I am just getting started with my collection of the Princess Dolls by Barbie.

I just purchased this doll today and she is gorgeous. I too like the reviewer before me posted, enjoy looking through all the dolls before making a final decision. This doll is very pretty for the fact her outfit is classy and so is her look. Her hair is pinned up very nicely and I just enjoy all ethnic barbies. Well worth the $$.

I have most of the dolls in the Princesses of the World Collection, and I must say that the Princess of Ancient Greece is one of my favorites!

I think her makeup is very attractive. One of the other reviewers mentioned that she had unattractive, crooked eyes. Mine doesn't look that way--she's really stunning! The copper fabric is very elegant and blends beautifully with home decor when she is displayed.

Usually when I go to purchase a doll in a store, I meticulously search through them to find the "perfect doll"--a combination of flawless features, straight, unrumpled clothing, and a perfect to near perfect box. Sometimes I have to go to 3 or 4 stores to find one like that. But I found this one on the first try, and just about every other one I've seen looks just as good as mine. She really is a good looking Princess!

This is one of the best dolls in this excellent series. With her upswept hair, vampish eye makeup and draped gown she is one of the most glamorous Barbies to come out recently. The back of the box shows a prototype doll using a standard Barbie head sculpt, fortunately this doll was actually produced using the Lea/Kayla head sculpt which is clearly a better choice. The only fault I can find with this doll is the fact that her dress is sewn on so if you plan on redressing her you will have to carefully undo the stitching, this doesn't ruin the dress but is a nuicance considering that it could have easily been made with snaps. Other than my one objection, and if you plan on leaving her as is this won't be a problem, I do think this doll is an outstanding value.
