"Totally Stylin Tattoos Barbie"

Better name would be "Tramp Stamp Barbie", or "I'm Soooo Drunk Barbie"

"Parents in the US are furious over fashion doll Barbie's latest reinvention, which sees her covered in tattoos.

Mattel says the tattoo Barbie lets children express themselves and be creative".(quoted from here)

 

To me, Mattel looks like they're making a really bad move; they look very desperate. Sad, and Sad for the kids. Sad for Parents or Grandparents who would buy this.
