I know the trend has long passed but I feel like they deserve one

Also fun fact, all the friends that I showed Claw Noir's design had the same reaction: "oh I thought this was a lesbian". So that's hilarious

POV: Our plans for the 21st night of September

So I stumbled through the Barbie aisle at Walmart the other day…

…and y'all, I almost cried. Just look at these. LOOK AT THEM.

So many skin tones!

PLUS SIZED BODY TYPES!

NATURAL HAIR STYLES!!! MULTIPLE SHADES OF DARK SKIN!!!

A WOMAN AS A DOCTOR!!!!!

I’M NOT DONE, THERE IS A PHOTO LIMIT!

LOOK AT THIS PROFESSIONAL LADY!

SO MANY SKIN TONES AND BODY TYPES AND LOOK AT THAT MERMAN!!!

FRECKLES!!!

Y'all, I’m just…so so happy.

I’m 35 years old and I’ve never seen a Barbie that looked like me, and then there I am as a Barbie in a purple sweater with thick thighs and evenly proportioned boobs and pink hair and a cat.

I can only imagine how other girls must feel.

Nicely done, Mattel. Nicely done!

Mattel also just announced some new Barbie dolls who have wheelchairs or prosthetic limbs!!!

Like screw anything calling this “politically correct,” this is what the real world literally is.  And the world’s population of children is just as diverse as its adults.  Kids deserve to see themselves represented.  As a disabled person myself, I can’t tell you how much this would have meant to me as a little girl.

BRO HAVE Y’ALL SEEN THE NEWLY RELEASED ONES

IM SOBBING

YES YES YES THIS IS PERFECT!!!

I only ever saw the one disabled Barbie but their is at least two! And look a ramp!

the OP was made a year ago so for fun I went to check what they’re new dolls were

Guys… Even being confident there would be even MORE added to the barbie range of dolls…. I was not prepared.

I am about to image spam you so forgive but there’s just SO MUCH

holy shit. I’m like… not even a doll person and so many of these I want!

There’s LITERALLY too many to add

(who is she?)

Plus sized Barbie with DIMPLES

They actually have a barbie with albinism and bothered to give her a proper face-sculpt!

This one looks like she could kill me instantly if she made direct eye-contact

This one’s smile is just KILLING me

Nubian girl because we’re not messing around

Also… this doll does not have any name on the product listing nor on the packaging so this might just be me but…. help me out here guys… is this.. ….is this a non-binary barbie? Am I presuming too much or is that what I’m looking at here??

Also final note. Just to REALLY drill this all home, Barbie has some photos of kids playing with the dolls and

Ironically, Barbie did not come to play around.

Also I’m obsessed with this Sally Ride doll

Hello. I still don’t collect Barbies but I still love this post and wanted to check for new updates. Here’s a small group of some of the new 2022 dolls

Black lady with Freckles

Behind the ear hearing aids

Vitiligo Ken

Ken with slender body shape

There are several others as well but I don’t want this post to destroy too much of people’s dashes.

Specialty dolls for 2022

I had to check this one because I’m not familiar with the equipment but this is a “Para Alpine Skier” doll

Also there hasn’t been much said about it in the notes on this post but the Skipper and Chelsea dolls also come in various skintones and hair textures now

There’s also apparently a David Bowie doll coming this year (2022, not the 2021 costume only one) but I can’t see if there’s been photos revealed yet.
