But after years of concern & scorn about Barbie promoting unhealthy body images & unrealistic standards for the young females who played with the lots of versions of the doll, Barbie is a new woman. In 2000, Barbie gained a belly button & a wider waistline. Her waist also moved up in to a more natural position, ostensibly to make more modern fashions fit more appropriately, but some wonder if the changes are a long overdue response to criticism. Waistlines aside, Barbie games are still intensely popular with girls of all ages, & Barbie games have also gone online where they are reaching even more enthusiastic fans.

Realistic Barbie
Doctor, lawyer & killer flight attendant, Barbie has completed it all in four inch heels & tiny skirts. But now, after fifty years of controversy, Barbie has developed a new, thicker look. The original Barbie was designed on a scale of 1/6. This means the actual life Barbie would have been 5’9.” The proportions of Barbie, however, were entirely unrealistic. they would have had a 36 inch bust & 18 inch waist. Her original weight of 110 pounds would make her at least 35 pounds underweight for her height.

LITE-BRITE Flat Screen
Like the flat screen in your living room? Modern flat screen expertise has a broad reach & now you can enjoy flat screen expertise while you play along with your LITE-BRITE. Decades ago, LITE-BRITE took tiny colored pegs & backlit the designs you created through black paper with a standard light bulb. The set-up was huge, bulky, but lovely for hours of fun.

Today, you can use a boxy set-up or the new flat screen. in case you opt for the box, you now have four sides to choose from. Gone is the console style backing in lieu of a newly designed lit cube ready for your latest & greatest designs – four directly, that is. Or keep things compact, but opting for the flat LITE-BRITE in lieu. While it might not be HD, it’s definitely a step up from what they had a short generation ago.

But in addition to that, children paying with Matchbox cars have much more to do with their cars than they did a generation ago. If they were lucky, they were able to secure a track & possibly a ramp for our cars. All sound effects & aerial acrobatics were performed by the driver – you. Today, you can buy the basic die cast cars or you can branch out & buy the ones that make noise, play inspiring music, or run on their own. Accessories for the cars include elaborate cities, race tracks, & parks where cars can be levered or moved without your assistance. While most of the Matchbox cars stay true to the classic nature of the toy, in case you require a digital micro-car experience, it is available.

Matchbox Cars
You might have played with Hot Wheels or Matchbox, but the style of cars was the same. Tiny metal cars to collect, bury in the sandbox & leave painfully underfoot have been enjoyed be generations of vehicle fanatics. Today, the basics are the same, but the styles & accessories have been updated. Naturally, the cars produced today are indicative of the available auto lines produced the world over.
