Most children will love this doll. They will love her dress, the elegant style of her hair, her jewelry, and the way the gown flows as she "walks."
I am a collector however, and I, like most of the other reviewers, wonder who came up with the "big head" for Barbie idea. It reminds me of several other design, recipe changes, or campaign flaws that nearly (or did) put other companies out of business -- but this faux pas will not cripple Mattel, and Barbie will continue to be the doll of choice for many generations to come.
I believe the concept was to create Barbie to be more proportionally correct. When I looked through all of the boxes trying to find one that I liked, I discovered they all had very strange eyes. I was not sure what caused it, but the more I studied the array spread out before me, the more I realized her head was big -- too big. Was she trying to generate a new sensation? I don't know -- I simply do not like this style.
Without a doubt, the gown (either in special issue maroon or original green) is gorgeous, but her eyes appear to be painted by an amateur. Since I've attempted to repaint dolls, I know just how difficult it is to get the eyes right -- but why should a doll manufacturer have the same kind of problems that I, completely inept at the art, have?
However, there is no need to worry about Barbie's future. Mattel's gorgeous dolls continue in their 2004 and 2005 lines, and these will be the treat that each Barbie lover has come to depend upon.
