this isn't supposed to be a political statement, it's just a doll that gives kids more ways to play, more characters to make. nowhere does it say that children are being encouraged to change genders, some people look at an article with the word "gender" in it and write an angry comment about how western civilization is being destroyed because of all the evil transgenders influencing children!!!! or something like that. no, it's a doll that is giving children a CHOICE of what they want to dress their doll up or play with, if you think it's supposed to be malicious, take a break from the internet.

I love this. I love the idea that a doll can be so versatile, that kids can create a toy that reflects them or their friends and not have to worry about if it's a toy coded for girls or boys. Forget the gender neutral aspect of it for a minute and remember it's a toy for kids who are generally not as aware of or hung up on ideas of gender or sexuality as their adult caretakers may be. This is a toy they can mod and play with to better reflect themselves or what their current likes are. I think it's an awesome idea.

I can’t believe all the people getting bent out of shape over this. This doll is awesome, there is like 100+ dolls in one. How about don’t focus on the title of this thread and see this doll for what it is. It’s a versatile doll that can change character however the child wants with however they feel like at the time. I can’t count how many times I cut my dolls hair to make different hairstyles, this doll you can interchange them without ruining the doll. Come on people stop getting outraged over nothing, ever heard the term click bait?

I'm a gender neutral person, and I really like the idea. There's a lot of choices. I'm quite sad I didn't get to play with these dolls when I was little ;-;

I would have LOVED that as a child - not because of the gender neutrality (I wouldn't have even understood that) but because of the cool clothes different hair styles.

Yes yes yes! My son always wanted a barbie but never found one he really liked. He likes violett but he hates pink. But barbie is ... was all about pink...

I see a whole lot of missing pieces happening.

This is such a good idea! Several dolls and story lines in one. Pretty cool.

Finally, a doll that goes with my non-binary gender

I actually think it’s cool. It’s a make-your-own Barbie. Stop being so worried about which bathroom it’s going to go in.

OMG this is so cool and I want them!!

Finally! I love this!

This is pretty great, and the execution is better than I expected.

Wonderful idea. :) I have seen videos about Japanese ball-jointed dolls that have very much options for customization and you can buy various body parts separately to get the unique look to your doll. But those dolls are very expensive to order from Asia so it is good that there will be more cheaper customisable dolls from Mattel. :)

i kinda love this....it opens kids up to self expression and allows them to explore who they are and want to be.

I might accualy cry. I'm not even kidding. This means so much to me because all the Barbie's that I have ever seen were women and I felt I wasent "girly" because I'm not. All the other girls when I was younger would play with Barbie's and I would try to fit in and join them but it always felt wrong playing as a "girl" this gives kids, (like me) who are non-binary, transgender, genderqueer, Gender fluid, and anything else (sorry if I didn't in life some I don't know all of them.) I think there should be more dolls like this that will include everyone. We also need to add third gender restrooms but that's a debate for a different day.

I think it's about time. Children do not identify with gender until they are about 10 years old. So why not let children dress up in clothes that entice them by color, style, or what ever ;look they like. Thank you Mattel.
