12 celebrities after whom Barbie and Ken dolls were made, and they are strikingly similar (14 photos)

Mattel is famous for its Barbie and Ken dolls, with which more than one generation of children plays. But time passes, and demands change: “stereotypical” Barbies no longer satisfy modern girls.





The company meets its dear consumers halfway and creates dolls in the image of popular celebrities. But not only children are attracted to such products: some adults also happily collect collections of miniature stars of the past and present. Thus, famous actresses, artists and singers of the 20th century settled in private collections and museums, and dolls of modern celebrities are still bought.
