Miami, FL – May 15, 2014 – Last night, Barbie fans came from all over to join world renowned artist Romero Britto to celebrate the launch of the new BRITTO Barbie doll at his Miami gallery. After painting a portrait of Barbie in 2006 he envisioned bringing his masterpiece to life and his aspirations have become a reality with this special edition Barbie doll. It only seemed fitting that the Brazilian artist would be chosen to represent his country with the fabulous barbie doll. With a football to kick around, this doll is ready to burst onto the scene and celebrate two of Brazil’s national treasures — football and Britto’s iconic pop art!

This has been an incredible experience, and incredible journey as well to be collaborating with Mattel, working on this iconic doll, Barbie, who I love.

When I was a kid, I used dream a lot. I think it’s so important to dream. That’s one thing that a toy should be able to do; inspire someone to dream about what they’re going to do.

For me it’s a dream come true. I know Barbie is super excited and I’m excited with her.
