Today we are reviewing a crazy novelty of 2023 from Mattel, which flew like hotcakes already in the first few minutes of the start of sales, which took place on the official website of Mattel Creations๐ฅ Yes, yes, we are talking about it - Barbie 50 Roots, which is dedicated to the 50- by a Canadian company that creates comfortable and cozy clothes for walks in nature.
That is why the main focus is on the amazing multi-layered outfit of the doll๐
But, everything is in order!โ๐ป๐ค
The doll belongs to Black Label, and has a bright thematic packaging in shades of green forest and natural log house. The package includes a certificate of authenticity and a black stand.
The inner part of the package unfolds and can be used as a photophone or to create a room box. Imagination paints a girl who has just left the forest hotel for a walk, with a comfortable suitcase and in a stylish, soft outfit๐๐ณ๐ฒ
The doll is very charismatic, at first glance it becomes clear with what attention to detail the creators approached โค๏ธ
A girl in a body, respects healthy food without any kind of abuse, like diets, looks amazing and exquisite๐คฉ
The graceful face sculpt, billed on the official website as Nichel, is more reminiscent of the Marisa mold known among long-time collectors. But we won't say anything, because who knows which Nishelek from Mattel we might not have seen?๐ค๐ง๐ค
Very high-quality, non-pixelated, nude makeup in a pile with a complex drawing of amazingly beautiful eyes that look to the side - and that's it, this doll will conquer the heart of even the most demanding collectors.
And add to this also thick, soft, completely unvarnished shiny hair, which is styled with stylish flagella or waves - and there will not even be any doubts as to whether such a girl is needed in the collectionโบ๏ธ
The doll's outfit is, in the truest sense of the word, a work of art๐ Absolutely finished stylish image combined with unheard of performance quality๐ฅ
As an element of outerwear, the doll is wearing a stylish bright bomber jacket, the main (green) part of which is made of soft "warm" material and decorated with bright "patches" on the chest and back.
The sleeves of the bomber jacket are sewn from a material "under the skin", the quality of which will only be shown by time, but let's hope that progress does not stand still and such materials will already be able to please us and our dolls for many years ๐ค๐ป๐ The sleeves are also decorated with stylish drawings.
The buttons of the bomber jacket are glued, they are held quite firmly, they do not fly away.
Also, the bomber jacket has two pockets, but they are something between functional and "cheating".
The cuffs and collar of the bomber are made of soft striped knitwear.
The inner side of the bomber jacket deserves special attention and respect - there is a perfect thin lining and equally perfect seams๐
In general, the bomber almost does not affect the mobility of the doll, it is soft enough.
The suit for walks is made of very soft and pleasant to the touch knitwear, the detailing and quality of stitching and print on the blouse and pants are very pleasing ๐
The pocket on the blouse is functional, but the mobility of the doll's native body does not allow her to use a comfortable muff at all ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
The blouse has a very nice length of sleeves, it fastens with Velcro on the back.
Pants - comfortable, wide, with an elastic band in the waist
Undoubtedly, one of the reasons for buying this doll for many was the amazingly realistic bots!๐ฅพ And yes - they are really worth it!๐ฅ
Since the doll is created on a curvy body - boots with a sock for a curvy foot look a little too small. Even "out of the box" the heel was visible to the naked eye, which is not completely hidden in the shoes๐ค
But, this is all a trifle compared to the realism of these shoes๐
Chic shoes require chic accessories, and in this case such an accessory is a roomy "leather" suitcase with straps๐งณ๐
The suitcase is very detailed, empty inside, there are no additional locks.
โ๏ธThe long strap has very weak fasteners, so it constantly falls out from both sides of the suitcase. This should be taken into account in order not to lose the suitcase and strap on potential walks with the doll.
As already written above, the doll has a lush body with one-piece hinges and a fixed half-raised foot.
Under the protective cardboard restraints on the knees, the following plastic difference was revealed: it is matte, while the legs are glossy around the legs๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Body and head marking:
Hybridization
Fortunately, this time Mattel decided to leave us a barrel of delicious honey without any attachments, so hybridization of this beauty will not be a problem!๐
Barbie 50 Roots has the most common skin tone of a dark soccer player Made to Move, and since there are already many super-articulated dolls of this tone, you can also choose the body to your tasteโบ๏ธ
Example:
For the experiment, we personally chose a standard soccer player. And this is what a girl looks like on a slimmer body๐
By the way, the palms were also transplanted with the help of heating from the native body to MTM ๐๐ป
The charming realistic boots are a little too big for the bare feet of standard Made to Move yoga, and with a sock - perfect๐
Thank you for your attention and we hope that the review helped you make the right decision
