The Rockers Barbie 40th Anniversary doll, released in 2026, celebrates the original 1986 doll, which was designed to tap into the era’s fascination with rock music and bold fashion. The dolls were styled as a pop-rock band, with Barbie as the lead singer. The line included her friends—Dee Dee, Dana, Diva, and Derek, each with their own musical persona and instrument. The dolls were accompanied by cassette tapes and later a VHS movie, “Barbie and the Rockers: Out of This World,” which showcased Barbie and her band on a musical adventure.
