Its a pretty doll but I just don't get 'Francie' out of it. Francie was carefree and spirited, this seems like a cold statue with her hairstyle. I will probably keep collecting the real thing because they cannot ever be improved upon, even 40+ years later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-33640819758377807782011-04-15T00:55:44.513-04:002011-04-15T00:55:44.513-04:00I adore her outfit and as for the face up -- with ...I adore her outfit and as for the face up -- with Mattel there is often quite a bit of change between promo and production. That goes for the outfit and hair as well actually. I'm waiting to see the production doll. She's on a long "Wait-N-See" list with the Russian themed Silkstones, the Grace Kelly Silkstones and some of the vinyl collector Barbies. But I remain hopeful!!!<br />LauraLAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-5934940958937571632011-04-14T13:46:57.270-04:002011-04-14T13:46:57.270-04:00@Vin: I rely on readers like to to gather extra in...@Vin: I rely on readers like to to gather extra info for me.

Her eyes are just so lifeless and dull. You'd find the exact same eye decals on a regular playline doll. Barbie Silkstones are interesting because they're somewhat different than the originals, while she on the other hand, just feels like a boring rehash of the original.Aubrey Silverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106752101508829876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-73432367575326317042011-04-10T17:52:46.203-04:002011-04-10T17:52:46.203-04:00So kind of Sandi to honor her advertised price.
