Mattel started making some Barbies that were not of good quality nor looked good. This company unlike other toy companies sued or threatened anybody that bought their dolls and used them in art or put their own Barbie's images in their own ways either by pics or video. i do not know of any other company that had been so ignorant. Look at the cars smashed in ads or in film. The car companies dont go nuts like Mattel. That is why Mattel may find itself out of business. They wasted too much money on trying to force their will on consumers that wanted to express how they viewed the doll. The fract that those consumers owned the dolls they bought meant nothing to Mattel. This arrogant corporation has no common sense from the very top. Those consumers that bought barbies to use in their art or in personal internet sites expressing their own opinion of the doll were still buying those Mattel products. By Mattel suing or taking actions to deny them the freedom to express themselves, this company started eliminating or alienating consumers that would buy Barbies. The more Mattel threatened and took to court those who saw Barbie different from them was a catalyst in the decline of Barbie sales. Parents and educators became active in discouraging the buying of the product. Mattel began producing dolls that were not as good as the earlier versions. Mattel made such a stink that their sales in the Barbie line began to sink. If the company would have just kept making the quality products without all the fuss, the toy line could have weathered the storm without drawing all the negative attention. Many consumers see Barbie through the actions of Mattel and find it a brand of toy not suitable for their children. The more the parents give that view to their young kids, the less Barbie is desired.

Barbie is a doll. no longer something greater. that's the parent(s)' fault for permitting their toddler to enhance as much as be like Barbie. If Barbie is supposedly that undesirable, perhaps it ability that gown-Up is undesirable because of fact it makes women want to be princesses. And that is terrible to wish to be a princess superb? Nah. Barbie is largely a doll. no longer her fault if a parent shall we their toddler be a s lut. And as of at the instant, Barbie is maximum usual in 'vogue Fever' wherein it quite is Barbie (Blonde/blue eyes), summer season (Redhead), Teresa (lower back hair, mebbe eastern or something) & Nikki (African American/black hair) so this isn't with regard to the hair/pores and skin colour. and you human beings have not touched a Barbie given which you have been 3 i'm guessing because of fact her physique has replaced. Her 'Chest' has shrunken via some million/2 what it was and her waist isn't as skinny. Infact that is greater-or-much less the form of maximum infants' waists on the instant. NEWSFLASH! Barbie become made to replicate actual existence, no longer any incorrect way around. Duh.

Vintage Barbie is still very popular with collectors, but modern Barbie has taken a backseat to those horrid Bratz I'm afraid. Why mother's buy them for their little girls, I'll never know.

I still enjoy my collector Barbies. That's where the real money is for Mattel these days. I think the My Scene Barbies are HIDEOUS!
