When I saw this doll and the 1-2 month wait, I decided to watch and wait. I am so glad I did. The first batch arrived for sale in the UK by 20 May 2019. The next batch isn't due until late June!First, the biggest surprise, this doll (Fashionistas #123) was so tall she was literally bursting out of the top and bottom of the box! I know that will disappoint collectors who like to/must leave their dolls in their perfectly intact box shrines. A broken box devalues the doll, so beware if you're one of those. I'm not, so didn't care.The doll is beautiful, no doubt. But, per usual, you just cannot trust that the actual face and the marketing version in the pictures match up. Her face sculpt is dated 2016,

Barbie Dolls have been with us since 1959 and are a cultural icon as well as a well-known and much-loved toy. From the original Barbie, which was unchanged for several years,recent years have seen the range of Barbies expand to include different ethnic groups and embrace diversity. This Doll is part of the "Fashionista" range ,which includes 9 different skin tones and 6 body types as part of the diversity ethos and, as the name suggests , the dolls come in a variety of fashionable outfits.This particular Doll comes with eye-catching braided hair, a motorcycle themed T shirt and faux leather skirt,

This is one of a few Barbies that my daughter, age 8, has. Her favourites are the ones that look most like her, and when she has braids in she does look like this doll. Indeed we love the Fashionistas range because it offers diversity in a traditionally non-diverse Barbie universe (my daughter is mixed race) and at an affordable price.The doll also comes with some good clothes. She has a shiny, smooth red skirt, a "girl power" vest top with a motorbike on it, a gold-coloured bracelet and some purple flat-soled boots. It is a simple outfit that I think works well. The doll's pose with the bent arm on one side can't be changed as the arms and legs don't have joints at the elbows and knees.Overall then we love this doll because it looks like my daughter,

Stunning Barbie Fashionista.Beautifully presented. She adorns gloriously long, golden brown, braided hair. This is just wow, I love it!Black top with decal in pink, purple, and yellow on.Red leather skirt with added frill detail which goes diagonally down the skirt.Adorable wedge type, lilac boots with flower illustrations imprinted into them and finally, to finish off her look, a removable gold, chunky bracelet.I think the outfit is a little random, i mean, I love the design of each of them but I don't feel the red fits in, as beautiful as the skirt itself is though it's just the colour with the other colours. Not an issue though because we love to re-dress Barbies all the time!I would recommend,

If your child likes playing with Barbie dolls then they will love this new addition. My 8 year old niece has many Barbies and she is overjoyed with this new addition, which she has named Meghan ( she is a big fan of Meghan Markel) The braids and outfit, including gold bangle are also a big hit - ‘Meghan’ is very cool and trendy!The only down side to this Barbie is that the arms and legs don't have movable joints, as much of the fun in imaginative play involves making up stories and positioning the doll.I will definitely be buying more Barbies in the Fashionistas range as there is a wide variety with unique styles in hair and eye colours, size and skin tones.

This doll is from a new range called Fashionista.What I like about these is that they include dolls with disabilities as well as mixed race and black skin tones.Two of the dolls in this range are in wheelchairs and one has a prosthetic leg.This doll has lovely braided hair. She has a mixed race skin tone and recognisably fashionable clothes. Her T Shirt reads Girl Power and the red plastic skirt is short but in a fashion way. Best of all she is earring purple boots with lace ups. I like them.She also wears a chunky gold braceletI have to say I do wish that Barbie had looked more like this a decade or two ago….I boycotted them back then.Now I am happy to give these to my granddaughters to play.

This is my 2rd Barbie from Fashionistas range. This Fashionistas Barbie range is to celebrate diversity with unique fashion and a wide variety of skin tones, eye colours, hair colours and textures, body types and fashions. I have never seen this before so I am very happy to live through an evolutionary period. It reflects the world we live in today.Fashionistas Barbie is not only offering young girls diversifying human experience from early age but also allows them to make friends with out any prejudice. It also offers infinite ways to play out stories and express their style.I am very happy to endorse this product for girls who like to play with Barbie dolls and to collectors like my wife who

Pretty Barbie doll with long, dark pleated hair and large, dark eyes. There are no accessories with the doll and what you see is what you get. Her outfit is a simple T-shirt with a leather effect skirt and large, white, plastic boots. This is not a jointed doll and so you can't pose her and she won't stand unless you lean her up against something. Other outfits and accessories are available and clothes/shoes etc. can be swapped around among the other Fashionista dolls, of the same size, in the range. Pretty face, lovely hair that's easy to style but really simple presentation without any added extras makes her seem a little plain to be honest but my granddaughter really likes her.

I collect black Barbies and as soon as i saw this fashionistas hair I knew I had to buy her. She is a tall one. The hair is lovely, very slim braids. Her face is gorgeous and her skirt is just like a red leather one I had in the late 80's. The onle downside is I just wish all Barbies had made to move bodies. They are very expensive and they just dont move. Even if they just moved at the elbows and knees?!Oh well, mine is display only so it doesnt really mattet to me but if I were a child I would want the jointed ones at £25 each and many parents cannot afford that.Overall, a stunning addition to my collection.I paid £11.99

For less than a tenner you get a whole lot of doll, making this Fashionistas Barbie Doll with Long Braided Hair...wearing a girl power t-shirt excellent value. Barbie herself is made to the usual high standards and her out fit (including the red "pleather" skirt) is of good quality too. Certainly our seven year old niece was thrilled with her. She commented that is was nice to have a barbie (she has several) who looks a bit different. She particularly likes this Barbie's braided hair. For the money this is a quality doll that any Barbie loving child will enjoy.

This Barbie is a nice addition to any collection. The doll has warm dark skintone, very long braids, and some height to her. She’s more than an inch taller than a usual career Barbie (such as Airline Pilot Barbie). As she fills the box entirely from end to end, she must be the tallest of Barbies.The outfit is well-made, comprising top, skirt, boots and bangle. The Fashionista range has wilder outfits than most Barbies, and their styles might date quite quickly. That might affect long-term playability, but she is certainly one for the collection.

This is a good-value Barbie, compared with some. She looks great, with wonderful hair and cool clothes, according to 5-year-old granddaughter. The Fashionistas range of taller dolls is new to us, and we like what we see, so will be buying more. The range is eminently collectable.Another reviewer said the doll she received was too tall for the Mattel packaging, but we didn’t find that. She was a tight fit, certainly, but not “bursting out”. There was a strong Amazon outer box, so the manufacturer’s box arrived in good shape.

My daughter loves barbies and ken dolls but always asks me why they don’t have different colours and sizes? (I know this is a five year old asking this not a 20year old!!) so I said this year for Christmas I would get her as many different shapes, sizes and colours that I can find. It is brilliant that fashionista dolls have it all! I’ve bought about 10 to show her there are more than just skinny dolls, blonde dolls, one colour dolls. Brilliant buy!

I love that Barbie is more than a pin up blond now and I love this doll. She's got a great sense of style, great hair and is beautiful without being blond and blue eyed. I have her to my friends daughter who wants more dolls that look like her, with different hair styles and can carry around proudly. I really love her outfit, it's loud and colourful and the doll itself is well made. My friends daughter is happy and has a new doll to enjoy.

Girl Power! Love this Barbie nearly as much as my 5yr old :)In fact she look so cool in her red leather skirt that my 10yr old (who is ‘so over barbies mum’) even offered to play Barbie with her little sis!!We have a collection of the fashionistas Barbies and it makes for interesting play time. She is a tall one with very slim braids.One to add to your child’s collection for sure and will be a hit as a gift!
