The Bigger the Hair the Better
on January 7, 2026
Posted by: emchelly
from Clearwater Florida
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter is obsessed with this Barbie. The bigger the hair, the better and this doll shows up like she’s ready for a shampoo commercial. The whole series is a win: cute outfits, fabulous hair, and zero drama (unlike certain kids I know).
Honestly, it’s amazing to finally have a doll that looks like her or at least like someone at our family cookout. Representation plus great hair.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very sturdy and great quality
on January 6, 2026
Posted by: Haley
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This doll has no joint articulation, but that is clear in the box so definitely not a problem at all and doesn’t limit play for younger kids. The hair was not at all squished down from the package, which is something you find with a lot of curly haired dolls, so that was nice to see. The hair was also very soft and fluffy, without glue and not crunchy. There is a bit of fraying on the collar of the dress but even so, I’m not worried about it coming apart. My child really enjoys this doll, and it is very sturdy and has shown that it can keep up with busy dramatic play. Would definitely recommend.

Simple Barbie with beautiful skin and hair
on January 5, 2026
Posted by: MMMegzz
from Iowa
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter received this toy and assisted with the review. We both loved the doll’s dark skin and the Afro style of her hair. She is looking forward to playing with and styling it. The Barbie is a basic, simple style with minimal joints, only the shoulders and hips. The outfit and accessories are cute- striped dress, a watch and high top sneakers- her feet are flat.

Super cute, trendy Barbie
on January 4, 2026
Posted by: Stacy
from Pennsylvania
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] She is so trendy. Her hair is gorgeous. She has a cute little fit. She has some jewelry- a little cuff. And best of all she has sneakers. All modern girls should choose comfort over all. What a beautiful doll for kids to play with or adults who collect Barbies to add to their collection.

Retro is in!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved everything about this Barbie from the skin complexion, afro, attention to lip detail and the retro dress. This Barbie would be an amazing gift for any girl especially those of similar skin complexion to it.

Absolutely STUNNING Fashionista #247!
on December 31, 2025
Posted by: SpaceshipFullofBunnies
from Williamsburg VA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this Fashionista #247! I opened her as soon as I received her and wow she is stunning. Her hair is the first thing I noticed. It is so soft and so utterly adorable. Taking her out of the box was easy, except for the stays in her head. Luckily, no tears to her vinyl. She has a basic body mold with a few points of articulation, but she is so fun to play with. Her body mold is strong and perfect for any child to play with. Her dress is vibrant and soft and actually hemmed at the bottom! Her accessories are super cute and easy to remove. Her face paint is perfect. Not a scratch on her. This barbie is so well made and I am so happy to have her. I highly recommend this doll.
