Toys and Games Reviews of Barbie In A Christmas Carol - Red Dress
Customer Review: nice - but cheap
Summary: 3 Stars
First - check the description carefully: this doll does not come with the cat. The image in the Amazon description is for a different version of this doll.
We have both this version and the version with the cat and the doll is the same in both. The cat is a hollow soft vinyl and not as detailed or nice as some of the barbie pets. The quality feels like what you'd get as a 'prize' out of a 50c gumball machine.
The doll's dress is especially cheap - much more so than most Barbie dolls. The 'velvet' is stiff and feels more like flocked paper than actual fabric (I don't think it is fabric - it's the material you see as bows on 99c christmas decorations). One of our dolls was stitched so poorly that the back seems didn't match up and there's a gap in the velcro as a result. Clearly, quality control wasn't as important with this doll because the dress has other mismatched, bunched, or poorly/quickly constructed areas.
The doll's sculpting and hair also feel very cheap - I would have thought this was a cheap knock off import from China rather than an actual barbie doll. The hair is light and not very pretty, the vinyl of the face is rather thin, the doll doesn't look like the character in the movie, and the top of the dress is fraying.
I have a 6 year old and she can tell the difference in quality. Despite the love of the video, she doesn't have much interest in playing with this. She instead pulls out the 2008 Christmas Barbie and plays with that instead. It's unfortunate this came out so poor.
