In the new fantastic underwater adventure Barbie and the Pearl Princess, Barbie stars as a beautiful mermaid princess with a magical power over pearls. A kind and creative soul, she uses it to style fabulous hair for her friends and clients at the mermaid salon. On an exciting journey to the Mermaid Kingdom, she experiences a dramatic transformation into a true princess when she attends the royal ball under the sea. Barbie and The Pearl Princess 2-in-1 Mermaid doll celebrates her transformation from a mermaid hairstylist to a mermaid princess (who still likes to style hair!).

This gorgeous mermaid enchants in a pink bandeau top with faux pearl trim, straps, and accent. Her shimmery blue tail has a scaled design, a pretty blue fin, and a soft blue sash at the waist. Chains of beads drape her neck, among which is the transformation mechanism. Simply push the big white “pearl” on her necklace to reveal the mermaid princess hidden inside. The tail flips open becoming the soft train of a captivating look perfect for a new royal.

Barbie doll will be the belle of the mermaid ball in this look with beaded accents on the scaled ombre tail and a diamond-like “gem” on one hip. The color fades from pink to purple to a golden yellow that stands out against the sheer purple and iridescent pink fabric that makes up the train. When it’s time to swim home, fold the skirt into the open tail and close to start a new story. Girls will love reliving the transformation over and over again.

For even more magical fun, use ice cold water to effect color change in her hair. Apply cold water to see pink streaks appear; use warm water to return to blonde. A comb hidden in her fins is perfect for styling her long wavy locks (simply pull comb out and slide back in), and a pink tiara with a seashell design is the perfect mermaid princess touch.
