I like this Barbie mainly because she has a Steffie face sculpt and really light skin tone with brunette hair, but because of the awkward way the legs are done (Model Muse style), she is really hard to get to stand up straight.
I wanted more of a cherry red colour on the lips and nails, but the doll is more burgundy than anything. I guess I just don't know the difference between Garnet and Ruby very well >.<
The hair is really cute with it's ringlets.
The jewelry is nicely done, but not removable.
The dress is skin tight and covered in glitter (which comes off rather easily- just brush it with your fingers and you'll have glitter everywhere).
The dog is uneven on the bottom, so it doesn't sit up straight at all.
Mattel did do a good thing by putting a sticky substance on the bottom of the feet (or top of the shoes, whichever you prefer) and the and that holds the dog's "leash" (a piece of satin ribbon).
Definitely not for a little girl, unless she likes to keep her dolls in their boxes. The box is made to be displayed, so leaving the doll in the box might not be a bad idea.
If you are buying this doll to use for an OOAK or just to re-dress, you might want to look at other Model Muse dolls instead (mainly because of the issue with the glitter on the dress and the way her legs are 'trained' to cross at the ankles- you can't use a straddle stand with this doll).
If you are a collector who does not de-box and you like the Model Muse dolls, this doll is for you.
If you are looking for a Steffie face, light skin tone, brunette hair and dark makeup to dress in a goth/gothic style, then this is the doll for you. :3
I hope you find this helpful.
