Re : women in music - it would have been a good opportunity to shine a light on female conductors! I would have loved to see a Conductor Barbie! With a pink tailcoat, perhaps, and a bedazzled baton...!
You beat me to this comment. I would love to see a Conductor Barbie, maybe one based on Xian Zhang. I had the pleasure of seeing her conduct the orchestra of my town and this woman blew me away.
Omg well said!! I have thought the exact same thing!! I used to buy a lot of barbie, skipper, chelsea and stacie ones for my girls, but this is just so borning... and I thought, good because then I won't be spending money on them 😅
For those new Rainbow High dolls, they’re unarticulated because they’re considered a “budget” version of the Color and Create dolls; they’re at $20 each instead of $30
If so, she will end up like Millie: Pixelated, in every whatsoever Playline Box. Is that really what we want?😮 I like it, that Odile is somewhat rare. It gives some spice to the Barbie line...
@@Dolls.and.Ponies Yes it is because odile is beautiful and people love her, also odile has already been through the pixelation with those mermaid dolls and she still looks amazing, way better than millie. Having that beautiful face mold be rare would be terrible honestly, she deserves to be seen not hidden away on expensive dolls
Im in the UK and my ballet Wishes Odile came today! Wasn’t expecting her yet. I think this one has the most stunning odile face yet. The added beauty mark is just gorgeous. The face painting quality is just so beautiful in person. I really do hope she becomes the new face of Barbie.
I agree with you on the new Bratz lines lacking cohesion. You can’t tell me Cloe and Jade are going to the same place😂😂 Although I don’t mind the individuality it would be cool to see a modern take on a fully cohesive line.
Apparently, the blurb on the back explains that the girls are, in fact, NOT going to the same places... I can't remember what they said and haven't gotten to see them in person yet, but someone's going out for froyo?
I really hope someone at Mattel sees this video and makes the Barbie Family & Friends line more like what you described. I'm DYING to see characters like Christie and Kira make a comeback.
I definitely think that the birthday wishes and the holiday Barbie lines need to be overhauled. They're looking so cheap now. I agree about the career of the year dolls, it would have been nice to get the whole band. Thankfully they're releasing repros of the Barbie and the rockers dolls soon and also there are some jem reproductions coming out too. Lots of musical themed dolls.
the doll clothes seamstress in me is screaming at 2:33 like GIRL that desperately needs to be hemmed and ironed. the printed on non-hemmed fabric screams dollar-store doll clothing, and I've seen better dollar-store doll clothing that actually hemmed some parts.
I thought that Barbie's quality has SLOWLY began to regrow ( the articulations are beginning to come back, the hair quality look pretty nice ! But for the printed cloves they still have progress to do ... STOP THAT MATEL ( and the sculpt bodice also by the way ).
The budget Barbie in purple has a really nice face mold, I'd be tempted to get her and rebody the head if I could find a made to move body with a similar skin tone.
Me too!!! My nieces love having dolls that look how they could when they grow up or in cosplay! I just wish (selfishly) that their white dolls were as gorgeous as their melanistic sisters. There really isn't any comparison or reason to make a bunch of lack luster white dolls and skip out on black dolls that are stunning.
My original comment actually meant the color black - I’m glad they’re adding more black accents and darker makeup to the dolls, going back to their darker color scheme and less neon, but THAT TOO!! For Monster High being all about being inclusive, they didn’t have very many characters with different features. Pretty much all of them were centered around Eurocentric beauty standards, in my opinion. The different faces and body molds are my FAVORITE part of G3!!
I literally just then ordered a ballet wishes doll! I just had to tell someone im so excited! my first odile! And first doll for 2025. Amped up for whats to be released this year!!!!
I had the twirling ballerina Barbie too!! I actually really love the dress for the new one! Birthday wishes...is too plain. I do love the diverse body shapes of the rock star doll. I agree, a drummer or a keyboardist would be great. Even a classical violinist or a jazzy sax player. The you can be anything ballet set is pretty cute..the plastic leg warmers is a weird choice? Love the Monster High dolls..its so hard not to get into collecting those, the theme is fun. The Birthday Wishes Barbie could take some notes.
4:31 she's reminding me of when I was really really little and we got the extra dress with Barbie, back in the Golden mid nineties 6:18 also why does Skipper look like Barbies did after my brother bopped their heads down?
Surprised to not see the new Jem doll coming out soon in this video!! It’s the first doll of her in ages! I really hope it does well, she should be sold at Walmart if I remember correctly. Jem fans! Get your girl!!
11:44 - 11:49 me who got my hair shaved like that late last year. 😶 tbh I always wanted to try the style I’ve always loved the look of it and I’m so glad that I did.
She also have Rainbow Magic Books she has Ruby the Red Fairy, Amber the Orange Fairy, Saffron the Yellow Fairy, Fern the Green Fairy, Sky the Blue Fairy, Izzy the Indigo Fairy and Heather the Violet Fairy and the Weather Fairies Crystal the Snow Fairy, Abigail the Breeze Fairy, Pearl the Cloud Fairy, Goldie the Sunshine Fairy, Evie the Mist Fairy, Storm the Lightning Fairy and Hayley the Rain Fairy
Finally subscribed to your channel. I played with Barbie as a kid, but collect Monster High as an adult (what I would've played with if it was around when i was a kid lol). I still enjoy watching your channel here and there despite being a MH collector myself lol
Happy New Year!! I was excited to get the Aaliyah doll (sp?) I love her outfit and can't wait to pose her near my Maeve Reilly Doll - they will look so good together. Thanks for all the fun doll videos - I almost always watch on TV so can't comment. Love your channel.
I like the quality on Skipper's face and those basic Barbie dolls they look pretty good but the material looks a little cheap but they still look good though
Thanks for the news!🎉🎉🎉🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 (where in London can you buy these kind of dolls - the Barbie Deluxe Fashion Midge / Ballet wishes and the Bratz?) Thank you!⭐️⭐️⭐️
I like the new Bratz Sasha😊 but not so keen on the other 3 I agree they are not cohesive at all ,and the sweet 1600 monster high will only be getting cupid she is gorgeous , thanks for showing, very interesting video
Saw the Barbie Birthday Wishes in the store and she is gorgeous. The pictures do not do the fabrics justice. Love the new Monster High Sweet 1600. It’s crazy how elevated the new set is compared to the original set. And I love the originals. Monster High is good barometer of how cheap Fashionista has become. It seemed like Fashionista was almost on par with Monster High as far as the accessories sold on the dolls when the dolls launched, or number of fabrics used, etc. But if the sales were going to Monster High, then that’s where Mattel would be focus the money. But they went cheap with Barbie and ended up killing off Monster High, but now it’s back and Barbie is still basically cheap. I think Mattel has forgotten their biggest cost is making the original doll and accessories molds, so reusing the accessories molds cost them almost nothing to elevate their looks.
The disney princess line is getting sooo worst every year.. like, I cant mattel pls I've had so much faith in you 😭 they have the potencial and the ways.. just like we have very least good dolls.. but they simply don't do it.. I get it is a budget line, but is this 3 dollars dolls? Like omg.. they'll be loosing that license again with these.. and honestly at this point looks like they don't even care
The Odile barbie has not been released in South Africa , I realized that barbie new arrivals in South Africa cost 1400 zar which is about 140 dollars 😅 now this barbie is gonna or it might cost 2000 zar 😂 that's why my mom doesn't buy me original barbie dolls
I was so excited about a new Birthday Wishes Barbie. I was hoping it would be better than the last one in the series. I was really shocked. It's unbelievable that Mattel wants to sell this doll. I collect the Birthday wishes dolls. But this year I definitely won't buy the doll. I'm very disappointed
My thing with the Bratz line, maybe it’s the nostalgia talking, but I feel like they lost their teen street punky vibe they started with. Personally I feel like that’s what set them apart from other doll lines.
All the dolls look real good Joey thank you for sharing this video about these dolls I love the going out Bratz they look the quality looks good on them I like Sasha's long long curly hair and a monster high dolls a very cute but one look like a clown but she still she still cute though and the rainbow high oh man they look so beautiful with a long long hair I have to go get those and I think you're right
Btw the Barbie’s that have buns like the ballroom dancer and the set of 2 ballerina dolls have their hair cut in this really strange way. It’s tied back into a ponytail and gelled to look like a big voluminous bun. It’s so bad… lmao buy one and take the hair down, you’ll see what I mean. The only way you could style it down is by making it into a 1980’s type hairstyle, but it’s better to just do a reroot… lol
Re : women in music - it would have been a good opportunity to shine a light on female conductors! I would have loved to see a Conductor Barbie! With a pink tailcoat, perhaps, and a bedazzled baton...!
Yeah a barbie based on actual female composers/conductors would have been cool
You beat me to this comment. I would love to see a Conductor Barbie, maybe one based on Xian Zhang. I had the pleasure of seeing her conduct the orchestra of my town and this woman blew me away.
If this is what the doll companies are putting out this year, then I will be saving a lot of money.
Omg well said!! I have thought the exact same thing!! I used to buy a lot of barbie, skipper, chelsea and stacie ones for my girls, but this is just so borning... and I thought, good because then I won't be spending money on them 😅

Who else wants odile for barbies face?
If so, she will end up like Millie: Pixelated, in every whatsoever Playline Box. Is that really what we want?😮 I like it, that Odile is somewhat rare. It gives some spice to the Barbie line...
Nope! Looks too b*y imo. I want a modernized version of the superstar face
Me the odlie face looks so pretty on Barbie
I do, I DO!!!❤❤❤❤
@@Dolls.and.Ponies Yes it is because odile is beautiful and people love her, also odile has already been through the pixelation with those mermaid dolls and she still looks amazing, way better than millie.

8:30 I take flamenco classes once a week, and that's honestly what my hands both feel like and probably look like when I'm doing it 😭
Lol that's great though! Fancy hands! 🤣😂
I agree with you on the new Bratz lines lacking cohesion. You can’t tell me Cloe and Jade are going to the same place😂😂 Although I don’t mind the individuality it would be cool to see a modern take on a fully cohesive line.

One thing is that we are never too old for dolls
The Monster High dolls are gorgeous, they're really hitting it out of the park with that line!
I always enjoy your take on dolls!
2:31 I totally agree with u. It does look unfinished. I’d cut the top half off to make it a bow crop top.
Let's send thanks and much love to the designer Angelkent for creating our beloved odile facemold ❤❤❤❤
And for another dolls
I really hope someone at Mattel sees this video and makes the Barbie Family & Friends line more like what you described. I'm DYING to see characters like Christie and Kira make a comeback.

I’m sick of the pattern not going around the clothes! It’s so odd to have this harsh color bloc in the back 💀
Had the same exact reaction to the Sweet 1600 line
The Cupid Monster High doll reminds me of
Sugar Plum Fairy from the 2018 movie
The Nutcracker and the four realms .
hate how far rainbow high fell because it was so good.
the doll clothes seamstress in me is screaming at 2:33 like GIRL that desperately needs to be hemmed and ironed. the printed on non-hemmed fabric screams dollar-store doll clothing, and I've seen better dollar-store doll clothing that actually hemmed some parts.

Bratz hit it out the park. Each girl really shows their individuality
The budget Barbie in purple has a really nice face mold, I'd be tempted to get her and rebody the head if I could find a made to move body with a similar skin tone.
17:30 she's so cute! I love this line tbh
The first minnie mouse doll is so good! Her 2nd outfit is beautiful and with this new if big are amazing
15:40 the different shades of pink is throwing me so hard rn, why?? 😭
I’m SO excited about the Cupid doll. And while I never seem to like Frankie dolls, this is the best Frankie I’ve ever seen.
I am so, so happy they’re adding more black to the Monster High dolls! 😭❤️ that’s all I wanted!!
Absolutely getting all of these MH and Bratz
Me too!!! My nieces love having dolls that look how they could when they grow up or in cosplay! I just wish (selfishly) that their white dolls were as gorgeous as their melanistic sisters. There really isn't any comparison or reason to make a bunch of lack luster white dolls and skip out on black dolls that are stunning.

Ballerina Barbie and Bratz are my favorite recent release 😍
I had the twirling ballerina Barbie too!! I actually really love the dress for the new one! Birthday wishes...is too plain. I do love the diverse body shapes of the rock star doll. I agree, a drummer or a keyboardist would be great. Even a classical violinist or a jazzy sax player. The you can be anything ballet set is pretty cute..the plastic leg warmers is a weird choice? Love the Monster High dolls..its so hard not to get into collecting those, the theme is fun. The Birthday Wishes Barbie could take some notes.
Haha you’re so right
I’m really excited with everything they’re doing with Monster High. I want several of their dolls.
4:31 she's reminding me of when I was really really little and we got the extra dress with Barbie, back in the Golden mid nineties
6:18 also why does Skipper look like Barbies did after my brother bopped their heads down?
Surprised to not see the new Jem doll coming out soon in this video!! It’s the first doll of her in ages! I really hope it does well, she should be sold at Walmart if I remember correctly. Jem fans! Get your girl!!
Ooh! I remember ballet Barbies when I was little they're very pretty
I want a core G3 Cupid, with her pet and phone.
@9:13 even the dog looks bored with this doll. Lol
11:44 - 11:49 me who got my hair shaved like that late last year. 😶
tbh I always wanted to try the style I’ve always loved the look of it and I’m so glad that I did.
@12:39 😳 You are a genius Joey!!!
That ballroom dancing doll is just Jorgeous from Rupaul Drag Race as a doll😂😂
Odille ballerina same for Charlotte from "Princess and the frog"
Thank you Joey
Very good review. I really enjoy listening to your opinions.. And most of the time, I agree with all of them!!!
The comment on the shorter leg but same length arm for budget Disney princess dolls is so true! It is such a lazy trick!
9:41 3 of my favorite colors in the most basic boring dolls because y
Cupid's golden and romantic accents remind me of her ever after high legacy
I saw ballerina wishes on Walmart and I wanna get her and I like the Mary Poppins stall 21:13 11:21 AM USA
The arms on rapunzel and ariel I like because I'm short with log arms, so i feel represented 😂
She also have Rainbow Magic Books
she has Ruby the Red Fairy, Amber the Orange Fairy, Saffron the Yellow Fairy, Fern the Green Fairy, Sky the Blue Fairy, Izzy the Indigo Fairy and Heather the Violet Fairy and the Weather Fairies Crystal the Snow Fairy, Abigail the Breeze Fairy, Pearl the Cloud Fairy, Goldie the Sunshine Fairy, Evie the Mist Fairy, Storm the Lightning Fairy and Hayley the Rain Fairy

5:15 ugh I wish she came with a second outfit. I need Skipper fashion packs
Rainbow high monster high dolls and Skipper and Barbie and Bratz I'm still going to go out and buy all these dolls either at Walmart or Target
The disney princess line is getting sooo worst every year.. like, I cant mattel pls I've had so much faith in you 😭 they have the potencial and the ways.. just like we have very least good dolls.. but they simply don't do it..

I was so excited about a new Birthday Wishes Barbie.
I was hoping it would be better than the last one in the series.
I was really shocked.
It's unbelievable that Mattel wants to sell this doll.
I collect the Birthday wishes dolls.
But this year I definitely won't buy the doll.
I'm very disappointed
i think barbie look cool if she’s tanned
My thing with the Bratz line, maybe it’s the nostalgia talking, but I feel like they lost their teen street punky vibe they started with. Personally I feel like that’s what set them apart from other doll lines.

I'm still mad at Bratz. I kinda don't want to buy their products anymore.
Birthday Wishes also uses AI
