Irish Barbie Doll Views
Mattel made the first Irish Barbie as part of their Dolls of the World (DOTW) series in 1984. They have revisited the Irish theme three times since then in the DOTW series. In 1995 the second DOTW Irish Barbie doll was made, followed by the Irish Princess in 2002 and the Irish Dance Barbie in 2007.
The Irish theme was popular enough for Mattel to create an entire series dedicated to the Legends of Ireland series featuring Barbie as historical and mythical figures from Ireland's history including an Irish Bard, Faerie Queen, Iseult, Deirdre of Ulster, and Aine, the Irish Goddess of Love. These dolls make delightful additions to St. Patrick's Day displays and decorating.

Designed by Sharon Zuckerman, Irish Dance™ Barbie® doll evokes all the beauty and charm of Gaelic culture. The Celtic-chic ensemble is a striking jade green, reminiscent of Ireland's lush countryside and spirited like the feiseanna itself. Step-dancing has never looked so good!w"
