Mattel Is Turning BTS Into Dolls, And Army Twitter Is Shookt
Welp, there go our savings.
K-pop juggernaut BTS's members are so cute that we'd love to take them home. Pretty soon, you might just be able to. Mattel just announced via Twitter that they're partnering with BigHit to create official BTS dolls, and as expected, the internet has gone crazy over the BTS x Mattel news.

According to Mattel, these dolls won't be Barbie or Ken dolls, but an entirely new line.
They're not Barbie or Ken dolls -- these are a new line of Mattel dolls! Stay tuned for more info.

7. The boys are basically Ken dolls already, so this should be easy for Mattel.
