Michelle's Barbie Doll Pages

"Ethnic" Dolls -- AFRICA
(not including northern Africa)

Dolls (and fashions) representing people of African descent (African-Americans, Jamaicans, etc.)
 

BLACK BARBIE
The dolls on this page are all made by Mattel and all use the Barbie name.  They are generally available in a Caucasian version wearing the same fashion (although not always with the same head mold).
 

Magic Curl Barbie (black version) -- 1981

 
 
 

Working Woman Barbie -- 1999

 



COLLECTOR EDITION BARBIES (the expensive kind)

Sapphire Sophisticate Barbie

 
 

Kitty Black Perkins designed the Fashion Savvy Collection, a special series showcasing the style of the modern African-American woman.  These dolls are not available in a Caucasian version.  This collection includes Tangerine Twist Barbie (1997) and Uptown Chic Barbie (1998).

You can't tell from this picture, but Uptown Chic Barbie has flocked hair like Kenyan Barbie.
 
 

Byron Lars designed the Runway Sensation series.  This collection includes Cinnabar Sensation Barbie (1998), and Plum Royal Barbie (1999).
