Angel Reese Barbie Signature Doll Expands Bayou Brand
Mattel unveiled an Angel Reese Barbie Signature doll modeled after the Atlanta Dream star, expanding the Bayou Barbie line beyond prior branding. The doll will be sold at Target, Walmart, Amazon, and Mattel Shop ahead of and during All-Star Weekend. A matching Reebok Angel Reese 1 sneaker is included, with packaging designed for display. Reese has celebrated the collaboration publicly and highlights its message that girls can achieve anything, while supporting her Angel C. Reese Foundation’s work on equity, sports access, and education. The launch coincides with Reese’s All-Star appearances and broader merchandising, branding, and philanthropy efforts, including gifting a doll to Kaavia Wade after a recent game. The project positions Reese as one of the few WNBA players to receive a Barbie doll, reinforcing her Bayou Barbie branding across merchandise and community outreach.
