 Barbie solo in the spotlight July 16, 2010
Gail B. Eisen
I enjoy collecting Barbies. I have been a fan for over 45 years. Glad I had a chance to order the 50 year
Barbie along with solo in the spotlight.
my entry into the world of Barbie Collection May 18, 2010
Miss Contrary (Staten Island, NY USA)
I was so glad that the 1959 reproduction of the Original Teenage Fashion Model Barbie by Mattel was still available. Amazon.com made possible my entry into the world of Barbie Collection. Thank you. I received my order promptly. Paypal was good, although I would prefer to pay by money order.
The best thing ever!! March 9, 2010
Patrick K. Ervolina
I LOVE the Teenage Fashion Model doll. The bathing suit is glued on, so at first I thought the dress couldn't go on the barbie. It will fit over the bathing suit when the snaps in the back are un-done though. It's really nice for a barbie doll dress. This is a must-have doll for well... just about anyone.

Thank you for fast shipping, the doll is in perfect condition. I collect Barbies and my sister had this doll as an original, had given it to me and wanted it back when we grew up. Thank you for giving me a replacement. This was my birthday gift this year. She looks better than our original.
 An improvement over the 35th Anniversary Repro February 19, 2010
JayDee (Virginia)
I owned the 35th Anniversary reproduction of Barbie #1. If you owned the previous doll released in 1994, you might want to consider buying this doll as well. Its actually an improvement! One of the problems I had with the 1994 doll was the hair. The 2009 repro is far superior. The 1994 doll had a shade of blonde that was a bit too mousy. This doll has just the right blonde shade more faithful to the original. The hair style on this one, though the hairline is a little low, is more faithful to the original as it has kinky bangs as opposed to the "bobbed" bangs of the original repro. Another big improvement is the doll stand. This doll has holes in the bottom of the feet (like the original dolls) that allow it to sit on the spokes of the stand. The 1994 doll had a clumsy doll stand that squeezes around the waist. This 50th anniversary doll's stand is much user friendly, as the original doll's stand.
Deficits of this version? The adhesive used for holding up the bathing suite is a real minus! If you were to take off the bathing suit, you'd have to tear through the adhesive holding it to the doll. This is a really badly thought out detail. The 1994 reproduction used clear plastic straps to keep the suit on the doll. If you don't mind the adhesive sticking to her boobs if you chose to put on the accompanying outfit, then this might not be a big deal. This review just finds it needless. Also, why does Mattel have to staple the head to the box? Its incredibly difficult to cut the plastic staples the way they are attached to head. This really seems like a pointless bit of packing and worse...you have staples sticking from under her hair once you cut it away.
Bottom line. If you want a more affordable version of Barbie #1, this is your gal. Unfortunately, Mattel sees fit to package this doll in such a way that you are forced to deal with staples in the head and adhesive on the boobs. But then, Barbie was a modern gal so maybe she doesn't mind it so much.
