The resurrection of two religiously themed Barbie dolls has caused some major controversy. Argentinian artists Emiliano Pool Paolini and Marianela Perelli
Mattel announced Friday that fans of Kate McKinnon's funky character from the hit Greta Gerwig-directed "Barbie" movie will soon be able to play with their own wacky doll.
The planned relaunch of religiously-themed Barbie dolls in Argentina, dubbed “Barbie Virgin Mary” and “Jesus Ken,” has sparked outrage globally, especially among Catholic groups in Buenos Aires, the birthplace of Pope Francis.
The figurines appeared in a toyshop in Luján, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, with images later shared on social media, after they were created by local artists Emiliano Pool Paolini and Marianela Perelli
