The Barbie brand is set to release a new Colour Change Mermaid that transforms under both hot and cold water and comes complete with stylish accessories.

Barbie has added new products to its Fantasy segment with the new Barbie Colour Change Mermaid doll. Designed with beautiful detail from head to fin, the Barbie Malibu doll has 7.5-inch-long pink hair that kids can brush out and style for endless fun.

Kids can witness the colour transformation when the Barbie Colour Change Mermaid doll is dipped into icy cold water, which turns her hair, bodice and tail to a purple colour. When dipped in warm water, they will see her change back to her original bubblegum pink look.

The doll comes packed with accessories including a headband, choker and a floral necklace designed to style her before playing out adventures with her mini dolphin friend.

This follows the launch of the Mini BarbieLand range which was announced at Spielwarenmesse last month and introduces the brand’s most iconic dolls, vehicles and play sets in a much smaller version.

It has also been announced that the new Barbie Touch of Magic series is also set to be released on the free-to-air children’s television channel Pop, to bring viewers more magical moments which they’ll be able to enjoy.
