The Lammily doll, also referred to as the “normal Barbie,” is available for purchase, just in time for the holiday season.
Lammily has moveable elbows, hands, knees, and feet. And for an additional $5.99, you can have the sticker extension pack called Lammily marks. It comes with 38 reusable stickers that include tattoos, glasses, cellulite, scars, dirt stains, stretch marks, and acne. However, that bonus is not available until January 18.
The Lammily doll was created by Nikolay Lamm. The project started when Lamm created an image of what Barbie would look like if she had the proportions of an average 19-year-old woman. He used measurements from the CDC to create the model and posted the image side-by-side with Barbie’s. He got such an enormous response from people who wanted an actual doll that he created a crowd-funding campaign to produce the dolls.

Lamm wanted to show people that “average is beautiful.”
