The 35th Anniversary Barbie doll was a faithful reproduction of the original 1959 Barbie, featuring the iconic black-and-white striped swimsuit, classic ponytail hairstyle, sunglasses, and open-toed heels. The blonde and brunette versions come in a clear display box, with a faithful replica of the original box with vintage Barbie illustrations and logos inside as a background piece.

Over the years, several anniversary dolls have been released, celebrating significant milestones in Barbie's history. Notably, the 40th anniversary featured a diverse range of dolls, including African American and brunette versions. Additionally, to commemorate Barbie's 65th anniversary, a special series was launched that included the Barbie Fashion Model Collection and exclusive commemorative editions.
