double post, please merge/delete! 2016 articulated Barbie

[Anderson'sAllPurpose]

ETA: sorry, double post! I don't want to delete since there's a comment - if a mod could please merge this with the first thread I'd appreciate it.

So it looks like Barbie will get a new body with lots of articulation next year (18 or 22 points, accounts vary).
When I saw the first pics a few weeks ago there was speculation on whether it was just the body for Mattel's Wonder Woman doll/action figure, but now there are more photos of what definitely looks like a new doll line: Barbie, Teresa, Asha and Neko, wearing some kind of yoga outfits and doing yoga stuff. I don't know anything more but I thought I'd share the photos (or rather, links to the photos):

Lots of comments about the joints being ugly, and they're definitely more visible than usual. For me poseability is more important, so I don't really mind. I am however pretty excited about the prospect of having jointed bodies in three skin tones (especially AA) readily available in major toy stores, even if they can't compete with an action figure or Obitsu. I hope they won't be too expensive, exclusive or, God forbid, just never happen for some reason.

I don't think the joints look that bad too be honest. And they have jointed ankles!

Is it just me, or do the feet look even smaller than usual?
