Four new Barbie figures join the POP! Retro Toys range in September 2026, all now open for pre-order. Three of them form a matching set taken from Barbie in the Nutcracker, with two versions of the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Prince Eric. The fourth goes in a completely different direction and looks back to the doll's early days, in a glitter version.

Funko POP Barbie: the new figures up for pre-order (September 2026)

The Barbie in the Nutcracker wave

Blonde Sugar Plum Fairy Barbie (#173)

The Sugar Plum Fairy in her stage outfit: a gold tiara set with green and pink pearls, a pale bodice and a layered bright pink tutu, with her legs bent in a dance pose. This first version has long, wavy blonde hair. The icy blue box background, shared by all three figures from the story, makes the set easy to spot on the shelf.

Brunette Sugar Plum Fairy Barbie (#174)

Same costume, same pose, but a different doll: this second Sugar Plum Fairy has darker skin and curly brown hair. The two references are therefore two separate figures and not a duplicate, which is worth knowing when ordering. Collectors who want the full pair will need both.

Prince Eric (#175)

The partner of the two previous figures completes the section: a tall gold crown, a red jacket with gold frogging in classic nutcracker style, white trousers and blue boots. He is needed to complete the scene, and there is also a Chase variant of this figure.

Barbie Solo in the Spotlight (#177)

A complete change of mood with this Barbie on stage, holding a microphone on a stand. Funko uses the Solo in the Spotlight outfit here: a long black sheath dress, a pink scarf and blonde hair worn up. The figure carries the Glitter label, with a sparkly finish that catches the light, and it is also larger than usual, at about 4.7 in (12 cm) instead of the usual 3.9 in (10 cm). Its red box background links it directly to the classic Retro Toys line.

These four Barbie figures are available to pre-order for September 2026.
