After seeing a picture of this barbie I thought she left something to be desired. When I saw her in person I thought she was beautiful. She is well done in her little costume. This girl is a keeper for any barbie lover.

I saw her in the store today. I just had to get her. She is very good education, the clothes are realistic to the time period as well. I thought she looked so gorgeous. I love herface, whicht he photo makes look European. But my doll is very Asian looking. She is the only WORLD doll i have. I only am getting the Asian ones, they are the mos beautiful.

Anyway you wont be very dissapointed in her. She is beautiful.

One flaw is that her hands are in a 90 degree angle for good.
Her legs can bend. The suit is one piece.

i give it on a scale from 1 to 10
9/10

fantastic doll.

The doll I received looks nothing like the pictures displayed in the catalog or most websites. As I only collect the asian barbie's I thought she would be a great addition to my collection, but she turn out to be a disapointment. Her hair is not braided properly in a round shape as shown on the back of the box picture and I don't understand that piece of pink plastic log in her hair. I took her out the box to display her and noticed that her shoes do not fit her feet. The details on her clothing are stickers. Her hands are stuck in a 90 degress position, there is no way to straighten her arms. This is definitely one of the poorer quality of barbie collector's dolls I have seen. I would recommend only buying this doll if it was on sale.
