Barbie Little Red Riding Hood & Wolf Set
Collectors can keep this and keep it out of toystores and away from little girls. They are already getting bombarded by enough images of sexualized young girls.
Modern twist? Modern meaning hyper sexual?
Saw this at a Toys R Us and was shocked. This is so not appropriate for a little girl. Six, twelve or even sixteen. I guess I can understand why a collector would be interested in it, sorta. But keep this away from the kids please. The sexual predator looking wolf just pushes the whole package over the top. This is just twisted.
this is a Barbie for MA only!

Little Red Riding Hood has always been a tale of symbolism, and a sexually charged one at that. Why someone would take MORE offense to Barbie as a LRRH who looks like she could eat the wolf and still have room for dessert, rather than LRRH as a tiny, defenseless pre-pubescent kindergartner being stalked by a near- werewolf is beyond me. I personally feel more comfortable with this Mattel version of LRRH than the gruesome imagery in the more familier (read: pedaphilic) versions. Anyway…
This is a beautiful doll. Her face and body mold are almost sculptural, her clothing detailed, and her packaging striking. At this price, the value is incomparable. This would make a perfect gift for the teenager whose Mom is still wanting to carry on with the “special doll” gift giving, but wants something a bit hipper and with more edge.
On the flip side, if you have an adult someone in your life who enjoys vintage, or dark fantasy, or fairy tales, punk or urban fantasy, yet really isn’t into Barbie…this would make a perfect, unique inexpensive gift that may just be of some value later on.
I think this doll is an investment, just for how truly beautiful it is. I cannot stress enough how vividly detailed and perfectly scaled everything about her is.
Sure, this doesn’t belong in the hands of a 3 year old, or a 6, 7, 8 year old. But what collectable does?
I am not certain this was marketed towards little girls, other than being available at toy stores. I mean, where else you gonna buy Barbies?

A fun set for collectors, and some hidden undertones. Overall a beautiful doll. Although I bought one, I would agree that these dolls belong online or in a more adult oriented store. I have no problems with Mattel making these, only with the fact that they are sold retail at childrens toy stores. But alas kids always want what they can”t or shouldent have.

I absolutely love this doll, she has the same face mold as Alice in Wonderland Barbie. If you want to buy this doll for a little girl I don’t think it will be the best idea because her clothes or not removable. Is more a doll just for collectors to display. She comes with stands for her and for the wolf. I wish Mattel will make Goldilocks doll with this face mold so it will continue this line.
