The latest generation of black Barbie dolls is a little over-the-top in relying on hip-hop stereotypes, according to some reviewers.
Mattel describes the dolls as having "fuller lips, a wider nose, more distinctive cheek bones and curlier hair" than their predecessors.
The plastic dolls part of Mattel's "So In Style" line that comes out next week feature "shiny bling, big earrings and fancy sneakers," according to the Daily News, which rounded up decidedly mixed reviews on Grace, Kara and Trichelle.
