If you’re looking for a holiday gift for the Barbie lovers in your life, consider adding this special edition Juan Gabriel-inspired doll to your collection. This signature Barbie doll is a great way to honor the legendary Mexican singer-songwriter and actor Juan Gabriel.
The doll commemorates the six-time Grammy nominee’s nearly four-decade career, which includes the release of more than 30 studio albums and 1,500 composed songs, highlighting his influence as one of Latin America’s most significant musical figures. Juan Gabriel’s greatest hits, known for their heartfelt ballad style, include “No Tengo Dinero,” “Abrázame Muy Fuerte,” “Amor Eterno” and “Siempre En Mi Mente.”
To honor the singer’s music and career, the Barbie Signature Juan Gabriel Doll ($55.99) dazzles with a mic in her hand and a glittering bolero jacket, drawing inspiration from the outfit he wore during his iconic 1990 performance at Mexico City’s El Palacio de Bellas Artes. Juan Gabriel expressed his love and appreciation for his Mexican culture not just through his music, but also through his attire, often wearing mariachi suits with gold accents onstage — just like the Barbie’s outfit.
For those inspired by his legacy, the doll serves as a collaboration that pays tribute to the extraordinary artistry of this beloved music icon.
Fans love the doll and its exquisite details, from the vibrant outfit to the accessories, capturing the essence of Juan Gabriel. One Amazon customer said, “She’s an amazing, beautiful doll that’s a tribute to the legendary Latino singer … would be a wonderful addition to any doll collectors collection.”
Mattel’s Signature Doll inspired by Juan Gabriel is available at Amazon, Walmart, Target and Mattel Shop.
