Actually, the accusation that Barbie was created to make little girls seek an unattainable body image has always bugged me. She was built that way because the original Barbie clothes were well made clothes with actual waist bands and seams and such, and if they didn't give her a tiny waist she would have a muffin top once dressed -- and the original Barbie was sold as a "fashion model".
But it seems that lots of women find original Barbie's body to be a problem so why not change it? It's not like she's a statue in Rome, she's a doll. A doll whose sales were flat-lining.
