Barbie’s First Dream House

In 1960, Babs got a house.

Colorful and simply designed, it was a clear example of one of the principles of modern architecture: "Form follows function."

It was made of card, and it folded up neatly into its own carrying case, handle included. One could put together the furniture that came standard with the home, and set it up in different ways.

Outfitted with a closet and vanity, as well as lots of Scandinavian-style furniture including a bed, love seat and coffee table, chair and side table, record cabinet and more, it was a pretty good deal for a doll like Barbie. She had numerous places to sit (too bad her legs didn't bend!), a bright and cheerful decor, and plenty of storage space.

Barbie's New Dream House

But always in search of the bigger, better deal, Barbie traded up in the early 60's.

She went for House # 4092. This was a change from the original Dream House in several ways -- not only was it significantly bigger, but one could set up the house itself in different ways, not just the furniture inside.

This house had plenty of built-ins, such as a closet, cupboard, range hood, and fireplace. Furniture included a bed with nightstand, four chairs, a chaise lounge, a television with three reversible pictures (high-definition has nothing on Barbie!) and more. It also featured a sliding door and an authentic metal rod in the closet.

One of the most notable doll in this era was Malibu Barbie, which used the Stacey face and represented a significant shift in Barbie's evolution. She was made from 1971 to 1977.Malibu Barbie Doll

Superstar BarbieThe next big shift in Barbie Doll History occured in 1977, when in the era of Halter Dress and Farrah Facwett hair, Barbie underwent a dramatic transition in the form of Superstar Barbie. Barbie's were made with the big toothy smile and tons of long blonde hair for the rest of the 1970s, all of the 1980s and a large part of the 1990s. An 18" Supersize Barbie, with the Superstar face, was made in 1978.

Black BarbieThe first Black Barbie was introduced in 1980, she is called "Black Barbie" and was made with the Steffie face mold.

Barbie Doll History as a collectible doll evolved after the popularity of Holiday Barbie, which was introduced in 1988. With her popularity Mattel began to produce Collectible Barbes for adult collectors, including Vintage Barbie Reproductions, for these adult collectors had played with Vintage Barbie Dolls as children and there was a growing interest in Vintage Barbies. 1998 Holiday Barbie

Many of the early collectible Barbie Dolls were created by well known designers. Some of the most popular where designed by Bob Mackie. One of Barbie's first transformations after so many years with the Superstar face was with the "Mackie Face", which was first used for Mackie's 1992 Neptune Fantasy Barbie and then was used more and more for Collectible Barbies. The 1998 Happy Holiday Barbie was the first Holiday Barbie to have the Mackie face.

Silkstone BarbieIn 2000, Mattel introduced the Fashion Model Collection, also known a Silkstones. They use the vintage Barbie face and have been very successful with Barbie collectors. For more detail on each doll from Silkstone Barbie Dolls.

Beginning in 2001, Mattel began to differentiate Barbies into different classifications using Label Colors. The current classifications are:
Pink Label (which had always been called "pink box" for obvious reasons) is used to designate play line or inexpensive dolls that available where ever Barbie Dolls are sold.
Silver Label is used for collectible dolls with no more than 50,000 produced worldwide.
Gold Label designates numbered editions of 25,000 worldwide or less, available at select retailers.
Platinum Label is an exclusive designation used when the dolls are sequentially numbered editions with less than 1,000 available worldwide. They are only available from certain Barbie dealers.
Black Label is a newer designation that indicates it is a doll designer for the adult collector.
