I was so excited to see this Barbie reproduced! I have the original Barbie still and a couple of her friends from the Rockers--Derek and Diva. Silly me even went to an in store meet and greet in 1986 when this doll originally came out. I was 12 and still lovin' my Barbie dolls that's for sure! Someone was dressed and looked just like her, but I didn't care. :) Too bad this didn't come with the cassette tape that was in the original.

This doll, Barbie and the Rockers Repro 1986 is the best repro from the My Favorite Barbie Doll series! Since mostly original molds are used, the doll is the most authentic of all the My Favorite Barbie dolls reproduced to celebrate Barbie's 50th birthday. Face paint, hairstyle and outfit are great! The doll is bright, cheerful, with her lime green box and she really stands out. If you are a fan or owned this doll as a child I would not hesitate to buy this great Barbie doll!

5.0 out of 5 stars Back to the 80s with Barbie and the Rockers, May 30, 2011

I still have my original Barbie and the Rockers doll, and the make up and hair looks pretty accurate. If anything, I'd say the eye make-up is better on the original. But it's close. The new one seems to have brighter make-up. This doll represents the mid-80s with all it's big hair, wacky and colorful fashions, and rock star look. Looking at it just takes me right back to being a kid. If you love the 80s and Barbies, this is a must have. Total fun for a collector, especially if you were a kid then-and if you had the original, it's great to have a brand new doll that looks like the ones we played with. I love all the repro Barbies I have, but this one is my favorite. It's very colorful and just pure fun.
