Angel Reese has expanded her “Bayou Barbie” moniker into a retail reality, joining a select group of WNBA players with a dedicated Mattel doll. According to an Instagram announcement posted by the Atlanta Dream forward on Friday, July 24, the new collectible features a mini-version of Reese wearing an all-pink Dream uniform, complete with her signature leg sleeve, a pink headband, and the upcoming Angel Reese 1 Reeboks.
From College Moniker to Mattel Signature Doll
The nickname “Bayou Barbie” originated during Reese’s standout college career at Louisiana State University and followed her to the Chicago Sky before her move to Atlanta. Nathan Baynard, Vice President and Head of Barbie at Mattel, stated that the brand is honoring the athlete for her on-court achievements, entrepreneurial leadership, and tireless advocacy for children. The doll is priced at just under $38 and is currently available at Target, with additional online availability through Walmart, Amazon, and the Mattel Shop.
