Barbie® Extra dolls rock bold fashions and bright colors, and they make big statements! Each Barbie® doll has their own unique style that's playful and over the top. And their pets -- each different and all adorable -- have tons of personality, too!

Fast forward to the present day and Barbie's pet squad has grown and diversified, including everything from dogs and cats to horses and lions, and even a panda!

Barbie has had over 40 pets including cats and dogs, horses, a panda, a lion cub, and a zebra. She has owned a wide range of vehicles, including pink Beetle and Corvette convertibles, trailers, and Jeeps.

The "Totally Hair Barbie" from 1992 featured the longest tresses ever and still stands as the best-selling Barbie doll to date - but even if you weren't born that year, maybe you were lucky enough to have a birth year that honored one of Barbie's other major milestones or most legendary looks.

"And, as 'extra' has become a part of girls' vernacular, our team was inspired to create a new line of playful and over-the-top dolls that encourage maximum self-expression." Barbie's embrace of diversity and being more inclusive of people of all shapes, sizes, colors, and abilities has been an ongoing campaign.

Barbie Extra (stylized as Barbie® EXTRA) is a doll line that began in 2020.

Over the years, Barbie dolls have developed to comprise a complex – but more stable – chemical cocktail comprising ethylene vinyl acetate arms, acyrylonitrile butadiene styrene torsos, heads of a hard vinyl compound, and outer legs in PVC, although using a different formula from the earlier dolls.

The first Barbie doll debuted at the New York toy fair in March 1959. And thanks to a revolutionary TV ad, Barbie became a household name. Handler sold 300,000 dolls in that first year, and the success only continued from there.

It's not just the organic nostalgia and universality around “Barbie” that contributed to its rocketing success - it was a savvy marketing campaign. From the get-go, it was clear it would be the summer of pink as several brands collaborated with “Barbie” and ads flooded social media.
