If you asked people what they thought of Barbie dolls about a decade or two ago, you were bound to hear an earful. Barbie was adored by girls around the world, but she didn’t look like most them. She didn’t come in all the different skin tones that the little girls who played with her did. Her body type didn’t reflect those of real women. As people woke up to the idea of inclusivity in children’s toys, it seemed like Barbie was in danger of being left in the past.

Mattel realized this and began to work on making changes. In 2016, we saw the first of those changes. Barbies were, for the first time, available in tall, short, and curvy body types. They made a more diverse range of skin tones for the dolls, as well as different hairstyles and textures. Mattel took the iconic dolls a stepĀ further into the modern age. Now, Mattel is making moves to represent the differently abled with a wheelchair doll and one with a prosthetic leg.
