Barbie Basics Model No. 03

Barbie Basics Model No. 03

She's here! I took photos of the still boxed Barbie Basics Model No. 03. My doll arrived in an imperfect box (a crimped top edge and scratched cellophane), but I won't stress over that. Unboxing is planned after the preordered You Create Barbie Kit No. 3 arrives in April.

The Photos

This lovely doll uses the Claudette head sculpt, has brown-painted eyes, burgundy textured hair, and wears silver oval-shaped drop earrings.

The back of the box features the other three dolls in the Barbie Basics Collection commemorating the 15th anniversary of the 2010-released Barbie Basics Little Black Dress collection.

 The doll uses the multiarticulated Made to Move body and wears a halter neck A-line little black dress with black knee-high boots. 

She is gorgeous!

I look forward to mixing and matching this doll and her accessories with the You Create Barbie Kit No. 3.

Black Dolls Are Essential

Barbie Basics Model 03 is seen in an Internet-captured photo.

My Barbie Basics Model 03 is not here yet, but is scheduled to arrive on 03/08/2025. It was the burgundy hair that prompted the purchase and the fact that her skin tone matches the Mattel Creations You Create Barbie Kit No. 3 scheduled for release on 03/06/2025. The kit has three doll bodies, three interchangeable heads, and mix and match ensembles!
