Fan of the doll except the makeup
on January 19, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty barbie in general. Very nice and soft hair. Pretty dress. Comes with a gold watch and tennis shoes. However, I'm not particularly fond of her makeup and that's my only major critique. I don't feel that bright red lipstick on a very dark skinned doll (she is much darker in real life than the picture) gives the vibe they want to be giving, if you catch my drift. Maybe a pleasant pink or purple next time? Or a neutral color would be nice too. Overall I like the doll, but not a fan of the lipstick.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved this doll. It is being placed in a collection area for a moment because it was for an angel baby. I love the texture of her hair and bright clothes. I wish we had more dolls like this growing up in the 90s.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A very beautiful doll, her clothes are fashionable and well made. I really love her soft, realistic hair too. She was also the perfect size as a stocking stuffer for my daughter to enjoy on Christmas day.

Good but could be better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Barbie style is great. I love the Afro and the multicultural inclusiveness. However, my child was not to happy about the knees not bending. And the dual texture of the legs. It makes it seem of lower quality.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Natural Hair Style and Trendy dress
on January 16, 2026

from Buffalo, NY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 8 year old daughter loves this doll. This fashionista has a gorgeous natural Afro, diverse body type, beautiful skin tone, and well done make up colors. Her preppy pink and green dress and sneakers are bright and vibrant. She is flat footed. She definitely is free spirited rocking a natural hair style, which is my daughter’s favorite part. She is a bit stiff, slight difficulty bending arms and legs, but my daughter had no problems changing her clothes.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My granddaughters played with the Barbie on Sunday. They loved her hair!!! And the ease in moving her arm and legs. She is very dark and beautiful, and the loved dressing and brushing her hair. I explained how her hair is really a retro look and showed them pictures of such

Very pretty Afro hair barbie

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Barbie was very cute! Love the hair. It felt authentic. My daughter instantly loved it! The downside was there’s no mini pick or anything to keep the hair clean after playing. Within days, the hair was matted and looked bad. My kiddo is still playing with her but always mentions her hair
I would recommend this to a friend!
