So strong has been the appeal of this creation that it has acquired the status of an icon, like for instance comic book heroes, the Superman and the Spiderman.
This doll over the years, since it first came into the market has been the favourite of girls, that have had the pleasure to make friends with it.
This doll, in fact has been responsible for inspiring many characters in literature, on the silver screen and in the theatre. And it has been and to this day continues to be a role model.
It is not a toy only but a whole life style, for instance, we have the Barbie hairdos, Barbie range of cosmetics and skin care products, etc. So it has also been instrumental in creating brand names and with it brand loyalties. As, it portrays not only a life style but a healthy one, hence its appeal is growing stronger by the day, as for example, you can find hundred of web sites dedicated to her.
How come such a powerful figure that has shaped many a lives and business, and has the status of a Hollywood star be without a special car, dedicated only to her.
So, the artist spent sleepless nights and the auto mobile engineers sweated over their drawing boards to come up with a car, as intriguing and alluring as Barbie herself.
