To celebrate the premiere of the new season of Doctor Who, BBC Studios and Mattel have teamed up to deliver this Doctor Who Barbie. You can preorder it at Barbie.com. It has an amazing likeness and captures the Thirteenth Doctor perfectly. I bet this is going to be a hot item for little nerd girls this Christmas. No word on price yet.
Mattel has announced a new line of Star Trek Barbies. These are due to arrive in June and the characters are Uhura, Kirk, and Spock. Amazon has Kirk and Spock right now, but no listing for Uhura. However, you can get all 3 in a set. Uhura looks absolutely lovely and makes a perfect Barbie doll. I assume they will release more characters as well as a scale bridge set since we can see it in some of these images.
As a nerd, I appreciate well designed toys. Especially since we’ve all seen our share of bad ones. I even love stuff that I would never play with. Like this Wonder Woman Barbie based on Gal Gadot. I just don’t make a habit of playing with dolls. Sorry.
But if I did, I would pick this one up. She has some nice upgrades from her previous version, like a royal blue, gold lamé lined hooded cape, a paneled skirt, and a metallic red bustier. It’s all in the details and they really nailed it here. She also has an updated hairstyle and a cool gold shield. I hope lots of little girls get this one and have fun.

The other day we showed you the new Barbie “dolls” based on Batman v Superman. At the time Batman and Wonder Woman had been unveiled, but not Superman. Well, now we have some images of the Superman version. He’s looking pretty good for a Barbie doll. You can order him here. Looks like they ship on March 1st. I wonder if Mattel is going to be making more superhero dolls after these. I like what they are offering.
A Wonder Woman Barbie doll is expected, but Batman and Superman Barbie dolls? At least they don’t look like Ken. Mattel has announced their Batman and Wonder Woman “Dolls” based on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Both are available for pre-order on Amazon right now in fact. You can find Batman here and Wonder Woman here. They both stand 13 inches tall. No Superman yet however. I know the female fans will love that Wonder Woman version. She looks great.
