as Snowflake Doll in The Nutcracker Collector Edition - Classic Ballet Series (1999)

I wanted to write this review to let others know about her strange flexibility: Her arms and her legs have no bending joints at all, but are all left in an elegant stretch with delicate curves by the hands and feet. The arms and legs can move up an down and all around from the shoulders and hips (the legs are able to do all sorts of splits and they move fluently), but it's the BALL joint at the waist that makes this doll so delightful as a ballet doll; This joint at her waist makes Barbie able to do a number of beautiful ballet-like poses and introduces a different kind of flexibility that I've not seen ever with American dolls, especially Barbie. This joint, coupled with her long, easy to move legs, makes this doll very fun to play with! I should note the shoes (which are made of a rubbery material) come off easily even when tied and can get lost in no time. The dress is in two pieces - a top and a tutu skirt. Her hair is pretty enough; she has a loose bun of somewhat curly magnitude, and teeny tiny curls for bangs. She looks just as she does in the pictures basically. Definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking to play with her, either roughly or however you want, because she'll hold up like any Barbie doll should! **NOTE: I made a similar review for Barbie as Marzipan, because these dolls are completely identical in terms of how they move (I copied and pasted my last review and made alterations for the appearance).

I got this barbie for my new granddaughter Clara, named for the main character in the Nutcracker! It's beautiful and a great price! It is of course a collectable so her parents can decide if she can play with it when she's old enough.

She was perfect in her box & made a superb gift after we saw Nutcracker Ballet! My Child loved her!!

My granddaughter loved it!

מדהים 🥰
