London, UK- Mattel Creations, the design-driven platform and direct to consumer site for adult collectors from Mattel, Inc. that celebrates the intersection of pop culture, fandom and play, proudly makes its first-ever appearance at MCM London Comic Con today. Making an intergalactic debut, Mattel Creations is exclusively unveiling the new Barbie x Doctor Who dolls at the show and sharing Ncuti Gatwa's first reactions.
At MCM London Comic Con, Mattel Creations is bringing the fan community to life with immersive brand spaces, designer meet-and-greets, photo ops, gaming zones, and never-before-seen product reveals. Located at Stand #S1801, Mattel Creations is making an unforgettable entrance this weekend with fan-favourite brands including Barbie, Hot Wheels, Masters of the Universe and Monster High, continuing to build authentic connections with fans.
With costume inspired by series one that debuted in 2024, and sculpted in the character likenesses of Ncuti Gatwa, who stars as the Doctor, and Millie Gibson, who plays his first companion, Ruby Sunday, this fan-first reveal at MCM London Comic-Con marks a thrilling continuation of the Barbie brand's legacy in pop culture and storytelling.
In a special reaction video revealed today, Ncuti Gatwa shared his thoughts on seeing his Barbie doll for the first time 'Barbie is iconic, so to see a Barbie iteration of the Doctor was emotional, surreal, incredible and I can't wipe the smile off my face. I hope kids out there are able to enjoy the doll and see themselves in it and think 'I can do anything''.
These highly detailed Barbie dolls bring the Doctor and Ruby to life through signature styling and authentic detail. The Barbie Fifteenth Doctor Doll features a face sculpted in the likeness of Ncuti Gatwa. He wears an iconic look with a striped shirt, sleek pants, a long brown jacket and white sneakers. This design captures the bold, expressive energy of the Doctor.
The Barbie Ruby Sunday Doll, sculpted in the likeness of Millie Gibson, is dressed in a furry-trimmed jacket, red shirt, plaid skirt, black tights and boots. This ensemble reflects Ruby's style and spirit as the Doctor's first companion.
Also making a hauntingly good debut at MCM London is the latest drop from Monster High Skullector-Monster High's premium collector line featuring intricately detailed dolls inspired by beloved horror classics and legendary monsters from around the world, all brought to life in Monster High's iconic style. In partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, Monster High Skullector has released a tribute to the classic film The Lost Boys. This collector doll reimagines David, the undead biker gang leader, as a fierce fashion doll packed with fang-tastic film references.
The Monster High Skullector Lost Boys David Doll features cinematic styling, and a hauntingly handsome face sculpt. Accessories inspired by iconic movie moments include saxophone-themed heels, a vampire blood bottle, and a takeout-box-style purse filled with 'worms.' A must-have for horror fans and collectors alike, the doll is available May 24th exclusively on Mattel Creations.
