11 1/2″ & 12 1/2″ Vinyl 60th Anniversary Pink Label ” The Diet” with Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz from Episode Four of I Love Lucy. The dolls came with the following information:
“Barbie Collector celebrates I Love Lucy’s 60th anniversary with a handsome Lucy and Ricky collectible gift set. Since 1951, I Love Lucy has been a favorite TV show. The black and white series aired from October 15, 1951 until May 6, 1957 and told the hysterical tales of Lucy and Ricky Ricardo and their landlords, neighbors, and best friends, Fred and Ethel Mertz. Today, this classic comedy is still seen in syndication around the world and remains as fresh and vibrant as when we first meet the zany redhead and her handsome, Cuban bandleader husband.
Season 1 brought us Episode 4, “The Duet”, originally broadcast on October 29th, 1951. While the four friends are discussing their weight gains, Lucy insists that she is actually the same size as when she married. However, she is horrified to learn that she has gained 22 pounds. Striking a deal with Ricky, Lucy commits to fit into a costume for Ricky’s nightclub show. Can she possibly shed 12 pounds in 4 days? Of course, she pulls it off-and performs brilliantly.too!
” The Diet” gift set, commemorating 60 years of timeless television, concludes this series of I Love Lucy dolls that began in 1998 with the Vitamealavegamin episode and included over 25 dolls-from Lucy’s Italian Movie to L.A. At Last! and so many more!”
I purchased the dolls in 2011 from the Barbie Collector Catalog.
