NWT. In Hand. Weird Barbie doll. Limited Edition and sold out. SUMMARY In the movie Barbie, Weird Barbie represents a version of the doll that has been modified and mishandled over time, and she becomes a source of humor and wisdom. Director Greta Gerwig wanted Weird Barbie to represent the fate of many Barbies that have been experimented on, with her appearance and behavior reflecting this. Weird Barbie, portrayed by Kate McKinnon, is seen as a shaman figure and the keeper of everyone's hidden weirdness, bringing an asymmetrical and messed up side to Barbie's perfect image.
