An Ideal Holiday Doll for Collectors

Barbie's packaging makes her an ideal collectable. With the snowy, joyful background and Barbie's photo-worthy pose, the entire package has definite eye-catching energy and a mirthful aura. The removable cardboard prop beneath her skirt keeps her dress round and voluminous.

Out of the box, you'll notice that elements of Barbie's dress are kept in place with thread. If purchasing the doll as a toy for your child, you may need to snip these threads so that Barbie can be changed easily. The position of her arms, which are not straight as with most Barbies, may also make this holiday version a tad challenging for young kids to change. But whether you purchase Holiday Barbie as a collectable or toy, you'll be pleased with her complete and festive accessories.
