If you needed further proof that anything Ken can do, Barbie can do better, look no further than the toy aisle of Yodobashi Camera! Not only can Barbie legit attend cosplay conventions without showing her face, she’s got a choice of bunny, puppy or panda Furry costumes, so she and her friends can craft their own fursonas!
(And can I just call out the awesome level of research lavished on this play set? Furry animal shoes? Check. Street outfit with headband that gives a nod to the furry within? Check. Purple/red & silver hair Barbie to reflect IRL cosplayer vibe? Check, check, check!)
