Christie Doll
Talking Christie Doll was introduced in 1968. She was the first African American Barbie size Doll. Black Francie, introduced in 1967, was the very first in the Barbie family of dolls. Julia doll, using Christie's head/face mold, was introduced in 1969. While Christie did not have any of her "own" clothes, other than the doll's original outfits, she had a Barbie size body and could share Barbie's magnificent wardrobe.

all about vintage Christie dolls.
There were four vintage Christie Barbie Dolls - Talking, Twist 'n Turn, Live Action and Malibu. Live Action & Malibu Christies had long hair, the other ones had short hair. The short hair dolls are frequently found with hair that has turned red over the years. This is a normal variation, but dolls who retain their original dark brown/black hair color are usually considered to be more valuable.
