Disability pride Barbie anyone? While I don’t use a wheelchair, I can tell they did put some thought into the design by giving her the low back style wheelchair with the wheel grips, so this Barbie is going places.
This Barbie is in a wheelchair (and has an afro)! No fun pink rollerskates with wheelchair afro Barbie, because she gets a neon orange wheelchair ramp? Idk that seems like a truly bizarre choice but I'm not in a wheelchair so I could be so wrong about that. She is wearing a very cute jumper with a rainbow sunglass print and honestly why doesn't Mattel make a clothing line because I'd rock Barbie outfits every day.

This Barbie rocks a Natural (as they said back in the day) and this silly little box cannot handle it. Idk how that visor is supposed to fit her head, and they shoulda included a pick 🪮
This Barbie has an afro! Image of a Black Barbie with an afro. The depiction of Barbie on the front of the box is adorable but the afro on the actual doll is too big for the box and it really has me side eyeing whoever in packaging decided "just smush all that hair in there who cares how it looks" as though one of the major selling points of natural hair Barbies isn't how beautiful natural hair is. Anyway, she has a super cute white dog accessory, really adorable white hoop earrings, and comes with pink rollerskates, so that's pretty cool.

A brief thread of the natural hair Barbie’s I saw at Target today. Alt text by @beginproof.bsky.social

This Barbie has laid edges! I noticed this first. I wonder what happens if you take her hair down tho…
This Barbie has laid edges! Image of a Black Barbie with laid edges and hair pulled up into a pineapple. She's smiling because she's a Barbie and that's what Barbies do. There is a black and white line drawing of a sun behind her and it is also smiling although that is not what suns do. Other line drawings and stylized alphabet letters complete the background

Idk how many Black folk on this site yet, BUT
A photograph of the MLK memorial statue photoshopped so that MLK is holding a folding chair, a reference to the chair used in the Montgomery, Alabama brawl.
