CREATABLE WORLD� Deluxe Character Kit - DC-619

Product Information

Personally, I don't think they look that bad next to a Barbie. They're definitely not quite in scale, but Lena's head looks to be a bit on the smaller side, so they might look better with a larger-headed Barbie, or one of the Disney dolls perhaps. Plus, as a kid, I had a variety of dolls this size that definitely didn't all match stylistically, and it never bothered me. There's something really endearing about that picture of Riley and Lena. I can see a definite family resemblance, and that combined with their natural, affectionate pose really makes them look like siblings.

Representation – The dolls themselves aren’t identified as boys or girls and come in a range of skin tones and hair types. There are no images of children on the boxes. (We hope that other marketing material will feature both boys and girls.) I really like this line. I only have 725 (micro-braids wig) at the moment, but I'm hoping to get my hands on a couple more- they seem like they'd be great to customize! 725 (who I named Eli)'s hair being shaved on the sides and really short on top downplays the head size difference between these dolls and Barbies, at least to my eye, so they're the younger sibling to one of my MTMs. (That wig does not work, though, which kills me because it could be so cute!! Mattel!!!) One 1/6 Scale ARMCHAIR (only), WHITE Pleather Mid Century Modern MCM Scandi Mini for Action Figure Doll Barbie Diorama (alone or w Ottoman) Growing up as a first generation Asian American, my first language was Mandarin. I learned to speak English when I started attending elementary school, and it was difficult connecting to other kids in my grade due to language and cultural barriers. My parents didn’t raise my sisters and me to conform to gender stereotypes and beauty standards - this is something we didn’t realize until we were adults and I deeply appreciate my parents for that. There were two waves of Creatable World dolls, and the second wave had a lot of repeats from the first wave.

Perhaps it’s surprising, then, that nobody has beaten Mattel to creating a gender-neutral doll. A deep Google search for such a toy turns up baby dolls or strange-looking plush creatures that don’t resemble any human who ever walked this earth. Nothing comes close to the Creatable World doll that Mattel has conjured up over the past two years.

When Let Toys Be Toys first started out in 2012 we targeted toy retailers to great success; UK retailers no longer explicitly signpost toys to boys or girls in-store and there has been a 70% drop in web navigation by gender.

The dolls are jointed, like an action figure, giving children more options for how to play with them. a b Salam, Maya. "Mattel, Maker of Barbie, Debuts Gender-Neutral Dolls". The New York Times . Retrieved 31 January 2020. Hihi Riley is my favorite too, to me the doll is a very cute tomboy, too and I love your outside photos.

The wig fits nicely over Riley's existing hair, and it stays in place pretty well. I just jammed it onto their head without any thought in this photo--the way a young child might do it: What I love the most about this dolls, is the fact that the clothes fell like real clothes. I know that there is also only clothes boxes (I've got two) and special wigs. The company released six dolls with different skin tones, hair and clothes, calling the doll line Creatable World. Mattel said that it aims to reflect and celebrate "the positive impact of inclusivity." I've been a silent reader for about two years and this blog helped turning me into a doll-collector (Barbie, barbie-sized fashiondolls and Götz dolls this far).
