  • Fifty Years After She First Hit Toy Shops, 'Sindy' Doll Seeks
    Strictly embargoed until 00.01hrs on Monday 2 July 2012 FIFTY YEARS AFTER SHE FIRST HIT TOY SHOPS, ‘SINDY’ DOLL SEEKS A LONG TERM PARTNER Global brand owners expected to show interest in iconic British doll Exeter, 2 July 2012 – After nearly 50 years, the British owner of the Sindy doll brand is looking for a long-term partner to help develop the core range of dolls. For generations of young girls Sindy has been a friend, confidante and cherished toy. The Sindy doll was launched in 1963, and for decades dominated the fashion doll market in Britain. Sindy has repeatedly been the best-selling toy, both in the UK and in overseas markets. Now, Sindy’s Exeter-based owner, Pedigree Toys, is to license or share equity in the iconic brand as part of a strategic shift towards its publishing and third party licensing businesses. Jerry Reynolds, CEO of Pedigree Group Ltd, commented: “Few brands have the emotive power and name recognition of Sindy. Millions of women in Britain grew up playing with her, and have fond memories of their days as ‘Sindy girls’. 1 “Over the years Sindy’s outfits have reflected changing fashions, and her hemlines rose and fell accordingly. But she has never lost her image as the demure girl next door – an enduring image that continues to appeal to young girls around the world. “The core of the Sindy brand remains the development and marketing of fashion dolls. As a business, Pedigree has moved away from toy manufacturing to focus on publishing and third party licensing.

Wohlwend In Generation Z: Zombies, Popular Culture, and Educating Youth Edited by Victoria Carrington, Jennifer Rowsell, Esther Priyadharshini, Rebecca Westrup This is a preprint; the definitive version is in press at http://www.springer.com/us/ Wohlwend, K. E. (In press). Ghouls, dolls, and girlhoods: Fashion and horror at Monster High. In V. Carrington, J. Rowsell, E. Priyadharshini & R. Westrup (Eds.), Generation Z: Zombies, popular culture, and educating youth. New York: Springer. Girls, Ghouls, and Girlhoods: Horror and Fashion at Monster High Introduction How does a zombie doll in a popular horror franchise for tween girls serve as a productive site of contestation among overlapping visions of girlhood? In this chapter, I examine Ghoulia Yelps, a zombie character in the popular Monster High fashion doll franchise, not only as a toy in a global flow of licensed consumer goods but also as a site of identity construction and digital media production where facile notions of girlhoods are both enacted and reimagined (Forman- Brunell, 2012). Monster High is reconceptualized here as the site of converging cultural imaginaries (Medina & Wohlwend, 2014) in which children play in and out of gendered futures around fashion, adolescence, diversity, and schooling. Critical analysis of tween girls’ digital play with a zombie doll on social media reveals the resonances, slippages, and paradoxes among identity texts produced about, for, and by girls. After describing the scope of the Monster High franchise and how it materializes expectations for characters, consumers, and players, I next examine how these dolls and identity texts circulate three dominant imaginaries of girlhood.

    Crissy and More Crissy Copyright, May 2005 By Beth-Ellen Colvin (formerly Gunther) All rights reserved, please write for reprint permission Intellectual property laws apply I am often asked for MORE, MORE, MORE information about Crissy and her family & friends. The fact is, I could write a second volume about her, but my publisher tells me the time is not right for one. Time will tell, right!? Until then, this is what you get. This document will be updated on occasion with new information. Contents More history, more information Page 1 What ARE those catalog outfits?? Page 4 What about after-market clothing? Page 5 Ideal issued clothing Page 5 Accessories, cases, paper products Page 6 eBay rules of the road Page 7 Production information Page 10 Other dolls with Crissy’s body Page 12 Will Crissy ever be reissued??? Page 13 Tips! Page 14 Customizations Page 16 So-called rarities NOT! Page 17 1 More history, more information I am imagining here, that you’ve already read my book. Then, as a well-read collector (grin) you already know that every single detail and fact cannot be included in one volume. In fact, my very own publisher left a lot of my pages out of my book in order to keep the costs down (heavy sigh). Let’s get down to business then. Crissy was made from 1969 to 1974 for the first of the original dolls. This does not include the Magic Hair Crissy of 1977. She is a totally different doll. There were two issues released in 1969, hair to her feet and hair to her bottom.

  • The Barbie Case
    The Barbie® Case Introduction When on October 11, 2005, Neil B. Friedman was promoted from his position as head of the successful Fisher-Price® division to become the President of the combined operations of the merged Mattel® and Fisher-Price® units, he might have considered this promotion to be a daunting task to take on. At the start of this job as the President of the Mattel® Brands Division, the sales of Barbie®, Mattel®'s signature doll and profit engine, which account for an estimated 251 to 35%2 of Mattel®'s sales had fallen for seven straight quarters on a year-to-year basis.3 Barbie®'s global third-quarter sales in 2005 were down 18% from the previous year, and U.S. sales decreased 30%. This decrease in sales affected Mattel®'s overall performance as shares tumbled to their lowest point in four years. 4 The toy industry overall was struggling, with sales down 5.3% through the first nine months. U.S. retail sales of dolls fell 6% in that period, according to market researcher NPD Group. Analysts believe the slide will continue as more kids choose video games and digital-music players over action figures and board games.5 In addition, Friedman was confronted with an anti-Barbie climate with campaigns challenging Barbie®’s beauty ideal launched by The Body Shop and more recent ones by Dove® and Nike® as well as a tradition of Mattel losing legal battles time and again against artists who parodied Barbie®. 1 The Barbie® Case 1.

  • Bratz Dolls: Responding to Cultural Change Jessica Burns Fugate the University of Tampa
    Journal of Business Cases and Applications Volume 12 – October, 2014 Bratz dolls: Responding to cultural change Jessica Burns Fugate The University of Tampa Ronald Kuntze The University of Tampa Erika Matulich The University of Tampa Janette Carter The University of Tampa Kristen Kluberdanz The Univesity of Tampa ABSTRACT Barbie was introduced by Mattel in 1959 and quickly dominated the market and continued to do so for decades. As a beautiful blonde, Barbie represented the traditional qualities of women and the line later expanded to include diversity among the other dolls. In 1999, Barbie’s 40th anniversary year, sales hit approximately $1.5 billion and nearly $24 billion in total sales over the life of the doll. In 2001, MGA introduced the Bratz line and the dolls immediately became popular, gaining market share as Barbie sales declined. Within the first six months on the market, MGA sold more than $20 million in Bratz dolls. In response, Mattel introduced the MyScene dolls to the market in 2002 but were unable to compete with Bratz. In 2004, MGA experienced a 45 percent growth in Bratz doll sales, while Barbie sales had fallen, resulting in a $500 million loss. In 2006, Bratz became the number one selling doll and Barbie was bumped to number two. Bratz dolls were created to more closely match the look of girls today, instead of the ideological perception of women in the 1950s when Barbie was created. Bratz dolls have a realistic height, look more ethnic, and have distinct fashion styles. Every Bratz doll is different with its own personality, much like tween girls today.

  • Barbie™ Dan Hunter F
    Barbie™ Dan Hunter F. Gregory Lastowka* Intellectual property laws are the means by which corporations allow access to their products. Mattel Inc.’s Barbie doll is highly dependent on the intellectual property system, and this Article provides the first serious account of the development of Barbie as an object of intellectual property. It demonstrates the significance of Barbie as an intellectual property object, and it traces how intellectual property laws emerged as such a powerful technology of control in the period from Barbie’s birth in 1959 to the present. The Article also shows that the great unrecognized feature of the intellectual property system is its ability to manipulate desire. I.

FLESH AND CONTROL ....................................................................... 142 IV. SEX AND POWER ............................................................................... 152 V. THE VENUS OF HAWTHORNE ........................................................... 159 I. INTRODUCTION Most discussions of intellectual property law miss the point. Authors tend to pick apart some small aspect of a law, explaining why their proposed reform will provide better policy outcomes, or they examine a court decision and explain why the judges there have gotten it wrong. Although many of these articles are useful contributions, they miss the larger story of how the intellectual property system works in practice, and particularly how the system has changed over the years, and how it has come to be so important in our modern day society. These accounts also fail to explain how companies have responded to the intellectual property system, and how they have engineered changes in the system over time. Although there are notable counter-examples, in general we have few accounts of the larger story of the development of © 2015 Dan Hunter and F.
