Please, Barbie was originally designed as a joke for adult males. This is barely new territory for her. And some of these little girls' mothers may look and dress like this latest version. Most motorcycle owners are professionals that have to make a decent wage to afford their bikes. Also if this is modeled after a DC comic it'll probably be a big hit with collectors of that genre.

It's racy, true, but then parents can leave it on the shelves and not buy it.

Mattel - please reconsider this distasteful faux pas. There is so much more Barbie could be - not this.

Yes, there's so much more Barbie can be. I mean, why would we want her, and through her, possibly, girls to emulate a strong female character like the Black Canary, who stands up for what's right and is portrayed as just as tough and strong as any male hero?

I mean, a POSITIVE role model? Cheryl's right, we can't have that. :)

The combination of the Black Canary's courage, fighting prowess, and her sex appeal (accentuated by her characteristic fishnet stockings) has resulted in her being referred to as "The Blonde Bombshell."

Kidnapped, Black Canary was tortured (despite popular belief, she was not raped according to series writer Mike Grell[1]), before being rescued by Green Arrow. The physical and mental effects of this experience were severe: Dinah's vocal cords were mutilated, resulting in the loss of her Canary Cry; She required extensive counseling afterwards, as did Oliver Queen. Simultaneously, she and Green Arrow would have major conflicts in their relationship. Among other things, she would learn Green Arrow fathered a son, Robert, with Shado (though Shado had drugged him beforehand), as well as taking money from the business (Black Canary #1). The relationship would end when Dinah walked in on Green Arrow kissing her florist shop assistant, Marianne.

n Frank Miller's All-Star Batman and Robin #3, drawn by Jim Lee, the Black Canary's name is derived from the seedy bar she works in; the clothes she wears while tending the bar comprise her costume. The male patrons of the bar relentlessly harass her verbally. Deciding that she has finally had enough, Black Canary beats up all of the male patrons in the bar. When her boss asks her what got into her, she simply replies "Batman," and then leaves the scene on a motorcycle stolen from one of the men she has just battered.

These are taken from her the wikipedia page on her. Does this look like the kind of super hero comic little girls should be reading about? Didn't think so. The doll is inappropriate more for who she is an image of then the clothes...

Yes! It so much better if the barbie is a "model" or maybe a "Mcdonalds drive thru worker". How about maybe a "Happilly married barbie"?


Thats right girls- even YOU can grow up to be a bulimic twig, a high-school drop out no-life, or even a stay at home mom that does nothing but cook and drive her kids places! :)

If a plastic doll with big boobs is your child's roll model(or yours for that matter who knows) then you have more serious issues than complaining about wtf barbie is wearing

lol no... didn't you hear... ken turned gay and ran off with GI Joe because Barbie wouldn't give it up... she was too busy with her "career's"... could this be a desperate attempt to get him to come back to her?

People need to grow up. If you don't want it, don't buy it. Stop being self righteous and deciding what's best for me...

Gimme a break, the doll looks goth/punk/biker babe. I see no "nipple clamps" or whips or anything else "sexually suggestive". People need to get their minds out of the gutter

you may not see it as sexually suggestive and maybe people are making that part up....but can you honestly say that you would let your daughter dress like that? and if you wouldn't....then how is letting their favorite toys dress inappropriately any better? it gives kids ideas....whether we like it or not...

It's a Super Hero. Get over it. Don't want your kids playing with it? Don't buy it for them! It's that simple.
