Barbie Collector Pivotal Mod Kelly Giftset Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I'll say it again...this is the old style face of Barbies in the 1960-70s Mod era...the face is correct. They even have those old-style rooted eyelashes. Could have done without a pink chair...would have liked it more in that bright green she's wearing. The hair, the elephants bells--hey now.

The pivotal mod series are kind of a mixed bag. On the one hand, they come with great mid century modern chairs that are very cool and useful as display pieces. But the dolls themselves have a very unique and distinct look that can be off-putting. The dolls' heads are very narrow and almost horse-ish in appearance. It's like looking at a monitor with the wrong resolution. The image on Amazon doesn't really show how odd the faces look.

The dolls do have great styling, though the clothes are of average quality, thin satin like material. I would have liked better quality clothing for a collector doll. The pivotal nature is a bonus it can be quiet fun to pose them in different ways. And in keeping with the era, they have real eyelashes.

I don't love the series and I really do like mid century design and the mod movement. Especially on this doll, which has those perfectly round curls on her head, her face appears way too stretched out oval-wise. I thought I would love them more than I did when I got them.
