Rare Limited Barbie Inspiring Women Principal Chief Wilma Mankiller Doll (HMT92)

Description: Rare Limited Edition Wilma Mankiller Barbie – Unopened with Printing Error Step into the world of collectible Barbie dolls with this rare, limited-edition Wilma Mankiller Barbie. New and unopened, this Barbie retains some of its original price tags, from a brick and mortar store where it has been kept in back stock for a long time in a controlled and smoke free environment. This specific model, no longer produced by Mattel, is increasingly rare and represents a significant piece of both collectible and cultural history. History & Significance: Wilma Mankiller was the first female Chief of the Cherokee Nation, known for her relentless advocacy for Native American rights and her transformative leadership. This Barbie celebrates her legacy and is part of a special edition series honoring influential women in history. Given its limited production run, owning this Barbie is like holding a piece of history in your hands. Collectability: What sets this particular item apart is an infamous printing error. The seal of the Cherokee Nation on this doll is misspelled to read "Chicken Nation." This caused a significant amount of controversy at the time, with members of the Cherokee Nation commenting as well as quite a number of news stories before Mattel responded. Collectors of rare items often seek out such unique flaws, as they add an element of novelty and distinction. This error, combined with the doll’s already significant rarity, makes it a highly desirable addition to any serious collection. For proof this item contains this error, I have photographed the seal -- while many of these dolls contain the error, when purchasing this item for collectability this is an important attribute. Condition & Authenticity: This Wilma Mankiller Barbie is pristine, untouched, and preserved in its original packaging. Its untouched state ensures that all unique aspects, including the notable printing error, are perfectly preserved. The box is in reasonable and as pictured condition with some light marks as shown, as pictured. Why You Need This in Your Collection: Cultural Icon: Honors the legacy of Wilma Mankiller, a pioneering figure in Native American history. Rare Printing Error: The “Chicken Nation” misprint adds to its uniqueness and value. Limited Edition: No longer in production, making it increasingly rare over time. Collector’s Dream: New and unopened with original price tags intact, perfect for display or investment. Don’t miss this opportunity to add a rare and highly collectible piece to your collection. Secure this exceptional Wilma Mankiller Barbie today! Please note that where possible, pictures containing original price tags have been blurred or erased as these items don't go for their original prices any more. However, I have no plans to attempt removal of these tags so as not to damage the item. Some additional facts: Medium complexion, wavy brown hair, brown eyes, 13" length 7" width and produced as part of the Inspiring Women series. Despite the egregious printing error, many Cherokee nation persons have indicated the product is respectfully produced and as accurate as possible for a Barbie made in the image of a person. Among other types of Native American dolls, many consider this Wilma Mankiller doll to be among the best.
