This is one of the better dolls in the My Career vintage repros. Note that the swirl on her banks differs and some are better than others. But the clothing, look of the doll, and accessories make her a winner when deboxed. I have her on display and was really pleased with the purchase.

My youngest grandchild plays with it a lot, and she still loves it. She named it "Charlotte." The glasses and the globe and the geography book were nicely detailed.

I am impressed with each and every 'Reproduction Barbie Doll' that I own. I bought one for each of my four granddaughters, with the hopes of keeping this iconic legend alive. Barbie is educational because she encourages socialization and etiquette through role play. Of course, you need more than just the doll. I also bought the basic accessories and a few extras. A school classroom set will add to the fun. Also, a dining room, table and chair set with miniature dishes will teach the girls how to set a proper table and reinforce manners. However, the real role playing can only be taught by a good role model. That includes explaining that Barbie's body measurements are not realistic. This could lead to a discussion about being comfortable with our curves or lack thereof. Maybe even a discussion of anorexia versus obesity. That is why I highly encourage mothers (and grandmothers) to spend some time playing with their daughters. The magic moment is when you watch your girls playing alone or with friends and see how they reflect your positive influence. That, in turn, is carried throughout a lifetime. There's a reason Barbie is such a beloved, classic icon.
