Barbie Signature Lunar New Year Doll (12-inch Brunette) Wearing Red Satin Cheongsam Dress with Accessories, Collectible Gift for Kids & Collectors

She is lovely and graced my book club's discussion of a book based on oriental women's roles. Barbie did a fantastic job of forming this lovely lady.

It arrived early and looks as it should. Bought as a gift. Believe it will be a great surprise.

Everything you would expect from a Barbie. Top quality, beautiful outfit.

I was very pleased to find this doll on Amazon for much less than other sellers including Mattel. She is very pretty and very detailed. I had read the other not so positive reviews. I agree that the mid priced Barbie dolls made in the last few years are not as elaborate or slightly less quality wise (fabrics, jewelry) as dolls made in prior years. However, I feel that way about almost everything sold today. Luckily for me, I try to buy these dolls at "sale" prices or lower than most sellers including Mattel. I thought this doll was a great bargain when I bought her. Full disclosure: This was my second doll. The first one was damaged upon delivery. Amazon made good on my purchase and sent a replacement packaged perfectly at no charge. I appreciated the excellent customer service!!

I purchased this doll in used condition from Amazon for about $36. I’m happy with her for the price I paid and I unboxed her immediately. The box was in pretty bad condition but this review is for the doll and she is beautiful! Honestly, I was on the fence about getting her because of some of the negative feedback on YouTube and the doll collecting community. But I’m glad I have her! She’s much prettier in person. The dress is some type of satiny material and has the flower print only on the front. I do wish the tassels on her earrings were real. Her hair is soft but nothing special. I love her whole color scheme, she looks so elegant and luxurious. I bought her mainly for her face sculpt, it’s rare to see such a pretty Asian doll from Mattel. Being Asian myself, I am super happy to see the representation! I will probably buy one more in new condition, if the price goes down, to keep in the box because the box itself is beautiful too. Edit: i love her so much that I ended up buying another one when she was on sale for prime day for about $24!

The Lunar New Year doll is my first of the Barbie Signature series. For the price point, she could have been better, honestly. It begs a few questions, such as "why not use nicer quality materials for the doll?" She's nicer than a regular Fashionista which is a small fraction of the 50 dollars Barbie is selling these for. The body mold used is your typical recent Happy Holidays doll's. I only have the African American 2020 and, besides skin-tone, it's right down to the pose. One can argue that even classic Barbies are victim to this, but classic Barbies were much more lavish and had more heft to them. On to the positive. She's gorgeous, with a face featuring more definition than your regular Fashionista. The coloration is gorgeous, vivid blues and reds with a flower print that isn't simply stickers or poorly printed on. The cheongsam itself warrants a bit more of a price tag than usual, but is it real satin? Or is it a satin substitute that most Disney dolls use instead? Old wedding Barbies used actual satin. I figure you're mostly paying for the Signature brand itself. This IS a beautiful doll, and she's better than a Fashionista, like I've said. She's on par with a Happy Holidays Barbie but the 50 bucks makes you think the doll will be of a bit more sumptuous material to warrant what it costs. As it stands, I'd wait for a slight price drop. Unless the collectivity of this product shoots up.

This Chinese Lunar New Year Barbie is so pretty. Her dress is beautiful, well made, and of high quality. I love her cute side-eye! She arrived well packaged and in a timely manner.

Love my Barbie am a collector
