5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful dolls, lovely set, January 16, 2009

I purchased two of this set, I liked the first one so much I had to buy another to debox. The dolls are lovely reproductions of the vintage dolls, though the original titian-haird 1964 Swirl Ponytail Barbie doll was not available with the bubble-gum pink lip and nail color. Coral lips and nails would have been more accurate. But it's a lovely doll nonetheless, and the Skipper doll is adorable. I hope Mattel creates more repro Skipper dolls, as well as Skooter and Ricky. This set comes with a cardboard backdrop that is based on Barbie's New Restyled Dream House, and it's a wonderful bonus. I have several of my vintage repro dolls displayed in front of it. Great set, definitely worth the price.

This Barbie & Skipper make an excellent addition to my collection of Barbies. I bought it to collect not to play with. I love it and recommend it.

I ordered this because it seemed like a good deal and always wanted the Skipper and Barbie dolls I never received as a kid. They have nice painted faces and clothes, but the Skipper's hair is nothing like the originals, the bangs are too thin and the dolls hair is not soft and lifelike like the older dolls.
I decided to invest in the original Skipper dolls instead and you can find good deals on Ebay by the 1960's dolls which have better value.
I feel this item is a waste of money and would not recommend it, ended up just giving it away to my grand
daughter and she doesn't even play with them. Oh well!
