The 1939 MGM cast photograph printed at the bottom of the box places the doll squarely in the film rather than the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBillie Burke, who played Glinda in the original 1939 film, was 54 when it was made — something the pink bubble and the high voice completely disguised. MGM had already told her she was \"too old\" to play herself in their 1936 Ziegfeld biopic, so she turned up to Oz three years later and became one of the most recognisable characters in cinema history instead. The film turned 60 in 1999 — the same year as this doll — which was not a coincidence. Mattel's licensing team got very good at anniversary timing.\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 25813\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":47696702800062,"sku":"BARBIE-1999-WIZARDOF-BARBIEAS-DOLL0001","price":173.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4504\/6718\/files\/1999-barbie-wizard-of-oz-collection-barbie-as-glinda-doll-nrfb-front.jpg?v=1782133794","url":"https:\/\/melodylikes.com\/products\/1999-barbie-wizard-of-oz-collection-barbie-as-glinda-doll-nrfb","provider":"Melody Likes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
