If you have a young daughter and you want to keep her away from motorcycles when she’s older (or more likely the men that ride them) then look away now.
Yes folks, Barbie and Ken are getting serious makeover to keep them up-to-date for 2010 – the new Harley-Davidson endorsed couple now come complete with biker gear, tattoos and even piercings!
It makes you wonder what Mattel, the company behind the plastic duo, has next in the pipeline.
Maybe they’ll have a model of Sydney airport, where Ken can kick and his mates can kick the crap out of rival bike gang members?
I think Mattel might have trouble marketing them in SA and NSW with their new, anti-gang laws. And if more than a few of them get together in the store, for example, the shop could easily be raided under the new laws as well.

Mmm, must be something in this. My daughter, who is in her mid THIRTIES still has her Barbie collection, though I don’t think she’ll be adding to it now.
