Engineering Pathway's blog for February 13 on the first Barbie doll. The blog also connects to the more recent event of the first engineering Barbie on February 12, 2010. Excerpt: "Today in History - February 13, 1959 - First Barbie doll goes on sale. Barbie's inventor, Ruth Handler, was motivated by seeing that her daughter, Barbie, and her girl friends enjoyed playing with adult female dolls, but most dolls at the time were baby dolls. Handler created 3D models of dolls that she thought would inspire her daughter's dreams and took them to the ad executives at Mattel, Inc. Although Mattel was founded by Ruth Handler and her husband, Elliot, some years earlier in their garage, the "all male" committee supposedly rejected the idea as too expensive and without enough appeal in the market. Determined not to give up on the idea, Ruth Handler continued to further develop her product and went to Europe to gain fashion ideas and market her concept. Mattel soon appreciated the potential impact of this concept and changed their mind and debuted Barbee at the American Toy Fair in New York City in 1959. This new doll concept immediately set new sales records for Mattel (351,000 dolls is reported for the first year; sold at $3 each)."  

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.
