The upcoming film adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time is a big deal for many reasons: 1) a diverse female-led cast helmed by director Ava DuVernay 2) OPRAH, 3) it was my favourite book as a child (and probably yours too).

As noted by Barbie’s website, the Mrs. W dolls are ‘For the adult collector,’ and while not yet available for purchase, they will retail at $50. Take a closer look at the Wrinkle in Time trio below.
