9 Surprising Movie Barbies

Features
By Sam Ashurst
Published 9 November 2009

Alfred Hitchcock's Barbie, anyone?

Alfred Hitchcock The Birds Barbie Doll

Alfred Hitchcock The Birds Barbie Doll

How Close Is It To The Original? Very close. In fact, you could argue that all of Hitch's leading ladies looked like Barbie dolls anyway.

Do We Want It For Christmas? Yes, we love the clip-on crows. Nice touch.

Barbie Twilight Edward Doll

Barbie Twilight Edward Doll

How Close Is It To The Original? Face stuck in a constant pout, ridiculously unlikely hair, empty eyes... Perfect likeness, we reckon.

Do We Want It For Christmas? Only if we can burn it.

Titanic Rose

Titanic Rose

How Close Is It To The Original? Not really. It looks more like Angelina Jolie on a night out than Kate Winslet.

Do We Want It For Christmas? We prefer our Titanic Rose's with a bit more meat on her bones, thanks.

Barbie Wizard Of Oz Wicked Witch

Barbie Wizard Of Oz Wicked Witch

How Close Is It To The Original? She's got the green skin, but where's the hook nose? She's way too pretty...

Do We Want It For Christmas? Yes, if only so we can convince our girlfriends to dress up as her at the annual New Year's Eve fancy dress party.

Green skin is suddenly pretty hot.

Mattel Speed Racer Collector Gift Set

Mattel Speed Racer Collector Gift Set

H ow Close Is It To The Original? This Barbie looks a little bit like Christina Ricci we suppose.The legs are a little long, but we can live with that, at least the hair's right.

But what the hell is going on with Emile Hersch? He looks like Hugh Grant on his way to a hen night.

Do We Want It For Christmas?
If we do, it'll be go, go, go Speed Racer - straight into the bin.

Mary Poppins Doll

Mary Poppins Doll

How Close Is It To The Original? This one's actually a perfect likeness. If you've ever wanted a plastic replica of Julie Andrews, you're in luck.

Do We Want It For Christmas? We, however, don't want a plastic replica of Julie Andrews. She wouldn't look right niext to our 18 inch Patrick Bateman with motion activated sound.

Wizard of Oz Winkie Guard Ken Doll and Winged Monkey

Wizard of Oz Winkie Guard Ken Doll and Winged Monkey

How Close Is It To The Original? Remember the bit when Tin Man, Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion disguise themselves as guards? This is a bit like that, if the person disguising themselves was a hair model.

Do We Want It For Christmas? Can we just have the monkey?

Mattel Barbie Grease Girls Rizzo

Mattel Barbie Grease Girls Rizzo

How Close Is It To The Original? She's not quite as stocky as Stockard Channing but if you squint a bit it's one of the best likenesses yet...


Do We Want It For Christmas?
Nah, that would be like getting a High School Musical action figure. We don't plan on doing that, either.

Ken as Legolas in Lord of the Rings

Ken as Legolas in Lord of the Rings

How Close Is It To The Original? It's exactly the same. The chaps behind the Barbie movie need to get on the phone with Bloom's agent right now. He's a perfect Ken. No offence Orlando.

Do We Want It For Christmas? We'll stick with our talking Gollum, ta. It's our preciousssss.
