For the first time ever, Barbie will wear a hijab.

Mattel (MAT), which makes Barbie, announced Monday that the latest doll in its "Shero" collection will be modeled after Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad. In 2016, Muhammad became the first American to compete in the games while wearing a hijab.

"I'm proud to know that little girls everywhere can now play with a Barbie who chooses to wear hijab! This is a childhood dream come true," Muhammad said in a tweet.

The company followed suit with Ken dolls earlier this year. Barbie's boyfriend is now available in three body types and seven skin tones



Full Story, Beautiful Story

Future collectible?

So it's time to short Mattel. I'm guessing the shelves will be full of those.

Trigger warning for this thread.

Why is it a big deal to make a doll every little girl can relate to?

Mattel will probably sell a few thousand, but really, redesigned. Nah, just slap a rag around the plastic body and put a face mask and epee with it. I don’t see a big hook nose on it. How easy is that!

Ken and Barbie need to come with interchangeable genitalia so that all kids can feel included, and identify appropriately. I mean, it must be traumatic for a child to not see any genitalia on the doll and think something is wrong with them. And what’s with the toy soldiers being all green.

Except once again the doll actually has no choice. It is being forced to wear it.
