The latest initiative is the second rollout from Mattel's #ThankYouHeroes program, which works to honor essential workers amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Previously, Mattel debuted a Fisher-Price line of action figures depicting nurses and delivery drivers, among others, as well as a five-character Little People "Community Champions" collection, which included a doctor and a grocery store worker, as well as other essential workers.
Net proceeds for a limited time from those lines are going to #FirstRespondersFirst, an initiative that provides first responder healthcare workers with resources including essential supplies, child care, and mental health support.
Lisa McKnight, senior vice president and global head of dolls at Mattel, said of the new Barbie #ThankYouHeroes program: "We know this generation is hyper-aware of what is happening right now as they chalk sidewalks, make signs, and lean out windows to cheer each night to thank our front-line workers. We want to do our part to give back and inspire today’s kids to take after these heroes one day."
