Mattel, the maker of Barbie, announced that the iconic doll will now come in three new body types and a variety of skin tones and hairstyles. Barbie is finally a modern woman. They will feature a new body like a slender and busty doll that is well known today. The new body types are described as "tall, curvy and petite."

Mattel has been putting Barbie through a transformation for the past two years. But for too long, Barbie's physical appearance stuck with a familiar script: white, thin, and with a big bust. Finally, last year Mattel introduced 23 new dolls with different skin tones, hairstyles, outfits and flat feet, rather than the perpetually pointy ones meant to fit into sky-high heels.

You can check their online shop on Barbie.com with a a total of 33 new dolls being rolled out by the end of the year. Online sales will start to hit until March 1.
