Toys and Games Reviews of Barbie Collector Harley Davidson DollCustomer Review: Nice collector doll for in box display or customizing Summary: 4 Stars
Everyone who looks at this doll immediately says to me "Pink chaps?" as if chaps probably don't come in all colors anyway and they never expected to see a Barbie in pink. However I have to admit the pink chaps kind of distract from the rest of the doll. Her makeup is a perfect biker look with smoky eyes and neutral lips. Her blonde hair is in a low ponytail with tendrils that come down both sides of her head and she has black nail polish.
She is good for display in or out of the box, but if you leave her in the box, you'll miss the tattoo on her back, and the fact that the leather top really laces up in the back. I removed the pants & chaps, added fishnet stockings, clunky black heels and a knee-length black skirt with the leather top still in place for a totally different look. She kind of reminds me or Eric Northman's assistant Pam on True Blood. I put some sunglasses on her so she won't go poof if she is exposed to the sun. :-)
The doll's right ear is triple pierced, with two small earrings in her upper ear along with the large loop. The metal is reacting with the vinyl and is causing what collectors call "green ear." This is somewhat common in dolls that have metal jewelry, and doesn't happen to every doll. Your mileage will vary from doll to doll, depending on any number of outside factors. If you take her out of the box, you may want to consider removing the top two earrings and replacing them with something else, or just leave her with her two hoops. The single hoop on the left ear shows no discoloration, so as a longtime collector I would have to say the two smaller studs are likely the culprit for the discoloration. The way her hair is placed, I don't know why they even included these studs, since you can hardly see them anyway. (I'm adding a picture of her discolored ear, but it is difficult to see in a photograph, even with a good camera not using a flash.)
Overall for play or display this would be a 5 star doll if not for the ear discoloration. It is high quality as the other Harley Barbies have been over the years, and I have certainly enjoyed playing with her and making her over. 4 stars for the lace up top, tattoo, and overall fantastic doll.
