If you thought Barbie-mania had been put to bed, think again as Mattel has just introduced a new model in the form of Hannah Waddingham.
The actress’ Ted Lasso character – no-nonsense football boss Rebecca Welton – has been transformed into a brand new Barbie doll.
The doll, which sells for £51, bears an uncanny resemblance to Hannah’s popular character, who is the owner of the fictional AFC Richmond.
The Barbie can be seen sporting the same chic champagne blouse as boss Rebecca does in the sitcom, with tailored pants and black pumps.
It comes after months of Barbie-mania following the release of the smash hit live-action movie, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, in July.

She’s a Barbie girl! The actress’ Ted Lasso character – no-nonsense football boss Rebecca Welton – has been transformed into a brand new Barbie doll
The film has pulled in more than $1billion and saw Greta Gerwig become the first solo female director to have a movie cross the billion-dollar threshold.
Hannah’s transformation is her latest success after soaring to global fame on Ted Lasso and hosting the Eurovision Song Contest alongside Graham Norton.
While Hannah recently wrapped a three-season run as Rebecca Welton, she has previously indicated that she was excited about the prospect of a spin-off focused on a Richmond women’s club, which Keeley pitched Rebecca in Ted Lasso’s finale.
On the big screen, Hannah appeared as a factory worker in Les Misérables and as Mother Witch in Hocus Pocus 2.
She has also been seen in episodes of Game of Thrones, Sex Education, My Family, and Benidorm.
And last week, Apple TV released a first-look photo and premiere date for the Hannah Waddingham: Home for Christmas special.
Set to air globally on November, 22, the Emmy-winning star will ring in the holidays and welcome special guests for a musical extravaganza at the London Coliseum.
The star, 49, looked incredible as she posed for a glitzy photoshoot in preparation for the festive period.
She donned a fabulous golden ball gown that fell into a fluted finish and looked sensational as she stretched out her arms, holding a golden microphone.

She finished her extravagant ensemble with a delicate gold bangle, dangly earrings and a sun-kissed tan.
The musical star styled her long blonde tresses in classy loose waves that trailed off her bare shoulders.
The musical star showed off her hourglass figure in front of a golden Christmas tree surrounded by giant baubles and wrapped presents.
She was snapped singing on a pedestal grinning from ear to ear.
The special was recorded live in front of an audience, and fans will be able to join Hannah in celebrating her favourite time of year in a month’s time as she performs festive classics accompanied by a spectacular big band.
