The other day I hit a retail store to see if I could find the new BATMAN & CATWOMAN Barbie Doll Set. Mattel just released it & I have been curious to see what it really looked like. So far I had only seen images on the internet & in the new Barbie Dolls Catalog. Oh my god! This set of "Tommy & Kelly" Dolls are amazing! They are a part of their "PINK LABEL - BARBIE COLLECTOR" series. The costumes are very well made & the packaging design is awesome! In fact, it's so cool that I had to get one for my personal Batman Toy collection. The price isn't too bad either, around $16.00. They also had the one of Barbie as BATGIRL but I didn't have the extra cash with me at the time. I do plan on getting that one later, it's pretty nice also. OK, yes, I am a guy...but I'm secure enough with my masculinity ( I am straight & I have a wonderful relationship with a beautiful woman ) that I can actually say I am proud to own a few Barbies, Ha Ha Ha!
The Bat-Blog reported awhile back about 2 brand-new "Barbie Family" Dolls being put out this year by Mattel that will feature Tommy & Kelly dressed-up as Batman & Catwoman. They are so gosh-darn cute that every Batman / Barbie Collector is gonna have to have them! We had a photo from the 2008 Toy Fair & it was really cool to see them. But, the picture was kinda small. Well, here's a new high-resolution photo I got from a friend who's a very serious Barbie Collector. She's been searching for it for awhile & sent it to me as soon as it came in. ( Thanks Debbie, I appreciate that a lot & know the readers will love it ). Here's a way better picture showing the tiny details of the Catwoman Uniform and the Batman Bat-Suit. The detailing is pretty good & I like that they have the colors right. I really like that they used the retro "yellow oval" Bat-Symbol on the chest, old school! Mattel plans to deliver these in stores around September 2008. I'm guessing that since the release date will sort of be close to Halloween that the doll characters might be marketed as "wearing Halloween costumes" or "going to a costume party". Our friend Debbie said they will retail at around $29.95 for the set, not too bad!
It's really exciting to be a Batman Collector right now! There are a ton of new bat-toys coming out this year so you better start saving your money now, ha ha! It's been extremely stressful the last few months because there has been a HUGE drought of Batman merchandise in the stores. Well, look for that to change very soon! One new toy that's gonna be super-popular with Batman collectors, because they're so gosh darn cute, is the BATMAN & CATWOMAN set of Barbie Dolls by Mattel. These are the 2 "Barbie Family" members named "Tommy & Kelly", who are precious little children. For readers who don't know, my name is Tommy, so I should be expecting a lot of major teasing in the future, ha ha! But, I can already tell that I am gonna have to get these 2 dolls because they are soooo adorable, goo goo!
