@Arianna, yes, I get your point, well put both in the article and in your comment. And, I agree with you. It would be so amazing for the doll you challenge us to imagine to be on the shelf for all kids. And since Matel has so much access to our kids…
Prina, by the way, just to be clear, these are Barbie dolls this artist is working with. She just gets them and changes them.
I love you too, Prina, and you can call me Twisted since we friends! ;)
Albert and ZyeCha, ya'll are too funny. Albert you obviously enjoy the dialogue with ZyeCha, and ZyeCha stopped capitalizing (i.e. YELLING) to make it easier for all of us to read her posts, all the while telling us that she's doing it for Her!

@Arieanna, you can't really have an Afropunk doll on the store shelves. What you can have is a moldable template, that a free child can take and mold and re-mold to heart and soul's content, which is what the children of Afropunks are already doing…
I completely agree with all of you. ZyeCha, you are on point about "trying 2 erase us all the while having a black face to do it." I have no interest in giving props to Matel. What do you think about the dolls re-created by Artist Loanne Hizo Ostlie…
But the artist Loanne Hizo Oslie's remakes are better than the Matell versions. http://www.tabloach.com/gallery/gallery.htm
Imagine if we had these dolls to play with growing up. Fierce!
Is this happening? I'm interested.
This book is hypnotic.
