Why it would be awesome to have a MOTUC Barbie and Ken?

It totally would. What's more Mattel than Barbie? We already have MOTU Hot Wheels. A Cross Promotion between Barbie and MOTU lines would be stupid-awesome. Why hasn't Mattel done it? No idea... Sure, they've made X-Files Barbies, DC Barbies, Speed Racer Barbies, Twilight Barbies... There's some 60s Batman Barbies coming... Yes, there's going to be an Adam West Bat Doll that can hang out in Barbie's Dreamhouse... Still we have no MOTU Barbies...

Sure Mattel did a Polly Pocket/She-Ra Crossover... But Polly Pocket ain't Barbie... When you say Mattel, everyone WILL think of Barbie or Hot Wheels... MOTU may be a distant third competing with Big Jim (depends on the age of the person asked...) So, in order to promote MOTU Classics to a different set of collectors, it WOULD be cool to have a Barbie and friends Special Halloween sub line of them disguised as MOTU and POP characters.

Have Barbie as She-Ra, Blaine as He-Man, Ken as Bow, Midge as Castaspella, Stacey as Glimmer, Teresa as Catra, Allan as The Mighty Spector, etc. But that's up to the Barbie Team to figure out...
It brings some awareness back to He-Man and She-Ra and gives the Barbie Collectors another set of Barbies to get.
On the other hand, I'd be more interested in an obvious novelty item. Like the title says: a Masters of the Universe Classics Barbie and Ken.


He-Man's cameo here has nothing to do with me wanting a MOTUC Barbie and a Super Buff Ken... Yes, this is the perfect novelty item for a convention. Barbie Folks may be curious about it and MOTUC Collectors could use them as is and in worst case scenario use them as Custom figure bases.
Seriously, If we can have Cowboys with lasers popping out of his body, Demon-ninja, Firefighting robo-elephants, Having Barbie and Ken as characters isn't THAT Far-Fetched... Sure some people (most of them) would scoff at this crazy idea, which a small group of people has mentioned every now and then. I know that this is kinda shoe-horning Barbie and Ken into MOTUC, but we HAVE Mo-Larr, Sir-Laser-Lot, and Spector IN MOTUC already. So having this two pack as an almost self-contained thing could work. Have Barbie as A Former Sorceress of Grayskull. It's been about 5000 years between the First Sorceress (Queen Veena) to the current Sorceress (Teela-Na). There's Plenty of Room there to have a bunch of Past Sorceresses and a Personal Guardian (we need to have some way to toss Ken in...)
Sure, they could go 2 ways with Barbie if she's a Sorceress:
a) the Lazy way and Make a Pink Sorceress with 2 new heads (one with the Sorceress Headdress and Barbie's face on it and a second Full Barbie head with her hair loose.)
b)Use an Unreleased Sorceress Concept or an alternate version of Teela-Na (like NA or 200X Sorceress) with a second Full Barbie head... Unlike Method A this one may require new tooling.
c)the Challenging way and make a Barbie that is her own character but with hints towards the Sorceress Heritage. (orange, White and blue elements added to the look)

Ken would be easy... Mixing and matching Male pieces to make a brand new character is more doable with a male buck. (adding Ken's head and any other new pieces if needed.)

Personally, I'd use the 200X Sorceress as the Body for Sorceress Barbie with a second Barbie Head without the Sorceress Headdress. (Real Name: Barbara Millicent of the House of Dreams) It helps 200X fans to get their Sorceress and it gives people an incentive to buy this set. (200X colors for Matty and Classic Sorceress colors for San Diego... assuming the Barbie 2 pack is made as an Exclusive for SDCC)

Like I said before: Ken is easy. If you want to make a knight out of him then:
Man-e-Faces Shoulders, Trap Jaw Biceps, Bow Forearms and NA He-Man hands are a start for an armored look.
If they wanna go for a more "barbarian" look then they need the Vykron Forearms for him... (So the modular Vykron stuff can be used on him as well... works as a nod to Ken)

Personally I hope that if Ken is made into a MOTUC, that they go with the more knightly look. That way he could have a second head with a full knight helm and be used as a Preternian KG knight. Thus making the set still be appealing for those who'd normally scoff at a MOTUC Barbie and Ken.
