Raggedy Ann was created by Johnny Gruelle in 1915 for his daughter Marcella, the stories were published from 1918, and the character has been in continuous production in some form ever since. She has now also been in a Mattel giftset with Barbie, which she did not see coming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Storybook Favorites series was quietly one of the more interesting things Mattel did in the early 2000s - pairing Barbie's little sister with classic characters from outside the Barbie universe required actual licensing work and creative commitment, and the results hold up better than most of the themed collector releases from the same era. The Raggedy Ann giftset specifically appeals to three separate collector communities simultaneously, which is an unusually broad reach for a single box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nManufacturer: Mattel\u003cbr\u003e\nCountry of manufacture: China\u003cbr\u003e\nModel #: 56834\u003cbr\u003e\nMelody Likes box condition grade: 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\"\u003eView our box condition guide\u003c\/a\u003e","brand":"Melody Likes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49173314863294,"sku":"KELLY-2002-STORYBOO-RAGGEDYA-DLGFT","price":116.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4504\/6718\/files\/2002-kelly-storybook-favorites-raggedy-ann-doll-giftset-1.jpg?v=1790590406","url":"https:\/\/melodylikes.com\/products\/2002-kelly-storybook-favorites-raggedy-ann-doll-giftset","provider":"Melody Likes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
