Millennium Doll Appraisal

2000 Millennium Princess Barbie Doll

The item is a 2000 Millennium Princess Barbie doll, presented in its original, unopened packaging. The Barbie doll features blonde hair styled with a tiara, and she is dressed in an elaborate dark blue gown with silver accents. The bodice of the dress is dark blue with intricate silver embroidery that resembles a floral or starburst pattern, centered at the bust line. A silver-colored sash or shawl drapes over her shoulders, appearing to be made of a textured, possibly metallic, fabric. The skirt of the gown is floor-length and voluminous. The main body of the skirt is dark blue, while a large, light-colored (likely silver or white) panel with a lace-like or embossed pattern runs down the center front. The phrase 'Millennium Princess Barbie' is prominently displayed in elegant script across this lighter panel on the box's clear front. The doll's accessories include a silver-colored necklace. In her right hand, she holds a "Millennium Keepsake" which appears to be a clear, faceted orb or crystal, with an image of a globe or Earth inside, suspended by a ribbon. The packaging is a clear plastic display box with dark blue trim, allowing full visibility of the doll. The box itself shows minimal to no visible wear, suggesting the doll is in pristine, 'new in box' (NIB) condition. There are no apparent tears, creases, or major scuffs on the plastic or cardboard components of the box. The internal background of the box is a light, possibly iridescent or white, color with small, scattered silver specks, evoking a starry or celebratory atmosphere. The overall presentation is indicative of a special edition or collectible doll, characteristic of Mattel's Barbie releases around significant historical dates.
