Let's list still in production or there's so many out there it's easy to get one dolls of color, that is human skin tones darker than "caucasian". No limited run Volks or Obistu tan things please.
Mattel has Barbie and the SiS AA line which generally come in light, medium, and, dark which match other Mattel dolls like some Monsters and Princesses. The only SiS boy looks to be medium complexion.
*Monster High Clawdeen Wolf is close to light, for example the Fashionista 100 poses AA. Clawd wolf, at lest the first one in the double pack, is between light and medium but closer to medium.
Hot Toys True Type comes in several skin tones including Asian and Hispanic with realistic face sculpts.

Does that mean Clawd would match a med.AA body? Who has that color? I know he doesn't match the Theresa dolls I have.
I think GI Joe 12" dolls had some in darker shades.

My derp, fixing the original post. The Theresas I have is the same tone as the caucasian 100 poses Fashionistas but more orange. She's not what I refer to as AA light.

There are actually 2 different Liv Alexis skintones. There is a darker one they used for Queen of Hearts Alexis.

you can get G.I.Joes in a wide variety of skintones, though it takes some hunting. i had luck at a thriftstore once in finding an african-american head, but the body was painted/molded like bio-armor.

Even two of the same model can have a drastic difference in the color... I was looking at the beach ones at Toys-R-Us one time and there were three of Alexis, and one was much darker than the others.
