40 Toys from Past Decades That Were Taken Off the Shelves Due to Public Backlash

The Hasbro Leggy dolls, introduced in the late 1960s, were known for their distinctive long legs and stylish outfits. However, they faced discontinuation primarily due to changes in fashion trends and preferences. As the 1970s ushered in a shift towards more natural and diverse body types in fashion and beauty standards, the tall, slender look of the Leggy dolls began to fall out of favor.

The doll market became increasingly competitive with the emergence of new toy lines and characters, making it necessary for Hasbro to adapt its offerings. These factors, along with the evolving landscape of ever-changing fashion and beauty standards, led to the discontinuation of the Leggy dolls, marking the end of an era in the world of fashion dolls.
