Dolls come in all varieties in 2020.
Until fairly recently, most were tall, blonde and seriously skinny.
One new toy on the market, however, has caused a stir with shoppers as it strays so far from the norm.
Dingalong Real Pregnant Doll Suit Mum Doll and Dress, complete with belly bump and unborn child, is available on Amazon.
The plastic mum-to-be, priced at £3.89, has divided opinion among parents, Manchester Evening News reports.
A baby doll sits inside a detachable stomach cap, that fits under the doll's roomy maternity dress.
A picture of the doll has seriously divided shoppers on Facebook, after it was shared on a popular shopping page.
One disgusted shopper wrote: "Think this is so wrong. Why do little girls need to know about reproduction, let kids be kids!
"I can understand maybe getting this for your child if you were pregnant and trying to explain to your child, but other than that, no just nooo!"
Somebody else slammed: "Too far."
A third critic wrote: "No wonder girls are getting pregnant from a very young age, they are making this a fashion statement. Let kids grow up naturally like we all did, they are learning from a young age in schools anyway which is not right so why glamourise it??"
"This doll takes the innocent out of little girls," vented a fourth.
One shopper admitted: "I initially looked and said omg but then bought it because my little girl will be over the moon with this."
"Need this," said somebody else.
If you like it, buy it. If not, nobody's forcing you. Each to their own, shoppers!
