Barbie - Barbie doll LOTTO PLAYSET BARBIE VINTAGE MATTEL BUBBLING SPA 1983 + DANCE STUDIO 1990 BOX - 1980-1990 - U.S.

Lot of 2 Vintage BARBIE MATTEL Playsets – Bubbling Spa (1983) & Dream Dance Studio (1990) – With Original Boxes
An incredible opportunity for collectors and fans of the vintage Barbie world: a combined lot featuring two historic and much-loved playsets made by Mattel between the 1980s and the early 1990s, both complete with their original period boxes.
The lot includes exactly the following two items:
1. BARBIE BUBBLING SPA (1983 – Item No. 7145): The iconic fuchsia and turquoise octagonal hot tub, operated by a mechanical hand pump. Includes the main tub, its hard-to-find original yellow entry railing, and the original period box (which shows the usual signs of age and storage).
• Condition note: The set is NOT COMPLETE. The smaller accessories and plastic pieces (trays, pitchers, glasses) are missing. The pump mechanism presses normally, but as it has not been tested with water, it is being sold with no guarantee that it is watertight.
2. BARBIE DREAM DANCE STUDIO / BALLROOM (1990 – Item No. 4165): The striking three-panel folding case with an interior mirror, drawer units, and wonderful exterior graphics depicting Barbie and Ken dancing. Includes the main structure and its original period box (worn, with tears on the flaps and traces of old adhesive tape).
• Condition note: The set is NOT COMPLETE. The original chairs, hangers, and interior makeup accessories are missing. As shown in the detailed photos, the pink plastic of the upper shell has a localized crack with a small piece missing near the closing joint.
Overall condition of the lot (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY):
Both items are used, vintage, and from a private collection. They are being sold strictly in the condition shown in the extensive photos provided, on an “As Seen and Liked” (As Is) basis. Ideal for completion projects, restoration enthusiasts, or as fantastic vintage display backdrops.
