"Most fashion dolls on the market are dressed like princesses or wear funky outfits," Lamm told HuffPost. "I wanted Lammily to wear clothes that Gap or J. Crew might design. There's no reason why simple everyday clothes design can't be transferred to doll clothes."http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/05/normal-barbie-kickstarter-nickolay-lamm-lammily-doll_n_4826502.html
Oh she looks much better than her first rendition. I agree variation is great! I hope they don't really mean it when they say she's going to only dress in "normal" clothes like GAP. She's never to wear anything goth, steampunk, never in clothing from the middle ages, princess, wild west and so on? I guess I don't like the implication that liking things like that isn't normal. Oh... I guess I'm referring to a slightly different article.Quote"Most fashion dolls on the market are dressed like princesses or wear funky outfits," Lamm told HuffPost.

Looks nice, though I'm not sure how much it really matters what dolls look like. I think it's the real life people that mostly affect kids and their body picture.
It will have the same problems as trying to make a "normal" toy for boys by eliminating themes like space warriors, dinosaur hunters, alien robots and so on. Instead they'd get a regular man wearing gap clothes. That might work for little boys and girls. Playskool range. But I think older kids want themes that inspire them.
eta: to clarify, her proportions are fine. That's not the problem. The problem is more with her image: will she stand out among the competition?
Material things are rarely the most important thing, but that doesn't make them unimportant, y'know?
