In 2003 the brand was revived and made over $2,5 in retail sales worldwide since then. Worldwide more than 25 mio. dolls, 10 mio. toy accesso-ries, 12 mio. books and 15 mio. in clothing were sold.

Holly Hobbie was originally developed as a line of greeting cards in 1967. By the early 1980s, Holly Hobbie was the #1 worldwide licence generating over $1 billion in retail sales. In 2006, a redesigned Holly Hobbie was launched as part of a spin-off product line called "Holly Hobbie and Friends". She was featured in a movie titled Holly Hobbie and Friends: Surprise Party.
