Over two decades after the Barbie Polaroid camera was first released in 1999, Retrospekt has brought back Polaroid 600 instant camera internals with a bold, newly-moulded, Barbie-themed exterior designed based on the graphics and colours of the original Barbie Polaroid camera. It's available on Retrospekt's online store with US$39.43 (~S$52.08) shipping fee to Singapore.

Like the other cameras, this one has vintage camera internals housed in a new Gudetama-themed exterior. You can purchase it at Urban Outfitters with S$30 shipping to Singapore.
If that price tag is out of our budget, there are more affordable options like the $53 Hello Kitty digital camera and Sanrio Fujifilm Instax Mini 9. Or you could spend $20 for a ticket to the Vintage Cameras Museum in Singapore with giant camera statues and over 1000 cameras.
