The blue glitter ballgown with its scattered flower appliqués and butterfly sleeves exists to give the whole thing a reason to be Barbie rather than just a chirping bird on a stick, which was presumably a harder sell to the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat most people don't know is that the elastic cord holding the bird above Barbie's hand in the original packaging almost universally fails over time — it's one of the known signatures of this release, and finding one where the bird still sits in position is genuinely unusual. The bird runs on a non-replaceable battery, which means at some point it will go quiet forever, which is either charming or heartbreaking depending on your relationship with small mechanical birds from 1995.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Please note: Her songbird has come loose in the box, however the box is pristine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mattel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indonesia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel #:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14320\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMelody Likes box condition grade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pristine — \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":47696702341310,"sku":"BARBIE-1995-SONGBIRD-BLONDE-DOLL0001","price":156.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4504\/6718\/files\/1995-barbie-songbird-barbie-blonde-doll-nrfb-front.jpg?v=1782133787","url":"https:\/\/melodylikes.com\/products\/1995-barbie-songbird-barbie-blonde-doll-nrfb","provider":"Melody Likes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
