My cousin is a huge Hitchcock fan so I gave her this for Christmas. She loved it!! She had never heard of the "black label" collection before, but I know she's looking at this collection now. She also loves Lucy, so I'd bet she also now has the Lucy/Ethel set. Great product!! We need more original items like this on the market, especially when they're directed at baby boomers. Mattel... you hit a home run with "black label"!

Well...
I saw this "Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds" Barbie doll and I knew I had to have it! I love Alfred Hitchcock and this Barbie was certainly a great idea for a great homage! The recreation of Tippi Hedren is great... the falling hair after the bird attack... the suit... the black birds... everything is so evocative, this is indeed the perfect toy homage.
Naturally, this is a collector's item, therefore, it is not supposed to played with. Children will probably ask "what happened to her? Why the birds?" But the answer is simple: THE BIRDS is simply one of the greatest films ever! I could not think of a greater honor: to be released as a Barbie doll.
I'm not a doll collector... by this one captured my imagination and I am already going to have to control myself when Mattel releases more Hitchcock dolls. And I already have my favorite ones on my mind:
REAR WINDOW - This Barbie recreates Lisa Freemont when she she first appears.
VERTIGO - This Barbie recreates Madeleine Elster with the hairdo and the gray suit she wore when she died... and the necklace, naturally...
PSYCHO - This Barbie comes in tones of gray (since the film is in black & white). This is a naked Barbie that comes in a shower... screaming! LOL
Other Barbies I'd love to see...
Gloria Swanson from SUNSET BOULEVARD - The final scene... "Alright, Mr. DeMille..."
Anita Ekberg from LA DOLCE VITA - The fountain scene!
Joan Crawford from JOHNNY GUITAR
Bette Davis from JEZEBEL or NOW, VOYAGER
Cyd Charisse from SINGIN' IN THE RAIN... the beautiful dream number.
I guess I'd better stop now... or I'll go bankrupt. LOL!

This is one of my favorite of the Barbie Collector dolls. I was so surprised when they released this as a subject for a Barbie doll - it's definitely not for kids and kind of scary. But the box is beautifully designed and you really get a feel for the movie from it. I haven't taken it out of the box but I am very happy I purchased this and it is displayed right next to my computer.

My mother is a minor league Barbie collector and a Hitchcock fan from way back...so when I gave her this doll as a birthday gift she was all smiles...she couldn't stop looking at it. As other reviewers have mentioned, there is so much detail..the purse, the jewelry, that perfectly captured startled look on Tipi's face.
I went ahead and bought the movie DVD to add to the gift...the outfit pictured on the DVD cover is the same one the doll is wearing...it makes a great presentation.

This is a very unique and well done collectable. I am NOT a doll collecter, but might start if Mattel continues this series!
Th presentation is VERY HIGH END, and the doll is posed well in the case - which is a true work of art itself. The front looks like a movie set, right at UNIVERSAL. It is clear that great care was taken, a true 3-D presentation. The costume is a perfect replica of what Tippi Hedren wore (designed by legend Edith Head) when she played Melanie Daniels.
The 3 birds are individual, and differ from each other- again the attention to detail is noticed. The doll even has a whisp of hair out of place, and a scratch on the forehead where one of the birds pecked at poor Melanie.
The back of the box has information on the movie, Hitchcock and its production in 1963. The movie is a true classic,and this is a creative way to remember it, in between viewings.
I have mine above my desk at work,and I can assure you most everyone (male and female) are attracted to it- and astounded by the quality of the presentation. Tends to be an ice breaker as well, people love to talk about their own memory of this film!
So ...if you are in gift giving mode for a film buff, you can't go wrong-and yes, you can buy a doll for a guy! (or yourself!) This is really a piece of pop-culture art, and highly prized.
100% excellent item!
