I Think She Killed Skipper!: Barbie Launches Terrifying New Doll Series With 'Haunted Beauty Ghost Barbie'

Okay, so "terrifying" might have been a giant overstatement. MY BAD. I can't help it if I have a flair for the dramatic. *flourishing cape* "Stop that." Not until you acknowledge I'm naked underneath and you saw the goods. This is Haunted Beauty Ghost Barbie, the first in Mattel's new Haunted Beauty line. Wow -- so scary, guys. I was hoping for some blood and disfigurement, maybe even an eyeball hanging out of the socket. But noooooooo, instead they make the prettiest lil' ghost to ever rattle chains in a toy box. I say we petition for the next doll to be possessed and have some wind-up head spinning action. Now that -- that's something I'd buy my little sister for her birthday.

Hit the jump for some closeups and a worthwhile shot of 'Empress of the Aliens Barbie' because that's a real thing too.

Thanks to roshan, who agrees the best thing about buying your little sister Barbies is being able to steal the heads off them and use them as collateral in negotiations about not telling mom that you snuck out after bedtime.

    Because Hello Kitty has already run her course, Taiwan just opened the very first Barbie Cafe in Taipei. Now I know what you're thinking, and no, it's not a bootleg -- Mattel actually licensed the restaurant. "I'm shocked." No, you're just kind of racist. Now let's hear wha... / Continue →

    These are PaleoBarefoots, a pair of minimalist chainmail shoes made for running around in the woods pretending you're on a dragon slaying mission or whatever. They're a real product you can actually buy. WHY you'd buy them is beyond me, but maybe you misused your neighbor's t... / Continue →

    This is the $150 Dark Knight Batman hoodie from Marc Ecko. It looks... "Kinda crappy." You said it, not me. It reminds me of what a cheap knockoff of a real Batman hoodie might look like. Yeah, this is no joke. You're looking at the closest thing to taking on the role of Go... / Continue →

    Looks like Galadriel from Lord of the Rings to me.

  • This article made me laugh :p But seriously, the dolls mentioned above are not for kids. They are adult collectors items and shouldn't be played with. People failed to remember that adults collect Barbie dolls and that's what started the whole tokidoki Barbie (tattoos) fiasco last year.

  • They should rename the line "Barbie is jealous of Monster High, um, Here You Go".

  • not that I wouldn't still want/buy them... *cough*is a doll loving skinny-fattie*cough*

  • You don't need kids to collect dolls! :)

    barbie looks better designed as a villain

  • First picture looks like Galadriel from the Lord of the Rings, when Frodo offers to give her the One Ring... Maybe its just my nerdbrain though.

  • Yeah, if they can make a doll pee, why can't they make one with projectile green vomit?

  • A bet theres a line of those doll loving fatties waiting to rub one out on these dolls.

  • You only said that because you think she's hot. Amirite?

  • You said it first, now you're the suspicious doll lover :P

  • TOUCHE.
