The latest Barbie model, which maker Mattel hope to release before Christmas, will be wi-fi-enabled, making it possible for her to have a two-way conversation with her owner.
Those conversations are recorded and stored on the servers of ToyTalk, the company responsible for the technology.
Parents can even choose to upload and share those conversations online.
"You'd have to be mad to actually buy it," internet security commentator Stilgherrian said.
"The idea is kind of fun, you give your kids something to play with and it interacts with them.
"The problem is you are putting a device into the hands of children which they will have in their private spaces like their bedroom and you're connecting it to the internet."
