What the truck sells

This year’s truck is the Barbie Original Icon Tour, Mattel’s fifth truck tour since 2021. Mattel describes it as a traveling pop-up with a vintage and Y2K theme.

The truck sells apparel, accessories and keepsakes. Mattel says they are available only on the tour, and in person only, not online.

Times and where to find it
