May 25 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The newest “Barbie Basic Collection” has some parents upset and calling for a recall. Apply nicknamed, “Busty Barbie”, the new doll in question is an African American doll, dressed in a very low cut slim black dress, with what seems to be exaggerated cleavage bursting from the top. The neck line of the dress plunges almost to the waist of this new ‘Barbie’.

“What parent would buy this for their kid?” Andie Whitaker said. “Is that really an appropriate image you want to display for your young daughter?” He also added, “I doubt my daughter will have it, and I don’t want her to think she has to be a busty Barbie who’s constantly wearing heels in low cut shirts.” But Suzy Sullivan of Coon Rapids has a different opinion, “They are mimicking the dresses their mothers wear for date night with their husbands or boyfriends, there’s nothing wrong with that.”

WPTV reports that the new doll is available in retail stores all over the United States. ‘Target’ stores have been confirmed to carry the doll, which has not yet been recalled and most likely won’t be. Target has stated that they plan to continue in selling the doll, and Mattel, the manufacturers of ‘Barbie’ were not available for comment. The doll can be seen in the video, embedded below.
