Although the new dolls made a big splash on International Women’s Day, many fans criticized Mattel for the Kahlo doll, which did not include a full unibrow or the artist’s wheelchair. Nonetheless, the move marks the latest attempt by its manufacturer, Mattel, to diversify the Barbie range. Fans of Apfel won't be able to nab her exact Barbie—the Iris Apfel doll released today is one-of-a-kind.
