Rotel. www.rotel.com. Introduction. Decades ago, an amplifier with 80 watts per channel (they were all two-channel amplifiers in those days), was considered a big amplifier. Now, 200 watts x 7 is common. Amplifiers of much higher power are also available.
Black Barbie first hit the shelves in 1980 â but with white features shared by many of the dolls following her. Todayâs launch prompted many black women to praise Mattel for its efforts.
Barbie was first released by US toy giants Mattel in 1959. Her full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts, the name of the daughter of Mattel founders Elliot and Ruth Handler (USA). Bettina posed for a Guinness World Records photoshoot (see above and below) in October 2011, when her collection surpassed 15,000 dolls. She received her first doll when she was five years old â but it wasnât Barbie, it was Midge, Barbieâs best friend.
