Bald 'cancer Barbie' doll to debut in 2013

Image

The US maker of the famous Barbie franchise will release a doll next year that is bald in support of children who have cancer and lose their hair in treatment, a Mattel spokesman said Tuesday.

The decision to launch the new doll, which Mattel described as "a friend of Barbie," was made after a massive Facebook appeal drew over 157,000 supporters to the cause of urging the doll-maker to consider a version for sick kids.

The hairless dolls will come with an assortment of wigs, hats, scarves and head coverings and will be available for donation and distribution in early 2013, Mattel said.

I think it should be sold in the stores, and not just a special item.
