We've seen celebrity dolls used as narcisstic promotional tools, but it's not often we see memorabilia that accentuates a star's less appealing attributes. This Amy Winehouse Barbie has a lot of similarity with the real UK crooner, complete with black, messy beehive hair style, tattoos and dramatically winged eye liner which has been smudged by her tears.
The images were sent in by a Popjustice viewer that wrote, "I made an AMY WINEHOUSE BARBIE for my boyfriend. What do you reckon?"
Don't know what they thought, but I reckon it's frickin' awesome!
