Still waiting for the first Barbie with an average face. But I guess as the manufacturer of pretty dolls, it’s impossible to satisfy all of those demands.

- obilgic 4y agoaverage as in not very pretty? so you have a definition of pretty and you are okay with it being the standard however just want an average faced doll? I wouldn't consider myself very knowledgable such as topics like these, so just curious about what the thinking is behind it.
- the_af 4y agoI think the parent poster means Barbie dolls that look more like regular people. Classic Barbie looks like a model.
- vestrigi 4y agoYes. I was trying to criticize that Barbie dolls hold up an unrealistic beauty standard while trying to be inclusive about disabilities, color or gender.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 4y agoI don't understand their comment. "Average" women are pretty imo. Do they mean below average?
- prvc 4y ago"Average" faces tend to be attractive, due in part to symmetry and lack of blemishes. If you mean "plain", however, I am sure you will soon get your wish. Although there are certainly many options available now, to obtain such a toy, if you don't insist on having that particular brand.
