You knew this was coming, right?
Backlash! Horror! Panic!
Omigod! Barbie has tattoos!
Clearly, this is a disaster of biblical proportions.
Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
Let's look past the fact that this doll has a $50 price tag and is intended for collectors. Let's focus on the tattoos. (Which, in today's society, aren't really all that shocking any more, are they?)
But, hey, there's no such thing as bad press. I saw on BarbieCollector.com this morning that Tokidoki Barbie is sold out.

Tattoos? Pshaw! We Barbie Collectors KNEW that doll was gorgeous and acted accordingly. Sold out - way to go, Mattel. I mean in these days for a $50 doll to go like that.
