Faith Hill Barbie Doll Arrives, Tim McGraw Doll Joins Her
Faith Hill and Tim McGraw have been married for 15 years and in celebration of that milestone the country super duo are receiving a special gift, Mattel has turned them into barbie dolls.
Know as the Tim McGraw and Faith Hill Doll Gift Set the dolls arrive in September for $69.99 at BarbieCollector.com.
EW spoke with designer Linda Kyaw who said the pair were very involved in the creation of the dolls:
“Tim and Faith sent us photos of every detail” while she added, “including Tim’s complete suit, piece-by-piece; and Faith’s dress, make-up, and clear shots of her hair preference. The couple knew exactly what they wanted to see in doll form, and they helped us achieve the best possible results.”
The prototype for the dolls took two months to create and they really do offer a close likeness to the pair unlike some characters I’ve seen lately, notably the Twilight characters featured on their own creepy looking Christmas ornament at Hallmark stores, although McGraw’s doll definitely matches a closer resemblance.
Are you ready to run out and pick up your own Mattel country creations? Given the success of both singers I wouldn’t be surprised if these particular barbie dolls are the company’s big special edition hits of the holiday buying season.
In the meantime, Ken may be a little bit jealous that the Faith Hill barbie is married to Tim McGraw barbie and not him and who could blame him at least her proportions are more real to life than Barbie’s physique.
For the record, I think Tim McGraw would prefer if his doll was referred to as an “action figure.”
