UNICEF was created at the very first session of the United Nations in 1946, and this partnership placed Mattel a full decade ahead of the cause marketing wave that would eventually become standard practice in consumer goods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe doll arrived in 1989, the same year the UN General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child — the most widely ratified human rights treaty in history. The poster inside the box and the sash across the bodice placed UNICEF Barbie in that specific historical moment, and made her simultaneously a collector doll and a piece of late-eighties political optimism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mattel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel #:\u003c\/strong\u003e #1920\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMelody Likes box condition grade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4504\/6718\/files\/MelodyLikes-Doll-Box-Condition-Guide_05303af8-20b2-4137-8091-87f3c51d9668.png?v=1773150063\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eView our box condition guide\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mattel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47488009666750,"sku":"BARBIE-1989-UNICEFSP-BLONDE-DOLL0001","price":100.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4504\/6718\/files\/1989-barbie-unicef-special-edition-blonde-doll-nrfb-front.jpg?v=1779363593","url":"https:\/\/melodylikes.com\/products\/1989-barbie-unicef-special-edition-blonde-doll-nrfb","provider":"Melody Likes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
