The doll wears a floor-length black and gold gown with a gold-scrollwork embossed skirt, a black marabou feather wrap at the shoulders, and gold hair jewellery — a presentation that sits clearly at the collector end of the Toys R Us range rather than the play line shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Toys R Us annual Special Limited Edition Barbie was a consistent feature of the early-to-mid nineties collector market, and Moonlight Magic was among the more dramatic of them — the black and gold combination was unusual for the era and gave the doll a visual identity that distinguished it from the red, blue and pink that dominated most Special Edition releases of 1993. The African American version (10609) was released simultaneously. Both are among the harder Toys R Us exclusives from this period to find in the original box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mattel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Malaysia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel #:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10608\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMelody Likes box condition grade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent — \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":47701370667198,"sku":"BARBIE-1993-TOYSRUSS-MOONLIGH-DOLL0001","price":134.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4504\/6718\/files\/1993-barbie-toys-r-us-special-limited-edition-moonlight-magic-doll-nrfb-front.jpg?v=1782213811","url":"https:\/\/melodylikes.com\/products\/1993-barbie-toys-r-us-special-limited-edition-moonlight-magic-doll-nrfb","provider":"Melody Likes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
