Wow, I'm outraged, do they expect little girls to have this unreasonable height standards? I mean she is only 10.72 in. tall, ridiculous.

"Artist and researcher Nickolay Lamm..."
Did you miss the proportion comparisons?
Oh, that's interesting.

What about us men?
The average man can't compete with the size of Ken's junk.

You can buy your doll acne for $6? Suck it accutane!
She doesn't look ugly, just boring.

she should be more fit. Like with some muscle tone.

It is an ugly doll... it just is. I get the message but its still ugly, and terrible name.
That said good for them, and good luck selling it.
No. I don't consider a doll ugly. My point was:it's good to make a toy realistic, but it's a bit ridiculous to make it with all the shortcomings of a normal human body at different stages of its life. That's all.

instead of the hot pink Barbie convertible, does Lammily drive a burgundy Toyota Corolla with late lease payments?

Are we seriously criticizing the body of a doll designed to be closer to the standard/average body of a human?
Like, really?

I don't see anything wrong with providing ways for someone to customize their doll to make it look like they want it to. If a little kid gets a scrape on his/her arm and then wishes that their doll had one to match, they can do it. Stuff like that can mean a lot to a child.

The pimples aren't realistic.
There needs to be a huge one right above her lip.

I think our society plays down the physicality of women to a massive degree. "throw like a girl and punch like a girl" still exist. A new doll could go a way towards that.
Barbie was skinny but weak. This girl just looks normal sized and weak.

Surprised by a lot of the comments in this thread. GAF must have some kind of heroin-chic supermodel contingent that I wasn't aware of judging by how offended some of these posters are.
I don't see anything wrong with the doll. Yeah, it's plain, but it seems like a realistic depiction of an actual woman.
Do Barbie fans feel threatened by this?

Honestly, this doesn't look like cellulite, more like... dirt?

Or diarrhea.
Dirt is listed as one of the options on the site.

This is a pretty good idea, and is better than Barbie based on the image it presents to little girls.
She looks much more like a normal, healthy woman than Barbie.

I can relate.
Isn't that just a third nipple?

It happens to the best of us.
Those stretch marks are something else lol
I don't know. I don't wanna be too harsh with this, but it remembers me of the toys they give to children in a hospital after a trauma. Does it mean every other dolls are a pressure for children? Again, I don't know, and I don't have children myself.
But at least I think it's good they've got the choice between different body types.

What kind of name is Lammily? Sounds like the demon from Drag Me to Hell.
And I encourage the CAW-style approach to kids' dolls. Let them get every size and color variation under the son and decals/clothes for any kind of look.

I get the point, but obviously kids want an idealized comically perfect doll. When I was a kid, boys didn't want wimpy GI Joes and He-Mans. We wanted roided up ANIMALS.

Why is it one extreme to the other. Girls shouldn't be anorexic but it should not be ok to tell girls that being fat is A-ok either
That looks more like the plague than acne.
That's why most of us, don't sell good as action-figures and are properly not very popular with the kids.
Yes it hurts, that nobody wanted to buy the Metal B action-figure with semi-correct Karate-Kick..

Huh, indeed, I missed that part.
Personally, my fav figs as kids were those wrestling figures. I remember doing all sort of damage to them to make them look more badass, so I don't see nothing wrong with a toy that allows customization. My mother was always pissed when she saw those "broken" toys, but I loved them that way better, lol.
Do they? I always found the more outlandish toys far more interesting. Of course, I can't look into the mind of a little girl but I don't see nothing wrong with delivering options and the kids in the video were actually positive about the doll. "Looks like my sister" doesn't sound bad to me.
Lol, don't know why this made me laugh so hard.
Why isn't he balding?
