So happy that this interesting piece of history went into the hands of a fellow Diva Starz stan! It's so interesting that they decided to go with a superhero/crime-fighting route. Doubly interesting that this was written the same year that a lot of other similar shows would have went into pitching or production- Groove Squad, Kim Possible, Totally Spies, etc. Not to mention that these shows seem to have a lot of similar plot points and character archetypes. It makes me wonder if there was some kind of internal call for showrunners to introduce more action-adventure shows aimed at girls, or if it was some sort of domino effect?
Yeah, that’s a good point! It would’ve fit in well with a lot of those shows. I wonder if it would’ve done well if they kept it in this lane, even with it being a tie-in to the dolls.
I had a Diva Starz doll, Nikki. I got her for my and a friend's birthday party in 2001, which would have been 22 years ago today on a weekend. I got Nikki the weekend Aaliyah died in that plane crash. I remember watching a Diva Starz webisode on a game site, I forget which site had Diva Starz but I watched it in 2010's. I would have loved their animated series.
this is so cool! i can't believe the TV series was going to be so different to the doll line they released. im so happy they didn't go in the crime fighting direction. it wouldn't have been terrible but ehh.... also i had no idea nikki was latina! they could have played on that so much more. the thing i did love about the show was having tia be kind of quiet and more "to herself." we don't get a lot of female black characters with softer personalities and it can get frustrating
Definitely agree with you on the direction of the show, I don’t know if it would’ve worked with the doll line it was based off of. Yeah, Nikki was done dirty in her cartoon form, I still don’t understand why doll companies whitewash their POC characters in the artwork/animated media. And I do also prefer Tia’s personality in the TV series rather than her final character.
31:41 how could you forget about My Little Pony 😭 that was Iconic although not perceived too well by older people. Also I think Alexa being 14 having a crush on an 18 year old isn’t shocking or jaw dropping at all considering that this is actually very common for teen’s Alexa’s age. I knew other teens that were lusting and inlove with people 18 or older and I was even one of them.
Would love to see either fanart, Sims versions, drawing all five of the Diva starz girls in different animation styles and someone dressing up as them and or cosplay and makeup/hair tutorials.
As a Diva Starz fan, I would love to see an animated series. Cartoons made by toys is the perfect way to get children to buy toys, plus Tia is my best girl of the Diva Starz
For sure! I personally would’ve preferred if they went the “slice of life” or “teen” route for the series, since it would’ve fit in with the line nicely. My fave is Alexa, but we love Tia in this household! 😍
You did an awesome job on this video! It's really fascinating to think Diva Starz could have had its own series, though I'm not too surprised that this particular iteration never made it to screen...
Thank you! It really is interesting that they were meant to have a TV series, but I can say that while some of the elements that were meant to appear in the series do work, there were some ideas that were better left shelved.
Finally got around to watch this! Loved it! Never actually got into Diva Starz but have been interested in them for years...getting obsessed with them is my fear though LMAO
Oh it’s never too late to join the fandom lol! 😂 In all seriousness, I can completely understand why some people aren’t into them, they are quite bizarre, but they do have a lot of charm to them lol
This is so cool! I was never into Diva stars (they were a bit before my time) but I had no clue a series was planned! I also had no clue (or forgot) that you created the doll iceberg! I loved that DarlingDollz video! This was a great video to play while dressing my 25 AG dolls for fall! Kept me entertained
Wow, i found you on twitter and you deserve a lot more views and subscribers. This is a fucking excellent video, i enjoyed every second of it. Your editing and narration is excellent, please keep making vids!!!
I only know about the flash games didn't know about the webisodes. Played the Gameboy color game. Had the original 4 doll's, some mini dolls and 1 or 3 of the fashion doll. The Nicki doll was hard to find the original diva starz doll. Has anybody else noticed this

@@4everbratz A slice-of-life would make it a lot easier. With 4 girls gaining development in friendship, family, life decisions, and lots of romance.

Awww thank you! 💖
Oh I love this!!!! I remember being lowkey freaked out of Diva Stars as a kid!! I love this as a series!! Give me all the doll lore/lost media/tea! 💖
Wow, i found you on twitter and you deserve a lot more views and subscribers. This is a fucking excellent video, i enjoyed every second of it. Your editing and narration is excellent, please keep making vids!!!
Awww thank you!! Of course I will!! I appreciate the support 💖
Man this is such a nostalgia hit! I forgot all about these!
amazing work here. I remember having the mini Nikki as a kid haha. this makes me think just how often these production relics end up on ebay 👀
Thank you! ✨
I had 2 Fashion Diva star dolls. Nikki and the glow in the dark Tia
One of the rare instances where two of my interests meet!!! If u make a video reading the pitch Bible I’d definitely watch :o
Ok! I have that planned for an upcoming video! ✨
Wow these were so ahead of their time through and through!
Very true! Very ahead of their time
I had Nikki and Tia! But Tia accidentally broke since I dropped her and her head broke on my dresser ._.
This makes me wonder, if they went with this concept for the Diva Starz, how would Miranda be portrayed? How would she be?
She was added much later iirc
@@kanna-san.
i knew that -_-
I have one the diva starz dolls with the fabric clothes and the blonde haired one forgot her name my apologies.
The idea of the diva star dolls being super heros is very weird
I only know about the flash games didn't know about the webisodes. Played the Gameboy color game. Had the original 4 doll's, some mini dolls and 1 or 3 of the fashion doll. The Nicki doll was hard to find the original diva starz doll. Has anybody else noticed this
I love lost media so I’d be really happy if you decided to read the Bible more💕
Ok! I have plans of making a separate video of me reading it. Don’t know when I’ll work on it, but hopefully soon. Thank you for the suggestion! 💕
The fact the entire pitch is in comic sans really offends me lol
This is such a holy grail oh my god😍😍
For real! 😍
I had every one except SUMMER :C
I’m loving it 😍
Thank you! 💕
I love this! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you! ✨
