Holiday Barbie 2016 Appraisal

2016 Holiday Barbie - The Peace Hope Love Collection

This is a 2016 Holiday Barbie doll from 'The Peace Hope Love' collection by Mattel. The doll features a medium-tan skin tone and long, wavy brown hair. She is dressed in an elegant gown consisting of a shimmering, molded gold filigree bodice with a one-shoulder design and a voluminous, floor-length dark red or burgundy skirt. The doll's accessories include a gold-toned bracelet on her left wrist. A distinctive feature of this particular release is the innovative 'snow globe' themed packaging, which consists of a clear, rounded plastic dome with molded snowflake details and a red base that serves as a stand. The background inside the dome features a blue and white bokeh snowflake pattern, enhancing the winter holiday theme. The packaging is labeled with silver foil lettering, which appears bright and intact. The doll and its original container appear to be in excellent collector's condition, with no visible signs of dust, fading, or damage to the clear plastic or the figure itself. The craftsmanship reflects the high standards of the Barbie Collector line, intended for ages 6 and up, and represents a modern era of the long-running holiday series that began in 1988.
