I love you "boring" female characters. I love you ingenues. I love you female characters who aren't "modern" enough. I love you female characters who aren't "badass" enough. iI love you female characters who aren't "empowering" enough. I love you quiet female characters. I love you unappreciated female characters. I love you polite female characters. I love you female characters who "can't appeal to modern audiences." I love you frightened female characters. I love you female characters labeled as not complex just for being nice. I love you female characters who get criticism just for not being their tomboy or femme fatale counterpart. I love you silk hiding steel trope.

In 2004, Mattel produced a Silver Label collectors edition Barbie as Titania from A Midsummer Night's Dream - specifically the ballet, rather than the Shakespeare play.
Barbie's traditionally pointed toes to fit into a variety of high heels are even more sharply on display here, as Titania is portrayed as being en pointe in her ballet shoes.
This particular doll was also released as a Hallmark ornament. Note that this is not another version of Titania - this is specifically Barbie as Titania.
This same series featured Barbie as Juliet from Romeo and Juliet - again, the ballet.
This is specifically as distinct from the other tie-in Barbie for Romeo and Juliet, which features both a Barbie and a Ken.
I couldn't find a clear answer on how many Titania or Juliet ballet Barbies were released, but as Silver Label collectors items, the number would have been capped at no more than 50,000.

OVERHATED CHARACTERS POLL: Juliet Capulet (Romeo and Juliet)
Feel free to explain your position in the comments or tags, but any harassment, over-the-top fighting, or personal attacks will result in you being blocked. Do not attack real people, be they fans or creators, over fictional characters. (Although if you decide to attack famously-dead Shakespeare, good fucking luck with that.)
Mod note: I have a whole speech ready at any given moment about why Juliet doesn't deserve the hate.

RIP Juliet Capulet, you would have loved looking out of car windows pretending you’re in a sad music video…
