Designer Sharon Zuckerman gave this edition a darker, more road-worn aesthetic than the first — distressed faux leather and fur jacket, studs, buckles, cap, scarf, and satchel bag, all bearing the official Harley-Davidson logo. The bike she accompanies is a gleaming XL 1200c Sportster 1200 Custom, rendered to scale as a display piece rather than a working toy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Harley-Davidson Barbie series ran from 1997 through the early 2000s and is one of the cleaner examples of a brand collaboration that genuinely made sense — both names carry significant cultural weight in American popular iconography, and the resulting dolls were marketed explicitly to adult collectors. The second edition builds on the first with more elaborate riding kit and a slightly more rugged silhouette, appealing to the segment of the collector base that felt the debut had been slightly too polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\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 20441\u003c\/p\u003e\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":47643728314558,"sku":"BARBIE-1998-HARLEY-D-BRUNETTE-DOLL0001","price":167.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4504\/6718\/files\/1998-barbie-harley-davidson-collector-edition-series-brunette-_232-doll-nrfb-front.jpg?v=1781573590","url":"https:\/\/melodylikes.com\/products\/1998-barbie-harley-davidson-collector-edition-series-brunette-2-doll-nrfb","provider":"Melody Likes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
