This set has a lot of potential for kitbashing. Although is is a bit small for 1:6 scale dolls and figures, it works fine as a background piece for photographs. It would be a good size for 9 or 10 inch dolls or figures.
The set comes with a large assortment of food products most of which look very good with a little repainting. The roast chicken on a platter was what really made me decide to purchase this product.
The refrigerator comes apart easily for repainting. The printed panels come off easily when the unit is soaked in hot water. After removing the stickers, I washed each piece in warm water and dishwashing detergent with a scuff pad. I used standard spray primer and gloss enamel on the refrigerator pieces and encountered no adverse reaction to the plastic.
I used acrylic craft paints on the food items however since the soft plastic Mattel uses for these often is not compatable with oil based paints.
I had a lot of fun customizing this piece. It was easy to dis-assenble, and seems quite durable. Nothing broke during reassembly. Other than the size factor I found this to be a really good quality product to rebuild as something quite useable as a photo prop or in a diorama.Get more detail about Barbie Glam Refridgerator.
