Barbie Collector: Barbie as Lucy #38 - The Operetta Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the 9th doll in the I Love Lucy series by Matel. Just one look at her and the episode starts to play in your head. I've always loved Lucy and collecting the dolls from the I Love Lucy show has been a lot of fun. I wait anxiously every year for the new addition just like a little kid :o)The doll looks just like Lucille Ball's character Lucy Ricardo, I just love these dolls and I'm sure all Lucy fans will love them just as much.

I Love Lucy has been charming television viewers since 1951 with 172 hilarious episodes. This nostalgic doll brings back the days of everyone's favorite redhead on television.
Lucille Ball's all-time favorite "I Love Lucy" episode - "The Operetta" - has wacky Lucy Ricardo borrowing money from her woman's club treasury. Then the group needs the money to stage an operetta! To save the $100 royalty fee, Lucy writes her own musical about Lily of the Valley (Ethel) and Prince Lancelot (Ricky) whose love is thwarted by the gypsy queen, Camille (Lucy). Lucy rents costumes and scenery using a postdated check, assuming the money to cover the expenses will be available in the club account after the show! Naturally, the production is interrupted by moving men repossessing the sets and costumes and Lucy is carried off stage, singing and slapping her tambourine. Doll measures approximately 13.47" tall.

I Love Lucy Playing Card Gift Tin Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Many "special-themed" sets of playing cards have the pictures only on the back sides of each card (all identical), or only on the Q,K,J & Joker cards. This set has two decks: one called "Friends" (Lucy & Ethel), and every card has a great scene from one of their shows. The other deck has an oval "portrait" of Lucy in one of her funniest outfits or poses on all 52 cards (different on each one.) These have kept my handicapped sister, who is a great fan of Lucy, occupied for hours on end. She remembers every show, and the pictures are hysterical. A fantastic gift for any Lucy fan.

Barbie Collector I Love Lucy: Lucy Tells the Truth Doll Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The latest doll in the I Love Lucy Barbie line is almost as cute as the others...her face looks sort of "wild-eyed", but that's because of the episode it is from. Lucy was scared of the knife throwing act. Anyway, her look is relevant and cute but not quite as cute as other dolls in the series. It's really funny though. I think they did a good job on the design of it. I picked this one out in a store rather than order online because each doll varies in hair and facial expressions, and I picked out the best one I could find.
Her outfit is cute, and her hair is nicely done. It's elaborately curled. She has earrings on that are cute. There are cardboard knife handles sticking out of the board behind her. The one thing I can't understand is why Barbie dolls since the 90s are so spare in their packaging and leave out some details. You get cardboard items/accessories instead of plastic or fabric most of the time. In the episode, Lucy is memorably holding a scarf, which you can even see pictured on the doll box. Would it have hurt the company to add a small piece of fabric to the doll's hand...it would have looked better and added a nice touch. Especially for the price they charge. Interestingly enough, some sites are charging more than this one, but we found it cheaper in the store we went to. You have to shop around, but if you can't find it, Amazon is probably the best place to order it from.
I hope in future Lucy dolls, they add more details like the (missing) scarf. I would have rated this 5 stars if they had included that important detail.
Worth buying if you collect them as we do.
