Mattel is producing a collector's series of dolls based on the characters in the "Mad Men" television show -- "a move," writes Paul Harris, "that would have the male
denizens of Sterling Cooper reaching for their whisky and cigarettes."
But Barbie's and Ken's new buddies won't, of course, be puffing or boozing. Nor, presumably,
will there be any other extracurricular shenanigans by the four dolls in the Barbie Fashion Model line: Don Draper, his wife, Betty, and colleagues Roger Sterling and Joan Holloway. Each will retail
as $74.95 starting this summer.
The New York Times' Stuart Elliott also covered the story.
