(More customer reviews)Mattel should be commended for bringing some diversity to the reproduction line of dolls. Julia is a breath of fresh air to those who once owned her and to those who wished they did! The doll is beautifully constructed in every detail. Of particular note is the highly detailed uniform, exacting in every small way. I would have liked to have seen an additional outfit packaged along with the doll, but that is really a small personal quibble. Once again Mattel has stapled the doll's head to the packing material. This seems like such a dubious practice, even for shipping. Thankfully these staples are easily cut, though it would be better if they were not there in the first place.
Something not mentioned in previous reviews is the wonderful reproduction booklet that accompanies that package. If perusing this doesn't take you back to the lazy days of 70s Barbie play, I don't know what will! Its a lovely extra that will take you down memory lane...and wish everything contained within were still readily available. Its also a great reference material..something that you don't find just anywhere.
Bottom line, if you are looking at this doll and considering her. Buy her. She's worth it!

The show, Julia, debuted in September of 1968, changing television history forever. The landmark sit-com introduced us to Julia Baker, an African-American widow, and her young son, Corey. Living in Los Angeles, Julia worked as a nurse beside the grouchy, but still lovable, Dr. Morton Chegley. Played magnificently by Diahann Carroll, Julia challenged stereotypes and changed perceptions. Warm, spirited, and determined, Julia became a star, who is fondly remembered even today. This wonderful reproduction of the original Julia doll from 1969 celebrates all that made Julia AND Diahann so beloved. The strikingly beautiful doll wears a re-creation of Julia's white nurse's uniform, and features rooted eyelashes, bendable legs, and a Twist 'N Turn waist. Doll is housed in a striking package inspired by the original design.
