Realism incorrect?

An Australian mother has criticised a toy company for 'exaggerating' facial features on its black dolls but not on its 'white' ones, before praising Kmart for its diversity range.

Jean, who blogs under @Jeanchronicles on TikTok, shared a video of 'anatomically correct' Miniland Dolls she found in a toy shop that had the offending larger lips, a larger nose and longer forehead on its darker dolls.

'This is what buying black dolls in Australia is like,' she captioned the post, which has 3,000 comments on it at the time of writing.

Many told Jean to try and buy a doll from Kmart, which also offers a diverse range of dolls to its customers

The Kindred Folk dolls are $16 each and have their own names, like Ollie and Ruby.

Since being posted the clip has racked up a staggering 6.1million views and thousands of comments from Australians praising the retailer's inclusivity.
