Mattel has been doing this since forever.
Ever seen a naked G.I. Joe or Ken doll?
Well, the dolls weren’t anatomically correct, but you still could tell that Ken was a guy.
And we knew Ken was Barbie’s boyfriend.
I think they are intentionally creating dolls which give us no clue as to whether they are male or female. They are making their political statement.
G.I. Joe was made by the toy company Hasbro
G.I. Joe and Ken were minus their firehoses. Didn’t seem to matter.
