Mattel unveils a new Barbie doll Tuesday representing a person with Down syndrome 'to better reflect the world around us and further our commitment to celebrating inclusion through play.'
Mattel said it worked closely with the National Down Syndrome Society during the doll's design process, including sculpting, clothing, accessories and packaging.
The doll features a new face and body sculpt to be more representative of women with Down syndrome, including a rounder face, smaller ears, flat nasal bridge and eyes slightly slanted in an almond shape. The doll's palms also include a single line, which is a characteristic often associated with people with Down syndrome. A medical professional reviewed the physical features of the new doll.
