kind of a lot sexier than the unsexy little chubby one.
The drama here is that she kind of has a waist, and for the part of her leg that's showing, her legs are longer and the knees are more realistically shadowed, so they kind of look a little sexier. In the cartoon world, and the toys, there are figures of things like Barbie and comic book heroes like She-Ra that sort of resemble a real person (I know they are distorted too), and then they made these big-head, rather UNrealistic looking people. part of me wants to say, she just looks more like a person than a doll in the cartoons. A lot of the update on this is, as said above, "they changed it, now it sucks."Īs for Rainbow Brite. But then again, if you had a real horsey, a lot of the fascination for someone without a horse of their own, would probably be to brush it a lot. They were pink and purple and you could brush their hair. Back in my day! little girls played with plastic realistic looking horses, and the invention of My Little Pony in general was kind of a step back. But if this post is making any comment on that, it's that the problem is so prevalent our alarms are over-piqued and we're less able to clearly define what's acceptable than we used to be and that is frightening on a whole new level. I don't deny that the early sexualization of little kids is an issue, and a quickly growing one. And Candy Land just seems to be playing up the fantasy thing more. I like the new ones, like others have already said they look more active and playful than their predecessors. Not because she appears too thin, but because perhaps there should be at least SOME remaining fat girls for little kids to look up to, right?īut the ponies? Come on. And I also see her weight loss as kind of problematic. I think what you're calling "sexualizing" is what I would call "sophisticating" her, if I'm allowed to make up words, or aging her you could say there's a problem there, that little girls want to grow up too fast. Rainbow Brite I can see where you're coming from - she was a youthful, chubby little girl and now seems to be a pretty teenager.
This one's a pretty big stretch, methinks.
