Barbie Collection Face Mbili - Barbie Second Life

Mbili

Grace is Barbie's African-American friend who was the main character in the S.I.S (So in Style) series. According to the SIS storybook, Grace moved from Malibu to Chicago and had friends of her own. So far the explanation of this separate African American doll line. Until 2014, Mattel used the Mbili Face for Grace. But 2015 Grace moved to Mailbu and became an "existing" part of the Barbie world, mainly as Fashionistas. His friends stayed in Chicago (the SIS was discontinued). During these changes, Grace appeared with an altered version of the Mbili face. Since the face was patented in 2011, it looks like Mattel planned the head change long-handedly. Some collectors call the face mold Grace, Mattel's official name seems to be "Mbili Playline". This round face mold was also used on Barbie 60th Anniversary, Barbie Fashionistas, Barbie Basics, Barbie Star Wars, Barbie City Shopper.
