Aaliyah’s Barbie doll is sold out on the day that would have been her 46th birthday

Barbie’s Barbie model was sold out on the day that Aaliyah would have turned 46.

In 2001, the singer of “More Than A Woman” was killed in a plane tragedy at the age of 22. On Thursday, Mattel released a variation of the iconic figurine that bears her likeness.

According to Forbes, Rashad Haughton, Aaliyah’s brother, who collaborated with Mattel on the doll, stated, “It takes a significant amount of time to ensure that all aspects are accurate, to conduct samples, and to obtain the sculpts.” In addition, it is remarkable; however, it is an exceedingly laborious endeavor.

“As time progressed, we began to comprehend that this would inevitably occur, and the timing would be impeccable.” I suggest that we select my sister’s birthday.

The figure was intended to be available for purchase through the brand’s Music Series for $55 each, with a limit of one per customer. However, it was sold out almost immediately after it was advertised.

Mattel’s latest Music Series doll give tribute to the legendary American R&B vocalist, actress, and model, Aaliyah, who was known by the nickname “Babygirl,” in honor of her birthday. ’90s R B was significantly influenced by Aaliyah’s innovative sound and silky vocals, and her impact on music and fashion is still evident today. Our homage to the life and music of Babygirls will elevate any collection to the summit of the rankings.

Aaliyah was signed to her first record contract at the age of 12 and issued her debut album, “Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number,” three years later in 1994. She ultimately sold 20 to 30 million records worldwide.

Her final album, “Aaliyah,” was released in 2001, and it was preceded by “One in a Million” in 1996.

Aaliyah and her retinue desired to return to the United States as soon as the production of the music video for “Rock the Boat” in the Bahamas concluded early on August 25, 2001.

The group continued with their travel plans despite the pilot’s warnings that the aircraft they were assigned was smaller than the one they had previously travelled in. The pilot had stated that there was an excessive amount of equipment on board, which could be hazardous to the air.

Aaliyah and the eight other passengers, including the pilot, perished instantaneously in the plane’s accident shortly after takeoff.
