Great!

I just received my Bessie Coleman doll. It looks just like the picture on line including the packaging. I am very happy. I bought this doll. I'd like to know when the other dolls in this series will be available?

Bessie Coleman

My daughter brought to my attention that she was going to choose Bessie Coleman as her African-American owner for Black History Month at her school wax museum play. So we decided to make a costume for her to honor. Bessie Coleman.

Stunning historical doll

I think this was an incredibly well made Barbie. It’s really inspirational that they’ve made a line of historical figures worth learning about and celebrating. Her hair is stunning and period appropriate

Hit!!!

My daughter loves her. She didn't want to take it out the box, but I promised to get her another one. She loves how every detail is correct, down to the clothes. Before opening, I gave her a brief summary of Bessie Coleman. We went out to grab her a plane so she could play airport. This barbie was a hit definitely recommend, especially if you have a child who loves history.

Very different from your typical Barbie

pros: Cute collectible Barbie that my daughter enjoyed even more after reading her inspirational story on the back of the box. At first she thought the Barbie was a character pilot from a movie we had just watched about Navy pilots. Then, when she realized this was a real person…her eyes grew big and she was amazed at the story. She became saddened that Bessie was killed bu the very thing she loved to do. Thus a true hero. Some minor cons: To remove from the box this toy required significant strength, large scissors, and patience. While playing with the Barbie my daughter needed adult assistance to remove the boots and hat and the clothes are not easily removed. Summary: As with all her Barbies, they get regular showers and change clothes often and go for rides in the car and sometimes sit by the campfire some nights. This one will be no exception and my daughter is looked forward to spending time with her inspirational new Barbie!
