So pretty!, December 25, 2009
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Barbie My Favorite Peaches N Cream Barbie Doll (Toy)
I was so glad when I seen that this doll was re-issued! When I was little I begged and begged for this doll! I never got it and was crushed when my older cousin got this doll for her birthday when she didn't even like dolls or barbies. Now I have mine and she is totally beautiful and I love how you can display the doll without having to rip open the box. The best x-mas gift I received for 2009!

Great Doll But Not A Very Good Reproduction, June 10, 2010
= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Barbie My Favorite Peaches N Cream Barbie Doll (Toy)
I love this doll and I think as a stand alone she is fantastic. But, from a collector point of view, she is not really a very good reproduction of the original Peaches 'N Cream Doll. Here is why
1) the original doll has much longer and fuller hair than the repro doll
2) the lips of the repro doll are too big. The 80s dolls do not have such big lips but more refined, finer lips - subtle
3) the lip color of this repro is also too intense and dark
4) compared to the original, the make up (especially around the eyes) is just not as good and detailed
5) the repro doll's hair is also too dark. The original doll has very light blonde hair, whereas this one's a more yellow, darker blonde
6) the jewelry of this repro doll is made of plastic (specifically the "stones"). The jewelry of the original doll was made out of glass. Looks like Mattel has sacrificed detail and quality to save some money
7) this repro also has the painted on knickers whereas the original one didnt
8) her feet are also too big and she does not have the closed toed shoes like the original doll
So overall I'd say a great doll but compared to the original doll, this doll has a much lower quality and just exhibits less attention to detail (like eye make up, hair color etc). It is a shame because it costs almost 50 dollars and is quality wise probably not worth all that much.

This review is from: Barbie My Favorite Peaches N Cream Barbie Doll (Toy)
I had this Barbie when I was young, and I have to say that I never expected to see her again. She is beautiful! From inside the box, she looks exactly like the one I had when I was little. Her dress and sash are perfect! If she wasn't $35 I would totally buy her :/
