The Original Teenage Model Barbie Doll
The original Barbie teen fashion model doll is a reproduction of the first Barbie with ponytail number 1 from 1959, released in celebration of Barbie's 50th anniversary. This is a reproduction of the Barbie doll that was introduced at the New York Toy Fair on March 9, 1959.
Barbie has a blonde ponytail and is wearing her original black and white zebra striped swimsuit. Mattel says this is their "most faithful" vintage Barbie reproduction. She even has holes in the soles of her feet, like the first Barbie doll from 1959.
This doll is a "gift set" and includes a reproduction of one of Barbie's most famous vintage outfits: Solo In The Spotlight #982 (1960-1964), which comes with all the accessories. A vintage reproduction booklet is also included, along with 50th anniversary trading cards featuring vintage image reproductions on one side and Barbie facts on the reverse.
This is the first in the My Favorite Barbie series, a series of six vintage Barbie reproductions to celebrate 50 years of Barbie. It was released in January 2009 with a retail price of $39.95.
