In January, two moms launched a Facebook movement to push toymaker Mattel to create a bald Barbie to emotionally comfort children who lost their hair from cancer treatment, affected by alopecia or dealing with a parent with cancer.
But it was MGA Entertainment who responded best. They launched a line of dolls called “True Hope” Bratz®, Moxie Girlz™, and Moxie Boyz™Dolls, and have received a resounding amount of support from the public.
Little details matter, says MGA’s Susan Hale. All of these dolls, for instance, do not have eyebrows since most cancer patients lose theirs. Wigs are also not included with the dolls, nor are they available as separate accessories. “We want to show that you don’t have to have hair to be beautiful,” says Hale.
The dolls are available to purchase at Toys “R” Us and $1 from each will be donated to City of Hope Cancer Foundation.
