Got this to replace exact doll that had been destroyed. She is absolutely beautiful! The packaging was in great shape...looked just like the one we got in 2000 but 11 yrs later. Thank you! The detail on this Barbie is stunning.

This collectible Barbie commemorating year 2000 is stunningly beautiful in choice of blue velvet dress, ornamentation and the "2000 ornament" she is holding.

I purchased this as a gift. She absolutely adored it. It arrived in a prompt and timely manner and was packaged very nicely. I would recommend this vendor as a reputable dealer with quality products.

10 year old Barbie still pristine in original box. Bought for Granddaughter, who loves Princess type dolls. This one very regal with highly detailed crown/tiara and matching necklace, silver post earrings (don't seem to be removeable) and ring on right hand.

Dress is true dark blue velvet with sparkle sheer stiff fabric around collar and cap of puffy sleeves. There is silver braiding around heart shaped bodice and silver embroidered lace highlighting the bodice and waist as well as along either side of sliver lace fabric front A-line inset of lower dress--which has white satin behind the inset of lace. This comes with a keepsake New Years Eve plastic Crystal cut ornament with "Happy New Year 2000" silver ribbon. I believe this is to simulate the Ball dropped in NYC Times Square.

The couple of drawbacks I see are:
--this may be too pretty for young hands to carefully play with AND the fine grade glitter does rub off of dress at sheer fabric and lace areas (so be careful about getting in little eyes).
--Plus the earrings don't seem to be removeable (as mentioned) AND
--there are boring old lady navy pumps SHOES which I found surprising. (I didn't realize Mattel couldn't afford an extra 2 cents of pretty silver plastic for evening sandal heeled shoes.)

This Barbie has the more mature face, red lips, almond shaped blue eyes with painted long eyelashes--not the wide-eyed teenage look of newer dolls.

Would recommend to collector, to display or more mature 9-12 years old that takes care of dolls.

I have always wanted this doll. Years ago I searched high and low with no success. I received it quickly in perfect condition. Thanks!
