Celebrate the holiday season in style with the Barbie Collector 2011 Holiday Doll. Dressed in an opulent emerald gown featuring elegant gold embroidery, Barbie is ready for holiday balls and festivities. Ideal for the adult collector, but suitable for children six and up, this special-occasion Barbie's fabulous dress and accessories will give your collection a festive touch.
Elegant and Contemporary Look for Holiday 2011
This glamorous Barbie is ready to attend the winter ball in her floor-length emerald gown with slim golden lame underskirt, intricate gold embroidery, and sparkling jewel accents. The gown features a strapless bodice with a stylish, one-shoulder wrap. Completing the look are gold open-toed heels, glamorous gold chandelier earrings, and sparkly gold eye shadow. Barbie's festive ensemble features dazzling detail--elegantly styled long golden curls, flawless makeup, and an impeccable manicure.
An Ideal Holiday Doll for Barbie Lovers and Collectors
Barbie's packaging makes her an ideal collectable. With the elegant ballroom backdrop and Barbie's photo-worthy pose, the entire package attracts the eye and imagination. The removable cardboard prop beneath her skirt keeps her dress round and voluminous. Our testers noted that this Barbie does not include a display stand, so collectors will want to keep her in the box to preserve her look. If you are giving this as a present for a younger child to display out of the box, we suggest purchasing a separate Barbie doll-sized stand.
Out of the box, our testers found that this Barbie may be challenging as a toy for young children. The position of her arms, which are not straight as most Barbies' arms, may make her hard to maneuver. In addition, her hair is heavily gelled to keep her curls in place and is not really suitable for brushing or playing with.

Another Great Entry In The Series
By Talvi
The 2011 Holiday Barbie has all the Hallmarks of the series: a lovely Barbie in special collector packaging and fantastic gown.
This year's Barbie comes in a rare slim gold underskirt (rather than the usual large hemmed ball gown) with flowing green velvet-like overskirt. The overskirt is decorated with gold embroidery and jewel details. Her hazel eyes with their sparkly gold eyeshadow make a nice match with the golden chandelier earrings. She wears matching gold open toed shoes under the skirt. This is definitely one of the most sophisticated looking of all the Holiday Barbies.
As with all of the recent Collector Holiday Barbies, she really isn't intended to be deboxed or played with. The doll doesn't come with a stand and her hair is heavily gelled to keep the curls in place (not really suitable for brushing or you destroy the style). As well, the back of the dress lacks the details of the front and doesn't have any of the volume when removed (previous year Holiday Barbies had cardboard inserts under the dresses to keep them 'fluffed out' and full in the hemline). Her dress is sewn into the box to keep a perfect display - it isn't quite as lovely when removed and without the restraints to keep it in place. She also has the model muse body - which means she isn't pivotal and can't hold any other pose. There were two very slight, barely visible pulls in the gold part of the dress on my doll.
Since the box is heavily decorated with the "arriving at the Christmas Ball" theme to match the dress, I'd recommend this for those who enjoy the entire display without wanting to debox. If you are giving this as a present for a younger child to display out of the box, you'll need to get a Barbie-sized doll stand separately.
In all, a lovely addition to the series (though I do wish they would include display stands for those of us who like to remove our Barbies from the box).

Beautiful Collector's Piece
By R. Sperling
The 2011 Holiday Barbie is stunning. Her green and gold gown is elegant and sophisticated. I especially like her earrings. The box provides a lovely background and her body is enchantingly posed. As a collector's piece she is a fabulous addition to the holiday series and would be lovely on any display shelf.
I, however, am not a collector. When I look at a doll (or any toy) I want to know if it will make a child's eyes light up with wonder. I think that this barbie has the beauty and elegance to appeal to any little girl and her dreams of being the belle of the ball. The doll's hair isn't meant to be played with, it will quickly lose it's perfect style, and her body is molded with one arm bent so that her position is fixed, but for any girl who loves dolls this barbie has all the beauty and sparkle to bring joy and delight to the imagination.

Beautiful Addition to Holiday Series
By Marijr
I get these dolls for my seven-year old niece to play with, not for display. I've been getting them every year so she'd have something to play with at my house.
This is one of the best yet. Normally I hold on to them until Christmas, but when she saw a picture of this year's doll, she begged me to let her have it early. The hair, makeup, dress...are beautiful & there's a retro feel to the overall look. The attention to detail is impecable. A must-have, whether you're a collector or looking for a Barbie for a child.
