Hello Kitty is one of the most popular characters in Japan, Taiwan, and countries all over the world. Barbie is one of the world's most popular dolls. And now, they'll be teaming up.
Japanese toymaker Sanrio and American company Mattel will work together to make a new Barbie who will wear Hello Kitty clothes.
In the past, Barbie has worn brand name clothes from famous designers like Christian Dior and Givenchy.
Barbie will still have her blonde hair and will wear a short leather jacket, a shiny belt and black trousers.
The jacket, belt, bag and necklace will have a picture of Hello Kitty.
The 31cm tall doll will start selling in September in 10 different countries, including the US and Japan.
But the doll will not be easy to get. Only 1,500 dolls will go on sale in Japan for ¥5,040 (NT$1,366). Sanrio did not say how many dolls would be made worldwide.

凱蒂貓是日本、台灣與世界各地最受歡迎的卡通人物之一，芭比娃娃則是全球最討人喜歡的洋娃娃。現在她們倆聯手合作了。
日本玩具商三麗鷗與美國美泰兒公司將攜手合作，推出穿著凱蒂貓服飾的新款芭比娃娃。
芭比娃娃曾穿過克莉絲汀．迪奧與紀梵希等知名設計師品牌的服飾。
芭比娃娃仍會保留一貫的金髮，穿上短的皮夾克、閃亮皮帶與黑色長褲。
芭比的夾克、皮帶、包包與項鍊上都有凱蒂貓圖案。
高三十一公分的芭比九月將在美國與日本等十個國家上市。
不過這款芭比娃娃會很搶手。日本限量發行一千五百個，每個售價五千零四十日圓（新台幣一千三百六十六元）。至於全球共發行多少個，三麗鷗則尚未宣布。
