We also got a slew of new Barbie posters, showing the various cast members with the iconic Barbie logo and text around them.

The posters do a great job of showing off Margot Robbie and crew — but what if you want to create your own Barbie poster? Twitter and Instagram have been filled with people putting photos of themselves on the now-iconic Barbie poster, and as it turns out, making a version with a picture of yourself is as simple as using a free Barbie poster generator (but sadly not quite as simple as it being its own native Barbie filter on Instagram).
