Mattel unveils first-ever Barbie doll with Down's Syndrome in historic launch

Toy company Mattel has unveiled its first-ever Barbie doll with Down's Syndrome, an important moment for representation in the brand's history.

The brand consulted with the USA's National Down's Syndrome Society (NDSS) to design the doll, their first with an intellectual disability.

The new toy will form part of the company's Fashionistas range, and the £13.99 toy is available to pre-order from today (April 25).
