The "Ariel and her Sisters" line was apparently discontinued because parents said the stylized bodies created a harmful image to impressionable children. That's right, the waist of a mermaid doll who has a fish tail instead of legs was considered an unrealistic ideal. Anyhow, I think their tails had a wire in them like Betty Spaghetti so it was easy to pose. I remember DS also having a short-lived line for the Disney Heroes which actually looked really cool.
I actually just sold the Ariel from that set on eBay. They are very strange looking dolls in my opinion. The one cool thing though is that their waists are ball jointed so the tails are super poseable. But they are also incredibly small-waisted.
I just bought a massive Polly Pocket collection from the thrift store. There were tons of dolls, clothes, and playsets. Whoever owned them, took very good care of them.
I wanted to write that with the mini skirt :D though I was younger, I still remember how blessed I felt when I got an eye shadow from her in a shop as a present. It was a very daaark purple cream, I am not sure if anybody ever had it on the eyelids. But I loved always the Sixties, so it was a huge present I got. I have two Daisies, by the way. Both were in bundles of dolls. Sometimes it is said they have a huge worth. Don't know if it is true.
@@winterweib Daisy had absolutely beautiful fashions that were perfect 60's representations! I have one that consists of a mini dress with pleather top, hot pink fishnet stockings, and white go go boots.
@@karenstimson2683 I wished I could see it! It sounds so lovely! I was born in the summer of '63. I remember in fact many things from the sixties .And back then I knew 1969 would forever be my most beloved year, and it came that way :) I copied your comment and try to paint these clothing, and then I will try to sew them Thank you for your lovely comment! Greetings from Berlin 💕 May you have a wonderful time and a lovely Christmas!
Mary Quant was a 60s fashion designer who helped push the Mod movement. :) I don't really remember any of these dolls since they were mostly came out when I was in HS. Wasn't terribly interested in dolls then haha.
There are so many discontinued dolls I wish I bought when they were available, so now I try to grab at least a few dolls of lines that appeal to me so I don't regret it later.
Hi! Shibajuku girls still make. I have a couple of dolls. They're like a cheaper version of the Pullip dolls. They also have beautiful outfits. Greetings from Kazakhstan. I love your videos
when those dolls came out i was 9 and i always wanted one but toysRus was always sold out and now im 11 and found one at ross and mom said nope im not buying it 😔
The inclusion of Polly Pockets just set off a thought in my mind: anyone remember the Grand Polly Pocket Recall of 2007 (I think it was?)? 'Twas a sad time indeed for many.
I DO remember that, my friends mom had us round all of them up and put them in bags to be sent in to be tested for lead, I believe thats what the whole scare was about, that there was possibly lead paint on the toys. Also after researching it had to do with the magnets as well.
I never heard of them until I found a tiger pet at a thrift shop. The pets were surprisingly more articulated than an LPS. I liked the idea of soda bottle packaging but I think the dolls were way too generic and basic to stick around
Those polly pockets were my childhood, I remember the little playsets with handles and took them everywhere. And yes, I constantly popped something in my mouth, Im pretty sure I swallowed a shoe or two...
Speaking of miniature dolls, Barbie used to have a line called Mini Kingdom, which consisted of mini versions of the barbie princess dolls like Anneliese, Erika, Rapunzel, Odette, and all the others. There was actually another line with the barbie princess called Tea Party Princess.
I really miss Liv Dolls. They were my absolute favorite until they were bought out by another company. They had articulation, realistic eyes, and wigs you could swap out. I hope one day they come back or something just as good. :(
First thing I tought about was these polly pocket dolls ( I was ready to comment about it but you were faster to talk about them in the vid) . I was born in 2000 and these polly pocket dolls were the only ones I had (the only ones that were froduced at that time). Well.. I still have them ( but some of their clothes tore apart). Sooooooo many memories. I still love them. People say they dont really like them and they prefer these little, super tiny ones from 90's but to be honest those you talked about for me are far superior... ok..ok... i am biased ( I still remember hunting for guys ( I have just one :( ) and dark skinned girl (she was my favourite))... and I have a plane, two buses and a vet center... what a time...wish to be kid again... p.s. eng is not my first language p.p.s. love your work :)
@@cutelilscrafty And the Simba/Witty Toys ones (rubber bodies, then plastic hollow bodies, then a weird hybrid with the Jakks faces), and the Giochi Preziosi ones (the really old, larger ones, then the thin, dainty ones and now the extremely ugly season 8 ones). But he said he wanted to avoid doll lines from shows and such, and there are so many Winx lines that that's probably a video on its own hahaha.
@@Iroh12345 Plus, Winx is still a BIG thing in Europe and they are still making dolls for it. It's not a thing in North America because of the utter lack of care for the series (and all Magical Girls, TBH) here.
Does anyone remember the little dolls called the Hollywoods, from the 80s? Also the Babysitter’s Club had Barbie sized dolls and larger dolls in the 90s. 🤩 Memories! Edit: Sorry, Joey! I did not realize that you had covered the Hollywoods in another video. I watched them out of order 🙂
Marcelle i know! i love him but it kinda bugs me that he just shows a picture and describes it, i mean these vids are about _discontinued doll lines_ so he could do some research about if they are _actually_ discontinued or not and also what year they’re from, maybe even _when_ were they discontinued? like i know they’re just details but he’s out here saying stuff like "i _think_ these dolls are discontinued, i haven’t seen them in a while" and "these are from the 90s.. or the 2000’s?" like Joey :((( we stan you but pls do some more research ;(
The Ariel and her sister line came out in 2007 not the 90s. It came out along with the new Disney Tinker Bell fairies line. Sadly, only the Tinker Bell Fairies line did well. The Ariel and her sisters line also include stylized mini plushes, and pvc figure sets of the sisters.
Rizzy Dawkins actually he always refers to the 00s and everything Y2K-related as the the noughties. “Nought” is another word for zero in the UK! I love it because it sounds like naughties which describes the 2000s perfectly 😂
Did you have the "Dawn'n'me Pocketbook"? I was born in 69 but had older sister - that purse was my favorite, and I always crammed the Dancing Dale doll in it :D
In Portugal we had Tucha in the 70's but I'm not sure if it was released outside Portugal. Also, the main line of Living Dead Dolls seems to have stopped (at least for now), even though they keep running the "Presents" line, which is a shame, as I collect those dolls. And also, Bleeding Edge Goths. Those stopped quite a few years ago, also a shame!
I agree with you about the molded-on clothes on the Forces of Destiny dolls, but I bought them anyway. In terms of quality and play value they're not great but I think their faces and hairstyles actually look really nice and they look so cute sitting posed and sitting on my shelves, which is really the most I'm ever going to do with them.
Mary Quant brought us the mini skirt! Twiggy wore them a lot, with stockings. There's videos about the 60s Era London mod fashion on the Ultimate Fashion History channel on RUclips. London was IT during that time, I believe Carnaby St in particular.
Perfect timing! I was just celebrating the lol omg dolls first birthday! I was thinking about how happy I am because their not discontinued, and this popped up in my recommendations 😁😅
My baby sister & I collected the Dawn dolls. Up until a couple of years ago, I still had a few. I miss my baby sister & hated that I lost the Dawn dolls.
Mattel actually started making the Polly Pocket fashion dolls again a couple of years ago! They have plastic hair again, but they work exactly the same. I'm not sure if Mattel has started selling the Polly Pocket reboot internationally yet, but it's very cute - I'm hoping they continue it
I have some Dawn dolls. They're my favorite n they were most fashionable. My youngest daughter had a set they made back in 2007 or 2008 but some guy stole all our stuff out of storage along with her Winx club dolls
Oh ,I wish I'd kept my Daisy dolls ,Dawn also had a similar doll called Pippa in the 60s and 70s in uk and I had them all including furniture,and I had Two Dustys 😄 yes you bought what you could back then,but I did like her,thanks for the trip down memory lane . 😊
The Dawn dolls are SO adorable!! I have one, but she’s nekkid! And I LOVE the Forces of Destiny dolls, but I dislike the plastic clothes too! I thought it was just me! I NEED the Padme one, she’s harder to find.
I used to play with fashion Polly Pocket dolls, there was a line of those dolls with articulated arms and legs as well as real long hair, and it was so good. 👌
I was obsessed with those Polly dolls! I had so many sets! And I agree. I stopped liking them after they stopped making the rubber clothes. I think it would be super cool if someone made a Drag Queen doll line.
I had Daisy the Mary Quant doll and Action girl . I used to collect pedigree sindy dolls. I also had a lot of Pippa dolls , Dawn dolls and Hornby Flower fairies which were a cute size and shape but I wish they had more clothes than just fairy dresses. I still have some of those.
Mary Quant is a fashion designer who came to prominence in the 60s often credited for designing the mini skirt. Daisy dolls who she designed clothes for are from the early 70s.
I remember the Polly Fashion dolls! My cats LOVED playing with the clothes because they were bouncy and chewable - I think I ended up using them more as cat toys than to dress up the dolls!
i can't comment on part 3 so i'm gonna comment here, i was so excited when you included secret central because i had a good year of obsessing over those dolls, the coolest part about them was the backstories. they had cheaply animated webisodes about the characters on their website but i think they should've had a tv show or books. they had like 20 something characters each "class" (there were two classes) and everyone had their own best friends, enemies, significant others, and cliques, it was so cool
I love my Dawn dolls, and really loved making clothes for them because all you needed was small scraps. When I look at them now, I still love them. However I can get over the crazy clothes I made as a child. What was I thinking???
I loved polly pocket as a kid. I always lost the shoes, or the shoes band ripped off. I went also on their website. Polly was def one of my favorite dolls. Sad that they stopped making them. They now make the original ones. The really tiny ones.
I got a huge box of Dawn clothing at local thrift store, and sold a few for upwards of $70! I also have Harry, (Yule Ball) Ron, and Hermione from Tonner!
I loved my dawn dolls, especially angie, my flatsy dolls, various types of liddle kiddles, upsy downsy dolls, crissy, and I especially loved brunette casey from the barbie line.
I definitely wish they would try to do some more smaller doll lines I feel like bigger ones are more popular right now. Loved the fashion polly pockets. My Grandma also had a dawn doll I used to love playing with and I also had a few of the mattel mini kingdom dolls. Great fun sizes I would really love if they brought some of those back. Definitely really liked the Ariel doll line idea if they brought that back it would be really neat!
If you’re planning on doing another video then you should definitely check out Winx Club (they have several variations of dolls) , Regal Academy , Barbie Peekaboos/Mini B , Stardoll dolls , WITCH
I love the 2000s polly! I definitely chewed on the clothes too, and stuck a pair of the trainers up my nose, which sent me to hospital 😐 needless to say I didn’t do that again!
i guess he meant more like, classic fashion dolls ya know? like the LOL’s don’t have brushable hair, i would consider the OMG’s to be fashion dolls but the regular LOL Surprise to be more like figurines
Polly Pockets with the rubber outfits made a comeback in 2018 in the US. She even has a show to go along. They still look gorgeous, but they are cheaper now, even the head and the hair are made out of hard plastic now. Here in Brazil they were never discontinued because they’ve always been a success here. Luckily we have more than 100 different head/hair molds!
I have both fashion Star Wars Queen Amadolla (sp) dolls from the prequels lol. The one was super fun you could style her hair in a bunch of styles from the movies.
I mean most dolls are skinny & blonde anyway... Needless to say Bratz, Monster High & Barbie being the biggest Doll lines of our time depict skinny female figures... Sure Barbie has "plus size" & is trying to be more inclusive but thats all for commercial reasons & the dolls aren't really cute or fashion, its simply, here's a big girl... So I don't see why you couldn't have a Naomi doll in 2020? What's really the difference.
I loved the Cassy dolls from the very early 90s. They were made by Hornby and the packaging was like a hard plastic VHS cassette box which, when fitted together would form a house, each one having a card 'room' scene on the cassette box. The dolls were small, I'd guess around 6".
I LOVE Shibajuku girls. I have several. They're not on display at the moment. I got both Yokos from the first two lines and then wound up with two others at sale prices at our discount store. Oddly, I can't find the Yoko shown in your thumbnail but I know I HAVE her, just in another box. She's probably in the one that has Maleficent. The one thing I don't like is the hair tends to tangle easily. They hang out with my pullips though and fit right in. I agree with you on the smaller dolls. I was SO disappointed the new she-ra dolls weren't action figure sized!
I just gave away all my Polly stuff not too long ago! I had the So Hip Cruise Ship, a little purple car with a crimped hair Polly, and a fold-up house from 2002 with an air glitter wardrobe. I randomly found a doll about two weeks ago! And yes, I did chew her gummy clothes after throroughly washing them 🤣🤣 I still have my Mary Kate and Ashley dolls!
I used to have the polly pocket fashion case and I miss it so much! Also my grandma used to have the small Dawn doll. She bought it for my aunt when she was little but by the time me and my cousins were old enough to play with her she was a compete wreck lol. I think she's still in my grandparents toy chest though.
I had a couple of the fashion Polly Pocket set. Broke my heart when you mentioned it because my mom took them away after my younger sister put a tiny Polly shoe up her nose 😭
For anyone wondering, Mary Quant was a British fashion designer who was famous during the 60s. Her work was highly influential in the London Mod / Swinging Sixties look, with her being regarded as the person who invented, or at least brought to the mainstream, mini skirts. She passed away last year at the grand old age of 93. A few years back, the V&A did an amazing exhibition about her work, and it was so lovely to see these vintage clothing pieces in person. They also had one of the Mary Quant Daisy dolls on display, and she was BEAUTIFUL! I would love to own one one day.
My sisters and I all had the Ariel and her sister dolls and used them in my grandma's pool! They held up surprisingly well in constant chlorine and I loved Adela
hello, love your videos😉 i remember when i was little i have the mary quant,dusty,sindy,barbie,jem... now i have just the barbies,disney,my scene,bratz dolls
I LOVE the Ariel & Her Sisters dolls, you rarely ever see stylization pushed to that degree in playline fashion dolls, it's a shame they're so rare and expensive..!
I actually still have of my Polly pocket fashion dolls I prefer them than any other versions. I also have that exact Polly play set in the first photo but in a different color variation.
I had a little hand held retractable fan from the disney store that had ariel and her sisters on it from the same time period. i think the dolls were modeled after the 2-d illustrations from that period of ariel and her sisters. edit: i have a zendaya vip doll to this day and i will never get rid of it, although i do not have the box anymore but i have all the accessories
dawn and issued pippa in the uk they can share fashions and playsets, loved dusty the shag hairdo was very popular in the 70s, topmodels karen mulder part of the sindy line,love fashion corner with the sleep eyes love the olsen dolls
The "Ariel and her Sisters" line was apparently discontinued because parents said the stylized bodies created a harmful image to impressionable children. That's right, the waist of a mermaid doll who has a fish tail instead of legs was considered an unrealistic ideal.
Anyhow, I think their tails had a wire in them like Betty Spaghetti so it was easy to pose. I remember DS also having a short-lived line for the Disney Heroes which actually looked really cool.
I don't dislike the dolls for their 'unrealistic standards', I hate them cause they have god awful proportions 😂
I actually just sold the Ariel from that set on eBay. They are very strange looking dolls in my opinion. The one cool thing though is that their waists are ball jointed so the tails are super poseable. But they are also incredibly small-waisted.
To be fair, the waist and arms are so tiny it looks like a mermaid suffering from some sort of eating disorder or sickness...
They look like hotdogs with hair
I just want to see a nose on that picture
I remember Disney had Polly pocket equivalents with Disney princesses with rubber fashions
OMG YESSS!!! I had the Cinderella and Rapunzel ones
Yes! And then magiclip dresses. But they stopped and got ripped off. Sad.
Yes
I remember that, I had the Ariel one.
Yes! I think they were the precursor to the Little Kingdom ones. I still have some of them around.
I just bought a massive Polly Pocket collection from the thrift store. There were tons of dolls, clothes, and playsets. Whoever owned them, took very good care of them.
mary quant is the fashion designer who invented the mini skirt!
And she’s British! I feel him should know who Mary quant is 😅😅
I wanted to write that with the mini skirt :D though I was younger, I still remember how blessed I felt when I got an eye shadow from her in a shop as a present. It was a very daaark purple cream, I am not sure if anybody ever had it on the eyelids. But I loved always the Sixties, so it was a huge present I got.
I have two Daisies, by the way. Both were in bundles of dolls. Sometimes it is said they have a huge worth. Don't know if it is true.

i can't comment on part 3 so i'm gonna comment here, i was so excited when you included secret central because i had a good year of obsessing over those dolls, the coolest part about them was the backstories. they had cheaply animated webisodes about the characters on their website but i think they should've had a tv show or books. they had like 20 something characters each "class" (there were two classes) and everyone had their own best friends, enemies, significant others, and cliques, it was so cool
I am cracking up about chewing on the Polly Pocket fashion! That is so true
I love my Dawn dolls, and really loved making clothes for them because all you needed was small scraps. When I look at them now, I still love them. However I can get over the crazy clothes I made as a child. What was I thinking???
I loved polly pocket as a kid. I always lost the shoes, or the shoes band ripped off. I went also on their website. Polly was def one of my favorite dolls. Sad that they stopped making them. They now make the original ones. The really tiny ones.
The first doll you are showing I did have a long time ago and I do miss them, that I do understand but it’s a chocking haste 😢
I got a huge box of Dawn clothing at local thrift store, and sold a few for upwards of $70! I also have Harry, (Yule Ball) Ron, and Hermione from Tonner!
There was an "ariel and sisters" play set on the disney store last year, very pretty... ❤️
Saw it in the Disney store the other day - so tempted to buy it! :)
I use to have the first one you showed which is Polly Pocket and it looks the exactly the same as my one when I was younger.
I loved my dawn dolls, especially angie, my flatsy dolls, various types of liddle kiddles, upsy downsy dolls, crissy, and I especially loved brunette casey from the barbie line.
Mary quant was a 1960s fashion designer
They have mini Disney mermaid dolls on the Disney shop website.
5:00 I have the Cece Jones first Disney VIP doll I loved Shake it Up so much as kid I also really want the Rocky Blue one but she’s harder to find 😢
I definitely wish they would try to do some more smaller doll lines I feel like bigger ones are more popular right now. Loved the fashion polly pockets. My Grandma also had a dawn doll I used to love playing with and I also had a few of the mattel mini kingdom dolls. Great fun sizes I would really love if they brought some of those back. Definitely really liked the Ariel doll line idea if they brought that back it would be really neat!
If you’re planning on doing another video then you should definitely check out Winx Club (they have several variations of dolls) , Regal Academy , Barbie Peekaboos/Mini B , Stardoll dolls , WITCH
I love the 2000s polly! I definitely chewed on the clothes too, and stuck a pair of the trainers up my nose, which sent me to hospital 😐 needless to say I didn’t do that again!
What about the Fairy Tale High dolls?
Ever After High?
I didn't forget about Shibajuku Girls. I have few of those. :)
The last line of dolls really look inspired on Devil Wears Prada😍
"They dont make small dolls anymore" eerm Joey? I could swallow a whole LOL Doll lmao
i guess he meant more like, classic fashion dolls ya know? like the LOL’s don’t have brushable hair, i would consider the OMG’s to be fashion dolls but the regular LOL Surprise to be more like figurines
I love the 60’s Dawn dolls I have three of them
Joey: "America's next top model" (but says it kinda fast)
Captions: "America's sex doll model"
Polly Pockets with the rubber outfits made a comeback in 2018 in the US. She even has a show to go along. They still look gorgeous, but they are cheaper now, even the head and the hair are made out of hard plastic now. Here in Brazil they were never discontinued because they’ve always been a success here. Luckily we have more than 100 different head/hair molds!
I have both fashion Star Wars Queen Amadolla (sp) dolls from the prequels lol. The one was super fun you could style her hair in a bunch of styles from the movies.
I remember a couple of Monster High rip offs one of them “once upon a zombie”
I mean most dolls are skinny & blonde anyway... Needless to say Bratz, Monster High & Barbie being the biggest Doll lines of our time depict skinny female figures... Sure Barbie has "plus size" & is trying to be more inclusive but thats all for commercial reasons & the dolls aren't really cute or fashion, its simply, here's a big girl... So I don't see why you couldn't have a Naomi doll in 2020? What's really the difference.
I had a load of the Polly Pocket sets. The clothes were great, except the rubber trousers were impossible to get on and off!
I loved the Cassy dolls from the very early 90s. They were made by Hornby and the packaging was like a hard plastic VHS cassette box which, when fitted together would form a house, each one having a card 'room' scene on the cassette box. The dolls were small, I'd guess around 6".
I LOVE Shibajuku girls. I have several. They're not on display at the moment. I got both Yokos from the first two lines and then wound up with two others at sale prices at our discount store. Oddly, I can't find the Yoko shown in your thumbnail but I know I HAVE her, just in another box. She's probably in the one that has Maleficent. The one thing I don't like is the hair tends to tangle easily. They hang out with my pullips though and fit right in. I agree with you on the smaller dolls. I was SO disappointed the new she-ra dolls weren't action figure sized!
I just gave away all my Polly stuff not too long ago! I had the So Hip Cruise Ship, a little purple car with a crimped hair Polly, and a fold-up house from 2002 with an air glitter wardrobe.
I randomly found a doll about two weeks ago! And yes, I did chew her gummy clothes after throroughly washing them 🤣🤣
I still have my Mary Kate and Ashley dolls!
I used to have the polly pocket fashion case and I miss it so much! Also my grandma used to have the small Dawn doll. She bought it for my aunt when she was little but by the time me and my cousins were old enough to play with her she was a compete wreck lol. I think she's still in my grandparents toy chest though.
I had a couple of the fashion Polly Pocket set. Broke my heart when you mentioned it because my mom took them away after my younger sister put a tiny Polly shoe up her nose 😭
Aw. That is quite sad.
For anyone wondering, Mary Quant was a British fashion designer who was famous during the 60s. Her work was highly influential in the London Mod / Swinging Sixties look, with her being regarded as the person who invented, or at least brought to the mainstream, mini skirts.
She passed away last year at the grand old age of 93. A few years back, the V&A did an amazing exhibition about her work, and it was so lovely to see these vintage clothing pieces in person. They also had one of the Mary Quant Daisy dolls on display, and she was BEAUTIFUL! I would love to own one one day.
My sisters and I all had the Ariel and her sister dolls and used them in my grandma's pool! They held up surprisingly well in constant chlorine and I loved Adela
i miss strawberry shortcake doll series 🍓🍓🍓
Me too!
hello,
love your videos😉
i remember when i was little i have the mary quant,dusty,sindy,barbie,jem...

I LOVE the Ariel & Her Sisters dolls, you rarely ever see stylization pushed to that degree in playline fashion dolls, it's a shame they're so rare and expensive..!
Also love these vids but my dude you need to do some research in the process haha, you didn't know who Mary Quant is? :0
I truly enjoy watching your channel 💖. You have fantastic content and do your research. Keep up the great work!
I actually still have of my Polly pocket fashion dolls I prefer them than any other versions. I also have that exact Polly play set in the first photo but in a different color variation.
I had a little hand held retractable fan from the disney store that had ariel and her sisters on it from the same time period. i think the dolls were modeled after the 2-d illustrations from that period of ariel and her sisters. edit: i have a zendaya vip doll to this day and i will never get rid of it, although i do not have the box anymore but i have all the accessories
dawn and issued pippa in the uk they can share fashions and playsets, loved dusty the shag hairdo was very popular in the 70s, topmodels karen mulder part of the sindy line,love fashion corner with the sleep eyes love the olsen dolls
Omg I had disney princess Polly pockets and they used to have rubber dresses before they got those clip ones
