Everyone who was raised sometime in the last five decades has at least heard of Barbie. The famous toy was first produced in 1959, and has grown to be the worlds highest selling doll brand. She was originally created by Ruth Handler who got the idea from a German doll called "Bild Lilli".
Barbie, owned by Mattel, has become more than just dolls, and now constantly released films, costumes, toy cars, and dolls other than the classic Barbie, such as her boyfriend Ken. Barbie has also been features movies like the Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3.
Barbie's appearance has been the center of quite a lot of bickering among grown-ups who believe her very thin body is a driving force behind a rising trend of kids developing bulimia. Her trendsetting clothes have also been criticized. A lot of specialists think that that children want to have similar clothing and many of the kids who just can't afford to pay for the high priced outfits like they're missing out on something.
Whatever you think of her she will be a prominent cultural figure and will certainly be selling dolls and Halloween Costumes well into the future!
