Less than a year after the first three Barbie Star Wars dolls were revealed by Mattel and, appropriately, on May the 4th (May the force be with you is a popular Star Wars universe greeting for those not on the know), four new dolls are available for preorder from Barbie Signature. Rey, C-3PO, a Storm Trooper and Chewbacca are the latest beauties to be added to the Leia, Darth Vader and R2D2 ones already out there. As before, they are again fashion interpretations of the Star Wars characters, not faithful representations of them. And again they succeed in that, with brilliant iterations of iconic looks and beautiful dolls. The price is again $100.00 each, with Chewbacca reaching $150.00 as it’s platinum label edition and Barbie Signature online exclusive - the rest of them are Gold label. Unfortunately all have the Model Muse body, which means no articulation. I think the Star Wars Barbie dolls are a missed opportunity regarding articulation. They are shipping from June 1st till the 15th, with limitations due to the global pandemic affecting shipments.

A beautiful interpretation of Rey - if she had to go to the Met Gala! Incidentally, that would be today, if it weren’t for the pandemic. Apart from the missing articulation, the rest looks lovely. The Grecian goddess style fits her, the hair is intriguing enough and the ombré boots are her avant guard element. I hope the jewellery looks this good up close and not too plastic. Yes, I’d get her if I could. Maybe someday.

This is the Barbie.com exclusive doll - you can only preorder her from Mattel. I’m never crazy about fur, even fake fur, and this is no exception. The fact that she looks like Kim Kardashian dressed up as Chewbacca certainly does not help. The fur detail on the box doesn’t justify the extra 50 bucks. Pass.
