to be honest the only reason i bought this doll was because its labelled a jamaican barbie. I love barbie dolls and i am a jamaican so i had to have it.However I do not like the costume. it is not a traditional jamaican costume. I would have preferred to see her wearing a kind of red plaid skirt with a white blouse with plaid trimmings and plaid bandanna or straw hat, maybe holding a basket. The outfit this doll is wearing just looks like a regular dress a slave would wear back in slavery days. The back of the package box says that most jamaicans have ancestors from africa ,and Im glad it specified the word' most ' because the jamaican motto is "out of many one people" There are jamaicans with indian,chinese,and caucasianbackground as well. And for heavens sakes ackee dos not taste anything like eggs, if you want to describe how it looks then you can compare it to scrambled eggs. I like the fact that a jamaican barbie was created ,but i think there is room for improvement.
Thank you!The head was off so I say it had no durability and the child was very disappointed at her birthday, I ordered a second one but do expect a replacement of the first one please the second barbie was okay but the nnfirst was damaged in shipping and it is expensive to ship back, and I had gone several hundred miles to give the toy for a birthday present and wrapped it in the box shipped, so I did not know the head was off until she took it out of the packaging, the dad was going to try to replace, but to return, I have to make a 400 mile trip to retreive any way the seller would replace thise doll?Afterall I did buy a second one to send and hopefully when she opens it up it stays in one piece.Thank you Patty Mcguire PS These Barbies are 40.00 dollars a piece the first one is trash.
