Rather difficult for children to perhaps live up to that standard, eh Mattel? Hmmmmmm?
A disturbing chart that converts the doll's body scale into a real-life human being's reveals the outrageous proportions that transforms her into something out of a Sci-Fi movie.
Starting from the top down, Barbie's head would be two inches larger than the average American woman's while resting on a neck twice as long and six inches thinner. From these measurements she'd be entirely incapable of lifting her head.
Her 16-inch waist would also be four inches thinner than her head, leaving room for only half a liver and a few inches of intestine.
