*New In Package - Never Been Opened* SKU #1022

Barbie is the most popular fashion doll in the history of the world and has been since its introduction in 1959. I first started working with Barbie in 1985 in Mattel's Samples Department. In 1988 I began writing toy fair scripts, videos, marketing skits, custom songs and other creative for Barbie at Mattel. My first email address was mrbarbie@aol.com and you can still reach me there. 

Tropical Barbie is a beautiful African American doll with the longest hair ever. The sun always shines on Tropical Barbie and her friends! She comes complete with with one-piece bathing suit ruffle and brush.

This toy is part of my personal collection and has been archived by me, Joe Galliani, the creator of the Street Sharks, and President of Mr. Joe's Really Big Productions for over two decades in my home's attic.

The package and contents are in visually very good condition with very little wear on box. Photos are of this specific toy for sale. Please review carefully and thoroughly as all sales are final and no refunds will be issued.
