What do you think about the new Barbies?

[boujee]

It went from this:

To this:

I do still think it's nice for diversity but it still seems more for a older person. I was more concerned if Barbie would stay pretty if I threw her against the wall.

Angelica loved that thing even though it went into the sewer that one time...

she makes a really cute bride tho

Average barbie is not so average imo
Literally nobody I know looks like that
+ 19 year olds don't look like 40 year olds without makeup lmao

(Talking about the one in the time article)

Edit: do people actually aspire to be like barbie
i used to just rip them apart and throw tantrums when people gifted them to me cuz I never wanted them

They also made a game developer Barbie. She has super cool headphones.

Anyway American girl dolls will always be better and not totally ****ty like Barbie so idc much

i still think barbies overall are kinda stupid
but i guess it is great that they're finally adding more diversity into these popular dolls. i can't believe it took them 57 years to do this though.

the body types are different but i believe there have been different races before.

I never really expected little children to want to look like Barbie in the first place. She seems incredibly disproportionate to the point where she can't even stand on her own. I just grabbed them by their hair and swung them around like a helicopter propeller when I was younger.

I think the ones with flat feet can stand up. It's just the ones that stand on their tipy toes that cant stand. At least that's how mine where. I haven't seen any of the new barbies so I don't know if they're still like that.

I guess it's just my experience and the certain people I talked to but we never saw her as this thing we had to be. Other people may have viewed her differently though.

I knew quite a few girls who would say they wanted to look like Barbie when they grew up so it's definitely going to make a positive impact on some girls, and that's all that matters imo

Really? They have flat footed barbies? Now that's cool. They weren't flat around the time I played with them.

But once they became teenagers they wanted to look like the members from b.o.d.t.f

Yep! I don't know how long they've been around (at least ten+ years) but I remember when I was a kid they had this line of beach Barbie dolls and they all had flat feet. They were kind of like surfers. This is kind of what they looked like

I think it's quite unnecessary and I don't understand how the clothes would work.

It seems a great idea. Although I've never personally met someone who said they 'wanted to be like barbie' when they grew up, I can see where it might help other children.

i never played with barbies when i was little anyway. I'd buy them, throw them around a little and then they'd be tucked away somewhere never to be seen again

I think it's a step in the right direction, but also still kind of in need of improvement. I mean, the "curvy" barbie still has a thigh gap.

Not too bothered tho, I honestly never wanted to look like a barbie. I had like 10 and i was such a weird child. I'd undress them all and arrange them in a neat grid in the exact same yoga position. idek

 

[piichinu]

DO LITTLE KIDS ACTUALLY NOTICE THIGH GAPS???

 

[timecapsule]

I think it looks really really weird

Like the short curvy (whatever it's called) one looks... really weird.
Not a bad idea. It's pretty interesting.
