To me the most fun part of my dolls is being able to see all the details up close, pose them & feel the fabrics/materials. I love unboxing mine. Not to mention they sometimes get kind of funky in the box. BTW I love your glasses charms!
Apparently exposure to light, heat and oxygen causes rubber to degrade. Barbie is my fave collection I'm pretty new and have just ordered my first Silkstone! So excited and grateful that others love dolls as much as me. My family dismisses my love for them, I only have sons and my partner absolutely does not support my habit, love ur channel x 🪆🧸🌺🌷💐
Some people act like the boxes are a uv protected, air type, humidity controlled environment. They were NOT designed to protect the doll. They were designed to entice you to buy. It's fine if you want to keep dolls in box because you think it looks good. They were designed to look good! It's also fine if you want to keep it for historical purposes. One of the things that is so cool about barbie is that they've been around long enough to reflect many different changes in society. What is not fine is making other people feel bad because they want to collect differently than you. What we are not going to do is try and convince people longevity and protecting the dolls was on anyone mind when they designed the packaging.
i think if you were to find another leo you should unbox that one and keep the one from your mom in box even of the box isnt as good. its about sentimental value less than displayabilityyyy. love your hauls!
When i was like 12 i found out about birthstones and i was so disappointed that mine was garnet because all the haters and losers were like that's such a lame mineral compared to like. Gems or whatever BUT your passion for garnets redeemed them in my mind. You're right garnets are cool as fuck minerals
Commenting to let you know I love how informative you are and I always feel like I find something new to look forward to in the doll world! I’ve been feeling (imo) in a doll drought and can admit I’ve never heard of the diva collection and now I’ll be on the hunt for them! So pretty! Never would of seen them had it not been for you!
I would definitely keep the one mom gave me in the box! Would you be interested in creating a video about doll upkeep? You mentioned the mild and I realised that I wouldn't know what to do if a doll is moldy! I'd love to hear your insight about dust as well.
I think having a certificate with dolls definitely makes the whole unboxing them not feel as bad imo. As someone who only has their bedroom to keep their collection, I only have so much space and can’t keep every high value doll in box. With a certificate you can at least prove you own the genuine thing so if you do need to sell the doll later down the road you can still get a decent profit from it.
You came out with this video right as my dorment Barbie obsession has awakened😂 I also found the Gemini doll and the pink and black gown in the wild recently! The skaters face is so clean and pretty, and I really want the Diva Barbs and the Sun Barbs is giving Gaga in 911 music video. Also KB toys was like my unofficial babysitter at the mall back in the 90s while my Mom would shop at Wet Seal or something😅
All these dolls you unboxed are so pretty. I found the July/ruby blond doll thrifting but with no sash or shoes but minty as well as the green and pink gal, now she came with all her stuff, the bracelet hanging around her neck when I found her. I have the blond and red tipped Diva doll still in box, had her quite a while bought her off eBay.Totally in love with your doll in purple.
I have an ice skating doll from the 90s or 2000s not sure and she has a simular mimic to the 2002 winter Olympics doll. She has little handles for ken or you to hold while she spins in the air. I'm missing the blades of her skates.
For some reason there are a lot of discoloration issues for Barbies 02-05 era and not due to sun/light damage. In general it's on AA but not exclusively (like the first one you opened).
I notice (non-sun related) discoloration more with NIB dolls so I’m inclined to believe it has to do with the plastic not being able to “breathe” but I’m not an expert on plastics by any means
I was originally a toys r us kid in the 80’s and as I grew up in the 90’s I was a kb toy store kid fun fact about my current doll collection I have actively been buying toys from kb with the price tags on them so far I’m up to 87 dolls in the last 6 months with the kb tags I wished Mattel had done a Barbie loves kb toys doll like they did a few times with toys r us, the diva collection was inspired by pop divas of the time and the metallic futuristic fashion theme of the year and the blonde crimped doll with the gold chain top was allegedly inspired by Shakira, the blonde with the white outfit was allegedly based off Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears and one was allegedly based off Beyoncé during destiny’s child era, those sun and moon princess dolls are very common here in the Midwest, I find at least 5 listings a week on several platforms that list them between $25-$85 local pickup and to be honest I prefer the sun doll over the moon ones even though I was born at midnight and love the moon
Hello you are 25 years old oh my goodness! I am 41😂 (I love your energy and the way you are strongly not caring, i think, of anyone else opinion❤ it's just recently I came to collect Barbies and spécificaly little Vintage box houses. Can I ask you how you did manage at your age for having such a great collection?
I was at the slc 2002 Olympics. I don't remember it because I was 1 but still lol. I grew up in that area. I have been ice skating at the Olympic rink many times
I could never keep my dolls in the box XD I have 2 i kept in box and thats 2021 lunar new year Barbie cause i love the box & Gracey disney attractionista doll cause they are awkwardly tall so i dont wanna take her out and try to display her
Hi im a new doll collector from Cape Town South Africa im absolutely in love with your platinum Diva Barbie and i must get that doll would you consider selling her to me im absolutely captivated by this Barbie and must getvher
The Star Skater one gives me so much nostalgia because as a kid I played a figure-skating routine game on the Barbie website featuring her. I love her design! 💛💙🧡🩵

The fierce mackie-face screenings always give me LIFE!!!
These are all amazing finds! 100% agree with you about whimsy.

The real question is does it make you happy? if yes then that's all that matters as long as you are not hurting anyone do what makes you happy
@@stanleyohuruzo6295 it makes me super happy! Thankyou that is true.
i love this unboxings, its so useful to be able to see details of dolls that existed before youtube!!

Nooo fr you didn't lie about the shipping with Facebook Marketplace😂😂😂 I asked would they ship and they acted like I cussed them out I was so shook
They get SOOOO mad 😭 like just ignore me like all of the other sellers that I tell I’m ready to drive over rn
I always love a bulk unboxing! More please! xx
I think they look more visually appealing on shelves without a box.
100% agree! Sometimes I’ll have one or a few in box with a bunch out of box ones in front but otherwise I mostly prefer OOB dolls
This video inspired me to open all my holiday barbie's. I am so glad I did.❤

awwww i had the Avon Babrie with the big hat… i loved her so much i love seeing her again 🩷
I would definitely keep the one mom gave me in the box!

the spring barbie's curls are so cute
Oh and the Diva doll you have is super glam, had to add that, she is on my radar now lol.
Ahhhh yes! the sideye!! I just recently found 1996 Macy's City Shopper barbie at the thrift with another stunning side-eye!!! so many fun dolls!
Star skater Asian Barbie is so stunning

I love your channel I love your vibe I'm very picky when it comes to collecting anything but definitely barbie I'm very picky
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it!! I’m relatively picky with Barbie, more than I am with other dolls anyways… just because there’s SOOO many
@xCanadensis true and I agree
SO excited to watch this 🤩🤩 love ur 2000s Barbie vids!!
I’m glad!! 🙇♀️ thank you so much!!
Birthstone barbies at the end look like Dracula's brides :D Really pretty.

omg so good ! i was wondering when you'll unbox all the Barbiesssss thank you for the video
I’m sorry for the wait!! 🙇♀️🙇♀️
@@xCanadensis no no no you feed us so well with content regardless there is nothing to be sorry about 💖💖

Yayy🎉 Been waiting for the unboxings! 😊
Haha more soon!! For some reason I wanted to do individual unboxing videos but I think that would be wayyyy too much time…

@ I think you're right!
Another thing, I didn't know that one had such long hair either. Is it Sarah or Kanekalon?
I love these comments. But one thing isn't sticking well to my brain... 2000s is now considered vintage! My childhood is now considered old. 😭

The glasses are special, by the way, happy Thanksgiving
Same to you!! :) thank you! 💕
I am shocked after seeing the background 😮😂.
I'm adding to my barbie iso list lol.
I’d like the Diva gal best.
I ❤ your videos

it's so wild to hear "vintage" in relation to 2000s when you were born in 1984
Well.. in the 2000’s I saw vintage in relation to 80’s items
Brooke the Australian Stylistaz dolls series 1 is being sold in dds discounts stores in the US for $8
OMG I love those.
Have you ever tried modeling ? You are so beautiful !
Awesome dolls! Was the hole in her hand to hold the cup of coffee for the one modern doll?
lol nvm you figured it out, i just had to wait...:)
I could never keep my dolls in the box XD I have 2 i kept in box and thats 2021 lunar new year Barbie cause i love the box & Gracey disney attractionista doll cause they are awkwardly tall so i dont wanna take her out and try to display her
Do you have the Libra one that’s my birthday September 27
My hair is almost greenish LMFAO 😂
I didn’t want to get called out for split ends but it’s legit green-looking next to the warmer browns that dolls generally use 😭
@xCanadensis it made me laugh out loud for a good few minutes cuz her hair was so red and yours is a beautiful brown 🤎 but so relatable 🤣
Hi im a new doll collector from Cape
