Please do not get me wrong. if you are one the leave dolls in their boxes. SHE IS A BEAUTY. But i bought her to debox. it is horrible. her legs are about an inch longer than a normal doll so regular clothes DO NOT fit her. Her waist is molded in a permenant arch so she can NEVER STAND STRAIGHT. if you would like to pics of this doll next to a regular barbie please email me at [e-mail]

My daughter wanted this rather expensive Barbie primarily because it said on the back "Ever-flex body" and showed the doll with the waist bent. She and I assumed that Ever-flex meant flexible. Given the bizarre angle shown, it never occured to us that anyone would sell a doll locked permanently in such a strange stance.

We would not have purchased this doll, even at half the price, if their packaging had been honest. 'Ever-flex' means that the waist will never, never flex. It's locked that way forever.

On the other hand, my daughter likes the clothes, and maybe she'll have fun with the karaoke machine. This might be worth buying once it goes on sale, but keep in mind that you'll be stuck with a permanently weird-looking doll that will never stand or sit straight. If the makers of this doll believe that there's a market for that, then they should have been honest about it on the packaging.

1.0 out of 5 stars BARBIE DOESNOT CHANGE POSES, December 15, 2004

I purchased this barbie today for my 4 and 5 year old girls. little did we know, the dolls pose doesnot change so she remains in the curved position and no where on the box does it state that the does position can be changed like you can on a normal barbie, and her legs are held together with elastic and they are quite longer than the average barbie doll. My daughters were very unhappy. And also I think it is terrible that the karaoke machine only plays one song.
