Believe me, Barbies don't burn well.

This is the scenario...me and my girlfriend, her little sisters barbie, fire crackers and a lighter in the park. One of the best times of my life.

 

[Elapid]

would you want to melt it or grind it into a fine powder then compress it?
maybe some epoxy to keep things together...

have fun blowing yourself up elapid.

Dan, I think barbie would need more oomph, maybe one of those 1/4 sticks. You know what I mean firecrackers are for army men

..and the best thing is, there's pics HAHA yea, a 1/4 stick...how about some Thermite...

I think this whole barbie hybrid deal is a little out there...

LOL
Elapid, that pic is great

Anyway, I have found in the past Barbies burn quite soundly with a variety of pyrotechnic compositions inserted through the head .
Experimentation is strictly limited to sister's barbies however.

It would be kinda hard to drill a straight port from the head through to the legs, and the motor would require a non-combustible liner to prevent the nitrous from acting like a cutting torch on the casing. The body might also heat fast enough to structurally fail during firing, and plug the nozzle throat .

Funny if you could make it work though.
