1988 Happy Holiday Barbie
1988 Happy Holiday Barbie is a very significant doll in Barbie's history and many Barbie collectors will eventually aspire to have her in their own collection. The doll is the typical "1966 Barbie" with tons of big blonde hair and the superstar face. Her holiday gown is made of red tulle accented with glitter and a white satin bow at the waist. She has a big silver bow in her hair.

The 1988 Happy Holiday Barbie is considered to be the first "Collectible Barbie," although it wasn't originally planned that way. When this doll hit the market, it sold out rapidly and almost immediately began to command big prices on the secondary market. Based on the popularity of that doll, Mattel realized there was a huge market for Barbie Dolls for adult collectors and they began to make more and more dolls for that market. |
