>>7188609While Barbie doll remains very popular as a toy and collectible with children and adults, Mattel harmed itself more than anyone by shutting down websites, putting doll collecting magazines and Barbie dealers out of business, and angering dealers, publishers, writers, collectors and customers alike.
1997's Pink Anger should serve as a warning to legal and compliance departments of other companies to not throw the Barbie, er, baby out with the bath water by closing blogs, newsletters, websites and issuing ultimatums rather than working together with enthusiastic buyers and fans to solve problems.
