What Is It?
Barbie made a doll of Tippi Hedren's character Melanie from the Alfred Hitchcock film The Birds.
What Happened?
Well having children play with a Barbie that features birds pecking at her (she doesn't look very afraid though) was rather controversial. This does say PG-13 I believe on the doll, but let's face it...Kids see Barbie...Kids want to play with Barbie. Alfred Hitchcock + impressional youth = angry Parents (though I'm not sure it would exactly influence Kids to perpetrate bird attacks on people).
Aftermath?
It was a limited edition Barbie in 2008, so it was only made briefly
