GLOBAL HEAD, DESIGN & FASHION OF BARBIE DOLLS AT MATTEL, KIM CULMONE said "Creatable World comes with a range of accessories that are all designed in order to create a gender inclusive doll line. So that means that there are some clothes that are more feminine presenting, some clothes that are more masculine presenting, and then the kids can combine them and put them together in any way that they want to."

Creatable World features six different dolls of varying skin tones and each comes with two hairstyle options and a variety of outfits.
