American dolls have started getting TALLER.  This year, Disney is rolling out princess dolls that are 18 inches tall . . . that's six inches taller than last year and about seven inches taller than Barbie.

And they're not the only ones.  Bratz, American Girl, Moxie Teenz, and other dolls are also getting taller.  So far, Barbies are staying the same height, at 11 inches.

The main reason for the height change is that toy companies have found that girls move on from dolls at a younger age now . . . around age seven.  And they hope that if the dolls are taller, girls from seven through 13 will identify with them more.

Am I the only one who thinks this is scary...we could see life sized Barbies soon.
