“Barbie© Film Noir” is the souvenir doll for the 2006 National Barbie Convention held in Los Angeles, designed by Mario Paglino and Gianni Grossi, as Magia 2000.

Barbie Film Noir is the first ever souvenir doll produced completely by Mattel USA for a convention and designed by a Not-American designer. Magia 2000 was the first foreign artist duo who had the chance and honor to design a Barbie doll for such event.
In this page you can find more pic of the backstage, the ideas behind this incredible doll which became immeditaley a success, and is still one of the more valuable Barbie doll from a convention.

There are 3 different version fo the doll, one is in pink dress with black lining and has a Caucasian version and a Afro-American version, which were the common souvenir doll for conventioneers; the third version is in reversed colour, black dress and pink lining, which was more limited and with blonde hair, just in Caucasian, and with an additional real genuine rhinestone jewel necklace.

This doll was produced by Mattel Inc. in Platinum Edition and was not on sale, but available only for conventioneers.
