The “Barbie” movie has officially made $1 billion at the box office, and it’s led to all things Barbie trending online and everywhere else — from Ryan Gosling making the Hot Billboard 100 charts with “I’m Just Ken” to America Ferrera’s monologue about being a woman. It’s also led to a surge in interest about actual Barbie dolls.
Now, Weird Barbie, as played by SNL alum Kate McKinnon in the film, is coming to a toy store near you.
With her bad haircut, stretched-out limbs, and mismatched clothes, Weird Barbie is what happens when playtime goes off the rails and kids get creative. And on Saturday, Mattel announced on Instagram that they’ll be adding Weird Barbie to their collection.
Since the release of the film, Mattel has been busy producing various dolls in the likeness of the characters, including Simu Liu’s Ken and Issa Rae’s President.
Barbie fans can pre-order Weird Barbie on Mattel’s website now.
