Die another day...

No I’m not talking about James Bond.

I’m talking about Barbie and Ken.

Those dollies are dead again.

Or to be more accurate ‘Dia De Muertos’

To celebrate the 2021 Day of The Dead, this year Ken is getting in on the action. Both dolls are beautifully designed by Javier Meabe for Mattel and styled in the tradition of Dia De Muertos. The dolls honor the traditions, symbols and rituals of the time-honored holiday.

The Barbie Dia De Muertos series honors the customs, symbols and rituals often seen throughout the festive time of remembrance. This year, Barbie celebrates the time-honored holiday with 2021 Dia De Muertos Barbie doll in a traditional dress embroidered with sugar skull and flower details. A crown of marigolds with hidden skull details adorns her hair, complemented by a twisted headband detail. Her hair is pulled back to accentuate intriguing calavera face painting that continues to her neck and forms a delicate skeleton. Vibrant bracelets complete her look. In gorgeous packaging featuring an original illustration, this collectible doll is ideal for display and gifting.

No doubt as I type this, they will already have been snapped up by ardent collectors!
