Collector items



The appeal of Barbie has gone beyond just young girls.

Her dolls are now collectors items, a 1959 model was sold for $27,450 at an auction in 2006.

To celebrate her birthday, a Barbie convention with collectors of all ages expected to attend, is being held in Washington DC this summer.

Fifty years on, and the Barbie of today is competing in a crowded toy and video games market. At the end of last year sales fell by more than one-fifth.

Even so, Barbie remains an enduring icon, who, at 50, has kept her youthful physique - even if plastic has had a part to play.
