When Xylie and Kayla are having manicures a shark is having a mainicure too. So when everyone is looking at him, he replies "What?". In Barbie: A Fashion Fairytale, Barbie has a Barbie in A Mermaid Tale poster in her trailer gallery. Reflecting on the process that led to the creation of this doll, Barbie Designer Angel Kent recalls how he approached this and the other options in the Showdown. The biggest change from last year was in the design sketch phase. "I wanted them to be cohesive," Angel says, "so I themed them altogether as an undersea theme, my favorite – whereas in the first [Doll Design Showdown] each doll had a different theme." Quotes: "What makes you different just might be your greatest strength." | "It feels good to be a part of something bigger than yourself." His tail and fin are colored in ombre shades of blue and purple and a hint of pink; colorful stars and a scale-pattern add more fantasy touches.

The trident is not included, but you can google "Aquaman trident" and find a lot of them that would work with this doll. Trailer Gallery ( Sing Along With Barbie trailer, Barbie: A Fashion Fairytale teaser trailer, and The Barbie Movie Collection trailer)

We've had the pleasure of designing mermaid dolls for Barbie Signature before, but this is our first merman, and we made sure his radiant tail would glimmer from every angle, with rose golden scale details and iridescent fins. You'll even see those fins attached to his forearms as well! Barbie merman doll bends at the waist so kids can pretend he's "swimming" in the sea or sit him up to soak up the sun!
