A beautifull doll March 10, 2010 SE van Oosten (NeEtherlands) I am very pleased to have finally received my highly appreciated expansion of my Hitchcock memorabilia collection. Carefully packed by sender, wherefor I am gratefull. Surely like a diamond.
Great reminder for The Birds February 4, 2010 Alfred's Buddy This Barbie brought back fond memories of Alfred Hitchcock movies. Our friends think it's kinda funny. Thanks for the memories. The Birds Barbie is Great!!
A Gift For A Barbie Collector January 31, 2010 Bonita J. Stanwick (USA) I bought this as a gift for a friend who loves this kind of stuff. After seeing how cool it is, I bought two more! They recipients adored it. They arrived in a prompt and timely manner and were packaged very nicely. I would recommend this vendor as a reputable dealer with quality products.
This is great! January 24, 2010 Teddy D. (Louisville, KY) My cousin is a huge Hitchcock fan so I gave her this for Christmas. She loved it!! She had never heard of the "black label" collection before, but I know she's looking at this collection now. She also loves Lucy, so I'd bet she also now has the Lucy/Ethel set. Great product!! We need more original items like this on the market, especially when they're directed at baby boomers. Mattel... you hit a home run with "black label"!
The ultimate gift for the Hitchcock fan who thinks he/she has seen it all! December 21, 2009 Paulo Leite (Lisbon, Portugal) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Well...
I saw this "Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds" Barbie doll and I knew I had to have it! I love Alfred Hitchcock and this Barbie was certainly a great idea for a great homage! The recreation of Tippi Hedren is great... the falling hair after the bird attack... the suit... the black birds... everything is so evocative, this is indeed the perfect toy homage.
Naturally, this is a collector's item, therefore, it is not supposed to played with. Children will probably ask "what happened to her? Why the birds?" But the answer is simple: THE BIRDS is simply one of the greatest films ever! I could not think of a greater honor: to be released as a Barbie doll.
I'm not a doll collector... by this one captured my imagination and I am already going to have to control myself when Mattel releases more Hitchcock dolls. And I already have my favorite ones on my mind:
REAR WINDOW - This Barbie recreates Lisa Freemont when she she first appears.
VERTIGO - This Barbie recreates Madeleine Elster with the hairdo and the gray suit she wore when she died... and the necklace, naturally...
PSYCHO - This Barbie comes in tones of gray (since the film is in black & white). This is a naked Barbie that comes in a shower... screaming! LOL
Other Barbies I'd love to see...
Gloria Swanson from SUNSET BOULEVARD - The final scene... "Alright, Mr. DeMille..."
Anita Ekberg from LA DOLCE VITA - The fountain scene!
Joan Crawford from JOHNNY GUITAR
Bette Davis from JEZEBEL or NOW, VOYAGER
Cyd Charisse from SINGIN' IN THE RAIN... the beautiful dream number.
I guess I'd better stop now... or I'll go bankrupt. LOL!
