Barbie Doll‘s shoes are missing when i bought it. how to contact mattel?
i bought a barbie doll and she didn’t have any shoes on, and she was the only one that’s left there. so i asked the sales lady if she comes with shoes, she said no she doesn’t. but i still bought it. so i went to a different toys store again yesterday to shop for christmas, and i saw an exact same doll, but she has shoes on. i can’t return it to the store because its been a month since i bought it, and i don,t have the receipt anymore. but you can find on the doll’s box the website of mattel’s customers service for replacement of missing parts. so i went to that website, but i don’t know what to do. will mattel really replace that for free? how can i contact them?
umm, how can i choose for the best answer? what do i do?
but i’m from the philippines

Barbie Dolls–history of the Most Popular Doll Ever
In 1959 the first Barbie doll was shown at the New York toy fair. Billed as “New For ’59,The Barbie Doll:A Shapely Teenage Fashion Model Price $3.00.” Thus was born the Barbie doll phenomenon which is certainly one of the greatest success stories in toy manufacturing. Prior to Barbie nearly all children’s dolls were child dolls rather than adult figures. Barbie changed all this.
In 1945 Elliot and Ruth Handler formed a partnership with Harold Matson to manufacture picture frames. The two names Matson and Elliot were combined to form the company name Mattel. Elliot used the Picture Frame wood scrap to make Doll House furniture. This was the start of the Handler furniture business.
About this time Ruth noticed that her daughter Barbara and friends preferred to play with adult paper dolls rather than child or Baby Dolls. The girls preferred a doll which could be their role model when they grew up. Ruth realised that there could be big commercial possibilities in the adult doll market. She discussed the idea with her husband but he felt that it would be too expensive to start making the dolls.
Soon after this Ruth made a trip to Germany and purchased a doll called Lilli. This adult type doll was based on a German comic strip. On returning to the USA she began work to redesign the doll working with a Doll Clothes designer. The barbie doll was the result and it was named after Ruth’s daughter Barbara. The doll was patented by Mattel in 1958 and introduced in 1959. She was to become one of the most well known and well loved toys ever made.
Barbie soon became a collectors doll and was avidly sought after by adult collectors. From 1959 to 1972 the Barbie doll had seven distinct changes in her appearance and design. These Barbies made up to 1972 are recognised as vintage collectible dolls by their fans and are eagerly sought after. The 1959 Barbie doll in mint condition will sell for thousands of dollars. Some have sold for as much as $8000 to $10,000 but you can buy them for much less and $2000 to $3000 is quite common. Later editions fetch proportionately less. Dolls made in the 1969 to 1972 period can often be bought for a few dollars. Garage sales and flea markets are still the source of a few early dolls. About 300,000 of the 1959 Barbie were made and there are undoubtedly many out there still undiscovered.
