Cartoon Barbies I’d Like to See
With the recent flap of the Black Canary “S&M” Barbie, I took a look at other cartoon/comic inspired Barbies and found her lacking.
Some suggestions:
- MJ Barbie
- Ellie Patterson Barbie
- Mrs. Lockhorn Barbie
- Anime Giant Eyed Barbie
- Blondie Barbie
- Invisible Woman Barbie
- “I say it’s spinach, and I say the hell with it” Kelly
- Cathy Barbie with “Ack!” Button
- Secretary Chased Around the Desk Barbie
- Liberty Meadows’ Brandy Barbie
- Marcie & Peppermint Patty Kelly and Stacie
- Marge Barbie
Any I’ve missed?
