Achtung Barbie!

She is tall, blonde and curvy, has cornflower blue eyes and implausible anatomical proportions. Meet German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, the Barbie doll.
As part of a series to celebrate the toy's 50th birthday, manufacturer Mattel has brought out a version modelled on the German chancellor. The doll wears the politician's tailored trouser suit and her trademark blonde bob, but the resemblance ends there: its tiny waistline is more Heidi Klum than Angela Merkel and its smiling face is free of the worry lines produced when you are trying to fight economic crisis in Europe's largest economy.
The doll was unveiled at the 60th international toy fair in Nuremberg, Germany.
