  • Dolls are often at the top of a child's holiday wish list, and last year, more than $3.4 billion worth of the toys were sold in the United States. There's a growing push to develop and sell dolls that look like the children buying them. Michelle Miller has more.

    as a doll collector, seeing the growth of dolls and what they've come to today just from my childhood 20 years ago is amazing. there are so many and their outfits are always so good. my favorite thing about naturalistas is that they're budget friendly! there's another doll company out there prototyping fat dolls!! can you imagine plus sized dolls? the lil chunky kids who get to see themselves in the dolls too? ❤❤❤ love love love dolls, and im so glad they've helped the world grow as much as they have.

      I know right. Parents had a fit over Mattel's Flava and My Scene lines. I love them. Doll companies need to realize there is an adult doll community. We spend more on dolls than any parent buying for children. What child has 1000s of dolls? 😊

    Thank you for this. In the 60's I used a large Coke bottle and a clothes pin (spring removed) the clothes pin would hold rope tightly in the top of the bottle. I. Combed and rolled the rope hair. The rollers were brown paper bag. My grandmother Maude Lewis taught me that. I remember telling her but it doesn't have a face but the hair is beautiful. 😊

    Love this but it's not new. Mattel has been doing this since 1968. Barbie's friend Christie had afro. Julia and the first Black Barbie have "short" afros. Now the Barbie production has skyrocketed in diversity with doll with down syndrome, hearing aide, teeth braces, wheelchair, prosthetic, afro, short hair, shaved sides, bald...
    This line has one doll with short hair and it's molded. Not a quality mold either. Diversity include dolls with short hair that can be restyled. Not all black gyrlz have hair to the paducah.
    Did I buy them? Yes!!! I customize. 😉

      Yes. Thank you. I grew up in the 70s and 80s. There were many dark skin dolls. I had a Christie and I think Disco Wanda. A few others that were similar to Barbie. I'm white by the way. I adopted my biracial daughter in the early 2000s and I had a hard time finding any ethnic dolls. I'm glad they are expanding with diversity. I bought my daughter a Barbie with Vitiligo. And just bought her a Barbie with Down Syndrome for Christmas. My daughter is autistic and her best friend has Down Syndrome. Love the new dolls.

I loved that doll, it was my favorite doll. I don't recall the clothes and I didn't have a change of doll clothes. And I guess, taken from the movie Toy Story, one day it was gone!!

    I adore Bratz, but this is actually soooo disrespectful to both Mattel & Disney.
    Mattel produced black barbies since the 60s, with curly & non-curly hair lol... and later on asian & hispanic characters too.
    In almost all Barbie lines, you have a black AA doll dressed in completely identical outfit (equality)
    And Disney included gypsies, natives, arabs, greeks & asians in their 90s films - which were all represented in dolls too...
    Saying that 'bratz started it all' - seems like a tag sponsored by MGA themselves
