The 40th Anniversary Edition Barbie was released to commemorate the original Barbie who first debut in 1959. To celebrate her 40th, she is dressed in a beautiful evening black organza gown with a tulip hemline and a black flock bodice shimmering with silvery glitter reminiscent of her original 1959 striped-pattern bathing suit. Her beautifully highlighted hair is pulled up into a soft French twist and on either side of her lovely face are glittery earrings. Her arms are covered with sheer retailer black opera-length gloves and she is holding a full bouquet of 40 pink roses. On the left side, is the authentic miniature of herself and the package she came in back in 1959.
The doll is displayed in the original package and has not been removed from the box. The box is in excellent condition, there is just one small crease in the cardboard on the top left edge (see photo #1). Please enlarge all photos to zoom in and see full details.
All the Barbie dolls in my collection have been kept safely stowed in boxes and have never been displayed. The dolls are from a smoke-free home. If you would like to see additional photos or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I would be happy to provide further information.
