Product Description
Every year, for several wonderful days, the city of Rio de Janeiro transforms into the most extravagant city in Brazil. In a frenzy of music, dance sequins and feathers, the Cariocas (local inhabitants) and countless others celebrate carnaval. From the beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana to the Old City and beyond, revelers don sparkly and exotic costumes and take to the streets. The flamboyant balls, boisterous parades and fantastic street carnavals that continue on throughout the festival are legendary.
One brown-eyed beauty enters the throng, ready to party! With pure joy, she joins the dancers and moves to the rhythms of the samba - a delirious mixture of African and Portuguese music. Instruments blare as people sing along the the incessant drum beats. This is the carnaval she will never forget. Barbie Carnaval is dressed in a detailed purple and pink outfit. Doll measures 12" tall.

This review is from: Barbie Collector Dolls Of The World Carnaval Barbie Doll (Toy)
First of all I would like to say that I am about to give ya'll fact not opinion. I was offened by the fact that people are forgeting that this doll is about a culture much differant from American culture. This is about foreign people celebrating the pride they have in African ancestory and being of both African and Brazilian descent I know this well. This doll Is a beautiful representation of her people.
More conservative people I don't recomend this for you and/or your child(this is about a culture not an image). This is a great peice of merchandice to and diversity to a collection or to start a collection. For me, my collection is having dolls that represent the cuture of my anscetors so having a doll like this would be like finding a ruby out thousands of diamonds and saphires.

Let's Keep It Real People!,

This review is from: Barbie Collector Dolls Of The World Carnaval Barbie Doll (Toy)
As a collector of action figures, this doll gets my highest rating. As the title of this particular series states "Dolls of the World", the Carnival Barbie Doll does more than just entertain little girls, it teaches us all about racial and ethnic diversity (the greatest strength in American society today) as well as some aspects of South American culture. Anyone (adults and children alike) who cannot appreciate the fact that this collector's doll is "different" from any other Barbie doll in several, very good ways is probably racially or ethnically challenged.
Aesthetically, this doll is a beautiful collector's piece that would make an excellent addition to any Barbie collection. One more thing worth mentioning is that the eye lashes are rooted in, just like the hair. They are not painted on. This is a clear testament of the doll's collector quality. The costume is identical to those worn during Brazillian carnivals which is part of the doll's motif and meaning. I fail to see how this costume differs from that of a Barbie doll wearing a bikini. No one seems to be offended by that. I highly recommend this doll to any collector who appreciates a fine work of art that embodies ethnic diversity. Any kids or adults who feel that the Carnival Barbie is too "risqué" should refrain from purchasing it.

This review is from: Barbie Collector Dolls Of The World Carnaval Barbie Doll (Toy)
This doll reminds me of home - Trinidad and Tobago. On the left side of her face she has a tatoo (if I can call it that) of Trinidad. She looks everything like Carnival - our biggest event of the year. In case you don't know of Trinidad and Tobago, carnival and steelpan is our thing. Our country comprises people of all ethnicities and races. Most of us, like myself, they call 'callaloo' because we are mixed with everything from Spanish and African to Indian and Chinese. You would have a blast if you visit Trinidad and Tobago and when you do, this doll will become more than just a collector's item...it will become part of a beautiful memory. So just because she looks like a 'TRINI' I give her a SUPER BIG 5
