Wizard of Oz: Dorothy Barbie Doll

This doll is a gift for a Wizard of Oz obsessed toddler :). The shoes (much complained about here?) are your typical Barbie shoe (and how well do those stay on?). The ones included were a red metallic finish (no, no glitter). The doll is very much in keeping with a replica other than they did not do her pigtails as in the movies---the doll has 2 braided pig tails with the braiding ending at her shoulders. She comes with Toto and basket. She does have translucent silver glittery socks and her socks in the movie are white (not being picky, just pointing out the differences). Her dress is a shiney satiny material.

The box is nice for a collector because there are no seams or tape to disrupt if you want to remove her from box or save the box, there will be nothing to compromise the shoebox style packaging.

I like that her whole body isn't hinged like other special movie Barbies (like Mary Poppins or Disney's Prince Eric). Dorothy has the joints of your typical Barbie.

Quite disappointed we cannot buy the Wizard of Oz DVD currently but we were able to TiVo it :) Happy with the doll and the discounted sale price on Amazon---I would not have paid the retail price on this as it is just a Barbie after all.

Mattel Barbie 2007 Holiday Collector Doll

Mattel Lacking in Product Presentation - Holes in Fabric

Why does Mattel insist on poking a hole through every fine fabric costume on collectible dolls with a needle and thread or plastic t-tie? Just try to remove the doll from the box without having a snag in the fabric. I struggled to remove the doll without pulling the t-ties through the fabric. It made two holes/snags in each pleat in the FRONT of the gown. The doll dress is simply too long to fit in the box without wrinkling.

After the millions of dolls they have sold, could their staff devise a way to keep the doll in the box without having to sew the dress to the box?

If the collector wishes to display the doll outside the box, they must try to carefully remove the thread - which still leaves the hole poked through the fabric in front of gown.

Why would someone pay this much money for a doll with a with holes punched through the fabric?

Madame Alexander - a premier doll manufacturer years - has for years securely fastened their dolls with a simple ribbon or rigid plastic forms. Why can't Mattel do the same?

Barbie Mariposa Magic Wings Mariposa Doll

I agree with the other reviewers that the wings do not stay on this toy. I actually just threw them out yesterday because they kept ending up in the bottom of the toy box and were all bent up. My daughter was just frustrated with this toy.Buy Barbie Mariposa Magic Wings Mariposa Doll!
