This Farrah Fawcett Barbie is gorgeous! Mattel did a wonderful job capturing Farrah's famous swimsuit poster, her dazzling smile and combination of girl next door innocence and blonde bomshell looks. The Famous Farrah poster has sold 12 millon copies since it's debut in 1976. The largest selling pin up poster to date. The poster sent Farrah into superstardom just before she landed her role on Charlies Angels. The Farrah Barbie comes with her famous red swimsuit, gold chain, and blanket. Her hair is pre- styled with a few tiny rubber bands and strings to hold it in place.It will easily fall into a bigger feathered hair look by carefully removing a few bands. The only con I can find is the body of the doll was made permanently posed, the legs and arms have no movement. This will be a problem for some collectors who want to change her outfit etc.. I'm happy to display her in the box. The box has three pictures of Farrah from her famous photo shoot in 1976 and a small bio on the back. The photo session was taken outside at the home Farrah lived at with her husband at the time Lee Majors in July 1976. This is a black label Barbie for the adult collector. It's wonderful to have such a lovely tribute for one of my childhood heros. Part of the sell from these dolls will be donated to the Farrah Fawcett Foundation. I think any Farrah fan and Barbie collector will be happy to have her. Rest in peace sweet angel Farrah!!!
I have added a few pictures to see closer up detail of this lovely doll!
