5.0 out of 5 stars I am now a Barbie collector because of this doll., May 6, 2010

I am completely in awe of this doll. I have never played with, collected, or even noticed a Barbie doll until I saw this one. I purchased her originally for my daughters collection of African American Barbie dolls. But after 2 weeks, I decided to open her and keep her for myself. Now, I have a new hobby and possibly career. I love her skin tone, her hair, eyes, her endless dark chocolate legs, everything about her. As an African American woman I was just so happy to see such a beautiful doll with hair like my own, short and curly. A few Barbies with flocked hair do exist, as I have learned since purchasing this doll, and I hope they continue to design more of them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sticking up for the dark barbie w/bad make up, August 13, 2011

My husband got this doll for me and I too thought they could have done better with the make up. I also know that mattel has made some nice black dolls as a collector for over 18 years I have a large selection of black dolls.
We have to remember we come in all different colors and we also don't all look a like. In saying that I know I would always prefer to have our dolls look beautiful because we are beautiful. Let her represent a positive thing instead of a negative thing.
I will keep her in my collection I might even change her eye make up but I will never think she is ugly.
