That's probably why so many of even the "collector" dolls have the oversized heads and playline "look" because they think that's what young people want.

Everyone complains about the repros not being authentic, but who is their target audience? Baby boomers? If so, Mattel probably does not want to invest in new molds. They are more intent on interesting younger collectors who will buy dolls in the future.
