The Top Nerd Barbies

[Bizarro Amy]

Out of that list, I have a Wonder Woman, but not the most recent one they made, the Tommy and Kelly set, and Black Canary. I also have older Batgirl with and without the Batcycle, and the Supergirl with a white t-shirt. I didn't pick up the newer Supergirl when she first hit stores, and now I can't find one anywhere except eBay. I also got my sister-in-law the Birds doll, as she's a big Hitchcock fan. We were also joking around about how to make a custom Psycho, but she wants a silhouette on the packaging instead of Ken as the killer.

yeah, barbie from the birds is the coolest one.

There's also a Wedding Dressed Mary Jane Watson I believe....

BTW ... I think Kelly is Barbie's Niece,... & Tommy's her Friend.

The New Black Canary figure is the Best Damn Barbie ever made Period imo.
I am also quite fond of the new SuperGirl.

What,.. No Love/ Hate for the Brandon Routh Superman Barbie ?

& I was at Walmart the other Day....
Saw the OZ Witch of the West....
I must say, that is one stunning Figure,.. The Wink & Flying Monkey are Also very Neat pieces...

OK,.. I can't believe I am digging Barbie.

I got the Oz Witch TRU had it on sale one day and couldn't pass it up. I bought my wife the First WW Barbie. I have the Brandon Routh Superman doll

Now my daughter is addicted to Barbies just like her Grandmother was.

I didn't See the Collectors Edition of Catwoman one of the best versions mattel did

I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that there's Flintstones Barbies. Do I really want to see Ken as Fred or Barney or both?

Cool list! Cindy has several of these sets. They are usually quite well done. I'm glad she collects Barbies because I get to "own" them with none of the guilt.

But my Barbie-obsessed wife chimes in with these corrections:

Despite the public hoopla, Barbie has been seen in fishnets since the early 90s. First as a can-can (sp?) dancer, and several of the collector Silkstone dolls have fishnets.

Oh, and Barbie did DC first, with the original Barbie as WW back in 2000. Then they did the collector Catwoman doll mentioned earlier (exclusively through Diamond, if my memory is correct) and then the DC series that started with another WW, Batgirl (who also came with a Batcycle at TRU) and and T-shirt wearing Supergirl came before Mattel released Elektra, Invisible Woman and Mary Jane in similar packaging.

Not trying to be a jerk, just trying to clarify a few things.

I've got the Batgirl Barbie doll, and OY VEY! Did Mattel drop the ball!

The ears are floppy bits of fabric that come out of the helmet, which is secured to the head. That creepy smile does NOT belong on a Bat figure of any type, Man, Girl or Woman.

The outfit is okay, but the cape is too short, and the little mittens leave a lot to be desired.

All in all, I give it a 4.5 out of an overall 10.

I scene the New WW Barbie the Other Day,... Man was She Smoking !

[The Toyroom]

Big Lots had some of these Barbies for $15 a pop.....by the time I got there they only had Carol Burnett and the Lucy/Ethel Candy Factory 2 Pack (picked that one up) but according to the ad they had Black Canary and The Birds also.....
