1.0 out of 5 stars Definitely not what was advertised, January 9, 2010

This review is from: Barbie Collector Joan Jett Ladies of the 80s Doll (Toy)

I agree with all of the previous reviews. This doll looks nothing at all like the doll photo used for pre-order purposes. This was a photograph of a doll, not a drawing, so there is absolutely no reason for the doll NOT to look like what they pre-sold. Most of the differences could probably be overlooked, but the jacked up Barbie hair they put on this doll looks nothing like the shaggy hair on the doll in the pre-order photo.

If you search for Joan Jett Barbie on entertainmentearth.com you will see that they updated their site with a photo of the actual doll. Since they deal in collectibles, I assume they understand that what may seem like a small difference to some people, will be a world of difference to a collector.

It was a huge disappointment!

I am writing this to warn anyone about to buy this doll because I just got mine yesterday and was almost in tears when I saw it. I was so looking forward to this doll as it was backordered on the Barbie website but I actually got it early only to find out that the actual doll looks NOTHING like the one you are being sold. The whole selling point for me was that the doll looked just like Joan Jett right down to her shaggy black hair. The one I received has a long black bob, pink lipstick and for those of you who know about Barbies, the doll is actually the new high fashion model Barbie with the exotic features and lanky legs and arms with Joan Jett clothes and a white guitar. It is so horrible and now my poor boyfriend feels bad because it was supposed to be one of my Christmas presents but he noticed that it does not look like the doll he ordered for me so he showed it to me and I agreed that it looks nothing like the one being advertised. I am selling the doll tomorrow.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, January 8, 2010

I have to echo the other 2 reviews. I received my doll last week and it looks NOTHING like the doll advertised. The hair is much longer, and the face is completely different. I, too, am confused as to why they would show the doll as looking like Joan Jett when the actual product is so different.
