One mum has bought a set discounted by £70 and squirrelling it away until Christmas for her daughter.

The set includes a pink car and a wardrobe so Barbie and Ken can go on amazing adventures together.

The price for the set, which is sure to excite any Barbie-loving child, has been slashed from £119.99 to £49.99 on the company’s website.

Mum Kelly said: “Ordered this for my daughter for Christmas and I can tell you she’s going to be extremely happy!

“I mean the box it’s come in is absolutely huge!

“I thought this was a massive bargain.”

Maqio describes the set saying Barbie and Ken are “always on the go, with a closet and convertible, they can move in minutes.”

They say: “Open the translucent doors of the pink closet to discover storage space and an extendable garment rack with two hangers.

“Plus, the handle on top makes it easy to take on the go!

“Barbie and Ken dolls wear trendy outfits for versatile storytelling so kids can hit the road right away.”


The wheels roll and the seat belts even keep the dolls in place in the two seater convertible.

The sale comes a couple of months after the first blind ­Barbie was unveiled — complete with a white and red cane, sunglasses and ­tactile clothing.

Makers Mattel were advised by the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) to ensure the doll’s design was “authentic”.

The charity says her up-and-out facing eyes “reflect the sometimes-distinct eye gaze of a blind individual” and the cane has an identifiable marshmallow tip.

I’m a Barbie expert – the 10 most valuable dolls worth up to £8,000, exact features to look for

THE Barbie movie reignited a love for the famous doll – but are your old toys collecting dust in the attic worth a fortune?

The film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling hit theatres last year.

Old Barbies can command high prices for collectors. So how do you know if you’re sitting on a goldmine?

“Barbie dolls that are part of limited edition or special edition collections tend to have a high value,” doll and toy expert Simon Farnworth told The Sun.

He’s been collecting Barbies since the late 90s and runs Simon’s Collectibles (dollstoysngifts.co.uk), an online shop for adult toy and doll collectors.

Simon added: “These dolls often feature unique designs, are collaborations with celebrities, or commemorate significant events – for example, the 2019 Gold label Ziggy Stardust themed David Bowie Barbie, which originally sold for around £50, can command over £300 now.”

Barbie collaborations with renowned fashion designers and brands – such as Christian DiorVersace, or Vera Wang – are also highly sought after by collectors.

“A recent example of this is the recent collaboration between Barbie and artist Mark Ryden, released exclusively on the Barbie Creations website last year,” he said.

“The Pink Pop Barbie Mark Ryden x Barbie Doll has already doubled in value.”

Vintage Barbie dolls – made between 1959 and 1972 – can fetch eye-watering prices.

Mattel said it was doing its part 'to ensure kids can inherit a world that’s full of potential'
