The American company on manufacture of toys and video plays Mattel has released alternative of a doll of Barbie, representing the federal chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel, informs Der Spiegel.
The doll has been presented at 60th annual fair of toys in Nuremberg.
For a doll founders have borrowed Angela Merkel's some characteristic features: a hair colour and a hairstyle, a black business suit and a pink vest. However, in the rest, the design of standard alternative of Barbie has not undergone the changes, therefore many visitors of fair could not learn in a doll of the German chancellor.
In 2005 the German producer of toys Schildroet also has released a doll representing Angela Merkel. The toy was on sale for 225 dollars.
