🕹️ A Tale of Two Barbies 🎮️ We're excited to announce our latest Star Objects featuring the iconic Barbie 💗 Originally launched in 1959 by the US toy company Mattel, Barbie has had a number of jobs over the years. Featured in our collection together for the first time is 2010's Computer Engineer Barbie and the more recent Game Developer Barbie from 2016. Whilst the Game Developer Barbie has been a part of our collection since our beginnings, the Computer Engineer Barbie only recently debuted during our Level Up Pop-Up tour - those who came to see us will have been the first to see this rare item we recently acquired! Barbie has been a house hold name for over 60 years and her popularity is as high as it's ever been with the hotly anticipated Barbie movie due to be released in three weeks time 🎬️ Find out more ⬇ https://thenvm.org/objects/computer-engineer-game-developer-barbie/ ❓ Did you know ❓ Since her debut on the Commodore 64 in 1984, Barbie has starred in over 50 videogames - everything from fashion designing to sports!
