G8890 mattel. from doll reference 2005 Evening Splendor Vintage Barbie Reproduction This is a reproduction of Vintage Barbie Evening Splendour #961 (1959-1964) and a Blonde Ponytail Barbie. I find it interesting that Mattel changed the spelling on this reproduction - the original is known as Evening Splendour, the repro as Splendor! It is still easy to find . In my opinion, this is not one of the best reproductions by Mattel, as the brocade fabric, while very similar, is not as pretty or rich as the original. Plus I can never figure out why they can't get the brown color right on the reproduction shoes. The original Brown Open Toes Shoes are very dark brown. The repros are always a much lighter brown. this item will be available in October
