5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Doll For The Adult Collector, September 9, 2010

This review is from: Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf Barbie Giftset (Toy)

This is a lovely doll for the adult collector - lots of detail sewn into the outfit and a beautiful modern face paint. I love that Mattel chose to do a modern gothic line of dolls - sexy and mysterious.

As with most of the Barbie Collector dolls, she has solid legs that are not bendable. Since she's meant for display and not play, that's fine. These dolls are meant to be displayed on a stand. But unlike the cheap barbies, the legs aren't holly and don't knock around.

The quality of her costume is amazing. She has a raw musline undershirt/chemise with lace edging at the collar. The 3/4 sleeves are also capped with black lace and delicate ribbons matching the garters on her stockings. A black velvet corset has lovely lace up ribbons that are tied at the top in a bow. I really like that the ribbons are scale-appropriate for the size of the doll. She has a very interesting puffy skirt with tartan details. The skirt is sewn to the musline undershirt/bodysuit and not really meant to be removed for play. Over the outfit is the fourth layer - a red cape with a rolled up hood. Interestingly, the hood doesn't open - it is rolled and stuffed. Her hair goes over the top of it. And, of course, she has the fishnets with lace at the top and red/black shoes. On the inside of her cape is a barbie collector label.

I think the only distraction is that the skirt does not fit well on my doll. It's too big and bulky.

Her hair is long in back with a loose curl at the ends. She comes with a basket full of goodies appropriate for a forest romp.

The wolf doll is about half the size and equally (if not better) made. I'm not a fan of the plastic head - I do wish it was a ken doll with a removable wolf mask. But other than the plastic (soft vinyl, really) head on the wolf, I really love this set.

As with ALL Barbie Collector dolls, it is intended (and priced) for the adult collector. And I think the adult collector will love her!

My 5 year old daughter loves the story of Little Red Riding Hood, and the actual product is better than shown in picture. The doll is truly beautiful, the eyes are almost seductive

A fun set for collectors, and some hidden undertones. Overall a beautiful doll. Although I bought one, I would agree that these dolls belong online or in a more adult oriented store. I have no problems with Mattel making these, only with the fact that they are sold retail at childrens toy stores. But alas kids always want what they can"t or shouldent have.
