..."Every year when I sit down to design the new Día De Muertos dolls, there’s a flood of emotions; I’m honored and excited to represent this holiday that is so close to my own heart,” Mexican-American Barbie designer Javier Meabe, who also worked on the designs, told Hola! magazine. “I understand how important this holiday is and am grateful for the opportunity to continue celebrating these traditions with Barbie respectfully.”
The Día de Muertos Barbie doll, in a purple ruffled dress, and Ken, who wears a blue shirt and patterned vest, both don skulls and flower details. The Benito Santos x Barbie doll is in a traditional charro outfit with a black dress and bolero jacket.
While the Benito Santos x Barbie doll is now sold out, the two other dolls are still available for purchase."
