Barbie Collector Basics Model #03

My daughter and I purchased this doll to model some of the Olivia's Closet gowns she got for her 4th birthday. We were both tired of ALL of the blonde dolls! As a model, this doll's great...however, if you're buying her to play dress-up with, be aware that she is wearing double-sided tape on each of her lovely lady lumps to ensure her strapless black mini-dress stays in place during shipping. Once you've taken the dress off of the tape, be aware that she will NEVER be the same. All I mean is that from then on out her hair will be getting stuck on the tape and the dress won't completely re-stick to it. I took the tape off completely. It isn't a deal-breaker or anything since this doll is beautiful, but I wanted any future buyers to be aware of this since I myself would've liked to have known before playing with her. I might've simply kept her mint in her box with my others had I known.

Los certificados los tiré porque tenían machas marrones de humedad. Las muñecas tenían manchas de humedad pero salieron con un paño húmedo

This is one of my daughter's faves. Don't have to pay extra for weird outfit, since there are always extra outfits laying around anyway. This Barbie has brown hair. Don't buy this one if you are looking for one with red hair or blonde hair. This Barbie is on the thin side. If you are looking for a heavy-set Barbie, this is not the one. The dress is a bit skimpy--if you are looking for Amish or Pioneer style, this is probably not for you.

The things I like about this doll was her make-up. Her lips are a shimmering pink. Do not be deceived by photo. I consider her eye shadow a teal green. It highlights her eyes nicely and reminds me of the sea. Her dress was held up by tape. It was not the two way kind though and it didn't go all the way around her bust line. I had not problems with her hair getting tangled. The dress is soft like a favorite cotton T-shirt or a pair of socks. Is easy to take on and off. If you are looking for a doll with light auburn hair, this maybe the one for you. I would not call her expression sweet, but definitely model worthy. If you like articulated bodies, this is not the doll for you. This is one reason I gave it 3 stars. This is not a reflection on the seller.

Great looking....Stylish... Not enough accessories though.

Started collecting Barbies again, just for myself. I sew & sell clothes for Barbie, and my original Barbie (1958) is too fragile for dressing & undressing. The basic Barbies are perfect. And they are so pretty! Packaging was just right to cushion my purchases. They were shipped quickly. Will use this merchant again!

Gave as a gift to a doll collector friend and she was elated. She described it as a stunning and beautiful doll.
