Angel Reese Receives Official Barbie Doll as Mattel Launches Collaboration
Mattel unveiled an Angel Reese Barbie Signature Doll ahead of the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game in Chicago. The collectible features a pink No. 5 jersey, a custom pink basketball, a headband, and Reebok‑inspired Angel Reese 1 sneakers. It is priced at $38 and sold through Target, Walmart, Amazon and the Mattel Shop.
Reese said the doll reflects her work both on the court and off it, noting it is meant to inspire girls to pursue their dreams. Mattel highlighted her impact beyond basketball through the Angel C. Reese Foundation, which supports equity for girls in sports, education and financial literacy.
During the All‑Star weekend, Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson unintentionally blocked Reese’s layup and later apologized publicly. Reese logged nine minutes in the game without scoring, a performance that drew mixed reactions on social media. The event also generated a viral moment when Reese joked about a VIP announcement that involved former President Barack Obama, further amplifying the weekend’s media coverage.
