This doll set is in the Pink Label Barbie Collection. Lucy and Ethel are wearing matching pink uniforms with hats and Lucy has pearl earrings and necklace. They have their cheeks bulging with chocolates. They have wide open eyes with hair (not painted on) eyelashes. They are holding squares of paper with a cardboard "chocolate" in their right hands. These are probably removeable since they don't show in the pictures on the website. Lucy says, "Ethel, I think we're fighting a losing game!" in a clip from the show. The doll may say more but I have not opened it to see and the box does not say.
This is a cute set for any Barbie collector or lover of I Love Lucy.

I am a little bit after the era of this show, but many are the fond memories of my mother and I watching it together. She always related to Lucy... which even if it's a little frightening , provided a lot of childhood entertainment. I got her this for her birthday this year, and she really loved these dolls. They are beautiful!

I opened mine just to see what was inside. When you take the stand out, the base can be turned to 'on' from 'try me' and four or so phrases from the show are recorded:

"Oh, this is easier"
"What are you doing you know .......is that so"
"Hey this is fun!"
"Ethel, I think we're fighting a losing game"

The flat cardboard chocolate in Lucy's hand fell off as soon as I took it out of the box. But I really like how these are sculpted - the fake eyelashes, bumps in the cheeks from the candy, and expressions. In all, a lovely set.

I was so excited when I received the package with the Lucy and Ethel dolls. :] At first I was unsure to buy it because the pictures make them look like they're just puckering their lips, but no :D. They look really good in person! The doll looks just like Lucy with her face and the hair and Ethel looks kinda like the real Ethel (or Vivian Vance).

One thing that disappointed me a bit was the little chocolates.. I thought they were going to be like little plastic or rubber mounds, but they're just cardboard paper :[.. Oh well I'm probably not going to open the box anyways ;D

Overall, if you're obsessed with the I Love Lucy show (like me), this is something you should really buy!

And it's a great buy because it's like 2 for the price of 1 :]

I wasn't aware that it came with a button you can push to hear taglines from the episode. Unfortunately, the button doesn't work. It was still a great price & I am pleased!!! It is not an educational toy, but that isn't the point. Who watches I Love Lucy to be educated?

The first doll set sent to me did not work. There is a button to push to hear a quote from this episode, but it was broken. I called Amazon. They said I had to order another one they could not order it for me. The first one was on sale but when I went to order the replacement it was not on sale. Amazon refunded me the difference and the second doll set came quickly and worked fine. It was a birthday gift for an adult who is a big fan of Lucy. She really liked the details of the dolls and the quote that brings back great memories.

These dolls are really funny! They are beyond my expectations in detail and content! I love Lucy and Ethel! THey are a great collectors item.

I got a great price on these dolls. This is my second set, but I wanted an out of box set. The dolls are very well made and look great in and outside the box. Highly recommend!

If you remember Lucy -- or have a friend who does -- you'll love this collector's item. Very nicely done and nicely packaged. Makes a great gift for people born in the Fifties who never missed an episode of what was then one of the funniest programs on TV. If your friend is a Barbie fan, even more reason to go for this gift.

I recently purchased "The "Birds" collector Barbie, and it is very nice, so I maybe was expecting a little more from this set of Barbies.
The dolls are cute with wide eyes,pursed lips and bulging cheeks... I think even if you would see them without the box you would still recognize them as Lucy and Ethel in the candy factory. The fabric of the dresses is sort of thin looking but nicely detailed with collars, belts, tiny buttons.

It is a nice gift for a collector..it is out of the ordinary and everyone loves Lucy.
