Spring in Tokyo

The fourth Barbie in the City Seasons Collection, Spring in Tokyo Barbie is demure and sophisticated. Mattel also released a Vintage version using the face sculpting and face paint for the original #3 Barbie.


Barbie's dark hair is tied back in a simple knot and has a side parted fringe. I like her hat with the netting, but due to the size of the doll, it is overwhelming and resembled a bee keepers hat! Barbie's makeup is kept simple and she wears white pearl earrings.


Barbie wears a Chanel inspired fitted cream suit, and the fabric resembles raw silk. The suit jacket and pencil skirt is trimmed with navy blue fabric and fine fringe. Even the rounded collar is fringed and is tied with a ribbon bow and fastened with gold buttons. Barbie wears gold and pearl chain necklace and carries a navy blue handbag with a gold chain. She wears a two tone white and navy blue mary jane high heels. Like Winter in Montreal, this Barbie comes with a square doll stand.


Release date: 1 January 1999
Mattel price: US$49.98
Label: Collector Edition
Ebay price as at May 2012: US$40 - US$80
