Yup... you read that title right... The cast of
Mad Men is going to be getting the "Barbie Treatment".
Mad Men characters Don and Betty Draper, Roger Sterling and Joan Holloway will be the latest screen stars to be turned into plastic now that Mattel has purchased the licensing rights to design a collection of Barbie & Ken dolls patterned after series.
They will be fashionable... they will be fun... each doll will be styled in iconic 1960’s costumes and come with some fun accessories that suit the character. On Tuesday March 23rd the season three DVD box set hit the shelves and will include exclusive collectible sketches of the dolls and then the actual collectible dolls will go on sale this summer for around $75.00 at select retailers and at
BarbieCollector.com — just in time for the fourth season of the critically-acclaimed cable series.
What do you think? Are you a
Mad Men fan? Would you actually buy one?

It must be sooooo cool to be Jon Hamm right now. Haha! Yes, it was his character and not him which was made into a doll, although they used his face and body. So, in a way, he also got immortalized. Gosh, the show makes it so cool to have lived in the 60's!
