He is dressed in red swimming trunks with a white strip on each side of the thigh. He comes packaged in a white box with pictures of barbie and ken fashions printed on it. Also printed on the box is "Ken Barbie's Boyfriend."

Barbie Doll 5th Edition
//
Barbie Doll 5th Edition exploded onto the toy market in 1961, still manufactured as # 850, or Barbie 5 to collectors. There were two dolls released, the beautiful Ponytail Barbie and the new stunning Bubblecut (hairstyle) Barbie. The two dolls are identical in looks, have the same black and white bathing suit, white rimmed sunglasses, black shoes and pearl stud earrings.
The Bubblecut hair style looks a little like the bee-hive hairstyle that many women sported many years

Barbie Doll 4th Edition
//
Barbie Doll 4th Edition still comes under the code of #850, but to her devoted fans she is Barbie number 4. This doll was still manufactured with her black and white bathing suit, ponytail with curly fringe. Her new revised make-up was also retained.
The most notable change with this doll was the plastic/vinyl that was used. The first 3 editions manufactured in 1959-1960 sometimes had problems with the skin tone changing a little in color over the last couple of years. Some

Barbie Doll 3rd Edition
//
Barbie Doll 3rd Edition was released early in 1960, still with the manufacture code of # 850, but known to collectors as Barbie number 3. This version of Barbie was manufactured with a softer, toned down look...... Many described the first 2 versions of the doll (in 1959) as being a bit too sophisticated for young girls.
The new #850 Barbie was revised with her facial make-up made softer, her eyebrows were now rounded instead of the sharp V-shape and her eye irises were now blue.
