BarbieMade to Move Barbie Looks Doll Petite with Short Black Hair

These Looks 2021 dolls strike me like a cross between the pared-back Barbie Basics collections--featuring the Model Muse rigid bodies--on fully articulated Made-to-Move (MtM) bodies, perfect for the diorama-focused adult collector. BMR 1959 had great MtM bodies, but their style, hair & clothing, was very much fashion runway. This Barbie Signature Looks 2021 series looks more like stylish adults who hang out together.Like other Barbie Signature dolls, they come with doll stands and certificates. Being Black Label, they aren't numbered and will be plentiful, for a little while.Strikingly, Mattel has launched 6 new face sculpts--date-stamped "2020" on the back of their heads!🤗 All heads are in the smaller collector-size, as opposed to the larger Playline heads used for regular Barbies and Fashionistas. The face for this petite brunette, with her half-flocked pixie undercut, is called "Kit".I could not detect any of the dreaded pixelation of cheaper Playline dolls. Her face looks painted to me and to a very good quality--mine at least was flawless.Mattel clearly assumes most buyers will redress their dolls for photos. Thus, most of the budget has been allocated to the faces, rooted hairstyles, and quality control of the MtM body. Still, the clothing is of a decent quality, simple monochrome, usually either white or black. This doll is the exception, wearing a white sport-mesh & black cropped top--velcro back-closure--paired with a black pull-on calf-length straight midi-skirt. The black fabric is a stretch jersey. Her footwear are slip-on platform wedge sandals. No pink, no prints, and there's not a logo to be found on anything!😉Like both BMR 1959 series (to-date), these dolls feature the fully articulated Made-to-Move (MtM) bodies. Unlike the recent Yoga dolls,🙄 however, the knees and elbows are made of a matching colour. But it would be a shame to simply purchase these to re-body another Barbie. First, you'd lose that gorgeous head, and second, her light pink skin-tone is relatively unique--decidedly more (blush) pink than the Purple Top Yoga doll. Of the Fashionistas range, I could only match her to #61-Nice in Nautical (DYY90, also petite)--but I won't be losing that gorgeous "Kit" head (see photos)!The white cardboard box, with a single plastic panel, is decent, but these dolls are clearly designed to be de-boxed and posed for social media photos, this one being "Model #3". The full series, already launched in the US (spring 2021), with their face sculpt names, is:◽ #1 - Latina Female with Wavy Brunette Hair - Lina (GTD89)◽ #2 - Curvy Black/AA Female with Brunette Afro - Elle (GTD91)◽ #3 - Petite Asian Brunette Female with Pixie Undercut - Kit (GXB29) - this gorgeous doll😊◽ #4 - Black/AA Male with Brunette Braids & Bun - Jon (GXL14)◽ #5 - Blonde Male with (painted) Beard - Sean (GTD90)◽ #6 - Tall Blonde Female - Victoria (GXB28) - not Millie!😉About that articulation, Made-to-Move (originally called "Endless Moves") bodies are more flexible than Pivotal bodies, which have just 11 to 15 points of articulation--e.g., Relaxation, Tokyo 2020 and non-athlete Inspiring Women dolls. This is most noticeable in the elbows and knees, which are double-jointed, allowing the limbs to fold flat and not limited to the 90 degrees of most articulated dolls. The double-jointed elbows and knees account for 8 of the 22 points of articulation, the others being head (tilt & rotate), upper torso, and 2 each of arm sockets, upper arm rotators, wrists, hip sockets, upper thigh rotators & ankles.I cannot wait for the other 5 Looks 2021 dolls to finally hit the UK!🙏 Note, after North America, these dolls are being released next across the EU, before (hopefully🤞) being made available in the UK in a few shops. We may have to resort to imports. Patience is a virtue, they say. But, based on "Kit", they're worth the wait!

I have really been looking forward to this doll line coming out, so very pleased that at least one doll from the collection is available on Amazon uk . She does not disappoint! She is only the second made to move petite doll so far ( the first being from last years second BMR1959 release).Her facial screening is stunning( no pixels here!) and nicely detailed. She has dark brown hair with slightly lighter brown highlights cut into a cute short style and is flocked at the sides and back. Her head is dated 2020 and is a brand new sculpt( all the dolls in this line have new sculpts).Her made to move body is well made ,the joints are tight and none of the joints are a different colour to her limbs!( unlike a lot of previous made to move dolls. Hopefully Mattel has addressed that issue now.) Her fashion is very simple but chic and made of better quality fabric than the standard playline fashions. Her skirt has an elasticated waist and the Barbie signature fashion label sewn inside. Her top is black with a white mesh contrast and is done up with velcro at the back. She has a pair of platform slides to complete her outfit.Fantastic doll and can not wait for the others in this line to show up.

Lovely. So different from regular Barbie.

LOVE her, she is petite and pretty. One of her elbow joins was stuck but I warmed it with a hair drier and got it moving. She can stand alone and most 12" doll shoes fit her, My scene boots look good as well. I think these diverse movable dolls maybe additive as I just ordered another. : )

She's a very pretty doll, hair was stiff so I gently washed, and I noticed in photo that her lips are chipped, but won't take me a minute to adjust. She is one of the prettiest dolls I've seen in the barbie range.

I love this doll so much. She is so beautiful and has such lovely hair! Nice to see they are bringing out barbies with short hair! As I do not have the longest hair ither! I'm ten and have bought her with my own money, and I have no regrets ither. She does not disappoint! I have named her Pixie and I dress her new every day, and keep her on the stand over night. I also like doll photography too and she is such a good model and is very photogenic! Overall I love her so much and appriciate her fully articulated body. I would certainly recommend!

Love this doll. super easy to pose and really pretty face mould. suitable for collectors, only down side is hair is hard with gel. rather leave it without gel. I did have to wash the hair to get the gel out.

Really cute doll, plan to reroot and give her long hair
