The female mariachi outfit was definitely a missed opportunity. The dress is beautiful. Unfortunately, I guess Ken doesn’t sell as much as Barbie so Mattel keeps “barbiefying” even the male inspiration.
Yes, I agree that it should be a Ken doll, though I am not familiar to Juan Gabriel. I bought her just because of the cute Odile face and the clothing is pretty good. Btw, always love your backdrop for the video.
I’m really glad you got this doll 😊 She is very pretty and deserving of an articulated body 😁 I totally agree with you about the missed opportunities that Mattel keeps having with releasing Barbies inspired by male artists instead of giving us a new fantastic Ken doll, just as easily as they are giving a Barbie doll 🫤 It’s quite frustrating when I’m trying to build my Ken collection and they refuse to give us even half as many Ken dolls as they give Barbies 😤 and when the Ken dolls that are released are in such low quantities, the demand is high, so the second-hand market sellers make the industry ridiculously expensive and impossible to attain 😫 Don’t get me wrong, I’ll always love my Barbie dolls, but I’d really like to have more guys in my collection, and at a reasonable price (I’m looking at you Ken Couture)🤨 While the outfit looks good on the doll, I also would have expected more flashy details the way Juan’s costumes show online 🙂 But thankfully, this allows for mixing with other pieces since it is so simple 😊 And though her hair is a simple up ponytail, I’ve seen other content creators take her hair down and it’s absolutely gorgeous in the restyles that were done. They didn’t even have to reroot her or anything drastic like that. Just took it down and curled it a bit. Then, BAM 💥 gorgeous ❤ I’m really hoping to get her someday so I can have fun too, styling her and taking some pics of one of my new favorite faces ✨💖✨
@@Ms.D-loves-minis3 I’m glad you love her Ms. D! 😃 Just so you know I got her through Amazon, she’s not a Mattel Creations exclusive. Since she’s a Black Label Barbie, I’m thinking she’ll be restocked very soon. Kinda how Mariah Carey Barbie got sold out pretty quick, but was restocked eventually and now she’s not too rare. I’m sure you’ll get her too soon. 😊 Yeah, I feel your pain. I really want to build up my Ken collection too. But there are so few Ken releases this year and most of them aren’t very good. 😔 I’ve given up on relying on Mattel for good new Ken releases and I’ll probably just get older Ken releases instead. I am so starved for male dolls in my collection, like I am *THIS* close to buying boy dolls from Integrity…but then I remember they cost $300 overall if I factor in shipping costs and taxes, so I quickly shoot down that idea. 😅 And I’m glad you agree with my points here. While I do prefer a Ken, if they’re going to go for a genderbent Barbie, then they need to do it right. It would have been nice if she was in a female Mariachi outfit, but they also didn’t do that here , so that makes me even more frustrated, honestly. 😭 Still though, I do love her. They can dress Odile in a trash bag, and I’ll probably still get her. 😅 And you’re right, the hair actually looks pretty good if you let it down. Personally I’m thinking of getting one that I can boil-wash and customize. But of course, I have to wait until she’s in stock again.
@ I’m looking into the older Ken releases too so I can get some handsome models 😊 and as much as I love the looks of IT male dolls, I doubt I’ll ever get one at those prices either 🫤 I’ll waste money on a lot of things, but I’m just not prepared to spend it on those dolls right now 😑 Not with the way my bank account is set up 😆 Otherwise, I think my collection is starting out pretty good 😌
She is a stunning brunette Odile...
