Barbie did a collaboration with the National Down Syndrome Society to develop this lovely addition to the Fashionistas line.
I've been excited to add this girl to my shelves ever since we first saw promo pics of her.
I got mine from Amazon:

She is currently sold out, which makes me happy, because it means she's doing well.
Target also has a listing (also sold out):
The new cardboard Fashionistas packaging is easy to open.
She's so adorable!
These are called ankle foot orthotics (AFOs).
I'm not saying much, because I've been planning on putting this link here:

This is a great article on how much work and research went into this doll. She has a completely new face and body sculpt, designed with input from a medical professional.
I absolutely love her and she got an excellent spot on my Fashionistas shelf, beside some of my faves.
