She doesn't look bad here, but I didn't like how the plastic-snowflake piece looks on the actual dolls in the store.
Much like the current Ever Afters, who are coming with giant awful plastic chunk accessories, I'd take it right off and see if I couldn't find some lace or something to replace it with.
I haven't seen this one for real at all--I didn't look closely at the picture and assumed that was lace! Plastic is very rarely a good choice, especially on a collector doll.
I tend to be a bit meh on the Holiday Barbies in general. They are on the tackier side. I like the face sculpt and pose choice on this one, though. She looks like she's trying hard not to get involved in a family fight.
Nope, that's a plastic piece. I have no idea why Mattel went with that since the rest of the design is fairly simple and could have likely afforded a bit of lace.
I've seen a few of the MH/EAH line where the plastic accessories work, but mostly they just look bad once they're out of the box. And while I can usually replace some of the worse jewelry/earrings with real metal, I can't do anything to make huge chunks look better (though I suppose I could fine-tune my painting skills)...
I an in awe of anyone who can modify to that point!
