My Collection Part Ten: Keith Haring X Barbie Doll

I picked this doll up fairly recently for a good price, and she gets her own post, because she's relatively new, so this is an informal review as well. Also, I'm selling off her entire outfit, so I took some shots of her redressed. I bought her for her face, which I think is fierce, without coming off as snooty. I have yet to see a Goddess mold face that I don't like. She has decent body articulation, too. And I'm hereby naming her Kelly.








Her knees were covered with cardboard. No idea why.

And redressed. Her hands don't seem to be removable, so I had her drape the faux leather jacket stylishly over her shoulder, since the sleeves are too tight to go over her hands. Girl knows how to werk.



 

So what do you think of her? What do you think of her outfits? She might be losing her black nail polish, too.

Total dolls: 41

  1. I like her. She looks Beyonce pretty. I can see her on a runway or a red carpet.

  2. Wait!? Is this a new Barbie? Like now? I didn't think they made them this nice anymore!
    I like the way the streaks in her hair make it look striped but I guess you'd lose that if you took her ponytail down.
    She's lovely

    1. She was released in 2019, so she is pretty new. She's definitely a standout in Mattel's current lines. I'm planning to leave her hair as is for as long as possible; I do like the streaks.

  3. I'm glad you like her, and her new outfit, jacket and all. :) There were a couple of things I might have kept from her old outfit, but I think I'll get the most money selling the outfit complete. I also didn't mention in my post that the black heels of her boots left black marks on the white foamcore underneath, so I wouldn't keep those anyway.

    1. Thank you. I was planning to put the outfit on eBay, but haven't yet. I'd rather avoid the eBay fees, if you were interested. I probably wouldn't get the outfit for sale there until over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, at least.

  5. Yeah, same feelings for Goddesses here! This one looks great. Her outfit is ok, but I'm not sure if it suits her so much. On the other hand, I love how you've dressed her. This girl rocks!

  7. Lovely doll Barb, and I like the outfit you have given her much better than the one she came with. Her hair style is on-trend and looks very soft too. :)
    Big hugs,

  8. She's gorgeous! The Goddess head sculpt is one of my favourites, and I also don't think I've seen a doll with that sculpt that I haven't liked. I love that her makeup is a quite detailed, with a different color on the lower lash line. Recently Mattel hasn't been putting much detail into the dolls' makeup.

    I don't mind the original outfit, and I do actually like the top. Everything together is too much, but it could work if the pieces are worn separately. She looks gorgeous in her new outfit too.

    Hope you're doing well and wish you a lovely rest of the week.

    1. Thank you! Yes, I'm eyeing a few more Goddess mold sculpted dolls to add to my collection, maybe. Her makeup is gorgeous, but she is a collector doll, so that probably helped.

      I like some of the outfit, but it is a lot together. I guess the funky looking people are Keith Haring's signature style, and Mattel just used it *everywhere.* I'm glad that you like her new outfit too, though.

      I hope you're doing well too! Only three more days left this week.

    1. It's a shame that she is expensive for you. She was expensive here for a while too, from second-hand sellers. I'm glad that I found her.
