Hello 👋 1980s Black Barbie is absolutely stunning!! I had her as a kid and since repurchased her for my collection. I agree Mattel released many black dolls such as Francie, Julia and Christie. However they were presented as “Barbies friends”. 1980 black Barbie is considered the first “Black Barbie” as Barbie herself. She’s lovely and should be celebrated!! 🎉
