    I’m a 50-yr old Barbie girl. Growing up in the 80’s I was never traumatized by Barbie’s skinny body. I totally understood that Barbie was a doll. I was never traumatized by Strawberry Shortcake with huge heads and tiny bodies.

    I have noticed in my conversations with people who think that Barbie is a unrealistic body image tend to not realize the exact same arguments can be made for GI Joe. In fact you could argue GI Joe is worse as not only does he have a unrealistically muscular physique but he's trying to get you to join an occupation with a normally high mortality rate. The vast majority of Barbie's jobs involve her being in an air conditioned building in contrast.
    The people who claim Barbie is a controversial toy tend to be people who don't buy the product. They tend to be people who think a fat Barbie being in the market would somehow make them feel better about their own lives.

    The problem is kids don't use their imagination to play anymore. Tiktok, games, all technology driven now. That is what Barbie needs to do, is become an app. Create your Barbie, Ken, Skipper, corvette's, swimming pools, campers, dream houses, and build a city. Everything is virtual nothing is tangible.

      This. Moon Channel's made an amazing video going over the history of games and PC software made for girls and how that segment crashed in early 2000's because of the lack of quality control. He comes to the conclusion that's a huge market for games for girls/women, but only indies are catering to this audience, intentionally or not - as RDR2 is the very popular with horse girls.
      Mattel could make a life simulation game like The Sims, but with Barbie. The actual The Sims is full of microtransactions and DLCs, to the point you have to spend 1000+ just to have the complete experience. Nintendo justa announced a Princess Peach solo game, ans I wouldn't be surprised if it turns to be a smash hit, as Nintendo has a track record of making some of the best "girls" games back in the GBA era with the Hamtaro games.

    I grew up liking natural body types and natural features, Barbie NEVER made me covet slimness or thinness.

    Barbie never traumatized me, even as a mixed race person. Her white skin and blonde hair never bothered me. I thought she was so beautiful but I wasn’t jealous of her beauty. Barbie is a threat to insecure and jealous people. Barbie is an issue for people who compare themselves to others when they should be focusing on themselves. Barbie is a threat to people from unstable home lives where they are not taught good self esteem. It’s a doll. There is no difference Barbie and Cabbage Patch dolls 🤷🏽‍♀️ if Barbie offends you in anyway I recommend that you consider therapy 🤷🏽‍♀️😬

    If you ask doll collectors, prices for dolls in general are going up, but quality is going down, down, down. Imagine all the plastic that will end up in landfills from all those cheap quality Fashionistas. Mattel will no doubt pump out tons of Barbies given the popularity of the movie, but they too will be SUPER cheap.

If one was to look at the Halo ones, they would see how the ones from 2003-2007 were LEAGUES above what we have now, and it's sad because I love Halo. Looks like the only quality toys being mass produced anymore are Legos, and some others.

      I am a vintage Barbie collector and there have been Brunettes Barbie since 1960, Ponytails, Bubblecuts and American Girls up to 1966. In 1967 Mattel changed the Barbie looks to a more youth version in their TNT bodies to reflect the MOD era (Turn and Twist) and again Barbie was available in Brunette. in 1970 a TNT "Marlo Flip" was also released in Brunette. The only doll up to Late 70' the was not released in Brunette was "Malibu" Barbie and that's where I stopped collecting vintage as from this point on there was a drastic change in the presentation of the Doll and they no longer held the same interests I appreciated in the Nostalgic dolls. Quality declined dramatic. In 2000, I picked up collecting Barbies again during the release of The BMFC silkstone collection Up to 2008 when again, quality dropped dramatically. So, nowadays I still get some satisfaction in collecting Barbie with a new wave of nostalgic REPRO release in Silkstone. I collect what I like and appreciate and not what anybody else's is collecting. I still have the thrill to search and find missing pieces or complete Fashions from a long time ago and the Nostalgic Barbie will always have a Place in my Hart, it is a whole different ball game.
      In commemoration of Mattel's 75Th Anniversary Mattel released an Absolutely Stunning reproduction of a Barbie #1 in Silkstone Body. Another Favorite is the 2018 Release of Barbie "Busy Gal" This is a perfect example what a Ponytail #1 Brunette Barbie should alway look like. But Again, it is only my Humble Opinion.

    Barbie was "unrealistic" and "too skinny," but people kept buying her dolls and giving them to their daughters and relatives to play with. Why is that Barbie's fault? Why is Barbie a problem, but "unrealistic" and "overly muscular" male dolls like He-Man and G.I. Joe not also a problem? Truth is, you'd likely have to be anorexic with fake boobs to truly look like Barbie, and you'd have to be a steroid abuser obsessed with protein shakes and working out to look like He-Man. The fact that only one of them was ever demonized says a lot about our culture.

    lmao, I never understood the sexism and body image stuff. I'm 26, always loved my barbie (only had one - trans kid, yes we existed in the 90s) and saw myself in her even though she was called "California Girl" (I'm not american), was very tan (I am pale), had fully grown boobs (I wasn't even in puberty back then) and had coconut scented hair (who has that?). The only thing I had in common with her was being brunette. For a kid with imagination, that was enough. I lost her sadly due to life wanting me to "man up", but found her in original packaging on ebay. Now I have a bit of good childhood memory to keep forever. :)

      Because humans instinctively prefer to look at people and things we perceive as beautiful. If movie stars and dolls just looked the average American they wouldn’t sell as well.
      It’s why I never cared about the arguments regarding Barbie’s looks. One of reasons every Barbie & Friends dolls get popular because they are so pretty. Whining about fashion dolls being “unrealistic” is like whining that baby dolls are unrealistically cute because 90%+ of newborns are actually reddish, wrinkled-looking, squinting and have distorted looking heads due to being shoved through a birth canal.

With Leia changing saddles to Han, poor little Luke had no one to play kissy face with any more, so I got him a Barbie. Sure, she was twice his height, but Luke liked tall chicks better any way. Han never played kissy face with Leia quite as passionately after that... I often wonder if that is what caused their son to have such anger issues.

    I feel like the one thing that keeps Barbie going is her dedicated fan base who have stood by her for generations. Nothing lasts forever, but if the quality is there, the creativity is there and they continue to be innovative and inclusive, then Barbie will hopefully remain for generations to come.

    How do you make a video about the toy industry and don’t mention Lego? The biggest toy company in the world that also developed different lines based on different IP, has movies, and is also targeting adults with certain lines.
    Typical USA centric video and media outlet, completely forgets about any European company even when they are bigger and were doing all of this years before.

      @@alliwishis_2 and did you watch the video? Was it mostly about the dolls? Or was it mostly about the Mattel turn around strategy for their largest brand, comparing the company to competitors, talking about whether it is sustainable and if the movie will help or not? Lego has done all of those things and is larger than Mattel, while also taking a different approach to manufacturing. That is why this video, which is basically a business case, is incomplete without Lego.
