The Mattel toy brand’s first collaboration with the rock legend was in 2023, with a doll inspired by Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 album.
Together, Barbie and Nicks pay homage to the 43rd anniversary of “Bella Donna,” the rock and roll legend’s debut solo album, capturing the iconic style and spirit of Nicks.
In October last year, Mattel and Nicks unveiled a Barbie doll modelled after the Fleetwood Mac and solo musician, which comes with a model stand, a black dress and platform boots inspired by the ‘Rumours’ cover and a replica of Nicks’ signature golden moon necklace along with a tambourine with red and black ribbons.
The initial run sold out instantly, and was priced at USD$55, with fans clamouring for a re-release.
On Monday (July 8), Nicks and Mattel announced a limited re-release, once again priced at $55. The item went on sale immediately, and is now sold out. It is currently unclear if the treasured item will be restocked again in the future.
The doll, in celebration of her 2023 headlining tour, went sold out in less tha 24 hours. Is inspired by Nicks' look on the 1977 Fleetwood Mac "Rumours" album cover: a long black dress with draped sleeves and black shoes.
The doll has Nicks’ recognizable bangs, wears a moon pendant and carries a tambourine with flowing ribbons — a “bewitching” look that emulates her “spellbinding style,” Mattel, the company that produces the dolls, said.
Stevie Nicks surprised fans who were in attendance at her show at New York’s Madison Square Garden lastyear with news that Mattel told her they would be creating an official Stevie Nicks Barbie.
Following her performance of “Bella Donna” she intimated with the audience,
“I have something very exciting to share with you a few hours before the rest of the world.” During her speech, she said that the toy maker approached her a year ago. “I was very overwhelmed. Will she be like me? Will she have my spirit? Will she have my heart?” The Barbie comes dressed in Nicks’ Rumours outfit, Rolling Stone reports.
She shared with those at MSG that she has had a Barbie made of her likeness on the road with her for the past three months.
“When I look at her I see my 27 year old self,” the singer said, adding that she also sees everything she’s been through since 1975. “I am her and she is me,” she said.
Nicks gave the Barbie to a person named Sara in the audience, which also prompted her to sing a few lines of her Fleetwood Mac song of the same name.
