Holiday Barbie Dolls

Dolls have been the traditional toy for little girls. So far, this still remains true even to this day. Nowadays, Barbie is the name that immediately comes to mind when discussing dolls for your young ones. Barbie dolls are also one of the most sought after Christmas toys for girls in 2010. What fuels this interest is the fact that manufacturers usually come up with new dolls for the holidays.

Collector’s Item Slash Toy

There is some concern whether the new Barbie dolls to come out during the winter holidays of 2010 will be better off as toys for young girls or as collector’s items. The manufacturers recommend that this toy is appropriate for children age six and higher. Its novelty is highly appraised but some people doubt the doll’s fun factor. Some people find the toy to be too challenging for kids that age.

They say that it seems that the Holiday Barbie Doll isn’t as versatile as one might imagine it to be. Thus their recommendation is to mainly keep it as part of a collection instead of using it as an actual toy. The decision is really up to the consumer. You can be sure that your young girls might ask for it one time. The packaging alone is enough to attract anyone’s attention not to mention the new fabulous winter attire that Barbie is wearing this year.

One of the reasons why some people deem that the Holiday Barbie Doll is suitable mainly as a collector’s item is the glamorous winter attire that Barbie wears. She simply looks fabulous in it and is ready for a rather romantic winter ball. Now, if you intend to let your little girl have fun with this new Barbie then you will have to cut the little threads that keep her dress in place.

The gown is truly snowy white and is beautifully trimmed with gold and red bodice. The ribbon bow also matches the overall appeal of this doll. The festive look is made complete by the chandelier earrings and the wonderful headpiece that she is wearing. Both adults and children will love the festive accessories that come with this winter Barbie.

Other Important Details

This year’s Holiday Barbie Doll has its retail price at $38. It is not suited for children below three years due to a choking hazard. The doll itself weighs 1.6 pounds and is 11 inches tall. Take note that this doll’s arms aren’t as straight as the other Barbie dolls. In fact they are quite bent, which makes changing her clothes a tad more difficult.
