Stunning (Rating: 0.00)
Review : This doll caught my eyes the moment I saw her I was browsing through books here at amazon.com. The Cambodian Apsara dancers with their divine beauty came to life with the real Cambodian Princess Bopha Devi. Of course, the doll's face isn't exactly that of Princess Bopha Devi. But the doll's eyes are distinctively Khmer. The overall shape of her face is present in Khmer and other Asians. Her overall figure is very charming. The doll isn't a glamorous depiction of Cambodian beauty; there are abundance of Khmer women (and men) who are at least this beautiful, in appearance, in the heart, and in the soul.Note on the word Cambodian and Khmer: Cambodian refers to the people of Cambodia. Khmer refers to the ethnic majority in Cambodia. The Khmers are the progeny of the once-great Angkorean era. Note on rating: Fun: For me, I enjoy having it so that I can show to relative and friends. Durable: I'm not sure how durable it is. Since it's supposed to be a collector's item, one should handle it with care.
How many Cambodians in the USA, how many Cambodian dolls? (Rating: 0.00)
Review : This is a beautiful doll. I am Cambodian, and I am so glad that there is a doll out there representing our ethnicity (I do agree with other reviewers she could look a little more Asian). I just gave this doll to my grandmother as a birthday gift and she absolutely loved it. I am planning to buy a few more for my nieces, I want them to know that Barbie is more than just blonde hair and blue eyed. I am happy that there is the dolls of the world collection.
Beautiful Doll with Historical Value (Rating: 0.00)
Review : The minute I saw this doll when I was surfing the net, I knew I had to get her. I asked my dad to get it for me as a birthday gift. I was so exited as I was waiting to recieve it. When I got it I carefully opened it, not wanting to ruin it. Although, despite my efforts, her hair got really messed up. She is a beautiful doll with a very nice dress. I personally like these dolls because of their history. I already have the one from Greece, Japan, Egypt, and Cambodia. My only compalint about these dolls is their hair can be messed up very easily. But I highly recommend this doll.

Now if she could only POSE correctly... (Rating: 0.00)
Review : (...), you should have made her so at least her wrists could bend. Then she could dance the NATIONAL Khmer dance, the Ramvong.
OK, adults reading this review... boil some water. While having hot pads or oven mitts handy, dunk the forearms of poor Miss still-anglo-but-at-least-trying-to-look-Khmer(Cambodian) Barbie in the boiling water, counting to ten in Khmer. OK, quickly with your oven mitt, bend her hands back toward her forearms. KIDS reading this - let Mom do it, OK?
Now, as you bend the hand at the wrist (don't make a bow out of it, make a sharp bend), quickly put that hot area under cold running water, holding the hand bent backwards. You can dry the hotpad later, not a problem. Remember, the plastic will have some 'memory' and try to retain it's original shape. You will need to bend it further than you want it to look, when finished.
Afterward, you remember to leave off those ridiculous I Dream Of Jeannie shoes... Khmer dancers dance barefoot.
