FULLA DOLL REFLECTS MUSLIM VALUES
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulla_(doll)
- Fulla is the name of an
11½ inch Barbie-like
fashion
doll marketed to children of Islamic and Middle-Eastern countries as an alternative to
Barbie. Fulla appeared in stores in late 2003.[1] Fulla
was created by a UAE
manufacturer from Dubai.
Although there had been many other dolls in the past that were created with a hijab, such as Razanne and
Moroccan Barbie, none of them had ever been as popular as Fulla.[2]
Fulla is a role-model
to some Muslim people, displaying how many Muslim people would
prefer their daughters to dress and behave.[3] In
September 2003 the Middle Eastern country of Saudi Arabia outlawed the sale of
Barbie dolls, saying that she did not conform to the ideals of Islam. Fulla was
created as an alternative for Barbie. Fulla was designed to promote Muslim
values and be a role model for Muslim girls worldwide, whereas Barbie is
targeted to Americans.[15]
Fulla has no male companion[11]
whereas Barbie has Ken.
