So Mattel made a doll in her likeness.
The doll sports her white Team USA uniform and number 20 jersey. It also features knee joints so Abby can run around the soccer field or, more realistically, your kid's bedroom carpet.

The doll was unveiled during the 2016 Makers Conference to showcase goundbreaking female leaders.
BuzzFeed reached out to Mattel for comment.

"You guys may not believe this but I was a Barbie kid, like for real," Wambach told the conference audience.
"And I'm not just saying that!"
