All About the Face

Club Wedd Barbie uses the Mackie head sculpt.

Club Wedd Barbie uses the ©1991 Mackie head sculpt which is rarely used on Black/African American Barbies. Originally sold as a Special Edition Target exclusive, this doll was purchased mint but nude. 

Club Wedd uses a non-articulated body with click-bend knees and slightly bent arms at the elbows.

I dressed her in a white party dress.

Because of her coiffed hair and pearl necklace, I dressed her in a white party dress and transparent pumps. The lacy bodice is strapless and the skirt is layered tulle.

She models this simple, yet elegant ensemble below:

The hair is stiffened with curled-up ends and side-swept bangs.

This photo illustrates the back of the hairstyle. 

Here she is one final time.

African American Rapunzel Barbie from 1997 uses the Mackie head sculpt.

Other known Black dolls that use this lovely head sculpt include Rapunzel (shown above), Avon-exclusive Lemon-Lime Sorbet (1998), Pottery Barn Kids Barbie (1999), and Mariposa (2008). The only linkable images found online of African American Mariposa are in eBay auctions. Search eBay to view current listings of Mariposa.  

I love the Mackie sculpt!
