i was looking at this doll and i did some really mild tweaks. mine on the left.
it really bothers me how i think she's supposed to be a black girl but they gave her that pale pink skin tone, just like how they gave all the other black dolls in this set pale skin tones.
color wise she's clearly hot pink but between her hair, her skin, and her outfit, she has both warm pink and cold pink, and her eyes are purple?
i also gave her hair a dark ombre to mirror her shoes, but she definitely needs more black in her outfit. like, where's the 'shadow' of shadow high?
idk how would yall redesign her?
#every time i see her i mourn what could've been#these mild tweaks are perfect to me#rainbow high#shadow high#doll thoughts#even though i like her hair and outfit and premise i just could never bring myself to buy her doll#because the base doll just doesn't work for me and i'm not a big customizer#but if she looked like this edit i would've snatched her up so fast :<#because it actually ties the colors together unlike the actual doll#(almost like her colors were initially designed to go with a darker skin tone cough cough)#throw in a necklace and the fishnets from her concept art and she'd be [chef's kiss]#ty op for this glance into a better timeline

Mattel, Maker of Pro-Diversity Barbie, Sheds DEI for Investors

Mattel, the toymaker behind the “Most Diverse Doll Line” and a blockbuster Barbie movie trumpeting diversity, is talking less about diversity, equity, and inclusion with investors as President Donald Trump attacks DEI.
The 2023 Barbie movie—which pokes fun at male Mattel Inc. executives headed by faux-CEO Will Ferrell—helped the company reinvent its brand and how its dolls are perceived by a new generation of consumers. But this year, the company removed references to its DEI efforts and didn’t include board diversity data in two recent investor filings.
Mattel did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The California-based toy company is the latest among scores of businesses that have toned down how they talk about diversity following conservative attacks on corporate DEI practices that ratcheted up under the Trump administration.
The company’s proxy statement last year highlighted diversity, equity and inclusion as one of its priorities, laying out a strategy to “create positive impact through purposeful play and by supporting diverse, equitable, and inclusive communities.” That language did not appear in its 2025 proxy statement, which the company sent to shareholders on Thursday ahead of its annual meeting on May 28.
The toymaker also cut a table that showed the gender and demographic breakdown of its board members. The company in 2024 disclosed its board had five women, one of whom was African American or Black and another who was Hispanic or Latinx. It had included a board diversity chart since 2022, the first year Nasdaq required the disclosure.
A Nasdaq Pullback
Mattel is one of many companies that have scaled back or abandoned board diversity disclosures after a court in December tossed rules requiring the reporting from companies listed on Nasdaq Inc. stock exchanges.
“Mattel has once again been recognized for its diversity, equity and inclusion efforts,” the company’s annual 10-K filing said last year, but similar language was not included in its report from late February.
The toymaker included broader language in this year’s 10-K alluding to diversity, rather than naming it directly: “Mattel is committed to fostering a culture where all employees have the opportunity to realize their full potential,” the company’s 10-K filing said this year, adding that it “values a wide range of ideas and voices that help evolve and broaden its perspectives.”
The toymaker trumpets its Barbie collection as “the most diverse doll line.”
Its website also features a section titled “Barbie Celebrates Black History Month” as well as the “First Barbie Doll with Down Syndrome.” The company’s website highlights that its Barbies have 35 skin tones, 97 hairstyles, nine body types, “and counting.”
#today in endlessly disappointing yet entirely predictable news...#doll thoughts#doll-adjacent thoughts#been part of the target boycott since february (which--for anyone out of the loop--has been working. significantly)#boycotting mattel at retail just made my doll purchase plans a lot simpler at least#play stupid games win stupid prizes 🤷🏽♀️#not holding my breath in regards to the doll community at large though >_>#i get not being able to avoid certain retailers out of necessity#but seeing doll collectors on insta and stuff still outright promoting target sales etc is just...bleh#like if nothing else do you really have to give them free advertising rn#n e way#common mattel L indeed
