Are bratz better than Barbie dolls?
In comparison, Barbie dolls look and seen mature more than Bratz dolls. Although, Bratz dolls are absolutely fabulous, as much as Barbie, and Barbies have ALWAYS been out ever since. Barbie company never had a breakdown. So, comparing them both are absolutely hard, and their clothes fit them both. I had tried Bratz clothing on Barbie and it fit. Maybe because Bratz's first producers, Mattel, had produced clothing first. Then came MGA E and the employee from Mattel came to MGA E and then were sued. This is a long story. Thank you.

Where can someone purchase a remote controlled Barbie horse?
Many retailers and online stores sell remote control toys. Radio Shack has a great selection of remote control toys. Other places which sell these toys include Wal-Mart, Target, and KMart. Additionally, an individual may purchase remote control toys through Amazon, eBay, and Toys R Us.
What kind of house does barbie live in?
Some of them have been called the Dream House, the Lively Livin' House, the
Townhouse, the Mountain Ski Cabin and the Magical Mansion. There have been numerous different houses called the Dream House or Dream Home.
Yes, but it's not Midge. Basically, Midge was Barbie's best friend, but she is no longer existing in Mattel.inc, because she moved on. So far, Barbie's "buddies" are now Christie and Teresa, but Teresa is mostly her "true" friend. Teresa always had been by Barbie's side, and still is. It would be a macabre thing if Barbie and Teresa split up abruptly.

How do the hair stylists for Mattel do the Barbie doll's hair?
It's called rooting. A machine (or sometimes a human) will take a lock of long hair, knot it at one end, and then use a needle to thread it through a bare doll head, inside to outside. Once the hair is completely covering the head (not including the face), then it can be styled.
In what year was the Barbie doll first sold?
The Barbie Doll was invented in 1959 by Ruth Handler. For more information, see the related link below.
The doll was patented in 1958 and first sold in 1959.
Barbie was born (first launched) on March 9, 1959. Barbie was created by Ruth Handler. Barbie was named after Ruth Handler's daughter Barbara. Ken was named after her son, Ken. Barbie was first released for "sale" in the United States in 1959. Ken was introduced the following year, in 1960.
The Barbie doll was first displayed at a New York International American Toy Fair on March 9, 1959. This is the official date of Barbie's birth, 1959. The first dolls had similar bodies -- without bendable arms or legs. The hair was thick and tight, not long nor silky as in later years. She had painted lips, eyes and lashes. I recall trading my original 1959 Barbie head for a neighbor girl's because I didn't like the hair that couldn't be styled in any way.....guess that's why some things are collectible and valuable!
She was designed in 1958 and first sold in 1959. Barbie, the brain-child of Ruth Handler, was commercially patented in l958 and up and running - fully commercialized, in stores, commercial TV ads, etc., the following year. No pre-1958 Barbies exist, not even any prototypes. Her launch date by Mattel was on 9 March 1959. The Barbie doll was first sold in 1959, so she marked her 50th anniversary this year. However, if you are asking how old of a woman she is supposed to represent, the answer varies depending on what the doll's facial features are and what she is wearing. She can look as young as 16 or as old as 35. Barbie was born, March 9, 1959.
