Princess of Imperial Russia

I collect dolls that reflect our family heritage, Celtic for me and Polish/Russian for my husband, that being said this is the most beautiful doll in my collection. The quality is top notch, the dress is simple and elegant and the whole effect is that of a beautiful Russian lady. The doll itself has a gorgeous face with a lovely thick braid and graceful pose. These are collector dolls, I would never think of changing the clothes or taking out the braid. She is a perfect addition to my collection.

Very beautiful doll. Mint condition.

We purchased a few different Barbies in this theme and the Imperial doll allowed for a contrast in the costumes if the time. In particular the headdress is so different than those found in the other dolls. It arrived just as expected and shown in the images.

This is my third addition to my Princess of the World collection and by far is the most authentic. Her lovely blonde hair is barided in an elegant sideswept braid and the style of her dress is accurate( I'm Russian-American and I should kno. The detail of the red boots is another plus; as my previous two dolls from this series spotrted the standard " Barbie Pump shoes" . I appreciate the simpler packaging, as my Princess of Imperial Russia doll was MUCH easier to remove than were the previous two dolls I'd purchased.

she is a replica of a Russian Princess of ancient time before world war ! the color the style of her dress the headress are all fantastic and see the beauty of her face ..wow! a real russian

Came right on time and was precisely as depicted. Super satisfied!

I am an adult collector who currently collects the Princesses of the World line. This review is for the Princess of Imperial Russia. Like others have said, Mattel didn't do the best job in terms of her costume in regards to accuracy. She isn't dressed exactly like a 19th century grand duchess. But if you're not picky about spot on historical accuracy that probably won't bother you. I think she still looks regal in her own way. Who says simple can't be regal? That's my two cents on the issue of her dress. My favorite part of her outfit is her red skirt with the gold floral pattern. Her red boots are awesome and unique for a barbie. The inaccuracy of her costume is made up with her face. I think Mattel nailed her face with her blue eyes and blonde hair. She looks authentically Russian. The only part I dislike is her crown. It is too big and gaudy looking. Despite the issue with her costume, I am glad I added her to my collection. Historically inaccurate barbies need love too in my opinion.

Beautiful Russian Barbie doll. Striking face. Doll box in perfect condition for collecting.

Fantastica nell’ aspetto e curata nei dettagli.

Comperata dopo un viaggio in Russia dove non son riuscita a trovare qualcosa di simile per una bambina. ``E arrivata bene, ha il prezzo medio delle Barbie e si presenta bene e rifinita come comperata al negozio. Consegna puntuale.
