As previously documented here on the website, I was attending the annual Toy Fair as a member of the Pop Culture media and while most of my findings will be posted over on the PiercingMetal.com website on THIS LINK – There are times when the narrative belongs here. Such is the case with Mattel’s signage about the 60th Anniversary of the world’s most famous fashion doll – Barbie. The doll was celebrating launch which took place at a Toy Fair just like this one.
