Mattel Blonde Barbie Style 2-Pack (2023) Review

Congratulations, dear friends! Finally, we had the opportunity to take a closer look at the super stylish couple from Mattel from the Barbie Style 2023 series.
At this time, there are already many beautiful promo photos and a whole story about the creation of this pair from the designers, and you can learn about all this at the link dollshobby.club and in the meantime, we will start looking at how stylish blondes look in the real world☺️
A pair of Barbie Style 2-Pack belongs to Mattel's gold label (Gold Label), has a stylish packaging traditional for the series, which fans of the Flat Lay style like to use in their photo shoots. This is when in a square photo there is a lying doll in the center, and clothes and accessories for different occasions of her life are laid out on the sides.
The edition of the pair is no more than 20,000 pieces worldwide☝🏻🤓 This is what is indicated on the packaging.

The package includes black stands for dolls, male and female, so we will use them in the review.
Both dolls are equipped with super-flexible Made to Move bodies of standard height and build, the quality of which is completely consistent with regular yogis, the same seams and casting marks, so perfectionists should stock up on sanding materials in advance.
The blonde girl with the Millie mold is incredibly beautiful, she has soft shiny hair, collected in a stylish hairstyle, the hands and feet of the doll are decorated with manicure and pedicure in the tone of lipstick, and the make-up meets all the requirements of the nude palette. The highlight of the doll is its sideways glance, it is impossible not to smile in response to these cute and expressive blue eyes☺️

The first outfit of the girl is a black bathing suit, of high quality tailoring, the bottom is one-piece, and the bodice has a velcro on the back. The bodice is attached to the chest with double-sided adhesive tape, so it will take time to remove it neatly.
For jewelry, the doll has gold earrings and a gold bracelet. The earrings are removed without effort and heat, and the bracelet has a very large hole, it falls out of the hand, so there is a risk of losing it.

Only one pair of shoes goes with both sets of girls' clothes:

The second set of outfits for girls consists of an airy bright top and white pants. The selected fabrics are ultra-soft and high-quality, the fasteners everywhere are metal buttons.
Accessories include a beige handbag with fringes and stylish glasses.

The guy also has stylish glasses 😎 Now let's pay attention to him, because we can also tell a lot of interesting things about him😉

The blue-eyed boy is a little darker in skin tone than the girl (she is closer to "neutral"), has a Ken mold (as indicated on Mattel's official website), but at first glance you can notice some new nuances. Firstly, Ken has improved, maybe even grown older, his face looks full and satisfied, and secondly, the creators have given the guy a very voluptuous chin, which, in turn, visually shortens the neck🤔 See for yourself:

The guy has gorgeous stone-lacquered hair of several shades, which looks gorgeous even when it's still. The flock on the temples and back of the head has the same shades of highlighting. A very good decision from the creators, in our opinion😍

The first outfit of the young man is cheerful beach shorts with palm trees in a pleasant blue-green shade. Shoes, like girls - only one pair for both outfits - white flip flops. Of the additional accessories, the guy only has sunglasses, which he has already shown in previous photos.

The second outfit for the boy is a marshmallow-pink jacket and shorts and a white mesh T-shirt. The quality of tailoring is at the level, nothing sticks out, does not pull, the jacket is lined, the shorts are on Velcro.

Unfortunately, the guy has a personal nuance that may not matter to most fans, but we promise only honest reviews, so we have to report anything that catches our eye in one way or another.
You probably already noticed in the previous photos that the boy's head is different from his own body. And so it is: the head is more orange and darker.

But there is always a way out!😉👍🏼 If you realize that you are unable to get along with the above phenomenon, for example, a new fashionista, a brunette cart driver, can come to your aid. His shade matches better with the shade of the blond guy's head.

And don't let the small nuances reduce your desire to house certain dolls in your homes, because they all bring positiveness and inspiration!😊
We hope you will find something interesting and useful for you in this review.
