Barbie Happy Holidays Doll Special Edition (1998 Mattel)

It s a glittery parachute, it s a shooting star, it s 1998 Holiday Barbie! The last doll ever in the Happy Holidays Barbie doll series, she was born to grace the shelves of collectors everywhere. Would you like to put her on a pedestal? Go ahead, she has a pink plastic one. And why not? She s a beaut, sporting a glamorous black velvet gown adorned with silver accents. A sheer neckline and sleeves accentuate Barbie s wasp-waisted bodice, and silver glitter sparkles from her velvety black collar, cuffs, and flowing skirt. A striking, bright pink, almost-floor-length, satin stole with silver tassels at each end completes her glamorous new look--as do the diamond earrings and a shiny ring on her manicured finger. A pink brush comes with each Barbie, but her piled-high, tiara-bound hairdo has a lasting hold that no one will want to disrupt. (Perhaps the brush is for whisking stray glitter off of her dress?) Each special edition Barbie is packaged in a showcase gift box. A collector s item, to be sure, but little girls will think she s beautiful. African American Holiday Barbie is also available. Contains: doll, black gown with glitter print, hand ring, earrings, shoes, crown, doll stand, hair brush. Dressed in black velvet gown with sparkling glitter accents with pink cape and jeweled tiara. Special Edition Barbie doll. A 1998 Mattel production.
