      You have absolutely no idea how intricate and difficult it is to make this Giambattista Vali inspired ruffled tulle gown. Technically this doll should cost much much more than it does, but thanks to cheap Chinese labor Mattel is able to price it at this price point.

    • @berrystein9197
      @berrystein9197 Год назад +1

      @@tsai1511 Hello there! I wrote about how the design itself feels cheap when compared to another doll that happens to be cheaper and get released around the same time frame. High prices can be justified with good design execution and/or a creative concept. However, to me and some other people, the design of the doll does not do that.
      I acknowledge the fact that many of the dolls today are not priced ethically, but cannot confirm or deny the suggestion that this doll in particular should be priced higher than it already is. Many items are priced in a way, where the majority of it does not go into actual product production or into pockets of workers, but right into the hands of shareholders and higher ups.
      Btw, I see why someone can like this doll, but it does not mean we cannot critisize it.

      She is gorgeous in person. My only complaint are her shoes and the pink elastic, but that was solved with a 30 second restyle by wrapping a small amount of the ponytail over the pink elastic. The millie face mold definitely isn't for everyone, but the faceup they have on her is quite stunning in person, assuming you didn't get one with a ton of flaws. To be frank, I originally bought her for the tulle dress which is constructed beautifully, but wound up getting another so I could have one MIB and the other so I could redress Poppy in this gorgeous gown.

      Would still have the cheap shoes and earrings. And no posing. I'm still mad at Chic City Suit Barbie. My favorite Silkstone. She's an AA doll and has a beautiful makeup and hair. That suit was so cheap. I bought my pretty doll a beautiful outfit from a lady in France that came with a dress, a shawl, a hat, and a purse. I put her in some shoes from my Barbie Fan Club shoe gift set and that's what she wears. She hasn't worn that blue monstrosity since the day she arrived in my house. It's not a bad dress, and she was a cheaper priced Silkstone, but it just didn't look like a Silkstone quality outfit. This doll, just is no. Even the hair tie looks like something my Barbies in the 90s had. A colorful orthodontics rubber band. No one would wear that hair accessory with this dress. They would have a jeweled clip or something.

The doll is right, the design is right, but could be better with Holiday series of 40-50 usd.

But what Mattel has done here is incredible, even though my figure's earring also broke. It's a combination of Silkstone and Model Muse. And the gown is a recreation of a Giambattista Valli!!!! It's a phenomenal 1/6 scale figure when/if it grows on you and you appreciate it's innovation.

She is one of the few dolls I bought 2 of, since I found her in Canada recently for $70 USD, which is slightly less than her original list price. I checked that store to see if they ship to the US so you could maybe get one from there, but they don't. For comparison, the Pink Collection doll is $115 USD here in Canada, so I'd rather have the 2nd Proudly Pink.

    Best in Black got so much hate for being basic, and I never saw her above $70. Best in Black is an articulated Silkstone that looks beautiful to me, and I got her for $35 from Walmart .com around Christmas. I don’t see how this modelmuse doll that looks like a basic modelmuse doll is more than $40 at full price. No offense to anyone that loves this doll. I’m in a few Barbie collector groups and some people really love her. I just do not see a $100 doll. I could handle plastic shoes, and a basic head sculpt if she was $40. This is just not a $100 doll! She is the first modelmuse Silkstone, and she’s such a missed opportunity. I think a head sculpt that isn’t so prevalent in the playline, and shoes with a fabric bow could have made such a difference. A more severe face would look so much better. She looks like a OOAK Millie.

    I have a chronic illness & autoimmune disorders so I 100% feel what you describe. That’s the most accurate description I have ever heard of how it feels “living” w/ a chronic illness ( I’m confined to my house & most often my bedroom these last few years, so I use “living” loosely). It had really got the best of me until a few months after having lung surgery due to a rare & severe infection. I was out of the hospital, but still sick & really weak, so was in bed watching RUclips to try to distract me from feeling like rough. I stumbled upon a video of one of my favorite dolls when I was a child, JEM. That led to more videos of more favorites, Jewel Secrets Whitney, Maxie & Barbie. I hadn’t had a doll since 1989’s Happy Holidays Barbie (another favorite) because I was told I was too old for them. My dolls were put away & destroyed (accidentally) when I left for college. I loved, loved, loved my dolls growing up. Seeing those videos reminded me how happy they had made me as a child & I loved seeing people talk about them...people that are my age & are still collecting. That did it, I was hooked. I began to see the Barbies that had been released in the 30 years since my last & seeing there were all other kinds of dolls. I was in love & wanted all of them 🤣. That’s not going to happen. I have been able to replace only one one of my dolls, but I’m really loving watch others talk about theirs. This new Barbie is gorgeous. But I see why you are upset. Her dress is amazing, her earrings, shoes & hair are pretty, but I would be unhappy with them for $100 too. I appreciate you sharing her with us, it definitely made me smile to see her & I hope you will still be able to enjoy her even though she is not what you were expecting. You are hilarious btw, I laughed so much...thank you!!

    I had to watch this video again because something caught my eye recently about this doll. When I first saw this barbie, she reminded me of the illustration of barbie in the sega Genesis game Barbie super model ( or Barbie fashion model) that was seen in the main menu of the game. However just recently I saw one of the early holiday Barbies from I believe the 90's and now I'm wondering if the dress she's wearing is perhaps an altered recycled pattern of that pink dress from that holiday Barbie but the designers altered the top ruffles. Nothing wrong with that, I actually think it's super cool if that's what they did because some of Barbie's outfits from the 90's that I can remember we're gorgeous and it's super nice to see a revival because I really do miss seeing dresses like this one.
