Winter Fantasy Barbie is one of the highlights of Mattel's 2003 line. This doll is just gorgeous. Her face paint is lovely, with exotic-looking light blue eyes, smoky and pale lavender eyeshadow, and soft rosy lips. Her hair, a rich golden blond with a few lighter streaks near her face, is elegantly styled into an up-do, with an array of curls and braids piled behind her tiara. A few long curls hang down her right shoulder.

The white costume consists of a long white velvet coat, lined in front, with faux fur collar and cuffs. The coat is fitted on top, sewn to the undergown at the waist so it stays in place, and flares to a full, sweeping skirt. The undergown consists of a white dress and mesh overlay, adorned with silver glitter. The bodice of the undergown is very fitted, but the skirt is fuller, and the siver mesh overlay forms graceful folds below the belt. The underskirt doesn't go all the way around; the back half of it is plain white netting, so if you wanted to take off the coat this might be a drawback. The belt is made of a silvery material, with faceted pieces that catch the light and an antiqued finish. It goes round her waist on a silvery chain, which does go all the way around her waist -- no faking here. The tiara is made of the same material as the belt, with a similar design and finish. She has white high-heeled pumps under her costume.

The packaging for this doll is excellent. There is a window in back, so she can be viewed from either side, and she is attached to a clear piece of plastic inside the box with nearly invisible fastenings. There are two silvery trees packaged with her as well. When the light shines into her box, her dress sparlles like ice. The doll displays beautifully.

I wasn't too much of a fan of the holiday barbies in the past, but the elegance and beauty of this one, the first in a new series, was irresistable. Highly recommended for collectors!

This is one of the most beautiful Holiday Barbie Dolls; and I have them all. I love the way mattel is packaging their limited additions. I love to display my collection in my home and this way I can put her on a shelf or put her in my display cases. If you are a collector you should try and get this one. It is not really a doll to play with unless you buy two, but I love looking at her and when I have company they love looking at my collection.

Hi, i am really into collecting dolls, mostly the japanese bandi sailor moon dolls, as well as the itanian ones too. but I do also collect specailty barbie dolls, and for this price how could you go wrong? This is a beautiful doll, all in white, and very deatiled face! No need to get this doll customized! she's very durable, but I do recommend not to remove her form the box. (that is if you want to keep this doll in perfect condition) otherwise if this doll is for a child, and you don't mind spending that much money on a "play doll", then let the child at it!! Anyway this doll rates very well with me, and I'm very picky about wich dolls are considered art, and this one is!! so don't wait to get your hands on this one, they do sell out rather quickly!!

I BOUGHT THIS DOLL YEARS AGO WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT.
I THINK SHE'S BEAUTIFUL!! NEVER TOOK HER OUT OF THE BOX.
STILL IN MY DISPLAY CASE. EVERY SERIOUS DOLL COLLECTOR
SHOULD HAVE ONE IN THEIR COLLECTION. SHE IS WORTH IT!!

The Doll is just gorgeous. Has a beautiful face and hairdress. Would say looks like a Siberian queen, very elegant. The box is suited with some frozen branches with a traslucid blue background, a winter forest.

Get the amazing product fast, and very satisfied!
