Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Barbie is ready to hit the runway and show off the latest global fashions as a top model. While we all know Barbie’s occupational curiosity has led her down varied paths, this one is perfect for the slender fashionista. She comes wearing a trendy outfit of fishnet stockings, a tiered black miniskirt, a patterned top with a short sleeve shrug, and ankle boots. Her long blond hair is styled sleekly straight and she is carrying an animal print handbag.

While this outfit is certainly catwalk worthy, it’s only logical that a working model have multiple wardrobe changes when on the current job--or when attempting to land her next fashion gig. So this Top Model Doll comes with a complete second set of clothing pieces and accessories. There are denim crop pants, a strapless pink top, a black hat, and a pair of black high heel shoes. All of the clothing can be mixed and matched to create an array of looks for the photographers.

And posing for those photographs is much easier now, thanks to this Barbie’s ModelMuse body and its 12 articulation points. Being able to move her at the wrists, elbows, knees, hips, and more means her poses are realistic to those of an actual model. However, it should be noted that the foot-tall doll will not actually stand on her own.

When Barbie heads out on go-sees, she can wear her black frame sunglasses, carry her portfolio, and pull her hair back with the included hair bands (making it better for designers to see her fabulous features). Also included is a hairbrush for styling her long tresses and a shoe box to hold the pair she’s not currently wearing. Both of these accessories have the bright pink Barbie silhouette logo on them.

Barbie can pose in a variety of ways thanks to 12 articulation points. View larger.

This review is from: Mattel Barbie Top Model Doll (Toy)

I am glad Barbie has gotten back to her roots as a fashion model . Barbie is a fashion doll and for the first time in quite a while she lives up to her billing. I am tired of short flat chested dumpy, plain and short dolls with sappy pets or phony joe jobs .
This doll is all about glamor! Her platinum hair is long and silky. her pose shouts attitude. Doll has the model muse body which allows her to wear much fuller skirts without looking frumpy. Her eye make-up looks like she just left the MAC counter. The boots she is wearing are remarkable pieces of shoe-making.. these are of a quality usually only found made for Volks or other BJD dolls.. the kind of shoes that usually cost more than this complete doll does! YOU not only get a fabulous doll, but she comes with a second outfit and , for the first time in a while, a good hair brush ! Best of all, Mattel did not sew her hair to
the box back, as they did so many times in the past. with the new see through box, you can see what you are getting.. and with Top Model Barbie you are getting one glamrous doll!

This is one of the prettiest dolls that Mattel has created recently. There is a plethora of Top Model dolls available.

The problems I think Mattel is having is that they are trying desperately to regain the doll market championship -- I don't think this will happen.

Taking the boots off is okay, but putting them back on made me think that mattel put them on and then made the stockings. Impossible, for sure.

She comes with a delightful array of items for a top model to be on site in any of a dozen places for a photo shoot.

There are so many doll makers now, that for Mattel to regain it's market shares, they must compete in the quality versus quantity race. Why not put out six pink label dolls (standard), 3 gold label, 2 silver label, and 1 grand special, and 2 Silkstone -- at the limitations they have specified.

I've been a collector for years, but it is extremely annoying to have a head pop off for no real reason except trying to put a shirt on the doll.
