The stickers are going a bit too far, but I think she's cute.

The doll's proportions look fine to me. The stickers are just weird though.
I never had an issue with Barbie's proportions though. They were cartoonishly exaggerated, just like we cartoonishly exaggerate everything for children.
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
The stickers are a bit strange to me personally, but the doll itself looks great to me. Granted I'm no doll expert
People need to learn to pick their battles more wisely. Barbie is harmless, though I do think it's unnecessary how her waist is a fraction of what it was in the 60s-80s.
I think shit like Nickelodeon being reluctant to produce Korra because the bigwigs didn't think a girl could star in an action cartoon is more problematic, but luckily, those assholes had to eat those words.
The stretch marks look gross. But also, most women will end up with their stripes at some point. Which is majorly stressful in terms of body image for many of those same women.
I think it's kinda cool but like also a failure. Not sure it is really a "toy" so much as a statement most kids won't really have context for, imo. So really no point in making a doll for 40 year women with three kids and stretch marks on their butt, stomach and boobs. We know already.
I feel like people really want to hate this doll, due to pop culture fueled cognitive dissonance, but that it's so harmless a product that nobody knows how to even begin with it. (Which is probably why it smashed it's kickstarter goals and sold out well into the new year).
Always thought dolls looked creepy as a kid just staring at you with their soulless eyes but seriously never put much thought into it. This issue with Barbie is really more about butt hurt adults than kids.
