(Seriously, check out some of the produced Lammily dolls, they have fashion that is.

Barbie has a history of providing empowering toys for kids, and even though they could do MORE to be progressive, I feel like comparing the entire company's storied history to one creepy dude's fakeass attempt at a 'plus sized' white doll, which ended up looking pretty unappealing and cheap once it went to production, is a little unfair.

(Hasbro's 'who needs Rey toys?' debacle much?) Making a plus size doll seems like a foregone conclusion, but the fact that they not only have the plus size dolls AND a strong blend of racial diversity is a huge point in their favor. There's also a much longer history of plus-sized and body-positive dolls than Lammily, and all of them were much better made and founded by women!Īlthough I agree with the idea that Barbie could and should embrace more body diversity, the fact remains that as a whole, the company is far more progressive than a lot of toy companies. He literally said, 'Barbie is unappealing to me, a straight adult man, so I'm going to remake the doll to be what I think is appealing in women and name it after myself, but girl-ified.' It's kind of a huge kerfuffle in the doll-collecting community, because he's SUCH a jerkoff! It's basically like 'Body Shaming: The Doll.' Or maybe 'Egomania: the doll!' He's gone on to harass critics of the doll in comments sections (who the frick does that after the age of 14!!! Myspace is over, dude!!), and is just overall a total creep with a half-assed, poorly constructed concept of a doll. IDK if I agree with this post! You should know that the person who made Lammily is actually a pretty-sexist dude, last name of Lamm. Here's hoping for a round two of Fashionistas with actual articulation.

If we were talking about dolls with fixed sculpted 'clothes' we'd be in an entirely different ballgame though.īut yes, gross internet troll reactions are gross.Īnd to anyone who thinks that these are a step in the right direction (also important: more skin tones and actually different face sculpts, not just white Barbie who spent too long in a tanning booth), I highly recommend speaking with your wallet and buying one for a child in your life (or, you know, your own or someone else's inner child), as that will encourage Mattel to do more along these lines. so, while Barbie's proportions are very exaggerated (legs, anyone?) They're not as terrible once you take the clothing into account. Doll clothing fabric isn't magically proportionally thinner than our clothes fabric, it's usually the same stuff, meaning that an invisible seam on our clothes is extremely bulky on a doll scale. I'm actually not perturbed at all by Barbie's thin waist it's basically necessary for a fashion doll to have a tiny waist for clothing to fit in a way that resembles the clothed look of a much larger waisted woman. The clothes options for Lammily always leave me thinking 'um is shapeless bag the best option you can come up with for a larger body size? Really?' My favorite part of the new Barbie Fashionistas is that they actually keep the fashion part of 'fashion doll' no matter the size, each doll is wearing something genuinely cute and flattering.
