Fashionistas™ Doll #209 with Black Hair Wearing a Pink Plaid Dress, Pearlescent Headband and Strappy Heels

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. Doll No 215: This doll was on my wishlist for a year but I was waiting for its price to drop down for its overall simplicity. Although, after a wonderful discount a year later when I finally received this gorgeous and bold looking latina, I felt a great sense of relief as I realised how much I was longing for it! Besides, that starry pink top, the color-stained skirt, those shiny white stiletto-heeled boots and this thick lavender cuff-bracelet on one hand is top class; the attire taking its inspiration from the original 1986 'trendy' release, as the inner side of the display box visually mentions on it. The doll's hair is also supersoft. But the display box of this figure was opened up from above which I easily refixed with a little piece of tape.

First ever blind doll by Barbie in collab with the American Foundation for the blind! The box features the doll's name in Braille and is easy to open which has been specially made for blind people. It came torn though but thankfully the doll was not damaged. The doll 228 is very tall and has good facial features with (obviously!) Blind eyes. Her hair is brownish-yellow and waist length. Accessories include spectacles, shoes and a walking stick. Her arms have joints at the elbows. Stitching quality of the clothes is good and clothes look fashionable. I got it at an amazing discount so it was value for money. Would be a great gift for your children to teach them that even blind people need to be loved and respected.

This Barbie doll is my favourite, she is looking so beautiful 🥰✨ Her eyes is also so pretty and not looking like blind eyes but looking different from other dolls 😍 Quality - 10/10 Loved it 💕

Beautiful doll.. everything is perfect but the hair is little rough a scar on dolls left leg...but I'm happy with overall quality

Very pretty.

It's cute as it's shown

Good build quality and nice product, at a good price point.

Received the doll with latest date of import and in a secure packaging. No damage to the original box. Doll is very beautiful and her hair is same as shown in the photo.

It's not a bad doll for a $10 price tag, but her face print can be very pixelated. I bought 2, and they're both not perfect. Her body is the 5th Barbie body type - which has a flatter chest and wider hip.

Muy bonita muñeca y buen precio.

Underbar Barbie docka! Jättekul att hon är inspirerad av den första Barbie dockan Mattel lanserade! Hennes hår var jättefint och satt jättefint i en hästsvans som på originalet. Annars på andra dockor kan håret vara fult redan i förpackningen men hennes hår var inte det. Hon kom i en kartong och inte i en papperspåse, vilket var bra. Kartongen var jättefin och inga skador.

Bambolina molto bella. Più facile da tenere in mano rispetto alla Barbie standard. Alla bambina è piaciuta moltissimo 😁

Nickel, c'était un cadeau pour mes nièces. Elles ont adoré. Par contre les poupées sont mises à rude épreuve, voir si elles tiennent dans le temps.
