- These new dolls come with so many accessories that the combinations are endless, they say. Will they get a big head about it? Probably not, but they will be 3D.

They seem nice as fashion dolls but not as much for play dolls. I think they would have been cool if they included some blank/plain stickers with markers that wash off with water to allow for the person playing with the dolls to create their own unique pieces as well, but the markers would bring the cost up too much probably.
I personally think it’s more fun to have colorful mix and match clothes so kids can be creative!
They can create their own clothes tho using the paper doll method
honestly I used to have paper dolls when I was a kid (both cheap pure paper ones and one where the doll itself was flat plastic) and their play value can still be pretty good depending on the kid, even with clothes that are fully factory drawn. still I agree that including clothes that can be colored or fully blank stickers would've been neat. from the looks of it I think kids might be able to make completely new clothes out of actual paper, but the thickness of the plastic might make the clothes' flaps a bit unstable.
I feel like magnetic or snap on clothes would be better for replayability than stickers because stickers aren't sticky forever
Personally I don't really get why I'd get these over a styling book. Because styling picture books with stickers or magnets are just 2d and I kinda don't like the whole 2.5 d thing these have
Yeah I feel like it's going to be a line we meme on in ten years like "wtf people were on that at the time", as we do with weird 2010s doll concepts
I’m disappointed the back is a solid color too, at that point you could sell dolls like this on a book with the clothes and skip the entire big box
@@crizmeow8394 yeah, since the back isn't detailed it doesn't have anything over a 2d book
I feel like these dolls would work way better if they used non-permanent vinyl, so you could remove the clothing and put it back on the hanger. For me, these needs to be dolls that you can style over and over again, since they don't have a lot of playing ability otherwise. When I was younger, I used to have a magnetic Barbie (that was flat) with a variety of magnetic cloths. And I do understand that putting magnets in the hands of younger children is problematic, but it was still a lot of fun for 7-8 years old me to style my barbie a different way every day. These dolls are a bit of a let-down in comparison.
wait you can't just take the clothes on and of?
The stickers are literally reusable lol you can take it back off the doll and back on the hanger board and use it again. It’s basically reusable vinyl 😂
Magnets would of definitely been better since I feel the stickers will end up tearing over time.
I didn't realize that, lol. At least there's that. I thought it was normal stickers. But I still think magnet or Velcro would last longer and less difficult to work with.@@jellybean4350
I used to get a sort of flat Barbie on chips as a kid! It was basically a plastic card with Barbie’s body and a couple of her outfits you could pull off the card and dress her up. You would get one in every chip package and they were obviously quite small,,, I really miss them
I wonder if they'll sale separate garment hanger packs with new outfits, so that kids can get more clothes without having to get another doll? I'd like to see the clothes be magnetized instead of stickers for extended durability, too.
I think these dolls are a great idea! Unfortunately they retail for £25 ($30 USD) here in the UK, which is ridiculous for a plastic equivalent of a paper dress up doll.
at least uk got them Australia didn't
They are 40 euros here in Finland... 🥲
I like the idea and how they look but to make these really last and have kids enjoy them - I think the clothes should've been a magnet
100%. And for the price they’re charging it seems they could afford to have done that
I felt you so much when you criticized the lack of a male doll. I really wish doll lines would focus on those from time to time. Shadow High FINALLY gave us a guy with long hair at least but my little Monster High obsessed heart wants dolls of all the boys that feature on the new show, especially Manny Taur.
I had "Flatsy Dolls" in the 1970's. Bendable rubber with wire inside so they were posable. Easy to make clothes for since they were flat.
These dolls look really interesting (even if they remind me a little of that scene from who framed roger rabbit).
Regarding the posability, I once made paper dolls like these and used split pins at the joints that allowed them make some poses. I imagine they could have done something similar (at least with the elbows and wrists) to give them some more playability.
I also wonder why the heads couldn’t move the way a normal dolls can, because they have a 3d head already. Even if they couldn’t have the full neck peg, they could have just had ball like the lol dolls surely.
this reminds me of a toy i used to have, except that the clothes were magnets instead of stickers, which honestly seems like a much easier and longterm toy, since stickers lose their stickiness
such a strange concept but i kind of love it. i always wished my paper dolls had hair i could play with. maybe i should get myself the Avril inspired one to heal my inner child lol
So it's a new expensive version of Paper dolls from the old days? Paper dolls are figures cut out of paper or thin card, with separate clothes, also made of paper, that are usually held onto the dolls by paper folding tabs. They may be a figure of a person, animal or inanimate object. Paper dolls have been inexpensive children's toys for almost two hundred years.
Yup and I loved paper dolls growing up
I find these a little creepy but at least those parents who complain about rainbow high, lol, and other girls dolls being "anatomically correct" can't do so with these because they are flat, I can also see the sticker clothes being found on things that are NOT the dolls, because stickers
I love these sooo much and especially that these are the first dolls I see that are SO TRENDY. As a teenager these are exactly outfits that are popular and trendy right now just with more colorful colors. And basically I am soooo happy that these are finally real everyday fashion icons
I really really like the idea but i would prefer velcro over stickers but maybe wouldnt look cute.
I know theres some fashion kid out there perfect for this doll
Reminds me of paper dolls, I used to play w my grandma’s paper dolls when I was a kid, aswell as played a lot of dress up games on game sites back in the day, so this just feels like a modern touch of it
Ohhh it’s an elevated paper doll that you can stand up and play with the hair, as opposed to a downgraded action figure. My 8 year old niece would absolutely LOVE this because she struggles with tiny fashion doll clothes. 💖💖💖 these are pretty cool.
I could definitely see these being popular for that age when pretend play gets less interesting and they might enjoy these as a colorful and creative way of expressing personal styles
I use cat/pet claw scissors from the Dollar Tree for cutting the jibbers - they grab ahold of the tiny things.
I admit, the first time I saw these, I just thought they were weird and couldn't understand why anyone would like them, but now I think they're kind of great. Colorforms were my favorite "paper doll" as a kid, because the clothes did not fall off. Lining them up to the body is very good for developing dexterity. When it comes to normal 3d dolls, hair play is very important, and to this day (I'm 54), brushing doll hair is as soothing as petting an animal, so it's great they have real hair. Dressing dolls can be tricky for little hands - they don't always have the patience to wiggle stuff on - so this gives quicker satisfaction. I love the way they store the stickers - in Colorforms, they had to stick directly on their original layout, and since that was cut in, eventually the plastic peeled up off the plastic. My concern is the durability of the stickers - that they will not tear or warp and will stay sticky.
People complaining about the price: I mean, $30 is way too much for a paper doll, but this is a doll playset, with 5 curated outfits with an average of 7 items each, along with a handful of accessories, and "furniture" (clothes hanger, stand). Fashionistas start out at $10USD, come with shoes, dress, and maybe one accessory. I think these would be great for travel and would provide hours of creative play styling the dolls. How much is a movie date with a kid and it only lasts 2 hours tops? This seems like just as good an investment.
I'll be honest ... Id watch you read the phone book. I'm so envious that you're cute and can be on camera. My husband encouraged me to do more with my channel but id never ever be on camera. Not the way i look. I'm hope you enjoy doing these videos. It's nice to see someone who doesn't have an insane upload schedule.
Omg I resport to not fill.ing because I'm overwhelmed on camera. I've been feeling really low lately. I think you should go on cam if you are ready and want to. I'd watch
In the end of the 60s arly 70s there where flat Dolls with even a flat Head called Flatsy. They had 2 Types. Adult and Kids. And they where flexible and had Fabric Fashions.
I loved them. I have 2 I purchased from EBay. I had them as a child in the 60’s.
I like the concept but wonder about the play experience. Really cute dolls though. Glad you are back, Jen.❤
Thank you! 🤗
So true sowen in doll hair, is a pain to get free! Really hate when they do that
I think it's interesting, that they made a toy, that's based on paper dolls, you can make. Where you can change the dolls outfit.
i feel like magnets would be way better than stickers
These remind me of the paper/card dolls I used to have.
The idea was the clothes had little tabs on them you put the clothes on the doll then fold thhe tab over to keep it secure.
honestly as cute as they are and as unique a concept this is, i cant see these dolls being much of anything in the future. they havent arrived in my country just yet and i dont know if they ever will, but the pricing for them some other commenters are talking about seems like way too much for what they are. i cant see kids wanting these over other doll lines out there and the price difference doesnt seem like its enough to make parents buy them over the dolls their kids want and they arent unique enough in their looks for collectors to really care about. theyre fun, but realistically, they probably wont last long. we'll be lucky to see a wave 2 of these but i dont think they'll get much more than that.
17:10 Harpers Body hahaha
Feels like a Jennifer’s body reference 😅
Ahh. I thought these were magnetic. Sticker outfits just get wrecked so easily. Tip fpr the hanher though. Push some air dry clay into the base so when it dries will weight it down so less likely to tumble.
Great idea!!
The dolls said ✨✨skinny legend✨✨
i feel as though theyre very nostalgic to the cardboard magnetic dolls back then and those sticker dolls you could get from the vending machine. but like those vending machine sticker dolls, they dont last. they shouldve done the wood/cardboard style
I kinda feel like the outfits should've been magnetic... Might've made for more longevity for the outfits over stickers. But that's just me.
I thought it’d be more like flatsy dolls which are flat but posable with fabric clothes
Yea when I heard about these coming out I didn't really know what to expect.
!!! I FINALLY REFOUND YOUR CHANNEL !!!!!!! its been YEARS and im so happy to see you on my feed . i loved watching you when i was younger
Very cute concept for a doll. And totally giving me paper doll nostalgia. On the fence about the whole sticker clothing thing since obviously the sticky will wear off after a while with continued play and from oils from hands and whatnot. Think a cling method instead of a sticker method would have been better for something like this but maybe not. Might get 1 doll just for ha-ha's to see if I like it. But don't see myself getting the whole set even though they are cute. As always love your review! 😁
I feel like magnets may have been a better option instead of stickers. They're cute, i might also get one. i just worry about the stickers losing the sticky.
@@ceazarsalad4414 Magnets would be too small and dangerous.
@@zombei_kid I mean that's on the parents is it not? Pretty much every doll on the market states it's for children ages 3 and up because they pose choking hazards to infants. Parents also shouldn't be just giving their kids a toy and leaving them be if there's any hazard for them or another child in the home. Everything is dangerous for children, that's why they have a caregiver of some kind to keep them safe until they can understand safety and how to keep themselves safe.
@@xobunnyfangsxo The company isn't going to use magnets unless they have to because of the potential hazard. And its not just a choking hazard. If the magnets are swallowed separately, they can magnetize to each other through organs and cause all kinds of issues. Why risk the liability and potential customer loss?
These are so cute. Would have loved them as a kiddo. Way better than an old school paper doll.
Finally a doll that represents my body type
its not a bad idea but i think the clothes being flat magnets that stick to the base instead of stickers would be better. the sticker idea just doesn't seem very long lasting. like mi guarantee kids are gonna get them torn or dirty or folded in on themselves etc etc etc... I'm not confident it would hold up for much long term play value
that’s exactly what I was thinking. I was wondering why not just go completely flat and still put some hair on the flattened doll. in my eyes in presents very negative body image sort of saying that the only thing that should stand out about is your face and if they’re going to be completely flat why not do multiple different body sizes i.e. plus size size 0 regular size ones without a leg or with prosthetics etc, it will be so easy to do in a flat medium
I wish they came in normal doll forms because I love their outfits so much but I hate how they are flat like that
do wonder if u can make ur own clothings for them??
That is weird. What looked like a regular doll in the front is actually 2 dimensional.
The crop top dress shirt with the tie is giving Miku vibes lol
These are really cute. I like Dylan, her hair is so pretty I just love the color.
Dude why stickers??? Magnets would be perfect!
Interesting doll. Maybe if you are limited with space. But not crazy about this concept. If we lived in a tiny house or RV, I might consider this for my girls. Thank you for your video, Jen.
I’ve been looking at these on Amazon forever, I actually like them. Might get one or two.
Yeah personally these definitely aren’t my cup of tea, they are definitely not good for play if you had given me this as I child I would play with it for a good five minutes before getting bored and going back to my Barbie’s monster highs and lps. These seem just like a sort of cash grab a king a super cheap to make doll and selling them for thirty bucks. They have no possibility and you can’t really dress them in other dolls clothes so your options are super limited. These just feel like some super cheap to make cash grab, they want to make a toy of the year by encouraging social media usage and being “hip”. I had more fun with my paper Barbie’s then I ever would have had with these
To tell the truth I hated it haha. I've had dolls to build with stickers and in the end they always end up losing the glue, or full of fur, hair and dust. Furthermore, many of the shoes and clothes are similar between the girls, which shows a lack of originality, as well as the accessories, they all have the same bracelets just in different colors. If they were much cheaper than normal dolls I would understand. But I bet the difference is very small. I think I judge a little because I've always loved dolls for the construction of their clothes or for any extra details they may have, and in that way it's difficult to appreciate details. Anyway, I know I'm not the target audience, but if I were a child I don't know if I would like it too, it's very difficult to put a sticker on a page that you've taken off and try to put back on, in the end it's a mess and I would feel it (and maybe get beaten for) """ruining the toy""" so quickly. Jen is adorable, but it's definitely not for me. Furthermore, I thought that Harper has a style that is even too similar to Clowdeen Wolf, I think it's a bit annoying as they always associate the character who has dark complex skin with street wear.... I think sometimes it could be different. Anyway, just my opinion
It's as if they wanted a cross between a paper doll and Bratz doll. Honestly the stickers would drive me batty.
Oh my god i haven't seen thhis channel in AGES! god i missed watching your content
Oh i love these!
I'm only 7 minutes in but I kinda want one. I recently played with a sticker paper doll from a gross chocolate making kit I got from an Asian mart, but I had a lot of fun playing with it and being creative with the different hair and clothing stickers.
I don’t think i like their clothing being stickers. I feel like they would lose stickiness over time. Tbh i think making them magnetic would work better.
Would have been nice to see how the stickers work, Jen.
She did use the stickers and dressed the dolls.
@@denise9735 though not shown how easy or reusable the stickers are which would be the interesting bit.
They are stickers. I didn't show it too much because you peel them off and stick em as usual. But they are reusable.
@@NexJen thanks for the reply. I just think too much info on individual dolls and not enough on practicalities which is unusual for you. You always show if glitter is embedded or sheds, and what the sewing looks like but I thin you missed the details on this one. Still love your videos though x
Jen,
Random comment: Wanted to say that I truly appreciated something you said in the video where you unboxed the gifts you got. I´m talking about the Marvel "fidget toys". That you said that those toys were great for someone that was a Marvel fan.
I´m a DC Comics fan. That doesn´t mean I don´t watch all superhero movies but the ones I buy, the comics I get and stuff are from DC. And while, of course, there are people that would like both Marvel and DC there are also the people that have a specific fandom. And it meant a lot to me that you had the tought of specify Marvel and not put all superheroes in the same boat. ;)
Cross between a flatsy doll and a paper doll. Weird they made them one sided... I'll stick with my flatsy and paper dolls.
I don't like these dolls, I'd rather have a well designed traditional paper doll with tons of different fashions. I do get the idea behind them, and I'm sure many people will like having many clothes plus the option of hair play.
42:33 I would argue that lack of articulation stimulates imagination more, since you have to come up with new ways to perform or convey the action the toy is supposed to be doing. Also would make you focus more in verbalizing what's going and the toy/character inner feelings and thoughts, instead of just posing them. 😁
And this is coming from someone who would have loved to have fully articulated dolls as a child! But I also had a blast with normal paper dolls and plain mini figures.
So in the end, if the child likes a particular toy, they will find the way to play and enjoy it.
Love your reviews, by the way! You do a great job going over all the details and you are really honest. All the best! 😊
As much as I like the fashion the quality is not there for me I wish the sticker were magnets maybe encased in resin I fell like the stickers wouldn't last a week with a child
You know, I was initially very sceptical towards this concept as it felt like a cheap gimmick, but as someone who had both paper dolls and fridge magnet dolls as a kid, I probably would have actually really liked these. Though I've seen comments that depending on the country they cost between $20-40, and that I wouldn’t pay for them. Maybe $15, or even perhaps up to $17.5. Yes, not that much different, but it feels more reasonable.
Yep, weird but interesting covers it.
So excited to watch! ❤
I’ve come back to this channel after a couple of years, omg she looks like a grandma now
ouch. thanks
Missed you 😂, only had bunty comic in the 60s😅 loved it so different,the hair i think you get one end of the cotton then pull it ❤ uk
Bae!? This branding feels like a 40yo heard their teen daughter use that word and thought it was some hip new dippidy fresh word meaning "bestie" or something... But many know better.
Hahahaha
here they are.... the skinny legends
Hm I'm not feeling them, they're ok but I'll pass on them
Love the video, as always. Just wanted to mention though that caucasian is an obsolete racial classification of humans based on a theory of biological race that has now been disproven. It was coined in the late 18th century by the Göttingen school of history, and they divided humanity into three major race categories: caucasoid, negroid and mongoloid. Both mongoloid and negroid are words that have fallen out of fashion in general society, but caucasoid or caucasian is a term that is still used to describe white people, despite referring to a disproven and generally racist theory of human race classification.
Thank you for the information 😊
@@NexJen always a pleasure. I’ve been watching your videos for over a year now, so I thought that you’d appreciate it, since it’s also something that I learned recently.
So... every doll has a predominantly blue, purple and pink outfit palettes? They could have made green, yellow, red, orange, white, etc. But all these other colours are, at most, minimally present, and you would be really pressed to make an outfit or two without blue, purple or pink, especially if you ony have one doll. Quite disappointing. Also, some of these clothing pieces seem a bit too similar between the dolls. I don't see a strongly individual style for any of them, maybe Kiki. I think, that the person who came up with the styles and colours, didn't do a good enough job.
My other complaint would be the fact, that these are stickers. It would be much better if they were those soft magnetic sheets. Much easier to put on and off, stackable, and much more sturdy. Some of the clothing pieces have very tiny details, sharp corners, those will get torn/crumpled/warped the moment a child touches them. No matter how careful a kid is, even a 10 year old is likely to accidentally damage it, which is just a big bag of upset. Not to mention, that a sticker isn't sticky for long (especially in the hands of a child), and will pick up dirt super easy. A soft magnetic sheet doesn't have this problem.
Their faces look a bit too similar. Like, they aren't identical if you look closely, but still.
Something I really don't dig, is how multiple of their accessories are the same, just in a different colour. Not even a different pattern or anything, just a solid piece of colored plastic. If you make the same exact mold in three different colours, it's not three different accessories, it's the same thing in different colours.
The representation.....it just feels like they haven't even tried. Oh, let's make their skin a gradient from pale to tanned, great! Not. A mixed family of one white and one black parent has children with a wider range of skin colour. Where is the darker complexion? Where is the east asian and indian representation? No ginger hair again? Freckles?
And let's not even mention the fact, that there isn't even 1 token boy. Like, what even.
Good idea, nice artwork, terrible execution.
I vote for Harper! These are really cool!
Tbh im not collecting dolls as much as I have in the past, partly because of space reasons in my home, and also because of inflation making everything that much harder to afford. But a lot of it has to do with how fast all the doll lines are pumping out products/new lines.. *ahem* Rainbow High 👀.. its so hard to keep up with them. I really only care to collect Bratz these days, but these kind of interest me, mainly because of how cute the fashions are and how many pieces they come with. The flat/2D/paper mario is throwing me off a bit, but I did grow up with paper dolls, so its not like im not used to flat dolls. Theres just something about a 2D body with a 3D head thats... odd 🤔
nice you remove the glasses without breaking the hair if it has staple in it
I don't think they're practical for children. I mean it seems like a cool idea in theory, but in practise I'm not so sure. If I had this as a kid I'm sure I would've accidentally ruined one of the dolls at one point or another (I mean I had a couple of barbies and monster highs lose their heads at one point or another just from me being a kid and playing with my dolls and they are way more playable then these dolls are) and as a kid I had a wooden doll which had a similar idea to this, but because it was wooden it was far more durable to be played with by a kid (it was by Melissa and Doug I believe, but I don't remember what it was called or anything.... all I know/remember is it was a thing that I played with in the early 2000's)
(also something I want to add, is it just me, or does this have vibes of something you might get in a McDonald's happy meal?)
Hi Jen! I jus wanted to give you a heads up my bell icon, at least visually, is stuck on 'None' as opposed to 'All' like I normally do. I only mention this because I'm not sure if this may be just a me problem, or if other of your viewers may be experiencing this too.
If your view count has been off lately, this may be why!
Not a patch on the Magic Marys of the 70s.
I have problems with motor skills, so, this is a nightmare, I didn’t like paper dolls for the same reason, I don’t like so many small details. Magnet clothes would be much more accessible.
Male dolls are not bought up as much are female dolls are, and after all... the companies all care about is just about profit.
Not gonna lie kinda got an ick feeling when you labelled the clearly marketed poc girl as a "really tan avril"
Woah. I didn't get that far, because I saw the flat dolls and noped out. That is NOT okay.
When are u gonna review Amazing Ally? I feel like she’s been forgotten 😂
Oh she never had been forgotten haha. I just wasn't sure people would like it if I shifted to my vintage stuff?
Hmm… Fashion dolls keep getting skinnier and skinnier… Tsk, tsk. 🤔
Um...as flat as grandma's pancakes? Am i missing something? 🤐
Seems cheap...doll companies are not even trying, any more.
I don't think i have ever came across this comment section being open
holy uve said bae so many times ...half the time of watching i thought all the audio said was "bae"
What does BAE stand for?
Bae used to be "baby" back in the day... and sweetheart even further back, it's the thing that one would say about their significant other, "S/he is my bae". I'd say it sounds very inappropriate to package to kids.
I love your videos, but maybe you should think about your backdrop/background. It is hard to see what you are showing, it's too bright with white
Thats what i say about her after the first date/j
👍👍🤗🤗
I need an adult🥺
Omg
Style Poop
you going gray? i thought you were like 25
35 now, but I've been going gray since 20 sadly. I lead a very stressful life and its not helping lol
@@NexJen You look younger then 35
how.... unique?
To me its kinda boring besides the hair.
Its a hard pass for me interesting but not that interesting
ew
The way you talk reminds me of My Froggy Stuff….. too much. Like you’re mimicking her for views. That makes me feel a way….
Toya is wonderful but I definitely do not copy her lol. I've been around doing my reviews since 2013 and updated in 2015. similar I guess but not the same at all. More people have gotten into being super descriptive which is nice, but I am 100% one of the original people who pointed out every detail and definitely one of if not the first to call out flaws.
@@NexJen Good to know. My daughter who lives in Finland came upon your reviews and linked me a video. Toya probably fits my algorithm more, so I know more of her.
Gods i miss paper dolls. I would have loved these as a kid
Yet another unattainable standard for women 🥲 /j
I'm not sure I get the point, or maybe it's just because the hybrid flat body/big head creeps me out a bit 😅 I used to love paper/magnet dolls as a kid, but I also loved the part of having stick on hair too, I never felt like brushing real hair on my flat dolls... but maybe some kids do!
Eta: The hanger rack design is terrible 😅 It's made to flop over with such an uneven light base with heavier cardboard. I'm also very skeptical about durability. The main appeal of paper dolls is how inexpensive and accessible they are. They can also last if you're careful. But stickers will very quickly get dirty and curl when reused, but you paid way more than a regular paper doll! It would be much more interesting as magnets or maybe velcros or any other durable way of attaching the clothes on
I think it's a unique idea for maybe $10 but not $20...which is what they are priced at here in the States. Thanks for the video, Jen!
I wouldn;t mind $12 or even $15 but $20 with CA tax, yeah that too much. lol
20 dollars is about half the price we have here in Finland. Here they are 40 euros each, so around 42 US dollars. (But fortunately that includes every tax.)
It cost over 30 in austraila
