Barbie, the most famous doll of recent times, was first introduced by Mattel in 1958, who took inspiration from Bild Lilli, a German comic-strip character. Both Barbie and Bild Lilli were portrayed as fashion ladies of the period - an extensive range of clothes, outfits and accessories were produced for Barbie and are highly sought after by collectors. Sindy, introduced in the 1960s, also has a large following in today's market, together with Sasha dolls - Toy dolls which realistically portray young children of the 1960s and 1970s.
