1991 Happy Holidays Barbie Doll

The 1991 Happy Holidays Barbie doll under stock number 1871 is one of two 1991 entries in the Happy Holidays series, cataloged in the collector segment of the Holiday Barbie line. Issued in 1991 as a Special Edition, the doll wears a floor-length green velvet-look gown, its bodice beaded in red, green, and white sequins. Her hair is styled long and flowing and topped by a bow matching the gown. The record lists red and silvery accessories along with the matching hair bow. The green gown continues the series' year-to-year color changes, following the red of the 1988 series opener, the white of 1989, and the fuchsia of 1990. As with the 1990 releases, the 1991 design is cataloged under two stock numbers: this entry, 1871, and a companion entry under 2696, both dated 1991 and sharing the same gown description. Reference indexes identify the release under the aliases "1991 Happy Holidays Barbie" and "Happy Holidays 1991." No designer is credited in the record and no edition size is stated; the edition designation is Special Edition, in line with the rest of the series as documented here.

Collector notes

The 1991 release continues the two-stock-number pattern that began with 1990: this database lists the green-gown design under both 1871 and 2696. A year-only checklist will merge the two entries, so note the specific number on any example being cataloged. The record designates a Special Edition without a stated edition size. Documented contents for completeness checks include the matching hair bow and the red and silvery accessories listed for the release.
