Your videos and especially your rants always crack me up 😂😂😂 Oh doodle bears, I remember those! Bet those worked better than the new rainbow high dolls do though 🤣
I got the purple-eyed Color and Create Rainbow High doll. First I stole the brown eyes out of a budget Sheryl Meyer doll and did an eye swap, then I dyed the Color and Create's hair brown with Rit dye. I tried dyeing the "sparkle" t-shirt she was wearing, but it was a weird fabric and I ended up ruining it. I didn't go near those markers and gave those away. I love my custom doll, but she was thirty bucks and didn't even come with a stand, so one is enough for me.
With Ariel, I think that will be it. Pretty sad: She started the Renaissance and she ended the live action Remake Hype. (Well - it’s good that it ended, but she deserved better. And the ship crash scene was mesmerizingly done)
The Disney princess “100” dolls look like basic Playline dolls from our childhood years in the 90s. I cannot 🤦♀️. The BFMC collection has been “canceled” for such a short time, I wonder if it was just all a ploy to drum up new excitement for them during the Barbie movie hubbub. I’m glad to see them return and hope to see them continue to be articulated and not cost the Sun and the moon.
Thank you so much for this video. Absolutely agree about Monster High. I like them especially Cleo. But still did not buy any to this day because there is always another doll I prefer more. I started collecting Zombaes forever. Those are much smaller and with plastic hair but so much fun to swap their hair and accessories 😅. I am sorry if there will be no more Ariel live merch. I know how much you like .xx
14:13 Cleo was the only Monster Ball doll I got. They're $40 here in Canada, but for me she is totally worth it. Her clothes are gorgeous - the dress under the black wrap thing is beautiful, AND a separate piece. Her hair is also really soft and her shoes are to-die-for. She just seems a little elevated than the others to me. Great video. Thank you for your honesty and humor. 😄😄😄
I too struggle to buy the G3 MH. i really like Lagoona, but something is just BLAH about them, and i rush to buy a mystery mini verse ball with a clearanced RH doll instead. 😂 I hope they restock cowboy barbie and i want cowboy ken! Weird barbie seems ok...i can make my own. 😂
2:24 *"These are the most Hasbro a$$ looking dolls I've ever seen."* To be fair most of the $25 Hasbro style dolls (that were sold at Target) had rooted eyelashes, elbow, wrist and knee articulation. Mattel gives use none of those things, and chargers an extra $25 "for reasons" , 🤔🤔 but like you said in your video you're *Still* going to pick up the Tiana doll. Most other RUclipsrs making videos about Mattel's wild price points say the same, so Mattel will continue to Mattel. 🤑🤑
Totally agree. Same with the Barbie movie dolls: everyone complained about the high prices of the "collector" line, yet everyone is afraid to miss out, so Mattel doesn't seem to have a hard time selling them at all. I expect the "100 years" Disney girls to sell super easily too, whatever their price and whatever they look like, just because that number sounds special, and for many, it means future value, either for resale or to pass on to grand kids.
i ordered the purple colour and create doll. Her freckles are so cute! im going to dye her hair brown or purple Im so excited for Bratz Felicia and egg chair!!
I got the Bratz Retro swing chair for my Integrity dolls and it's awesome. The news of Silkstone Barbie coming back seems exciting. Hopefully they use the original body.
Yeah I’m hoping for a sale or clearance or something. The G3 play line dolls always seem to be well stocked like the first round may sell out but they come back.
I do remember reading that all the Barbie movie dolls are pink label so there’s no limit to how many there gonna produce in the long run. I can’t imagine that Mattel isn’t gonna just keep producing them as long as ppl want to buy them. I’m super bummed that live action mermaid merch is done being produced 😭😭😭😭 I thought we’d at least get it through Christmas
@@JeffreySteinmanReviews that would be ideal!!! But I know it also has to do with paying the actors for their likeness but like that y I thought at least through the Christmas shopping season like come on I do however think it’s more of a Disney decision than a Mattel one
I really like when Jaks Pacific releases dolls. I think they get so much right and at a fair price for what's included. I do not like the new Disney dolls. I agree with you, they are too expensive for a doll with no articulation and a fairly simple outfit. I think this is what I find most frustrating about doll collecting. Not having the price match the quality. As far as the Disney store dolls, I have collected their play line dolls and I think they are very well done. I will be getting the new princess line. I love the second outfits and the accessories and pals that are included. As for the rumors about Ariel, I watched a discussion panel on how kids are reacting to the new live action Ariel and that they are not wanting the dolls because they do not look like the Ariel that they are familiar with from the animated movie. Kids just want Ariel to look like the Ariel. While adults may be happy with the diversity of the new Ariel, kids are not. Parents are seeing their kids wanting the traditional looking dolls. For Rainbow High, I did get Jade and took off the weird green plastic lightning bolt thingy and her dress underneath is fantastic. It has different metal charms in the shapes of stars and moons etc. adorable. Also her black lipstick looks amazing. You should definitely get her. Finally, silk stone fashion Barbies, oh please let it be true.
I don’t get why they must always mold on clothes to the reveal Barbie’s.. they are so pretty but it’s hard to find clothes that fully cover the printed clothes so a body swap is usually the move and I just don’t know if they are worth $25 for a pretty head 😂 actually I know they aren’t.. and I’m sad we need more articulated pretty Barbie’s 😢
I bought the new Disney Store Ariel doll (in Mexico) and her head was very loose. Also the tail is not fitted at the bottom so it just looks weird. A little disappointed, especially when she cost around 50 bucks.
Girlfriend purchased western star barbie and gold disco jumpsuit barbie and denim outfit Ken and perfect day barbie and Ken and none remote corvette so far
I missed out on Western Barbie, i'm so bummed out. Mattel loves money so hopefully they can restock her. I'm loathe to give Mattel more and more money but I also I bought Draculaura because i'm a whore. 😐
Rainbow High had me by my neck for the longest but I don’t know what’s happened - I’m just not feeling it ALL ALL anymore. It’s becoming repetitive and we are getting less and paying the same amount (I think I’ve seen this someone before….hmmmmm….Mattel? Lol!) and I know I’ll grab the runway line but then I think I’m out. And RIGHT ON TIME for the Fashion Model Silkstones return (my bank account is already screaming at just the thought).
I am losing interest in RH as well. I'm getting into My Little Pony g1 now. I'm going to wait till the Barbie movie hype downs the prices are too high right now. Hopefully but I doubt it The Silkstones have the quality of the 2000-2015 dolls.
Yeah I was underwhelmed by the collector Disney dolls. They’re princesses, give us big ole poofy ball gowns with more interesting designs please! (And don’t just slap a big weird looking bow on Cinderella every two minutes please, that bow is just so odd looking 😅) Especially Cinderella who is the epitome of ballgowns (also why is her ball gown shorted then Tiana’s? Yeah, yeah, the glass slippers but if this is the Cinderella doll to celebrate 100 years of Disney, ball gown to the tenth power please.)
Your videos and especially your rants always crack me up 😂😂😂 Oh doodle bears, I remember those! Bet those worked better than the new rainbow high dolls do though 🤣
Haha I’m glad you guys like them cause they soothe me
OMG I want the weird Barbie doll!
Haha she was a lot of fun in the movie
Man your videos are everything! You crack me up 😂😂😂
Haha thank you
I *love* when you get a bee in your bonnet and get all ranty!!
Haha damn right it soothes me

That’s good to know they don’t have stands
I’m so excited for Amped Up Frankie!
Ooo yeah they look great
With Ariel, I think that will be it. Pretty sad: She started the Renaissance and she ended the live action Remake Hype. (Well - it’s good that it ended, but she deserved better. And the ship crash scene was mesmerizingly done)
I’m trying to hiatus
I really enjoy listening and watching your videos! I appreciate your perspective and opinions. Thanks for sharing 😊
Haha thank you

False scarcity marketing is alive and well in the doll community.
Loved this video 💖 How did I not hear about that Bratz chair until now 🤷🏼♂️🤯
Haha idk furniture in the doll collecting hobby never gets the spot light it needs sometimes

That’s good to know at least
I love your sign said “Barbie Says F*ck Racists!” ❤❤❤
Damn right
I just came home with Jade. She looks amazing.
Oh good!!!
I too struggle to buy the G3 MH. i really like Lagoona, but something is just BLAH about them, and i rush to buy a mystery mini verse ball with a clearanced RH doll instead. 😂 I hope they restock cowboy barbie and i want cowboy ken! Weird barbie seems ok...i can make my own. 😂
I definitely want cowboy ken
5:58 LMAOO I actually laughed so loudly
Haha I’m glad that joke landed

Exactly the FOMO isn’t helping the situation at all
i ordered the purple colour and create doll. Her freckles are so cute! im going to dye her hair brown or purple
Im so excited for Bratz Felicia and egg chair!!
I got the chair finally! Love it
I got the Bratz Retro swing chair for my Integrity dolls and it's awesome. The news of Silkstone Barbie coming back seems exciting. Hopefully they use the original body.
I want to get that, but I'm going to wait until it gets clearance.
It’s pretty cute I’m going to have to pick one up.
I want an Alice doll so bad (with Cheshire Cat) that’s under $50…
That would be ideal
Now I want the disney store Cinderella too
Haha right?
I saw the Cleo, Frankie and Lagoona Scultimate Secret series 1 on sale for $19 at a Walmart in AL. Perhaps they will go on sale at other stores soon.
Let’s hope so
In Canada I have seen the runway dolls for rainbow high
They’re finally showing up on shelves here
I wouldn’t worry about the Cleo doll hesitance, because I’m pretty sure she’ll be available for cheaper in the future.
Yeah I’m hoping for a sale or clearance or something. The G3 play line dolls always seem to be well stocked like the first round may sell out but they come back.
We never saw any of those Disney dolls in Buffalo. I feel like it's the one city that never seems to get any of the new things
Oh that’s weird
I want all the Barbie movie dolls
Let’s hope you get them
@@JeffreySteinmanReviews ❤️

I want Ariel to be around at least for a year.
@@JeffreySteinmanReviews that would be ideal!!! But I know it also has to do with paying the actors for their likeness but like that y I thought at least through the Christmas shopping season like come on I do however think it’s more of a Disney decision than a Mattel one
The holiday princess dolls are actually $45
Yeah I just preordered mine and found out that was a nice surprise

Jakks pacific has a real passion for toy making it seems.

I agree cause I hate body swapping for made to move dolls. They’re expensive and I don’t like the joints.
I have a Naturlista doll and two of their fashion packs; they’re so cute
They have cute accessories too
@@JeffreySteinmanReviews they really do!
Love love love your videos and opinion about the dolls 🤩💖🤩.
Haha thanks
I bought the new Disney Store Ariel doll (in Mexico) and her head was very loose. Also the tail is not fitted at the bottom so it just looks weird. A little disappointed, especially when she cost around 50 bucks.
That is a bummer and yeah the tail looked weird in photos
Controversial opinion but I wish monster high would go all in with ball gowns because we've seen a pencil dress a million times
Yeah I understand they’re cheaper to make but woof let’s have something.
I hope we get more ariel merch too!!!
Here’s hoping
Thanks for this cool vid 😂
Thanks for the video! ❤
Absolutely
I’ll be getting collector Cindy for sure bc capitalism has my nutz just as badly 😂
Go team!
7:04 WANT.
Absolutely
I need it all
If BFMC comes back you guys won’t see me collecting anything else haha
I don't understand how small companies can give you so much for a good price point but the big companies who have big bucks can't do it
It’s those damn shareholders
Lovely
Hi from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
Girlfriend purchased western star barbie and gold disco jumpsuit barbie and denim outfit Ken and perfect day barbie and Ken and none remote corvette so far
And also has disney style ariel and disney Ursula
Brisbane!
i need for Disney to STOP giving Snow White flat feet. Like, come ON!
Right? Like where in the move did she? Even the clogs had a tilt.
I missed out on Western Barbie, i'm so bummed out. Mattel loves money so hopefully they can restock her.
I'm loathe to give Mattel more and more money but I also I bought Draculaura because i'm a whore. 😐
Let’s hope they restock soon for ya
Whats the website he metioned for leaks?
Youloveit.com

RH became stale after a while cause how many times can you make a pretty doll with a t shirt vest and bralette
😆
💅🏳️🌈🚬
You have a gay tripod
I do :/
😍🤗🔥🎉🎈🎉
💅🥰🦌🦞❤️
I'm at work right now GEEKING out over the new Barbie and Disney dolls, and literally no one else cares. I need a new job. These people suck.
They are so cute
Doll.
💅
Yeah I was underwhelmed by the collector Disney dolls. They’re princesses, give us big ole poofy ball gowns with more interesting designs please!

Yeah they aren’t reading as collector dolls in any way
Loved the video. I definitely want the silkstones come back
Me too more than anything else on this list except for Ariel
I clicked so fast 🔥
Haha yay!
The new ILY dont come with the balloon which was a huge selling point
Oh that’s true. I like the second outfits but if you’re a big Disney park person the treats were probably fun to collect.
