3. Black Canary Barbie
There are two sides to every person and Barbie let us know that her girl-next-door persona was too good to be true in 2008, as Black Canary Barbie. The doll was featured wearing fish net stockings, a leather jacket and darker makeup than she normally wore. Moms dubbed this doll as the S&M Barbie and felt Black Canary Barbie was much too inappropriate for children. Some parents believed that the doll encouraged young girls to grow up too quickly. The doll did not sell well, given the criticism and sexual image (as you might have assumed).
