Barbie announces 2nd doll in Dia De Muertos collection

Reminiscent of last year's Dia De Muertos-inspired doll, this year's edition also honors the Dia de Los Muerto holiday also knows as "Day of the Dead" which is celebrated in the United States from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2. During this time, prayer and remembrance of friends and family members who have died are commemorated.

After last year's instant fandom, Barbie is back with a second Dia De Muertos collectibles doll. The release of the toy maker's Signature Dia De Muertos 2020 Doll (GNC40) was announced on Wednesday, and it takes on a different look featuring a braided up-do, a captivating Calavera face design and a blush-colored lace dress embellished with tiny pearl details. The fabulous frock also slightly opens to reveal a second layer of embroidered floral and skeleton accents. There's also a doll stand included upon purchase that includes a Certificate of Authenticity.

Barbie lovers can buy the doll for $75 on the company's website or at mass retailers such as Amazon, Target and Walmart. This year's doll was designed by Mexican American designer Javier Meabe who was inspired by his personal background and family traditions.
