 Solid plastic legs and arms, not like previous barbies - Apr 14, 2010

This Barbie is not like previous barbies, or at least those I was familiar in years past.
It has solid plastic legs and arms. They do not bend at the knees/elbows.

Had I not bought it off of Amazon, I probably would have thought that it was a cheap
knockoff imitation. Maybe thats the market they are trying to compete with now.

 great value, cute doll - Apr 11, 2010

 great deal - Apr 10, 2010

I ordered this for just $3. It's a great deal. My daughter loves Barbie's. The deal was hard to find so I hope they make these more available. Barbie's are great to get your daughters imagination going.

 Barbie Superstar!!! - Apr 10, 2010

My daughter was very excited to get this Barbie. She has a large collection and this Barbie was very pretty and well dressed. She still plays with it and says it is one of her favorites.

 inexpensive, but you get what you pay for - Apr 10, 2010

I bought this for my niece for her birthday. She loves it, but I can tell the quality is not very good. I'm not sure if this is the norm for all Barbie dolls now or if this one is really cheaply made.

 Redo of the 1970s Superstar Barbie - Mar 18, 2010

This is the next in the series of reinventing the older popular Barbie dolls. The original striped swimsuit doll was redone earlier this year and now this is a modern reinterpretation of the 1970s Superstar doll (that mattel also rereleased as part of the 50th anniversary celebration this year): [...]

The really fun thing about this doll is that it is a companion for those moms who have the original or reissue 1977 doll. Mom can have her original and her daughter can have the 2010 version to collect and keep as well. They make nice companion pieces about how times have changed.

I feel the plastic legs do complement the original 1977 doll. And the face and hair are definitely reminiscent of the original doll. The price is right on these and I feel Mattel did a much better job with this particular reinterpretation than the did with the original black and white swimsuit doll. It does feel very 2010 but also retains the sweetness of those 1970s dolls.

 Great buy, Awesome deal! - Mar 12, 2010

I bought this for my daughter's birthday when it was only $3.00 plus free shipping with Prime and at that price I can give it nothing less than 5 stars! It's a Barbie and leaps and bounds better in quality than the cheap dollar store knock off's. Another fine addition to my daughter obsessive Barbie collection. :P

 Legs are no longer rubber - Mar 10, 2010

I just bought this Barbie from Walmart for much cheaper. The only reason I'm not completely upset over this is because of the very small price I paid for it. But Barbie no longer has the sturdy rubber legs like she normally had. Her legs are plastic. A plastic that is a little thicker than those cheap dollar store dolls but still plastic.

Im disappointed in Barbie for the fact that this is the second Barbie I have bought in the past week and found it to have plastic legs. I guess they are cutting back on costs.
