I am delighted to say she should be very pleased with this doll. The most remarkable thing about her is that her hair is set in a perfect part, and the braids are proportional to her other features.

As far as technical issues go, it might be noted that her clothes are sewn on, and her helmet is tagged to her head in the back. Her shoes are very loose on her feet. She cannot be posed in a sitting position while wearing the breastplate.

She has armor, but of course, it’s child-safe plastic rather than metal. Her gown is lovely in white organza with a gold mesh overshirt. She really does look like a real Viking princess.
