My daughter asked for a "brown barbie" for her birthday. I like that she wants to play with barbies with different cultures, and I hope no no reads this finds her term of "brown" to be offensive, it isn't. My daughter is 4!! :P
Anyway, the price was great for this doll and she came with fun clothes (a bit sexy, but not bad) and shoes. The doll is pretty, and they obviously tried to make the doll look more "ethnic." However, it is a barbie doll and really....it looks like a Caucasian barbie that happens to be darker...(some of the facial features were altered, but very minorly)
Although my daughter loves her and thinks she is so pretty, I have to say that this is probably the cheapest barbie I have ever purchased. Her entire body is hard plastic. Usually a barbie's legs are rubber, these are not...THEY ARE HARD PLASTIC. Looking at it, you wouldn't think differently, but to hold it....she feels cheaply made. You can't make her knees bend cuz of the hard plastic.
Also the hair does not look good. It's uneven and not so pretty and wavy like this picture shows. I considered trimming it myself, but haven't yet. It just looks like this doll was mass produced quickly.
