MC2 it's called

My only complaint with this is that the dolls themselves are painfully bland

Like, there's no way I'd want to play with a boring doll when I was a kid

It's why I forgot about Barbie's existence within like...3 years

It's as if the team decided smart = boring and/or stereotypical 80s nerd

Now see, if they had really eye-catching dolls like Monster and Ever After, with a sci-fi theme that helped girls learn STEM basics? Hell yeah

I'd rather learn astrophysics from an alien chick.

Then again I was a pretty imaginative kid. XD

Idk, making things eye catching may not be a bad idea? I know the "girl toys can't include things like that" is kind of....

You can see a lot of the explosion of success when they stop going "eye catching and unusual = boys, girls = only domestic and/or Normal stereotypes, maybe pink"

/Evil Within flashbacks

In the mind of a kid, an alien seems a much better authority than we puny humans anyway

Like...an alien pilot would know all about the laws of aerodynamics, right?

On top of that you could sell accessories like the pilot's ship, and an alternative set that teaches about astronauts or something

....man this is making me want to design some prototypes
