The first Grand Entrance, a year earlier, was designed by Carter Bryant. A Guide to Collecting is tucked into the back of the box, which is the kind of packaging detail that signals this is a purchase for someone who is already serious about what they're doing. The series was built on the premise that the designers themselves were the story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarter Bryant left Mattel shortly after designing the first Grand Entrance and launched Bratz in 2001 — the same year Zuckerman's doll arrived at retail. Bratz went on to capture 40% of the fashion doll market within five years, triggering a $500 million lawsuit from Mattel and one of the most litigated toy industry disputes in American commercial history. The Guide to Collecting packed in with this doll does not mention any of that.\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 53841\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":47696699719870,"sku":"BARBIE-2001-GRANDENT-GRANDENT-DOLL0001","price":222.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4504\/6718\/files\/2001-barbie-grand-entrance-collection-grand-entrance-doll-nrfb-front.jpg?v=1782133752","url":"https:\/\/melodylikes.com\/products\/2001-barbie-grand-entrance-collection-grand-entrance-doll-nrfb","provider":"Melody Likes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
