The #3269
Forget-me-nots Barbie that is still found in her original packaging is a rarely
seen on the secondary market. She is the
exact same doll as the #1067 Sunset Malibu Barbie from 1971, the only
difference being their packaging.
Her mark was also identical to the 1971 Malibu: ©1966 Mattel, Inc./U.S. Pat. Pended/U.S. Pat. Pend./Made In/Japan.

The ForGet-Me-Nots
Malibu Barbie was released in 1972 (even though the packaging says 1971), as a
promotional doll that was available from the Kellogg Company. She came in “baggie” style packaging with the
wording ‘forget-me-nots Malibu Barbie’ printed on the cardboard.
The Malibu Barbie, with
her golden tan, bendable legs, and twist ‘n turn waist arrived wearing a blue
one piece swim suit. Also included were her
lavender sunglasses, placed atop her head, a yellow terry cloth beach towel,
and a pink and silver foil wrist tag.
She originally sold for $3.49.
