Customer Reviews

This Barbie is for The Birds
I'm not a Barbie collector. I don't know what such collectors look for in a Barbie, but I can tell you this, expert care and attention was given to this release and it shows.

There's no denying the camp value of this piece. It was the main reason why I wanted to make the purchase. However, what cemented the deal was the execution. The amazing detail in the hair style which mimics Tippi's bun and curls. The detailed jewelry and handbag. The re-creation of the original costume. And of course the evocative packaging.

The box is clear on four sides and black crows have been printed on the sides and top front to give the impression that poor Tippi-Barbie is being attacked. The actual birds on the doll along with the ones printed on the back drop complete the illusion. Whether intended or not, the various methods used seemed to pay tribute to the varied ways Hitchcock portrayed the birds in his classic film.

Obviously this is not a doll for the little ones to play with. It's part of the Black Label collection which is described as "Sensational dolls designed for the adult collector" on the back of the box. I doubt few of these will ever be removed from their boxes as the presentation is done so well.

Unusual. Daring. Campy. Expertly executed.

What a surprisingly apt way to celebrate this Hitchcock masterpiece.

This is awesome!!!!!
This is fantastic! I love Hitchcock AND Barbie! This is the perfect collectable for me. I hope they come out with more Hitchcock Barbies! Vertigo, Psycho, Marnie, Rear Window or Dial M for Murder.... who ever came up this is a genius!

Of course these are collectables.... adults will be the people interested in buying them.

collector Hitchcock brother LOVES it!
It's amazingly detailed, right down to her stylish outfit and Mona Lisa smile as the birds attack her...the only reason I have no durability rating is that my collector brother will never take it out of the box! Highly recommended. Piece of art.
