DOLL/PLAYSET PARTICULARS AND
THOUGHTS:
In my first impressions article,
I had mentioned that this Barbie the Movie 2023 Barbie in Gold Disco Jumpsuit
HPJ99 had reminded me of my very first Barbie doll gifted to me as a child.
This doll has great sentimental value and importance to me so I decided to do
some research and found that my childhood doll is called: Golden Dream Barbie (#1874)
from 1980! I was really excited to at the very least identify her and to
remember all the feelings that I had when I got her as a Christmas gift back in
the early 80s. Wow! Awesome memories. I can see now why it was important to
include a doll like this in the product line for the movie. It is a glorious
reproduction and representation of such an iconic doll.
I have already touched upon this doll's face sculpt in the
articles that I have done about the other dolls in this product line such as
the Perfect Day Barbie,
the Barbie Plaid
Matching Set Doll, and the Barbie Western Outfit doll.
It is the exact same face with the exact same makeup painted on. Her hairstyle
is more or less the same. She does not have bangs like Perfect Day Barbie. Her
hair is loose, wavy, and parted down the side. A cute detail is what she is
wearing in her hair, the little butterfly wings pseudo hairclip. It reminds me
of the cape/skirt the original doll from the 80s doll came with! Since we do
not get the cape with this doll, the hair accessories is a cute alternative and
trade off for sure.
Her clothes! The golden jumpsuit is so elevated!!! While the
original outfit imbodies the early 80s and the last parts of disco in textured
gold lamé, this updated gold jumpsuit is a great new version that embraces the
70s vibes without looking outdated. Its silver sequins laced in a swirly
pattern over sparkly and shimmery light golden material. It is striking and
subtle all at the same time producing a shade of gold that doesn't overpower
the senses. A look like this has the potential to be timeless even if it has
retro vibes and appeal. I like her gold bracelets and stiletto gold shoes. They
are all a very nice match and fit to the overall appearance enhancing it well.
Daydreaming about posing and displaying her feels like it is
going to be a dream come true! Of course, we will be posing her in the iconic
pose from the movie and trailer, but other scenarios come to mind too as well.
A dance floor full of sound, light, people, and fun comes to mind for sure.
Whatever the scenario, at the center of the theme will be a good time and a
party!

MY DOLL/PLAYSET FROM WALMART:
My Barbie in Gold Disco Jumpsuit Doll Barbie The Movie 2023
(HPJ99) was purchased online from Walmart along with
the $75 Corvette Car replica. Since shortly after the dolls were released for
sale, this one lasted at least 2 to 3 days before she completely sold out
online at Mattel Creations. However, it would appear that she is available to
purchase online from Walmart. (Currently, she is periodically sells out at
Walmart too.) In person, I can't stress how much of a lovely doll she is and I
am very happy to have her in my collection. Now, I just have to get a replica
of my childhood one to make an awesome pairing!
This Barbie the Movie 2023 Barbie in Gold Disco Jumpsuit
Doll (HPJ99) is currently being sold online at Mattel Creations for $50.00, and
Walmart
for $49.97. Both prices are before tax and shipping and handling. Again, I had
to purchase her from Walmart because she wasn't available on Mattel Creations.
It will also appear on online auction too as well like eBay but the prices are
twice and triple the current retail value. If you need it now or it is not for
sale in your area then please purchase wisely.
I will update in the future with further details as more
information becomes available to me.
Are you interested in owning her
too? Well then go here to buy her now!
