    Mattel Unveils Weird Barbie Doll, Based on Kate McKinnon

    Toymaker Mattel has revealed a brand new Weird Barbie will be joining their signature line! The doll is based on Kate McKinnon’s character from Greta Gerwig‘s billion-dollar “Barbie” movie. 

    These Weird Barbies come complete with a mismatched outfit, drawings all over their face, and legs that can do the splits. Even though McKinnon has admitted that she did not do those impressive splits herself. That effect was some movie magic pulled off by production designer Sarah Greenwood.

    “Sarah who did the set design was like, ‘I’ve made all these holes in the wall where she can put her real leg in, and then we’ll rig the other leg up,'” Gerwig said. “It was like a practical effect.”

    Greenwood and McKinnon’s work was so convincing that America Ferrera (Gloria) didn’t even realize it wasn’t her until a round table discussion. “Every single person asked if that was your leg, and so the way that you sold that, you should be proud,” Issa Rae (President Barbie) told McKinnon.

    These weird Barbies are made-to-order, and are already available to pre-order until August 18th. Mattel anticipates it will ship on or before May 31st, 2024.

    The record-shattering “Barbie” movie is currently in theaters now.
