Mattel seems to have jumped on the pop culture wagon with these Classic TV Barbies. Bringing these icons back to life (at least in doll form), they are paying tribute to a retro era in television history.
Sold for only $34.99 each, the Classic TV Barbies will be available in time for Christmas. They feature the female stars from 'I Dream Of Jeannie,' 'Bewitched,' 'Beverly Hillbillies’ and 'Dynasty.' Talk about a blast from the past!
