Thanks for showing her, Kim. I was on the fence with buying her (I didn’t) so I appreciate seeing yours. What a face! Love her haircut too, although yeah - poor QC, esp with the holes in the jacket from the box, argh! I also would’ve been pissed about the sudden price increase but end of day, still affordable. She really is a fashionable beauty! - Kada ❤
Completely agree and for the most part these are just stupid little things - I don’t really care about the purse or shoes or holes in the jacket - none of that really noticeable in the overall look and I can totally fix the hair. I am glad I got her - just wanted to stay honest in my review. 🤗🤗🤗 Thanks for stopping by Kada!
Sorry if I came across as negative! I actually really like her and glad I got her - I can fix her hair and the other things are minor issues but for a gold label doll, I think they should do better. 🤗🤗
I don’t regret getting her for sure and hope you don’t either - most of this is typical - they gimbal tag everything and the hair can honestly be fixed - I mean I pay a lot more for Blythes and their hair is almost always terrible. Sorry for being kind of negative but wanted to be honest - Mattel needs to step up quality control on their dolls that are non-playline. 🤗
I love her face - I always get an Andra if I see her and actually am still happy I got this doll - I just couldn’t bring myself to keep quiet on the quality control and packaging choice issues. 🤗🤗
Love the doll - the Andra sculpt is indeed a gorgeous one. Unhappy that Mattel didn't care more about that very precise blunt haircut. I have zero problem with trimming the long hair on playline dolls in order to make it even, but with a short blunt cut, and on a $45 gold label doll - that's pretty indefensible. The holes through the long leather trench: unforgivable. Not even plating the jewelry pieces to enhance the look, when the very Looks doll whose purse you borrowed does have shiny jewelry and sells for far less, with multiple fashion pieces as well - it's like Mattel just wants to see how much nonsense we will take from them before we stop buying. The Maeve Reilly doll should have been a homerun, but she wound up being... Maybe a single? At least for me.
Oh yes! You are absolutely and could not agree more. I usually try to keep it positive about the dolls I unbox and honestly for the most part I really like this doll. If o was Maeve Reilly though, I’d be pissed. These are all quality control issues and packaging choices. I’m so sick of all the gimbal tags - we know they are absolutely not needed and do way more damage than they do to protect the doll. And I completely agree about the blunt cut - that was one of the main reasons I wanted this doll - the hairstyle is different than any lately and it’s a mess. I can fix it I guess but still. Thanks for stopping by and commenting - I feel better knowing I’m not the only one who is not happy with these issues. 🤗 by the way - I absolutely love your channel name! :)
Great review (as always!). I am with you - the skinny heels and the plastic jewelry are a let down. She is a beautiful doll and I see those clothing pieces being used for all kinds mix and match.
Oh no! Sorry I dissuaded you - she really is a great doll and the fashion is so nice - for $35, I think she’s worth it but totally get if you think “hard pass”…🤗🤗🤗
Sorry to sound negative- she really is a nice doll and I like her a lot. Love the outfit! These are all minor issues and I can fix her hair. lol! So glad to see you Candy! 🤗🤗🤗
She looks lovely, shame the hair is a bit of a mess at the back though. Sadly the issues with the shoes is ongoing, I had a pair with a Barbie Looks doll which had the same issue. Also sadly Mattel never learns about the damage of kimble tags.
Right?! I am sure I can fix her hair though and yes the shoes are easy to change out - I probably have 20 pairs of black Barbie sandals. 🤣 I really wish they would stop with the gimbal tags in the clothing and head - it is so not necessary at all - they know this - they packaged the BMR dolls without gimbal tagging them into the box - I wonder why they keep doing it since it’s such a universally loathed practice. 🙄🤗
She is Beautiful but the holes in the jacket, the bad haircut, the bent heals, The scuffed purse and the price hike !!! Yikes! I think they should do better with a collector doll. I have yet to receive mine. Thank you for the unboxing🙏🏻🙏🏻 at least i know what to expect now. ❤❤
@@thedollsthewitchandthewardrobe Not negative at all. Just the truth. She still is very pretty , i just think Mattel should do better with a collector doll.Not your fault they slacked. Take care Kim 🤗🤗🥰🥰❤❤

Hi Kim, Thank you for your honest and thorough review. I thought about her but in the end I passed.😉🥰💖

Oh wow! Mine is arriving tomorrow. Hope I don't regret an impulse purchase, especially an expensive one that initially wasn't expensive!

I like her face and some of her outfit but agree with your comments about hit and miss

She’s very pretty but the faults are sad❤❤❤ 5:44
🤗🤗 Yes! It’s all good - these are all small issues and I can fix her hair. She’s really a pretty doll and I love the fashion. 🤗🤗
Great review (as always!). I am with you - the skinny heels and the plastic jewelry are a let down. She is a beautiful doll and I see those clothing pieces being used for all kinds mix and match.
Girl yes completely agree! We are so in sync Sis! Hope you’ll do a review too. 🤗🤗
@ oh I’m definitely doing one on her. 🥰
Oh wow. I almost preordered her, but backed away. Now I’m glad I waited. She’s a tad disappointing. So much wasted potential 😬
Oh no! Sorry I dissuaded you - she really is a great doll and the fashion is so nice - for $35, I think she’s worth it but totally get if you think “hard pass”…🤗🤗🤗
She absolutely beautiful but what a shame the bag was scuffed ❤

Gonna be honest: I have no idea who Maeve Reilly is 😅👵🏻The face sculpt is lovely. Too bad about about the other issues and also the price hike 😕
Hahahah! Me either - not until this doll came around. I do like her a lot despite the issues she has. 🤗🤗🤗 Thanks for stopping by Juli!
She is a pretty barbie, I would love to get her but she is to much money 💵
She is pretty! I bet she’ll be reduced at some point - you know how Mattel is. I bet in a few months we’ll see her on sale on the Mattel website. 🤗
She's beautiful but pass on the outfit. Looks like every day influencer vibes to me. Nothing special
🤗🤗🤗 Thanks so much for stopping by and watching and commenting! Very much appreciated! 🤗🤗
