BarbieMiss Astronaut Doll Collectible with Silver Suit, Space Boots & Helmet Accessory, 1965 Vintage Repro

A good doll at a good price.Her hair is cut in a short bob and hard gelled into place, so you can easily put or remove the astronaut helmet. If you want the hair to feel like hair, to be softer, and to be able to style it, just shampoo the hair a few times in tepid water and the gel will come off. That's what I did for mine and it still looks fine with the helmet on.She's got an older body type, the type that has a very defined waist, although it does not rotate at the waist.Her costume is adorably retro, although not flashy. I appreciate that the designers didn't try to glam up or make girly scientific equipment. The accents are made of pleather, which will delaminate over time. I'd keep it out of direct sunlight.If you take the outfit off, she'd look cute in a fit and flare sundress.She comes with an American flag, but there's no way for her to hold it. Her hands aren't set to grab and the gloves don't have a way to secure the flag. I would advice against using tape, as it'll damage the pleather over time and become brittle.Box is ok, it protected the product well. The vintage art is cute.

Stunning, beautiful reproduction doll! Bill Greening (designer) outdid himself with this one. The quality is outstanding, very soft canvas material, gloves and boots are accurate tho the og boots had working zippers. That's a minor detail however. The hair/makeup are very close to how the og american girl barbie looked. There is a ton of gel in the hair so if you debox her (like me) you will need to wash the gel out as it's helmet hair lol. Also of note the helmet easily slips on and off do not try to pry it apart (I've seen some YouTubers doing this in their reviews) it could break if you do. All the little details in the outfit, flag and helmet are top notch. She is well worth the price, get her while you can!

I'm the kind of collector that likes to de-box my dolls to display and resytle them, but when my astronaut repro Barbie arrived I decided she was too perfect to take out of her box- this literally never happens to me but she looks SO perfect in there. haha.. I will probably take her out eventually but I think the $55 price tag for this doll is extremely reasonable and she looks like the quality of the dolls that used to be made back in the day. Her outfit is detailed and very well made from what I can tell, and her faceup is flawless! I an so glad I took a chance on her. Turns out Mattel can still deliver!

One of the best Reproduction Barbies I've gotten! Gorgeous face and perfect costume. My only complaint is that stiff hair, but I rinsed it and now it's beautiful!

Love this Barbie. Very cute and articulated

She is beautiful and I would not change anything about her! The box graphics make for a great display. For collectors, thank you to Amazon for sending this doll inside her shipper box from Mattel. That makes a huge difference in this collectible arriving without damage.
