The cast of "Barbie" looked like they were having fun playing with dolls at a roundtable discussion for a Time interview published June 27.

Margot Robbie, Issa Rae, Kate McKinnon, Hari Nef, and Alexandra Shipp got to express their creativity in a few rounds of challenges where they had to dress up their Barbie for a variety of situations — the Met Gala, being named TIME Person of the Year, and being a superhero.

Margot Robbie's superhero doll was an unclothed Ken with shoulder-length blonde hair. He has the special ability to go invisible.
