I would have been absolutely OBSESSSSSSED with this doll if you'd handed it to me as kid. As it stands I don't really collect dolls as an adult, but I still think she's absolutely gorgeous!
I bought this doll at Walmart back in the day. As a lover of ancient Egypt, buying her was a must. I was super obsessed with her and I still am. I love her crown, bracelets and neck piece. I do wish they would've added some earrings to her look and that her shoes would've been a little more authentic. She is still one the most beautiful and unique Barbie dolls that I own. I named mine Nefertari. Unfortunately mine is not in the best condition, but I still love her. ❤
I’m still so amazed by how many dolls I come across in my research that I like are in your collection and we have the same opinions on them 😁 (great minds think alike😉) The Dolls of the World collection is so iconic and the Princesses of the World collection was one of my favorite collections with this doll on my checklist to get 😊 I always loved how uniquely different these dolls looked compared to other dolls of the time 🙂 I love a good face that stands out ❤ I’m also surprised by the microbraids on her and why they chose not to use them with any dolls besides collector dolls before 2020 like you mentioned 🤔 They’ve made so many sales ever since they started making play line dolls with regular hair types, instead of just silky straight basic hair 🫤 I tend to be drawn to the textured hair since it gives some of them so much personality and adds to their individual beauty 💗 Besides that, you have a gorgeous model with an amazing outfit and I hope to add her to my collection someday too ✨💖✨
@@Ms.D-loves-minis3 Thank you Ms D! I’m glad you love the Princess DOTW too! 😄 This line was just something else. I remember wanting them badly back in the day. I don’t think I’ll be getting more of them-can you imagine, the amount of shelf space I would need to house 2 dozen dolls in ball gowns?! Maybe it’s for the best 😅 But outside of the Princess collection, there are other DOTW that I want. I know right, unfortunately Mattel didn’t really care much about hair diversity during this time period. 😕 you have no idea the LENGTHS I had to go through to give my dolls textured hair. I ruined a lot of dolls from the experience, but I also learned a whole lot about doll hairstyling. 😆 But gladly attitudes changed eventually and I’m glad we see the diversity we see today. While Barbie still has problems nowadays, at the very least she’s doing diversity better than she ever did before
@@asherbarbara9 I totally understand that struggle with giving your dolls a little bit of textured hair 😁 I still do it today when I don’t feel the hair she has is right for her 🙃 My husband just smiles and says “That’s nice” and then tells me I can’t buy any more dolls 😆 when he knows he’s the one texting me pics of dolls to make sure I don’t already have her before he buys me another one he found on sale 🤪 He spoils me way too much 😊 But thankfully, like you said, we have a few more options now, and a little less stress when styling our dolls for their photo shoots 😉

So stunning
You know a lot about Ancient Egypt!
Haha thanks 😅 I get a bit nerdy sometimes and I LOVE Ancient History

The Dolls of the World collection is so iconic and the Princesses of the World collection was one of my favorite collections with this doll on my checklist to get 😊 I always loved how uniquely different these dolls looked compared to other dolls of the time 🙂 I love a good face that stands out ❤
I’m also surprised by the microbraids on her and why they chose not to use them with any dolls besides collector dolls before 2020 like you mentioned 🤔 They’ve made so many sales ever since they started making play line dolls with regular hair types, instead of just silky straight basic hair 🫤 I tend to be drawn to the textured hair since it gives some of them so much personality and adds to their individual beauty 💗

@@asherbarbara9 btw, I don’t know when you changed your pic for your channel, but it’s really nice, and fits your personality very nicely ✨💖✨
@@Ms.D-loves-minis3 I’m glad u like it Ms D! Unfortunately it’s still a work in progress. I’ll probably change it again soon 😅
Who did you use as her body doner? 🤔
wow the gold dress looks very Marilyn Monroe to me
Good call! I knew that dress looked familiar…I just couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it reminded me of 🤔
