  • Introduction to Video Content
  • Barbie, the world's most famous doll, is experiencing a resurgence in popularity ahead of the release of the Margot Robbie movie. With her iconic catchphrase, 'Life in plastic, it's fantastic,' Barbie has captured the hearts of millions over the years. Despite being created in 1959, Barbie continues to be a beloved toy and has even become a favorite among Australians.
    One such Australian Barbie enthusiast is Megan, who owns almost 2,000 Barbie dolls, making her the country's biggest collector. Megan's collection is so extensive that she keeps a third of it on display, while the rest is stored away in her attic. She has been collecting Barbies for nearly 30 years and has spent thousands of dollars on her collection.
    For Megan, Barbie holds a special place in her heart. As a child, she dreamed of owning a Barbie but couldn't afford one due to budget constraints. Now, she is living out her childhood dreams by surrounding herself with the dolls she loves.
    Another Barbie enthusiast, Sky, embraces the Barbie lifestyle to the fullest. She dresses head-to-toe in Barbie-inspired outfits, even when she goes to the shops. Sky's commitment to the Barbie aesthetic is a testament to the lasting impact and influence of the doll.
    Barbie's popularity shows no signs of waning, especially with the upcoming release of the new Barbie movie. Created by Ruth Handler in 1959, Barbie has remained a cultural icon for over 60 years. With her glamorous lifestyle and endless possibilities, Barbie continues to inspire generations of children and collectors alike.
