Barbie Introduces New Body Types (Finally)

After years of complaints about Barbie’s unrealistic proportions, Mattel is now offering up a variety of new body shapes.

The moment every girl (and their moms) have been waiting for is finally here: A Barbie that actually looks like them. Mattel introduced three new (more realistic) body types for Barbie today: tall, petite and curvy, plus a ton of new hair textures and styles.

After facing some serious criticism for its super skinny, one-size-fits-all iconic doll, Barbie launched “Project Dawn,” a top secret movement to create different body types that reflect the new American beauty standards.

The new Barbies will be available online on January 28.
