As a typically white doll with unrealistic proportions, some parents thought barbie was sending the wrong message about there are people who turned away from barbie because they wanted dolls that more resembled themselves, more in terms of their body type and more in terms of their skin tone. Mattel recently introduced 23 new dolls with different skin tones and hair colors. Now, theyre adding three new body types, curvy, tall and petite. They were introduced to a group of 4 and 5 years old. They dont look like barbie. The girls immediately noticed some of the changes. Some of them have brown skin and different skin. The new body type was not one of them. Why did you choose her . Because my favorite color. The next step for mattel is changing parents perceptions. Barbie sales were down 14 marking the 8th great quarter of declining sales. None of them talk about her body type. And Different Things like that.
