I usually never geek out about Barbie dolls. Sure I played with my fair share as a kid but usually I only had what I considered to be the “cool” ones. Meaning the ones with horses or the ones with brightly colored hair like the Hula Barbie. Besides those I was all about X-Men cards and figures. Well Marvel has just announced a collaboration with Barbie for their 80th anniversary of the comics if that’s not targeted marketing I don’t know what is.
You can now pre-order them at Gamestop for $54.99 and they will be shipped out when they release in October of this year.
