Collecting Barbie dolls can be a lot of fun. Barbie doll has developed from a teenage fashion dolls into a trend-setter, fashion adventurer and become the most collectible doll in the world. For maintain their success and base on input from Barbie Collector Advisory Panel, dolls dealers and collector interaction on convention Barbie Collectibles has formally announced the new changes for collectible Barbie dolls. New packaging is on the way as well as as the limited philosophy for the Barbie dolls. And also Mattel has changed the description for Barbie collecting line from “Collectible” to “Collector” Barbie dolls. Another major change will be on the Barbie dolls from “Collector Edition” or “Limited Edition” become four tiered structure which will organize the collecting of the Barbie doll during the release process.

The Barbie Collectibles staff explain “our new label colors are our way of segmenting our collectible dolls and communicating to you where they might be found”

1. The Pink Label

The Pink Label dolls will not be limited in production numbers. And this can be make the Barbie considered not a special Barbie dolls because can be purchaced at Walmart or Target and does not make the ‘hunt’ for this Barbie dolls as difficult. These suitable for the beginner collector and gives them a chance to start Barbie dolls collecting. The Pink Label will includes Barbie dolls The Princess Collection, 2008 holiday Barbie dolls

2. The Silver Label
The Silver Label Barbie doll is limited to no more than 50,000 pieces created worldwide, and packaged in a silver-trimmed "reveal" package, known as a "new version of the "cake box package," which features a closed box with a beautiful doll photo or other artwork on the cover, ideal for NRFB collectors.
