Kudos to Mattel for reissuing this vintage reproduction doll and outfit. The quality of the outfit and accessories is top-notch. The doll comes with everything shown, as well as a doll stand that suits the doll perfectly. The face is charming and the overall construction is solid. This doll also features bendable legs as I recall them as a child-- which bend easily and flexibly.

Display wise she's a beauty. I keep the helmet off (it sits nicely on the stand next to her). Overall a really well designed lady.

I have two gripes with the doll. The first gripe is Mattel's insistence on stapling the doll's head to the packaging. With this short haired gal its difficult to miss the remnants of the three staples to the back of the head. It seems like needless and very unattractive reinforcement. Is wish they would cease this practice. The second gripe is the doll's hair. Barbie sports a vintage style pageboy, but its literally plastered down. This seems to be a trend with these repro dolls and again I am not sure what the value is to the person who owns the doll.

If you enjoy the vintage repros and plan on never taking this out of the box then you will be totally pleased. If you are like me and debox, then you might have to settle for the blemishes of poorly thought out packaging mars.

3.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps not as good as I thought, November 18, 2010

I think Mattel must have stayed true to the original. But for the modern collector, it may be a bit off to have a doll with big clumsy boots and gloves, clumpy formless suit and giant plastic dome. The hair is stiff and not really moldable - it seems like something best left in the box. The flag looks like one of those 10c party cocktail toothpick decorations.

In all, this was my least favorite in the Barbie Career dolls - feels like a better concept than actual reality.

The doll was just as I expected. It's a Barbie so accolades would get redundant. It arrived in a very reasonable amount of time. I would give this toy a five star review.
