Fashionistas Doll #228, Blind Barbie Doll Wearing Pink Top and Ruffled Skirt with Cane and Sunglasses in Partnership with the American Foundation for the Blind

Bought as an inclusion gift. They loved it. Very classic and classy.

A pretty Barbie that represents the Blind nicely. Her outfit is cute, her cane is awesome, and her face is so pretty. I love that she comes with sun glasses, too, if you want to change up her look a little. A great doll at a fantastic price. She's proudly standing next to my Down Syndrome Barbies and my Barbie in the wheelchair. I just wish, like I always do, that this Barbie had a little more articulation. The elbows are great, but I wish her knees also bent.

My child enjoys playing with the doll. I enjoyed the lesson it teaches that we’re all equal and no one’s any less of a person because of a disability

Llegó en buenas condiciones.

I brought her for my blind mom. She thinks it's very cute she enjoys the feeling of the cloths and thinks the small cane is darling. It sits with the resof the Barbie collection we have front and center.

Super good

My visually impaired sister loved this Barbie when I gave it to her for her birthday. As usual, Mattel has paid close attention to detail. Barbie's cane has the "marshmallow" type tip that a lot of modern canes have, and the red section at the bottom apparently denotes that Barbie is visually impaired rather than fully blind. The cane has a little loop that fits easily over Barbie's hand. She comes with tiny light-blocking glasses that are resting on top of her head, but can also fit on Barbie's face. She has long, gorgeous brown hair and a typical pink and purple Barbie outfit. Her eyes are looking slightly up rather than directly forward. If you're giving this to a child, have scissors or snippers ready to cut the MANY bands and clips that hold Barbie in her box. These would be difficult for any kid, but especially so for a visually impaired child. I've heard some people say that Mattel doesn't need to keep making dolls of so many types, that it's going too far. But I think it's wonderful that they're making it so that almost any child can find a Barbie that looks and lives like them or like someone they love. This Barbie, the larger-figured Barbie, the ones (multiple!) in wheelchairs, the ones of various races-- these Barbies aren't for the people who don't want them to exist. If the look on my adult sister's face is anything to go by, a child with visual impairments, or who has a friend or family member with visual impairments, would adore this doll.

The doll is great. I love the representation, but whoever approved of the idea of making her cross eyed is going straight to hell.
