Barbie Inspiring Women Kristi Yamaguchi Collectible Doll in 1992 Winter Olympics Fashion

I used her for my Glinda doll

Not only is she gorgeous, but her outfit is gorgeous too! She doesn't look like Kristi Yamaguchi, though.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mattel Barbie is a staple in toy quality, standard, advanced technology and the Kristi Yamaguchi doll is no exception. Having articulation is areas like the kneesand elbows are always a welcome to these collectible dolls. Quality of fabric, hair and rhe facial painting and technology to represents the image of Kristi is unbelievably good. I didnt expect less but very appreciative to the high quality products Mattel puts out. Playability is there as well my daughter has her barbies, dance, drive and cook lol sge has those articulated parts that help in playability as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kristi Yamaguchi Barbie Inspiring Women Doll is an excellent collection to Barbie! It’s absolutely perfect in quality and has very realistic details right down to the cute mole! The outfit is very gorgeous and well made! Doll is bendable, poses very well, and that makes my little girl happy! Great Barbie and it’s happy girl approved!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What can more can I say? I’ll let the product speak for itself. This beautiful representation of Kristi is incredible. She’s in a beautiful shimmery leotard, skates and even a gold ribbon in her hair - just as she wore it back then! She is flexible and can move as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Inspiring Women Kristi Yamaguchi doll for review. The doll is articulated so posing her in artistic skate poses is nice. The black and gold leotard is pretty nice. The skates are good quality too. Her hair is gelled into a ponytail with a gold ribbon in her hair. Her face paint is a great depiction of Kristi. I do see a couple of dots of red paint from the lipstick that errantly are on her chin. This is disappointing since everything else is so lovely. She has opaque round plastic earrings that are cute. She comes with a plastic bouquet of flowers. The photos on the box are nice. Overall very pleased with Kristi.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Barbie is a very good replica for the skater. The bending joints are an Added plus for play. My little girl loves playing with her and dressing her in different outfits. She is very durable and well made.

My daughter loves adding to her Barbie collection each year. This new addition, inspired by Krsti Yamaguchi, is a beautiful and welcome addition. The pictures don't do her justice.

Really resembles Kristi when she won her Olympic Gold. I bought this for a figure skater. She and her friends at the rink think the doll should have tan tights to be more accurate. But I can see the tights would get caught in the knee joints. The bouquet is nice, but why NO GOLD MEDAL??? Overall, 5 stars.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Kristi Yamaguchi Barbie is a delightful doll and is highly detailed. The collector aspect of the doll is very appealing for those that would like to display and admire the effort made to make this doll look realistic down to the beautiful outfit, flowers, detailed hands and knees. The hairdo is exceptional the way it curls and flows and the gorgeous face that highly resembles Kristi! This is one of the best looking Barbies I have seen and should help to inspire young girls and women. Now aside from looking like a collector Barbie I found that this doll is also well made and able to be played with by a young child. It is sturdy and simple to pose with joints that articulate fabulously as it’s being played with and letting that young imagination of a child transfer themselves and Barbie to the ice skating rink.

Beautiful doll. I love her outfit, and am surprised in the detail down to mole/freckles on her face. I don’t like the mtm legs, however as an athlete, those seem correct depiction as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent collection barbie, perfect quality my daughter loved it. Its just perfect all the details in it also great packaging. The outfit is gorgeous and very chic. Its for sure her favorite barbie..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] She is beautiful! I love that they added her to the Inspiring Women series. She worked so incredibly hard and saw such success in her career and I love that she is recognized for that. Little girls need to see more of these inspiring women and hear their stories. My daughter didn’t know who she is, so it was a great opportunity to watch some documentaries and relive her beautiful routines. I love that the articulation allows my daughter to create the varied poses she sees Kristi perform on the ice. I just wish the leg sculpt on the doll were a little more true to form. Kristi was toned and athletic and the doll’s leg sculpt is a bit big and bulky. Other than that, the doll looks great, and accurate down to the mole on her chin!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mattel's Barbie "Inspiring Women" series is a fabulous line dedicated to recognizing female role models. Being able to give my daughter a Barbie Doll of Kristi Yamaguchi was a great experience for me, as the parent. Just being able to give her a doll like this and show how women can be represented in such a way based on their achievements, was truly inspiring for her. As for the doll itself, it's really well made, as expected with any Barbie doll from Mattel. It's got great pose-ability. The clothing is very accurate to an outfit she made during world competitions. The flower bouquet accessory was a nice touch as well. The package itself is well designed and looks great by itself. This is another great addition to a series (Inspiring Women) that I can only hope continues into the future. Plenty of exceptional and deserving women await their chance!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kristi Yamaguchi is an excellent addition to Barbie’s Inspiring Women Collection. A great recognition to this Figure Skater who is also an excellent role model. A tribute to an Olympic Gold winner, both US and World Champion.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Kristi Yamaguchi Inspiring Barbie doll is great! It shows girls that they can do anything they want to. This doll has movable joints to pose her anyway you want to skate on the ice. The only thing that wasn’t good about the doll is the hair is really stiff.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Mattel Kristi Yamaguchi Barbie® Inspiring Women™ Doll is cute. I have her displayed up on the shelf. I like that she has movable limbs but also comes with a stand to show her off. Her accessories are also so adorable and are easy to play with.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This doll is childhood memories in a box! She is part of the Inspiring Women collection. This doll is well crafted and really looks like Kristi. We won't be taking her out of the box, but you can see see the attention to detail from the flowers to the skates. I love her story on the back of the box. Well done Barbie!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Kristi Yamaguchi doll is a well-articulated likeness of the famous figure skater. The face is detailed, and the hair is of good quality. The numerous points of articulation make for a highly posable doll, which is especially fitting for a figure skater. High quality for collectors, and fun for children to pose.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Kristi Yamaguchi Barbie, from the Barbie Inspiring Women line is fabulous. Not only is the doll beautiful and will inspire all, the doll's physical quality is through the roof! This is such a great line. The doll's features are absolutely amazing! The articulation is outstanding!!!! Kristi can move with great ease! You can pose her doing her moves that made her the first Asian American Woman, to win a Winter Olympic Gold Medal!! Oh, and her costume!!!! It is superb! The quality is couture!!!!! It looks just one from the 1992, Winter Olympics! The skates are soft! Looking through the clear box, I thought they would be hard, but they are soft! Easy to put on and take off! Now, let's talk about the doll's makeup! The detail!!!!!! The eyeliner and red lipstick looks so beautiful on this doll! YAY!!!!! I love this doll!!!! I posed her with a few of my vintage Barbie dolls and a vintage Barbie playset! Kristi is happy to skate with them! Deborah *** I am well over 17 years by many years! I've been a doll collector for over 40 years! I only saw a submit button with my daughter's name in it. My child did not review this doll. I did! YAY!!!!!
