Finally! You Can Now Buy Barbies In Tall, Petite and Curvy Sizes

The classic doll gets a much-needed makeover

When we were younger, we kinda idolized Barbie. Between the clothes and the houses, the Corvettes and the hunky BF (call us, Ken), girlfriend had it all. Well, everything except a realistically-attainable body.

That's why we were thrilled to hear that for the first time in its 57 year history, Barbie has gotten a body makeover--announced by a Time magazine cover no less. In addition to the impossibly-proportioned original, you can now you can buy the doll in tall, petite and curvy sizes. 

Available online today and in stores on March 1, the new toys are meant to better reflect the body types young girls see around them. 

To which we say, hell yeah!
