Fashionistas Doll #223 with Blonde Wavy Hair, Totally Hair-Inspired Dress & Accessories, 65th Anniversary Collectible Toy

I ordered two different Fashionista Barbies, and I love them both! It's great that they make such a variety of dolls and they are affordable! It's very different from the Barbies of my youth. Since I am used to the Barbies from the 1970s and '80s, these initially felt lightweight and inexpensively made, but I quickly got over that. After having them a while and putting them through many wardrobe changes, they are quite durable! Also, the hard plastic bodies lend themselves well to changing them in and out of tight outfits. It's so easy! The rubbery feel of the older dolls always made it very hard to pull clothes on and off. These are so easy! I purchased doll #221, with natural black hair, and doll #222, which has the petite body type. I'm very happy with both! I did see other reviews where there was a bit of trouble with doll 221's hair. I will admit it does not look like the pictures, but it does still look really great in person! It had a few straggly bits hanging down touching her shoulders, so I simply snipped off those pieces with scissors and she looks great! Her natural hair was a little flat and matted in places, but it fluffs back up fairly easily. I just gently pulled it this way and that until I liked the shape. As for doll 222, I was afraid her petite size would make it hard to find clothing that fits. I haven't encountered any issues yet. Maybe just one long dress that was a little too long for her, but I just put on really high-heeled shoes and she was okay. Both dolls are not very busty, but everything still seems to fit! Super happy with both!

One of the major things my 5 year old daughter wanted was a “gold” doll! This was perfect, good quality, and looks just as pictured. Not too expensive and functions just like any Barbie should.

This doll looks similar to me, especially with the afro. I love that. It functions well as a Barbie doll. For me, it hasn’t broken yet. Kids have played with it. It’s been knocked and disorganized. The clothes are cute, the necklace is cute. I tried it as a crown but didn’t stay. You may need to glue it!

This Barbie is beautiful. I am a collector and I am proud of this doll. She is wonderful, the value is great, durability is solid, it is an amazing buy. I can't believe the price. She is going to go up in price. I reminds me Pam Grier. They need to make a collector doll of Pam Grier. The afro is wonderful, great hair. A child will love this doll, maybe 5 or 6 years old. So they don't put anythig in their mouth. The shoes concern me. I am surprised by this doll. The dress is high quality to. She is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. A+

This has to be one of the cutest Barbies I've ever seen. Very fashion forward and my niece loved it.

She's such a doll! Very pretty!!

Beautiful, large doll. Just received large order of x-mas toys via Amazon for local children's toy drive . These dolls are beautiful and vibrant.
