Barbie 40th Anniversary First Black Doll

Couldn't resist this gorgeous doll. I had black Barbie dolls when I was little in the 60s, but I think they were called Christy -- I didn't even realise that it wasn't until 1980 that a black version with the name Barbie was sold. And what a perfect tribute this is! Looks even better in person.

very beautiful barbie doll,will add it to my collection

My 5 year old niece liked black barbie, and loves it.

A stunningly beautiful doll. My only issue is she's not able to hold onto the clutch without external help from elastic, or blu tack.

Love this product well worth the money

A beautiful Barbie doll-bought this for myself as I loved Barbie growing up and couldn’t resist this one as a collectors item.Packaging was disappointing as so many others have mentioned. The plastic was slightly broken and very scuffed. Hence not giving it 5 stars.

My wife was delighted with this purchase

Absolutely beautiful doll

I've fallen in love with this particular face mold. So I was getting it for that reason. Also, I wanted to have darker dolls in my collection.Surprisingly, this doll is more gorgeous than I anticipated. She is literally stunning. I may buy her again, so that I can keep one in the box.I haven't opened her, but her dress is made well from what I can see. Mattel has been manufacturing Barbie with cheaper materials. Even their high-end dolls clothes have taken a dive. However, the dress on this beautiful doll looks well-made. The material is thick and layered beautifully, from what I can see.Her nails are painted red, too. She appears to have a fuller figure. Not as large as either of the two curvies but fuller than traditional Barbie. She has hips like the flat chest larger hipped doll, but her hips are as large and her chest isn't flat. I'm not sure if it's this amazing dress giving her the VAH-VOOM or if she is really packing. Her hips are giving serious Jessica Rabbit vibes.My only complaint, I just wish all premium Barbies were articulated/ poseable. I love this doll's skin tone and build. I don't want to sacrifice any of that when I buy an additional Barbie and swap, so she's articulated. I'd rather just pay more initially. Not to mention, though Barbie has a diverse line of dolls, they only have a few skin tones/ body builds for articulating their own black dolls. I just try to get close as possible. Barbie has done an excellent job of reflecting all the different shades of women of color and black women. Which makes it challenging to find appropriate body matches. As a result, I have a lot of mis-matchatched Barbies as I can only get close, not perfect. Sadly it's quite noticeable on many.I hope Mattel reads these comments and gives us more shades of black in that curvy yoga body. Please?

Perfecta. Muy rápido el envío y en perfectas condiciones.

This is a fabulous addition to my collection thrilled with it

Tenia mis dudas, ya que algunas reproducciones o tributos no han salido muy bien a Mattel, pero esta chica es excepcional! esta muy bien detallada y su rostro es hermoso, como coleccionista, no te debería faltar, ademas de que llego en tiempo y la caja en excelente condición, algo muy importante para quien colecciona.

Barbie molto bella e sinuosa, con un viso dolcissimo e "nuovo", caratterizzato da una bocca leggermente imbronciata, rossissima e carnosissima! Appena ricevuta l'ho aperta subito ed esposta assieme alle altre Barbie in vetrina. Pagata 49,90 euro (ma il prezzo, si sa, è destinato a salire) non sfigura accanto alle altre Barbie da collezione (Silkstone comprese!). Ho una predilezione per le Barbie afroamericane, e per il corpo Model Muse: non ne escono mai abbastanza e sono sempre più costose delle versioni caucasiche. Sono molto felice dell'acquisto. Suggerisco però, a chi spedisce, di farlo con busta imbottita e non con semplice carta da pacchi a coprire la scatola originale!
