I have contacted Mattel and numerous doll collectors but I still haven't found an answer! I'm really stuck for my school project and unfortunately, I did have to choose a brand name like Barbie although there may be some trade secrets.

In the Mattel labs they have genetically engineered a species of extremely small people who they then coat in melted hot plastic.
They then package them as Kens and Barbies and send them out to be bought in a store near you.
It's no surprise that Mattel don't advertise the process.

A man goes into a toy shop to purchase a Barbie.
There a 3 types on the shelves.
Holiday Barbie @ 19.95
Sporty Barbie @ 19.95
& Divorce Barbie @ 250.00
The man asks the shop assistant why the divorce Barbie is so expensive?
The shop assistant replies "Well she comes with Kens House, Kens Car, and Kens best friend!"

Well you can always try again? hum or.. did u try calling fisherprice as they are their pricipal dealer? You should gogive them a try or look on the box barbies are made of plastic so it's probably melted and then shaped in for with some metal (soft) inside to amke it move a little bit (i opened one once before) It;s just plastic and rubber melted in a mould then shaped in form and painted then it's varnished and added the hair through the wholes ( they do a knot and then push it in) It's quite basic stuff.. Probably done by machinary now..

I easily do not understand... I used to make my barbies kiss even as i became little. It became because i did not have a Ken doll or something. yet when I were given a ken doll I nevertheless used to make barbie and barbie kiss. It became because both their heads moved so as that it became a lot less complicated for them to kiss than a baribie and ken. Ken's neck by no potential blood.y moved. i imagine that is why I did it. yet I by no potential idea about me ever being a lesbian/(dont ignore bi) because of it. hmmmmm exciting...

I assume that they just pour liquid plastic stuff into a barbie shaped mould then leave it to set. Then they paint on the face and add the hair and clothing.

designed in USA & made in China.
Injection moulding is the process. Liquid HDPE is injected into molds. There is no secret just the designs are patented.
