Don and Betty Draper, would no doubt approve; characters from the hit series Mad Men are to be immortalised in plastic. Mattel has announced it will create a limited-edition release of Barbie and Ken dolls to celebrate the Emmy Award-winning show about a fictional Madison Avenue advertising firm, Sterling Cooper, in the 1960s. Apart from Don Draper and his wife Betty, Sterling Cooper partner Roger Cooper and office manager Joan Holloway will be honoured, The New York Times reports. The dolls will come with accessories, mainly clothes, but the makers have drawn the line at including the cigarettes and liquor cabinets that are ever-present in the show.
