Barbie is the doll that everyone knows, the doll with the best sense of fashion and style, the oh so curvacious, big chested doll. She's "perfect" in every way, perfect hair, and makeup, perfect face, and perfect body. But, what if that's not good enough, what if people want a more realistic, more modest doll, well, that's what Fulla's for. Fulla is the Muslim Barbie, the one with the prayer mat, the one with a head scarf, the one who always has her shoulders covered and always has a skirt that goes below her knees.
Barbie and Fulla are in fact very similar, they are very much so alike in size, height and popularity, they only differ with their appearance and lifestyle. Barbie has blonde hair, fair skin and blue eyes, Barbie has the curves, large chest and skinny legs, while Fulla has black hair, brown eyes and olive skin, a smaller chest, and is skinnier. Both dolls are criticized for representing and unrealistic idea of beauty.
Fulla was designed to promote Muslim values and be a role model for Muslim girls worldwide, whereas Barbie is targeted more towards Americans. Fulla is honest, doesn't lie, loves reading, she's caring, and loving, and respects her parents. Fulla has two friends along with a little brother and sister while, Barbie has many friends and Ken. Barbie along with Fulla want to promote the idea that women can do anything men can, therefore Barbie has been a doctor, astronaut and a Nascar driver and Fulla is coming out with a doctor and a teacher. Fulla's activities mainly include shopping, spending time with her friends, cooking, reading, and praying while Barbie has come out with a number of hobbies and careers. Fulla is sold mainly in the Middle-East where Barbie was banned for being too revealing.
They are so similar, but so different, with very different values and a very different audience. Fulla happens to be more modest while Barbie is more outgoing.
