Mattel have done a number of superhero Barbie dolls over the years, but one of the ones that is most interesting to me is the 2006 Superman Returns Lois Lane.
She came with a poster for the film and naturally there was a matching Ken Superman doll released as part of the same set. He also came with a poster, though it was a different poster.
None of that however is what I personally find interesting about the Lois Lane Barbie.
Much like actress Kate Bosworth, the Lois Lane Barbie has heterochromia - specifically, her right eye contains both blue and brown pigment, while her left eye is only blue.
This makes this Barbie relatively unique from a design perspective!
Did you know the Internet Archive has some scans of DollyDolly and associated publications?
and a few DollyBird scans, too
Tik Tok I made showing the scrunchie shirt!

I posted this in the Granado themed thread on Den of Angels, and I thought I’d add it here too for those who’d like an insight on how I built the “Treasure Room” for this year’s @doll-granado photo contest. Maybe those tricks can help you build your own bjd space for immersive photos: The room I built can be taken down to pieces; Most of it is made of cheap foamcore sheets. - So you have the walls, which are two separate pannels of 5 black foamcore sheets glued together with hot glue. In the photoshoot I simply covered them with fabric to simulate a tapestry. - Then I built two different set of shelves in black foamcore, (foamcore and hot glue are really easy to work with and aren’t expensive.) Those two pieces are the most difficult to store afterward, but depending on what you make as furniture, you can use them to store your own stuff - The practical part of using foamcore is that you can pin stuff in it. This is how I made those little picture frame stick to the wall, the mirror, the unicorn tapestry and the curtain. When you’re done with your shooting, or if you need the space, just unpin everything and put them away. So you have a base set made of foamcore, and by changing the fabric on the wall and the deco around it, you can morph it into many different room design. Now let’s add a Granado face to this post: Funny fact: The two artwork on the right are actual paintings that were stolen and NEVER RECOVERED to this date “Poppy Flowers” by Vincent van Gogh, and “The Concert” by Johannes Vermeer Guess who’s the guilty party? hehehe
In 2004, Mattel produced a Silver Label collectors edition Barbie as Titania from A Midsummer Night's Dream - specifically the ballet, rather than the Shakespeare play.
Barbie's traditionally pointed toes to fit into a variety of high heels are even more sharply on display here, as Titania is portrayed as being en pointe in her ballet shoes.
This particular doll was also released as a Hallmark ornament. Note that this is not another version of Titania - this is specifically Barbie as Titania.
This same series featured Barbie as Juliet from Romeo and Juliet - again, the ballet.
This is specifically as distinct from the other tie-in Barbie for Romeo and Juliet, which features both a Barbie and a Ken.
I couldn't find a clear answer on how many Titania or Juliet ballet Barbies were released, but as Silver Label collectors items, the number would have been capped at no more than 50,000.
