More news from Mattel. Today they announced a five-year partnership with MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) that hopes to redefine how people interact with and connect to art.

We got a sneak peek at the first release in the series earlier today.


This is directly from the Club 59 email I received today.

Barbie Club 59, Club Grayskull, Fang Club, and Red Line Club will all have 24 hours together to shop this collection before the general public*. If you’re not familiar with our membership clubs, check out the full list of perks and sign up today. You must be a member by November 9, 2025, at 11:59pm PT to participate.

VINCENT’S VISION, BARBIE’S GLOW
When two icons collide, culture shifts. Barbie doll, a timeless symbol of style and reinvention, steps straight into Vincent van Gogh’s legendary The Starry Night from MoMA’s collection, turning one of the world’s most celebrated masterpieces into a living canvas.


It's projected that this doll will be extremely limited as she will be sold on both Mattel Creations to four different club memberships. She will also be available on the MoMA giftshop website, though not in the physical store itself as far as I know.

Additionally, she has the Claudette sculpt which is extremely popular with some collectors.

However, Van Gogh's Starry Night has already been done as part of the Museum Collection, though this seems to be a step up - or maybe not. Depends on quality control.











Earlier today, Stevie Nicks posted this image on her social media accounts, teasing a new doll. Given the boots, white gown and penchant for recreating iconic looks, it's likely this doll will be from the photo shoot from her Bella Donna album.

Mattel does have a Barbie Signature drop scheduled two weeks from today so it's probable that this is the doll scheduled for release.





Mattel and Amazon are planning to partner on a live-action series based on the Shani line. Most collectors, including former Mattel designer Bill Greening, have expressed hope that the line's creator, Kitty Black Perkins, will be involved.

It's also Amazon Prime Deal Days and one of the latest versions of Barbie from that movie (the pink "Leaving Barbieland" fashion, seems to be one of their most popular deals at under $20.

Finally, the AA version of the Peaches and Cream repro is now shipping. My Shop app is telling me that it will arrive June 26th from San Bernadino. Somehow, I don't think that's right.
