BarbieBarbie Careers Fashion Doll & Accessories, Made to Move Tennis Player Wearing Removable Outfit with Racket & Ball, 22 Bendable Joints

Some people buy this doll as they want an articulated doll that's an athlete. She's perfectly fine for that. Her pale skin is flattered by the soft colors of her outfit. Her outfit is coherent and looks well-put together. She's wearing a sensible ponytail, perfect for tennis! and she comes with the accessories she needs: a racket and a ball. What's not to like!But I think a lot of collectors are buying multiples of this doll to use the doll's articulated body on other dolls which are not articulated (such as the fashionistas line). She's perfect for that purpose. Her ability to pose is excellent. Her joints are sturdy and well-made. She can move.Now, I just wish she'd go on sale!

Lovely facial detail. Top quality and very realistic functional movement abilities! Big hit with the kids!

She is the epitome of an athletic girl. Tennis racket fits well in her hand and the outfit is well made. Maybe better quality than some of the other outfits offered by Matel.

I had initially bought this barbie to swap heads with another barbie but she grew on me and after dressing her up I knew she was a keeper.The one thing I have a complaint about us that I've ordered three of these bc they're inexpensive articulated bodies. The first one I opened had a bad hair chop. However the pros outway the consA great alternative to those of us who can't afford a BJD but still want a good posable doll. She's slim and fun to pose, standard 11 inch clothes fit her, personally I took her hair our of the rubber band and she is just so fun and cute. As far a durability goes, she is flexible but some joints, namely hands and feet seem a bit loose. Holding her up her feet don't stay straight on my own, they're loose and tip forward without anything under them. I fixed this by "sueding" the joints in her ankles (a thin piece of moleskine placed in the joint to help it hold a position) her hands don't bother me much. However in some reviews I noticed that people were a bit upset due to her arm seeming to face the wrong way. This is usually not a defect and her arm is just rotated. My gals arm was totally backwards but if you follow how the joints move I realized it was rotated at the shoulder so I put her arm straight out and twisted it into position and she's just fine.If the doll is resisting movement, ensure the joint is facing the right way before assuming she's broken. I have accidentally done this with all of my articulated dolls where I tried to pose bur the arm was rotated. Don't force it, usually you just have to rotate the upper arm and her hands can face backwards or upside down, just twist it in the correct position.If the joints are too loose you can suede the joint or use a little bead of hot glue but ensure it is thin, you don't want to adhere the joint but putting something in the joint like that or even a rubber band will help with loosenessA big step for Barbie to start articulating dolls. I remember my old barbies where you had to snap her legs down to get her to sit. Loving the new articulated dolls. I put an odile (lavender dreamtopia mermaid) on one of the extras I bought so you rly can make a OOAK with these bodies.

I originally purchased her to use as a body donor, but bought a second one for her unique face. Her hair needed a little love right out of the box, so I restyled her with curls, and now she looks fantastic! She has the fairest skin tone for regular bodies, I believe. Her face is a little pixelated, but I don’t mind. She has soft saran hair in black. She has a fully posable made to move body. Her original tennis outfit is one piece—I would have preferred two separate pieces, but for the price, I am very happy with her!

If you're someone who makes custom Barbies like me, this gal is going to be really helpful. She has the lightest skin tone currently offered in the made to move body format--even lighter than the purple top yoga doll or Looks #8! This makes her helpful to body swap with extremely light colored Fashionistas like #60 to given them articulation.On her own, she's cute, but a bit flawed. Her face paint is slightly pixelated (which is too bad, because this might be one of my favorite variants on this face sculpt) and her outfit would be nicer if it were a separate top and skirt that you could mix and match. Most annoying, though, is the fact that she's pinned into the box through MULTIPLE tiny plastic bars in her head. It's very difficult to cut her free without either accidentally cutting her hair or leaving the bar long enough that it annoyingly stabs your fingers if you try to style her hair. The tennis ball is also super tiny and I could easily see it getting lost if you give this set to a kid.This is an excellent addition to the Made to Move Barbie line. I'm glad to see mattel continuing to expand this line with more body type and skin tone combinations!

Prettiest doll I've gotten in a while from Mattel, I highly suggest this doll for any reason I believe I have 2 and they are both very pretty and well jointed not too stiff or loose.

Lots of articulation and the ability to put her in many different tennis poses high quality and beautiful
