--- Harley Davidson Barbie #5 http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000056VNP.01.PT02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg From Toysrus.com & Amazon.com Amazon.com With her long coppery hair and the colorful flames on her sleek riding outfit, this Harley-Davidson Barbie makes motorcycle cruising glamorous. Emblazoned with yellow and orange flames on the legs, the black faux-leather pants sport a tan leather belt with a large Harley-Davidson belt buckle. The matching jacket has flames on its sleeves, a real working zipper, and "Harley-Davidson" written across the chest. To complete her look, Barbie wears chunky black boots, a silver chain around her waist, large hoop earrings, and wraparound shades. Also included are a small messenger bag (just big enough for essentials) and a motorcycle helmet that matches her outfit. Although Barbie can't stand unsupported [typical dba!] , she has movable joints and can be posed easily on the included plastic stand [convenient for meetings with damagement]. She comes with a ***certificate of authenticity*** [OCP????????]. Barbie's biker pal, Ken, and the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy motorcycle are sold separately. This Toys "R" Us exclusive is the last in the line of the Barbie Harley-Davidson series. Supplies are limited. ---Received on Fri Apr 27 2001 - 19:49:55 CDT
