Listen up yall because I have Some Shit to talk about.
As a plus size person, I’m fairly aware that walking into a toy store, there will be almost no representation of plus size people, but this recent campaign came up where these two amazing women are creating plus size dolls with POC representation and their Kickstarter just went live! They have an amazing idea that deserves to be recognised.
Their kickstarter campaign lists four dolls: Keiko, a smart Japanese girl who’s a robotics engineer, Quinn, a white mechanic who fixes cars, Aliah, an African woman who runs an animal sanctuary and Alex, a Mexican civil rights lawyer student. The co-founders created these dolls because of how Bridget wanted her daughter to see true representation in a world where “thin and skinny” is deemed as the perfect example of life.
The dolls are fully articulated, and the most recent prototype looks like this!
The Kickstarter offers both regular and premium dolls as well as dolls that are only for customising, too so there’s something for every toy collector or doll customiser who’s looking for more diverse representation of bodies. These dolls are looking to be absolutely gorgeous, plus they support LGBTQIA+ people too!
They have a tumblr account here at at @curvygirlsdolls as well as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook!
Here is what they’re advertising for regular dolls!
These are their premium dolls with extra outfits, accessories and beautifully designed concepts!
Please check them out, this is such an amazing step in body diversity in dolls and they’re fully articulated and beautifully designed. More information about their design can be found on their Kickstarter!
