Frida Kahlo And Other Historic Women Are Being Made Into Barbies

rejectedprincesses:

The lineup is definitely more wide-ranging than I expected.

We start with Amelia Earhart, Frida Kahlo, and Katherine Johnson (of Hidden Figures fame – who, at 99, consulted on what her figure should look like!)

Then we have many more modern figures, very few of whom I was expecting:

  • Spanish entrepreneur and fashion designer Vicky Martin Berrocal
  • Chinese actress and philanthropist Xiaotong Guan
  • Australian wildlife conservationist Bindi Irwin
  • Italian soccer player Sara Gama
  • American Olympic snowboarder Chloe Kim.

  • Polish journalist Martyna Wojciechowska
  • British boxing champion Nicola Adams
  • Chinese prima ballerina Yuan Yuan Tan
  • American filmmaker and Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins.

  • World-renowned French chef Hélène Darroze
  • Chinese volleyball champion Hui Ruoqi
  • German designer and entrepreneur Leyla Piedayesh. 

It should be noted Barbie already offers figures in this line celebrating Ava DuVernay

Emmy Rossum, ballerina Misty Copeland, and Olympic gymnast Gabby Douglas.
