Bessie Coleman Barbie IRL

Mattel Shipper for the Bessie Coleman Barbie, stock #HJX37-9993

I've taken a couple of photos of my Bessie Coleman Barbie from the Barbie Inspiring Women series after removing it from the Mattel shipper. (Thank you Amazon for leaving the doll's box in the original shipper and for shipping it inside another box with air packing material!) I'll take more photos later to use in the doll's museum installation. 

The doll uses the Desiree/Adria head sculpt.

This full-length photo illustrates the doll's 1920s-inspired aviator suit with the initials BC on the cap.

I tried to scan the entire back of the box, but the scanner interestingly only picked up the image of Ms. Coleman, which is illustrated next.

Ms. Coleman's bio from the back of the doll box is captured in the final photo.

For around $35, the Bessie Coleman Barbie is available online on Amazon and Target at the time of this post. The doll is in preorder status at the Mattel Creations website.
