Barbie is on the up!
According to their latest released figures Mattel are reporting that sales figures for Barbie were on the rise after more than 2 years in decline with sales up by 5% worldwide. Pretty good going for an old broad who celebrated her 51st birthday this March.
Although I do have a sneaky suspicion that the fact that Bratz have been obliterated from toy store shelves due to the lengthy and expensive court case between Mattel and MGA may have a wee bit to do with it!
