Barbie is going to celebrate her 50th birthday, to mark the occasion, the celebrated doll is going to be modeled on German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

The 54- year old German leader is considered the perfect model for Barbie and will be put on display at the international toy fair in Nuremberg . The toy is priced at 17 pounds and has a youthful look with thin waistline.

"She's simply a good role model for girls around the world," the Telegraph quoted a spokesman for Mattel, the company that makes Barbie dolls, as saying. However, Merkel has not yet commented on the doll that adorns a blonde bob hairstyle and a crisply tailored jacket, a typical Merkel style.
