The Destiny's Child split may prove as traumatic for Barbie makers Mattel as it is for Beyonce, who, as previously reported, broke down in tears on MTV recently when asked about it. The split announcement coincided with the toy manufacturers announcement that they have plans to launch dolls based on the three singers.
Too late to turn back though, as finishing touches were being made to the dolls when the news came of the split. The dolls will be available in America this summer, priced at $20. So call that an outlay of $60 for each parent of any Destiny's Child loving kiddie.
