Barbie The Movie Doll, President Barbie Collectible Wearing Shimmery Pink and Gold Dress with Sash​​, HPK05

Product Information

Barbie was the brainchild of Ruth Handler, co-founder (with her husband Elliot) of the toy company Mattel, Inc. Inspired by watching their daughter play with make-believe paper dolls of adult women, Handler realized there was an unfilled niche in the market for a toy that allowed little girls to imagine the future. The high ponytail, the pink, the bow — you were a true Barbie last night. What Barbie were you channeling? VOTER: Fundraiser Barbie would call me at all hours. At dinner. In the middle of my kids' soccer games. Barbie® doll wears a full, satiny gown that features a sparkly off-shoulder bodice and shimmery gold accents that trail down her skirt. FUNDRAISER: [casually puts cigarette out on tongue] Ohhh, I don't think I'm getting out of the game. Like, yeah, I could start a super PAC, but that's the coward's way out. Maybe I'll convince one of the Bratz girls to run. They aren't doing anything these days, I don't think.

TV: Speaking of hype, Barbie has arguably been the best kept secret of the year. Before this film, was there any other project that required you to be as tight-lipped on this level? TV: The film is quite existential, thematically . Did it make you think anything in particular about being alive, or, on the other hand, dying? Take home a part of Barbie™ The Movie with a radiant President Barbie collector doll in a beautiful dress. CAMPAIGN MANAGER: [sighs, rubs forehead, pours four fingers of scotch] You really aren't planning on running again, are you? TV: Right. So you have your own Barbie doll now. Did they send you a bunch of them or were you only able to get one? What did you do with it?CAMPAIGN MANAGER: [pours a glass for each of them] Yeah, but it's too small to read. For good reason. A presidential sash with a gold tassel adds a finishing touch to her stately look. She’s all set to lead Barbie Land with both grace and style!

Earlier today (April 4), the live-action movie Barbie unveiled new posters and the official trailer featuring its star-studded cast, including Issa Rae. I did not expect Barbie to be a movie about Ken — and more importantly, a movie Ryan Gosling steals with such glorious aplomb that I can’t even be that mad at him for it.You’ve said you wish you would’ve stolen stuff from President Barbie’s oval office. What was in there that had you saying, yeah I need this ? Normally I wear Chanel No. 5, but last night I wore Chanel Mademoiselle on the carpet because it’s pink. It was so stupid, I was like, Let me just dive all into the pink and smell pinkish, too. CAMPAIGN MANAGER: You're very right that it's hard to run a campaign without a party or positions. Any given speech was basically half an hour of platitudes. I’m just going to take the entire set. But, the Barbie beach was honestly such a solace for me in real life because we shot Barbie in London in the spring. It was just foggy and rainy as hell all the damn time, so walking onto that stage, it was a sunny, bright, beautiful beach and the lights felt like the sun, it was warm and I was just sitting in the lawn chair. We shot that “Hi, Barbie” scene over four days. It was crazy. Literally just us saying “Hi, Barbie” to each other took four days because of all the perspectives. Greta really wanted to make it initially like comically long and it didn’t end up as long, but for me it was like, fine, I’ll sit in this lawn chair and say “Hi Barbie.” I love that set and I love the beach, so it was fitting. And when Rae is not in front of the camera, she is working hard behind it. The comedian became mainstream during the success of her HBO series “ Insecure,” for which she served as executive producer for every season.
