I just found her at Barnes and noble for $60 and I will admit I wasn’t a fan of her photos or even the online reviews, but seeing her in person and unboxing her I have grown to love her, I was hoping for Brooklyn at first, but then discovered the silkstone coming out and decided on getting that one but I do wish we had gotten more jewelry for the price point I hate the stand I miss the old stands from the early 2000’s collector dolls, her dress is honestly better quality than the 2024 birthday wishes Barbie which I also picked up
I got mine and love it! Yes, they are getting cheaper quality and not elaborate like years ago. Disney is doing the same thing. And yes, they could have done better. I'd pay more for better but then people complain it's too much money. I think this is the way of the future with these dolls and Disney limited dolls with less detail and quality. Ten years ago dolls were so much better.
I haven’t received mine yet. Mine is a preorder from Walmart and she isn’t shipping til early April 😕. From the videos I’ve seen it looks like they did a good job with her. A lot better than most of the “collector” dolls I’ve seen lately. This one looks really nice.
Thank you for your honest opinion. I also think Mattel could have done better with the material of the dress. But she is really a beautiful doll. I live in Germany and paid 85€ via amazon. 🙈
Shes just ₹23 in india. Probably cuz india is near indonesia, shes just released two weeks ago in my country and here in india the prices for her are between 23-25, im surprised she costs 60$ in the us.
Girlfriend purchased 65th anniversary brown hair barbie paid $99.99 from her local toyworld store here in Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺 loves her wants to get the blonde hair barbie
Since 2010 Matter chose the cheap path for Barbie and as a collector myself, it only gets worse. Pricy dolls with less quality each year, it is what it is. There is a doll called Defa Lucy wich has more quality than a Black Label Barbie. Playline Rainbow High have more quality than a 60 dolar Barbie.... and they are 35/40. Once collectors keep suppporting Barbie as it is, things won't change. And pprobably it will keeps getting worse.
Your'e right! We should start bojcotting these new low quality dolls in protest. It's like Mattel thinks we adult collectors are kind of dumb nowadays ( I still like the design of this doll, but no, not interested in buying any more) 🥺 Personally I only buy 90s and 00s Barbies and I have still many left to aqcuire (they are the best) 🙂
Truly a beautiful doll.

I ordered on Mattel (Wednesday) and got mine on Friday.
Mattel has gone so cheap lately. 😮 The 65th birthday for Barbie should have been like the classics one. The 90s look and quality.
Food is already sky high so a bit lower price is perfect for me.❤

Shes very pretty - unfortunately very cheaply made and over priced
