Francie 1967- The first Black doll to make her appearance with Barbie was Black Francie. Francie was made from the same mold as White Francie, Barbie's cousin, and lacked any African American characteristics other than skin color. Poor Franice. The Franice design was not made to appeal to African Americans, BUT it was worth mentioning and it was the very first step Mattel made in reflecting African American culture in their dolls. And don't worry, it gets better!
First Black Barbie 1980- The first Black Barbie was introduced... finally. She came with a red business suit and to many, resembled Felicia Rashad, TV's then super mom, Claire Huxtable. Since then, Black Barbie has stood beside her original in varying skin tones, facial features and hair styles to resemble and reflect African Americans.
Black Label is a newer designation that indicates it is a doll designer for the adult collector.
Beginning in 2001, Mattel began to differencetiate Barbies into different classifications using Label Colors. The current classifications are:

Gold Label designates numbered editions of 25,000 worldwide or less, available at select retailers.
