Two new Barbie dolls with disabilities are being released on Tuesday, July 23, as part of an expansion of the Barbie Fashionistas line, Mattel announced in a news release. The new dolls, known as "Blind Barbie" and the "Black Barbie doll with Down syndrome," were each developed in partnership with nonprofit organizations. "We recognize that Barbie is much more than just a doll.
Our packaging team went back to the drawing board and came up with a new design featuring a tab to pull and open on the back of box," the company said. "When AFB received the updated package for testing, they said it made all the difference." Other dolls in the Barbie Fashionista line will have this new packaging soon as well, the release said. The Black Barbie doll with Down syndrome is the second Barbie Fashionista doll with the condition.
