USPS releasing 10 new Barbie stamps this summer

The U.S. Postal Service will release 10 new Barbie stamps this summer.

The federal agency announced Friday the new stamp set will feature the iconic Barbie doll dressed in 10 outfits depicting different occupations, including an astronaut, music star, paleontologist, sign language teacher, soccer player and surgeon.

The USPS notes the Barbie stamps will feature "a rarely used format," where they are "a third taller than the usual vertical commemorative stamp."

The Barbie stamps will also be "Forever" stamps, meaning they will be equal to the value of the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce price, which is currently set to $0.78 each.

Ethel Kessler, a USPS art director, collaborated with Mattel, Inc. on the new stamps and said in a statement that the team tackled the new stamp project "with a spirit of fun," and made sure to incorporate the famous "Barbie Pink" color to convey joy.
