I purchased this doll when it first came out in 2006, and although I didn't have this one when I was a kid this would have been one of my favorites. Most of my dolls and clothes were all stolen when I was 11, and the rest destroyed by flooding so I cherish any late 60s early 70s reproductions Mattel can come up with. This Doll "All that Jazz "is a wonderful reproduction from 1968, and the details that were created down to the real eyelashes on the doll are amazing! You can't go wrong if you can find her still!
I guess if you compare her to some of the Silkstone models maybe she is plain, but really when we were young weren't we happy with our dolls before they become collector items. People still buys these for their children and they are happy with them. "All that Jazz" shouldn't be compared to Silkstone as that is a totally different type of doll. (But that is just my opinion)
Mattel your awesome (I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Intrigue #1470 with a Stacy doll model Long red hair please tied at the side) and possibly Maxi `n Midi #1799 with what doll? I'll let you guys decide....

| This is a beautiful platinum blonde TNT repro from 1968 with an outfit that really resonates with the late 60s mod craze. The colors are incredibly bright,crisp,cheerful and with lots of good vibe going on. |
Lovely recreation !

First, comparing this doll to a Silkstone doesn't make sense. Silkstones are a completely different category, and this doll shouldn't be compared to them. I also disagree with the other reviewer's assertion that the doll looks 'cheap'. I think the doll has a very high-quality look and feel. I purhased two of them, one to debox, so I've evaluated the doll thoroughly.
My critiques are more based on how accurately the doll resembles the original 1968 Twist 'N Turn Barbie and All That Jazz fashion. The fashion is a little bit loose-fitting, but since I don't own the vintage fashion, I don't know how accurate that is. I think it's a lovely fashion, and the reproduction does seem to resemble photos I've seen very closely. It's certainly a lovely outfit.
The doll itself is beautiful, I love the translucent, luminous quality of the vinyl used for the head, and the face paint colors and placement are very accurate to the vintage dolls. The hair color and texture seems to closely match the sheen and color of the "Sun-Kissed" hair color available on the vintage doll. The hair ribbon is different from the type of ribbon used on the vintage doll, but that is a minor quibble.
My only issue with the Twist 'N Turn repro doll is the body. The arms aren't a perfect reproduction, and the legs have the blunted toes that are more similar to late 1980s dolls. I hope that Mattel starts using the body molds that are featured on the 2009 reproduction of the 1971 Malibu Barbie doll from the My Favorite Barbie series. That doll's body sculpting (and the tactile quality of the bendleg mechanism) are much closer to the original.
I also would love to see a reproduction of the 1970 fashion Maxi 'N Midi. I think it should be featured on a repro of the 1970 Dramatic New Living Barbie doll with Titian (red) hair. I would also like to see repros of 1967-1968 Twist 'N Turn Barbie with Summer Sand and Go-Go Co-Co hair colors. I would also like to see the 1969 "Marlo flip" Twist 'N Turn Barbie with platinum blonde hair. 1967-1970 Standard Barbie should also be reproduced, as well as Barbie's family and friend dolls. |
Not the best reproduction...

First, the doll is great. I'm not fond of the stiff bangs, but the face was done quite nicely. The squared shoulders are also not very attractive, but maybe that is how the original was made.
The bad thing about this doll is the clothing. I model dolls a lot and take pictures to display at various locations. The outfit on this doll is bulky and ungiving - it was hard to get a cute close up picture with or without the jacket. The other repro's like the Made for You and the Smasheroo were much better made. |
