(More customer reviews)Tonner's Goldilocks is part of the ReImagination series (which included Red Red Hood as well as a whole sinister circus).
Goldilocks is a large articulated display figure - she's twice the size (and much wider) than a barbie doll. The articulation means you can pose her in quite a few interesting poses and keep the display 'fresh' each time.
Her outfit, true to most of Tonner dolls, is quite eleaborate and beautiful. She has a flounced soft chiffon dress with a very large soft blue bow in the back. Her stockings are thigh high and she has leatherette bots. Matching topless sleeves compliment the arms and she has a matching bow in her hair. Her teddy bear fits neatly into her arms and completes the look.
If I have to be nitpicky, it's that the picture is accurate and she does look very much like an older woman pretending to be a child. And by older, I mean over 40. I think it has to do with the make up and the nearly platinum color of the hair (which might have been better served being more of a golden hue than whitish since the white looks like old age grey hair). I think what is offputting is all the makeup - it's just a bit too much for a doll based on a very young and innocent child. I wish Tonner had kept her with more natural and soft make up and a much younger face.
Granted, these dolls are a modern fashion reimagining of the fairy tales - grown women in fashionable clothes inspired by the tales. The thing I didn't like with this doll is that she comes off as much, much older than what I would expect a fashion model to be (and there's nothing wrong with older - just that I don't expect a 40 year old woman with heavy makeup and good skin to be playing a fashion model playing a child character). It's missing the innocence and trust of the Goldilocks character that way.
In all, she is a lovely doll.
