Im glad you got midge. Her box says rare... She appears to be 2 per target store/short packed on purpose by mattel. I dont like hunting for these mattle dolls anymore. Its not fun to me. And im not buying her off the secondary market. Im over the fake hype mattel creates and im over doll FOMO. So if they release more, great. If not, dont care. I'll spend my money on obtainable things. Thank you for sharing your experience. It's nice to know a real collector got one.
This video was a serious mic drop ! Not only did we see the elusive Midge, we also saw this gorgeous fairy doll. I definitely want her . I did get my hands on secret Midge whoo hoo ! Thanks for being fab ❤️ Dollhearts
Amazon has a listing for Barbie Deluxe Style - Chase 1 and I saved it even though it was out of stock. I have been checking it several times a day and this morning I was able to order one. I can’t wait until she comes in!
Lately, the Barbie dolls last year have been hit or miss fir me. I've been a passionate, life long collector of Barbie and most other fashion dolls. 2025 seems promising so I'm hoping things are getting better. As usual, you do a great review. Your right. The facial screening is everything to the dolls overall appeal. Again, love your channel!❤❤❤
Im happy for you and very jealous that you can have fun with it! Doll collecting is not fun for me anymore so hearing others still have fun is nice knowing still some do
I still haven't recovered from BMR1959 going away, I wasn't ready to hear about Barbie Looks 🥲 Great video, though! These 3 dolls are gorgeous, especially the fairy and Midge. Congrats on finding her, and being able to help your friends!
Kitaya Wongchinda said that when she sculpted the prosthetic leg it originally was articulated (and she's happy to see the articulated version finally in production) I think Carlyle Nuera designed the early Extra dolls, with Judy Choi stepping in for later versions Mattel has been doing Treasure Hunt Hot Wheels since the 1990s--I guess it shows the divisions they keep between "boy" toys and "girl" toys that they've only recently started to do just a few chase Barbies
I’m sure she sculpted a lot of things for Mattel that are just rotting in their digital archive. I can’t wait until the NDA’s expire for former Mattel employees who worked through this era to hear what was really going on internally.
Hi. I look at the Millie's (with the wings) face and I also notice the different style of her eyes. It's the one from the good old days. It's also been used on many princesses, fairies, etc. for sime time. I prefer it better than the standard painting of Barbie's (especially Millie's) eyes. It's more romantic, it gives the doll that magical touch.
I’ve been ambivalent about the Midge Deluxe but your review has me changing my mind! Although the chase aspect is stressful for me rather than fun, so i guess only if I run across her in the store. Love your videos as always!
Happy New Year! It is fun to hunt and find something in the wild! I used to collect Funko Pops too and even had a channel for a while. Love the Midge chase variant! I checked my local Target and they will be putting out new toys next week. So nice that you picked up for other fans rather than leaving them for scalpers. Awesome videos!
Barbie in the past few years has been hit or miss for me except the shining light of Angel Kent - please keep him happy Mattel and give him whatever he wants! Angel even made Millie with a plastic top fantastic. I want the Midge and hope she gets a wider release. My only issue with chase variants is that resellers have a field day. I would love a PJ variant.
Glad to see people finding the chase variant. I'm not searching for her but if I spy her I have a couple of friends who want her. The fairy is cute but I'm still not a fan of 98% of the Millie's produced. Raquelle might be one I look for. I do love my mischievous one from LITDH
I was most interested in millie's outfit out of the 3 in this line, so if i come across midge i might get her for the clothing. but i already have litdh midge so i'm not too impressed with her screening and hair, already have her basically. but i do think she is the better option over millie if we had a choice between the 2.
I’ve only found one store in my market that likely released her but by the time I made it back to the store they were gone so I bought the two brown ladies of the series. Haven’t seen even the other dolls at any of the other stores and all stores are showing’sold out’ 😞
I think Mattel saw how loud the internet was not just the doll community over the mean girls x Bratz got jealous and brought out the fan favorite but with a chase gimmick to get people to rage bait online because it’s free marketing for them
I bought two of that fairy. Gonna body swap one of them. She's so pretty! As for the Midge I pretty much know I'm not gonna get her because the Targets in my area never carry the cool stuff 😩
The Barbie Deluxe Style dolls are in fact going to be in Target stores. I was at a Target on Friday evening that had two of them on the shelf with shelf labels. No Midges at any locations in my area. However, I kind of suspect word was spreading fast on social media how to get them from the backroom so Target marked them out of stock so employees wouldn't continue to sell them early.
Fairy Barbie is so pretty! 😍 I want her! I want her even more after watching your video, I also love that you can remove the earrings. Come on Mattel, do that on every Barbie, of course you should be able to change the earrings if you want. And Barbie deluxe doll with Steffie face, what a beauty! I hope she will sell internationally so very much. I have always loved Barbie with the Steffie face, ever since my childhood in the 80s and 90s 🫶🩷
I can't get the Race Midge doll cause I live in México and the only way to get her is by buying her for a reseller and the funny thing is the ones I know haven't even post about having it I guess they are also having problems to get the doll 🤭. Im excited for the 45th Black Barbie Anniversary
Okay, so Steffie still is priced the same, but gets the TAMPO faceup, but the rest of the line all are pixelated, so is it or is it not a budget issue? That doesn’t make any sense to me. Apart from maybe they’re making these dolls this way for the paint to last longer when handled by children, and the Steffie chase is a nice treat for mostly adult collectors hence the difference, I dunno.
She's a clone of the LITDH 2-pack Midge, only difference is the darker hair & eyes. The eyelashes might be slightly different, hard to tell without putting them side by side IRL.
@@BarbiesGBFIn my case, I want them but still can't afford them. The prices in Sweden are crazy imo. I hope they will still make mtm with different bodytypes.
The Deluxe girl with the braids isn't badly pixelated. Better than the Asian girl. Hope i can get Midge, but I do have the Rewind doll for now. The Deluxe face is much cuter though.
Oh that’s why I couldn’t find any other in Nashville you probably went and snatched all of them up. How about leave some for other collectors in the Nashville area.
I have been going to Target's for the last 3 weeks looking for this doll and I still can't find her. I have even talked to representatives of the store
Please, I will take one for Canada too please? I will pay you first in full. Just let me know how much they cost. Or do any of you know someone who lives closer to the west coast of Canada because that would save me some money for shipping?
Not into the fairy doll she's way too kiddish for my taste. Which makes sense since is for kids. I'm tired of seeing Midge on my social media. She's just a redhead Steffi doll. There are plenty of better ones out there. I got three. Just get the Rewind doll she's not much.
ahh! I'm obsessed with the new fairy doll! when her promo images came out, i thought she was using the Odile Face mold. great review
it might be cool to sell the prosthetic leg pieces in different colors and designs so we can switch them up. how cute would that be?
That would be awesome! I think I’m going to dye or spray paint this one.
@@BarbiesGBF excellent idea!

i still haven't got the raquel doll i wanted, the one with the raised eyebrow and smirk. omg. it's all good.
She’s really cool. I wish the made more dolls with the closed mouth Raquelle sculpt. She has such a mischievous smile.

Thanks for the review of Midge❤ I like the fairy too

27:21 She actually hasn't technically been released yet. She's not listed on the Target website for sale. None of the Barbie Deluxe Style dolls are.
Oh i want that Midge doll so much, but i cant get it here in Sweden. Thank you for a very nice film!
Same.

Congrats on her. NYC and NJ gotta step it up, not one store has her 😢😢
I was most interested in millie's outfit out of the 3 in this line, so if i come across midge i might get her for the clothing. but i already have litdh midge so i'm not too impressed with her screening and hair, already have her basically. but i do think she is the better option over millie if we had a choice between the 2.
no more looks dolls ?
I look forward to Golden dream Christie.
Where can I get her in Europe?? 😢
She’s not made it to Europe yet unfortunately.
🤗♥️😍🎈🤷🏻♀️🧜🏻♀️🎈♥️♥️🎉 happy New year 2025 and have a dolly New year 2025 🎉🎉

I hope you can get her eventually!

Is Target planning to have the chase Midge in stock at some point? Or can we make pretend we're friends and I purchase one from you? lol
I bought two of that fairy. Gonna body swap one of them. She's so pretty! As for the Midge I pretty much know I'm not gonna get her because the Targets in my area never carry the cool stuff 😩
been waiting to decide if i want midge or not... not really into the others in this collection other than taya
I wonder if this line will ever be in stores. I'm sick of only pop reveals and fashionistas in stores
Hot garbahhge

The wonk is also caused by the 2015 body having such a wide neck and distorting the head. DollJunk boiled his, and it fixed the wonky eyes.

i don't like the rooted eyelashes on the dreamhouse collection either. i trimmed down a lot of them.
@BrokenDollyTV Rooted eyelashes look really bad on those Mattel Disney dolls.
She's a clone of the LITDH 2-pack Midge, only difference is the darker hair & eyes. The eyelashes might be slightly different, hard to tell without putting them side by side IRL.
why was the looks discontinued???
I think it’s a combination of Mattel overproducing a lot of them and the poor clothing designs in the later waves making people not want them.
💔 I'm heartbroken it's cancelled! I really enjoyed that line! 😢
@@BarbiesGBFIn my case, I want them but still can't afford them. The prices in Sweden are crazy imo. I hope they will still make mtm with different bodytypes.

My pointless Targets in Ohio all say OUT OF STOCK...And l really really want that Midge. 😒
I hope you’re able to get her!
When people buy them all in a whole area, you never will. Then they brag about it.
barbie looks got canceled? was there a official confirmation?
was wondering the same
Mattel will never make a public announcement when a collection is discontinued, but the signs are there.
I didn't hear that either. I love those dolls !
@@BarbiesGBF damn DX

Well, when one person buys them all there are none left for anyone else.
Please, I will take one for Canada too please? I will pay you first in full. Just let me know how much they cost. Or do any of you know someone who lives closer to the west coast of Canada because that would save me some money for shipping?
I went to 5 Targets and all were soldout
Because people like this who buy them all.
Not into the fairy doll she's way too kiddish for my taste. Which makes sense since is for kids. I'm tired of seeing Midge on my social media. She's just a redhead Steffi doll. There are plenty of better ones out there. I got three. Just get the Rewind doll she's not much.
I went to all the targets in my city and was able to get 10 of them!
Gatekeep much?
