Doctor Who Limited Edition Barbie® makes its world premiere, immediately after the premiere of the all-new series of Doctor Who which began on 7th October on BBC One

BBC Studios and Mattel have partnered to release the first ever Doctor Who Limited Edition Barbie® doll. It has been created in celebration of the new series of Doctor Who, starring Jodie Whittaker, which premiered on BBC One on Sunday 7th October at 6.45pm.

Pre-sale starts today, 8th October 2018, available via https://forbiddenplanet.com/.

David Wilson Nunn, Creative Director, BBC Studios says “This year, we’re introducing an all-new look for Doctor Who. New monsters, new stories, new characters and of course a new Doctor in Jodie Whittaker, the first woman to play the role.

Given Barbie’s® celebration of women who have made history, as well as iconic characters from some of the best loved movies and shows, we felt it was a great opportunity to work with Mattel to create a doll based on the Thirteenth Doctor.  

The Doctor Who Barbie® doll offers fans and collectors a new way to celebrate the adventures of this iconic character.”

Exploring the universe, the Doctor Who Barbie® wears a rainbow-striped t-shirt, paired with cropped trousers and a trench coat. Additional, true-to-character details include Doctor Who signature braces and lace-up boots. With sonic screwdriver in hand, this collectable Barbie® doll is fully posable and sculpted to the likeness of her onscreen character.
