I'm almost 26 and lalaloopsey came out when I was aging out of the doll demographic so I saw nobody in my circle talking about them. They do remind me of Raggedy Anne and Andy that the boomers and GenX like, I used to have coloring books of them. Also this was the early 2010's the dolls came out during a time when creepy dolls are on full display by the movies and creepypasta culture so of course people will have an aversion to rag and porcelain dolls.
@@lulaloopseyAt 63 years old even relating to your deep passion and devotion to something I must say I am amazed to find myself here and actually eager to learn. My lifelong passion and devotion has been for the Harley Davidson Motorcycle and vintage merchandise. Living most of my life looking like a walking and talking advertisement in my time known as a Biker Chick. 😂❤ I had to share that as I feel the leap from HD to LLL is a long rather unexpected. My introduction to what I believe are dolls that Rock their vibes much like I did was thru believe it or not a popular item called the blind bag it was a long time before I realized they lived outside of tiny paint tins and miniature purses lol. That being why I'm here very happy to meet you and become a new Subscriber. I will say the desire for information brought me but your lovely personality as well as being an intelligent and entertaining content provider kept me here and will keep me coming back and enjoying your playlists. A LalaLoopsey fan🎉 who'd a ever thunk it.😂😅😊❤
i always associated them with coraline, not just because of the button eyes, but because they both used the same "can you do the can can" melody in their advertisements.
SAME LMFAO, I had JUST first watched and gotten traumatized by Coraline like a week before Lalaloopsie launched as a cartoon and doll line in my country, and I was haunted by the cartoon for months being forced to watch it bc my little sister liked it Which, honestly, very sad bc I think I would've enjoyed Lalaloopsie a lot otherwise
I was probably the .0001% of kids who saved the mini lalaloopsy packaging houses and repurposed them into a little city I built with my own two 12 year old hands. Also hearing the theme song made my inner child cry happy tears!
I had Blossom Flowerpot when I was younger !! Her design is literally THE CUTEST thing ever!! Lowkey this video makes me want to start collecting Lalaloopsies. Their designs are EVERYTHING!!
Also great work acknowledging controversies and just racist shit in the series. I feel like the doll community has some rlly toxic ppl, so I'm rlly happy u addressed all that!!
Yeah, I think it's awesome they gave her such a mainline role at all. But I get your take. I wonder if it had anything to do with changtng voice actors?
more info: -Dot Starlight, while excluded from merchandising 100% of the time, she never failed to make an appearance in all forms of medias. -the Silly Funhouse Peanut & Ember 2-pack is from mid 2012. -Silly Hair was incredibly well received, getting 11 large doll releases (+ 3 more in 2021) aswell as 6 Silly Hair Littles. -Button Tails plushies were not released for, or in relation to a corresponding video game. the promotional videos would often advertise their game/activity filled website at the end. -Pet Pals were not based on the pets of lalaloopsy. all releases for this spin off were original characters and were meant to be just random anthropomorphic animals living in lalaloopsy land as people. random but yeah. -Lalaloopsy Babies as a toy line wasn't that remarkable, but the movie released for the line, "Lalaloopsy Babies: First Steps" gave us a lot of lore/origin info about the Lalaloopsy characters. -its mentioned that Whirly Stretchy Locks has a sewn on date on Lollipop day, every Lalaloopsy character has a sewn on date in correspondence with a holiday that goes with their theme. -series 1 of Mystery Paint Cans were releases of pre existing minis (though there were four "chaser" minis exclusively available through the cans) but series 2 of the Cans, aswell as series 1 & 2 of the Mystery Purses, had entirely new style n swap minis. (series 1 & 2 of Mystery Purses were basically series 3 & 4 of the Pain Cans, they just changed the shape) -It's not certain whether or not Lalaloopsy is here to stay, rumor has it, the 2021 rerelease didn't sell well, in fact you can find most of them heavily discounted on Amazon for like $15 $10 i've seen $5 even. it's unlikely that we'll see anymore releases. most speculate that it was a lack of advertising that led to the 2021 rereleases flopping. ~~~ Ahhhhhh i loved this video, YOU ATE! I've seen a lot of these kinds of videos where they hardly know what they're talking about 😭 but this one is perfectly perfect~ Thank u for making this, i enjoyed watching 💞
AAAH so glad you enjoyed! 🫶 also about silly hair i’m aware it was well received that was more of my opinion on the line & a take i’ve seen from fans !
I WAS ALMOST WONDERING IF I ENTIRELY DREAMED THE BABIES MOVIE!! Thank you for mentioning it! My favorite thing from it is when in the beginning, Crumbs is sucking her thumb, and then on of the other girls starts doing the same thing and Crumbs just says, “I made it!” I don’t know why I just think it’s funny
I must've unintentionally watched the search for pillow like. 20 times while supervising my baby sister like ages ago. though thinking about my fondness for this series today as a late-teenage boy makes me feel really embarrassed inside. but idgaf anymore this stuff was (and remains) awesome
I remember watching that movie on RUclips a few years ago and I couldn’t really understand what the characters were saying because I wasn’t good at English back then.
My annual Lalaloopsy phase is coming back man, every now and again I'll get obsessed again and play with my dolls lol. I grew up with em man and I still love them.
@@lulaloopsey I think you can still find them on Amazon, eBay, Facebook Marketplace, the Walmart website/app, and other online stores. However, I'm not entirely sure. I really hope this helps!
I'm unsure if you said this in the latter half of the video, but Dot eventually got a little sister!! It took 11 years, but she was released during the rereleases in 2021 and she's a cutie :) kinda sad her pet was a recolor of Specs tho
Fun Fact: 3:18 While Dot doesn't have any variations of herself, Dot was eventually given a little sister. Comet Starlight was released in 2021, 11 years after Dot. Any child around that time are either teens or young adults. My guess is they thought Dot didn't need a sibling, but seeing as she was part of the original, they said "Screw it" and give her one. Only hardcore Lalaloopsy fans brought and kept Dot and brought Comet when she came out.
I remember being 5-6 years old when Lalaloopsy was still fresh in like 2011-2012 which was also when I got my first Lalaloopsy dolls April Sunsplash and Cloud E Sky. I didn’t really vibe with them at first but I still pretended to play with them just to make my dad happy, very quickly did I become invested in these dolls and now half my childhood was spent playing with Lalaloopsy dolls and watching videos of other people playing with them. Good times
The house packaging should not have changed because it aligned with the “repurpose” objective of the brand, i love it as a kid, and never ripped my boxes
Peak childhood memories. I always combined my Lalaloopsie minis with my LPS sets so I could pretend like all the girls lived together in that big purple house with their pets.
Lalaloopsys mean so much to me. I was obsessed with them growing up, and my dad would call them “Lapaloopsys” to tease me. He didn’t care for them, but he bought them for me. He’s passed on, but I carry those memories with me 🥲
Japanese person chiming in about Yuki Kimono, OMG she's so cute. I always found Lalaloopsy to be reminiscent of harajuku fashion, I remember as a kid my family thinking they were really cute and very much aligned with a Japanese aesthetic. There is very little representation for specifically Japanese dolls, even today. So pretty much any line with even a nod to us feels very special. I think the geisha look for Yuki is well done and I would have killed for her if she existed when I was a kid! Just a tangent about Japanese representation in the 2000s/2010s: Growing up, pretty much the only representation I had as a little girl was Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Girls. I know many people find that content to be problematic now, but it was never offensive to me or my family. It was nice seeing pieces of our culture become popular and being able to see something familiar in stores. Her perfume bottles had figures on them that were similar to a modern style of Kokeshi Ningyo, a traditional wooden doll for a small girl. Having a purse from that brand was one of the only ways I could proudly show off my culture on a day to day basis. When it came to dolls, there was next to nothing. Occasionally you would get an "asian" themed doll that was horribly inaccurate, or a doll that looked maybe asian if you squinted. For instance, look up the Bratz Tokyo A Go Go dolls...they're not great. Too many liberties were taken with the design and makes it look more like they are wearing Chinese hanfu than a kimono. Best I had was a Mulan doll, she wasn't Japanese, but she was a strong asian character to look up to. That was the sort of vibe then. Japanese and anime inspired dolls were extremely uncommon and did not become more available into the mid 2010s. Yuki was not released until 2014! That same year, the Monster High doll Kiyomi Haunterly was released. This was really the first time I think doll lines started taking asian cultures more seriously and not just lumping them all together. Recently I saw the Rainbow High doll Lila Yamamoto for the first time and was so shocked to see a Japanese doll in a grocery store. And Korean Rainbow High dolls too! The fact that they even recognized the difference made me so happy to see. So much more care is being put into cultural designs in dolls these days and its seriously incredible. I know people say representation matters all the time, but it really does. Thinking about all the Japanese kids who can pick a doll off a shelf that reminds them of themselves and not having to settle brings a tear to my eye. Anyways thanks for bearing with my long comment and I hope it can bring some perspective on the matter!
a bit late to this video but omg i forgot how adorable these character designs are! and it brought back a memory of how much it hurt when you got hit in the with one of the big dolls… that plastic was not forgiving 💀
Lego this, Lego that; have you ever been hit full force with a lalaloopsy doll from a sibling?!? That’s true pain! Especially if they had pointy hair 😭💖
I love Lalaloopsie so much, I always get a weird nostalgia abt them bc my dad bought me and my sister a like. IMPRACTICAL amount of lalaloopsie dolls while he was manic. Like a jawdropping amount. Throughout this video I kept thinking I wouldnt have had the ones showing on screen when I was younger, but we fr had almost every release in the early years 😭 I dont have any anymore bc we sold them all but its crazy looking back on it.
When I was younger, my cousin used to have lalaloopsie dolls and I wanted them so bad so my mom ended up buying me like one or two and eventually my cousin got older she gave a few of hers to me and her mom ended up selling the rest. Somehow I still have two lalaloopsie dolls as of now. I’m not sure what happened to the rest but ever time I look at them I remember opening them at christmas.
Although I made Monster High more of my personality, lalaloopsy was truly the most influential doll line of my childhood. My sibling and I mostly played with lalaloopsies, because it is just easier to have complicated plots and big character dramas with smaller toys. Lalaoopsies were also a big part of how I was able to bond with my younger cousins, who always wanted to play with them when they came over. And they were also a big influence on my own doll making
i think a very underrated part of the lalaloopsy franchise is the DS game. i used to play that so much as a kid even after I had already finished it. actually obsessed. in fact, i associate lalaloopsy with the Nintendo DS because i would go on the website every single day and take pictures of every single new (little) doll that would release whenever they released. i was obsessed with them in such a weird way
when i saw your channel name for the first time i got flooded with memories, i used to love lalaloopsy and i remember playing the 3d flash game very vividly as a kid for hours, and i remember there being a teased lala-oopsy section that i dont think they ever ended up doing
I actually used to own Lalaloopsy’s and can add more info! - the color me’s used paint markers and it stained the clothes (well, mine did) - The swap n’ style dolls have the rubber Polly Pocket clothes texture (just to confirm how the clothing swaps work) - there were Two mermaid dolls (Coral Seashells and Sand E. Stars I think were the names, but less confident on the latter) and they had color change hair, pets that worked as rubber ducks, and two outfits (a tail and swimsuit) - There was a mermaid bubble bath doll line that I distinctly remember owning - there were fantasy minis based off of fairytales (the ones I remember are ones based on Little Red Riding Hood, Miss Mary Muffet, and Peter Pan, but there is more) - There were limited edition gold minis (the only ones I remember are a crumbs and peanut + the litter sisters and pets as a double pack)
Thank you for this video!! I was obsessed with the Lalaloopsy dolls when I was a kid, but never asked for one becuase they weren't "boy" toys, and I knew my parents wouldn't buy me one. I would just go to the toy section and stare at them, lmao. Anyway, this video felt so healing! Like I could finally give into that one interest I was shamed out of as a kid.
Omg u reminded me of so many lalaloopsy things I had that I completely forgot about. I forgot that lalaloopsy had several different spinoffs besides the standard ones.
I was obsessed with Lalaloopsy! The minis were my favourite. I think I only ever owned 1 or 2 big ones. I was watching your Total Drama vid and noticed your name & profile and wondered if you’d ever done a video on them. Thank you so much for this!! THE 3D WORLD OF LALALOOPSY LAND WAS LITERALLY MY FAVOURITE!! I forgot all about it! I spent hours on that as a kid :)
i never realized what a staple of my childhood lalaloopsy was. i owned a lot of the dolls, i owned most of the ds games, i owned the little siblings, the spinoffs (lalaoopsies and the line with those two teen girls?). it’s so cool to reflect on a toy line that actually stuck around for a while! in fact, besides lps, it’s the only toy i ask for now as a teenager for nostalgia.
this is the first time I've heard that the silly haired dolls got any hate. I had two, one regular and one silly haired on. I barely picked up the other one because I absolutely loved my silly haired one. I loved that i could change their hair. whenever I wanted them to express big emotions, I would change the hair according to that emotion
oh my god, these dolls were my childhood! i was a little sad to see my favorite doll wasn’t listed in the video :( but after that, i recognized every single other doll that i owned :)
charlotte charades is my absolute favorite lala! fun fact about her she was first released as a mini in 2011 and then was released as a standard doll in 2012 AND her pet is an "invisible dog" that's basically just a leash lmao 😭 she's an icon, she's a legend and she's the moment! (and she's so expensive😔 but I was lucky enough to find sherri charades her little sister at a flea market)
She was my first and only big one. I had a city of minis that filled a bookbag, but Charlotte was my only big one and I cherished her with my life until my parents got custody of me and I couldn’t take her with me. It was a tragedy 😭🤚🏻
Absolutely obsessed with this video ! It was super well made, and it gave me mad flashbacks of my childhood. I was absolutely OBSESSED with Lalaloopsys. I played the games on the website, had the soft dolls, minis, and even some of the original dolls. Amazing job at organizing and making this video.
Epic video. It's awesome to see somebody did their homework on this brand, and used more than just the wiki. I'm excited for the video on Lalaloopsy media.
When me and my sister were little, we were OBSESSED with Lalaloopsy! Every time my dad went on a work trip, he would bring us back the Mini figures of them. He told me a story about how he was at a Christmas charity event thing with the people from his office, and they needed to make like a fun toy ornament sort of thing, and my dad suggested the mini lalaloopsy dolls and they were a big hit! I yearn for the simplicities of childhood and being so excited for a new episode of lalaloopsy
I’ve been a silent watcher for the longest time, but I love ur videos sm! The editing, and creativity you have is incredible. Keep up with the videos 💗
Omg! I remember having several lalaloopsies, like 120 of them! I was inlove with them when I was younger, unfourtunatly the great donation happened and now I have only around 30 but I have so many memories with these lalaloopsies
I still love Lalaloopsy dolls! Started collecting them when I was around 14 and I have many small ones, the ds game and two medium sized dolls, I got the Alice in wonderland and now they're value is high. So luck I got her back then.
I really miss their early simulation world game 😭 especially the early one when u can go around the lalaloopsy world to explore and visit each character's house. But sadly they removed it and turned it to a map kind of thing after patch treasurechest release
Thank you so much for making this video, I was absolutely obsessed with Lalaloopsy and my mom even asked me if I wanted to start a collection but i said no. I regret that every day, but Im starting to collect them now!!
the nostalgia from this video hits different!! these dolls were so cute and slightly weird in the best and i loved them so much as a kid. i never hear them talked about anymore but they were such a great part of my childhood.
I had such an obsession with the minis! I remember using my calico critters houses and furniture with my Lalaloopsy dolls - I ended up giving away almost my entire collection to a family friend, but you'd have to pry peanut big top from my cold, dead hands.
I have/had so so many Lalaloopsy's! (Like enough to pay off a house lol) and as like a super fan there are a few that you didn't bring up in the video that I noticed. The bubble hair mermaids, the color changing hair mermaids, dancing Peanut Big Top, Goldie Luxe, and Ivory Ice Crystal's. (Last two were notoriously super expensive. Like 80-90 bucks) loved the video and sorry for being a know-it-all. PPS also forgot the Oven. Which wasn't a doll but yk...
I’m a year late, but! I had a silly hair doll in about 2009. I was so excited, and then she was too top-heavy to even sit, she would fall over every time. It made me so sad lmao
omg I had harmony !! I remember finding her again and wondering what these holes in her head was for now I remember it was for hair pieces lol. I LOVED her she was my favorite doll
I have two Lalaloopsy dolls. Cloud E. Skies and Star Magic Spells. Apparently, my dad wanted to buy more for me but I didn't seem too interested in them. Which is really sad because I now regret not caring about my dolls too much 😭
I had the original Jewels and I absolutely loved her! I also had the button tales and I think(?) one of the lalaloopsy girls! I loved the shows too! I never realized there were so many main dolls and so many different lines/products released! thank you for putting another one of these videos together as it documents so many important parts of our childhoods! (I will say the only lalaloopsy product that creeps me out are the silly singers, I don’t know why)
I remember having a doll with orange hair and a caterpillar as a pet with hair pieces and accessories you could attach to her head. One specific memory being that I took the doll and her pet to church. I got them involved in the service.
I’m just now seeing this video but tysm for reminding me that I need to get my lalaloopsy collection from my mom to put on my “childhood shelf” full of my fav toys from when I was little😭🙏
wonderful vid. it’s very interesting, i loved lalas since 2015 so it makes sense for me to love lalaloopsy girls a lot more than the original lalaloopsy but i loved the vid ❤️
very late but I was a big fan of lalaloopsy when I was little, especially the lalaoopsies! I even had made my own "soft doll" version of one because I loved them so much :)
As an only child I relate to what you said a lot! I did really wish I had a sibling because life was lonely and dysfunctional for me. When I was younger, I thought it would’ve been nice to have somebody around who understood. And now I have step siblings, so I think i’m grateful to have grown up alone despite it all! :)
Fantastic video! I love Lalaloopsy and I have a collection of the og dolls, littles, and minis. I fondly remember watching old Lalaloopsy youtubers like 4everlalaloopsy and Allaboutmeep as well as the Nick jr show which made me start collecting them!
When these released I was at that awkward point where my parents had decided I was much too old to get dolls for a gift but not old enough to have my own money to buy them for myself (and since I was still me I still wanted them). I remember seeing them on TV and wanting them so badly, they're so cute. They've always made me smile. Then I moved and didn't have a tv or furniture for several years so there's actually a bunch of these I hadn't seen, and while I felt I could get away with buying myself a Furby from the 2012 reboot, I wasn't confident enough yet to buy a Lalaloopsy for myself considering I literally bought wrapping paper and a random card with the Furby so I could pretend it wasn't for me (very silly, I've very much grown out of that). If I could have only one Lalaloopsy I'd want Haley Galaxy because aliens are one of my favourite things, and she's so cute.
There were also the special edition collector dolls, the Target exclusive holiday themed minis, the build-a-bear collab, and the amigurumi style soft dolls. I remember I never got any Lalaoopsies because I was afraid they would stink. In hindsight I wish I got more of the spin-off stuff like the plush ponies and workshop dolls, well just the ice cream ones because I was obsessed with Scoops.
I used to play with these with my friends on the bus on the way to school And this is just a pure joy to me Edit: I HAVE A LALALOOPSY GIRL!!! I still have my Bee Spells-a-lot, although shes a bit busted up lol, her glasses broke off, but shes still in my doll box :))
Been into these for over a decade. If it weren't for Lalaloopsy, I wouldn't be the toy collector I am today. When they were discontinued before their 10th anniversary relaunch, I collected other stuff (and still do) and I was Peanut for Halloween once because she's my favorite.
Hi I just discovered this channel while re-discovering my childhood love for lalaloopsy (since I started collecting them) and oh my hod you’re my new favorite RUclipsr! Keep up the cool work and I can’t wait to binge watch your channel
as a kiddo, I begged for one of these, eventually my parents got one for something like my 11th birthday. I was given dot starlight. I had forgotten I owned one up until I watched this, but I immediately recognized her blonde hair and chrome outfit with red buttons. Despite being probably the furthest thing from her skin tone, that didn't matter to me. Being a kid who was obsessed with the cosmos, I loved her as much as much as one could love a doll.
Every time I see lalaloopsy I think of this girl i went to elementary school with who loved lalaloopsy and looked like Dot. Hope youre doing good Marissa.
I remember these came around right around the time I was starting to "out-grow" dolls in my preteen mind! I was definitely more into Monster High at the time but my little sisters were *obsessed*, to the point of even coordinating with our cousin on which ones to ask for so theyd have a whole set with no duplicates when they had playdates. That being said, I definitely joined in and loved the 'almost-Coraline' vibe they were giving! And their little pets! I do recall watching an episode or two of the show over at my cousins but we didnt enjoy it too much as we had already made designated attitudes/vibes for certain dolls and not all of them matched up, obviously. I think we kindof fell off of them around the time we started seeing babydoll-sized lalaloopsies! So fun to reflect, get info, and share experiences on everything you cover Lu! (Fun Fact: My younger sisters name is LouLou and we always called her LouLaBelle! :)
Added Character Commentary: I actually DO remember Mittens being labeled as an eskimo! She was actually the 'popular girl' in our games and there were definitely mini fights on who played with her! We definitely noticed the skintone but just labeled her as tan! I wonder what my youngest sister (who's mixed) thought of her at the time. I know she loved Dot! Crumbs was the main character often. Bee was our classical mean-girl. Pillow was always shy/sleepy/softspoken. I also remember the freakout when the babies came along!
my first lalaloopsy was pillow featherbed, i got her at a walmart when they were still called bitty buttons. i still have the poster that came with the doll and it’s hung up on my wall!! and i have the doll too but unfortunately her sweet lamb got lost when i moved :( i even still have her sleeping eye mask! i still love sleepy motifs and pillow featherbed is my favorite lalaloopsy doll for sure. i love sheep as well so i think its fitting :3 funnily enough, i actually have a vivid memory of an earthquake happening while i was crafting a house for her out of cardboard !! its the only earthquake i remember going through. i never did finish the house because it was a bit too ambitious for my crafting skills at the time XD
i was clinically obsessed with the minis. I actually thought they were the main toy and the big dolls were made second. and it wasn't a conscious choice, but i would always go for specifically the brown and medium toned dolls (prob bc i could relate to them, but they also had some of the cutest accesories)
I used to play the game a ton when I was very little!!! I remember the ice skating pond in the snow-themed area and I thought it was so cool that a 3D PC game showed the tracing of the skates when you'd do it. It was definitely a thought that was the product of the early 2010's Also I love that you made a pun at 18:25 and didn't say anything like "I'll see myself out" or even pointed it out after the fact. Part of me is tired of that whole Whedonism-esque gag about hating someone's own puns but telling them anyway
I LOVED THIS AHHH. getting lalaloopsy back in my life since my childhood & it is SO entertaining seeing it talked about with funny ass pop culture references. YOU ATE!!
Lalaloopsy is basically my favorite doll line ever and is also what got me into doll collecting. During the original run, I bought Forest Evergreen, Prairie Dusty Trails and Little Baa Peep, and a friend in Canada found a Pillow Featherbed in excellent condition in a thrift store and sent it to me as a gift. I later acquired Jewel Sparkles and Mittens Fluff n Stuff in the 2021 reboot. As far as the Nick Jr cartoon goes, I loved it. An interesting fact is that the voice of Spot Splatter Splash was none other than current pop star Tate McRae when she was a kid.
I never knew the lore and only had dot starlight as a miniature doll version, yet I think that she was my fav I loved the chrome, her characteristics being about stargazing and her cool design didn’t know she existed as a regular doll as a kid or I would have gotten one !
THIS GAVE ME SUCH GODDAMN NOSTALGIA 6:27 THE TEA PARTY SET WAS MY FAVORITE i still have all of my old lalaloopsies THE BEDTIME STORIES BOOK AND BED??? I had an entire house, pillow and the one girl who is like mint chocolate chip themed were my favorites to play with, i pretended like they were married lol, and that pillow had the pink cat pet instead of the sheep so many memories are coming back 7:06 i literally have those two from that exact set😭😭😭 I HAVE THE SEARCH FOR PILLOW DOWNLOADED ON MY LEAPFROG TABLET that's how you know im genz fr 3:59 I had those exact 2 horses😭 help why am i like this I had confetti carnival with the masquerade mask and peggy sevenseas omg wait i had the lion one too OH MY GOD POLLY POCKET i always wanted to eat that stupid purple jacket! my last one was the bubblegum one from 2016, i would have been 9 at the time
Dot was my childhood doll, my mom got her for me when i was little and she meant a lot to me ALSO THE SOLLY HAIR IS TOP TIER FOR ME I LOVE CHEWING ON THE HAIR
I honestly did not know that this line even existed! But i was not a big doll fan as a kid.. so yeah. But! I love looking at obscure or little known histories of stuff! And old web and old toy lines and such! I also really love just watching and listening to people talk about their interests and what they love and or are nostalgic for! So yeah, this was a great video! Thank you!
I collect lalaloopsy dolls and have around 50 or so of the minis and 7 large dolls but im still trying to expand my collection! I love seeing people make lalaloopsy content as a current fan and collector :)
I would have needed this as a kid. There was nothing about lalaloopsy except the toys and the show (but I couldn't watch the show) and my entire world revolved around my lalaloopsies.
wait…. is isss…. is mittens fluff… alaska native then??!? i love seeing ak native dolls specifically especially if they arent like. dressed up in a parka! huge win for me despite rude tagline
I found your channel about 3 days ago and I've been obsessed with you ever since. I dream about you and it brings me so much joy to tune in to one of your episodes
can i just say that I love your make up so much? you're very adorable i'm discovering lalaloopsies in my adulthood and kinda wanting a doll ,i never grew out of liking cute things😭
Aaaa this was such a good video! The tiny ones remind me a lot of Squinkies, if anyone had those ^^ I only ever had one big Lalaloopsy but I had a TON of the minis! They were my faves hehe
This was such a fun video to watch even if it's all just info dumping about the toy lines lol. I'm a man but my guilty pleasure since I was little is being instantly hooked to anything "meant for girls" when it came to animated shows and toys. So ofc I also had a phase with Lalaloopsy. The dolls were really really rare were I live and very expensive too so it wasn't really common to see many girls around owning one at all but ofc there were always some few exceptions. But honesty just watching the trailers for the toys and the music was enough for me. When it comes to Lalaloopsy I think the thing I enjoyed the most was the show lmao and here is were my little baby brother carried me like a champ cus thanks to me being the one that took care of him on afternoons I always had the perfect excuse to watch the Lalaloopsy tv series (with him). And well, now I'm an adult... with money, maybe one of these days the nostalgia is gonna hit hard and I'm gonna end up buying one online.
Its so sad to hear that Dot Starlight was neglected in terms of merchandising, she’s my favorite Loopsey besides the one with the pet mouse (she was my first lalaloopsey)
I KEEP REMEMBERING ALL THE ONES I HAD HELPP I had two lalaOopsys which was the mermaid and the fairy and then I remember I also had one of the diaper surprise (sadly I remember having one) and that’s really the only ones I had, also my Crumbs doll was a softer one (I’m not sure if it was a plush or not) but I still loved them

i was obsessed with these when i was little! other kids my age thought that they were creepy, but i found them cute and endearing!
the colors & designs are so colorful + fun! i never understood why people found them odd..
I'm almost 26 and lalaloopsey came out when I was aging out of the doll demographic so I saw nobody in my circle talking about them. They do remind me of Raggedy Anne and Andy that the boomers and GenX like, I used to have coloring books of them. Also this was the early 2010's the dolls came out during a time when creepy dolls are on full display by the movies and creepypasta culture so of course people will have an aversion to rag and porcelain dolls.
@@lulaloopseyI don’t think it helps that Coraline came out the year prior and made button eyes feel scary.
@@lulaloopseybecause they look like flesh eating zombies from hell.
Why do some people find Lalaloopy creepy? Simple: Coraline happened.
Your entire life has been leading to this moment.
the prophecy has been fulfilled

@@lulaloopseyAt 63 years old even relating to your deep passion and devotion to something I must say I am amazed to find myself here and actually eager to learn. My lifelong passion and devotion has been for the Harley Davidson Motorcycle and vintage merchandise. Living most of my life looking like a walking and talking advertisement in my time known as a Biker Chick. 😂❤
I had to share that as I feel the leap from HD to LLL is a long rather unexpected.
My introduction to what I believe are dolls that Rock their vibes much like I did was thru believe it or not a popular item called the blind bag it was a long time before I realized they lived outside of tiny paint tins and miniature purses lol. That being why I'm here very happy to meet you and become a new Subscriber. I will say the desire for information brought me but your lovely personality as well as being an intelligent and entertaining content provider kept me here and will keep me coming back and enjoying your playlists. A LalaLoopsey fan🎉 who'd a ever thunk it.😂😅😊❤
I LOVE LALALOOPSY
@@lulaloopseyyep it has
i always associated them with coraline, not just because of the button eyes, but because they both used the same "can you do the can can" melody in their advertisements.
YES ALL THE LALALOOPSY COMMERCIALS WERE SET TO THAT SONG LOL
Yes! I saw Coraline long before I found out about Lalaloopsie so I just can't separate the two from each other.
SAME LMFAO, I had JUST first watched and gotten traumatized by Coraline like a week before Lalaloopsie launched as a cartoon and doll line in my country, and I was haunted by the cartoon for months being forced to watch it bc my little sister liked it
Which, honestly, very sad bc I think I would've enjoyed Lalaloopsie a lot otherwise
I never really associated the toys with coraline, I respectfully enjoyed them separately as two different trademarks.
ah yes, the Orpheus In the Underworld overture (I only know that's what it is because of Taiko no Tatsujin lol)
I grew up in a hospital where Raggedy Anne was basically the mascot. So I appreciated that shoutout.
I love raggedy ann and andy sm
looking at my raggedy ann and andy doll right now. i love old toys ^_^
I was probably the .0001% of kids who saved the mini lalaloopsy packaging houses and repurposed them into a little city I built with my own two 12 year old hands. Also hearing the theme song made my inner child cry happy tears!
I SAVED EM! I STILL HAVE THOSE AND I PLAY WITH THEM
I had Blossom Flowerpot when I was younger !! Her design is literally THE CUTEST thing ever!! Lowkey this video makes me want to start collecting Lalaloopsies. Their designs are EVERYTHING!!
Also great work acknowledging controversies and just racist shit in the series. I feel like the doll community has some rlly toxic ppl, so I'm rlly happy u addressed all that!!
I have mini blossom flowerpot! I got her in a charity shop (it’s only the doll lol no accessories or pets, it also started my collection lol)
I’m disappointed to see that they changed Dots Starlights skin color. 😢 As a darker black girl Dot was my favorite
Yeah, I think it's awesome they gave her such a mainline role at all. But I get your take. I wonder if it had anything to do with changtng voice actors?
Wait when did they do that? Did I just miss it?
Wdym?, Dot is still Dark
I absolutely love this, finally someone who actually does research and is not just nostalgia baiting!
more info:
-Dot Starlight, while excluded from merchandising 100% of the time, she never failed to make an appearance in all forms of medias.
-the Silly Funhouse Peanut & Ember 2-pack is from mid 2012.
-Silly Hair was incredibly well received, getting 11 large doll releases (+ 3 more in 2021) aswell as 6 Silly Hair Littles.
-Button Tails plushies were not released for, or in relation to a corresponding video game. the promotional videos would often advertise their game/activity filled website at the end.
-Pet Pals were not based on the pets of lalaloopsy. all releases for this spin off were original characters and were meant to be just random anthropomorphic animals living in lalaloopsy land as people. random but yeah.
-Lalaloopsy Babies as a toy line wasn't that remarkable, but the movie released for the line, "Lalaloopsy Babies: First Steps" gave us a lot of lore/origin info about the Lalaloopsy characters.
-its mentioned that Whirly Stretchy Locks has a sewn on date on Lollipop day, every Lalaloopsy character has a sewn on date in correspondence with a holiday that goes with their theme.
-series 1 of Mystery Paint Cans were releases of pre existing minis
(though there were four "chaser" minis exclusively available through the cans)
but series 2 of the Cans, aswell as series 1 & 2 of the Mystery Purses, had entirely new style n swap minis.
(series 1 & 2 of Mystery Purses were basically series 3 & 4 of the Pain Cans, they just changed the shape)
-It's not certain whether or not Lalaloopsy is here to stay, rumor has it, the 2021 rerelease didn't sell well, in fact you can find most of them heavily discounted on Amazon for like $15 $10 i've seen $5 even. it's unlikely that we'll see anymore releases. most speculate that it was a lack of advertising that led to the 2021 rereleases flopping.
~~~
Ahhhhhh i loved this video, YOU ATE! I've seen a lot of these kinds of videos where they hardly know what they're talking about 😭 but this one is perfectly perfect~ Thank u for making this, i enjoyed watching 💞
AAAH so glad you enjoyed! 🫶 also about silly hair i’m aware it was well received that was more of my opinion on the line & a take i’ve seen from fans !
That's so sad that the rerelease did not sell well! I was hoping we would get to see some new dolls or even re-release some older dolls.
I had a lalaloopsy littles silly hair as a kid 😭😭 I lost all the pieces lol
I WAS ALMOST WONDERING IF I ENTIRELY DREAMED THE BABIES MOVIE!! Thank you for mentioning it! My favorite thing from it is when in the beginning, Crumbs is sucking her thumb, and then on of the other girls starts doing the same thing and Crumbs just says, “I made it!” I don’t know why I just think it’s funny
I must've unintentionally watched the search for pillow like. 20 times while supervising my baby sister like ages ago. though thinking about my fondness for this series today as a late-teenage boy makes me feel really embarrassed inside. but idgaf anymore this stuff was (and remains) awesome
Same
I remember watching that movie on RUclips a few years ago and I couldn’t really understand what the characters were saying because I wasn’t good at English back then.
Me and my sisters have it on DVD and watched it all the time
My annual Lalaloopsy phase is coming back man, every now and again I'll get obsessed again and play with my dolls lol. I grew up with em man and I still love them.
i want to start collecting them again i always keep an eye out second hand !
@@lulaloopsey Same!!!
@@lulaloopsey I think you can still find them on Amazon, eBay, Facebook Marketplace, the Walmart website/app, and other online stores. However, I'm not entirely sure. I really hope this helps!
I'm unsure if you said this in the latter half of the video, but Dot eventually got a little sister!! It took 11 years, but she was released during the rereleases in 2021 and she's a cutie :) kinda sad her pet was a recolor of Specs tho
Fun Fact: 3:18 While Dot doesn't have any variations of herself, Dot was eventually given a little sister. Comet Starlight was released in 2021, 11 years after Dot. Any child around that time are either teens or young adults. My guess is they thought Dot didn't need a sibling, but seeing as she was part of the original, they said "Screw it" and give her one. Only hardcore Lalaloopsy fans brought and kept Dot and brought Comet when she came out.
I remember being 5-6 years old when Lalaloopsy was still fresh in like 2011-2012 which was also when I got my first Lalaloopsy dolls April Sunsplash and Cloud E Sky. I didn’t really vibe with them at first but I still pretended to play with them just to make my dad happy, very quickly did I become invested in these dolls and now half my childhood was spent playing with Lalaloopsy dolls and watching videos of other people playing with them. Good times
The house packaging should not have changed because it aligned with the “repurpose” objective of the brand, i love it as a kid, and never ripped my boxes
Peak childhood memories. I always combined my Lalaloopsie minis with my LPS sets so I could pretend like all the girls lived together in that big purple house with their pets.
I also had every pretty much every single doll from every single line except the blind bag ones.
Lalaloopsys mean so much to me. I was obsessed with them growing up, and my dad would call them “Lapaloopsys” to tease me. He didn’t care for them, but he bought them for me. He’s passed on, but I carry those memories with me 🥲
My mum called them "lalapalooza" once
My mom teasingly called them “Charraloopsies” which essentially translates to “Lameloopsies” in Spanish but she loved them as much as me 💕 good times
Japanese person chiming in about Yuki Kimono, OMG she's so cute. I always found Lalaloopsy to be reminiscent of harajuku fashion, I remember as a kid my family thinking they were really cute and very much aligned with a Japanese aesthetic. There is very little representation for specifically Japanese dolls, even today. So pretty much any line with even a nod to us feels very special. I think the geisha look for Yuki is well done and I would have killed for her if she existed when I was a kid!
Just a tangent about Japanese representation in the 2000s/2010s:
Growing up, pretty much the only representation I had as a little girl was Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Girls. I know many people find that content to be problematic now, but it was never offensive to me or my family. It was nice seeing pieces of our culture become popular and being able to see something familiar in stores. Her perfume bottles had figures on them that were similar to a modern style of Kokeshi Ningyo, a traditional wooden doll for a small girl. Having a purse from that brand was one of the only ways I could proudly show off my culture on a day to day basis.
When it came to dolls, there was next to nothing. Occasionally you would get an "asian" themed doll that was horribly inaccurate, or a doll that looked maybe asian if you squinted. For instance, look up the Bratz Tokyo A Go Go dolls...they're not great. Too many liberties were taken with the design and makes it look more like they are wearing Chinese hanfu than a kimono. Best I had was a Mulan doll, she wasn't Japanese, but she was a strong asian character to look up to. That was the sort of vibe then. Japanese and anime inspired dolls were extremely uncommon and did not become more available into the mid 2010s. Yuki was not released until 2014! That same year, the Monster High doll Kiyomi Haunterly was released. This was really the first time I think doll lines started taking asian cultures more seriously and not just lumping them all together.
Recently I saw the Rainbow High doll Lila Yamamoto for the first time and was so shocked to see a Japanese doll in a grocery store. And Korean Rainbow High dolls too! The fact that they even recognized the difference made me so happy to see. So much more care is being put into cultural designs in dolls these days and its seriously incredible. I know people say representation matters all the time, but it really does. Thinking about all the Japanese kids who can pick a doll off a shelf that reminds them of themselves and not having to settle brings a tear to my eye. Anyways thanks for bearing with my long comment and I hope it can bring some perspective on the matter!
thank you so much for your insight!
a bit late to this video but
omg i forgot how adorable these character designs are!
and it brought back a memory of how much it hurt when you got hit in the with one of the big dolls… that plastic was not forgiving 💀
Lego this, Lego that; have you ever been hit full force with a lalaloopsy doll from a sibling?!? That’s true pain! Especially if they had pointy hair 😭💖
Hahaha this unlocked so many memories
I love Lalaloopsie so much, I always get a weird nostalgia abt them bc my dad bought me and my sister a like. IMPRACTICAL amount of lalaloopsie dolls while he was manic. Like a jawdropping amount. Throughout this video I kept thinking I wouldnt have had the ones showing on screen when I was younger, but we fr had almost every release in the early years 😭 I dont have any anymore bc we sold them all but its crazy looking back on it.
When I was younger, my cousin used to have lalaloopsie dolls and I wanted them so bad so my mom ended up buying me like one or two and eventually my cousin got older she gave a few of hers to me and her mom ended up selling the rest. Somehow I still have two lalaloopsie dolls as of now. I’m not sure what happened to the rest but ever time I look at them I remember opening them at christmas.
Although I made Monster High more of my personality, lalaloopsy was truly the most influential doll line of my childhood. My sibling and I mostly played with lalaloopsies, because it is just easier to have complicated plots and big character dramas with smaller toys. Lalaoopsies were also a big part of how I was able to bond with my younger cousins, who always wanted to play with them when they came over. And they were also a big influence on my own doll making
i think a very underrated part of the lalaloopsy franchise is the DS game. i used to play that so much as a kid even after I had already finished it. actually obsessed. in fact, i associate lalaloopsy with the Nintendo DS because i would go on the website every single day and take pictures of every single new (little) doll that would release whenever they released. i was obsessed with them in such a weird way
omg yes!! i still have it too!! i do visit it every once in a while:)
Thank you for making me aware of this, totally getting this immediately
when i saw your channel name for the first time i got flooded with memories, i used to love lalaloopsy and i remember playing the 3d flash game very vividly as a kid for hours, and i remember there being a teased lala-oopsy section that i dont think they ever ended up doing
i remember having tons of the dolls too and i still have the song burnt into my brain to this day
I actually used to own Lalaloopsy’s and can add more info!
- the color me’s used paint markers and it stained the clothes (well, mine did)
- The swap n’ style dolls have the rubber Polly Pocket clothes texture (just to confirm how the clothing swaps work)
- there were Two mermaid dolls (Coral Seashells and Sand E. Stars I think were the names, but less confident on the latter) and they had color change hair, pets that worked as rubber ducks, and two outfits (a tail and swimsuit)
- There was a mermaid bubble bath doll line that I distinctly remember owning
- there were fantasy minis based off of fairytales (the ones I remember are ones based on Little Red Riding Hood, Miss Mary Muffet, and Peter Pan, but there is more)
- There were limited edition gold minis (the only ones I remember are a crumbs and peanut + the litter sisters and pets as a double pack)
Storm E actually was introduced in the Girls spinoff. I also remember that they did a toy version of her van lol
oooh i should’ve been more specific i meant she became more of a regular character
Thank you for this video!! I was obsessed with the Lalaloopsy dolls when I was a kid, but never asked for one becuase they weren't "boy" toys, and I knew my parents wouldn't buy me one. I would just go to the toy section and stare at them, lmao. Anyway, this video felt so healing! Like I could finally give into that one interest I was shamed out of as a kid.
So real
Omg u reminded me of so many lalaloopsy things I had that I completely forgot about. I forgot that lalaloopsy had several different spinoffs besides the standard ones.
I was obsessed with Lalaloopsy! The minis were my favourite. I think I only ever owned 1 or 2 big ones. I was watching your Total Drama vid and noticed your name & profile and wondered if you’d ever done a video on them. Thank you so much for this!!
THE 3D WORLD OF LALALOOPSY LAND WAS LITERALLY MY FAVOURITE!! I forgot all about it! I spent hours on that as a kid :)
the big ones scared me and felt unnatural but to be fair that was coraline's fault
I literally didn't even watch this video yet just by title ALONE I immediately subscribed
i never realized what a staple of my childhood lalaloopsy was. i owned a lot of the dolls, i owned most of the ds games, i owned the little siblings, the spinoffs (lalaoopsies and the line with those two teen girls?). it’s so cool to reflect on a toy line that actually stuck around for a while! in fact, besides lps, it’s the only toy i ask for now as a teenager for nostalgia.
These dolls were my childhood collectible. They have such a special place in my heart
sameee !!
I remember seeing the commercials for these on TV. I always felt that these dolls were pretty intriguing even though I was out of the target age range
this is the first time I've heard that the silly haired dolls got any hate. I had two, one regular and one silly haired on. I barely picked up the other one because I absolutely loved my silly haired one. I loved that i could change their hair. whenever I wanted them to express big emotions, I would change the hair according to that emotion
which ones were they
“DiApEr SuRpRiSe!!!!”
*ad immediately starts playing*
I vividly remember seeing that ad on a commercial break between SpongeBob episodes when I was 9 LOL
What?!
oh my god, these dolls were my childhood! i was a little sad to see my favorite doll wasn’t listed in the video :( but after that, i recognized every single other doll that i owned :)
charlotte charades is my absolute favorite lala!
fun fact about her she was first released as a mini in 2011 and then was released as a standard doll in 2012 AND her pet is an "invisible dog" that's basically just a leash lmao 😭 she's an icon, she's a legend and she's the moment!
(and she's so expensive😔 but I was lucky enough to find sherri charades her little sister at a flea market)
She was my first and only big one. I had a city of minis that filled a bookbag, but Charlotte was my only big one and I cherished her with my life until my parents got custody of me and I couldn’t take her with me. It was a tragedy 😭🤚🏻
Absolutely obsessed with this video ! It was super well made, and it gave me mad flashbacks of my childhood. I was absolutely OBSESSED with Lalaloopsys. I played the games on the website, had the soft dolls, minis, and even some of the original dolls. Amazing job at organizing and making this video.
Epic video. It's awesome to see somebody did their homework on this brand, and used more than just the wiki. I'm excited for the video on Lalaloopsy media.
so glad you enjoyed :)
When me and my sister were little, we were OBSESSED with Lalaloopsy! Every time my dad went on a work trip, he would bring us back the Mini figures of them. He told me a story about how he was at a Christmas charity event thing with the people from his office, and they needed to make like a fun toy ornament sort of thing, and my dad suggested the mini lalaloopsy dolls and they were a big hit! I yearn for the simplicities of childhood and being so excited for a new episode of lalaloopsy
I’ve been a silent watcher for the longest time, but I love ur videos sm! The editing, and creativity you have is incredible. Keep up with the videos 💗
I still have all of my dolls in my closet, I can’t imagine giving them away
Omg! I remember having several lalaloopsies, like 120 of them! I was inlove with them when I was younger, unfourtunatly the great donation happened and now I have only around 30 but I have so many memories with these lalaloopsies
I still love Lalaloopsy dolls! Started collecting them when I was around 14 and I have many small ones, the ds game and two medium sized dolls, I got the Alice in wonderland and now they're value is high. So luck I got her back then.
I really miss their early simulation world game 😭 especially the early one when u can go around the lalaloopsy world to explore and visit each character's house. But sadly they removed it and turned it to a map kind of thing after patch treasurechest release
Thank you so much for making this video, I was absolutely obsessed with Lalaloopsy and my mom even asked me if I wanted to start a collection but i said no. I regret that every day, but Im starting to collect them now!!
this thing has been hiding in the back of my fucking head for years THANK YOU SO MUCH I AM SO HAPPY I FINALLY REMEMBERED THESE
16:42 I found Haley Galaxy in a thrift store the other day! I haven’t seen Lalaloopsies in years so I was so excited and bought her
I wonder how many kids were scared of Lalaloopsy because of Coraline
the nostalgia from this video hits different!! these dolls were so cute and slightly weird in the best and i loved them so much as a kid. i never hear them talked about anymore but they were such a great part of my childhood.
I had such an obsession with the minis! I remember using my calico critters houses and furniture with my Lalaloopsy dolls - I ended up giving away almost my entire collection to a family friend, but you'd have to pry peanut big top from my cold, dead hands.
I have/had so so many Lalaloopsy's! (Like enough to pay off a house lol) and as like a super fan there are a few that you didn't bring up in the video that I noticed. The bubble hair mermaids, the color changing hair mermaids, dancing Peanut Big Top, Goldie Luxe, and Ivory Ice Crystal's. (Last two were notoriously super expensive. Like 80-90 bucks) loved the video and sorry for being a know-it-all. PPS also forgot the Oven. Which wasn't a doll but yk...
I’m a year late, but! I had a silly hair doll in about 2009. I was so excited, and then she was too top-heavy to even sit, she would fall over every time. It made me so sad lmao
omg I had harmony !! I remember finding her again and wondering what these holes in her head was for now I remember it was for hair pieces lol. I LOVED her she was my favorite doll
Such fond memories with my sister and I with Lalaloopsies. We used to have the collector book and dreamed about having all the dolls lol!
SAME OMG
I have two Lalaloopsy dolls. Cloud E. Skies and Star Magic Spells. Apparently, my dad wanted to buy more for me but I didn't seem too interested in them.
Which is really sad because I now regret not caring about my dolls too much 😭
I had the original Jewels and I absolutely loved her! I also had the button tales and I think(?) one of the lalaloopsy girls! I loved the shows too! I never realized there were so many main dolls and so many different lines/products released! thank you for putting another one of these videos together as it documents so many important parts of our childhoods! (I will say the only lalaloopsy product that creeps me out are the silly singers, I don’t know why)
30:08 Reminds me weirdly of some early-era G5 MLP merch, with there being repaints of late era G4 merch.
I remember having a doll with orange hair and a caterpillar as a pet with hair pieces and accessories you could attach to her head. One specific memory being that I took the doll and her pet to church. I got them involved in the service.
I’m just now seeing this video but tysm for reminding me that I need to get my lalaloopsy collection from my mom to put on my “childhood shelf” full of my fav toys from when I was little😭🙏
wonderful vid. it’s very interesting, i loved lalas since 2015 so it makes sense for me to love lalaloopsy girls a lot more than the original lalaloopsy but i loved the vid ❤️
i lowkey want one now they are very unique 🤭
I am not ashamed to admit I was a fan of this franchise. It just resonated with me for some reason.
if i don’t get my hands on one of those ponies i think i’ll die
They’re pretty cheap on eBay. I have… too many at this point lol
very late but I was a big fan of lalaloopsy when I was little, especially the lalaoopsies! I even had made my own "soft doll" version of one because I loved them so much :)
As an only child I relate to what you said a lot! I did really wish I had a sibling because life was lonely and dysfunctional for me. When I was younger, I thought it would’ve been nice to have somebody around who understood. And now I have step siblings, so I think i’m grateful to have grown up alone despite it all! :)
Fantastic video! I love Lalaloopsy and I have a collection of the og dolls, littles, and minis. I fondly remember watching old Lalaloopsy youtubers like 4everlalaloopsy and Allaboutmeep as well as the Nick jr show which made me start collecting them!
My babysitter used to get the mini ones for me and I loved them so much, I still have all of them! Definitely one of my favorite childhood toys
When these released I was at that awkward point where my parents had decided I was much too old to get dolls for a gift but not old enough to have my own money to buy them for myself (and since I was still me I still wanted them). I remember seeing them on TV and wanting them so badly, they're so cute. They've always made me smile. Then I moved and didn't have a tv or furniture for several years so there's actually a bunch of these I hadn't seen, and while I felt I could get away with buying myself a Furby from the 2012 reboot, I wasn't confident enough yet to buy a Lalaloopsy for myself considering I literally bought wrapping paper and a random card with the Furby so I could pretend it wasn't for me (very silly, I've very much grown out of that).
If I could have only one Lalaloopsy I'd want Haley Galaxy because aliens are one of my favourite things, and she's so cute.
There were also the special edition collector dolls, the Target exclusive holiday themed minis, the build-a-bear collab, and the amigurumi style soft dolls. I remember I never got any Lalaoopsies because I was afraid they would stink. In hindsight I wish I got more of the spin-off stuff like the plush ponies and workshop dolls, well just the ice cream ones because I was obsessed with Scoops.
I had a Tippy Tumbleina growing up! This video was so nostalgic and so well done
I used to play with these with my friends on the bus on the way to school
And this is just a pure joy to me
Edit: I HAVE A LALALOOPSY GIRL!!! I still have my Bee Spells-a-lot, although shes a bit busted up lol, her glasses broke off, but shes still in my doll box :))
Been into these for over a decade. If it weren't for Lalaloopsy, I wouldn't be the toy collector I am today. When they were discontinued before their 10th anniversary relaunch, I collected other stuff (and still do) and I was Peanut for Halloween once because she's my favorite.
Hi I just discovered this channel while re-discovering my childhood love for lalaloopsy (since I started collecting them) and oh my hod you’re my new favorite RUclipsr! Keep up the cool work and I can’t wait to binge watch your channel
as a kiddo, I begged for one of these, eventually my parents got one for something like my 11th birthday. I was given dot starlight. I had forgotten I owned one up until I watched this, but I immediately recognized her blonde hair and chrome outfit with red buttons. Despite being probably the furthest thing from her skin tone, that didn't matter to me. Being a kid who was obsessed with the cosmos, I loved her as much as much as one could love a doll.
Every time I see lalaloopsy I think of this girl i went to elementary school with who loved lalaloopsy and looked like Dot. Hope youre doing good Marissa.
I remember these came around right around the time I was starting to "out-grow" dolls in my preteen mind! I was definitely more into Monster High at the time but my little sisters were *obsessed*, to the point of even coordinating with our cousin on which ones to ask for so theyd have a whole set with no duplicates when they had playdates. That being said, I definitely joined in and loved the 'almost-Coraline' vibe they were giving! And their little pets! I do recall watching an episode or two of the show over at my cousins but we didnt enjoy it too much as we had already made designated attitudes/vibes for certain dolls and not all of them matched up, obviously. I think we kindof fell off of them around the time we started seeing babydoll-sized lalaloopsies! So fun to reflect, get info, and share experiences on everything you cover Lu! (Fun Fact: My younger sisters name is LouLou and we always called her LouLaBelle! :)
Added Character Commentary: I actually DO remember Mittens being labeled as an eskimo! She was actually the 'popular girl' in our games and there were definitely mini fights on who played with her! We definitely noticed the skintone but just labeled her as tan! I wonder what my youngest sister (who's mixed) thought of her at the time. I know she loved Dot! Crumbs was the main character often. Bee was our classical mean-girl. Pillow was always shy/sleepy/softspoken. I also remember the freakout when the babies came along!
my first lalaloopsy was pillow featherbed, i got her at a walmart when they were still called bitty buttons. i still have the poster that came with the doll and it’s hung up on my wall!! and i have the doll too but unfortunately her sweet lamb got lost when i moved :( i even still have her sleeping eye mask! i still love sleepy motifs and pillow featherbed is my favorite lalaloopsy doll for sure. i love sheep as well so i think its fitting :3
funnily enough, i actually have a vivid memory of an earthquake happening while i was crafting a house for her out of cardboard !! its the only earthquake i remember going through. i never did finish the house because it was a bit too ambitious for my crafting skills at the time XD
The lalaloopsy girls line is so cute actually
i was clinically obsessed with the minis. I actually thought they were the main toy and the big dolls were made second. and it wasn't a conscious choice, but i would always go for specifically the brown and medium toned dolls (prob bc i could relate to them, but they also had some of the cutest accesories)
I used to play the game a ton when I was very little!!! I remember the ice skating pond in the snow-themed area and I thought it was so cool that a 3D PC game showed the tracing of the skates when you'd do it. It was definitely a thought that was the product of the early 2010's
Also I love that you made a pun at 18:25 and didn't say anything like "I'll see myself out" or even pointed it out after the fact. Part of me is tired of that whole Whedonism-esque gag about hating someone's own puns but telling them anyway
I LOVED THIS AHHH. getting lalaloopsy back in my life since my childhood & it is SO entertaining seeing it talked about with funny ass pop culture references. YOU ATE!!
Lalaloopsy is basically my favorite doll line ever and is also what got me into doll collecting. During the original run, I bought Forest Evergreen, Prairie Dusty Trails and Little Baa Peep, and a friend in Canada found a Pillow Featherbed in excellent condition in a thrift store and sent it to me as a gift. I later acquired Jewel Sparkles and Mittens Fluff n Stuff in the 2021 reboot.
As far as the Nick Jr cartoon goes, I loved it. An interesting fact is that the voice of Spot Splatter Splash was none other than current pop star Tate McRae when she was a kid.
I never knew the lore and only had dot starlight as a miniature doll version, yet I think that she was my fav I loved the chrome, her characteristics being about stargazing and her cool design didn’t know she existed as a regular doll as a kid or I would have gotten one !
omg thank you so much for this video this was my favorite toy line EVER aside from mlp! i feel sm nostalgia rn 🩷🩷
i regret selling my mini lalaloopsies from my childhood huhuhu :'((
THIS GAVE ME SUCH GODDAMN NOSTALGIA 6:27 THE TEA PARTY SET WAS MY FAVORITE i still have all of my old lalaloopsies
THE BEDTIME STORIES BOOK AND BED??? I had an entire house, pillow and the one girl who is like mint chocolate chip themed were my favorites to play with, i pretended like they were married lol, and that pillow had the pink cat pet instead of the sheep
so many memories are coming back
7:06 i literally have those two from that exact set😭😭😭
I HAVE THE SEARCH FOR PILLOW DOWNLOADED ON MY LEAPFROG TABLET that's how you know im genz fr
3:59 I had those exact 2 horses😭 help why am i like this
I had confetti carnival with the masquerade mask and peggy sevenseas
omg wait i had the lion one too
OH MY GOD POLLY POCKET i always wanted to eat that stupid purple jacket!
my last one was the bubblegum one from 2016, i would have been 9 at the time
Dot was my childhood doll, my mom got her for me when i was little and she meant a lot to me ALSO THE SOLLY HAIR IS TOP TIER FOR ME I LOVE CHEWING ON THE HAIR
I honestly did not know that this line even existed! But i was not a big doll fan as a kid.. so yeah.
But! I love looking at obscure or little known histories of stuff! And old web and old toy lines and such! I also really love just watching and listening to people talk about their interests and what they love and or are nostalgic for!
So yeah, this was a great video! Thank you!
I'm so late but you just revived my lalaloopsy obsession😭 After watching this i went and bought a whole lot of them!!!
I collect lalaloopsy dolls and have around 50 or so of the minis and 7 large dolls but im still trying to expand my collection! I love seeing people make lalaloopsy content as a current fan and collector :)
I would have needed this as a kid. There was nothing about lalaloopsy except the toys and the show (but I couldn't watch the show) and my entire world revolved around my lalaloopsies.
wait…. is isss…. is mittens fluff… alaska native then??!? i love seeing ak native dolls specifically especially if they arent like. dressed up in a parka! huge win for me despite rude tagline
I thought she was black as a child so she was my fav💀 damn I’m dumb lmao
I found your channel about 3 days ago and I've been obsessed with you ever since. I dream about you and it brings me so much joy to tune in to one of your episodes
can i just say that I love your make up so much? you're very adorable
i'm discovering lalaloopsies in my adulthood and kinda wanting a doll ,i never grew out of liking cute things😭
Aaaa this was such a good video! The tiny ones remind me a lot of Squinkies, if anyone had those ^^ I only ever had one big Lalaloopsy but I had a TON of the minis! They were my faves hehe
This was such a fun video to watch even if it's all just info dumping about the toy lines lol. I'm a man but my guilty pleasure since I was little is being instantly hooked to anything "meant for girls" when it came to animated shows and toys. So ofc I also had a phase with Lalaloopsy.
The dolls were really really rare were I live and very expensive too so it wasn't really common to see many girls around owning one at all but ofc there were always some few exceptions. But honesty just watching the trailers for the toys and the music was enough for me.
When it comes to Lalaloopsy I think the thing I enjoyed the most was the show lmao and here is were my little baby brother carried me like a champ cus thanks to me being the one that took care of him on afternoons I always had the perfect excuse to watch the Lalaloopsy tv series (with him).
And well, now I'm an adult... with money, maybe one of these days the nostalgia is gonna hit hard and I'm gonna end up buying one online.
I had a bath time mermaid lalaloopsey doll. She had a removable tail and color changing hair.
You don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for this video lol
it was truly so worth it!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO YESSSSS!!!❤❤❤💖💖💖😭😭😭 I love lalaloopsy! I still have all of my mini dolls and I still love them so much! 🥰🥰🥰
Its so sad to hear that Dot Starlight was neglected in terms of merchandising, she’s my favorite Loopsey besides the one with the pet mouse (she was my first lalaloopsey)
Crumbs Sugar Cookies was my first lalaloopsey doll and it was a hand me down from my older cousin
I KEEP REMEMBERING ALL THE ONES I HAD HELPP
I had two lalaOopsys which was the mermaid and the fairy and then I remember I also had one of the diaper surprise (sadly I remember having one) and that’s really the only ones I had, also my Crumbs doll was a softer one (I’m not sure if it was a plush or not) but I still loved them
