Meet Space Explorer Barbie! She’s going to Mars!
To celebrate one year on Mars, NASA has teamed up with Mattel for an astronaut Barbie who explores Mars! She’s part of the “I Can Be” series of Barbie dolls and comes with an awesome space suit that of course include pink boots!
“Space Explorer” Barbie was named “Career of the Year” for 2013. “Adding to her resume of more than 130 careers, Mars Explorer Barbie doll inspires girls to be adventurous and to always reach for the stars!” her press release reads.
Other “I Can Be” Barbies include a news anchor, engineer, pastry chef, and “kid doctor.”
Mattel has done other space-themed toys, including a “Barbie Miss Astronaut” in 1965, and 2012 Hot Wheels model of the Curiosity, but this is the first time they’ve directly teamed up with NASA.
I kind of want her, if you want her too she’s currently for sale on Amazon!
