So, I'm sure you've heard before about how unrealistic the proportions of a Barbie doll are, but one young college girl took those measurements and blew them up to a full, six foot tall model she created out of various materials as part of a awareness campaign for anorexia (which she suffered from when she was younger.)
You can see video of it here..

I can't help but think she overdid the boobs just a bit, but I could be wrong.
Chesty Morgan as Barbie????

damn, and shouldn't Barbie have a corset on? I mean, look at that waist and Chest?! :buggedout:
Nothing about her is overdone. That is what Barbie would look like if she were a real woman.

I did some measurements on my daughter's and the head seems too small on this one. Here's another one:

But the biggest one does look like the doll, so maybe i'm wrong.

Daughter's Barbie's head. Call off CPS please.
KILL IT WITH FIRE.
I'd hit that
On thing people never seem to mention when talking about Barbie's measurements is that clothing doesn't scale down that well. If people want Barbie to look like she has any kind of figure at all, they have to over exaggerate it, otherwise the clothes will just hag off her like she's wearing sacks.
Also the head on that "life sized" one looks way WAY to small.
If you make an oversized G.I. JOE, it still has no penis.
