"Happy New Year Barbie 1996 (early spring 1997)" is a special Barbie doll released from the latter half of 1996 to early spring 1997. Typically, Barbie's New Year series features designs celebrating the new year, released in December or during the winter of that year. However, this special edition had a delayed release, celebrating the early spring of 1997, extending beyond the new year of 1996. Unlike the typical New Year's attire, this Barbie doll symbolizes the transition to a new season. Her dress and accessories reflect the change from winter to spring, exuding an atmosphere of hope and vitality. This special edition Barbie expresses the joy of the new year and the anticipation of new beginnings. The sizes provided are for the package box, not the actual size of the doll.
