Review: Beautiful doll with great representation! - A pretty Barbie that represents the Blind nicely. Her outfit is cute, her cane is awesome, and her face is so pretty. I love that she comes with sun glasses, too, if you want to change up her look a little. A great doll at a fantastic price. She's proudly standing next to my Down Syndrome Barbies and my Barbie in the wheelchair. I just wish, like I always do, that this Barbie had a little more articulation. The elbows are great, but I wish her knees also bent.
Review: Nice doll with a meaningful message - This Barbie is a great addition to the Fashionistas line. I like that it represents diversity and inclusion, and the details are really thoughtful. The sunglasses and white cane are nice touches, and the outfit is colorful and fun. The doll looks well made and is a great option for kids who enjoy imaginative play. It’s also nice to see toys that help represent different experiences in the real world.

## Features

- Designed to reflect the world kids see today, this diverse line of Barbie Fashionistas dolls showcases bright and trendy styles that make for endless storytelling possibilities.
- Introducing the first ever blind Barbie Fashionistas doll! Barbie partnered with the American Foundation for the Blind to design a doll that accurately portrays someone who is blind or has low vision.
- She wears a satiny pink blouse and sparkly, ruffled skirt made with a fun-to-touch fabric! Strappy lavender heels add an extra note of style savviness to her sweet look.
- The brightly colored, high-contrast closures on the back of her top and on her skirt’s elastic waistband make it easier to dress Barbie doll!
- Her silvery aviator sunglasses are not only super cool -- they’re practical too! The “lenses” shield her eyes from UV rays when it’s sunny.
- Barbie uses her white cane as she explores the city. It’s an important complement to her day-to-night outfit, which is perfect for a fun-filled weekend with friends!
- From articulated arms that make using the cane a breeze, to packaging that features the word “Barbie” in Braille, this Blind Fashionistas doll is lovingly designed in every way.
- Kids 3 years old and up can collect other Barbie Fashionistas dolls for even more fun with friends and fashion at playtime (each sold separately, subject to availability).
