The dolls, part of Barbie’s Fashionistas line, are also heralding a new era of diversity for the iconic toy. In 2009, Barbie’s “So in Style” range introduced a collection of black Barbie dolls. This time around, Mattel adds eight new skin tones to the mix, as well as 18 new eye colors, 23 hair colors, 22 hairstyles and 14 new face shapes. Though it seems Barbie is still sporting those impossible proportions, at least there will be a fashion doll to represent a range of ethnicities. Baby steps, y’all.
