Editorial Review

Sure, Barbie has always been flexible from an occupational standpoint. After all, how many people do you know who could so easily transition from animal doctor to fashion model to rock singer? But now Barbie is flexible enough to practice dance moves or yoga positions. Instead of being merely jointed like a traditional Barbie or most action figures, her limbs and torso are built around a special bendy material. While she can't stand up so well, Barbie is able to twist into numerous poses, opening up new career opportunities for her, including gymnast, choreographer, and contortionist. Barbie is outfitted in a purple lamé top with matching purple satiny pants. She also has a pink water bottle, shoulder bag, and portable stereo for all those workouts her new flexibility affords her. --John Moe

5.0 out of 5 stars World's first totally poseable Barbie, February 19, 2003

This review is from: Dance 'N Flex Barbie (Toy)

Dance N Pose Barbie is doll you don't want to pass up.

Her body is completely made of the same soft flex material dolls like Jewel Girl and Jam N Glam use for their bendable bellybutton waists so you can bend her about (ala gumby) in almost anyway possible.

There are a few bad things about her though..
1. Flex material is very prone to become dirty calling for frequent cloth baths.
2. She is somewhat limited in poses in an odd way. For one, She can't sit down.
3. If bent in to too extreme positions the wires in her arms may eventually come out.

The pros however definetly outway the cons. She has an unusually lovely face, outfit, and hair. Her packaging is excellent as well so she is most definetly recommended to collectors and this doll, due to her somewhat fragile nature may likely become rare as years pass.

Don't miss her.

This doll is the best I bought for a long time,but I don't really like the way my friends treat her! I think because of this doll I got back into doll collecting but little girls may not be all that impressed because of the way she is all rubbery and she is VERY hard to dress....I reall think this doll looks good in the blue Anastasia gown

This Barbie is really fun to play with.It's so unusual how her whole body is that soft rubbery material!But what suprised me is that her behind and chest are the flexy material too!This toy well, I wouldent call it educational,unless your trying to learn how to do the human pretszal!But you'll have hours of fun with it!I think they should have made her fingers seperated with wire in them so she could hold stuff.And her skin does need a scrub down after playing because of the black marks from the rubber.All in all its great I reccomend it ecspecally for a b-day or holiday!
