and pick up a pack of the plastic Goody hair binders in black to replace it. (Tip: If for some reason this band breaks just visit the beauty section in a local Wal-mart, Target, Walgreens etc.
A black plastic band acts as a head band for Bella’s dark brown hair and seems to slip and slide easily so you have to keep moving it back into place if you handle the doll out of the package. In my case the tape adhesive had attached itself not only to the cardboard but to my doll and I had to clean it off.īella’s head moves and rotates easily.
To free the knee of it’s cardboard prison you need to remove the tape and cardboard carefully after undressing Bella of her jeans. Mattel, in a strange move, placed a black carboard wrap around the straight leg of Bella. Be warned: the bendable knees both won’t bend right out of the packaging. This Bella doll has bendable knees but not bendable arms which is a step back in my opinion for Mattel in comparison to the release of the Wonder Woman Pink Label all bendable doll. Also be careful when cutting her head from the plastic attaching her to the package so you don’t cut her hair in the process. It seems she is wrapped up and attached well to the interior cardboard and if you get this as a Christmas gift for a young Twilighter then it will probably take you a while to get her out of the thin plastic box and all the packaging ties, tape and rubber she is attached with. I liked the overall packaging of the Barbie Bella Twilight doll for the atheistic value but for those who might be doll collectors or are thinking of starting be aware there is nothing all that special about this doll besides having Twilight packaging and one label inside the jacket that says Summit.Īlso please be aware that if you intend to remove Bella from the box you have a job ahead of you.
