Radical Change: Barbie Doll Gets Contemporary Woman Look

After much criticism about the unreachable aesthetic standard of the Barbie doll, it seems that Mattel, the brand responsible for its production, decided to change some things into one of the most famous toys in the world.

To be sure, if Barbie were a real woman, she wouldn't be able to walk, wouldn't have room for a liver, and her gut would only have to measure a few inches. The new version, however, features different heights, weights, skin tones and hair, as well as a more comprehensive and contemporary style.

The project, which was kept secret until its release, is the biggest transformation the doll has ever received in 57 years! Check out:
