This article first appeared in the St. Louis Beacon: June 20, 2008 - Barbie’s dream of a peck on the cheek from Ken takes a distinctly nightmarish turn.
The Defamer notifies its readers of a jaw-dropping new Mattel tribute to Hitchcock’s “The Birds”: a Tippi Hedren look-alike Barbie complete with avian attackers. What young girls will make of the “Alfred Hitchcock Birds Barbie” we can only imagine, but it’s clearly the perfect gift for cinephilic doll collectors everywhere.
Thanks to “Birds”-watcher Robert Hunt for his expert spotting.
