(More customer reviews)It's been nearly a decade since Mattel released their original "I Dream of Jeannie" and "Bewitched" Barbies, and now in time for Christmas 2010, they have produced a new trio of iconic '60s TV goddesses, including re-issues of Samantha and Jeannie.
This time though, the face molds are that of the classic original Barbie circa 1959-mid '60s.
The Samantha doll comes dressed in a black "flying suit" including red-lined cape and black pumps. Her blonde hair is in an extreme flip 'do like Elizabeth Montgomery wore on the show during its first season. Whereas the 2001 doll was leaning on her broom, this one is standing and holding a (rather cheesy-looking) broom.
I wish Mattel had used the plastic casing for this doll rather than the cardboard one they decided to go with here. At first, I disliked the plastic boxes but have come to like them as they look more classy.
The inside of the box is a cartoon skyline with an animated Samantha just like the opening credits of the show.
The back features a very basic blurb about the series, along with a larger pic of cartoon Sam. The show logo appears on the front of the window in white.
The side panels are a powder blue with the "Bewitched" logo in red. There is a B&W head-shot of Liz that die-hard fans will recognize as a cropped version of the 1968 "trenchcoat/lightning background" photo session. Her name is printed underneath in black.
The top of the box is black with the show logo in white. It's very plain and not very attractive in my opinion. I don't hate it but it's nowhere near as eye-catching as Mattel's "The Birds" Barbie, for example.
Fans of the show will no doubt want to get this; the doll itself evokes a retro '60s feel and is cute.

The Samantha Barbie doll features a vintage face and is dressed in her signature black witch's outfit that she wears at the opening of every episode. The cape has gorgeous red trim and the doll is accessorized with a wide-brim witch's hat and broom.
