She's now going to be paying closer attention to her daughter's toys.

"You never know what your kids are going to come across, " Rose said. "I was shocked. I've bought these for several years for holidays and had no idea that I need to pay more attention to the dolls and things that I buy her. You just don't know what you're getting for your kids when you go to the store."

The company that makes the dolls posted a caption on its Instagram saying: "Yes, our boy characters are anatomically correct.
