Barbie was first introduced in the 1950s.

I think the left has been going after the Barbie child’s toy for about 40 or 45 years.

The left never gives up.

True. I have read that the original Barbie Doll was modeled after some kind of 'doll' that the Germans made for their troops, based on the idea of a perfect German woman. While I don't know if that's completely true, it is true that it was certainly based on some one's idea of a perfect female.

Maybe the reason she is so skinny was so the manufacturer could save on plastic.
