Black Barbie 45th Anniversary

Black Barbie 45th

As written on the back of this lovely doll's box in English and several other languages, "Barbie™ celebrates Black History Month with a 45th-anniversary tribute to the first ever Black Barbie® and her creator Kitty (Louvenia) Black Perkins."

This lovely doll is seen in a full-view photo.

Designed by Kitty Black Perkins, this deep-complexioned doll uses the Simone head sculpt, has a ModelMuse body, and wears a red satin slim silhouette gown. This doll's predecessors are shown below.

The 1st Black Barbie from 1980 is joined by the 30th Anniversary reproduced 1st Black Barbie (2010), and the 40th Anniversary 1st Black Barbie (2020).
