FAQs

Is this doll suitable for children to play with?

No, this Barbie doll is part of the Black Label Collection and is intended for adult collectors (recommended age 6+, but specifically for adult collectors) due to its collectible nature and potential small parts. It is not designed for active play.

What does 'Black Label Collection' mean?

The Black Label Collection includes some of Barbie Signature's most sensational dolls designed for the adult collector. These dolls often celebrate specific themes, anniversaries, or cultural moments and may feature more intricate designs and details.

Does the doll come with a stand?

Yes, the Mattel 80th Anniversary Barbie doll includes a doll stand to help display it.

Can the doll stand on its own?

No, the doll cannot stand alone and requires the use of the included doll stand for support.

What is the significance of the red color?

The doll is dressed in ruby red, which is the corporate color of Mattel, honoring the company's 80th anniversary.

What materials is the doll and her dress made from?

The doll is made from plastic, and her attire is made from fabric, primarily tulle.

What are the dimensions of the doll?

The doll measures approximately 330.2 mm (13 inches) in height and 203.2 mm (8 inches) in width.

Is this a limited edition doll?

Black Label dolls, including this one, do not have a set edition size, meaning they are produced for the collector market without a specific, limited number being made.

Troubleshooting

Doll is unstable on the stand

Ensure the doll is correctly positioned on the stand's base and clips. Adjust the doll's feet and waistholder for a secure fit. Check that the stand itself is on a flat, level surface.

Gown or accessories appear creased

Gently try to smooth out creases by hand. For stubborn creases on fabric, a low-heat iron with a protective cloth layer might be considered, but test on an inconspicuous area first. Handle with extreme care to avoid damage.

Color transfer from attire to doll's body

This can occur with certain fabrics over time. Ensure the doll is not stored in tight contact with dark or brightly colored garments for extended periods. If transfer has occurred, consult specialized doll restoration forums for advice, as cleaning can be risky.
