Video Girl Barbie

The Video Girl Barbie, released by Mattel in 2010, was a real working video camera that could record up to 30 minutes of footage and even upload it to a computer. The doll had a hole in her upper body that featured the camera lens but was disguised as a fashionable pendant. Video Girl was discontinued when the FBI saw the doll’s hidden camera as a potential threat to children, citing that it could have been used for child pornography. Though no such incidents were ever reported, Mattel pulled it from shelves in 2012.
