The name “Barbie” seems to have been on everyone's lips since the hit movie debuted in theaters in the summer of 2023.

The dolls, however, have been around since 1959 and now the brand has announced a new line for its Race of the Year collection.

This year, the Mattel brand toy will have four new dolls focused on women in cinema.

The four new Barbie dolls represent four different film careers: studio executive, director, cinematographer and movie star.

The idea came after Greta Gerwig's hit movie “Barbie,” which made Gerwig the first female director in history with a billion-dollar movie, according to the brand.

The dolls, which are currently available online at the Mattel Shop for $49.99, are part of Barbie's Race of the Year collection, which began in 2010.

“Barbie continues to take on culturally relevant and aspirational roles in fields where women are underrepresented.”

Some of the other topics included the architect in 2011, a Mars explorer in 2013, the judge in 2019, a presidential campaign team in 2020, and the green leadership team in 2022, among others.
