BarbieBasics Model 01 Collector Doll with Brunette Hair, Black Mini Dress & Shoes, Universal-fit Fashions, Posable Body & Swappable Doll Head

Very nice face sculpt - lots of character. I really like the basic black mini-dress - though I felt the need to add some little black short shorts. I know, I'm a doll prude, right? She poses beautifully.

Arrives with her hair heavily gelled, but a quick rinse to wash a little of it out and her hair becomes easy to style and reposition without flyaways. Her paint was perfect, her skin color is lovely, the boots are cute and her earrings are lovely, though the metallic paint is already flaking just a little near the ear holes unfortunately. Nice accessories, good detail!She was absolutely worth the price, and any collector or older child (the earrings and shoes are a choking hazard for a small child) would love this doll.

Took a little while to get here, but she made it. If you’re a collector and like to keep your dolls in the box, or even if you just want it to look nice as a gift for a kid, be aware that mine shipped in a soft envelope with the top half of the box pretty crushed up, but the doll inside is fine. Like people have said, there is a metric tonne of stiffening gel in #1’s hair, so she’ll want a day at the hair salon to wash it out. But she’s lovely for kids or collectors nonetheless, feels very sturdy, should be fun for dress-up and play or styling and display.

Good screening, not pixelated, no flaws.Hair is cut in a bob, a bit shorter at the back. It's heavily gelled to keep in place, but you can shampoo the gel off and let it air dry, and the hairstyle looks perfect.Dress is too large and hangs poorly, but that's due to it being "one size fits all" to accommodate the bigger "curvy" body type. This collection is made to be interchangeable.Mobility is good. The doll has multiple joints which feel sturdy.Accessories are ok. Metallic earrings. Standard issue pointy high heeled boots, but in black.Since this product is made for adults and to allow for customization, the head can be pulled up easily from the body. There's no hidden hooks on the neck peg to force it attached. The head doesn't bobble and stays firmly in place.

This doll is adorable. Fully articulated. Clothes are really nice. Just wish all the Barbies for older children (and the child at heart) were fully articulated.

Mattel has listened to the doll collector who loves changing the doll’s clothes and hairstyles. The first dolls are released in anticipation for the Kits which are currently available for preordering on Mattel’s site. I chose number 1 because she has a beautiful face sculpt and a classic Barbie body. I am very pleased with my choice. My single complaint is that her hair is nothing like the photo on the box. It was stiff with product and required washing, cream rinsing and a boil wash. After, the hair is blunt cut at the bottom, so I went with that look. I imagine you could try curling it, but I was satisfied with the style I created. I have changed her into a lovely dress and she looks beautiful. The price is right, she is fully articulated and if you choose to buy a kit, you will have more outfits to mix and match.

Used for body and worked perfectly.

I need to buy the rest of the series.These are the best Barbies.Love them.
