I'd been wanting this reproduction Barbie since it came out, but the price was a bit steep. I got one for Christmas and I'm very happy with her. She looks very similar to the one I remember from my childhood. As someone else said, there may be subtle differences compared to the original, but it looks close enough for me. It brings back a ton of memories of playing with my Barbies in the 1980s, when glamour, gowns, and lots of make-up were in. Her dress is so pretty, and the box is of course a nice peach hue to match. I am going to keep her in the box along with my 1986 repro Barbie and the Rockers doll. I think they both are a great blast from the past, full of nostalgia but also, just wonderful to look at if you love dolls. Now if only they would come out with Crystal Barbie, Magic Moves or Jewel Secrets, more 80s Barbies I had.
