Today we are reviewing a charming portrait doll, dedicated to an unparalleled and God-given talented woman, whose work has occupied the highest ranks and awards in the music charts and the hearts of fans for several decades❤️ American singer, songwriter and music producer - Mariah Carey! 💃🏽🎙️💽
The doll belongs to Black Label and has a festive New Year's packaging that says: "Put me under the tree for the New Year!" 🎄🎁 There is no doubt that hardly any of the collectors of Barbie dolls would refuse such a chic New Year's gift😉
The package includes a certificate of authenticity and a very interesting black stand for the doll with a new holder shape. Why he is like that - you will find out a little later☺️
Mariah knows how to surprise!
Mariah's amazing look and all her magical holiday image comes from the recent 2020, when Carey planned and recreated in reality a large-scale Christmas music show called "Magical Christmas Special", in which various world stars took part.
The shiny garnet dress is from there 🤩
The face of the doll was created with respect and love for the prototype😍 Stylish festive make-up in bronze-golden shades, amazing fluffy eyelashes that emphasize alive and full of passion for the surrounding world, "burning" eyes, a beautiful birthmark of the singer is reproduced and even an unobtrusive "separation" of the upper and of the lower rows of snow-white teeth in an open smile - all this is captivating and demonstrates great attention to detail🌟
The shadows above the doll's eyes may seem a little pixelated, but, by and large, the human eye, unlike a meticulous camera, doesn't even see it.
In general, the face sculpt is very harmonious and photogenic☺️
Mariah's long hair, placed in large festive curls, has as many as 4 shades!🤩
The hair is high-quality stitched, thick, heavily varnished. The back is flattened from being pressed against the package, so it needs additional styling.
The strand near the face is attached to the dress with a thread to match the hair, it is easy to cut and does not spoil the outfit.
From the doll's jewelry - evening silver plastic earrings, which do not have stoppers inside the head, are easily removed and leave quite visible holes in the ears.
In her hand, decorated with a charming silver butterfly ring, Mariah holds a silver microphone, which, thanks to the ring, is firmly held and does not fly away.
The ring, like the earrings, is easily removed and leaves a hole in the doll's hand.
On the nails, we can see a short manicure in a soft pink shade.
Mariah's sophisticated and seductive garnet dress is made of soft and light lurex fabric. It sits well on the figure, as it is decorated with folds in the necessary places. As a lining - thin flexible chiffon. On the hips of the dress, we can notice an interesting design solution, which is decorated with a large silver brooch and visually makes the already luxurious hips of the doll a little more voluminous, thereby emphasizing the exciting difference between the hips and the waist😍
The fastener in the dress is a little chunky, in our opinion, white Velcro on the back. The festive silhouette is completed by a bold cut, a flare from the knees and an elongated hem at the back of the dress.
Mariah's legs are decorated with elegant red high-heeled sandals.
So we got to the most interesting part!☺️
It turns out that the creators gave Mariah a new type of model body in 2023 - Music Muse Body!
The body has only the most basic articulations, but just look at those proportions!🔥
And this is where the stand with the new holder, which was mentioned at the beginning of the review, comes in handy.
This is how the stand holds the doll:
A little more angles to properly look at the new chic, in our opinion, model body.
In addition, pay attention to the aesthetic curve of the foot and the soft "living" lines of the bones of the hands😊
And for an even greater understanding of the difference between the new and past model bodies - we suggest you look at the comparison of the new Music Muse body of 2023 with the Model Muse body of 2003🤗
And for those who are still more inspired by the doll's mobility - we have a comparison with the Made to Move body, with which Mariah has a 100% skintone match. This body is from the beloved "pigtail" BMR1959. Barbie Puma blonde also has a similar (liquid) skin tone. Yes, we agree that the hybridization option is expensive, but it is there and that is good.
Thank you for your attention, the review turned out to be quite long, but, we hope, interesting and informative🤓
