Tokidoki Barbie: Toy or no toy?

Last month US toymaker Mattel collaborated with LA-based Tokidoki to launch an interesting collector’s edition Barbie doll. With an initial price of $50 the doll is now being sold on eBay for a whopping $500.


Contrary to the classic blonde-hair Barbie style, the Tokidoki doll looks more as a character from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, with a pale-pink bob, tattoos on her back, shoulders and neck and a green pet named Bastardino.
