Fat Barbie. She doesn’t get all the cool stuff. So she eats her stress. And sadness.
To: Vermont Lt
I wonder if she comes with the cats she will live with when she is in her thirties.
To: hawaiianninja
yeah because all young girls dream of having a plump body and struggle with weight their whole lives- this model should be a best seller for mattel-

Lol, and you know these barbies will sit on the shelves because no little girl wants to play with the fat doll.

Don’t laugh....the next version will not only include an anatomically correct Ken, but a Trap Barbie that has marshmallows up above and twig and berries below. Count on it!

When I was a girl in the late 1950s early 1960s Barbie was just a doll. None of my friends wanted to have Barbie’s figure. We just like the outfits and the cool accessories. It wasn’t until feminists came along did young girls and women tortured themselves to look like Barbie.

Somebody could make a fortune by creating the “Normal Doll”
I’m positive someone would complain.

I thought the idea was to increase the number of clothing sets sold. Mattel is already the largest manufacturer of women’s clothing, albeit for millions of women with identical builds who stand 11.5 inches tall.

Agreed. Little girls like dolls. It’s a simple thing, just as little boys like guns (although as a little girl I did have a red vest with white fringe vest and skirt, holsters and silver six guns with white grips, hat and red cowboy boots. I wanted to be either a cowgirl or an indian when I grew up.

Sometimes it doesn't pay to mess with a proven product.
New style Barbies aren't always a great success.
