Miss Barbie
While working on research I ran across the following Miss Barbie boxes.
I never really noticed that Miss Barbie has two boxes. The first box has a yellow seat and the second has an orange seat. It also now has “Lawn Swing Inside” on the package. The rest of the box is the same. I love finding these items that I did not know or just did not see with Barbie. I have been collecting since I was sixteen and learning new things every day.
