Barbie Is Latest Bond Girl
The plastic wonder lives to dye another dayBarbie and long-term boyfriend Ken are playing out a new fantasy - as a glamorous Bond girl and tuxedo-clad secret agent.
Barbie has taken on many roles, from astronaut to veterinarian, but this doll likes her martinis shaken, not stirred.
Mattel is cashing in on the 40th anniversary of Bond movies with a special Barbie and Ken gift set - but, at £50, it doesn't come cheap.
Ken is dressed in 007's trademark tuxedo and carries a briefcase while Barbie wears a golden lace gown and red shawl with a cell phone strapped to her thigh.
Mattel said the Barbie and Ken set "pays tribute to the many memorable James Bond films and their famous characters".
The 20th James Bond film, Die Another Day, is scheduled for release 22 November.
It stars Pierce Brosnan and Halle Berry.
