Simu Liu Rocks Disco Gold in Mattel's Barbie Movie-Inspired Collection

Dancing Liu in Gold: Ken Doll Dazzles in Disco Attire

The suave Simu Liu, best known for his spellbinding performance in 'Shang-Chi', is now immortalized as a Ken doll decked in a gold and white disco tracksuit. Liu's reaction to his petite persona was one of pleasant surprise: "Wow. Oh my god. This is Ken me. His hair is so perfectly coiffed. I'm a little jealous, to be honest."

Also included in the lineup are:

- Robbie's Barbie in a "perfect day" outfit, a charming "vintage-inspired pink and white gingham dress" accessorized with a "dairy chain necklace and pastel pink heart-adorned pumps," to quote Mattel's description.

- Rae’s “president” Barbie donned a pink and gold satin ballgown with a sparkly off-shoulder bodice and shimmery gold accents.

- Ferrera's character, Gloria, is showcased in a three-piece suit.

Celebrating Barbie's Big Screen Debut: Liu and Co. Pay Tribute

Lisa McKnight, executive vice president, and global head of Barbie and Dolls at Mattel, hailed the movie as a "monumental moment" for the company. The collection, she says, "perfectly captures the fun and joy of Barbie that is at the heart of the film."

The Barbie movie collection not only encapsulates the charm of the film's characters but also features mini replicas of Barbie’s pink RC Corvette from Hot Wheels and the Barbie Dreamhouse.
