BRAND NEW, UNSOLD, no previous owner (you will be the first) this 1994 limited edition Barbie doll from the Fantasy of Ethnic Collection is a must-have for collectors and fans of Barbie dolls. The doll has never been removed from its original packaging and is in NEW/MINT condition. She comes from a former doll store. The store owner moved to another state, closing her store and storing this gorgeous doll in a 100% smoke and pet free climate controlled area. I am not an expert, but I could not find flaws on the box. No storage wear, fading of color, dents, tears, cracks in the cellophane, ends of the box are holding nicely, no odors of any kind. It comes with an extremely extravagant costume that depicts the tribal costumes of the northern and southern inhabitants of the islands Philippines. It has authentic, intricately hand-woven and beaded fabric, making this collection so rare and valuable, bringing to life these ancestral Filipina characterized by the Ethnic Barbie. It contains a complete set of accessories including a doll, beaded purse, beaded hair accessories, display stand, 2-piece lavishly beaded outfit, matching beaded shawl/wrap, jewelry, and fashion booklet. The doll is 11 1/2 inches tall, with black upswept hair and brown eyes. She is a Filipina Barbie Collector Series doll, with a medium complexion and an Asian/Pacific Islander ethnicity. The doll is articulated and non-toxic, non-scented, with removable clothing and was manufactured in the Philippines. The doll is part of a limited edition of 1,000 worldwide and is an original, licensed reproduction made by Mattel. You will RARELY have a chance to own a NEW one, NOT pre-owned 30 years after being made --in MINT condition like this one! Don't let it get away! Makes a fabulous gift for the collector in your life or any special little girl! Please view photos. Over 10 years on Ebay. Packaged carefully. Pay securely with any major credit or debit card. No returns, refunds, exchanges as this is a consignment item. Standard shipping. Please be understanding about shipping cost as the postal service charges $4.00 more for anything over 14" and this is 17" after packaging because there has to be some padding added for protection of your doll, all around (some postal workers are rough with packages, especially in the western states) and the box itself. It is unavoidable.
