"She's the most Moschino Barbie® ever!" exclaims the young girl in a parody of a Barbie commercial designed to go viral. The doll is for adult collectors but the commercial features three kids playing with Moschino Barbie®, one of whom is a very fierce boy with a super trendy disconnected undercut.

According to the outlets with the latest scoop on the doll, she will retail at about $150. There is no official word yet on actual production numbers and where the dolls are going to be available. The latest rumors have some collectors grousing and grumbling already. Photos of the packaged doll clearly show that she is a Gold Label doll, which means we're probably looking at higher production numbers than the early rumors implying numbers in the 1K to 2K range. We now have official images of the dolls from Barbie Collector and Moschino.

This latest collaboration between Barbie Collector™ and Moschino comes on the heels of Jeremy Scott's Spring 2015 ready-to-wear collection for Moschino shown during Milan Fashion Week last year. The very kitschy capsule collection clearly drew much inspiration from Barbie, and we were told that a very limited collectible doll was also given to attendees of his show.

Barbie Collectors and Jeremy Scott fans knew it was only a matter of time before a collaborative effort would lead to Moschino Barbie® doll. So far, we know that Barbie doll will come with a logo T-shirt, quilted faux leather bomber jackets, earrings, sunglasses, a backpack, a logo baseball cap, a logo belt, necklaces, a purse, little Moschino heels, and a miniature Moschino shopping bag. Whew! She's heavily accessorized! We also know from early reports that another RTW collection will accompany the release of this doll. The collection will include adult-size versions of Barbie's clothes and accessories, and two Moschino Barbie T-shirts.

This doll will be available on November 9, at Moschino.com and net-a-porter.com.

The Longest Hair Ever!

Jewel Hair Mermaid Barbie®
There's a common story heard from adult male doll collectors like myself. It's about the doll that got away. As a young boy, I had to admire Barbie doll from a safe distance because of social norms that dictated what kind of toys were appropriate for a boy. Barbie was considered inappropriate, of course. I only got to play with Barbie when I was at a friend's house, or when my younger cousin wasn't playing with hers. 
During that time, I was also going through a huge mermaid phase. I was so into mermaids; from Disney's Ariel to the darker mermaids of lore. Many of my drawings and sketches had mermaids as a subject, from when I was about 6 years old until I was 10 or so. So when Jewel Hair Mermaid Barbie was released in 1995--I was 10 years old--this doll was the fulfillment of my childhood fantasies. I was captivated. She was a mermaid who could become human when you removed her "tail", and she had "the longest hair ever"! It even said so on the box. Every time I saw the commercial on TV, I pined for her.

    About the Webmaster

    My name is Jared.  I began collecting dolls in 2011.  It all started with Barbie® Basics Model No 16 Collection 002 for me. Soon after that, I started photographing my dolls, editing the images and sharing my work on my Tumblr photoblog, Life in Plastic. "Playing" with dolls has inspired me to learn to sew, paint with acrylics, re-root doll hair, practice my bead craft, among other things...My collecting hobby turned into a passion for creating art in different media!
