The Barbie Movie has enjoyed a massive amount of success, surpassing $1 billion at the box office over the weekend despite only hitting cinemas a little more than two weeks ago. Showcased in the movie were real-life versions of Barbies from throughout the doll's history as well as a few new characters never seen before. One of those additions was Weird Barbie, a representation of a doll effectively tormented by its child owner, played by Kate McKinnon.
Weird Barbie's hair has been cut, her face has been drawn on, and she does the splits a lot, presumably because her owner in the real world has left her somewhere in that position. Even though Weird Barbie is supposed to be what a doll looks like when it has been neglected, Mattel is turning the movie version into an actual Barbie doll, and you can pre-order it through Mattel Creations right now.
As Weird Barbie's product description states, she's "a doll that’s been played with just a little too much". Sporting a similar haircut to the one McKinnon's character does in the movie, the doll even has the same markings on her face as the movie version. Completing the look is the pink dress with puffy sleeves, adorned with the same pattern you saw Weird Barbie wear on the big screen. Oh, and the snakeskin boots, of course.
