BFMC CHINOISERIE RED MOON DOLL | Silkstone Barbie Unboxing and Review 🧧

Hey guys!

Today we are unboxing the Barbie Fashion Model Collection Chinoiserie Red Moon Silkstone Barbie doll. I have seen a lot of people unboxing their Lunar New Year Barbie Collector Signature dolls and I didn’t like her but I wanted something like her. So I bought this beautifully lady. Join me as we unbox her and compare her to the 2021 lunar new year doll.

Such a drastic change from a solid, heavy beautiful doll with a lovely screening and darling Chinoiserie PJ set to a hollow, light, cheap, pixel-face doll with okay clothing. I'm currently trying to snatch doubles (to keep boxed) of my favorite Silkstone Barbies given that I don't believe we will ever see this level of craftsmanship ever again.

To me, she has always been the prettiest of all the Silkstones. I bought her originally at $70, and I just picked up a second one ( I love her that much) for $149. Talk about an increase in value!! She is a a beauty, that is for sure.

I know the face is the same mold but on her it looks oddly re freshing, I may have to get her! Thanks for sharing 👍

She’s so gorgeous! I miss having those cross sell pamphlets/booklets, they always fascinate me

[c.w.]

I’m going to open my box with 2021 Lunar New Year in it now, but I am prepared to send her back because I think the pixelation will be too much for me. I decided to keep Black Widow Barbie, and I just don’t want to amass pixelated dolls that cost close to $100 for me in Canadian dollars. Maybe the technology will improve and we will view these as the dark days of Barbie eyes. Your doll appears to look better in person than the pictures, so she is definitely a good acquisition. She also isn’t a crazy price like some of the others (jealous of your black cocktail dress). I was also looking at the older Chinese New Year Barbie from Around 2005, who has good face paint and the lovely Lea sculpt. I notice her price has gone up on eBay, likely because of LNY comparisons.

Wow! You got her!!! Congratulations! 🎊 She is so lovely!

So yeah ... I got this one when it first came out. I love it! I have just about all of the earlier Silkstones. I loved the basic or "lingerie" dolls and the separate outfits and accessory packs!! All of which Mattel did away with and made all dressed dolls instead ... I hated that! Since then there have been very few Silkstones I've liked. The Cocktail Dress doll, the High Tea and Savories doll, the Hollywood Hostess doll ( to name a few ) I would like to get now, but no way will I pay $200.00 and up for a Barbie doll!! I think it's a shame Mattel is dumping the Silkstones, even though ( in my opinion) they're not as good as they use to be.
As for the new "Lunar New Year" doll ... yuk! The face could be prettier, the hair should be a lot longer, the print should be all over the dress, and I personally hate the bent arm. Absolutely no comparison to the Chinoiserie doll.

Definitely super gorgeous! ^-^ I'm glad you got to have her, and great review! :D

Congratulations Jeffrey on another silkie from the golden era. I wish I had gotten her when she came out, but back then since I could only afford one I opted for her sister Sunset, a Barbie Bazaar exclusive. There was another sister doll as well but I don't remember her name. All 3 are drop dead gorgeous. The difference in quality with this new doll is astounding, Enjoy!

[queenmoreau]

I'm with you. You get better deals- and better quality- buying the vintage collector Barbies on Ebay.

[darrellwallace]

I have this doll!
She's absolutely FABULOUS!
Great review Jeffrey!

[Codyhdoyle]

Omg I’m obsessed and need one.. her eye color with her makeup is just wow! Love her heels too and her bangs are IT. I just wish her top was cropped but that’s just my inner drag saying show more skin. Great choice!❤️

Robert Best, I can't stop thinking of him on Project Runway.

[shrimponthebarbies]

I love her!!! And yeah this line of chinoiserie silkstones is relatively inexpensive on the secondary market. So so pretty!

[annwalcher]

Hi Jeffrey: love all the Chinoiserie dolls- you need Red Sunset and the Barbie Bazaar one - one has a bob with bangs, the BB one has no bangs, past shoulders wave. No comparison with the older Silkstones and articulated. The new Asian one is cute, not on my list. PS- Retinol is only to be used at night😉

[e.d.t.]

Beautiful outfit. They don't make them like they used to.

[stardustoflife]

hahaha the way you shaded xCanadensis 😂

[alexandraegnell]

Wow! I don't collect silkstones (yet 😉) but looking at her and comparing her to more recent dolls... what a stunner she is! A whole other category of doil altogether! Stop showing me these, I can't afford them! 😍🤣

[shannonrenee]

Lovely doll. I may have to get her next! Wonderful review.

[DollsRescued]

WOW! This Barbie is really lovely! The older dolls are really made nice. Indeed! Your Review makes me want one too. ;-)
