Not too long ago, only as far back as the 60s and 70s, the most popular toys were those that encouraged children to use their imaginations whilst they played. 1959 saw the creation of the craze that was Barbie; a simple blonde doll that allowed little girls to change the clothing and style of the doll at will. There was no tie-in television series, just an ill-proportioned plastic blonde with a wardrobe only as large as the child's imagination. Seven years later Barbie was joined by her spiritual partner, no not Ken in his co-ordinating outfits, but the ultra-masculine Action Man. Action Man, the doll for boys', gave as much creative choice as his female counterpart, however he spent more time in precarious situations fighting evil in acts of derring-do than changing outfits like Barbie; in which case it was the child's mind for great action set-pieces that made the fun complete.
