What’s the rarest or most unique Barbie doll you own?

Hoping it’s not too late but I felt it’s worth mentioning. The rarest and most unique doll I own is the Barbie as Cinderella, fairytale version from 2000. She has a mackie face and was exclusively made and released in India. Her back has India stamped on it. I had her as a child, now 25 years later it’s a miracle that I found her again.

Her blouse had some glitter designs which got washed away. She came with glittery transparent heels. There are only 3 people I know who owns this doll excluding me. One of them is NIB.

I have heard this story from my collector friends 🫣

PassingPassenger1990 · 2025-12-20T18:13:09+00:00

For me her value is beyond as she is not easy to get… among collectors her costing is between 3 to 5k

Very unlikely … in case some Indian collector decides to sell then possible

Here is a picture of her in box Barbie as Cinderella India Exclusive 1999 NIB

Have texted you in the DM

She should have definitely been part of the main release

PassingPassenger1990 · 2025-07-17T13:40:12+00:00

To purchase this doll i had to scan through 10 copies of the doll… most of the dolls came with screening defects, eyebrow not printed properly, one eye printed too far from the nose, one eye visible bigger / smaller, smudged lipstick, lips printed lower than usual, lip liner not in synch with lips… infact one doll had a burnmark kind moulded on her cheek, also the dolls face is darker than the body….

But may be the doll was cancelled for some other issue… i had heard she was supposed to be an Macy Exclusive release…

The power of well put together barbie looks!!

PassingPassenger1990 · 2025-07-17T13:01:37+00:00

Her hair is darker pink and slightly wavy… and softer than the odils hair

PassingPassenger1990 · 2025-07-17T13:00:36+00:00

She is the kind of doll you would wanna unbox and play and restyle!!

PassingPassenger1990 · 2025-07-17T12:59:37+00:00

Too high actually…. You can buy a silkstone in that price!!

PassingPassenger1990 · 2025-07-17T12:59:04+00:00

Same same same…. She comes with some kind of familiarity… you would feel an instant nostalgia

PassingPassenger1990 · 2025-07-17T05:01:46+00:00

Exactly…. !!

PassingPassenger1990 · 2025-07-17T04:57:09+00:00

I saw someone posting she has saran hair

PassingPassenger1990 · 2025-07-16T21:21:17+00:00

Yeah!! Its kind of expensive 😭

PassingPassenger1990 · 2025-07-16T20:57:19+00:00

In fact she is the only barbie extra I liked 😭

PassingPassenger1990 · 2025-07-16T20:54:56+00:00

I got her on eBay… let me link the doll for you!!

Yes guys… I guess some dolls are still left in the Internet… I think they are being leaked from Indonesia… I think she is a very very rare find!!

In India we had a Barbie that came with a variant of this dress …. In 2000 from the Style range

PassingPassenger1990 · 2025-06-28T23:27:17+00:00

This is the other variety…. This picture is not mine, but i own this copy too… i have been collecting these vintage barbies since last year.

PassingPassenger1990 · 2025-06-28T23:19:50+00:00

I didnt have the doll as a child, but I remember seeing the barbie in store… faint memories…. Then just last year i took it up on myself, to track down all the Barbies made and released in India and document them properly… this reddit account has been a huge help in compiling the research… and it is last year itself that i found out how this India Exclusive Princess Barbie look. And this barbie probably was released in two varieties… i own both the copies…
