Once when I was a kid, I asked my parents for a Barbie set, as I’d had a lot of fun playing with Barbie at my friend’s house.

I think she was sincere, and even at the time I understood and saw the validity in those criticisms.

The mother, father, and two children had the vibes of lego people minus the minimalist charm; the parents were the height of a baby carrot, the kids half that. The dollhouse was of a standard suburban American home, and the set did not come with outfits, unless you count a couple pieces of sports equipment.
