So we all know that the So in Style dolls are being sold in the USA at Toys’r'us, Target and Walmart stores now… but how about outside the USA?
Asia = ??? does anyone know?
Australia = good news – Mattel Australia are quick with their responses! bad news – I quote “we have not immediate plans to range these Dolls in Australia. You could try the Ebay Website.”
EvilBAY??? – are you kidding? do you know how EXPENSIVE African American (and generally most other non-European) dolls go for *there*?
Europe = ??? the UK email contact function is down so I can’t enquire and um, I the only European language I can understand is English -_-’
So does anyone else know if the SiS dolls will be sold in Europe?
South America? Africa? Anywhere else? Antarctica?
Firstly, people of African descent don’t just live in the USA.
Secondly, people of African descent aren’t the only ones with “African-ish features” and dark skin. People of Indian/Desi, Melanesian, Polynesian, Australian Aboriginal and some South East Asians also have dark skin and some similar physical features. It would be great to see a better range of more diverse dolls to choose from, to show our kids who are of non-European ancestry that they are also being represented in popular culture and I’m getting impatient waiting around…
And you’d think that if individuals and small companies can utilise international postage, a large company such as Mattel should be able to do so too.
