Kmart Australia has released a range of dolls with disabilities, including ones that are blind, deaf, on crutches, in a wheelchair or have a bionic leg. The move has been celebrated by customers of the discount retailer, particularly those with disabilities themselves, as a 'refreshing' form of representation. A mother from Sydney posted a photo of the dolls in a Facebook group, saying she thought they were so 'neat' she had to share. 'Breaking the stereotypes... beauty is always associated with physical appearance so hats off to the designer of these dolls,' one woman said. The Our Generation dolls at Target offer a similar range of inclusive characters and accessories, but these toys start from $32.
