1) Barbie
Are you surprised with the number one best-selling toy in the world? Personally I kind of see it coming.
Ruth Handler introduced her idea to Mattel back in 1959. Ruth came up with the idea when her child Barbara played with paper dolls, and was inspired to create something more durable.
The result of the collaboration between Ruth Handler and Mattel was Barbie, the teenage fashion doll.
The toy was a smash hit selling over 350,000 units in its first year, and Barbie has basically conquered the world ever since.
The doll managed to get inside the hearts of generations of children that find her style irresistible.
Which is why, the Barbie is the best-selling toy of all time.
How many of these toys you actually owned?
