Love the idea but needs more design

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love how boys and girls alike can see Billie Jean King as a role model and have this Barbie doll which can also be played with as an action figure. The first problem we had is with the packaging. As you can see in the attached photo, someone thought it was a good idea to have plastic ties going into the head of the doll so that when you cut it from the plastic box, the plastic ties are still sticking out the back of her head and they are sharp! Second, the tennis ball is too small and there is no where to put it. Her hand could have formed a round bowl shape so that the ball could sit better in her hand or there could have been pockets in her outfit so that you could put the ball in the pocket or the racquet and ball could have some Velcro so that it could stick onto the racquet. Another thing is that she only has one wristband on her right wrist, but she should have one on each wrist. Lastly, it would be nice if her shoes were removable so that she could wear different types of sneakers. Even though it is difficult to play with (always losing the tiny tennis ball), it is a pretty good replica.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Billie Jean King Toy Review
on March 29, 2020

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Billie Jean King Barbie doll is amazing! Her flexibility is great. Her knees bend and can be posed in many sporty positions. The detail work put into this doll is exquisite. Billie Jean’s tennis racket looks like a real Wilson racket! The info on the back of the toy box was informative and inspiring to all girls/women.
I had to explain a bit about what “equality” is to my 7 year old, but it was a good teaching opportunity.
My daughters only criticism is the tennis ball. It is a tiny accessory and she wished there was some way to secure the ball so it didn’t get lost.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got to review this toy this month and I'm very lucky I was able to. It was something to talk about with my kids. The history behind her.

Very Inspiring to my daughter

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this about a week after requesting it. I told my daughter that she received mailand hasn't been able to put it down since. I am glad they are coming out with dolls that aren't so focused on shapes of the bodies and sexiness's. Especially. When the toys they are geared towards are young impressionable girls.

Great doll!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My twin 5 (almost 6) year old girls love this doll. I like that I was able to discuss the historical significance of Billie Jean King with them before opening the box. They liked to play with the tennis racket and ball and enjoyed the fact that the legs of the doll are movable. I would say my only criticism is that the ball is too light and tiny. They would get frustrated because they would lose it easily and have to search for it.
I would recommend this to a friend!
