It's hard to get a sense of scale, but I look at the first one and see a toy. Barbie once had a
pregnant friend, but it got enough complaints (even though the character was "married," husband sold separately) that it was pulled from shelves.
Quote:
"Most girls want to be like Barbie" or her friends, said Kenya Williams, 29, buying a life-sized baby doll and another gift for daughters Alexis, 9, and Kiera, 7. "Maybe if they would have put them all together as a family, it might be a little different, but alone it sends out the wrong message."
