Sold Out!

   She's RCMP Barbie, and all 300 of the dolls have sold out, including 100 shipped to the RCMP Heritage Centre in Regina. The RCMP's official retailer, the Mountie Shop, says more of the $29.99 dolls are on order, but it will take a while to get them into stock, if at all. Manufacturer Mattel says 11 thousand of them were made, and there are no plans to put them back in production. They were part of the company's "Dolls of the World" collection
   The RCMP themselves are admittedly a little taken back by the popularity of what was to have been a limited edition Barbie, who is dressed in the familiar Red Serge, Brown Stetson and Strathcona boots. And the actual name is Canadian Barbie.
   The strange part of this is the doll actually hit the shelves back in May, and it wasn't until the RCMP Heritage Centre put out a tweet Monday that sales took off.
   And in case you were wondering, there's one item on the Canadian Barbie that wouldn't pass muster. Her long hair would normally be pulled into a bun.
