Why isn’t there one of claudette colvin...the real hero of that story

I agree she needs recognition but in terms of Civil Rights Movement, a decision was made to use Rosa Parks as the "start and face" because she was older. Claudette was only 15 years old at the time; we know that time was difficult for all people of color but can you imagine being only 15 and having to carry the weight of, technically, starting the Civil rights movement? Parks was an older woman who, unfortunately, had a lifetime of racism she'd already faced. My Grandparents and parents were VERY active in the Civil rights movement...heads and founders of chapters of the NAACP, bussing groups to march in various cities and states, being run out of cities by the KKK and having to relocate in a different region of the U.S.; when their children were infants and toddlers. As my parents got older, they got more and more involved but were not allowed on the front lines until they were adults because of how dangerous it was. I don't think it would've been safe for Colvin to be "the face" of the start of the Civil rights movement. There was ONE teen who tragically ended up as a face of the Civil rights era...Emmett Till. Im personally waiting for a Mary McLoud Bethune doll; shes my Great Great Aunt and a huge reason why Elenor Roosevelt was so active in human rights. SO many women need to be honored! Selecting Rosa Parks was a calculated choice; and let's be honest...how many people, other than those "who know", know of Claudette Colvin? She ABSOLUTELY deserves to be honored and when she is, I'll be there to pre-order mine!

Why's there no mention of mrs. parks, in addition of being a seamstress, she was a secretary for the naacp and was chosen for her role

I agree. I’d like to see the NAACP on the box. Maybe a little sewing machine or printing press! Mary B- I’ve met her twice and she’s light skinned.

Has the seller corrected the issue with shipping packaging? Did not see complaints about the box arriving damaged in the two most recent reviews.

Hi I did see similar reviews/complaints these are sales from seller to buyer, there was compromise in their packaging to save money. Check the amazon fulfilled sales, these will packaged and shipped by amazon to the seller we expect much better quality packaging. For the barbies, We are selling our company is selling with amazon fulfilled. hope that helps!

This Rosa Parks arroved looking brand new. She looked very cute and well made from first glance. Pros: -The box she came in had many details and a summary of her life on the back -Came with a certificate of authenticity -Her clothes and pair of shoes were excellent quality and had many details -Her clothes were removable so dressing her up in other barbie outfits was easy -Her glasess were adjustable -Her hair was neat and shiny -The plastic stand that cane with her held her nicely -Her face looked just like Rosa's face and she looked a lot like the real Rosa Parks -Her limbs were bendable so I could pose her easily in many ways. Cons: -Her bun was partially flattened because of being pressed against the packaging -Her glasess were a bit out of place -She was hard to open because the bands that were holding her into her box -WHERE'S THE BUS????? Really good quality, worth the money and wait. Great gift for a history lover or doll collector. Very durable, overall great quality. I would recommend

So happy with this item. I ordered her from a US seller from Amazon and she arrived in just 11 days! The doll is beautiful. I am in awe of her lovely outfit which is reminiscent of the 60's Barbie I grew up with. Its well made, stylist and totally wearable. She has a pale green floral dress with a grey "woolen" coat, little white silk gloves all topped by a neat black pill box hat. Her specs are really cute and she has a super pretty little face. All in all she is a lovely doll and would be a pride of place in a collection- Fully recommended.

Thank you so much. I have not opened it yet but I can see from the box how beautiful and precious it is. It's just like the picture. The coat and glasses are very nicely done. It's so amazing I am not sure I want to open it. The initial add-on price was incredible. I ordered it on October 3 and although I was warned that it wouldn't be in stock until Oct 14, it was a difficult long wait. I kept worrying my order would get canceled especially after seeing the price increased. I was relieved to see it was shipped and then delivered. It did not come with any protection airbags or filling in the shipping box but they were not damaged. This is my favourite doll as of now. I wish I got more for gifts.
