Gone are the days of the long and stereotypical blue-eyed blonde barbie dolls because the old barbie dolls were given a little make over. The iconic doll is now available in three new body types, tall, petite and of course, curvy.
Mattel, the manufacturer of best-selling dolls has announced the new
looks of the dolls on Thursday. Ending the 56-year-old tradition of
unrealistic beauty of barbie dolls.
The new sets of dolls will be joining the Barbie's Fashionista line that
will be featuring four body types that will have seven skin tones, 22
eye colors and 24 hairstyles. They claim that this is an acknowledgement
for some that women really comes in different sizes and shapes!
"Barbie reflects the world girls see around them. Her ability to evolve and grow with the times, while staying true to her spirit, is central to why Barbie is the number one fashion doll in the world," Mattel President and CEO Richard Dickson stated.
Richard Dickson also stated that they claim that they have a responsibility to every girl out there.
