Editorial Review

Commemorating the millennium, this special 2000 Edition Celebration Barbie doll kicks off a new thousand-year cycle and, in turn, becomes a coveted collectible. Barbie appears in a fitted, backless bodice featuring vertical stripes of shining silver and randomly attached large silver snowflakes. A chic shawl neckline is made of fluffy white fur (a passable imitation of white mink) that hugs her neck and shoulders. But the skirt of the gown is the clincher, comprising four exquisite layers. The first two are a plain underskirt attached to a semipetticoat of glitter-encrusted lace. The third is a golden, satinlike fabric with a striking cutaway front. The top layer is a white mesh skirt that flares out from Barbie's trim waist and is decorated with generous amounts of glitter, more snowflakes, and a cutaway front. The gown is removable--thanks to a Velcro back panel--so Barbie can wear something else after the millennium buzz starts to wear off.

Barbie 2000--as gorgeous as ever--dons her hair and makeup in a simple but elegant fashion. Rich, formal colors coat her lips and eyes, accentuating a perfect smile and flawlessly arched eyebrows. Controlled twists of hair frame her face, and a golden tiara guides her long, straight blonde hair down her back. For accessories, Barbie wears a matching gold choker, twinkling gold earrings, a gold ring, and gold pumps. She brings to the new millennium a gift for you as well: a holiday ornament emblazoned with "2000" and decked with glitter and those silver snowflakes. Hang it wherever you'd like a festive reminder of this special year. As a collectible, the doll thoughtfully comes with a matching gold stand, as well as a two-year guaranteed warranty. --Diane Beall

I have a 12 year old daughter who enjoys collecting dolls with me. Each doll we collect has a special meaning for her. This doll is very pretty and will help her remember the year she turned twelve and the significance the American families place on the past and on the future in celebrating the millenium. The doll supposedly is in limited production so its a good idea to purchase it early before it is gone from the stores. The cost remains reasonable for a collectible.

I also will purchase the matching Hallmark ornament. I have been collecting these ornaments since they were released. Sometimes the ornaments are more stunning than the dolls they are based on. This may be the case this year.

Mattel should have issued a more spectacular doll for the year 2000, like those of the Holiday Barbie series. I think the designers missed a great marketing opportunity. While the doll is pretty,-the quality is mediocre in comparison to previous releases.

What a beauty she is. If you own Millenium Princess Barbie this doll is a must have. They just belong together. She is gorgeous. Her dress is a vibrant color of gold. All of the collectible 2000 dolls are worth purchasing. This is an investment that is well worth it. Thank you Amazon... you had the best price on this true gem!

I have Bought the Holiday Barbie Doll for my sister for the past ten years, and she looks forward to them each year. It seems that they get harder to find each year, So to avoid disappointed kids get them early. The value of the Doll does compare to the joy and memories they'll have.
