A little history
The first Barbie, dressed in a striped, like a Zebra costume, went on sale in California in February 1959, it was designed by Jack Ryan in the image of German doll with older features and the name Lilly. His name Barbie has received thanks to Barbara Chandler, seventeen-year-old daughter of company founder "Mattel", which released the doll, and the groom Barbie was named Ken in honor of her brother.
Interestingly, at first, the children took Barbie wary. And men-criticism, on the contrary, took the doll with delight, although he said that Barbie is "too sexy" to freely sell.
It is clear that after such a victory, even for three dollars Barbie to buy not wanted. The Creator of the toys even ordered to put under the knife a huge batch of finished dolls. But fortunately soon the parents appreciated the beauty of the new dolls. Already five years after market introduction toy sold millions of pieces.
Why Barbie has become popular?
Firstly, it was found a good size doll (she is not very big, but not honey, and children are very comfortable to play with it). Secondly, Barbie was conceived as a model of female beauty (she has a beautiful face, hair and body). Thirdly, it can bend the arms and legs, unlike in most other dolls. Fourthly, it is an important difference from the rest of the dolls is the presence of the breast, i.e. sexual characteristics of adult girls. Beautiful dolls were before (for example, porcelain dolls), but usually they were expensive and were not available for most children.
Barbie has become a "mass" doll, which you can play the way I want, not being afraid to spoil it. It is attractive because of the shopping for Barbie you can buy many different and beautiful clothes and change it according to the wish of the child.
In addition "property" Barbie is constantly increasing on a few items (it can be a plane, a photo album or some new costumes). Barbie produced cosmetic products that a girl may be used by itself. The demand for this doll has contributed to the emergence of an entire industry Barbie.
The popularity of the dolls among girls suggests that it probably meets some of their needs. However, not only parents, but also psychologists ambiguous appreciate this doll.
