The short history

Barbie debuted in 1959 and grew from a fashion doll into a broad world of careers, vehicles, homes, playsets and collectibles. Because the range changes constantly, people often remember a very specific doll rather than Barbie in general.

What survived

Barbie remains a fashion doll built around imaginative roles, outfits, accessories and an expanding world of play.

What changed

Body types, representation, careers and collector lines have expanded dramatically; remembered individual editions may be discontinued or reissued.

Current versions

Current Barbie products span everyday play dolls, inclusive body types, careers, Dreamhouses, vehicles, annual holiday dolls and premium Signature collectibles. A childhood edition may be discontinued, reimagined or occasionally reproduced.
