Barbie Fashionistas Doll 105

Since these dolls' reviews have been combined, I'm writing a twofer.#105: I've been wanting to add this Barbie to my collection for awhile now and I'm absolutely thrilled with her! Her black tightly waved hair is really cute; a small section is on the right is held back with an elastic. I like the gold hoop earrings but I wish they were interchangeable (sorry, I will never stop complaining about this), and I think it's pretty awesome that she's breaking rules and rocking a bold horizontal-stripe print dress, which looks amazing. Kudos to this Barbie's design team. 5/5#110: What I love most about this tall-size Barbie is her unique face and abundance of gorgeous, evenly distributed hair. The brand photos make it look like she has black hair with a few green highlights; my doll's hair is black around the hairline but mostly a pretty hue of pale jade green. I like her sporty, futuristic dress and her shoes, which are a nice addition to the low-heeled foot shape that many tall Barbies have. The only complaint I have is that her hoop earrings aren't easy to change out. You have to use pliers to get them out in one piece and the metallic finish flakes off easily when you do.

It's been a tough few years for Barbie collectors. The collector line is low quality (overwhelmingly) and unimaginative. The prices have gone way up, while quality control and the actual fabrics, plastics and face screenings have been consistently flat out bad. I've felt like they took all of the resources they had for the collector line and gave it to the play line.My bitterness has been slightly soothed by this FANTASTIC doll. This is not a collector line doll, but she is exponentially more fabulous, stylist and flat out amazing when compared to much more expensive dolls. I love this doll and recommend buying one if you have a chance as you will not be disappointed! I really hope that Mattel will come out with a Made to Move curvy bodied doll soon with the same complexion tone so that I can swap her head to a more posable body.

This barbie is so gorgeous. She has the cutest hoop earrings, adorable curvy body, great face sculpt and the only awesome big hair. I had bought my daughter the first tall Afro hair barbie in the previous fashionista collection just because her big beautiful hair (at least it was considered big at the time). This new fashionista doll hair is even BIGGER and more power packing. The hair is also black this time instead of the previous barbie's hair that was only a dark brown. I took a picture of both Afro haired barbies just to show the comparison. As you can see this newer fashionista is absolutely vivacious because that hair is wilder than life. I am living for this doll. Love these Afro barbie dolls so much and if Mattel tries to make a even bigger haired doll in the future I will buy that one too. These dolls are too cute :)

My daughter was in love with this doll from the moment it arrived with her amazing afro hair and earring not to mention the great dress. She also comes with a booty which is awesome no more stick thin barbie. However, that does me she also has the problem that so many women have that standard clothes just don't fit those curves. So she is realistic in struggling to find clothes. She needs her own wardrobe and she will rock it with style. I love the diversity of this doll. I will be looking for more dolls of this type and also some clothes to fit

The Barbie Fashionista Doll #105 is adorable. Her makeup is attractive, and you can style the soft hair. I love that her hips are curvier than the traditional Barbie and because of this I have had a slight problem with clothes fitting her well. I have paired her nicely with my Ken doll making them a fabulous married couple.

Would recommend for those wishing to acquire a doll but do not want to break the bank on a gift for your 19 y/o sister's, new 32 y/o boyfriend's, step daughter's, 5th birthday. A nice Doll, excellent for a last-minute gift. The recipient, a confused, shy, tadpole of a girl, seemed to genuinely enjoy the gift despite it being given by a complete stranger and handed to her by an overzealous middle aged women (also stranger) insisting she be called, "grandma." A nice Barbie, she appreciated the doll's realistic body proportions and contemporary style. All in all. I give it 4 out of 5 stars and wish Kelsi made better life choices.

I absolutely love this doll! It was a Christmas gift for my daughter and she loves it! I love the shape of the doll fell in love with her hair is soft and it hasn't matted up yet like other dolls might have by now. I love how she has curves. She's just beautiful. I love the fact that my daughter can play with a doll of color who resembles actual women of color from the hair to the hips to the lips.

I recently re-started to collect Barbie Dolls again, now that I'm an adult. I love her so much! I think she is the most natural looking Barbie that I have ever owned. Her skin is a healthy tan and covered in freckles. I thought that the freckles would stop after her clothes lines, but they cover the dolls entire body. My only complaints are that her dress is very loose for her figure and the description says she is tall, but she is the original body type. Also the corner of her package was opened, but she wasn't damaged.
