must be one of Robert Best's best creation for something this dramatic.

the work on the whole doll is pure gold.

i have heard people complain about her hair, makeup, dress, posing in the box.

take a big step back and drink it in, you perceptions will change

my hat off to you Robert Best.

I received this item as a Xmas gift. I had viewed her many times online but never saw in a store. From viewing her online she looked very natural. Once I received this item I was disappointed that her skin tone looked unnaturally dark. I am AA myself and all skin colors are beautiful but her skin just was to dark for the make up she is wearing. Her lipstick is to pink and her eyeballs are to white. She looks spooky, like she would glow in the dark. I own 9 other Barbies of all different colors and this is the only one I really dislike! I would advise to view her in person before ordering/purchasing.
On a positive note her dress is beautiful.

I guess it is my fault for not looking closer but I was thinking it was an actual Barbie Doll I bought for my niece. I mean it is a legit Barbie product but a very adult one meaning it is not really something you play with and for a 8 year old that is a bummer. For what it is it is great but for my purpose I should have researched more.
