Mattel is releasing a collectible David Bowie Barbie doll dressed up as Ziggy Stardust to mark the 50th anniversary of the music legend’s Space Oddity. The doll will be wearing the outfit of the late singer’s “glam-rock alter ego”—a metallic jumpsuit, red platform boots, and the iconic red mullet. The dolls, which Mattel said will honor the “cultural legacy of the musical genius who redefined rock and roll,” will reportedly cost $50.
