I think there might be a plagiarism claim there. Looks exactly like Yorkshire Barbie.

Don't know.

Oprah called hers a "Barbie doll" so they must be a type.

Edited to say she was the first famous US black woman who sprang to mind who probably had a Barbie doll, so I googled her.

Because JRM needs deflections and is relying on the foot soldiers to provide them

They release press releases about the dolls and a random media outlet will print one of them.

Barbie gets real
Not sure how I feel about this, are they going to make a William Wilberforce doll? Maybe a king of Benin Doll?

Should we be politicising dolls? I have no problem having Barbies that reflect all colours and abilities. Making it a political point is worrying and divisive.
