I think her makeup is very attractive. One of the other reviewers mentioned that she had unattractive, crooked eyes. Mine doesn't look that way--she's really stunning! The copper fabric is very elegant and blends beautifully with home decor when she is displayed.
Usually when I go to purchase a doll in a store, I meticulously search through them to find the "perfect doll"--a combination of flawless features, straight, unrumpled clothing, and a perfect to near perfect box. Sometimes I have to go to 3 or 4 stores to find one like that. But I found this one on the first try, and just about every other one I've seen looks just as good as mine. She really is a good looking Princess!

I am just getting started with my collection of the Princess Dolls by Barbie.I just purchased this doll today and she is gorgeous. I too like the reviewer before me posted, enjoy looking through all the dolls before making a final decision. This doll is very pretty for the fact her outfit is classy and so is her look. Her hair is pinned up very nicely and I just enjoy all ethnic barbies. Well worth the $$.

This is one of the best dolls in this excellent series. With her upswept hair, vampish eye makeup and draped gown she is one of the most glamorous Barbies to come out recently. The back of the box shows a prototype doll using a standard Barbie head sculpt, fortunately this doll was actually produced using the Lea/Kayla head sculpt which is clearly a better choice. The only fault I can find with this doll is the fact that her dress is sewn on so if you plan on redressing her you will have to carefully undo the stitching, this doesn't ruin the dress but is a nuicance considering that it could have easily been made with snaps. Other than my one objection, and if you plan on leaving her as is this won't be a problem, I do think this doll is an outstanding value.Honest reviews on Dolls of the World The Princess Collection: Princess of Ancient
While I can somewhat understand the disappointment of the other reviewer who was angry because the outfit was not removable from the doll, please remember that this is meant to be a collectible, not a play doll. I'm sure Mattel meant the outfit remain on the doll, since they apparently went to some trouble to create hair styles and makeup unique to each of the Princess dolls.So far, Greece has been my favorite she has exquisite coloring and while simple, her outfit is very pretty and displays very nicely alongside the other dolls in the series. Thankfully, she doesn't have the "floating" issue with her stand (feet not touching the base), so she's fairly secure on the included straddle stand.
Overally, this is a very nice addition to the series and if you purchase it as a doll to display and enjoy as is, then you won't be disappointed. If you're looking for a play doll to redress, then it would be easier to make a Grecian outfit (there are many patterns out there) rather than tear this one apart.

I bought the Dolls of the World Princess of Ancient Greece last week, and I have to say that it is quite nice. That being said, I have 2 issues with the clothes on this Barbie. As a Classics major, I have a little more knowledge than most about Ancient Greek dress. Her dress is slightly incorrect; her waist should not be tapered. It should be the same width as the rest of the dress then tied at the middle with a cord. Also, why is she wearing pumps!? She should have gold sandals or something. Otherwise, the fabric is lovely, the jewelery is nice, her hairstyle looks correct for ther period and she is very authentic.
