Re: Barbie

[(Anonymous)]

I agree that Barbie is pretty dated at this point. Kids don't want generic dolls so much anymore as they want specific character dolls, like Elsa and such. Like Halloween costumes - fewer kids want to be generic "ghost", etc, they'd rather be a specific character. Barbie as a product absolutely has to constantly update itself in a world where commercialization of kids' toys is moving and changing faster than ever. Barbie needs to be appealing both to kids and to parents, and one way to do that is to remind people that Barbie still exists - so making headlines about being "progressive" (no matter how accurate that is) is a great way to do that.

Re: Barbie

To be fair, Barbie IS a character at this point (she has movies and such.) I think the problem is the Disney Princess lines and things like Monster High dolls have a lot more fun characters and accessories to them. Barbie is essentially the same thing over and over and over again. Occasionally she has "friends" but they were too few and far apart.

But yeah, they definitely did need to make a move either way.
