I dunno- I kind of disagree. She's not wearing a pink dress and her breasts are in realistic proportion.
Ken is obviously cowering in the corridor somewheres and only pussies need a parka to raid a tomb.

I think she's just so f*#king tough she doesn't get cold in -40 degrees. . . or she uses the ice tool for it's more fun use. . . to kill zombies.

Climbing coatless in the freezing cold in the movie Cliffhanger didn't stop Sylvester Stallone, so it ain't gonna stop Tomb Raider Barbie either!
The climbing Barbie has more fun!

Next time I am with my grown up sons, I am going to force them to go with me to buy a Tomb Raider Barbie!

I have another theory: Maybe mattel is just trying to convince girls that there is a certain look they should be going for if they want guys to find them attractive, which all of their value is based upon.

She punches holes in herself and she keeps on climbing? She's a real ice climber, I guess. Is there a model with only one eye?

There will be an Ice Hockey Barbie soon enough with removable front tooth so you just need to switch outfits.

I wonder if Mattel paid DMM for the privilege of copying the Rebel ice tool. It looks to be an exact copy.
I've climbed on the Rebels, and can tell you that they are absolutely terrible.

They may be terrible at ice climbing. . . but what about slicing into a zombies skull?

I never much appreciated Barbie, until Heidi dragged me to a toy museum in Munich last fall.
Now I'm a fan.

Product placement, DMM should be paying Mattel. Millions of adolescent girls are clamoring for DMM ice axes now.

Poor Barbie - No wonder she's out raiding tombs, with "Man Bun Ken" as her beaux. I happen to like man buns, but why couldn't they at least make his hair "hair," like they do with Barbie's?

Barbie is clearly dressed for summer alpine rock in the cascades and just bringing a single tech tool incase she needs to self arrest on the glacier on the descent or place a piton on route.
Matel designers are probably reading this thread saying "Do these people expect barbie to free climb 5.11 with a 75 cm alpenstock??? Plus she's into #vanlife now and doesn't have room for redundant gear in the vintage VW syncro she lives in."

(awww, had to add this, as-- i always loved it when dogs included
the ol' pup-dog, or, horse... it seems it took years, before
