I'm not terribly impressed for three reasons.
First, 'Lazy Mattel' as I refer to them loves to recycle face molds when in fact they can come up with excellent likenesses. If you don't believe me, google images of the Cindy Crawford, Rachel Zoe and Mario Lopez dolls, to name a few.
Second, apart from three biracial dolls - which tbh most interest me out of this bunch and which I hope make it to production - there is no representation of Black dolls. What's up with that, Mattel???
Third, how did they chose the subjects, I'm curious to know. I'm not taking away from any of the fabulous women that were chosen but where is Serena Williams or Oprah? (Don't tell me we already have an Oprah doll from the Wrinkle in Time series! We want an Oprah doll not a Mrs Which doll!)
I saw someone on IG campaigning for Mattel to manufacture the Chloe Kim doll and I thought, Save yourself the trouble. Mattel doesn't listen to or care what adult collectors want!
What are your thoughts?
