this is the first barbie i’ve ever bought, and im so, SO happy to own her. i just couldn’t say no to all the pink. 😍 all the ire to actually receive her was almost worth it once i finally got her in my hands. also im glad you unboxed yours so i can live vicariously through you, since i plan to keep mine in the box. 😂
I am a long time off-and-on Barbie collector since the 80s. It was so pleasant to see your enjoyment: that's what Barbie is meant to do. I can't fully warm up to this particular one, but I definitely like the direction of many of the newer collector dolls. There is some imagination, some nice details, and some glamour that have been missing. I still think the prices are too high, and especially since it is basically 1.5 times the amount in Canadian dollars. However, I recall collector Barbies being expensive in the 90s too compared to playline dolls.
Considering barbie was having a bit of "dark age" for a bit there even with their collector dolls, im so glad this is like a return to form. Hearing the enthusiasm and adoration in your voice makes me remember that feeling as a little kid and you get the barbie you wanted so so badly for your birthday and you take her everywhere with you ❤ it makes me genuinely happy to see barbie invoke that child like love again.
Mine has been shipped! Im thinking of doing something crazy...since she is such an expensive doll. But I kinda want to give her rosebud lips. I could remove her lipstick to do it or just add some darker pink on top. I might put a bigger bow in her hair too so you can see it better
I bought this on a total whim back on 5th October and am still waiting to hear about shipping to UK. One thing about the boxes … the fancy opening boxes (eg Star Wars) are great fun but totally impractical for displaying the doll. I would be much happier with a box that has a removable lid, that then slips onto the inner box for standing on a shelf - ‘cos, mine aren’t coming out of the packaging (other than first look) during my lifetime!
Lol i have a rubric based off yours and I've been thinking i need to add more criteria or something to make it harder for a doll to "pass". I lack space and money for all the dolls!
Haha yeah, I was thinking of making mine harder to pass for more expensive dolls…so for example anything over $40 would need a 20 to pass instead of a 15
I just got a $100 Barbie on sale for $60, but even if I paid $100, I would & did take her hair down & washed & styled. And I put her on a made to move body. It's my doll, I want to enjoy her my way. 🤷♀️
I have this doll as well. I know we can't see it but I really wish she had undies on under her dress. I guess that's my biggest gripe about Barbie in dresses. Especially short or tshirt dresses. Give them undies or little shorts. That's the modest in my coming through. I agree though, she's a gorgeous doll. I am curious what her hair would look like if you wash it. Please film or share pics if you do. ❤
Could you in Siri? Can you do the stitching at the front and make it a proper more symmetrical look or is it just sort of like that. I’m not a big fan of halo style, but I like a ball gown. I meant in theory and high low.
I have very limited sewing knowledge but I don’t think you could alter it to be a full ballgown all the way round without adding extra pieces/fabric to the skirt…like as it comes just unstitching would just make it unfinished rather than being able to be “let down” so to speak
She is so beautiful! Your joy in her is infectious.
She is so gorgeous and I’m so glad she finally got to you! 😄

SHE'S GORGEOUS AS IS. PERFECTION!

Fabulous doll, she’s so beautiful 💜

Hope she ships to you soon!

Was tempted but her box is huge. I keep my pricey collector dolls in box. Also with tax and shipping she's $117.

I’m really curious to see what the next one in the series will be like 😊
Yesss I can’t wait to see more!
She’s amazing
O m geeee 😍😍😍

I plan on giving it a very gentle wash, once I do I’ll post on IG!
Perhaps they’re following 15century to the extreme - but yes, some pantaloons with ribbons set off the outfit. Can’t wait for mine to ship!
That’s my pet peeve too! Give the dolls undies:)
Mine has a upper lip bigger. I’m exchanging or just return. It bugs me
Bonitas like com carinho 👍🏼❤

Hi! I'm sorry for this question, I'm just curious, how do you identify yourself? :)
No you’re good! I’m nonbinary, primarily use they/them pronouns ☺️ Thank you for asking!
