According to the Mattel Creations website this Barbie is “made to move”. Her limbs have the ability to hyper-extend, so of COURSE she can do the splits. She is always in the splits. You won’t find this doll on store shelves. She’s being made-to-order.
Pre-orders are open now through August 18th, with shipment expected on or before May 31, 2024. Head over to the Mattel Creations website for more information and to order your own Weird Barbie doll now. Barbie The Movie is playing in theaters nationwide.
