An artist who photographed Barbie dolls in sexually suggestive poses has won a five-year legal battle with Mattel, the toy's makers, after a judge dismissed its attempts to stop him as "groundless and unreasonable" and ordered the company to pay his £1 million legal fees. Tom Forsythe, 46, from Kanab, Utah, produced a series of 78 images of the doll in 1998, entitled Food Chain Barbie, in sexual poses in or around household objects, to illustrate "Barbie's power as a beauty myth".
