Tonner's Carol Barrie doll allows the owner imaginative play with a simple change of crowning glory: a change of wig. This proves one thing, a change of hairstyle effects a change of mood and tone for the doll. This is something that perhaps the frugal doll buyer can enjoy. Imagine the shelf space saved -- not to mention the money. I chose a basic Carol Barrie blonde haired doll to switch hairstyle to become an Austen heroine. It's an interesting possibility that doll manufacturers should look into.
I first started with the Austen heroine, then shifted brows, eye color. If Carol Barrie is supposedly the actress she is designed to be by Tonner, this wig thing might just work. One more suggestion for doll manufacturers: "mix and match" -- loads of it! Mattel's Barbie is such a worldwide sensation because of this affordable possibilities. It should be the standard for others -- especially if they promise: The Power of Play.
Will I recommend the Carol Barrie doll to others? Yes!
The wig holds with two velcros attached the head.
The wigs are fabulous and the mold of the doll's face is a classic.
They come as a basic doll and wig (Tonner also sells wigs outside of this line from long blondes, redheads, and cropped blondes and brunettes). It's a good buy -- by one, have two!
