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!

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.

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 :/

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.

So, my wife had this original Barbie when she was growing up and it was her favorite doll ever!!! I was sooo happy to be able to bring back the memories of her childhood with Barbie!!!!

This was my favorite Barbie as a little girl and I was SO happy to find this reproduction! It is pretty much the same Barbie I remember growing up with. There might be some subtle differences versus the 1985 original but I think they did a GREAT job with this doll! The dress, hair stuff and booklets look exactly how I remember. I will probably keep it in the box, at least for a while! I bought this from Target and the box was in perfect condition. I really like these reproduction Barbies! I hope they make more!

Peaches and Cream was my first Barbie ever! I got it for X-mas in '85 along w/the Barbie Dream Kitchen. That was the best X-mas ever! Unfortunately, my younger siblings (who were toddlers at the time) got to her, they chewed her legs and destroyed my whole kitchen. I was so happy when I saw this replica. I am not a collector, I bought it for the sakes of a childhood memory. I love it!

I had this doll when I was a little girl, in fact I have an original in mint condition now. I bought this one as a Christmas present for my mother. It has been her favorite Barbie since she bought me one when I was a toddler. Being able to compare the two I can honestly say that the reproduction is very accurate. It is truly lovely. She looks just like the original and even includes a lot of the same accessories. It seems to only be missing the little wheel that you can spin to choose the design of the boa on the dress. I definitely recommend this as it is very lovely and accurate.

I AM A BARBIE DOLL COLLECTOR AND THIS PEACHES N CREAM BARBIE IS A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO MY COLLECTION. THE CONDITION WAS IN WONDERFUL CONDITION/MINT CONDITION. VERY HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE.

I bought this as a gift for a co-worker friend! We have lunch most days together and share stories of growing up.
She had said that because she was the youngest of a large and frugal family, (and due to religous beliefs, not a complaint, just an observance,)had the really inexpensive fashion dolls and had seen the Peaches an Cream and secretly had always loved her!
Well, that was about 3 years ago!
Imagine her suprise when I told here I had something for her out in my car, but that she had to promise me to never let her children open it and that she would keep it in the box!
I thought she was going to hug me to death when she opened the shipping box! Thank you for recreating these dolls! It has been a healing process for me to be able to recover some of my long lost friends and add new ones to my growing collected family! The items are always wraped protectively and arrive in mint condition, and they are always on time! I only have one problem and that's a limited budget! I would buy one of everything if I had the money! ^-^Thank you!
