Yeah, Barbie is having a Mattel sponsored affair, jilting Ken out of all
those years he’s been hoping she’d be his alone. I guess she was not liking
him so much any more. That really is a GREAT message to deliver to kids,
hmm?
That is a big bad change, in my opinion.
Other than that, Barbie’s female proportions became a little less
Goddess-like in the last few years, her doe-like eyes shrank a bit and she
grew a belly button. Those things I can live with, and most Barbie fans will
agree.
Dumping Ken was not a great idea, in a world where it is all to common to
find mom’s leaving for a man with less viagra needs or family baggage. Kids
used to be able to retreat into that perfect family Barbie world.
Now they have to turn to the Family line with Midge.

The point is not about changing Barbie. The point is that the Mattel company
doesn’t have representatives in an online site for the adult Barbie fan
community. The point is that only LEGO has Jake, and takes the adult fan
seriously.
