The fabulous collection of Barbie Collector
Stanley Colorite was recently featured in the
Daily Mail in the UK. Close-up photos of a few of his dolls were published, including Pink Splendor Barbie and Billions of Dreams Barbie. I noticed the doll dressed in the Bob Mackie Goddess of Africa Barbie attire. I'm not the face mold expert but that's not the Goddess of Africa doll because the face mold looks more like the Asha face mold that has been used on several Barbies.

The Goddess of Africa face mold was also used on the Barbie Basics Model No. 04.

Here is a great article with more information than you probably want to know about
face molds used in Barbie dolls. It's a bit dated but still very informative.

I noticed it also and thought to myself, he must have redressed her. It'sthat or someone got over on him. I hope it wasn't the latter.
