This is a question for fellow Barbie doll collectors…
I seem to have a gap in dark skin tones… yes/no?
missing shade(s) of black?
Are there any dolls that have a skin tone that is in between light brown and dark brown? Most of my other AA dolls are the same colour as Uhura (second doll of the left) and a few ever so slightly a teensy bit darker… but nothing quite medium-ish…

ADD – I *think* the shade I’m looking for is used for the doll head on the stick labelled 17442 Asha (left of image), or maybe even the shade used for 4092 Christie – apparently Barbie uses seven different skin tones… I’ve counted a lot more than that, must be the variations in different batches of dolly plastic…
doll skin shade scale
haha… I’ve even created a quick scale to compare the skin shades (seven variations as according to “official info”)… hmmm (am I weird?)
Aside – even my partner reckons his skin shade is in between (I’ve checked, it’s true lol)
