I'm glad you reviewed him! He's definitely one of my least favorite of the boys alongside Finn but I plan on getting him anyway, lmao. His hair looks fun, but the cheaper tinsel is always annoying to deal with. I'll probably wash all the glue out and then comb everything forward (ignoring the weird part) and gel it or something. I don't hate the outfit, but I'm still not entirely sold on the real laces. I like the button up shirt too, but ironically I think he looks better without it. It obscures all of the other details in his outfit. Tying it around his waist might help. River's extra clothes might also spice up his look a bit more. I'm excited for the accessories, but I think it's mainly because I'm so used to shitty modern Barbie laptops that don't have real hinges. The stands I'm over as well. I tried getting River's on and it was so tight it ripped off one of the buttons on his jacket. I glued it back on, but I was like fuck these stands right after that, lmao. Boy dolls are like a cycle. They put in little effort because they don't sell, and then they don't sell because they're boring. Or they do that two pack date night BS I hate. Mattel is the only manufacturer that really tries most of the time imo. Which is why I'm determined to buy at least 3 of the new Brunette Barbie Looks Kens. 😍😍😍
For the loose hand joint, you could use a trick that i recently saw someone do with an action figure: You take some krazy glue and make the peg bigger by adding little drops onto it. Just be sure to allow the glue to fully dry before putting the hand back on.
i remember seeing transparent Air Force Ones in the earlier 2000's. i thought they were so cool because they allowed you to showcase a really cute pair of socks. So it's possible that the style would reemerge.
Aiden is literally gay. He's the gay best friend of every highschool mean/popular/rich girl. They really tried to make him "straight looking" with the gray and pastel highlights instead of going purple. Let's just hope he gets a coming out themed release for June
Omg that would be great. They could do another gay pride set like the bratz dolls but with Aiden and the gay lighting kid who follows the devious twins around. 🤣 or at least give me a gay pride, Bella and Jade set. PLEASE!
I’m still buying Aidan bc it’s Aidan but the fact he doesn’t look like Aidan kills me😭😭 they did all the A’s so dirty tbh 😭 love this review tho!! I love your energy though :)
Thank you! I would love to see them do the As again for a holiday edition or something like the next costume ball, maybe? I just wish they were all a little better.
Any boy doll in a series is a win for me. Adam I think you may like the neon hair BMR 1959 Ken he's gorgeous. I think he was controversial at the time because he's rocking makeup.
What is kind of unforgivable is the amount of gay men that design fashion dolls, but try to make the male dolls "less gay" to make the billion dollar companies they work for more profits.
I completely agree. The LGBTQ community is so directly related to the doll world and yet there has been so little queer representation throughout the history of dolls. I'm planning to do a video soon about the queer dolls in my collection.
That hair is something on him, you should show it after you get to clean it up 😆 Love the pups and kitties making their entrances! Arthur looks like my Carson! Did you ever open up the Cinderella Creative Soul?
I also love boy dolls when they’re done well - and aiden just looks like the poster child for everyone who says they hate boy dolls. The outfit is soooo boring and i don’t understand why they did his hair like that. the layered shirt is cute but like everything else is just unremarkable. Like a real disappointment after how much i loved Rexx from shadow high. And to extend - I’ve grown to also like Ash Silverstone, who tbh i only bought because he was highly discounted due to major box damage, just so i could have other clothes for Rexx 😅 but after having to like, deep scrub his hair and give him a little trim (the hair lengths were wildly uneven?)… he’s actually cute also and the clothes he came with are pretty fun!
Loose hands suck, I'd look up Transformers repairs tho. A lot of those collectors use things like nail polish and other things to add a little extra thickness to loose bits so they stick and hold better with friction
Seeing that Avery and Ansley had a special set. It would have been interesting to see, what type of set they did for Aiden. Maybe more budget would have done something better for his hair and outfit. Walmart is clearing out Ansley, you can find her on clearance for $25. Thank you
I didn't name her, I think she's actually named after the witch from The Illiad, but much like the character from Game of Thrones, she enjoys destroying things.
I don’t really collect boy dolls in that I don’t really go out of my way to get them. All the boys I own came in packs with the doll I really wanted. Lol
I have an impulse to customize a Rainbow High boy doll into a little George Carlin. That would make me so happy! 🤣🤣🤣 Maybe Aiden here might be ok to do that with, since he's already got whitish hair? also, I tuned in late and missed your beautiful doggy! 😍
The only one of the A's that I have is Ainsley, and that is because I was able to catch her on a 50% off sale on Amazon just before my birthday, and her clothing pieces are so good for clothing restyles for certain SH/RH dolls (I have used her extra outfit pieces on the Storm Twins, Emi, and Demi for temporary/experimental outfit restyles as well and they look so good on them! Veronica especially looks good in Ainsley's black turtleneck paired with any black or purple themed preppy skirt, and Naomi looks amazing in Ainsley's leather minidress!). As for Aiden though, he looks okay to me, but the hair looks like an absolute nightmare to fix. And compared to the other A's, Ainsley and Avery look much more impressive than Aiden in my opinion. The way MGA handled Aiden's doll makes me wonder how they would handle making an Assistant doll, which I would love to have to display with the Devious Twins.
Yes!!! The lighting boy was one I've been thinking about a lot, too. He would be cute. Also, good job getting Ainsley on sale. I paid retail price for her like a fool, and I've seen her in Walmart for less than $25 lately. 🙃
Comparing him to the other rainbow high boy dolls he feels not as special and boring because the others has things that made them special like river and ash had the second outfits and also ash was in gray scale , finn dint hand a second outfit but he had a surfboard accessory , Rex McQueen also dint have a second outfit but he feels special because he had that puffer coat that was his special piece and his hair also added to that , Aidan could have also been better if they made his jacket like the animated series , they could have used like an iridecent vinyl to make his jacket I feel like that could have made him feel more special , and also his hair is not helping him , there Idea for his hair was okey but its the styling that dint work , I restyled mine I made all the hair go up and loos the back parting and gave him and trim and it looked better.
The only line to make good boy dolls in my opinion was Ever After High, it's just too bad they didn't do many of them. I don't like the Rainbow High boy dolls at all. Rex (I think that's his name) from Shadow High series 2 looks good, but even still I don't want to collect him. Aiden just looks boring as hell. Nothing about him is special, he looks incredibly uninspired. What even is his color supposed to be in the "rainbow"? He just looks a grey mess, and his eyes are giving weird uncanny valley vibes. He's a HARD pass.
@@dollthighs You and me both. It was such a wonderful and unique doll line, and in its prime, they were SO good. I hate that Mattel began skimping on the quality (nothing seems to have changed there, sadly) But if Monster High can be brought back, I am very surprised that Ever After High also hasn't seen a revival yet.
@@weathergoddess I'm scared to see a revival for EAH after what they've done to G3...I know a lot of ppl like it but it just looks like they're all cheap IG influencers now to me 😭
🤣🥰 pitties are the best. She's one of the sweetest dogs I've ever known. I was hoping she'd stay for the whole video, but the second I started talking about dolls, she was over it. 🤣🤣🤣
He is kind of boring but I cut and colored his hair blue & purple and it looks way better. He needs a makeover to look good which is kind of annoying … anyway I want more boy dolls
It's really unfortunate that his clothes look like someone's amateur half arsed attempt to make Rainbow High clothes. He had so much attitude about him in the show. The first Rainbow High male doll was levels above him. 💯

Hahaha so true. If they just put more effort into the boys they would sell better.
@@dollthighs I'm still thinking about that Ken Extra comment a while back and I would have so much fun with that.

Just be sure to allow the glue to fully dry before putting the hand back on.
Oh, that's smart! I might try that. I've also heard people say you can heat up the arm and squeeze it slightly tighter, which sounds more dangerous. 🤔
@@dollthighs Yeah, i think the glue trick might be more effective and a lot less hazardous to the doll.. Lol
❤ I finally have mine, it's beautiful ❤
The one thing I like about him is his eyes color, looks like galaxy🤩
His eyes are kind of cool. 🤔
i remember seeing transparent Air Force Ones in the earlier 2000's. i thought they were so cool because they allowed you to showcase a really cute pair of socks. So it's possible that the style would reemerge.
Oh, that makes sense! They do look super cute.
LOL almost thought it was a Ellen Degeneres doll 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 omg he kind of looks like her.
Lmao. Now I can't unsee it
You can use floor polish on hand pegs. Or fingernail polish. It thickens them up a bit. Give it a day to dry
His neck has me ROLLING
🤣🤣🤣
I washed his hair. It didn't help. lol
🙃 thanks for letting me know. 🤣 I think I'll just leave him as is then.
@@dollthighs I also tried re-gelling his hair .. but no. LOL. I might just cut his hair and restyle it.
Aiden is literally gay. He's the gay best friend of every highschool mean/popular/rich girl. They really tried to make him "straight looking" with the gray and pastel highlights instead of going purple. Let's just hope he gets a coming out themed release for June

@@dollthighs omg could you image 🥹 they’d suit a holiday theme so well 😭💕
It would have been cool if he came with the makeup pallet and brushes
So true. I would have liked him to be a little more interesting personally. Like literally anything to make him less bland. 🤣
Any boy doll in a series is a win for me. Adam I think you may like the neon hair BMR 1959 Ken he's gorgeous. I think he was controversial at the time because he's rocking makeup.
😮 I don't think I've seen him. I'll check him out. I always love ken dolls.
I just bought mine Aidan yesterday at target. but have not unbox him yet. hopefully soon I will unbox mine
I waited to unbox him last because I thought he was the least exciting. 🤣

Dollthighs! Hey~perfect unboxing-💥
Thank you! 🥰
Tiago have the same designer boots , but collector edition " to play line for 25 $. better then monster high dolls you have in the back.
Haha, so true. 🤣
That hair is something on him, you should show it after you get to clean it up 😆 Love the pups and kitties making their entrances! Arthur looks like my Carson! Did you ever open up the Cinderella Creative Soul?
Hahaha, no, Cindy and rapunzel still need to be opened. 🤣 I'll probably do that soon.

🤣🤣 completely agree he's one of the laziest boy dolls they've done so far. All the other boys had decently cool outfits.
I don’t collect the boy dolls. They don’t have enough clothes for them.
Yeah I don't blame you. It's hard to find good clothes for boy dolls.
Loose hands suck, I'd look up Transformers repairs tho. A lot of those collectors use things like nail polish and other things to add a little extra thickness to loose bits so they stick and hold better with friction
Thanks for the tip! I'll probably try something like that just to see if it works.

Lol I know. I've seen her on clearance a lot. I regret paying full price for her.
Oh my gosh your doggo is so cute! Is her name inspired by Game Of Thrones?
I didn't name her, I think she's actually named after the witch from The Illiad, but much like the character from Game of Thrones, she enjoys destroying things.
Happy they made another boy doll, but he needs a nicer outfit and at least some blush on his cheeks.
Omg he would look so cute with some blush!
I don’t really collect boy dolls in that I don’t really go out of my way to get them. All the boys I own came in packs with the doll I really wanted. Lol
🤣🤣🤣
I wonder if they will ever give a boy doll long hair (other than neithan rot who I hope is in monster high g3)
I hope so. I'd love like ankle length hair on a boy.
I have an impulse to customize a Rainbow High boy doll into a little George Carlin. That would make me so happy! 🤣🤣🤣 Maybe Aiden here might be ok to do that with, since he's already got whitish hair? also, I tuned in late and missed your beautiful doggy! 😍

I kinda like his jacket...should I buy him to steal his jacket? 🤔
Lol idk. If thats all you like I'd at least wait for him to go on sale.
Oh, yeah, gurl. He seems like a total afterthought
🤣 I know. Poor Aiden.

🤣🥰 pitties are the best. She's one of the sweetest dogs I've ever known. I was hoping she'd stay for the whole video, but the second I started talking about dolls, she was over it. 🤣🤣🤣
Cerseiiii 🌹 Queeeen🌹
🥰
He's kind of boring but he does look like his character on the show. Maybe there will be a fashion pack to upgrade his outfit.
Yeah you're right they did capture his outfit decently. His face seems a little off to me though.
Not beady-eyed 😂 So I meaaannnnn… he’s a doll, I guess? Nothing stands out. I may get him on clearance but that’s it.
🤣🤣🤣 so true. I kinda wish I had waited for some of these to go on sale because they always do.
The hair seems way, way too tinsely. If you wash it wrong it'll twist and the hair's going to be always messy.
I know I'm afraid to mess with it honestly. Lol I might just leave it as is.
He is kind of boring but I cut and colored his hair blue & purple and it looks way better. He needs a makeover to look good which is kind of annoying … anyway I want more boy dolls
Same. I always want more boy dolls.
Hi Dolls 👋 it's probably hair gel on his face...😆
🤣🤣🤣 omg, so true.
It's really unfortunate that his clothes look like someone's amateur half arsed attempt to make Rainbow High clothes. He had so much attitude about him in the show. The first Rainbow High male doll was levels above him. 💯
So true. At least river had a lot of layers to his outfit.
did u dress like him on purpose
🤣🤣🤣 no not on purpose.
