The New Year Barbie is a beautiful present to get your little girl or collector friend before the end of 2013.
This doll portrays Barbie as a lady that's ready to party and ring in the new year. She is dressed in a gorgeous, glitzy gold dress, long gloves and heels with light-blue fabric accents to add stunning contrast. The elegant gown hugs Barbie and flails out at the end for a mermaid look. To let everyone know she's ready to party, she's wearing a 'Happy New Year' crown that's blue to match the accents.
Although it's only October, the New Year Barbie is already being sold at Barbie Collector, and if you think you have plenty of time to buy it, you don't; only a lucky 5,500 people will be able to call this doll their own.
