Stiff Hair, Ok Likeness, May 31, 2010
This was honestly a great idea for a doll but perhaps not the best realization. The accuracy of the tattoos is quite good, down to Goldie's fingers being very long and slighly skewed at her waist. It feels like it was designed from a real woman. But the hair is quite stiff, oddly cut, and perhaps a bit to difficult to make a doll look like the actual model. Her face, also, feels very 'Barbie' and makes Goldie look vapid rather than impish. The doll especially suffers when you remove her from the box - the back of the hair is flattened from the box and since it was so stiff, it looks odd when the doll is displayed. The doll really loses a lot of charm when removed from the box.
Another detractor is that she is not posable - her legs and arms are quite stiff. I think I would have liked this a lot more if *I* could have put her in some fun period poses - rather than having to rely on the same one all the time.
In all, I do regret a bit that I purchased the doll. The likeness isn't very close, she isn't posable, and her hair is a true mess.
