That is interesting. However, they don't look particularly Hebrew (if they were going for authenticity) or African-American (if they were trying to make dolls that young Black kids could identify with). They just look like dark-skinned dolls with Caucasian features, so I'm not sure what they were going for with making those two choices available.
Sort of. Mostly, they're not terribly great artistically (and poor photographs), so it's kind of hard to tell what they were going for. I'm not saying that they have a fully-realized multicultural vision going on, just that they made more of an effort than a lot of companies I've seen, especially religious ones. As a whole, it still gives me the heebie jeebies.
Tee hee
