Barbie Had a Little Lamb - The Nursery Rhyme Collection (Collector Edition)

This is a 1999 Mattel Collector Edition Barbie doll from 'The Nursery Rhyme Collection,' themed after the classic poem 'Mary Had a Little Lamb.' The doll features vibrant auburn hair styled in tight, ringlet curls adorned with a blue satin bow. She is dressed in a Victorian-inspired ensemble consisting of a shimmering blue satin jacket with white lace trim, silver-tone button details, and a high collar. Her full-length skirt is white with a delicate Swiss dot pattern, featuring a gathered pick-up at the hem that reveals a yellow and white striped underskirt, accented by a small pink bow. The doll is accessorized with a miniature 'Spelling' book attached to her hand and a small plastic white lamb figurine with a pink ribbon. The packaging is an octagonal window box with a scenic backdrop of a country schoolhouse. The doll appears to be in 'Never Removed From Box' (NRFB) condition. The box itself shows minor signs of shelf wear and age but retains its structural integrity, with the clear plastic window remaining largely transparent despite some surface dust and potential light scuffing. The Mattel item number 21740 is visible on the bottom right of the box.
