45th Anniversary Barbie Doll

The 45th Anniversary Barbie doll, stock number G7216, is a 2004 Limited Edition release in the Barbie Fashion Model Collection, designed by Robert Best and produced on the Silkstone body for the adult collector segment. Its original retail price was $59.97. Issued to mark the Barbie brand's 45th anniversary, the doll wears a form-fitting anniversary dress in a graffiti print, worn with a faux fur stole in snow white. Her hair is braided, and her jewelry consists of rhinestone stud earrings with pearl drop dangles; the faux fur stole completes the accessory set. The graffiti print connects this single-doll release to the companion giftset pairing the 45th Anniversary Barbie doll with a Ken doll, stock number C4656, which release records list from 2003 with Barbie in a black gown carrying a pink-and-white graffiti print. Within the Barbie Fashion Model Collection, the anniversary doll sits alongside Robert Best's broader run of Silkstone fashion dolls, with its dress tying it specifically to the anniversary theme. For identification, the combination of the graffiti-print dress, white faux fur stole, braided hairstyle, and pearl-drop rhinestone earrings defines the factory presentation of stock number G7216.

Release records also list a companion 2003 giftset, stock number C4656, pairing the 45th Anniversary Barbie doll with Ken and sharing the graffiti-print anniversary theme, so collectors tracking the anniversary releases should distinguish the two by stock number and format. Identification points for G7216: graffiti-print form-fitting dress, snow-white faux fur stole, braided hair, and rhinestone stud earrings with pearl drop dangles, all on the Silkstone body.
