I’m not sure if that spin was more the result of genuine narcissism or Mattel’s ongoing psy-ops campaign to defend the brand against accusations of “lookism” and “fat-shaming” or whatever, but it certainly made the anecdotes that the He-Man design team related about their counterparts in the Barbie division so easily getting their noses out of joint that much more compelling.
lol - lookism.
Toys are like movies in a way - fantasy. If they made toys that looked like most people I'm not sure there'd be much appeal to buy them. Those toy companies would probably have the same fate as TRU.
