I pack carefully and ship FAST. Normally same day for purchases before 3pm, M-F.
Part of the late 90’s collaboration between Mattel (Barbie) and Desilu Productions (I Love Lucy). Lucy Does a TV Commercial, episode 30. Many know this as the “Vita-Meata-Vegamin” episode, where Lucy gets accidentally drunk on the “health elixir” she is marketing live on TV. The show itself cemented the comedic genius of Lucille Ball and her impact on American sitcom audiences for decades to come.
This was one of the most popular in the “I Love Lucy” Barbie series, selling out quickly upon its limited release. Originally retailed $40 in 1997.
Stored since purchase in a non-smoking home. Box shows very little wear (perhaps edges, consistent with storage/age) and the plastic “window” casing is clear - resulting in a stunning display piece.
Please check my other listings for a number of collectible and HTF Barbies, Disney, and Funko pieces, all priced to SELL.
Please contact me with any questions or if you desire more photos. FYI I am selling the entire “I Love Lucy” Barbie collector series, for those looking for a particular release.
