Mattel has released a limited edition “ignorant” American doll outfit.
Hot Wheels are still popular toys and can become valuable collectibles
The scale model car brand introduced by Mattel in 1968 is still a popular toy among children and is now collectable among many adults.
Mattel is “totally bagin” with a new line of “ignorant” Barbie dolls to celebrate the 30th anniversary of this summer’s film.
Mattel launched Cher and Dionne Barbie dolls last week. I got an iconic plaid skirt and blazer, a ’90 phone, an antenna and more. The Barbie doll is just two of the “ignorant” anniversary Mattel’s new collector toys, including the American Girl Doll costume, Polly Pocket Compact and UNO deck.
Released on July 19, 1995, “Clueless” follows Cher (Alicia Silverstone) and Dionne (Stacey Dash), shallow and socially successful teenagers at Beverley Hills High School. Seeing herself as a matchmaker, Cher is stunned when she tries to give her new girl, Ty (Brittany Murphy) a transformation when she becomes more popular than her. But under all the suspension and plaid, Cher struggles to find her own perfect boyfriend. It may be seen in her former step brother Josh (Paul Rudd).
As Saturday’s anniversary approaches, there’s something you need to know about Mattel’s limited edition “ignorance” collection.
