"Totally amoral" is how Child Psychologist Doctor Michael Carr-Gregg describes the move by Mattel.
Mattell's Barbie franchise has been undermined by the success of the worldly-wise BRATZ range of dolls.
"Fishnets stockings... it's going too far," he says. "It's really outrageous."
Doctor Carr-Gregg says the barometer for these kinds of things is would you wear what the doll is wearing to work? "I call on all the Sunrise family to boycott this toy."
Will you boycott this toy or do you think it is not as "outrageous" as the Doctor says?
