Doll Rattle
Doll Rattle
In this article we will talk about a doll that was made specifically for children, the classic GI Joe.
Back in the late 50 and early 60 wrists were simply not something that children play with. Its deviation of the wrist, even before Barbie came out, was a doll perhaps with a bottle and a rattle. These dolls were made specifically for girls because boys do not play with dolls. If the did they look like ladybugs.
So Hasbro did their job for them. They had great success with its Barbie doll, but I wanted enter the market for dolls for the children if possible. After careful consideration and thorough research, Hasbro decided that if they were to make a doll for children to play with it would have to be a doll that children only want to play. It should be strong and resilient that children are supposed to be. Thus, in 1964, Hasbro introduced the first doll made specifically for children, the GI Joe doll and since was one of the most popular doll in history.
GI Joe was really strong and resilient. The wrist standing with one foot high and had moveable joints so that may arise in a number of ways. He was a soldier in the U.S. Army and came with boards and boots and it everything. It was a bone in his wrist quite naked children at play. And therein lies the genius of the idea of Hasbro.
If a wanted child accessories for your man of war who had to buy separately. The doll sells for about $ 5.00. But Hasbro really where his money was in uniform and different accessories you can visit the wrist.
The accessories are sold in flat packages, as opposed to dolls sold in boxes. Accessories which usually sell for about $ 1.50. Some were more and others less. They were usually sold in sets of logic. For example, not all the infantry who arrived with an M1 rifle, belt, helmet and hand grenades. Most accessory packs containing not more than 3 or 4 items in it. Some accessories, such as sandbags, came alone. Hasbro has made a mint with them because there was something that many of them.
In addition to accessories, you can buy different uniforms for GI Joe. You could dress as a Marine, sailor or pilot. Years later could dress as an astronaut or even buying a Space Capsule for him. The capsule was a piece and sells for about $ 10. At that time it was a lot of money.
In the late '60s, the growing outrage against the war in Vietnam, GI Joe became a controversial figure. But Hasbro had won his own war. The boys were totally caught his wrist and has become one of the best-selling dolls of all time, even if only appealed to a segment the child population.
