Group 22 - Barbie™ Jammin' Jeep® Wrangler Power Wheels
Contents |
Introduction
In 1959 Barbie was introduced. Launched by Mattel, one of the world’s largest toy company (Fortune 500), and it's popularity instantly increased. The depth to which the Barbie doll has been developed today is astonishing, with Barbie being the star in multiple books published by Random House and major motion pictures. Her biography has come to include her many accomplishments, which includes the ownership of a myriad of vehicles, from pink convertible corvettes to jeeps. In the case of the latter, Fisher-Price, with its line of Power Wheels ride-on toy cars, developed the Barbie Jammin’ Jeep in the 1990s. It was targeted toward young girls of age 3 and up, and had a maximum weight capacity of 130lbs. Features included two speeds forwards (2.5 and 5 miles-per-hour,) one speed in reverse, and a working FM radio, as well as Power-Lock brakes, (Fisher-Price, 2010).
