If it was made by Mattel and has the Mattel logo it would be either Barbie or one of her friends. The dolls have been manufactured in Indonesia in the past few years. If a fashion doll was made by another company, it would have that company's name/logo on it and it is NOT a Barbie doll.
Mattel sold the Butterfly Art Barbie doll in 2000.
Answer: The year Medusa Barbie was made in is 2008.
It says on the box or the Barbie's back.
when did the people make the barbie and a fashion fairytale barbie doll
It was made for Ruth handler's daughter.
The Barbie doll's designers are at Mattel, which is located in Los Angeles. The dolls themselves were first made in Japan, and in other countries since then.
Ruth Handler and Mattel introduced the Barbie doll at Toy Fair in New York on March 9, 1959. Mattel may have receipts from 1959 listing which store buyers bought the doll, but if there are records, they've never been made public.
The doll closest to a "plus-size" in Barbie's world is the 1999 Rosie O'Donnell doll. She was made with a unique body mold very different from Barbie and her friends.
1973
No shes a human being...although she did have a doll made to look like her..
The Number 1 Barbie doll, which had a tube running through her straight legs so that her feet could be placed over a stand, was sold in early 1959. The Number 2 Barbie doll, which had the tube removed, followed in late 1959.
