Mattel Toy Company has perpetuated a 50 yr. act of Hypocrisy about how the Barbie Doll came to being the top to selling toy in history. I personally with my two hands Created the Barbie Doll for Mattel in 1957.Check out my Web site at:www.anthonysdesigns.net I am a Sculptor/Desiger and have worked at my trade for 60 yrs. I was commitioned by Mattel to Sculpture and make the first master patterns for this Doll and I also used the features of my late wife LYLIS for Barbie. I resent that these people over the years have sold the credit for my work on this Project If you tell a LIE long enough and no one contest it – it then becomes the TRUTH>
