Best Barbie dolls to buy ahead of the film of the summer - ES Best

Starring Margot Robbie as the eponymous fashion doll and Ryan Gosling as her lovestruck boyfriend Ken, it promises to be exactly the rose-tinted tonic we need right now.
Since the first Barbie doll was released for sale in 1959, Barbie and Ken have been a constant in the toy market, representing different careers, body shapes and races along the way. Designs have shifted and adapted to chime with the times, but it’s safe to say that it’s been positive Kenergy building for the film’s release, and we’re here for it.
