*New In Package - Never Been Opened* SKU #5313

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. 

This doll is stunning!  It’s a double reproduction and extremely well done. The doll is a rare White Ginger bubble-cut Barbie that has been perfectly reproduced, including the bubblegum pink lips and nails. The original is one of the most sought-after Barbie dolls today.

The outfit is from 1963 and 1964, and was called Sophisticated Lady. The original outfit was one of the expensive ones, with a price tag of $4. Today this fashion is one of the most desired outfits from the early 1960s and, complete with the tiara, can sell for $100 and up.

This toy is part of my personal collection and has been archived by me, Joe Galliani, the creator of the Street Sharks, and President of Mr.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.

This Sophisticated Barbie was removed from the shipping carton for the very first time to photograph the package - which is still sealed and has never been opened. The package is in near mint condition with only some scuff marks on top with no other visible flaws. I want you, the collector to be the very first person to open this package to reveal the beautiful doll inside for yourself.

I guarantee the mint condition of the doll inside or I will refund your complete purchase and pay to have you ship this Plantation Belle Porcelain Barbie back to me. Photos are of this specific toy for sale. Please review carefully and thoroughly as all sales are final and no refunds will be issued.
