Kai? Is that you?
Lego doesn't consider minidolls minifigs for legal, trademark-related reasons (https://brickset.com/sets/ISBN9780241409695-1/LEGO-Minifigure-A-Visual-History-New-Edition even has a sidebar on one page titled "Meet the Non-minifigures..." and the figures shown are a skeleton, a battle droid, and a minidoll), but if you go to Bricks and Pieces, minidoll parts are listed under "Minifigure Parts." Which admittedly makes sense, since your average customer, even if their definition of "minifigure" isn't as broad as Bricklink/Brickset's, is probably going to look for minidoll/babyfig parts there.
He looks so much lankier than normal minidolls somehow; is it just the stripes?

Pretty sure it’s that Goldbug-wannabe, Waldo.
@TheOtherMike:
I really wish they would filter minidolls parts out into a different category. The sheer volume tends to overwhelm the category, and since they both fall under System parts, you can’t use that to eliminate them either.
@Brickalili:
Vertical stripes make you look slimmer. Horizontal ones are supposed to do the opposite.
@PurpleDave
A long-held misconception. While results can be quite varied, as with any optical illusion, when they actually put it to the test it turned out to be more commonly seen the other way around:
