1982 Dolls of the World Swedish Sweden Barbie Doll #4032 by Mattel

I am an avid collector of the Mattel Barbie Dolls of the World series and have finally added this original beauty to my collection after so many years. And I am so happy I did! This doll is gorgeous and an excellent addition to the current crop of entries in the Dolls of the World series. Mattel made a total of two dolls in the series representing Sweden and both are beautiful in their own right. But this first earlier edition has an decidedly "old world" charm about her (compared to the more "updated" version almost twenty years later), from her duster cap and blouse to her apron and vivid blue peasant skirt. Plus I've always loved the SuperStar face mold, and use of it on this particular doll is utter perfection, from the pale blue eyes to the subtle make-up. I got a really excellent price on this doll, and she is currently flanked between Oman Barbie (a Middle-Eastern looking Barbie doll I have re-dressed in a Fulla Muslim doll deluxe Ramadan costume) and the Princess of South Africa in my curio cabinet. The contrasting hues of their costumes, skin tones and overall presentation provide for a stunning display. I highly recommend this first edition Swedish Barbie for your Dolls of the World collections if you haven't acquired her already. She is a beauty !!!

Box look new on good condition I love it

I like this doll. It's nice and beautiful. The shoes did not fit this doll because they are made for the older dolls with slender ankles.
