Western 'Barbie' and Ken Get Stunning Funko Pop! Figures

The Big Picture Barbie collectors can now add Pop! figure versions of the iconic doll and Ken to their collection, based on the versions seen in Greta Gerwig's movie adaptation. Funko has unveiled Pop! figures of Barbie and Ken in their Western clothes from the film. Both figures are approximately 4.3 inches tall and are now available to order on Funko's website. In the film, Barbie and Ken get Western clothes after arriving in the real world.

Barbie also stars America Ferrera as Sasha's mother Gloria, Michael Cera as another doll named Allan, Will Ferrell as the Mattel CEO, and Rhea Perlman as Barbie creator Ruth Handler. The other versions of Barbie include Kate McKinnon as Weird Barbie and Issa Rae as President Barbie. The other versions of Ken include ones played by Simu Liu, Ncuti Gatwa, and Kingsley Ben-Adir. Since its release in July, Barbie has been a box-office success.

Close Mattel's Future Movie Plans Mattel, the toy company that creates the Barbie dolls, has plans for other upcoming films. One of them is a Hot Wheels movie, based on the toy car brand. The film is being developed by J.J. Abrams' production company Bad Robot. "For a long time, we were talking to Mattel about Hot Wheels, and we couldn't quite find the thing that clicked, that made it worthy of what Hot Wheels-that title-deserved," Abrams said in July.

Barbie is currently playing in theaters. Both the western Barbie and Ken Funko Pop! figures are currently available to purchase on Funko's website. A trailer for the film can be watched below:
