In
1997, Mattel produced a wheelchair-using Barbie doll called Becky.
The original could not fit through the Barbie Dream House front door,
and her hair was so long it got caught in the wheelchairs
wheels. Mattel
adjusted Becky, making her wheelchair smaller and her hair shorter.
The new and improved Barbie was in high demand and flew off the
shelves in less than two weeks.Despite the reworked Becky
Barbie doll, she could not fit into the Dream House’s elevator….how
ironic…housing for people with disabilities that is not
accessible.Mattell stated in the future they intended on
making changes to the Barbie house designs, but instead they later
rejected the doll and discontinued Becky along with wheelchair-racing
Paralympic Becky.
