There's no such thing as Mr. Barbie. This could be a Brad doll, the black male friend in the Barbie line. What does the copyright information on his back say?
No clue of the value.
I just called Mr. Barbie. I have no idea what his name.
He has no real value . Is a newer doll and they are just not collected at this time as they were mass produced as all newer barbies unlike Old ones that were less likely to make it from 1959 to today as they were just toys and many thrown away . The quality of old ones from 60's is much more superior and they are still collected . From 50' through 70's .
Thanks for your comments Manikin.
This could be either Steven which is a friend to Barbie's friend Christie. He may also be part of the High School Musical dolls which is also produced by Mattel.
Glad to see he is getting a workout!
