It wasn't til 1960 that the orders started pooring into Mattel.

It would take several years for Mattel to get caught up on

the orders for Barbie.

Within ten years the public purchased $500 million products

of Barbie. Over the years barbie has changed to satisfy

the times, from the roaring 50's, the hippy 60's, the retro 70's,

the business woman of the 80's to today generating barbie

electronic games. Barbie has a world wide appeal and

collectors young and old enjoy spending hours creating

and reflecting on memories of their child hood with

The Barbie Doll.
