A new Stanley collaboration is ready to drop. The Barbie Icon Quencher, from the Barbie x Stanley Quencher Collection, arrived on Monday (Sept. 16) at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT, and it’s perfectly pink for the ultimate Barbie fan.
Leading the nostalgic collection, the pink Barbie Icon Quencher is available as a 30- and 40-ounce Quencher. The limited release will only be available for purchase today, but other tumblers from the collection will be released throughout the week.
The full collection, featuring eight Barbie Quenchers, the collection celebrates Barbie’s 65th anniversary with bold pops of color, glitter, glam and sparkles spotlighting the doll’s iconic fashions over the years — and there’s even a nod to Ken, dropped on Sept. 10.
In honor of the doll that started it all, the 1959 Quencher has a chevron print inspired by the original Barbie (and her black and white vintage swimsuit). The cup also incorporates “pool blue” and hot pink accents to represent Barbie’s cat-eye sunglasses.
The ’60s Twist ’N Turn Quencher blends gradient sorbet and vibrant tangerine, while the ’70s Superstar has dazzling stars echoing the celestial-shaped stand from the Superstar Barbie doll.
Representing the ’80s are Peaches ’N Cream, Rockers, Dynamite and a Western Ken 40-ounce Quencher. Each cup in the ’80s collection takes inspiration from a Barbie (and Ken) from the decade.
The Dynamite Quencher, named after Mattel’s first Black Barbie, pays homage to the doll by way of a pink tumbler with gold accents. Inspired by Barbie and the Rockers, The Rocker Quencher is a black cup with blue, pink and purple stars, and retro graphics.
The Western Ken Quencher has a midnight black, paisley-style print that mimics the contrast stitching and silver buckle of the Western Ken doll.
The complete Barbie x Stanley collection retails for $480. The collection sold out, although you may be able to find it on resale sites such as StockX. Individual Barbie Quenchers will also be sold separately for $50-$60.
“In celebration of Barbie’s 65th anniversary, Barbie and Stanley are coming together to honor decades of empowerment and limitless possibilities with a collaboration between two legendary brands that have revolutionized culture,” said Matt Navarro, Stanley’s global brand president. “The blending of the coveted Quencher with the timelessness of Barbie brings our communities together with a product that delivers on all the things consumers love about both brands – feelings of nostalgia, friendship, design and style. We’re proud to encourage exploration and self-expression among those who will delight in our eight new Barbie x Stanley Quenchers, each representing an unforgettable Barbie era conveyed through a Stanley Quencher.”
“Barbie and Stanley have long defied the average toy and drinkware categories respectively, establishing themselves as cultural icons with timeless allure. As we celebrate Barbie’s 65th anniversary, we are thrilled to unite these two iconic brands to create a fashion-forward collection of Quenchers that marries decades of Barbie’s signature fashions with Stanley’s unparalleled commitment to quality. This collaboration not only honors Barbie’s rich heritage but also inspires our fans to embrace their unique style with every sip,” said Meredith Norrie, Mattel’s VP of global licensing and consumer products.
If you’re looking to snag a specific cup, Quenchers from the Stanley x Barbie collection will drop daily on the Stanley website from Sept. 16 until Sept. 20.
