Barbie Look Collector Doll - Pool Chic

This is a glamorous and chic styled Barbie. The fashion is pool chic but looks like an evening gown as well. She has dark brown hair that ends mid-back due to the large curls at the back. The curls are held in place with stiffening product which would probably brush out. Her hair is parted on the side with the wings on both sides twisted into a modified ponytail at the back of her head. The front of her hair is pulled into a low ponytail at the back of her head. She has multi-tone brown eyes, dark eyebrows as well as painted on eyelashes. Her eyeshadow is metallic gold. Her lips are a frosted nude and her blush is neutral and natural looking. Her mouth is closed and she looks thoughtful. Her face mold is known as Karl. The body of this doll light brown and is articulated – which now includes knee articulation that is more in line with the Made to Move Barbie. That means she has a less elegant looking knee articulation than older “The Look” dolls. As this doll's fashion does not show the knee, the new style articulation is not as noticeable as with dolls which short skirts. This body style also has a larger more defined calf than the previous dolls. She has articulation at the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips and knees. She has slim ankles and feet made for high heels. Her hands have mostly divided fingers with only two (middle and ring fingers) on each hand molded together and with a mauve nail polish on fingers and toes. Her clothing is quite chic for spending the day poolside. She has gold hoop earrings that are easily removable. Her dress is two layers of aqua attached to a gold plastic halter. I wish that the halter had been made of fabric as the plastic gives the dress a less expensive look. Both layers of the dress are aqua and the dress is rather loose rather than form-fitting and pools at her feet in an almost train-like effect. The underskirt is a soft and silky nylon while the over skirt is a sheer matte organza-type fabric. The dress has a side slit on the left hand side that reaches just above the knee. The dress attaches at the back via the neck halter and a snap at the waist. She has gold peep toe stiletto heels and a gold cuff bracelet. Other items included are a stand, a cell phone, a metallic gold purses that opens and closes, a lipstick case in gold metallic, and a container of blush that also opens and closes. The blush is merely a stick-on label and the container does not have a mirror. This accessory could have been improved. The chair I use for photographs is not included – it is something I have had for a while. I've recently started adding newer Barbies to the collection I have had for years. I used to customize dolls for my daughters and am now back buying various Barbie dolls for my grandchildren. The dolls today are so diverse in their nature and look, I probably won't be doing as much customization as I did in the past. I'm really pleased that Mattel has included snaps on this doll's clothing. It is the type of quality I expect for a special doll (versus a child's play version.) My last doll in this line had hook and loop closures and it was out of synch with the higher quality fashion.

I find this gorgeous doll to be more than just "Pool Chic", she seems more like an exotic princess from some far away land. She actually reminds me of Princess Jasmine from Aladdin. This is exactly the type of doll I would have loved to own growing up. To begin with, her face is absolutely stunning with beautiful brown eyes. Her hair is a lush, dark brown color which comes in curled style held together with gel. The gel can be washed out to make the hair nice and soft. Her dress is fit for royalty in a lovely turquoise color adorned with a gold necklace accessory attached to the top of the dress. This beauty also comes with gold hoop earrings, a gold bracelet, and gold shoes that add style to her graceful look. Her other accessories include a gold purse, a gold cellphone, a lipstick, and a little makeup case. The doll is jointed at the shoulders, elbows, wrists, and knees. Personally, I think this was a great buy. Whether she is going to the pool or to a fancy dinner, this Barbie is definitely stylish.

I got this as a gift for my niece. She is a beautiful doll. It's great she's articulated and she is super pretty with soft features and gorgeous hair. Although its a bit gluey once you brush it it's fine. Her dress and accessories are very cool. I would recommend this doll highly. She comes with a stand also. I was also very impressed to get her so quickly. A week earlier.

From an adult collector's perspective: She is one of my favorites with this New Look line. One, her dress style and color; 2, her skintone and the gold details and accessories; 3, obviously she's articulated. Now the criticisms: her doll stand does not accommodate the doll's height! I have the waist holder thing pushed all the way to top of the stand and her knees still remain bent. Next, not a big fan of the face, it's pretty, but it's too playline compared to the style of the fashion?! I really miss the rooted eyelashes.

This doll is immaculate. He ha the most precious face! It has been used on other collector dolls recently such as Andy Warhol and The Look Sweet Pea but this one has to be my favorite!! Her hair is the best quality I've ever had on a Barbie that didn't have a reroot. Her outfit is made of top of the line fabric and her accessories are amazing (gold iPhone) she deserves 10 stars instead of 5 #perfect

Beautiful doll, but what a big disappointment to find an ugly seam running down her leg from knee to ankle. $5 "pink box" Barbie dolls found at Dollar General don't have these ugly seams running down their legs, so WHY isn't quality control better with these so-called "collector" dolls? Sadly returning this one.

Gorgeous with great details and accessories. Articulated at each joint, beautiful skin tone, beautiful hair, shoes, everything. I just can’t say enough about this doll. She’s my favorite purchase.

I’m very happy with this doll. I keep her on my bedroom, where I can see. Is my first Barbie an let me tell you, I’m not a child anymore, but, I could not have one before and ... well, never is late.😊

El producto llego bien, la muñeca está muy bonita.

Stunning doll. Love her gorgeous aqua blue gown, dark eyes and beautifully styled hair. She comes with a gold clutch, a compact and a lipstick (all of which open) and a cell phone. She is also articulated, so can sit as well as stand. Great value!

Tout est beau dans cette poupée: le visage, les longs cheveux bruns, la robe et sa peau un peu ambrée. Le fait qu'elle soit articulée la rend plus riche en possibilités de gestes et positions mais aussi plus fragile. A offrir à un enfant soigneux.

Considering the price point, I was very disappointed with this doll. So pricey, yet the quality is so cheap. Build quality is not good, finishing on the doll, not properly done and only the dress was its saving grace. Fashionista line has much better things to offer than this. However, the doll's face is gorgeous and very detailed, so that's its saving grace.
