I had that one. Mine had blonde hair. I don't think mine was one of the original Barbie's though. I think the originals looked like this:

This one ^^ came out in 1959, a few years before I got my Barbie. My older cousin had this one.

Yeah, I wasn't entirely sure--the info came from my cousin who sometimes liked to brag. :p
 
I think it's a conspiracy. Obviously Mattel's plastic supplier is hurting since the M-16 went out of production. Gotta spike demand somehow--especially since Mattel insists on making Hot Wheels out of metal.

Not for me...

I agree it probably could use a little trimming to come in line with the average woman. Of course, my conception of the average woman could be completely wrong.

WTF is wrong with "ordinary human sized" anyway? it either has to be unrealistically and unhealthily tiny, or unhealthily large. Are Americans really that afraid of simple plain REALITY or what? No, I wouldn't buy this for a daughter anymore than I would buy the other one. I would buy a daughter a 'normal,' 'realistic,' and 'human' sized one, but apparently "real" is the only size we mundanes aren't allowed to have.

I'm sure you've seen the debt + unfounded liabilities. I'd say the average American is pretending that REALITY isn't real.

At least, no heterosexual man before the early-'80s. That seems to be when the fashion industry started bombarding us with the "you should be into skinny heroin-heads" messages. I'm tellin' ya, it's a soft-kill tactic. Get us to mate with women who are incapable of bearing more than two or three kids and ostracize big, fertile women so we'll become genetically weaker, skinnier, and less fertile over time. Dammit, where's Alex Jones on this subject when we need him?
 
Said the heterosexual man who has standards, who isn't desperate enough to bed down with any gal who would have him.

Au contraire, I have very strict standards. They just happen to be analagous to those of an amusement park. Must be this big to ride!

Yeah , I remember those .
 
Voted no, not because I like either super thin or fat barbie but I rather have my daughter looking up to the skies than looking down in the gutter. Also, dont dismiss issue by just saying "its just a doll". That same doll influences the minds of millions of girls that play with it.

If I had a kid, I will also make sure they stay the hell away from fat barbie and loser sponge bob.
 
id buy the fatty barbie if my daughter wanted it. but id also expect some real cars for real people to so barbie can be more real. id like a barbie 2000 pontiac grand am, complete with shitty idle hesitation and random non working lights and blinkers. also maybe a rusted out mini van with shit door hinges.
