Now with seven skin types, four body types, and a variety of hair and eye colors, Mattel has transformed the look of its infamous Barbie doll. While many see this as a step in the right direction in terms of diversity, others think it’s too little, too late.
What do you think of the new Barbie line? Would you buy one for the children in your life?

I think it’s a start. Everything has to start somewhere! It’s never to late!
Why should we it took too long for them to decide. There are black doll makers I would support because they were there when there was no other.
Better Late than Never! This change is greatly needed on every level of the toy industry. I wish the change had come during my childhood, but congratulations to the current and future generation of children. Happy to see the dolls represent beauty as realistic as life.
