Barbie Collection Face Asha - Barbie Second Life

Asha

In the early 90s, Mattel released a sideline of three African American girls: Shani, Nichelle and Asha and their boyfriend Jamal. They all have their own new faces. But the Shani series (Maoni in Europe) was not particularly successful, so it was reinstated after a few dolls. There were only 4 (?) Asha Dolls until 1994. After 1994 the head mold was used occasionally for some Collector dolls and in the late 90s it became the face of Christies. It was even used for Nichelle (Generation Girl) and Nikki (Fashion Fever). In 2016, Mattel dared to experiment and used the aa ethnic face for the first time for a Caucasian doll - Fashionistas #16. This oval face mold was also used on Barbie Christmas (2018-2020), Barbie University, Barbie Made to Move, Barbie Cali Girl.
