BARBIE'S FOR 'THE BIRDS'
By DAVID K. LI December 17, 2008
A scary new version of Barbie is taking wing.
For $40 a pop, grown-up collectors of the iconic Mattel doll can have their favorite blonde, packaged in a box and viciously pecked by birds.
This special "Barbie Collector" model is tailored after Tippi Hedren's role in the 1963 Alfred Hitchcock thriller "The Birds."
"The master of suspense, gave us a tale of terror not soon forgotten in his film 'The Birds,' " according to the Barbie pitch.
"Dressed in a re-creation of the stylish green skirt-suit worn by the film's ill-fated heroine [played by Tippi Hedren] in an iconic scene, Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Birds' Barbie Doll celebrates the 45th anniversary of the acclaimed film."
Makers of the doll warn parents that this Barbie is "rated PG-13" and might not be suited for every little girl in New York.
Other old-school models of the famous doll include "Barbie as Marilyn Monroe," "Twist 'N Turn Barbie" and "Wizard of Oz Dorothy Barbie."
