I was a child born in 81 and I ALWAYS wanted a Kenya doll!!! I thought it was the most awesome thing to have a doll that actually looked like you (well almost)! Unfortunately I never did get one but I find them I will!! I now have two young daughters and is increasingly becoming harder to find African American (black) dolls that come in a range of colors and that are actual pretty! Most of the time you ha e to choose from a white blonde, a brunette or Hispanic doll if you want a lighter skinned doll or the Africa. American/ black doll (if available) and they are usually never as “pretty” as the other choices. With 2 daughters with obviously different skin tones, I try to teach them that “everyone” is beautiful….not just the long yellow haired dolls as my 5 year old likes to refer to them. But it is becoming a hard task when you cannot go into a store anywhere and find a doll that resembles you! The Kenya dollar were perfect for that! Celebrating you!!! I loved it and wish they were still around!

When will the new Kenya doll be coming out. I would really like to buy some. Is there somewhere that I can go to get news about this?

I saw a street vendor in Downtown L.A. with unopened boxes of the Oreo Barbie on display last year. I snapped a photo however I didn’t have cash to purchase one. I think he was asking only $10.

Kenya dolls have been discontinued a while ago. My dad is the vice vice president kinda person for the company and they are coming out with a the same doll but more expanded in Jan/Feb.

Black on the outside, white on the inside? I’ve been accused of that. By both black and white.

I had one of these dolls until my house burned. They are getting harder to find.

Yea like number 23 said. I mean come on it was made in both black and white version. So white people could be pissed off because they’re calling them Oreo’s too. Right? So when did it become bad to call anyone an Oreo?

Get over it. It is not like it was called “Nigger Barbie”
