I bought this for my daughter's 4th birthday. She said she wanted a Barbie doll in a wedding gown. So, as a dutiful dad, I ordered this thing. It's got the glittery dress, the bouquet thing, shoes, bracelet, and I think a hairbrush, if I'm not mistaken. I only saw it in its fully accessorized glory for a fleeting moment. Because these dolls, in the hands of kids of that age, inevitably end up stripped naked with their accessories lost under the couch or buried with a thousand other knick knacks in their toy chests. To play responsibly with these things you have to have some organizational skills, which probably don't surface until age 8. I must say, though, seeing the doll naked, they must have tried to make them more anatomically correct compared to what I remember as a kid in the 80's. She's actually got a derriere worth looking at now. I feel dirty typing that.

My major complaint is the price. You know Mattel is milking these things because the actual cost of production in some sweatshop in China has got to be around $5 at most. They can charge what they charge because dutiful dads like me look like cheap bastards if they turn down their 4 year old daughters on their birthday.

MY GRANDDAUGHTER LOVES PLAYING WITH THIS BARBIE AND USES HER AS A FANCY DRESS DOLL, NOT JUST A BRIDE. I HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT AS OTHER BARBIES WITH SPARKLES. THE GLITTER COMES OFF ALL OVER EVERYTHING. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR THE PRICE OF THE DOLL.
