    The way people criticise Barbie for being “too sexual” because she has big boobs really bothers me. Like criticise the fact she was based off that other doll, fine, but big boobs don’t make a person, or Barbie, more sexual. That’s a harmful mentality that leads to actual women who have bigger boobs being harassed more and held to much higher dress code standards compared to other women. It’s not like it’s a choice, and if it was I don’t think anyone would want the back pain lol. Your mum’s collection is amazing, thanks for sharing it with us and for not avoiding the more difficult conversations that Barbie can bring up!!!

    • @MeganWeller
      @MeganWeller  Год назад +3

      Totally agree - I “developed early” (I’ve been 5’7” since I was 11 lol) and was always held to a higher standard than other kids my age. So I’ve sort of seen both sides - I had big boobs for a 5th grader, but they’ve stayed about the same size 😂 Aw thank you! 💜💜

    I was an only child growing up so my mum spoilt me with dolls, and playing with Barbies were everything to me! As I became a bit older I became more into Bratz dolls but they’re not around much anymore. So seeing Barbie dolls still being produced out there today is amazing! So nostalgic!

    Holy crap your mom has the coolest collection I’ve ever seen. You have to do a whole video about all of the family members and decide characters that she has because she has more than most people I know, and I know people who go to the Barbie convention every year and spend thousands of dollars And I still think your mom’s collection of not Barbie is better

    • @MeganWeller
      @MeganWeller  Год назад +2

      Omg there’s a Barbie convention?! I need to look into this, that would be so much fun! Yeah she said she liked to look for ones that were had more unique faces, etc - there are still so many I didn’t get to 😅 My aunt has a ton of “non-Mattel” dolls that are pretty cool too, I’ll have to go through and see about making a part 2 💜

    heyy!! i'm a doll collector so this was a really sweet video to come across!!! i was just thinking abt this earlier, honestly the thing about the 2016 reboot that's unfortunate is that the clothes,, there is still very much a lack of separate fashions for the different body types, particularly curvy, and the actual quality of the outfits has had quite a downturn as well?? i mean with the movie which is only naturally gonna get more people interested in the dolls i just really hope mattel maybe kicks it up a notch with the outfit quality, also perhaps bringing back more of the named characters like christie, teresa and midge (and allan ig, lol) but like yeah!! sorry for rambling but great video :)

    • @MeganWeller
      @MeganWeller  Год назад +2

      Nice! Do you mainly collect Barbies? Aw man that’s a bummer - I did notice that it looked like the quality had decreased (I know I commented on it in the original script, but I cut it for time. I can’t believe Kelly/Chelsea has molded on clothes now 🤦🏻‍♀️) It seems like Mattel was decreasing quality across the board around 2016 - if I remember correctly they also “rebooted” Monster High, and there was the whole American Girl “permapanties” debacle 😬 I loved seeing all the new merch they’ve come out with to promote the movie - if they’re going to stick with trying to appeal to nostalgic adults increasing the quality definitely wouldn’t hurt! Thank you! 💜

    • @tehrinny7031
      @tehrinny7031 Год назад +2

      I'm a new collector (like, just started) and I found that the best quality outfits for the curvy dolls are on the Looks and Extra lines. Though the Looks lines are pretty simplistic. I like the Extra line a lot more for the amount of details. It reminds me more of the Barbies I played with in childhood, but with more quality. Definately still within the "aimed at kids" ballpark. But I really do appreciate the time put into the designs and overall doll presentation. They feel a lot more substantial, and almost action-figure like rather than the fashion dolls I had in the 80's and 90's.
      But there are a lot of doll lines worth collecting right now, like the reboot of MH, Rainbow and Shadow high and a few others. So I feel like if Mattel wants to keep a piece of the market after the movie craze dies down, they'll have to keep the quality up. FWIW, I just find toys these days to not have the kind of quality that toys in my childhood had. So I'm really hesitant to collect anything current. But I was very pleased with the new Barbies I bought, including the ones from the movie (that everyone complains about)

    I kept every single Barbie, My scene Doll+ any other doll including my baby dolls. I have the small dolls in a wooden Barbie box, with their dogs, horses, Mermaid babies and a suitcase full of Barbie clothes and shoes. I even have a Cindy doll, and Lots of Barbie's from the 70's and 80's.
    I always thought I was so odd for wanting to hold onto my dolls, clothes and accessories until the Barbie movie, when I seen the millions of other people who collect, store, restore, Dolls and Barbie's. Makes my heart warm ❤
    I never owned one single Ken, I never even thought about his existence. I had my Barbie married to a bungee jumping Action man. 😂

    I'm a lifetime Barbie collector and I really like your video. It was a great summary of Barbie's history. Your mom and aunt have an awesome collection of dolls ❤
    I think adults thought way more about Barbie's body and bodies in general than kids ever did. As a kid I always wanted to be as stylish and successful as Barbie, but I never thought "I want to be skinny like Barbie" I did end up being skinny, but I wasn't really aware of it until adults started talking about my body.
    I also don't like the claim that Barbie only became diverse recently, and before that all dolls were "blonde and blue-eyed" There were always different Barbies around, if you wanted them. Both mine and my mom's first Barbies were black, while we're white. I also always loved Barbie's friends like Teresa, Christie, Kira, Lea etc. I like that they had a name and identity of their own. And I think they're all very beautiful, just like Barbie 😘

    Hi Megan, have various dolls from my childhood, from about 1967. Barbie and Stacie with their eyelashes. Barbie very arched feet and Stacie slightly lower. Also younger sister Skipper with flat feet. Francie (cousin) and two later Barbies. The shoes accessories and wigs were fabulous. Added to collection then in my daughters time years around 2002. While it was my passion, and I decorated a full beautiful house for her.. unfortunately was not her passion whatsoever.
    Oh yes and a very plastic Ken with all the moving joints was given to my son around 90's. With all the Ken's action gear. He kept them company in a box for many years now.
    A child therapist is buying it all, and while their is my mother's hand sewing and knit skills and great grandmother crochet work, my heart must be happy that its going to a very useful purpose. ❤

    It took me to adulthood to realise I can love both Barbie and Bratz for different reasons. Barbie is so wonderfully diverse now, though I don't know if there's a Barbie who wears glasses, and there certainly doesn’t seem to be an autistic Barbie! But yeah, I love dolls. I'd be interested to see a part 2 to this video. Maybe you could talk about the Barbie movies. My favourite was always Barbie As Rapunzel.

    • @MeganWeller
      @MeganWeller  Год назад +1

    • @KingOfGaymes
      @KingOfGaymes Год назад +5

      There’s definitely lots of Barbie’s with glasses and they recently released a Barbie with Down syndrome! So they are definitely becoming more diverse by the day
      Though Im not sure how exactly one would make an autistic barbie?? since there’s no specific physical feature or anything for someone with autism. But maybe they could make a new character in the Barbie-verse with autism for representation someday 😊
      Also I can tell you that Monster high has an autistic character named Twyla who’s really cool 💜

    • @FerrariCarr
      @FerrariCarr Год назад

      How would you even make an autistic Barbie? It’s not like people with autism have a physical feature that says to the world “hey! I have autism!”….🥴

    • @mckenzieeliza
      @mckenzieeliza Год назад +1

      @@FerrariCarr I know, but I was thinking along the lines of the down's syndrome doll, because they made her outfit with a lot of symbols and things. So for example, the doll could have clothing on that has a rainbow infinity symbol, which is the better symbol that represents the autistic spectrum (no puzzle pieces!). Or just canonically have an autistic Barbie character. If you wanted to though, any Barbie doll could be autistic, I get your point.

    I was never upset that I wasn't skinny like barbie growing up. I was like duh shes a doll I shouldn't look like her... same with the disney princesses that people complain about. Kid's brains don't work like that. They care more about hair and skin color. I honestly think that is just something that adults (and older teens) project on their younger selves without stopping to ask themselves if they really cared as a kid or if they would have asked for curvy dolls in the first place

    In my opinion the "controversial dolls" are not controversial at all. Pregnant Midge is a great way for kids to learn about pregnancy, especially if they have a pregnant mom/younger siblings. Growing up Skipper is a great doll for girls going through puberty, giving them the message "you are not alone, don't feel embarrassed, Skipper's going through it too" 😊 Fun fact: there was a My Scene doll line with the same feature in the 2000s.

    I’ve become interested in Barbie collecting recently and I’ve frantically been trying to find the Barbie’s that I now know are collectors items and their accessories. And I have some Barbie’s and clothing from my mom when she was young. And the angel face Barbie’s dress has to be the same dress I had for my Barbie’s. I’m worried I threw it away since I was like 9 and it was ripped and compared to the newer Barbie clothes it wasn’t as cool. But I know that’s the same exact dress it has to be!
    Edit: OH I remember now that dress wasn’t mine it was in my grandmas Barbie doll collection. I completely forgot she had Barbie dolls. Oh gosh I hope she still has them I would love to look at them. As you were looking through your moms Barbies I recognized a lot of the clothing from my grandmas house.
