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!

It’s not that.

It’s that Barbie represents the free American or Western ideal women, not a subservient woman with less rights than men.

It is pandering to an oppressive way of life where women are second class citizens.

Why would you want to assist that regressive agenda?
