The doll is directly inspired by a real 1907 Coca-Cola advertisement — the white skirt with red polka dots, red lace capelet, flower-trimmed hat, parasol and the Coca-Cola glass and holder she carries are all drawn from that specific source image. The attention to period detail is unusually high for a licensed collaboration doll of this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Coca-Cola Fashion Classic Series ran for several entries and became one of the more collectible Barbie collaboration lines of the 1990s, but the first release has a particular appeal — the 1907 source material is evocative enough to carry the whole concept, and the Edwardian silhouette gives this doll a visual character that the later entries in the series, which drew from different decades, never quite matched. The book-style display box with its Coca-Cola brand history text on the interior panels adds a collector presentation quality to what is already a well-conceived release.\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 15762\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":47643708686526,"sku":"BARBIE-1996-COCA-COL-SODAFOUN-DOLL0001","price":156.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4504\/6718\/files\/1996-barbie-coca-cola-soda-fountain-sweetheart-doll-nrfb-front.jpg?v=1781573498","url":"https:\/\/melodylikes.com\/products\/1996-barbie-coca-cola-soda-fountain-sweetheart-doll-nrfb","provider":"Melody Likes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
