I've been saying this for a while: toys marketed to young girls, even toddlers, are really sexualized. It's about time people are starting to notice and comment on it. Here's an article commenting on characters such as Tinker Bell, Trollz, Strawberry Shortcake, and more.
An excerpt:
"Peter Pan may never have grown up, but Tinker Bell and her fairy friends definitely have. The Disney Fairies boast hourglass figures, coy glances and barely-there mini dresses. In short, these girls aren’t your mama’s pixies.
Even trolls have come of age. Those formerly stout, pug-nosed kewpies, have reemerged in a new slim, thigh-baring line called Trollz. Rainbow Brite and Strawberry Shortcake have become tweens and shed their baby fat. And et tu, Holly Hobbie? She’s traded her prairie dresses for a saucy wardrobe and lightened locks."
