Though the doll was no longer going to be produced, the “Flashing Lights” rapper, 41, swooped into action — and had the toy company make something special for his wife.
Mattel did not immediately return PEOPLE’s request for comment about the scrapped Kardashian Barbie.
Kardashian West didn’t provide a pic of her doppelgänger doll, but fans loved the idea of it.
“Best husband ever,” one wrote, while another gushed, “This is AMAZING! He really is the best.”
“OMG, a KKW Barbie would be a great collectors item!!!” wrote one fan. “I would totally buy it!!” agreed another.
