  "account": "Barbie has reintroduced its first-ever Diwali doll, celebrating the Festival of Lights, also known as Diwali. The limited-edition collectible, collaboratively designed with Indian fashion designer Anita Dongre, sold out quickly upon release in 2024. The Barbie Diwali doll, priced at $74.99 on Amazon and $97 on Walmart, is adorned in a Moonlight Bloom set featuring a choli top, floral Koti vest, and lehenga skirt embellished with dahlias, jasmine, and Indian lotus. These motifs symbolize strength and beauty, as described in a press release. Initially retailing around $40, the doll has since gained collector's value, making it a rare find online. Mattel, the company behind Barbie, hasn't produced another Diwali doll since, so it's advised to purchase this collectible before it sells out again. Anita Dongre expressed her enthusiasm for the collaboration, noting that the doll aligns with her mission to empower through fashion and celebrates Indian heritage. For those unable to afford the Diwali doll, Barbie also offers a similarly Indian-inspired doll in the \"Fashionistas\" collection, priced at $7.99, and currently on sale for $11.99 (33% off) on Amazon. This doll, featuring flowing brown hair and a turquoise snake print skirt and top, with black strappy heels, embodies diversity and offers storytelling and fashion exploration opportunities, reflecting the world kids see today. Diwali, one of the biggest Hindu celebrations celebrated in India and other countries like the U.S., this year runs from November 6 to 10, 2026, with the official Diwali day on November 8.",
