The Tokyo entry is the Spring outing: Barbie attends the Annual Springtime Picnic under the cherry blossom trees in downtown Tokyo, dressed in a cream shantung silk suit with navy trim and ruffled collar detailing, a wide-brimmed hat with navy mesh veil, a pearl and gold chain necklace, and a gold-chain handbag in navy. The face uses a sculpt with dark brown ponytailed hair and defined brows — a more tailored look than the standard play-line Barbie of the same period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe City Seasons Collection covered four releases: Autumn in Paris, Winter in Montreal, Summer in San Francisco, and Spring in Tokyo — each with a city-specific outfit and cultural reference point. Spring in Tokyo is the only Asian city in the set, and the cream-and-navy palette with the wide veiled hat is a reference to the kind of refined Showa-era Japanese fashion that the cherry blossom season represented. The series came with a certificate of authenticity, doll stand and reply card.\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 19430\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":47701371486398,"sku":"BARBIE-1999-CITYSEAS-SPRINGIN-DOLL0001","price":156.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4504\/6718\/files\/1999-barbie-city-seasons-collection-spring-in-tokyo-doll-nrfb-front.jpg?v=1782213646","url":"https:\/\/melodylikes.com\/products\/1999-barbie-city-seasons-collection-spring-in-tokyo-doll-nrfb","provider":"Melody Likes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
