Barbie as a Rugby Player: Mattel Releases a Sports Doll for the First Time.

Ellie Kildun Will Get Her Own Barbie Doll

According to The Sun: English rugby star Ellie Kildun will become the heroine of a new series of Barbie dolls. This was reported by The Sun. This is the first time Mattel has released a doll dedicated to rugby.

The Ellie Kildun doll will feature a new sporty Barbie style with a more pronounced athletic figure. Mattel

This news comes after the launch of the career series of Barbie, which includes sports characters such as a footballer, gymnast, and tennis player.

The doll will have a new athletic figure with clearly defined muscles, highlighting women's strength in sports. A source noted:

“This is a big moment for women's sports. The Red Roses are powerful positive role models, and the new Barbies highlight this with their athletic figures and muscles – these are not the idealized proportions we have seen before.”

Ellie said:

“We are showing a new generation of girls that you can achieve anything, be strong and fast – that’s powerful, and you can break barriers. I thought nothing could compare to the feeling of winning a trophy, but having my own unique Barbie doll comes very close to that!”

She also added:

“She looks just like me, down to every little detail: her curls, custom shoes, and the Barbie Red Roses ball. Now I just need to teach her how to spin and see if she can score a few tries!”

The Red Roses team fulfilled their dream of the World Cup by defeating Canada 33-10.

In front of a record number of spectators, nearly 82,000 people, John Mitchell's team confirmed why they won 33 matches in a row since losing in Auckland four years ago.
