Competitors

Many companies have tried to create dolls to compete with Barbie. The Tamy doll was created to provide a more teenage look. Ideal Toy created the Crissy doll with hair that grows with the push of a button. Kenner created the Blythe doll that has changing eye color. Hasbro created Jem, a rock and roll doll. Happy To Be Me created a doll with a thicker waist, wider hips, and larger feets. Get Real Girls created a sports version of Barbie for athletic girls. The best selling doll made by a competitor was Bratz, which was made by MGA Entertainment. Barbie still remains the best selling doll.
