Great news for "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" fans—they will be able to own their very own Barbie superhero dolls in the image of the film's stars: Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot and Henry Cavill.

Cosmic Book News reports that the dolls are part of the Barbie "Black Label" line, which will be available beginning Feb. 15, just in time for the film's release on March 25. According to Comic Book Resources, preorders will be shipped on March 1.

The dolls are set to retail for $39.95 apiece. To order, head over to thebarbiecollection.com.

Check out the official description of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman Dolls below.

Batman: Fierce and formidable, the Dark Knight of Gotham City is on a mission to take down Superman! You’ll swear this fully articulated Batman looks just like the gritty hero arriving on movie screens in March 2016, in both face sculpt and costume design. Includes Batarang™ accessory and display stand.

Superman: Revered savior, or alien menace? The world is divided about Superman in this new movie. This fully articulated Man of Steel is inspired in sculpt and costume by his silver screen counterpart. He may be faster than a speeding bullet, but he comes with a stand to keep him in one place on your shelf!

Wonder Woman: The wild card in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice™, Wonder Woman is the daughter of Zeus and an Amazonian princess! Sculpted and costumed just like the movie character, she’s fully articulated and ready to fight with her sword, shield, and her iconic “magic” lasso. Knee-high boots, armored bracelets, and a headdress complete her warrior’s attire.

Barbie has recently made groundbreaking changes to their line of Barbies, releasing three body types to address issues on diversity. The new Barbie now features tall, petite, and curvy body types.

"We're going to continue to work hard at being responsible and a better reflection of the world that girls live in today," Evelyn Mazzocco, Mattel SVP and global brand general manager, told CBS News. "It would be more of a risk if we don't continue to evolve Barbie—if we stayed stagnant, if she looked the same, if she did the same thing. She's got to evolve with the times."

Barbie seems to be evolving in the right direction by incorporating Marvel's superheroes in the "Black Label line, too, as it features Wonder Woman. Some have already criticized other toy manufacturers for not making enough female superhero action figures. It's good to know that Wonder Woman is well represented in the Barbie world.

"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" opens on March 25.
