Mattel’s ‘world’s first gender-neutral doll’ can be a boy or a girl or neither and was launched with much interest and buzz on September 25th. Known for its Barbie and Ken dolls, Mattel has entered a new territory. It’s a pretty doll with no distinct features that define it as either a girl or a boy. No obvious breasts like Barbie or broad shoulders like Ken. The wardrobe for the doll in a mix of gender neutral clothing along with tutus and skirts.
They can be styled any way the child wants - boy, girl, shorts, skirts, long hair, short hair - whatever takes the child’s fancy.
