Frida Kahlo Barbie doll banned from shop shelves in Mexico; BBC, April 20, 2018

BBC; Frida Kahlo Barbie doll banned from shop shelves in Mexico

"A court has barred sales in Mexico of a controversial Frida Kahlo Barbie doll, ruling that members of her family own the sole rights to her image.
The toy company Mattel launched a range of new Barbie dolls based on "inspiring women" - artist Frida Kahlo among them.
But some of Kahlo's relatives said the manufacturer had used the painter's image without permission."
