🖤🤍 35th Anniversary Barbie — 1959 Reproduction Brunette NRFB Mattel #11782

A faithful Mattel reproduction of the very first Barbie doll ever produced — the 1959 #1 Ponytail "Teen Age Fashion Model." This is the brunette version, which was produced in lower quantities than the blonde and is the more difficult of the two color variants to find NRFB. She wears the iconic black-and-white zebra-striped strapless swimsuit that defined Barbie's 1959 debut, paired with white cat-eye sunglasses, gold hoop earrings, and black open-toe heels. The package includes a faithful reproduction of the original 1959 cardboard "Teen Age Fashion Model" doll sleeve — so you essentially get two iconic Barbie boxes in one. A must-have piece for serious Barbie historians, vintage repro collectors, and anyone wanting to own the look that started it all.
