Liked: Her white-wavy long hair, and facial features make a perfect attribution to the characteristics of this doll. I am in love with this doll. The box is black in the outside, and blue-grayish in the inside, which contrasts perfectly well with the light and mute colors of the doll's dress. I really liked the way her dress was designed and the details that make her look spook-tacular. She truly makes a perfect addition to any collector's display cabinets. I guess this is the reason why it was sold out in the first two days. They sold more a few days later, but I am guessing they were probably in back order.

Areas for improvement: Though I love Model Muse molds for the bodies of my Barbie Dolls, this doll has jointed arms, therefore I thought that her legs were jointed too. I would had really loved to see some stylish ghostly shoes on this doll. I know that ghosts technically float around, however, I was very curious about the shoe factor and it wasn't there. As a collector, having my "collector" dolls with the certificate of authenticity is very important. As mentioned before, this doll didn't have it, so that was disappointing. Customer service told me that not all dolls have them, however, the rest of the dolls in this line have included the certificate, so uniformity is greatly appreciated.
