I'd totally love to see you integrate it into your reviews!!
Okay, I LOVE what you just did.
To test this, I graded 2 of the most recent dolls I got with your rubric and they both got 80%. I think I'll go with 20 points as a full-price barrier for myself, and at least 15 points for on-sale, since that's an average passing grade and will definitely keep me from being super indecisive.
Thanks so much for going ham on this, for using examples and for the idea on how to make it reusable. This was also a very fun watch!
👌🏾💣
I’m so glad you enjoyed! I almost put 20 as the required score but it seems so high haha, might have to readjust as time goes on
Yes! I would really like to see this chart used for the doll reviews. Ah fun!
This is the most satisfying thing my Virgo heart has ever seen. It's even laminated ❤
Love this. I may not have bought so many g3 dolls if I had this, tbh.
You nailed every category I would consider. The emotional aspect is huge in my book.
This is a neat idea and I would love to see you do this with dolls you review.
For me, some of my categories would be display space ( I have a perfect space, can make a space, will have to put a doll in storage/ get rid of a doll to make space).
Weirdly, I need there to be patterns available to sew clothes for the doll. I love sewing for my dolls ; I can make doll patterns, but I don't like to. So the number and style of patterns affects me.
The price has to be congruent to how much fun I think I will have with a doll/ playability. So, I haven't bought a mini Lalaloopsy, because I would just use it as a prop for a doll, not for the cuteness of the Lalaloopsy herself. Meanwhile, I just ordered a Smart Doll and there are a bunch of free patterns on the website, so while she is pricy, I predict I will have a lot of fun with her.
Space is a great idea for a category omg
I think this is a fantastic tool and I would love to see this integrated either in your reviews. I may customize it for action figure (because there are some very similar thought processes going on when I break it down).
I hope you can tweak it to be useful for you ☺️
This is such a good idea! And I’d love to see you use it in reviews or even in dolls I don’t want videos!
As a new collector trying to slow down after 18 dolls in 2 months, thank you 🙌
Yeahh, I think it would be cool to see you integrate the rubric into your reviews!!
I have very few custom dolls, but I am very happy with the ones I do have. When I make custom dolls for myself, I don’t necessarily try to match a specific outfit with a character, I usually just find doll outfits around my house that I think would fit that character. For example, I put my Melanie Martinez doll in a random Barbie black and pink polkadot dress, wearing Natasha Zima‘s fur coat over top of it. The outfit that she was previously wearing had a lot of broken buttons, and I didn’t like it very much, so I am happy with the current outfit and shoes I chose for her. I do have a doll with a specific outfit though. I got a 18 inch sized M3GAN doll outfit for Christmas two years ago, and I was so excited. She is featured on my channel if you want to see her. I think that the lady who made the outfit did a great job. I usually try to find dolls that look like the character I want to make. It may not always be exact, but that’s OK with me.
I think for me I would replace "Uniqueness" for "Can I buy a doll in Canada" as in how easy or hard is it for me to get the doll.
I love this idea. It can give pause when a doll is really hyped up and FOMO is strong. Do we really like or want the doll or is it because of marketing? Kudos for taking a new approach to collecting. Something like this could be useful when editing a collection on what to keep as well. ❤ Looking Gorgeous!
Thank you!!
As someone that over thinks and examines everything, I love this idea!!
I think that you should make one for selling dolls. I’m going through my childhood dolls and I’m not sure how much to sell them for.
I don’t think this level of analysis is for all doll collectors, but I like it. I seem to already be doing the emotion and uniqueness categories informally, since those are the 2 most important ones for me, but it would be good to have some better-defined criteria. I have to get rid of some of my dolls to make more space, and I think a rubric would be useful with that too.
Interesting concept! I definitely think about how much I will or won't change the doll's look/pieces, the face, and the fabric quality. I'm not picky about articulation, I just can't deal with barbie's totally stiff body these days. That's just too little articulation lol. You put good categories to think about in your rubric
I love this idea!! I'm newish to doll collecting still, and want to be mindful as I look into new releases as well as buying dolls that have already released, so I think this is something I will use~ I also cant wait to see your review when you get Venus, I just got mine today!! :'D
Congrats! Cannot wait for her to come in 🥰
This is such an awesome concept! And I love that you provided the rubric! I added a column for the price of the doll. The more affordable the doll the higher level of points. I also put in a rule to add 2 points if it's your favorite character in a doll line and add 2 points if this doll will compliment another doll in the collection. I left out the customizability category. And I made the rule 20 points to buy the doll. So this was very useful and fun! Love your videos!
Thank you!! Glad you could build off of this and make it something useful for yourself 😊
I Love the idea to integrate this in your Doll review videos!
Yes please use this rubric in your doll reviews. Super interesting!
This is actually a pretty good rubric for me too. Now I don't tend to buy for the sake of customizing so much, but what little I do sometimes do still fits this rubric with some tweaking to the one and zero description. I'm going to apply this rubric to the rh reboot dolls after this so better help gauge how i feel. I also wonder if I might just generally start liking them more as past dolls are no longer on store shelves. There's also the part where I don't own any of the core dolls. Rh reboot jade just passed. Skylar just barely passed. Ruby passed. Sunny failed. Violet failed but only just that was suprising. And amaya failed but didn't bomb. This rubric might actually be quite forgiving.
Also I should mention for me the rubric is to buy at ANY price as opposed to just on clearance. That helps limit me further. Like I just love sales in general and tend to not like paying full price even for dolls I love. So a doll can still be "not worth full price" and pass
I absolutely love that you made this rubic, thank you and yeah I’d love for you to show how you used in future review videos 😄
This is such a great idea! I'm definitely gonna sit down and make my own later. I think I'm gonna make one for selling dolls too.
Things I'll probably add:
1) Storage space. I don’t have any left, so right now I need to sell to be able to buy.
2) Resell value. How likely am I to be able to sell the doll in the event I don't like it or only want certain pieces?
3) Availability/Scarcity. Both in regards to dolls that are LE, but also older dolls that never came to where I live. In the event a rarity pops up second hand, how likely am I to find it again?
I absolutely love this idea! Definitely going to try it
That’s a fun, and helpful idea 😊. I may try it at some point. Right now I’m in the process of trying to decide if I want to change the type of dolls I purchase. So after I decide, then I may use this. Thank you 😊
Wishing you luck on the possible redirection with your purchases ♥️
I love this idea and it would be a great addition to your reviews! It would add an element that other reviews of the same doll don't have so that even if someone has seen a review of this doll by someone else they can still get something from your video. :3
this is such a good idea. might have to take inspo from this
I love this, I am definitely going to use this, hopefully it will help me with impulse buys
Definitely use it for your reviews it’s a great idea!
Thats why I haven't bought one of the Off White dolls Raven. The price is ridiculous and there are things I would want to change about her. If she had Harmonee's face I would definitely buy her. For that price I should be obsessed with how she comes.
The box takes up too much room and I wouldn't want to just throw it away after paying that much. They didn't need to make it so deep/wide. It should have been more rectangular than cube shaped imo.
The thing I love about her is her wings and horns. But hopefully we will get another doll with big wings. Or I can find some wings I can glue to a doll body.
I loved this idea, I would really like to see this in your reviews, I am definitely going to use it for myself! ❤️
Nerdy = fun 😊. Bring on the charts lol
I love this idea and your rubric! I think I'll try and start using this! Or a slightly modified version. I'd maybe swap out uniqueness with price or just redefine uniqueness for my likes
Great idea!! Definitely gonna start using this lol
Honestly bless u for this
this is such a great idea! i'll have to do this too and i'm looking forward to seeing it in your reviews 😊 in my own rubric i might also add price and/or availability (like how hard is it for me to get this doll) but idk yet
I didn't know this kind of list is called a rubric, it's a very unique name "rubric". lol This is a very cool idea, I hope you can use your rubric in future review videos. It would be fun to see Tony use your rubric to rank your fav dolls!!
I would love that lol but Tony is not a rubric or chart kind of guy 😂
@@FaeryTaleDolls lol I understand it's not for everyone. Oh how about if "we" the people of youtube send you names or pics of dolls you don't have and you can use your rubric to see if you like or pass on the dolls, and it can be dolls from today and past dolls like 80s or 90s dolls. It's just an idea. If it's too much no worries
I love this idea!! 😍
This is great!
I love that idea ❤
And yes please show the rubric ratings for your reviews (would love if you hold it up after writing them all down)!
This is awesome!!!! 🎉😮
Love this concept! Definitely will try it out. Thank you so much🥰 great video
Thank you!!
Omg tsym, I’m such an indecisive person so each detail counts for me and I never tried making a list/ rubric, hope this will help me ‘rank’ my purchases since I can’t afford all the dolls that can potentially be added up in my collection 😭😭
I hope it helps!! 😊
I wonder if I had this back in 2032 would I had gotten all the ILY fashions packs that I did. I didn't buy all of them just the ones I thought would be good for Sailor Moon dolls to wear. Maybe I would have saved some money if I seen a list of stuff I liked and the stuff I didn't.
Goooooo Rainn!!!!
The whole time I was watching this I was thinking, “What if the doll evokes a strong negative emotion?” But I am guessing that would still make it a zero. I would definitely see where a lot of the dolls I want would go as I have like five I want and I get paid tomorrow as I write this soooo yeah 😅.
I didn’t even consider that haha, I guess for me if a doll makes me feel strongly negative it’s so bad I wouldn’t even pull out the rubric 😅
@@FaeryTaleDolls That’s so fair 😆
This is such a good idea! I’m trying to slow down and be more mindful of my collection as well. I’ll probably start incorporating something like this too!
