Barbie movie sends demand for toys soaring ahead of National Barbie Day

National Barbie Day is right around the corner! On 9th March, the world celebrates one of the most iconic toy brands of all time.

Despite being almost 60 years old, at the ripe old age of 59, Barbie remains at the top of the toy charts, boosted by numerous movie tie ins and collaborations, including the new Barbie movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, to be released on 21st July.

Since the movie was announced, online retailer BargainMax.co.uk has seen searches for Barbie products increase by 35%, and as such has increased its stock levels to keep up with demand.
