New barbie doll design?! What do you think?

Which is the new one?
( you can tell i had a deprived childhood and never played with dolls.)

I love the booty on the shorter one.

yuppp she's been doing her squats.

I actually like it and think it was way overdue.

Sorry, for some odd reason I cant in my right mind figure out how to post an image...

Like or pass?

I like her haha

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.

the new barbie is sexy!

Looks like she could birth an Eriksen baby.

Love It!

Lets just make a barbie for every body type.

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

"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.

New Barbie has eerily similar body to mine... freaked out a little.

Looks like she could birth an Eriksen baby.

Nah, too short!

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.

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.
