Astronaut Barbie

Hi all,

Another clip from You Tube, this time a review of the Astronaut Barbie doll, by Toy Polloi. This seems to be a fairly recent doll, 2019. 

The fabric space suit has printed-on detail, with white plastic gloves, boots, and helmet. It comes on a card, with a pink and white rocket printed on it. Ten pounds in Britain.

Over the years there have been a few other space or SF related Barbies. This site gives a run-down of these space Barbies - she first joined the US Astronaut corps back in 1965 (when she was only 6 years old) as Miss Astronaut. 

She also served aboard the USS Enterprise from the Star Trek universe - worryingly, she is dressed in red - and we all know what happens to Star Trek characters who wear red.
