Reviews of Barbie Collector Fashion Model Collection 1959 Doll African

Customer Ratings:

The African American 1959 Debut Barbie is absolutely gorgeous! I love her deep, caramel brown complexion and her up-to-date, black and white, sequined bathing suit. Her genuine Silkstone body adds to her originality, authenticity, and appeal. The colorful, fashion-illustrated box reminds me of the actual Barbie boxes and the fashions that I enjoyed dressing my original brunette bubblecut Barbie and other Barbies in as a child.

Even though I had to wait 50 years to own an authentic, African American, #1 Barbie dressed in a black and white bathing suit, I am happy that she arrived during my lifetime. Thank you Mattel for finally getting it right.

If you are thinking of starting a Barbie Doll collection, this is a MUST HAVE. If you just want one Barbie and can't decide which one to get,this is a MUST HAVE! (BlK or White) it looks so much better in person. To make it even more collectable it is no longer available on the Barbie website, It's the first of it's kind and it is limited to only 6,500. That is nothing in the Barbie world. Don't wait for those higher second market prices. GET IT NOW! I wish I could have gotten more.

She's cute, classy and very well made. However, Mattel (via Mr. Robert West) would have it no other way.

Honest reviews on Barbie Collector Fashion Model Collection 1959 Doll African

The doll was everything I expected. She was in great condition, the packaging was good,all the pieces were there.

She was not tied/attached down to the box,it looked like she had been removed from the box and put back and not reattached to the box. But that aside everything was fine and I'm satisfied with my purchased. Thanks
