What comes with the Classic Barbie American Girl doll?

The Classic Barbie American Girl doll looks so much like the iconic original. She stands 18″ tall and comes with her recognizable black-and-white bathing suit. The suit, itself, features 455 black and clear Swarovski crystals.

Her outfit also includes fashionable cat-eye sunglasses with blue lenses, golden hoop earrings, and black peep-toe shoes. She has stunning blue eyes that open and close and her retro makeup includes black winged eyeliner, blue eyeshadow, red lips, and red nail polish. Blonde hair styled in a topknot ponytail with curled bangs completes her signature look.

Classic Barbie American Girl Doll certificates and wrist band

Like other American Girl dolls, this one has a soft cotton body with a moveable vinyl head and limbs. She comes with her very own wooden and metal display stand and a pink wrist tag and certificate card that indicate she is an official replica of the very first Barbie doll.

This doll is pretty amazing and would make a truly great gift for any serious Barbie collector.

The American Girl website has a countdown that ends at midnight. However, the listing says that pre-order begins at 6 a.m. PST on November 30, 2023.

    I was all in until I saw the price tag! Wow!!
    A great collector item with only 5000 being made, but I just can’t justify $300.

    I love Barbie and American girl but that is the weirdest looking doll!

    Your info is incorrect about signing up for the AG rewards today to gain early access. Berry level has is earned with a certain spending level over the year. If you sign up today, you won’t get early access.

      Thanks so much for the heads up on this, Allison. We’ve updated the details in the post. 💓

    If you have the ability to buy this, you will make money on it. I bought my daughter a LE nutcracker doll for $300 one year then she changed her mind 😡
    Went on eBay, and the stupid dolls were selling for more than DOUBLE. Honestly I thought anyone insane enough to spend $800-1200 on a DOLL, I’ll take the money and give it to charity. How dumb! And here I felt like a chump for spending $300! I’m not at the berry level anymore, but if I would get the doll just to make the money off the crazy eBay shoppers.
