When Barbie burst onto the scene at the American International Toy Fair in New York on March 9, 1959, one could have only begun to imagine the cultural phenomena that she would become for better, and for worse (hello unrealistic body expectations and proportions). They say that everyone has a Barbie story, and one can only wonder if an old toy in your basement is worth hundreds, if not thousands of dollars today. If you’re like us, your childhood obsession was never fully extinguished and has only been reignited by the recent “Barbiecore” trends and BTS pics of the Barbie film to come. With all this Barbie talk, we thought it would be important to highlight our favorite Barbies to date.
