Barbie Video Girl
She may not be a living doll, but the new Barbie Video Girl from Mattel is a movie queen!
For around 50 years, Barbie has inspired girls to picture themselves in a variety of different careers. The Barbie Video Girl is no exception as she encourages young girls to think about trying their hand at film-making.
With a full-colour LCD screen hidden under her shirt in her back and a camera lens as part of her necklace, the Barbie Video Girl will give you a doll’s eye view of the world! She even comes with online editing software to give little misses the hands-on chance to put together their own movies. Pop her on your bike handlebars, for example, and see what the ride was like from her point of view.
This allows you to add music, other sound effects, graphics and visuals, while the camera records up to half an hour of footage, which you can upload on to your computer and edit.
To get the bigger picture, use the included USB cable to hook the Barbie Video Girl up to a larger screen.
Barbie is known for her sense of style, and this model is as smartly kitted out as ever in trendy cargo pants and shocking pink top.
Suitable for young princesses aged six or older, the Barbie Video Doll takes a couple of AAA batteries, not supplied with this product. She retails for around £70 and this user-friendly toy requires no special assembly.
But this doll is all set to be a must-have toy for girls for Christmas 2010, and tipped to be in short supply. So grab her while you still can. Lights, Barbie, action!
