Charlie Brown D&D
Call of Cthulu Barbie
Pride and Prejudice and Pathfinder

Really any property that doesn't revolve around violence and action is going to be a poor fit for a large swath of TTRPG systems, and any that doesn't revolve around horror or solving mysteries will flop with another large swath.

It all reminds me of the bit at the end of Waiting for Guffman:

Call of Cthulu Barbie
Barbie has had so many jobs that I think she could fit in just about any RPG.

Paranormal investigator? Covered.

Okay, but what about D&D? She's a Bard.

Star Trek? Believe it or not, she's got that covered too.

I mean, any rpg can be turned into a Barbie outfit, I'm sure. I'm just not sure how it translates the other direction. I feel like a Barbie TTRPG should probably center on acquiring different clothing, jobs, and dreamhouses, which is a very different core gameplay loop than most TTRPGs. But perhaps I'm missing something; I've only played with these dolls incidentally as a small child.
