RED Roses England rugby star Ellie Kildunne is set to have her own Barbie doll.
This week, The Sun reports that Mattel will unveil the doll, marking the first time the company has introduced a rugby-themed Barbie.
Ellie Kildunne’s new doll will showcase a redesigned Barbie body that features a more athletic torso, with clearly defined arms, legs, and back muscles. This release follows the brand's introduction of a careers line that included various sporty dolls, such as a gymnast Barbie and a player Barbie.
The new doll will highlight a fresh Barbie physique, emphasizing an athletic build with noticeable muscle definition.
A source remarked, “This is a significant moment for women’s sports.
“The Red Roses represent strong and inspiring role models, and these new Barbies embody that with their athletic forms and muscle definition – a stark contrast to the unrealistic hourglass figures of past Barbies.”
Ellie expressed, “We are demonstrating to the next generation of girls that they can achieve anything, that being strong and fast is empowering, and that boundaries can be broken.
“I thought nothing could compare to the exhilaration of lifting that trophy, but having my own unique Barbie doll is a very close second!
“She resembles me perfectly, right down to her curls, her custom boots, and her Red Roses Barbie ball.
“Now, I just need to teach her how to lasso and see if she can score a few tries!”
In front of a world record crowd of nearly 82,000, John Mitchell’s team demonstrated why they have now achieved 33 consecutive victories since their heartbreaking loss in Auckland four years ago.
