Mattel’s 2021 Day of The Dead Dolls. Barbie and Ken do Dia De Muertos.

2021 Day of The Dead Barbie and Ken Dolls

When Mattel decides to create a collectible Barbie, they don’t screw around. Last year’s stunning 2020 Barbie Dia De Muertos was the second one in a now annual tradition. The doll sold out immediately and is now a costly collectible. This year, Mattel upped the ante and celebrates Dia De Muertos 2021 with TWO new collectible dolls: Barbie AND Ken Dia De Meurtos.

This year, Barbie celebrates the time-honored holiday with 2021 Dia De Muertos Barbie doll in a traditional dress embroidered with sugar skull and flower details. A crown of marigolds with hidden skull details adorns her hair, complemented by a twisted headband detail.

Her hair is pulled back to accentuate intriguing calavera face painting that continues to her neck and forms a delicate skeleton.
