Inone study conducted with girls aged six to eleven, some girls preferred the look of the minidollsbecause of the different clothing options that they have, while others projected body image idealsonto the minidolls, claiming that they “could never be that skinny” [14, p. 258]. The lattercomment raises concerns about the target audience of the LEGO Friends minidolls. If girls arenot able to identify with the minidolls, they may feel excluded from playing with these toy sets.In addition, LEGO’s choice of introducing minidolls for the LEGO Friends sets instead ofusing the traditional, block-shaped minifigures may suggest to girls that their LEGO toys areinherently different and the original LEGO product lines aren’t “meant for them
