Review: She's perfect! - super cute! I don't want my barbies to all look the same. She is adorable and is a great addition to my diverse set of Barbies
Review: Might be My Favorite Barbie Ever! - When I purchased this doll, I didn't realize she has Downs Syndrome. I just wanted and inexpensive way to add some racial diversity to the zillion or so tall, blonde Barbies handed down from my sister and I and gifted by relatives. I looked at other black Barbies, and I chose this one because of her authentic look, confidence, and smile. Her shape is much more realistic than that of most Barbies. She's a little shorter, her breasts are smaller, thighs, seat and belly are a little wider than typical for Barbie, but she looks so REAL. She's absolutely GORGEOUS! I was initially a little concerned that none of the other Barbie's clothes would fit her, but I was happy to find that I could make most of our existing doll clothes work for her. Some of the really form-fitting clothes that I had to go with my '80s Barbies do not fit, but they don't fit many other modern-day Barbies either. Overall, this is an excellent purchase. My 6 and 8 year old don't know what Downs Syndrome is, and I would be extremely surprised if they even notice there's anything different about this doll that would suggest any kind of disability. If they do, it will provide a good opportunity to talk about diversity, but if they don't bring it up, I honestly probably won't even bother trying to explain it because I just don't think they'd really understand it at this point yet. To them (and to me) she is just another beautiful, lively, fun Barbie doll.
