Miss Klimt

she’s got a new hair style

 

Museum Collection — Gustav Klimt Barbie

I like the face of this Klimt doll,  she is the only one in this Museum collection that made her way to my home. I dont really care for the other 2, the VIN​CENT VAN GOGH has very strange arms, sort like the Cindi Lauper doll. not sure what arms “LEO​NARDO DA VINCI” doll has, she is all dressed up, I cant see if her arms are arcticulated or fixed.

Here is my “Klimt” Barbie, I dont care for her dress, jersey knit is not my thing. but she really has a pretty face:

Barbie museum collection hits eBay

I see them nowhere else, but on eBay. prices range from $39 to $69 plus shipping ($10 to say the least) they never made their way to my wish list, since I am visiting Metropolitan Museum on 25th, maybe I’ll bring one home. I kind like the “Klimt”, as she looks different, and she is not a Mackie. I remember she worn a knitted dress at the Toy Fair –I hate stretchable nylon knits–super cheap materials. If better material is used for actual products, I’ll buy her. —-it’s very sad Mattel uses the cheapest Fabric to make doll dresses. the major cost of a doll dress is Labor cost, not material, so little material is needed for a doll dress, but it takes long time to make them as they are so tiny. A doll dress can be truly a piece of art  if its made of quality fabric with fine craftsmanships.
