It started out as a simple hobby when, lo and behold, I realized I have just accumulated 20,000 distinct toy characters in my collection... and the number is still growing. This blog is a great space to share to others just how amazing some of these characters are especially the ones that may have been forgotten or perhaps even those deemed insignificant. Visit Percy's World of Toys as often as you can and witness how the list progresses right before your eyes. Enjoy.

2537. Barbie
Barbie is a best-selling fashion Doll launched in 1959. The doll is produced by Mattel, Inc., and is a major source of revenue for the company. The American businesswoman Ruth Handler (1916-2002) is regarded as the creator of Barbie, and the doll's design was inspired by a German doll called Bild Lilli.
Barbie has been an important part of the toy fashion doll market for over fifty years, and has been the subject of numerous controversies and Lawsuits, often involving Parody of the doll and her lifestyle. In recent years, Barbie has faced increasing competition from the Bratz range of dolls. There is an Arab version of the doll, Razanne, selling in Arab countries.
