Barbie Extra Doll #1 |
So when the buzz about Amazon having the doll on preorder surfaced, I bit the bullet and preordered. Amazon's dolls would not ship out until January. I was okay with that, but then another collector shared that she canceled her Amazon preorder and ordered from Target online's available stock where shipping was free with the use of their Red card. So I followed her lead by canceling the Amazon preorder and ordered from Target with my Red card.
The doll arrived within a few days and she is better than expected.

Barbie Extra Doll 1's hair is styled in two Afro puffs with two side braids. She wears twisted gold hoop earrings, a red two-piece knit top and shorts with black banded trim on both the top and the shorts. The word "Love" is printed on the trim. White striped sports socks, silver high-heel anklets, a cloud-shaped white handbag, dark sunglasses that have "Shine" above one lens and "Bright" above the other, a gold necklace, a ring, and a fabulous faux fur rainbow coat complete her "extra" look. Also included is a plastic tan French poodle that has its own star-shaped yellow glasses, a bag, and pink bows.
The doll and accessories are illustrated on the back of the box. |
The doll has extra articulation at the elbows and knees. I am not sure about the ankles and wrists since my doll is still in the box for now, but I am thinking those are articulated, too.
Because of her colorful clothing, this doll gives off United Colors of Benetton Barbie vibes.

I've placed the doll under the Christmas tree unwrapped as a visible gift from myself.
