New Barbie Dolls Will Be Hairless and Have Skin Pigmentation
Also with a golden prosthesis.
American toy maker Mattel has unveiled a new series of Barbie dolls, including toys without hair and with vitiligo, a chronic skin condition in which pigmentation is disrupted. As reports CNN.
“If a girl loses her hair for some reason, she can see her reflection in the line,” the company says.
The company continues to move away from outdated beauty standards and stereotypes about appearance. The new Barbie collection has added three dolls, including one with a gold prosthesis, one without hair, and one with vitiligo.
In 2019, Mattel released a Barbie in a wheelchair and one with a leg prosthesis. This year, the company added another doll model with a prosthesis. Company representatives note that in 2019 in the UK, the most popular dolls were Barbie dolls in wheelchairs.
Earlier, Mattel released a doll with hearing impairments who had a hearing aid. The company also launched a line of gender-neutral Barbie dolls.
