User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Amazingly well executed Adult Collectible
Ignore the one-star rating below. This is for an Adult Collector, not the kids. This is a Black Label collectible which is described as “Sensational dolls designed for the adult collector”! On that level I concur with the rest of the 5 star ratings here. There are Barbies for kids and then there’s Barbie’s for the dads, like me, who love Hitchcock & camp & perfect execution which this piece nails. I plan to display it at Halloween time along with my 12″ Sideshow Horror figures: Frankenstein and Igor! 
4 Stars Delightful..but disturbing
Not really sure if this doll is what we’ve all been waiting for or a symptom of marketing gone berserk, but I’m glad I own it. Can’t imagine what they were thinking when they decided to run this one off the assembly line, though the other Barbie collectibles (especially the Cher doll in which she’s dressed like an Outer Space whore) are equally obtuse sometimes.
The doll looks…like Barbie, with Tippi Hedren’s hairstyle and costume. The most macabre detail is that she’s smiling, while the detachable crows are nesting in her hair and clothing. I wonder why Tippi wasn’t given a small phone booth as a setting, but the schoolhouse background covers the experience. Not really a quality, museum-piece item, but for sheer laughs and conversation, practically unbeatable.
Suggestions for future Barbies:
Barbie as Sissy Spacek in “Carrie”
Ken as Steve McQueen in “The Blob”
Ken as Gene Hackman in “The Poseidon Adventure”
Barbie as Jessica Lange in “Frances”
Barbie as Allison Hayes in “Fifty Foot Woman” (With Tiny Ken as Harry)
5 Stars This is awesome!!!!!
This is fantastic! I love Hitchcock AND Barbie! This is the perfect collectable for me. I hope they come out with more Hitchcock Barbies! Vertigo, Psycho, Marnie, Rear Window or Dial M for Murder…. who ever came up this is a genius!
Of course these are collectables…. adults will be the people interested in buying them.
5 Stars collector Hitchcock brother LOVES it!
It’s amazingly detailed, right down to her stylish outfit and Mona Lisa smile as the birds attack her…the only reason I have no durability rating is that my collector brother will never take it out of the box! Highly recommended. Piece of art.
4 Stars I can’t believe this doll exists
What on Earth would possess Mattel to make a doll out of a woman being attacked by birds? Whatever it was, I’m loving it!
“The Birds” is an iconic horror film and Barbie is an icon. I have lots of Barbies that I just collect because they are unique. I take them out of the box and let me nieces play with them. I’m not a strict or avid collector. BUT, this one stays in the box. The package designer did a great job in creating the mood. The toy designer did a great job with the costume & detail, although I think Tippy looked a lot more horrified than does Barbie. It’s a great collectible for pop culture fanatics. I hope they make more in this style.
