There isn’t anyone in the world who does not know who Barbie is, or at least to have heard of her, because she is the most popular doll for girls worldwide, and she has been for decades already, which is why we have no reason to believe she will not stick around for plenty more decades, as one after another generation of girls and women grow up playing with the dolls, which are only getting better and better as the years go by.

Still, if you want to have a better experience while playing them, reading more about the character’s history, where she was featured in, and what kinds of games you get to play with her right here is what you should be doing!

A quick history of Barbie

First, you should know that the toy line is manufactured by a powerhouse in the world of toys, and that is Mattel, a company that also handles other famous toy lines and franchises such as Monster High and Ever After High, Thomas and Friends, American Girl, and, for boys, franchises such as Masters of the Universe or Hot Wheels. Maybe you did not know, but Mattel even produces WWE, because they create the dolls based on the wrestlers.

Of course, our princess is the most important propriety they have, which is quite obvious, since it is the most popular one they have sold. Also, she has been around since 1959, more than sixty years ago, and we are sure that she will stick around for at least sixty more. Ruth Handler is the businesswoman who has been credited with the creation of the doll, and she has certainly created the most iconic fashion doll out there.

The idea of the doll came up to Ruth after seeing her daughter play with dolls and having them act out in the role of adults. At the time, most dolls were created in the form of infants and little kids, so that they better identify with the children playing with them. Ruth saw a doll in Germany that was exactly what she imagined and brought it back to the USA, where she redesigned it and gave it the new name.
 

Who is Barbie?

Of course, her full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts. Bet you did not know that, right? She was born in Wisconsin, both the Willows High School, as well as the Manhattan International High School. She is a woman who is ready to face anything that the world throws at her, with her being brave, fierce, dedicated, and hard-working. She is also a fashionista, and she does everything in style. She loves it when she can wear a new outfit to impress the people around her, which is something you can help her out with by playing our amazing dress-up games!

This personage is also a doll with a purpose, which is why she is depicted having any kind of job, even those that are more usually attached to men, such as when she was an astronaut when she was a race car driver or a doctor. You might not know this, but she has also been both a pilot and a flight attendant, and she has had all sorts of vehicles during the years, from convertibles to jeeps, and she also loves animals, which is why she has had no less than forty pets!

Of course, you also need to know about Ken, who is her on and off boyfriend, who is also a toy. They have a strong relationship, but they went their separate ways for two years, after which Ken had a makeover, and years later they became an official couple again. Ken is Barbie’s male counterpart, so of course, he would also be a fashionable man who is always in style. The two of them met on the set of a TV commercial they filmed together. Over the years, Ken has had no less than 40 occupations, so he was quite busy!

As we think we’ve already mentioned, she is more than just a toy, as she has a whole media franchise around her, with multiple films having been created, as well as television series, about which we would like to tell you a few things right now.
