Vintage 1990 “Malaysian Barbie” Dolls of the World #7329 MIB LOVELY

Description

It was about time Mattel’s Dolls of the World team featured a doll from one of the countries that produces Barbie dolls for the company. I will allow Malaysian Barbie to tell you about her outfit. “Batik is a traditional Malaysian handicraft where wax and colorful dyes are used to create pretty designs on cloth. My skirt is an example of a beautiful cloth we make called songket. Woven with gold and silver threads, songket is worn for weddings and special occasions.” The fabric roses used at the hip and in Barbie’s hair are wonderful. I can see a pair of black, open-toed shoes in the bag with the magenta hair brush.
This doll is mint in the box, but it looks as if the bottom flap has been opened and then taped back shut, so the inner sleeve may have been pulled out, though the contents do not appear to have been disturbed in any way. The box is in great shape but a purchase date and price paid have been written in ink on the front at the top, and two minor dings on the edge of the cello window.
Malaysian Barbie was actually made in Malaysia. For ages 3 and up. From a non-smoking, Barbie-loving home.
