This Sleeping Beauty doll by Barbie, is one from a collection known as the children's story book collection. I believe Sleeping Beauty is one of 5 different collectors story book Barbie's.

I am not much of an expensive Barbie collector but for some reason this beauty caught my eye. I admired this doll as I stared her down in the glass case they caged her in at Toys R' Us.

I couldn't figure out if it was those gorgeous sad looking eyes, as if saying 'rescue me', or it was those long, long locks of honey golden hair, curled up like Shirley Temple, that told me I needed to buy her.

Sadly though, I could not take her home with me today, because the poor doll in the glass case was not available, and the manager wouldn't allow me to purchase the display model; as they called her.

I walked by slowly, and gave her a last glance. She could not be mine; not today, but soon.

I went home and found her online at www.ebay.com for nearly 30% less than what the toy store wanted for the doll.

When Sleeping Beauty Barbie was shipped, I opened the box and smiled as I saw Sleeping Beauty looking at me once again with those big sad blue eyes.

Appearance:

Sleeping Beauty is gorgeous. She comes with a beautiful blue dress, like the one in the book. The dress has a golden lace that looks as if it has danced around the blue fabric.

Sleeping Beauty also comes with a small rose which she holds in her hand. She is captivating, and beautiful.

I contemplated on whether or not I should take her out of her box. I knew that if I left her in the box her value would increase, but I also knew I would not be able to enjoy her as much as if she were taken out and put on display.

Sleeping Beauty Barbie came with a stand that says 'Sleeping Beauty' where she can stand on it for display. The stand hooks around her waist for security. I posed her in the pose I thought she looked best in, and placed her on my dresser, where she now resides.

For Children?

Admired your piece, even though I myself have never played with dolls--inflatable or otherwise. ;-)

Aww! This doll sounds so sweet! My daughters always end up getting these kinds of Barbie Collector dolls from friends and relatives for birthdays & holidays. I really love them. A lot of them end up on top of the piano for me to admire! LOL. :) This is a lovely review, Melissa! Thanks for sharing! MZ
