For those of us who grew up playing with the doll, Barbie, I feel compelled to clarify the assumptions from some of the comments.
Barbie was the inspiration for Mattel co-founder Ruth Handler's creation from the replica of a German doll that ceased production after Mattel bought the copyright.
It may have acquired the image of one but Barbie definitely isn't a stereotype. She was intentionally created as a role model with the idea and possibility that a girl has choices, and could grow up to be whatever it is she wants without conforming to societial stereotypes.
Barbie has brought enjoyment and sparked the imagination of children worldwide, and is a collectors item for both children and adults. She's been represented in the image of girls from different races, nationalities, lifestyles and personalities such as Barbra Streisand, Diana Ross, Farrah Fawcett and J.k. Rowling, as well as been the muse of various artists.
Barbie is a cultural icon, and has been given honours that are rare in the toy world. In 1974, part of Times Square in New York City was renamed Barbie Boulevard for a week. The Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris at the Louvre held a Barbie exhibit in 2016.

Barbie dolls give young girls unreal expectations of themselves. Her legs are out of proportion to the rest of her body, her hair too blonde, her smile too perfectly white, her breasts too pert and big for her frame. It really disgusts me. I would never call any child of mine Barbie.
