Celebrating 30 years of Black Barbie, this reproduction doll wears a red shimmery dress with gold collar, red ankle-strap shoes, red dangle earrings, and has an extra; gold-trimmed white tuxedo-style pants suit, reminiscent of the Saturday Night Fever suit worn by John Travolta in the movie of the same name. Accessories include gold shoulder bag, white ankle-strap shoes, red hair pick, red choker, and extra red hoops. There are face cards of SuperStar Christie Fashion Face and Sunsational Malibu Ken (a.k.a. Afro Ken) with Sunsational Malibu Christie at his side. Another card illustrates how to use Black Barbie's hair pick and how to transform the dangle earrings into hoops. The back side of each card describes the dolls' attributes in reproduced text from the original packaging. Also included is a reproduction Barbie World of Fashion booklet, which illustrates Beauty Secrets Christie, several other Barbies, and an array of fashions available for the dolls in 1980.

Staying Power or Not
I was always a very spoilt child, my grandmother (on my father's side)
bought me beautiful (white) dolls, walking dolls, baby dolls etcand my other grandmother was a dressmaker, so she made me
great doll clothes! I have been collecting black dolls for 20 years.
I don't really know why I started collecting only black dolls, probably
because I never had a black doll as a child!!
I used to run a retro clothing stall in our local market and was always
op-shopping, garage saling etc... so every little black face came home with
me!! And of course once I got the ebay bug my collection took off.
These days I only ebay, finding black dolls anywhere else now is a rare thing.
And of course with over 1000 dolls in my collection, I am only looking for particular
dolls these days. And making computer friends (like yourself Debbie!!) has increased
my collection, with black doll collectors selling their collections to me.
