Horrorpops vs Barbie

Horror Pops singer Patricia Day is suing Mattel over her claims that they’ve used her image without consent for their new Hard Rock Barbie.

The Danish singer claims that they have appropriated her likeness of “long black hair, retro tattoos, red fingernails, fishnets and a decorated bass fiddle to give this doll true rockabilly style.”

She filed the lawsuit last week in Indiana District Court, saying that the toy company got licenses from Debbie Harry, Joan Jett and Cyndi Lauper for their other dolls in the collection, but didn’t get her permission for their Hard Rock Barbie.
If it weren’t for the bass fiddle, I would say that they could’ve used anyone for their portrayal of their Hard Rock Barbie. But, because there is that added accessory, she may just have a case.
Someone’s gonna be gettin’ paid! What do you think?
