Tokidoki Barbie Doll
Tokidoki designer Simone Legno recently launched the new Tokidoki Barbie Doll. The pink-haired Barbie features Tokidoki tattoos along the arm and neck, pink miniskirt with leopard print leggings, black top with the skull heart & bones, a bag with the brand and Bastardino as her little pet.
Official Description:
tokidoki® Barbie® doll is always ready for cutting-edge fashion! This funky fashionista features trendy tattoos and a pink bob. With cactus friend, Bastardino, by her side, she’s ready for fun in fashion-forward form!
The doll retails for $50 and has already been sold out! I'm a big Tokidoki fan and I think it's cute, but it is more geared towards adult collectors rather than young kids. You won't see it selling at toy stores like Toys-R-Us, but it is available at www.barbiecollector.com. So far it has sparked some controversy and outraged by some parents. Is the Tokidoki Barbie a bad influence? What do you think?
really love the tokidoki/barbie collabo. personally, i think that the barbie doll is more of a collector's item than a toy.
ReplyDeletei agree with emmanuel! this tokidoki collab is such a success!
ReplyDeleteI think the fact that it has upset parents is a bit absurd. Mattel has made collection Barbies and non-toy Barbies for decades. Some of those collectible Barbies have even been sold in toy stores. The fact that this one is not being sold in toy stores proves they were conscious of what children would see. However, people are always looking for something to complain about......
