    I completely agree and what I hate the most is that people complain about quality but still buy. If the doll collector community boycotted mattel it would force them to change. They made millions off the movie last year, they have no excuse for what they're putting out.

    Seems like EVERYTHING is dropping quality anymore. Toys suck, food items suck, movies suck, books suck, TV sucks. Its like every industry just decided to stop caring. Maybe its sub par employees, maybe it has to do with money (everything is more expensive these days), maybe they want to see how crap they can make things and drooling idiots still buy it, who knows!

      I love my old Barbies, but then you have to worry about all that toxic nastiness that leeches out of the old bend-and-snap legs. And then in the 2000s, a whole decade of dolls was ruined with glue in the heads, also probably toxic, knowing Mattel.

    Those color reveal "cowgirls" completely miss what people like about the pink pony club and the cowgirl aesthetics. I only want the hat and boots so I can make an actually good pink pony club outfit for one of my mtm Barbies. It's certainly not something I'm willing to pay full price for though. Maybe in a few years I'll be able to find the accessories by themselves for a fair price.
    Even ignoring the continuous drop in quality over the years, a lot of these playline dolls' designs are just atrocious. I'm never going to look back ten years from now and reminisce on their style.
    The new Harley Quinn doll had good design, although a bit pricey, but the Poison Ivy doll was pretty bad. There's so many different shades of green on her and it looks like a mess. For $50, they could have sewn on a few leaves to her suit or something too. Everything looked so cheap about her and I'm not surprised she didn't sell out.

    I can’t understand what’s going on with Barbie
    Some releases seems good and lead to a possible return of the good old days ( Deluxe Style and the Color Change Fairy ) others seems a horrifying downgrade that destroy her legacy and reputation ( the dentist and picnic sets )
    It seems like Mattel only puts effort into specific dolls and lines while everything else is done as cheaply as possible
    I think the fault lies in producing TOO MANY dolls
    If they decreased the number of dolls and releases in general they could really focus on quality
    Few but good

    I'm so happy I am a 90s kid, because my gen's toys were OBJECTIVELY better than the crap they produce now. It's not even nostalgia goggles, but these cheap modern barbies inspire no creativity. They cant even properly pose or have their clothing changed.
    Back then I had some Barbies and I could redress them how I wanted. Barbie could be any character I wanted her to be - that was her magic.
    No wonder kids don't play with toys anymore. It's not the video game industries fault, its the toy industry mostly delivering crap.

    It's all about making money now. In the past, you could buy a doll then you could get fashion packs from any other amount of lines so your doll became like new. Not only did you treasure your dolls, but, you didn't get endless new dolls just to see a new outfit. Your base doll in the 80s or prior had a great outfit to begin with plus there were innovations with the dolls that made you play with them in different ways. Now, fb marketplace is just full full full of these, barely played with cheap dolls claiming to be Barbie with generic to ugly Sims like faces and moulded on clothing or cheap plastic printed on fabric. Mattel knows adults will spend £££ on collector dolls so they are releasing back to back collector dolls like Nanoonoo, the DC ugly dolls, squashed face Odile Gala, that new fashion tribute and very pared down Silkstones with low quality garments and jewellery. Meanwhile they know parents only care about the agendas behind the dolls and that it matches their moral ideas so kids get things that they end up barely playing with then don't want and suddenly you see lots of 30 or more unplayed with dolls that the kids had no vested interest in. Barbie playline needs to be child NOT adult driven. Collecting vtg is a nice idea but unless you live in the US or a flea market heavy part of the EU, you're unlikely to find 60s, 70s, 80s and possibly 90s dolls for a good price esp not with all their stuff. 80s are very played with and often missing items. I wish they'd decide on one face sculpt for the white Barbie like Superstar even if its Odile and build a quality line around that. Why have playline and adult become a thing allowing Mattel to squeeze more money out of collectors and short changing kids on quality. Playline used to BE quality. Poor Barbie.

    I started collecting about 10 years ago. Just buying catalogs worth of dolls from the 80s 90’s and early 2000’s. Might get into 70’s collecting who knows. What I can say definitively is that those dolls are so fun to open. Some of them are quite complex in their design and concept. They had instructions for hairstyling,clothing and accessories.The dolls can be posed. Not to mention that all dolls were poseable. I set up Barbie tableauxs in my art classroom. May always come over to look at the older dolls with fascination. Some tough them and marvel at the bend and click knees and the outfits and comment how they’re much better than Barbies of today. I think the problem that Mattel has besides capitalist greed is that ceo or whoever is not fan of the product. If a leader was hired that believed in the product there could be a relaunch back to thoughtfully designed product. I’ll never spend money on the stuff they put out.

They are going to lose to Temu and Shein. But who am I to speak. I'm going to collect S.I.S. and the others from the early 2000s. Hope they go in another direction.

    I agree with you 100%! I have stopped collecting most of the dolls from Mattel creations because the quality has gone down so much that I feel like I am getting ripped off every time. When I started doing was collecting dolls from the late 90s and early 2000s. The difference is so unreal. For example, I was able to find a Hollywood nails Barbie and I believe I paid Baby $30 for her. Not only did she come fully dressed with a real outfit that was not painted on but it was three separate layers of outfit. None of this printed on some cheap nylon fabric. No her outfit came with this beautifully stretched mesh jumpsuit, then there was this long dress tube top then on top of that was another outfit as well. Where did the good quality go in? This is why I have stopped collecting newer dolls.

    Barbie looks dolls have some of the best dolls. I love the face sculpts, diversity and made to move bodies. The clothes quality is terrible and the fashion packs are bad. Where I live there is only one toy shop now. As a child there was so much Barbie stuff on the shelves, so much accessories, clothing, furniture, different dolls. Now there is hardly any. That means buying online which is usually a marked up price than what you expect to pay in the store.
