Mattel - Barbie Lunar New Year Doll

In my second childhood I really wanted a Barbie, but couldn't find one that "resonated" until I saw this one. Stunning gown; Lunar New Year's a big deal around here so I got this one. The price was fair. I was disappointed that the joints aren't articulated but that's okay. It would make easier to put clothing on and off though. I've bought inexpensive outfits from Amazon to change according to the season or on the whim. Hers? Mine? LOL I dunno , but it's fun. She has a place of honor in the living room and always gets remarks by visitors :)

衣装も豪華！アジア系美人のお顔、表情が素敵です！

Sehr schöne Barbie.

Kağıt pakete hiçbir koruma olmadan koyulup gönderilmiş koleksiyonluk bir ürün bu ve kutusu yırtık şekilde geldi asla düzelmiyor büyük hayal kırıklığına uğradım uzun süre beklemiştim birde. Paketleme konusunda hiç memnun kalmadım.

I would have thought over buying her for much longer at £60 but I would have definitely got her one day. I was lucky enough to grab the "used-like new" doll. Her box had a tear on it so I saved about 40% thanks Amazon! If you love the Barbie Mari face sculpt, higher quality model muse style dolls, seasonal collectable dolls, I would get this doll. I love the Mari sculpt, Goddess sculpt and Karl Largerfeld sculpt the most. I always wanted the Barbie Chiffon Ball Gown Doll and Chriselle Lim Barbie which cost more and also have the most beautiful Mari faces and this dolls face is up there with those beauties. I don't entirely get the negative feedback for this doll. She isn't super cheap but she is clearly better quality than any fashionista/lower quality Barbie doll and I prefer quality over quantity. It's always a possibility that later on when she's unavailable, people will be selling her for much more elsewhere. Pros: beautiful face, long thick hair with middle part, model muse body with manicure, pretty cheongsam, love her pointed d'orsay court heels and her bangle is a gold metal finish not gold plastic. She redresses really well too with red, black, gold etc. Cons: No pedicure, if you prefer articulation (my dolls are display only- don't need a mtm body for that)
