    I'm not sure how I feel... obviously the original Barbie is way too skinny, but the new Barbie seems oddly proportioned to me. I think it will just take some getting used to!

    Personally, I don't like it. But I'm a Barbie loyalist. I like her just they way she is, but I never saw her for more than what she is. A fashion doll.

    When ever I see the new Barbie I can't help but think of a depressed middle-age divorced woman. It's sad.

    This is not actually a redesign... this was a private artist making a statement.

    http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/07/09/barbie-meet-average-barbie/

    "Average Barbie, who has not been endorsed by Mattel, is modeled off body measurements of a normal 19-year-old American girl using data from the CDC. "


    Still, I like it better.

    I think it's terrible! Dolls aren't supposed to look like real people, they're toys. Her head is huge in comparison with her body because a huge head is doll-like. Her body is very long in comparison with her huge head because a long body is more fun to play with (you can get the clothes on easier, and all sorts of things like that).

    The original designers of Barbie dolls, which no doubt included plenty of women on the design teams throughout the decades, weren't looking to design a doll in order to oppress women or make anyone feel bad about themselves - they were trying to make a doll that kids would want to play with! If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    If someone develops self-esteem problems because of playing with Barbie dolls... well, they are probably too old to be playing with dolls to begin with. Self-esteem issues may be among the least of their problems.

    The "new/average" Barbie doesnt look the same. Her face is different...

    And what is with the stupid thigh gap??????????????? That is not "average"

    This just in: Ken breaks up with new Barbie.

    That "new Barbie" is not official and is not endorsed by Mattel. It's a creation by an artist who used data from the CDC for the average measurements of teenage girls and created a more realistic body shape to contrast with original Barbie.
