Barbie has been President - or, at the very least, a Presidential candidate, numerous times over the years. Read on for her full electoral history...
2020
Barbie is going all out for the 2020 election with a four doll pack, representing Barbie as President, campaign manager, fundraiser, and a voter. It's nice to see a mix of skin tones and body types within the pack, and for all its thoroughly playline the clothing looks plenty versatile. And, to be honest, who doesn't think an inanimate lump of plastic couldn't do a better job than the guy actually in office at this point?
★ Campaign Team - box front / box back.
2016
This year's innovation was to see Barbie running for president and vice president in a suitably patriotic looking two pack.
★ #DPNO4 - box front / box back.
2012
This year Barbie did what she stereotypically does best... dressed head to toe in pink and called it a day!
2008
★ Caucasian Brunette - box front / box back.
★ Hispanic - box front / box back.
2004
Go Vote. Go Run. Go Lead. Go, Girl! So encouraged Barbie in her 2004 presidential campaign, ready for action in her stylish new pantsuit and neck scarf.
★ AA - box front / box back.
★ Hispanic - box front / box back.
2000
After taking a break in '96, Barbie was back on the campaign trail in 2000 packaged with placards and flyers, and a pair of fancy red shoes and matching ball gown to (presumably) represent how her policies might flip flop once she gained power...
★ Hispanic - box front / box back.
There were also Democratic National Convention dolls.
1996
No doll this year, but there was a 'cool career' president fashion pack.
1992
Barbie first embarked upon her presidential career in 1992 with a smart day suit and, er, flamboyant night look. She also came packaged with a campaign button for her new owner.
★ AA - box front / box back.
The USA is not the only nation to be convinced by Barbie's ticket. In 2013 Germany had an exclusive I Can Be... Chancellor doll, building on the one of a kind Angela Merkel Barbie which proved a hit at the 2009 Nuremberg toy fair.
★ Ich wäre gern... Kanzlerin - box front / box back.
★ Ich wäre gern... Kanzlerin - box front / box back.
Elsewhere we have to settle for the generic I Can Be... a Political Candidate doll.
