A new Barbie based on the image of Jennifer Lopez has drawn criticism for its distinct lack of the curves that made her famous.

The two $29.95 collector’s dolls, one sporting a red carpet gown by Zuhair Murad, the other wearing a look from her tour, both feature a typical Barbie silhouette instead of that legendary derriere.

Fans of Ms Lopez have taken to Twitter to share their unimpressed views.

Regardless, Ms Lopez herself is delighted with the tribute.

In a video promoting the doll’s launch, she said: ‘I wanted to live in Barbie’s world, I wanted to be Barbie. I think Barbie represents infinite possibilities.’
