Hybrid Dolls?

Where's the dollies in question? Sorry, couldn't find a link in your post. Are these ones in question?

I think Disney is probably trying to tap into the love of all things anime (and failing at it rather miserably to be honest) as Japanese anime characters tend to have ridiculously large eyes like this one:



Will say though that, considering the bodies of aliens--at least according to Grey lore, are purportedly big eyed, disproportionate head and rather spindly body, I think Japan, if they were conditioning for hybrids, beat the US to the punch on that one come to think of it, lol.

It is weird though really but I think there is a reason why big eyed small faced humans are rather popular. If I remember correctly, studies were done in trying to figure out why infants were so appealing to most and what that study led to was those big baby eyes in those wee faces. In a way, it's a remark on the use of psychology in product development and marketing.

Why are you apologizing?  I think it's great that you're questioning why the doll doesn't even look human because she doesn't.  There's been all sorts of talk in the past about Barbie's dimensions but the more recent stuff really does look to be turning further and further way as being recognizably human.  They do look like some sort of hybrid.

I remember when the first 'big-eyed' dolls came out in the early 70's; they were hotter than Cabbage patch dolls!

It wasn't long before just about every home had framed pictures and huge posters of the big-eyed faces on their walls, and several dolls in every toy box-except my house. I always find the craze somewhat creepy.... :)
