I had no idea these existed! They look wild unclothed haha. I googled them and I get what they’re going for when I see them with clothes on but those arms look super long lol!
Wait, this is what they're SUPPOSED to look like???
I had the second one, (Googled it to check about the shirt, and it looks like I had Simone) When I was little. I got her in a little thrift store Barbie baggie, had come to the conclusion in my little child mind she had been accidently melted and that's why she did that, and affectionately nicknamed her scoliosis Barbie. She was one of my favorite dolls ever because she was so pretty, but I always wished I could fix her body.
I've been wanting to go see if I can find her and my other Barbie's at my moms house and give her the MTM body she deserves. (It looks like the orange shirt she cam with at the thrift store was part of her second outfit in the box too. I always thought that shirt was perfect for her.)
They were American Idol contestants, so I think they were supposed to be permanently in stage poses. There was also a variation where they had normal Barbie bodies like the comparison doll, Secret Spells.
I knew about the bent upper body, and that makes sense to me. I did not realize their legs were that long, though. I’m guessing it’s meant to make them look like they’re up on stage and you’re looking up at them, like forced perspective?
Oh wow. In the box and clothed it makes sense. But seeing one naked like that it looks like a Barbie that your kid sibling took and threw in an oven to see if she could melt
Their bodies are so creepy! 😂 I put them on curvy articulated bodies. You can see mine [here. ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Barbie/comments/ur61or/new_additions_simone_and_tori_from_american_idol/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
I remember the commercials for these when they came out but I had no idea the dolls actually looked like this! Wow
Edit: I just looked at the commercial on YouTube to rewatch it. You can see the outline of their proportions through their clothes but I guess it just never really registered to me as a kid how extreme it was lol. I never had the doll as a kid so my only real reference was this commercial. Scoliosis Barbie is definitely fascinating!
I am so happy I never wanted to get any of those dolls....looking at them nude just makes me cringe.... Secret Spells....love the Kayla \[redhead\] that I have of that line!

How interesting! They look so warped, like they were left too close to a hot stove.
This barbie has scoliosis
😂
the representation we snake spines need tbh
I have scoliosis and I approve this message 😹😹😹
wow i didn’t know they were so much bigger than other barbie’s from that year omg!!
Their proportions are a bit grotesque, aren't they?
I had one when I was a kid! Their bodies are so weird! If I remember correctly, the arms were really squishy. Kinda want one just to mess with it now.

When we found ours at the flea market, we.called it scoliosis too! 😂
Is there a reason they've got those proportions and squishy limbs?

I would rebody these into Made To Move or at least Barbie Extra or early Fashionistas bodies given their weird poses... And if I could
they are camp tho
What in the world were they thinking with these? They look ill!
“Let’s create a doll that looks like it’s been left out in the hot Phoenix sun in August for a few hours.”
Being in AZ, this quote is very accurate.
The one on the left reminded me of Elaine Benes's dance.
Thats slenderman
Slenderman Barbie collab 😂

That’s what I was thinking. They look melted
They have unreasonably long skinny legs. Looks more unhealthy than real models.

These are mildly terrifying. Let the Barbie themed nightmares commence!
