This Mattel Barbie Collector figure was selected for its precise reference to a defining moment in American television history. Depicting Lucy Ricardo as portrayed by Lucille Ball in the episode I Love Lucy: “The Audition,” the piece captures a performance that helped cement the show’s lasting cultural influence.
The figure recreates Lucy’s onstage cello performance, a scene remembered for its physical comedy and theatrical timing. Dressed in period-appropriate costume and paired with the cello accessory, the composition references the episode’s staging rather than presenting a generic character likeness. The result is an object rooted in a specific broadcast moment, intended to be recognized as narrative rather than novelty.
Produced as part of the Mattel Barbie Collector series, the figure reflects the early 2000s approach to licensed collectibles that emphasized episode accuracy, costume detail, and display presentation. The packaging reinforces this intent, framing the figure as a commemorative object tied to television history rather than a playline release.
The doll is new and remains sealed in its original box. The packaging is intact and well preserved, and the piece presents cleanly for display or archival keeping.
Mattel item number K7924, produced in 2007.
