Mattel announces new product collection to celebrate upcoming movie ‘Barbie’ 

Mattel announced a new collection from across ita portfolio of brands, inspired by the highly anticipated film, Barbie. Created in partnership with Warner Bros. Pictures, the upcoming movie debuts in theatres nationwide on 21 July.

Fans can now take home a part of the movie and play out even more stories with toys from brands including UNO, Hot Wheels, Fisher-Price, MEGA and Barbie.

The line of Barbie the Movie dolls features the looks that fans will see in the movie, reflecting the signature styles of Barbie, Ken, and new characters as they traverse through Barbie Land and beyond.

Best of all – the collection features several recognisable and must-have accessories, including a mini replica of the iconic three-story DreamHouse from MEGA and a stunning pink RC Corvette from Hot Wheels.
