This is the first time the new Fashionista Barbies have been introduced in Asia, according to Lotte Mart, the Korean handler of Toys R Us.

There are seven different curvy Fashionista Barbies. Only 600 are to be sold this time, through four Toys R Us shops here -- Jamsil, Gimpo, Guro and Kintex.

Each doll is priced at 17,800 won ($15).
