Barbie Holiday African American Doll

She’s definitely stunning! I purchased mine from Walmart. However, I had to make some changes. For example, she had thinly rooted hair. There was a gap large enough to put more plugs of hair and there were other areas that could be filled with additional plugs of hair as well. Because of this, I added hair towards those areas for complete fullness or to ensure that she had the fullness of hair that I desired. Next, she’s not on a made to move body, so I switch her to a made to move body for flexibility. Overall, she’s worth the purchase, but with some changes for those who are doll collectors and for those who wish to showcase the doll as a fashionista, not a playline doll.

This doll is stunning. With articulated arms, long hair and a doll stand she’s a great collector doll or play doll for someone who wants a more glam Barbie, at a good price point. Her llama is adorable, the dress is cute and her makeup is well executed. Face paint was printed on well, no wonkiness, and she could be a great gift to a big sister to be, a mom, or if you’re like me, to yourself as a collector of our favorite blonde icon! I’ll be picking up another one or two, she’s that cute!

I like the cute llama that she comes with. The dress is plain but it is the pattern of the hospital blankets for newborns so it’s very fitting for the doll’s concept. I really just bought her for her face mold, which is quite unique. Arms are articulated but legs aren’t. She comes with a doll stand and white hoop earrings. I bought her for about $13 and I think she is worth the price.

Her hair like other reviews state is absolutely amazing, thick and full, silly with the perfect amount of wave, my daughter immediately wanted her as a made to move, she was a perfect skin tone match with the soccer made to move body for those who are wondering, highly recommended!

The dress is a nice fabric, very well made and quite simple underneath the decorative bodice. The attention to detail, however, needs some work to be honest. There were slight factory fault but nothing I can't live with or change. The style of shoes was unexpected but I loved them. The doll is simple but I like that most about her especially since... Simplicity IS the essence of good taste.

Didn't purchase the Barbie to open. Wanted to get it for my daughter as it came out the year she was born. Packaging will most likely not hold up to time. The doll looks great, the plastic bodice is okay - even a crocheted bodice would have been a major improvement.

I love my holiday barbie, she is very much welcome into my home!!!

I really like this doll the low price from amazon and the great quality of mattel make the right combination to buy more than 3 the only thing I didn't like is that is shipped in an envelope and the boxes get crush on delivery
