Ultra rare Platinum Hope Diamond Barbie

Hope Diamond Barbie, Italian Doll Convention

Don't wait--if you love Barbie, get your act together and pick up this fantastic ultra limited Platinum edition Barbie from the Italian Doll Convention.

Signed by Robert Best himself, who attended this convention in person, this gorgeous Hope Diamond Barbie is a rare platinum-haired version and an edition of just 180 pieces. You can pick her up from Kathie's Fashion Dolls in mint never-removed-from-box condition at a starting bid of just $379.99 on eBay, or better yet, buy it now for $425.

You get this fantastic price just because of a minor dent in the box on the box cover, as shown in the eBay listing--but don't wait! This doll won't last long! This doll has been selling for $550 and up, and is currently listed at Marl & B for $599! You won't be able to beat this price.

Kathie is known for her fantastic customer service, she is a US dealer, and she ships worldwide. I can personally vouch for her amazing service! Plus, you'll be supporting one of the absolute sweetest doll dealers I know and a dear personal friend. She is a top-rated seller on eBay, has 100% positive feedback, and over 37,000 of them, if I might add!

Several special items from Marl & B

Did you miss out on Nu Mood Bettie from Tonner Doll? Marl & B still has one in stock for close to retail at $51. She is sold out at Tonner Doll and at many dealers (limited edition 500).

Additionally, Marl & B received a limited edition (one of each) of several older and very hard to find Barbie Fashion Models Silkstone dolls, including my favorite, Violette. She is a limited edition of just 999, and I was hoping I might be able to pick her up for Mother's Day--but not at the retail price of $999.99! But you should go click on her photo anyway--she is lovely.

Additionally, you should check out super special platinum edition City Smart (LE600), who was sold only in Japan, listed at $1,999.99 in 2003.

And yesterday, there was a listing for a special brunette version of Chataine listed, for $899.99, but she is already sold out. Congrats to the lucky new owner! Wow!
