They have had many ups and downs over the decades but they were in the gutter for years until 2023 when the movie came out and sales skyrocketed again.
Just two years later, sales are drastically down again and Barbie just sits on shelves.
Mattel is struggling to sell Barbie dolls… again

No little girl needs more than two Barbies. Besides, they can play with big boy's meat puppets instead.

That's what happens when you raise prices and cheapen quality to the degree Mattel has in the past few years.

That's because Barbie is ugly now.

Rumor has it that a Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman Barbie is going to be released soon.

I’m sure the new diabetic one will be a big seller.

Barbie dolls are just junk now. I've watched a lot of doll collector videos on YouTube and the dolls' quality has deteriorated so much that it's no wonder nobody wants to buy them. Many of them just have painted on clothes now and the dolls are made of cheaper material than they used to be. Their outfits are papery and cheesy looking. Even the collector versions are junk. It's kind of sad.

R7 I was wondering would someone mention the diabetic Barbie. My niece is type 1 and she got it as a present and I don’t know if she’s ever been more attached to a toy. She really loves it. Brought it to school and showed all her friends etc.
It’s all very well to scoff in a kind of anti woke way about “representation” or whatever have you, but kids don’t think about things like that.

Marker pens gave Barbie nipples and pubic hair back in the 1960s. And heads were exchangeable.

Once they finally release the Melania doll, with her squinty eyes and spread-eagle legs, Mattell will be back on top, once again. (Ping pong balls sold separately).

Because The Bratz are what the girls are into. And now Labubu is all the rage. Barbie is over.
