At nearly 60 years old, Barbie is getting a complete body make-over and we think its about time. After years of complaints that Barbie’s body is unrealistic and definitely not the”every woman” Mattel has come out with 3 new figures for our favorite blonde bombshell. In addition to the standard physique, the doll will also come in a petite, taller, and curvier version.
“Yes, some people will say we are late to the game,” Evelyn Mazzocco, head of the Barbie brand, told TIME. “But changes at a huge corporation take time.”
“Ultimately, haters are going to hate,” Richard Dickson told TIME. “We want to make sure the Barbie lovers love us more—and perhaps changing the people who are negative to neutral. That would be nice.”
