The Rosa Parks Barbie* is white

The Right one.

Rosa Parks was light-skinned. The doll is accurate enough.

Actually the real Rosa Park’s looks lighter than the Barbie. What were they supposed to do OP? Make her blacker so your racist ass would be happy? I hope you burn in hell.

A tasteless idea to begin with, a champion of civil rights reduced to being a Barbie doll...

I'm a doll collector, & I think it's tacky.

It is rather bizarre.

Gina Gershon? More like Drake.

I think that is really an AOC Barbie.

The Aung San Suu Kyi Barbie® better look fully Burmese!

Rosa Parks doll looks like RBG.

Yeah this will help all little girls to know about Rosa’s legacy. They can make a bus where the center aisle is a runway and Rosa Barbie can walk down it and put on a fashion show for all the white barbies on the bus!!

I wait with my judgement until I see how the Ken Doll looks like who demands that Rosa Parks Barbie gives up her seat. Hope he looks like Donald Trump.

Her estate had to approve of this right? How could they, are they money grubbing? The only way I’m ok with this is if all proceeds go to college scholarships for African American girls studying activism and civil rights. And who get to sit in the front of the class, not the back.

Not white, but very much [italic]douce caramel[/italic]

Stay tuned, kiddies, for the Medgar Evers Ken doll.

Interesting, #7- maybe a last minute switch because of AOC's recent controversies?

The real Rosa Parks probably had genitals, too. You can bet your ass this doll doesn't.

I can't wait for the Rosa Parks Montgomery Dream House!

R15 oh please.

She looks "Light Egyptian" by Max Factor

"The real Rosa Parks probably had genitals, too."

Probably?

OP is a fucking idiot who just showcases that they know nothing about Rosa Parks.

Yes, R20. I never saw them. I have no personal knowledge of them.

But it is probable that they were there.

I think it’s a good representation. You can’t make her too dark or it will turn off white families. A white blonde middle to upper class girl will now be able to learn about an important historical figure.

"Make her too dark"? Rosa Parks is a real person and she was not a dark-skinned lady.

Instead of a sports car does she come with a bus?

When will the Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera Barbie dolls be coming out?

Can they come with a tiny crackpipe and stained underwear?

Why do you need a doll to learn about Rosa Parks? Read a book.......

Where’s the Nelson Mandela Ken doll? His doll comes with a Barbie Prison Cell!

It's not as fun as re-enacting the historical event. Barbie Rosa can be seated and GI Joe with Full Beard can come in and scream obscenities at Rosa and tell her that if she knew what was good for her to get to the back of the bus. It's very therapeutic for children.

I'm a Barbie collector but I don't know why they keep making barbies of historical figures, they always end up in clearance because nobody buys them.

R31 how many do you have and are you make?

Male?

Oh, I've already ordered my Rosa Pars action figure. I also ordered a trump action figure. When I get them I'm going to take them out of their boxes and pretend Ms. Parks is kicking trump's ass EVERY DAY.

I’m intrigued with adult doll collectors. Can any of you comment how you got into this and what fascinates you about it? And do you lead “normal” lives outside of doll collecting?

Every little girl's fantasies come true!

Sold separately: Rosa's best friend Marty (Martin Luther King, Jr.)®, Rosa's ally Earl (Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren)®,and Rosa's enemy, Bull (Bull Connor)®! Have hours and hours of fun filing legal briefs and staring down fire hoses!

Plus you can collect all her accessories-- Rosa's Dream Municipal Bus®, Rosa's Dream Tenement®, and Rosa's Friendship Greyhound Bus® (for taking to civil rights marches)!

I find the concept of a Rosa Parks Barbie doll weird, but I think the skin tone looks fine.

I hope they include some WHITE American female heroes as well.

If only you Googled the info you would know that Sally Ride Barbie was announced at the same time as Rosa Parks Barbie and in the past they have had an Amelia Earhart one.

A Ruth Bader Ginsburg doll R38. She's missing several internal organs and her arms and legs pop off with the least pressure but God damnit she's brave.

Get the whole set, #40.

I love President Elizabeth Warren!! Thanks R41.

Ok collect fashion dolls but not Barbie. I prefer Integrity Toys; however, I will purchase her to join my KatherineJohnson Barbie.

That doll can be redressed to be Meghan M 😂

R44 = a royals poster!

I didn’t know this bitch was black!

The Magda Goebbels Barbie is the best historical Barbie.

I want a Eleanor Roosevelt at Vallkill Barbie and a Nancy Cunard taking BBC in Paris Barbie
