Well if you thought that Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto looked a little too effeminate in some of the marketing material for the upcoming Star Trek movie, you’re definitely going to love this! In a few months, Mattel will be releasing a line of Barbie dolls based on characters from the film, including Kirk, Spock and the lone female crew member, Uhura. The figures are standard Barbie size at 12″ tall, and include phaser and communicator accessories plus some snazzy Federation uniforms. No word yet on whether they will also be releasing any hot pink sports cars or hair salon playsets to go with them.

Something tells me they are aiming at the wrong demographic with these, but then again, I suppose one of the challenges for J.J. Abrams is to make this new movie appeal to women too. The Star Trek Barbie toys will hit stores on April 20th for a suggested retail price of $43.19, and will be available at Walmart and Entertainment Earth (among other retailers). I think we all know at least one person who will be buying them!
