Mattel breaks barriers with new Barbie representing Down syndrome.

Mattel has released a Barbie with Down's syndrome as part of its efforts to make its range more diverse and inclusive. The doll was created in collaboration with the US National Down Syndrome Society and features a shorter frame, longer torso, and rounder face with almond-shaped eyes. It wears a yellow and blue puff-sleeved dress and pink ankle foot orthotics to match its outfit. The new doll is part of Mattel's goal for "all children to see themselves in Barbie" and to "play with dolls who do not look like themselves."
