Ami pointed me to this gorgeous new Supergirl Barbie, which is part of the Barbie Collector’s Fall 2008 line which also features Batgirl, Black Canary, and Wonder Woman dolls like you’ve never seen before. Okay, there were the amazing Tonner dolls from March 2007 but at $125 USD and up, those are out of reach for many casual collectors (and I like some of the new Barbie costumes better). And the 2003 Supergirl, Batgirl, Wondie, and Poison Ivy Barbies are long out of production.
No price is listed yet for these new DC Comics Barbies, but similar dolls on barbiecollector.com run from $24.95 USD (Pink Label), $24.95 USD (Silver Label) to $35.95 USD (Black Label). Not sure where they’ll be sold beyond the website and comicbook stores, but certain Barbie Collector’s dolls are Wal-Mart exclusives (ew, I know) so maybe they’ll be available there again?
If they are affordable I am SO BUYING THEM! :D
They all look so great (except for the stilettos on all of them :( ) :D
And heroic! Which is important! :D But clearly Barbie’s market is girls so it’s important that they look heroic :D
i love the Supergirl and esp. Black Canary Barbies. 0.0
just wow.
