I only gave it 5 stars for the Ken doll, Dec 4, 2022 The barbie doll is nice but not all that great. Her dress is gorgeous i'd admit but her face is a bit messy. She looks drunk or high and the very dark lipstick with pale skin thing is not working either. Her face is quite plain actually once you take away the dreadful dark lipstick. But her hair is gorgeous. Long, ash blonde, and flowy. Worth the buy? I don't think she is, but the ken doll is.
THe ken doll is gorgeous! Probably the best looking ken doll i've seen by far. Love the long brown hair, open shirt outfit, body built, face mold, and everything. He is worth the 80 dollars alone.

Ken & Barbie are the cover of a historical romance., Jun 20, 2023 This is one of the few Ken dolls that has sex appeal. Perhaps it is the five o'clock shadow, or his swash-buckling black pants, the black belt and piratical soft cotton white shirt, or his long brown hair that looks like he just stepped out of the wind, or maybe the aggressive pose - whatever, it works. Barbie is beautiful with her long flowing, slightly tousled blond hair, a look of vulnerability in her eyes and seductive pose, and the violet blue dress that falls off her shoulders. I've never read Jude Deveraux's The Raider, but this set makes me think that Ken is anatomically correct and their night has just begun. Fun - just looking at the set is engaging. Durable - mine will remain in perfect condition because I'm a collector. If a child plays with the set, the first thing to go will be the shoes, the rest will follow. Educational - Can be used to teach a child about the clothing of the era, pirates, romance. Victoria Tarrani

Beautiful and sexy!, Jun 3, 2023 I have to agree with the person who said the pictures of these dolls don't do them justice. Barbie looks much more beautiful in person than in the pictures. Her dress is amazing--the shade of blue is gorgeous! I think Ken is too muscular, but I know that most men in romance novels are like that. What really got me about this giftset is how sexy these dolls are! The looks in their eyes are smoldering! A very HOT giftset!

Wonderful Scene, Nov 16, 2022 I am an adult collector of Barbies. I have never read this novel, but when showing the picture of this set to my mother, she absolutely loved the colors in Barbie's dress, and wanted to buy it for me. The picture, wherever you may have seen it does not do this set justice. It is absolutely beautiful, and even though I have never been a romance book reader, after receiving this set, it will be the next book I read. In my opinion, a Barbie and Ken that would inspire someone to read a book because it is such a fine set, definently deserves all the five stars it can get.

WOW finally a Ken for Barbie to Fall for!!!, Aug 30, 2023 As a writers and reader of romance novels, I was very exited to see this doll release (hope they make it a series of dolls - I mean, Viking Set, Cowboy set, Pirate Set, Victoria set, Scottish set, Irish set....endless Romance covers to reproduce they might even pick out specific covers and do them!!). The pictures do not do them wonders. So as a lover of romance covers and a collect of Barbie this is one of the ultimate sets. The quality is exquisite, the details so lovingly done. Oh, sigh, wish I had this Ken when I was a little girl instead of the yellow pool table fuzz head Ken!!So big girls and small who love romance, this is the PERFECT gift set!!
