Barbie Marilyn Monroe, Hollywood Legends Collection Doll
By Mattel
Located in Milano, IT
In the year 1997, a Barbie doll emerged from the depths of Hollywood's golden era to immortalize one of the most iconic moments in film history. She is none other than Barbie as Marilyn Monroe, a dazzling tribute to the legendary actress and her unforgettable role in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." This Barbie, a prized gem from the Hollywood Legends Collection by Mattel, is a breathtaking embodiment of Marilyn's timeless glamour.
Adorned in the famous pink dress that Marilyn Monroe wore in the film, this Barbie exudes the allure and magnetism of a Hollywood icon. The dress, tailored to perfection, hugs her figure in all the right places, capturing the essence of Marilyn's seductive elegance. The intricate jewelry from the movie has been meticulously inserted into the Barbie, adding an extra layer of authenticity to this collector's masterpiece. But it is not just the dress and jewelry that make this Barbie extraordinary. What sets her apart is that she has remained intact, her box never opened since the day she was created. It has been a silent witness to the passage of time, a tribute to Marilyn Monroe's enduring legacy and her indelible mark on film history.
The box set itself is very elegant, a window into the glamorous and intriguing world that Marilyn inhabited. It is adorned with images and drawings that pay homage to the unforgettable moments Marilyn brought to the silver screen. Opening this box would be like unveiling a piece of film history, releasing the magic of Marilyn Monroe into the world once again. Included in this collector's package is a doll stand...

Antique, New and Vintage Toys and Dolls
Antique, new and vintage toys and dolls of years past — handmade folk-art toys such as wooden train sets, dolls, rocking horses and more — can be enjoyed by the young and old alike.
Children as well as nostalgic grown-ups are still finding pleasure in toys and objects designed specifically for playtime that are, in comparison to today’s digital device-oriented distractions, far more modest in nature. In contemporary interiors, gently aging toys are wonderfully uncomplicated decorative objects primed for display in a cabinet or other case piece.
With their romantic appeal and frequent incorporation of natural materials, some vintage toys and folk-art toys are treasured collectibles, showcasing the beauty of handmade craftsmanship. Alongside other works characterized as folk art — in this case, visual art, typically reflective of a community’s culture and usually handmade by craftspeople working within a popular tradition — handcrafted vintage toys are historical works of art worthy of any collector’s mantel. These are toys that tell a story of the time in which they were produced and the people who produced them.
Like any artifact, toys provide a window into the past. The ornamental dolls of the Victorian era, for example, produced in Germany and England, made of ceramics such as porcelain and dressed in textured fabrics, speak to the fashion of the era and will add a pop of color and a decorative flourish to the neutral corners of your home.
Mid-century modern toys and dolls are as sophisticated as the widely cherished furniture of the era. As much as they thought good design for the home should be available for all, iconic American design duo Charles and Ray Eames believed in making durable and interesting products for kids too. Today, their Eames Elephant is available from Vitra and Herman Miller, and it doesn’t even require a digital screen.
Explore a unique collection of antique, new and vintage toys and dolls as well as folk-art toys on 1stDibs.
