Not sure why anyone could complain because it could be considered racist if there was not a black option with dolls, figurines, etc.

 

According to my wife these images are Lakhorn "blackface" characters which seem (i'm guessing) to portray colourful, larger than life and rather "lucky" personalities.

 

Possibly derived from American "blackface" but co-opted by the Thai-who are nothing if not eclectic and synthetic in their approach to life.✌️
