Barbie Fashionistas Doll #223 with Blonde Wavy Hair, Totally Hair-Inspired Dress & Accessories, 65th Anniversary Collectible Fashion Doll

Doll No 229:I am truly loving the fact that Mattel is taking an initiative in diversifying their dolls in a way to educate kids and to also promote self confidence in adults by making them feel inclusive through theirs range of extending products. I feel very motivated to support their cause. Prior to this one, last year I had purchased another ndss doll that was Caucasian, but this year with the release of the Coloured one, the doll instantly went into my wishlist untill I found a great discount on it. Another feature which acts as a bonus to this particular one, is the rare braided hair which I always wanted to add in my collection and it makes this petite doll more unique than ever! To add to this, the doll possesses a very happy bliss-bestowing-smile. So, thankyou Amazon and a heartfelt thanks as well to the seller; I'll be certainly returning back to explore for more offers from you.Doll No 218:This doll simply stole my heart at the first glance of its exuberance that it emits so casually in representing the Rainbow Community without even mentioning it. And to add, when received, I remained completely mesmerised by its split shaded honey/sky blue eyes. That two toned white and blue hair also compliments its eager looking face sculpt and in an effort to diversify it more, Mattel has incorporated the curvy body with a lovely beach tan. The doll wears a hefty set of intricately detailed bright-pink sturdy shoes, and the only accessory it comes with is that long golden chain to hang below-chest a seemingly heavy circular gold-pendant.This beautiful Feminine figure, in fact looks like a mermaid, as if come out of water, full in prep to explore hers terrestrial longings on feet!Moreover, on the cover by inside, I saw a small picture down, of the original 1984 sports Barbie which this one has taken its inspiration from. And the inscription under it, mentions this make to be of the Barbie's 65 years of a 'future shaping' celebration range. This particular one's reboot seems to have gone really well, as the outfit also is truly wonderful, making the whole getup absolutely inviting to the eyes, because of which the doll stands out to me personally as a Collector one; that too at such an affordable half price, the seller had offered during the time of my purchase. This Barbie model has "inspiringly" got me awestruck.Doll No 228:Mattel has impressively raised its bar quite high recently with the launch of this one. I went through a couple of YouTube videos in which reviewers with varying levels of vision loss, seemed in awe absolutely admiring the brand's effort of representing them. By becoming this intensively inclusive towards expressing acceptance of diversity in their professional ethics of doll making, they have begun to win many hearts of disabled individuals. This forward change in theirs new customer reaching phase will certainly be a self confidence building step for the kids dealing with such life challenges of the new generation.Reviewing from my personal side, when I received the doll, I just fell in love with this doll's lucious deep golden-brown hair. The multiracial face sculpt is a beautified success and the subtle gender-blending pink and blue all-decades identifying dress is refreshingly Feminine! With the least amount of simplistic makeup, the figure possesses a neutral skin tone that anyone could relate with, without falling into any mental debate on likely type-baised discrimination. This AFB doll comes across very organic; in simple terms an all rounder for all to befriend her.And what struck me the most was the lovingly crafted display box. For an ease of opening for the visually impaired customers, they have provided the lower back of the cover with a neatly carved-in cavity for the fingers to slide in efficiently. And there's a write-up in Braille on the lower front below the heading "Expanding possibilities for people with vision loss". I found these two features just heartwarming and genuinely caring. These are all the wonderful traits of empathy. And an hassle-free Mattel has once again, done it.

super quality as expected from Mattel Barbie.Sure genuine original product. I got it for 41% discount so value for money.

Loved the doll. She’s beautiful. Pretty face, thick long hair affordable too.

Her packaging was okay I guess but the problem was that when doll arrived she had black dots on nose and chin they faded after cleaning but except that she is very cute and beautiful doll her fashion outfit is very nice my daughter loved the doll!! 💖✨

I am absolutely thrilled to receive the Barbie doll, which has a stunningly beautiful face. However, I was disappointed with the packaging. Unfortunately, the doll was only wrapped in a single layer of packaging without any protective material, and it arrived dirty. I had to clean it thoroughly before handling.Although the doll itself is lovely, the poor packaging was a letdown. Due to the subpar packaging, I'm deducting one star from my overall rating. Otherwise, everything else is satisfactory...

Nice product

The designing of a Barbie fashionista doll based on the Totally Hair Barbie released way back in 1992 is a good idea. Her face and curls are quite beautiful along with the triangular earrings. Her simple outfit based on her predecesser is a good designing technique. Good gift for Barbie collectors of all ages. Pity, her box arrived a bit damaged due to wrapping in a simple delivery cover. It took a great deal of effort to put it back to a reasonable condition. It would be good if cardboard boxes are used for shipment of Fashionistas and other daily play Barbies so that the boxes are not smashed when you give them as gifts. Gifted it to my daughter who was very pleased to receive this model.

Her face has light makeup unlike other Barbie dolls and is adorable and her head is full of hair which is also great. Quality is amazing as always expected from Barbie dolls. She is also a total value for money doll. You won't be disappointed with purchasing her.
