At least you're someone with a voice, good fashion sense and close enough to designers to say everything we want to say but they seem to ignore. I know that Designers aren't the ones to blame most of the time, specially because it's mattel's poor choices on how Barbie is going down the road, but, I truly hope they bring back quality and not just for silkstone dolls, for all of the dolls, from the cheapest to the most expensive ones. we're seeing in playline dolls terrible face screening, cheap clothes, horrible boxes.... things are just in a way that we don't see a way back. if things stay the same, her 70th anniversary will be a "in memoriam." thanks for putting out there everything we want to say.

This doll just didn't grab me. I think if I do get her, she'll be redressed. I like pink well enough, but head-to-toe pink usually isn't my vibe. I also think this hairstyle is overused for Silkstones, so I'd probably restyle the hair as well. This doll is cute, but she's more of a 'wait for a sale' type of doll for me.

You know what, I'll come forward-- When I was in high school, I had hot pink, platformed, velveteen over the knee boots. So this doll, no fault to her own, brings back horrible memories!! Lmao Confessional aside, I'm in agreement with you. All the pieces are nice on their own, but not together. They seem more at odds than harmonious. Besides, when I think of luxury Barbie, I don't actually think Pink- I associate Pink with playline. When I think vintage, and luxury, I think blue! Her powder blue fit and flares (Movie Date and Suburban Shopper), her frothy blue peignoirs, and delicate blue nylon lingerie... Those speak luxury and nostalgia to me more than hot pink frosted hair ever could. (Though I might just be a *bit* opinionated ;P)

This doll is so stunning she is so pink!!!

Werrrrk feel the glamour in PINK awesome doll she’s a super Queen My first doll I bought recently wat Rainbow Bright Fashionista 90 fierce Rainbow 🌈 dress

I got this doll because well, I needed to have her just to say I did and she was on sale. I really This they could have given her a nice belt with a silver buckle just to break all that pink up and after all, she is a Silkstone. I like the brooch but I feel Mattel need to add a magnet to this kind of jewelry. I took the “leggings” off my doll added black hose and pink pumps just to break all that pink up. I also gave my doll a black ribbon bow on her hair to make her look more realistic. Thanks for the review, and especially the definitions of all the terminology. She really is a pretty doll once you separate all that pink.

I wasn't too swayed into the doll when photos were released and I agree with your review! I like the details of the doll and overall the pink look is charming! I would maybe get it one day. I'm waiting for a Barbie that is a must for me! So far it's been Hello Kitty Barbie! I do enjoy Puma black Barbie. She's a cute doll in pink!

Really makes you appreciate the quality and amazing details that go into Integrity Toys fashions, jewelry, shoes and accessories. I think this doll has sold well because of the 60th Anniversary aspect of this release but I would have liked something a little more interesting than a head to toe pink doll. Here’s hoping there’s better releases ahead for Barbies 60th year! Thanks for another great review!

Initially I was excited for Barbie's 60th but the lack of effort on Mattel's part put an end to my excitement. The Japenese exclusives are much nicer, I don't understand what they are playing at TBH. The only thing I like about this doll is the brooch. Great review!

She is amazing,the construction of the purse,the skirt,the fabrics..I know we as collectors always want more and more details,but I study fashion design and believe me; these pieces are so difficult to be made and crafted. The workers at mattel are superheros!! So we should consider that as well....

@SureshNYC

5 жыл бұрын

These pieces are not that hard to make. Mattel owns multiple factories and pioneered this type of work back in the day. If you look back at Barbie's history through the years, she had much more detail and intricacy in her clothes and accessories. Ruth Handler would die if she saw this. I studied fashion design, too, and worked in luxury fashion for years. This is not fashion. And this is a disgrace to the Barbie heritage, especially the Silkstone collection. That's why I'm being picky.

I passed on this one mainly because it was just too monochrome. I had the same issue with the Chic City Suit in 2017, although in that instance, the blue outfit was less garish. I'm not sure why, but Proudly Pink makes me think more of playline Barbies than collector Barbies. Possibly, it's the excessive amount of pink - I'm always referring to the Barbie section in stores as the "Pepto-Bismol aisle" because of all the pink, pink, pink. And as for the velcro...! In a collector doll? That's really disappointing. Mattel takes (yet another) step down the quality ladder. I'm definitely looking forward to the restyling. I know you'll do a fantastic job!
