Description from the seller
Relive the icon that changed everything with this special edition My Favorite Barbie: 1959, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the very first Barbie. A faithful reissue of the iconic model that caused a sensation at the New York Toy Fair on March 9, 1959, this doll perfectly captures the timeless elegance and glamorous aura of the original.
Dressed in the famous black-and-white striped swimsuit, with a blonde ponytail and a captivating gaze, this Barbie embodies the sophisticated spirit of the early days to perfection. This collector’s box also includes a reproduction of the Solo in the Spotlight dress (#982, 1960), a sparkling black evening gown with a delicate red rose and a microphone for guaranteed diva vibes.
As a bonus, you’ll find a reissued vintage booklet and exclusive collectible cards, revealing archival images and untold anecdotes about Barbie’s history. An absolute must-have for Barbie enthusiasts and collectors, paying homage to the doll that redefined fashion and toys across decades.
With his unmatched talent, Bob Mackie designs a resplendent gown that captures the sun’s radiance and the magic of golden rays. The dress shines with thousands of sequins and golden crystals, evoking the dazzling light of the sun, while the flamboyant details recall the majestic flames surrounding the goddess Solara.

When the “Goddess of the Sun Barbie” comes to light, she instantly becomes an icon of beauty and power. Collectors around the world clamour for this unique creation, eager to possess a piece of this solar magic.
Thus, thanks to Bob Mackie’s ingenuity and the power of imagination, the “Goddess of the Sun Barbie” emerges as an embodiment of the day’s splendor, reminding all of the magic and warmth that reside in the sun’s golden rays of the universe.
Seller's Story
Chimay Collection House is a cultural and collecting project from Belgium, where art, history, and investment potential come together.
It was founded in Chimay (ʃi-mɛ), a historic principality in Wallonia, Belgium, within an 18th-century home that became a symbol of continuity. Just as stone preserves the passage of time, collections live on, passing from one generation to another.
The project is led by a Belgian-trained antique dealer with over 15 years of experience. At its core lies art history and a philosophy that views collecting both as cultural heritage and as a long-term value.
We have chosen two fields where passion and investment converge:
— Costume Jewelry of the 20th century — collectible pieces, many documented in major reference books and catalogues.
— Collectible Barbie Dolls — iconic editions that reflect fashion, design, and the culture of their time.
Chimay Collection House is not static — it grows and evolves. Its mission is to act as a guide for collectors worldwide, helping them to discover beauty, understand value, and shape the future through collections.
