>>5323554The point is that you're crying Tumblr over... what, exactly? Mattel making a collector black Barbie over a regular playline black Barbie?
Mattel didn't make this to ~*~*~appease PC outrage~*~*~. They originally made the doll for the recipients for some award event in New York. Mattel frequently makes special OOAK dolls for celebrities, award winners, basically any time they can get some publicity out of it. Photos of the dolls leaked, and people assumed Mattel was making them for wide release. In fact it was only a few weeks ago that Mattel announced they decided to go ahead and produce some of those 6 dolls for their collector line, including this one due to its popular reception online.
So go ahead and wildly rant about Tumblr and PC because Mattel is making a collector doll of an award winning director in clothes she's frequently seen in. It'll... make you happy? But then who knows if anything does.
