Rarity & Significance
Common. This was a high-volume production intended for mass retail during the 2001 holiday season. It is culturally significant as part of the long-standing tradition of Holiday Barbies but is extremely easy for collectors to find in the current secondary market.
Special Features
Includes original gold tiara, golden necklace, faux-fur stole, and tiered glitter-infused skirt. Original set would also include gold pumps and a display stand.
Notable Variations
A more sought-after African American version (50305) was released simultaneously. There are also reported variations in the intensity of the glitter application on the bodice.
