Product Information
Barbie shows off her team spirit in a Chicago Cubs baseball uniform. Barbie and baseball, two great American pastimes with fond associations for many generations of collectors all over the world. With the Chicago Cubs crowned MLB World Series Champions in 2016, there may have never been a better time to buy Cubs memorabilia to add to your collection. There are few teams in sports with such a storied history as the Chicago Cubs and few toys as famous as Mattel’s Barbie doll, a staple that women all over the world remember from their teenage years. Whether this Mattel Barbie doll is part of a pristine collection or meant to be played with, she can bring hours of pleasure. Barbie can cheer for today’s World Champion Cubs or go back through the years when the roster was filled with such players as Mark Grace, Sammy Sosa, Jon Lieber, Gary Gaetti, Jeff Blauser, Steve Trachsel, Benito Santiago, Kevin Tapani, or Roosevelt Brown. Or she can go all the way back to the 1908 World Series, the last time Wrigley Field was home to the champion Chicago Cubs. For collectors with a focus on Barbie dolls, there can be no shortage of history there, dating all the way back to Ruth Handler, former Mattel president, and creator of the very first Barbie doll. The Mattel Barbie doll is one of the most iconic toys in American history, and each series of dolls, especially those preserved in their original boxes, can be a true collectible. This doll, part of the Barbie Loves Sports collection, endorsed by MLB and affiliates, can be an impressive addition to any Mattel Barbie Doll collection. She is dressed hair to shoes in Cubs fashions and accessories and is all ready to join her favorite Ken doll at Wrigley Field to cheer for her favorite Cubs players on opening day. This Barbie doll appears to be a serious fan; she watches every game in the series and knows every player on the roster. She can give Ken a run for his money in stats and batting averages. Sporting a Cubs hat, jacket, and blue and white pinstriped uniform with attached blue socks in the fashion of old time players, Mattel has gone out of its way to make this Barbie doll an authentic collectible with details down to a shiny silver belt buckle and the buttons on her jacket and uniform top. She carries her own glove and ball and wears cleats, ready to jump on the field at any time to help out her favorite team. All the dolls in the Barbie Loves Sports collection are fully decked out in typical Barbie fashion to support their favorite teams. They might even make a good luck charm to have on hand during critical games. You can pluck the fan Barbie doll from your collection when the game is on, and hope for the best. Even if the best team doesn’t win, this Cubs Barbie doll can fill out the owner’s collection nicely.Product Identifiers
