If you have Barbie-themed iPods and casings then it should not be surprising to find the same themes present for iPod docking stations. Apparently this is not a new dock from the iHome collection. But with a few modifications to a colors and designs, this one should appeal to the younger crowd, especially the girls who are hooked on to Mattel’s Barbie dolls.

They come in different choices as well. There is the small Barbie iHome Portable Stereo Speaker System ($19.99), the Barbie Portable Water Resistant Stereo Sport Case ($39.99), the Barbie iHome Dual Alarm Clock ($49.99) and the Barbie iHome Portable Stereo Speaker System ($79.99). All of these Barbie-themed iPod docks are available at Toys R’ Us.
