2024 Looks Wave 4 #21 and #25

An Amazon package was left at my doorstep on April 17, 2024.

The 2024 Barbie Looks dolls #21 and #25 ordered from Amazon arrived on April 17, 2024. The shipping box remained unopened until April 28, 2024. Their first photos are shared below.


Barbie Looks 2024 #21 and #25

Barbie Looks #21 uses the Heidi head sculpt. She has right-side-parted black microbraids, light brown eyes, and a closed mouth with muted pink lip color. This head sculpt is gorgeous in this skin tone! She wears a pale pink two-piece ensemble of a halter top and a wet-look mini skirt with a teasing tiny slit on the left front and pink high-heel ankle boots.

Barbie Looks #25 uses the Basics Black Ken head sculpt, first used on Barbie Basics Model #17, but this doll has a much deeper complexion with the addition of black-rooted curly hair that covers the top and center back of the head with painted black hair around the sides of his head to create a taper fade. He has brown painted eyes, a closed mouth, and uses the Buff Body Ken Made to Move body. #25 wears a chartreuse T-shirt, lavender pants, and metallic silver boots.

All dolls in this collection have multiple points of articulation. (I'd like Mattel to improve the appearance of the articulated joints for the female dolls to eliminate the female action-figure look. A sleeker-appearing joint is my preference.) This collection also includes a doll stand and a certificate of authenticity for each doll. 

Barbie Looks 2024 Wave 4 Collection


The back of the box illustrates the other dolls in the Barbie Looks Wave 4 collection.

The collection is described on the back of each box. (The background of #25's box description is lavender while #21's background description is pink.)


The collection is described on the lower section of the box on the back, as illustrated above and as typed below.

Barbie Looks Wave Four is a curated collection of dolls, each with a fresh pastel look and style personality. The on-trend fashions feature photo worthy details, and with posable articulated bodies, they inspire the stylist within. Barbie Looks dolls are ready to style, pose, photograph and post.

Note: I removed the dolls from the box after this post was scheduled for publishing, and I encountered a temporary issue which I will describe in the next post.
