It's time for Barbie to make a new friend. Meet Lammily, who could soon be sitting alongside her on toy shop shelves. American artist Nickolay Lamm created a prototype of a Barbie-like doll last year based on US government measurements for an average 19-year-old American woman and the response was huge. He now wants to produce his doll and is close to crowdfunding the $95,000 (£57,000) he needs to start production.

The proportions look much better, but the face looks scarily wrong, I can't put my finger on it, but something isn't right.

It may be a bit 'uncanny valley' because it's much nearer to an actual person's physical proportions.
