OK, this isn't TV related, but it's so over the top I had to share.

Still searching for that elusive Christmas gift for the person who has everything? You absolutely can't go wrong with this one ...

Someone over at Mattel has clearly lost their mind and is making money off it. A Special Barbie Collector model has been tailored after Tippi Hendren's role in the 1963 Alfred Hitchcock thriller The Birds. Take a gander at this ...



What makes me think this would be the perfect gift for Tim Burton this season?

For $40 a pop, grown-up doll collectors can have their favorite blonde, packaged in a box and viciously pecked by birds. Hmmmm, I think I know what I'm getting the Elfman for Xmas this year ...

And he'll love it!

"The master of suspense, gave us a tale of terror not soon forgotten in his film 'The Birds'," according to Mattel's pitch.

"Dressed in a re-creation of the stylish green skirt-suit worn by the film's ill-fated heroine in an iconic scene, Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Birds' Barbie Doll celebrates the 45th anniversary of the acclaimed film."

Makers of the doll warn parents that this Barbie is "rated PG-13" (Wow a doll with an MPAA rating!) and might not be suited for every little girl in New York.

Look out Todd McFarlane, Mattel's cutting into your profits!

And Elfman, if you're looking for something for your fave blogger, I'll take a Twilight Edward Cullen action figure!



Merry Christmas Chochum!
