How fun to have this reproduction of my much-loved doll from the childhood Barbie years! She looks exactly like the Barbie I remember. Although she was glam for the time, it always bothered me that she didn't have hair, so I would put her in the blonde bubblecut wig which is probably what was most popular in 1963. My fave outfit for this Barbie was the Barbie Career Girl, which was an elegant fashion of a sort of tweedy suit with elbow-length gloves. What a joy to find out that they reissued the blonde bubblecut with that very fashion as a "dressed doll" reproduction in about 2006. I love that Mattel is doing these very-successful reproduction dolls and clothes. I don't know how they hold up with a kid's handling but, for us adults, they are lovely dolls to display. Sentimental, enjoyable, collectable and very special for us baby boomers and anybody else. Thank you, Mattel! And thank you to Amazon sellers, as I've been able to catch up my collection with the various advertised repros from the past fifteen years which I'd missed before I knew Mattel had introduced them. I don't know why it's so comforting to have my reproduction Barbies...but it is!

I got this doll for my Mother as a present! She had always wanted one when she was a younger girl when the doll first came out. She was ecstatic when I got it for her. It is very exact remake of the original doll. It also makes a wonderful nostalgic-type present.

I bought this doll because it was my favorite growing up. Our bulldog got ahold of barbie and chew her up, so I am glad to purchase this. It brings fond memories back to me.

Santa brought me Barbie Fashion Queen in 1963 and I had to have this replica of it! I had years of enjoyment with the one Santa brought. As a Collector I have managed to leave the new one in the box! But I did get out my old one and compared the two, wigs and all!

I got this doll for my wife, who is collecting vintage type Barbies. I surprized her with it for Christmas. She loved it! She remembers this one from her childhood.

Very nice collectible to add to the the current Barbie repro collections. Is a nice addition. I like it.

I've just started collecting Barbie stuff and this was a good place to start. I've been on ebay since I bought this and it's a great place to get vintage things and of course buying vintage is a better investment. Still, I'm very happy to have this Barbie. It was one that my sister had and I coveted. Buy it and have fun!!
