It’s ‘Fleeing In Terror Barbie’! Official merch.

Posted by Bryan White | Tuesday September 23, 2008 | News

I don’t typically cover a lot of toys up in this piece as I’m sure you’re aware.  I don’t see much reason to. The big horror sites fall all over themselves at every newsbite about a new Pinhead action figure or Leatherface bobblehead and, quite frankly, I think they’re retarded. I, too, was once retarded and there’s a box of such action figures up in my attic, collected under the misconception that they’d someday have some kind of value about them. So don’t ask my why I broke for a Barbie doll. You’ll have to take my word for it, it probably has more to do with the Alfred Hitchcock association than than the horrific gender stereotype communicated by this legacy of posable fashion dolls.

You’re not looking at a photoshop or some custom Barbie hack.  This is an actual toy that will be on sale next month.  The product is a tie-in with Hitchcock’s ‘The Birds’, obviously and comes with everything you see here.  I’m not sure what an actual Barbie runs these days but this one is selling through Entertainment Earth for a mean $45.  Preorder yours now if this sort of thing is you bag.
