The new ‘Barbie’ dolls’ sales reflect the movie’s success
The “Barbie” movie is a huge hit, not only setting box-office records for a movie directed by a woman but launching major successes for dolls inspired by the film. Most of the dolls are versions of Barbie and Ken as portrayed by various actors in the film, coming at the heels of other recent Mattel releases, such as one portraying Anna May Wong and the brand’s first doll with Down syndrome. Some of the dolls are sold out, but retailers are restocking them as fast as they can.
The ‘Barbie’ movie continues to roar ahead
The “Barbie” movie follows Margot Robbie’s Barbie and Ryan Gosling’s Ken as they leave Barbie Land and enter our real world, interacting with other Barbies and Kens as well as Mattel’s “chief executive officer” in the film, as portrayed by Will Ferrell. Not only did the movie helmed by Greta Gerwig get rave reviews and set records in its first weekend, but it was No. 1 at the box office in its second weekend, with a robust $93 million this weekend at the U.S. box office alone.
Who else is in the ‘Barbie’ movie?
The cast of the “Barbie” movie is packed with big-name comedic actors and rising stars. Versions of Barbie beside Robbie’s version are portrayed by actresses such as Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Emma Mackey and Dua Lipa. Other versions of Ken beside Gosling’s take are portrayed by Simu Liu, Ncuti Gatwa and John Cena.
Besides the central duo, other characters include a Mattel employee, played by America Ferrera, a forgotten doll from Mattel history named Allen, played by Michael Cera and the film’s narrator, voiced by Academy Award winner Helen Mirren.

While a few of the dolls are sold out, you can still see them below. And most are still available, as are the toys and games based on the movie.
