Alvin Ailey Barbie Doll. NRFB. MINT BOX. American Dance Theater Mattel 2009
This Alvin Ailey Barbie is stunning looking: A unique and beautiful costume, perfectly executed, the doll positioned in a flowing dance move, the great face, great hair, even eyelashes. Alvin Ailey® American Dance Theater Barbie® Doll Pink LabelT Collection In celebration of the 50th anniversary of one of the world's premier modern dance companies, we present the first ever Barbie® doll to be inspired by a dance company-Alvin Ailey® American Dance Theater Barbie® doll. Designed by Artistic Director Judith Jamison, this Barbie® doll reflects the famed beauty and grace of Alvin Ailey® American Dance Theater and its world-class dancers. Taking the stage in a soaring leap and perfectly applied stage makeup, the doll is dressed in a flowing, white and lace costume worn in "Wade in the Water" from Alvin Ailey's masterpiece, Revelations.
Doll cannot stand alone or dance. It has never been removed from the original box (NRFB), and never displayed. It has been wrapped in tissue and stored for fifteen years in my smoke-free, pet-free "Barbie Hotel" as my granddaughters call their Nana's house (LOL)! The box itself is in mint condition in my opinion, but condition is always subjective, so please look carefully at all of the photos and feel free to ask any questions. The photos are of the doll you will receive, except of course for the two glamor shots taken by Mattel of the doll posed outside of its box.
My personal collection is of Barbies from 1992 to present. My entire collection is still in original boxes, and 99% of the boxes are in near-mint to mint condition.
I especially look for well designed Barbies that have very detailed costumes and uncommon face sculpts. About twenty percent of my. 350+ Barbie dolls are African American and/or or celebrity likenesses. Please follow me if you collect Barbies in original boxes that have been carefully stored and cared for. I will be listing at least 50 more highly collectible Barbies over the next two months.
