Product Information

I also think the potential for play is really great here, because kids can make many characters out of one doll to fit a variety of stories, regardless of gender.

Jenna Karvunidis, who popularized the gender-reveal party, recently revealed on Facebook that her now 10-year-old child is gender-nonconforming and that she regrets holding the party. I think businesses of any size now recognize that their consumer base values transparency over any other attribute.In the past five years, Mattel has committed to a journey of racial, gender, and non-ableist inclusion. The doll does not have breasts like Barbie does and has other features that do not display an obvious gender. I hate that they were discontinued, but they were unfortunately in and out of the market so quickly.

The repeated characters (like Riley) are not at all different from their first wave versions, as far as I can tell. I can see a definite family resemblance, and that combined with their natural, affectionate pose really makes them look like siblings. This line is unusual in that the dolls fall into two distinct categories: those whose wigs look good and those whose wigs look bad. Remember to surround yourself with diversity: people from different backgrounds, different races, different beliefs, and different orientations.There are Mattel dolls with different body types, heights, skin tones, and dolls with wheelchairs and prosthetics. who I named Eli)'s hair being shaved on the sides and really short on top downplays the head size difference between these dolls and Barbies, at least to my eye, so they're the younger sibling to one of my MTMs. Creatable World was praised by Jess Day, a campaigner for Let Toys Be Toys, who hoped that more toy manufacturers would follow suit in the future and avoid gender stereotypes. They eventually supported me going to art school when they saw how passionate and serious I was about becoming a designer.
