Barbie Rewind Doll, '80s Edition Schoolin' Around Outfit with Varsity Jacket, Acid-Washed Skirt and Rad Accessories

I’m not even going to put her in a made to move body as originally planned. Her snap click knees work really well.In fact, they did such an amazing job with the packaging, she is officially staying in the box!!That may not sound like a big deal, but I am an out of box collector. I have exactly 3 dolls that have remained in their box. The box has to tell a story, otherwise what’s the point?She has a dreamy soft coloring about her that really is well done. Mattel really impressed me with this doll. The box is designed as a VHS tape in its package. Her Stand is a “cassette” tape. Her outfit is fabric. That sounds strange but you know how they’ve mostly been doing this recycled plastic material lately with printer on colors. Just cheap, rough material. They really did everything like a doll from the 80s.I’m too impressed with the little details of this doll… These weren’t big concepts back then. It’s nice to see them again.

The Barbie Rewind series has become one of my favorite of the most recent Barbie lines, I was really amazed with the first wave of dolls from this line, and I'm really happy to discover the second wave picks up exactly where the first wave left off, carrying the theme even further, the packaging and big illustration in the sleeve is really eye catching and a brilliant idea, then the doll reveal inside is nothing short of what the lovely illustration is promising, the design and aesthetics of the dolls have a great balance between being nostalgic and feeling very current at the same time, so both a young or more seasoned demographic can enjoy this gift, the quality is the best of what Mattel has offered in the play-line the last few years, the fashion pieces feel quite high quality in comparison to 95% of what you'll find on the toy shelves, and the overall design is very well thought out and pleasing to the eye. I wish all Barbie Mattel products were this good in both design and quality!

The doll is really amazing, but please note that the box arrived with crimpled corners. I don't know if this was a fault of the store or more likely of the shipment service, thus I gave 5 stars... Luckily it's not a big matter for me since I'm interested in the interior!, but I know for some collectors it would be a pain, so please consider it.

Okay, I don't have any complaints about this doll. She really is awesome. I will say my favorite standouts are her pink letterman jacket, her long red hair and green eyes, the print on her leg warmers, and her glasses. This doll has some of the same material as the "Movie-Night" doll, which I also love. There are eight dolls in 80's Rewind series, and I have three. For me, flashbacks include movie nights, letterman jackets, leggings, Friday night football games, working out, 501 jeans, shopping at the mall, concerts, and hanging out at the beach. I think Mattel did a great job capturing life in the 80's for so many girls. So nostalgic and fun!

Great doll, with articulated elbows and arms and bendable knees. Her outfit is very good quality, all pieces are removable. She comes with some school accessories (80s edition and backpack). She is also looking great in Barbie deluxe dress.

Beautiful doll

Beautiful doll. Fast shipping

Nice doll, very cute features and red hair. Her legs can be bent at the knee (clickable), and are somewhat soft as opposed to other Barbie dolls which have hard plastic legs. Some shoes don't fit well on her feet though. It seems to kind of hit or miss as far as which shoes will work.
