It does look better than I thought, maybe the criticism was overblown and/or they have responded.

I see a few vehicles and an inventing workshop so it doesn't seem too patronising now.

My daughter's favorite character is Olivia. They have profiles of all the girls. Hers says:

    I love:
    My friends, science, school, drawing, inventing things, nature, hiking, photography, history.

    I ’m also good at:
    Reading maps, navigation by the stars, building things, computers.

    I want to be:
    A scientist or an engineer. 
I was very pleased they didn't all want to be pop stars. Olivia’s Invention Workshop is a great kit.
