AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very rare and iconic “Fashion Plaza Barbie” playset produced by Mattel in 1981/1982 (Cat. No. 8750), complete with its elusive original vintage box in Italian.
A masterpiece of vintage Barbie collecting, featuring a large, two-level shopping mall connected by the famous manually operated, crank-driven escalator.
The lot includes the illustrated original box, the supporting structure made of plastic and rigid cardboard with columns and railings, the dressing-room section with a reflective, mirror-effect wall, the jewelry/accessories display counter, and two fuchsia lounge chairs.
When assembled, the playset measures approximately 84 cm long and 46 cm high, making for an impressive, eye-catching display.
A vintage used item, preserved in excellent overall condition, with a perfectly working escalator mechanism and white plastic parts in good condition.
Regarding its condition, please note a couple of small tears on the back of the cardboard backdrop, reinforced with adhesive tape for stability (details shown in the dedicated photographs).
Please note that the table and matching chairs for the bar area are missing.
