Creatable World dolls were Mattel’s short-lived attempt at creating a more inclusive doll line. The wigs made it possible for gender non-conforming folks to better see themselves in the dolls. The wigs were a huge selling point. The fact that this line was discontinued is criminal. 💔
As a nonbinary person I was extremely joyful to found creatable world dolls ☆ . I'm glad I bought couple of the dolls when I did since you cant get thlse anywhere. I wish the line hadn't been cancelled :
I do find it interesting to note that the dolls were designed to resemble children ( most likely because children's bodies are perceived as more androgynous ) unlike most Barbies which are more modeled after adults... if they bring creatable world back I think modeling them after adults with a more androgynous body type might sell better and have wider appeal?
I assumed so beause the almost last doll seen in the add here looks like a boy/traditional male body but rainbw shirt and skirt on. Which looks super cute! I have to check which body models, skin tones etc they had. To bad they were cancelled.
Public domain is the term you were looking for in regards to stories/characters you can use without copyright! And thank you for these videos. Your energy is infectious and your joy is so refreshing, I might just go binge all of your previous Window Shopping videos because I love them. I'm in the distracting-myself-from-it stage of all this and this is really helping. I hope you're staying safe and recovering financially and mentally from your cat's supreme tummy ache surgery!!!!
There are two vintage barbies who were made for wig play. Also, at one point, little girls could get just a head that could wear wigs, and put it on the barbie doll that they already had.
I absolutely loved the flava dolls! I had a bunch as a young kid in the early 2000’s! Honestly wish I never got rid of them, but I thought I grew up at one point lol! now as an adult in my 30s I collect a lot of dolls, mostly fashion dolls.
Thank you for your kind words. I’ve been so stressed and feel almost panicked at times. I have bad anxiety so it comes easily. RUclips has definitely helped me. I love when you find stuff that I haven’t seen before. Or your deep dives. Thanks again. Have a good day.
If I were a doll designer I would be so delighted to see the dolls I made appreciated in this way, so cute! Exactly the kind of wholesome content I think is needed right now😄😬
When you showed that listing with the Generation Girls Dance Party Nichelle with the pink fur dress, I literally screamed at the TV. I had her! Haven't thought about her in years. Those tights she has on were a /pain/ to take off and put back on. The tiny little magazine was readable and that's how I first learned Barbie's last name was Roberts. Also her afro ringlets we super fun to pull on and i'm pretty certain I ruined the shape. I also had a Workin Out Christie that I got for my 5th birthday. I played that cassette so often til I was around 10 that I can still sing most of the song by heart.
OBSESSED with that Sabrina the Teenage Witch doll!!! (Also you do have good comforting and inspiring words, and your videos are also always both those things! )
I still have my Generation Girls Mari doll! I never see anyone mention her or remember her at all, so I got so excited to see her in this because I loved her sm as a child
Catching Fire is my favourite movie, and also my favourite book of the series. I get the IDEA behind the shaky cam in the first one, but it makes me so immensely motion sick if I'm not careful XD
oh my gosh I had that exact Madison swapping styles doll! she was my fave! I always played with her like she was Hannah Montana and each head was a different secret identity lol also I never had a generation girl *doll* but I somehow acquired the first book in the tie-in chapter book series and the storyline was very proto-MyScene. The concept was Barbie and her friends being cool teens in NYC (burned into my memory solely because the in-book map that showed each girl’s home also had tiny little Twin Towers) and Barbie was always filming with her camcorder in-book.
I had one of those Maxie makeup things, the lipstick one. I don’t think I ever used it on myself much, mostly because I hated getting dirty in any way, even for something fun like makeup. I was a weird kid. Lol. But I loved the Maxie line of dolls. I even liked her cartoon, which we used to rent on vhs. I feel so old saying that. 😅 It was a fun surprise, seeing that makeup in this video. I’d completely forgotten they existed. Also, I hope you’re taking some time for yourself, with everything that’s going on. I know I’m still reeling for the election, and so is everyone I love. Thanks for your kind words about it. I know for myself, it helps knowing so many people are with me in being horrified by the results. May all of us survive these next four years. ❤
Ladeeda dolls...looking at them I am almost POSITIVE their bodies were reused for Jakks Pacific's Winx Club dolls. Maybe with an elbow added? But the bodies look identical
so, after watching one of your videos I looked up "ugly fashion doll" and I got a reddit post called "What is the most cursed fashion doll you have seen?" The doll you mentioned wasn't in the top twenty tbh. Kiki tiki is a doll, okay. Along with flatsy.
I have one of the mermaze girls, they had a lot of potential but got downgraded in the process. The clothing and bodies are a lot of fun but I didn't like the face as much, so I did the logical thing and decapitated mine to give her a Licca head. Now I adore her.
Good soup for sick days How dare they to Layla/Aisha dirty like that, she is no Bratz!!! The word/phrase you were looking for is I believe ‘entering Public Domain’
I've never really understood the hate on the flavas line. They were made and designed by a man who is AA. They were made to appeal to the urban communities. I grew up in the inner city (the hood), and these dolls were in family dollars. We all loved them so much. They were wearing actual urban clothing, that was trendy at the time. Very diverse skin tones, and face molds that were clearly made to be aa. As well as other races. I guess... it's just kind of offensive for people to be offended by these. Imagine if they just slapped barbie in these urban clothes... that reallllly wouldn't have gone over well. Why is it wrong to have an urban inspired line? Does our community not deserve representation?
It's always SJWs getting offended about it without being around people who had or have an urban lifestyle. If you have only seen it on the media or never had people in your family like that, you would find it "cultural appropriation". Lol
20:35 "they look comforting" same vibe as I came across your videos, and I mean that in the best way of course 😊 28:26 my intrusive thought, "dont try to mandala effect me!" lol
@32:38 Did you ever get to play the Generation Girls video game?? It was called gotta groove! I think it was a hand-me-down and it always crashed at the exact same part (trying to perform a routine) !!! I honestly didn't know they made dolls and only thought it was a PC game!!
Hey can you talk about the doll line once upon a zombie? No one really covers or talks about it and I’ve been so so interested in the webisodes, the dolls, and the books, yet I can’t find much information about them!
I am in Germany or would be tempted to bid on the 195 Mermaid dolls I have never heard of because damn she is beautiful and rather unique in design compared to other mermaid toy lines I know... that not accurate looking Sailor Mercury though.. yeah those didn´t sell well in my country. >_

I owned just the working out Barbie cassette as a little girl :)

They were also very affordable and accessible, with great quality.
Also that was zero shade to at you! I looooove this channel lol just my two scents on this line.

I had the pixel chix house and car! it been in my head as a half memory, pretty sure i had another piece, maybe a house?, so much fun.

i feel like you would like the once upon a zombie and fairy tale high dolls
Okay, I'm getting obsessed with your content! 💖
Also the term you're looking for is "public domain!"
I would love a winx doll deep dive ❤
Those Out of This World dolls look so much like Squinkies to me.
Hey can you talk about the doll line once upon a zombie? No one really covers or talks about it and I’ve been so so interested in the webisodes, the dolls, and the books, yet I can’t find much information about them!
I am in Germany or would be tempted to bid on the 195 Mermaid dolls I have never heard of because damn she is beautiful and rather unique in design compared to other mermaid toy lines I know... that not accurate looking Sailor Mercury though.. yeah those didn´t sell well in my country. >_
