One curvy body out of four? I guess it's better than nothing.
Not sure what you mean. There's 4 body types, 7 skin tones, 22 eye colors, 24 hairstyles, with all the combinations possible. This wasn't about making Plus Size Barbies.
That third body type IMO is NOT "Plus Size Barbie". It's normal size Barbie. I was hoping the company would move away from rail thin, thigh gap, Barbie. And more towards "real" body sizes. I'm not saying Obese Size Barbie or Cankle Legs Barbie. Just more proportional with reality and still attractive. Barbie already sells diifferent skin tones, eye colors and hairstyles on dolls so that was a non-story for me. For me, what got my attention, was the curvy/normal body type Barbie.
