Wanted: Legends of the West (Empire & Excel) and other western historically-based figures. Send me an offer.
Also interested in figures based on literary characters.
Now Cindy is going to want to find one of these. I've never seen it before. Is it an actual Barbie product, or just a generic item for "fashion dolls"?
I have one of these (two actually, but the second was cannibalized to restore the first). It is not a Mattel product but a generic "fashion doll" piece made for Sears. There were two versions, though I don't in what order they were released: one manual which rotated courtesy of a crank and the other (the one in the pic) B.O. which worked by pushing a button.
It's pretty cool but the electronic edition is ridiculously LOUD! Here's a demo on YouTube.
Though there's no official connection I'm convinced Disney's GE-sponsored Carousel of Progress served as inspiration.
They can reach $50+ on eBay. I got mine in a lot of B.O. toys for worked-out to be like $10.
