Product description

“Greek Mythology- centuries old- tells the story of Medusa. Born a nymph, Medusa grew to be a beautiful woman. One day, Poseidon, the God of the Sea, followed her to Athena’s Temple. The Goddess Athena, enraged by their transgression, transformed Medusa’s lovely face to a frightening mask and her beautiful hair to snakes. Powerful and cruel, Medusa, from then on, turned all who gazed upon her to stone.

The famous myth of the infamous Medusa inspires a wonderful re-interpretation. Barbie doll as Medusa wears a green corset and chiffon fishtail skirt. Long, auburn curls play against the golden snake arm cuffs and necklace, which foretell the serpents that will become her hair. Ancient myth and contemporary fashion combine to create a “magical” doll.”

This doll was a Gold Label Collector release, and was a Limited Edition of 6,500. It is also the first in the Goddess Series.
