“Weird Barbie” is an unexpected fan favorite in the Barbie movie. Mattel has produced dolls for President Barbie (Issa Rae), Gloria (America Ferrera), Tourist Ken (Simu Liu), and the two main leads. When I say “leads,” I’m referring to the characters played by Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. People relate to her because she is the outcast of Barbieland, isolating herself from the other pretty Barbies. She used to be one of the most beautiful Barbies, but the girl who owns her is abusive towards her. The abuse has given her a special ability to fix other Barbies when they get broken. As a result, she helps others, but they mostly avoid her.
She symbolizes those Barbie dolls who end up in the hands of destructive owners. That’s why her hair is cropped unevenly, she smells like the basement, and her face has marker lines. Many kids have even started a TikTok trend of apologizing to their “Weird Barbies” while Billie Eilish’s song plays in the background, showcasing their deformed dolls.
Back when she had no official merchandise, some Barbie collectors attempted to create their own versions of Weird Barbie. Mattel took notice of this, leading to the release of an official merchandise line for her.
Mattel Announced that Weird Barbie is now going to have her official doll.

The Official Weird Barbie doll has the same dress she wore when she met Barbie. If she sells well, who knows, her pants version might also become a doll. Her resemblance to her actress, Kate McKinnon, is not very accurate, as molds from previous Barbies were used. Her arms and legs use the Made to Move mold. I seriously wish all the Movie Barbie dolls would use the Made to Move molds. Weird Barbie is, by far, the only Official Barbie movie doll that uses the Made to Move mold. This doll is flexible so you can use her for stop motion animation. She costs $50 USD and will be shipped in 2024.
