Do you think or know if they will re-release the 1959 BARBIE for the 50th anniversary of barbie?
do you know?
thank you .
They are releasing three new versions (reproductions) of the 1959 doll with slight modifications.
The three new reproductions of the original 1959 doll include:
1. The Original Teenage Fashion Model Barbie Doll
from the My Favourite Barbie Doll Series
“One highly sought-after Barbie® doll is the very first doll, introduced at the New York Toy Fair on March 9, 1959. A phenomenon, this blonde bombshell featured the now famous black and white bathing suit, sultry features, and ponytail. This 50th anniversary version is the most faithful reproduction ever, even down to the foot holes made for the original doll stand!”
