Bald Barbie Games

Isn’t it great that there are so many new bald dolls around? Mattel  has created new bald dolls at the request of many individuals who signed a petition requesting the bald fashion dolls. The hope is that the bald dolls make young cancer patients more comfortable with their own hair loss by playing with bald Barbie games instead of the dolls with long, flowing locks. Of course, the bald Barbie games aren’t just for the cancer victims themselves, they are also perfectly suitable for little girls without cancer as well.

Cancer is sadly still very much a part of our culture, and it’s likely that every little girl will brush up against someone with cancer at some point in their formative years. By playing with the bald Barbie dolls, they are able to see that’s it’s not so odd when a woman loses her hair and, in fact, playing with a bald Barbie isn’t so very far removed from playing with any friend or family member who may have lost her hair.

Bald Barbie Games!


Mattel has made it official. After being petitioned on Change.org, the manufacturer of Barbie games has decided to produce a bald doll. This is not actually a bald Barbie doll, herself, but rather a bald friend-of-Barbie who will make the Barbie games that much more exciting for young girls to play. The bald Barbie games are designed to reflect the “bald and beautiful” appearance of young girls and the family members of young girls who are currently undergoing cancer treatments or other medical conditions that result in hair loss.

The bald Barbie games are part of the True Hope series of dolls that Mattel is making to help support cancer awareness and the treatment of the disease. The bald Barbie games will be joined by bald Bratz games and bald Moxie girls games as well. The end result will be a group of bald fashion dolls who are just as pretty as the one with hair, but they will help to represent a better portion of society as well.
