Big Barbie

[Mark M]

Barbie’s maker Mattel is dragging itself into the 21st century with a new line of dolls intended to reflect the modern world – but the internet is having very mixed feelings about it.
Often criticized for a portrayal of women focusing on white, tall, and disproportionately thin dolls, Mattel has introduced three new body types for its most famous creation – curvy, tall, and petite.

I wish i could post images but don't know how. Can anyone find some pictures?

I heard the big Barbie has a tripple chin. Overkill.

Thank you. I heard there was a fat one with a triple chin. I saw it online but I can't post pics. Gosh I didn't know they had so many!

You're welcome.

It looks like they are trying to make them look more like your everyday Josephine rather than little mini models.

They should make Politically Correct Barbie. Then that way people can feel stupid.

I might not be too popular in this, but dolls that look like real people have always been more appealing to me when I was a kid.

Agreed. As a little girl I loved baby dolls. As I grew older my favorite doll was modeled in shape on a young girl. We sewed and crocheted clothes for our dolls and treated them with TLC. Barbie came along when my girls were little. They loved their Barbies and as we could afford it we bought them accessories. We eventually bought them Ken dolls but they didn't really include them in the play very much. If I had purchased an "odd" doll, they would have left it in their toy box.
I wonder how the young girls of today look at these varietal incarnations of Barbie?
