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.
