She teeters in gold stiletto heels, her golden gown slashed daringly high to reveal a mobile phone nestled against a creamy thigh. He is predictably dapper in a dark tux, briefcase – stuffed presumably with top secret documents – clutched firmly in a strong right hand. This is Ken and Barbie as they've never been seen before.
While the dinky duo have enjoyed a wide range of incarnations in the past, ranging from astronauts to vets, this is the first time they have taken on the role of super sleuth 007 and his latest Bond girl. They have been given the image to mark the 40th anniversary of the secret agent's screen debut.
"The James Bond 007 Ken doll and Barbie doll gift set pays tribute to the many memorable James Bond films and their famous characters over the last 40 years," says a spokesman for Mattel, the company producing the dolls.
The latest James Bond flick, Die Another Day, starring Pierce Brosnan and Halle Berry, goes on general release in both the UK and the US on November 22.
