Barbie Meets the Whoniverse by Revealing New "Doctor Who" Dolls Inspired by the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday
The Barbie x Doctor Who dolls were revealed today and are available to preorder now.
Barbie, meet the Whoniverse! Barbie is celebrating time and space with brand-new dolls of the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday, as played by Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson.
What’s Happening:
- Brand-new dolls of the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday from Doctor Who made their debut at MCM London Comic Con today, May 23rd.
- The Barbie x Doctor Who collaboration features the Doctor and Ruby’s costumes from “The Church on Ruby Road."
- The Barbie Fifteenth Doctor Doll features a face sculpted in the likeness of Ncuti Gatwa. He wears an iconic look with a striped shirt, sleek pants, a long brown jacket and white sneakers. This design captures the bold, expressive energy of the Doctor.
- The Barbie Ruby Sunday Doll, sculpted in the likeness of Millie Gibson, is dressed in a furry-trimmed jacket, red shirt, plaid skirt, black tights and boots. This ensemble reflects Ruby’s style and spirit as the Doctor’s first companion.
- Gatwa reacted to seeing his Barbie doll for the first time in the video below, which is especially poignant for the actor, given that he appeared in the recent Barbie film.
- Both Barbie x Doctor Who dolls are now available for preorder via Mattel Creations, and will be coming to Target, Walmart and Amazon in late July.
- Meanwhile, the show itself is gearing up for an epic two-part season finale, which kicks off this Saturday with “Wish World" – streaming on Disney+ where available outside the U.K.
What They’re Saying:
- Ncuti Gatwa, The Doctor: “Barbie is iconic, so to see a Barbie iteration of the Doctor was emotional, surreal, incredible and I can't wipe the smile off my face. I hope kids out there are able to enjoy the doll and see themselves in it and think 'I can do anything.’"
