These dolls are just weird. They have beautiful, detailed fashions and I do like how each has a different kind of mermaid tail than typical mermaid dolls. But their faces, as lovely as the sculpt itself can be, are a little unsettling. Unless the children are big into mermaids, I dont see these appealing to that demographic. I feel like these were definitely trying to reach the adult collector with their faces and detailed clothing pieces. But that color change feature is extremely juvenile and detrimental to the doll's posability. I am extremely confused as to who these were made for. But, I can definitely say not me. However, I can also give the design team at MGA a kudos for giving us a somewhat subversive take on mermaids. Great review, btw. Shellnelle is the best one, indeed. Also, you're very brave for completely submerging Ms Kishiko. I'd be too worried about the delicate fabrics in her outfit. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Jay! I love their faces.. they have a OOAK like face which is cool! However, I wish they were not permanently mermaids.. like I would have loved to see them fully articulated with a fabric mermaid fins that is removable so they can go from “sea to land”.. with a another bottom piece to the outfit (like a skirt or pants) To make them more versatile
I just love all of these dolls, however..........I do understand its a play line but please MGA forget the silly hand bags and make the knee area bendable and the tails removable , gosh I'm going to be hated for saying this, please can you make a blonde, brunette, red head, I know the children love blue and pink hair but I'm getting bored of it now,
Oh I agree! I wish these dolls have more of a natural color, I also wish they made dolls with short hair because not everyone has long hair, also would love a Rainbow high doll that's a red head with short hair with bangs and hazel green eyes, I would also love for them to have glasses, it's kinda sad to see so many dolls without glasses, specifically rounded glasses
I agree that there need to be more red-haired fashion dolls. Looking at MGA specifcally, there are only 2 LOL OMG dolls with red hair in that entire line, very few Rainbow High dolls with natural hair colors, and Mermaze Mermaids hasn't introduced any redheads. I feel bad for red-haired girls who can only find Barbies or other non-MGA dolls who have hair like theirs, while blond and brunette girls have so many MGA dolls to choose from. And with the natural hair colors idea, I want to see MGA make a Rainbow High doll with natural red-orange hair and a brunette who wears brown. I know Brown is considered one of the least interesting colors for clothing, but I dare MGA to make an interesting brunette Rainbow High doll.
@@VeronicaStorm98 Yeah! Also brown isn't that boring at all! Maybe they can make a doll that wears earth tone colors, they can be in the art focus and use natural dyes for paint? And again, it really would be nice if they make dolls with glasses or disabilities!
These were a miss for me unfortunately, I fell in love with Kishiko online and really wanted to turn her bag into a jellyfish that matched her tail. Ironically they got me started on doll collecting with Rainbow High (someone stop me it's become a problem). But when I finally saw her in stores I was under impressed, especially next to RH. I don't get what's with the lack of articulation in the tail...like how are you supposed to pose her? They're still super cute tho, I'm living for Kishiko's outfit + accessories
..... ok so I ended up buying her. In my defense, it's been 7 months, she was discounted to $20, and she's a doll that's been in the back of my mind for a while. I'm still not happy about the lack of articulation but besides that, I'm pretty friggen attached to her. I did turn her bag into a jellyfish (small chains superglued to the bottom + emoji face removed) and I took out her hair horn which were 10/10 ideas. She's become one of my favorite dolls!
I don't like their faces and in Canada they are 44 dollars. Like ouch. Maybe I would get Kishiko if there is a really good sale for her. But this line...is a skip for me. If they get a series 2 and improve on it. I wouldn't mind collecting them.
I'm glad they actually made like a mermaid line where they don't turn into humans and go on land I feel like that's a little overdone like literally every mermaid doll can change into a human sort of thing to some degree so I'm glad they're actual mermaids I just wish the tails were more posable like they could sit and bend their knees at least...
Agreed. I can never have too many varieties of mermaid dolls. But for the price point I expected more articulation in the tail. I will pick some up when there is a good sale.
I personally think Cosheco is the cutest I love her unicorn horn and her cloud purse, it shows her personality is kawaii/ cute, and i love pastels so i teally like cosheco, channel is so pretty, very designer and i absalutely loooove bows, i actually have a thing in my family that has to do with bows like centerys ago, seriously. So Channel and Chosheco are both my 2 different styles, i really like designer looks, and i really like cutesy/kawaii looks, also excuse the bad GRAMMER 🎀🦄
Awww I’m definitely going to try and get one. I wasn’t interested at first until I saw her last week in Target. Now I need one… kinks and all. You actually made the color change look cool. LOL GREAT REVIEW!!!🥰🌟🥰🎞🥰
I like Shellnelle's face and that her hair is down but not a fan of her tail style. It's still a tossup between her and Harmonique for me. I know I'm not gonna be in love with these dolls, every review pretty much lists the same cons, but I'm just anxious to see one in person. I wonder if her head will fit on a petite made-to-move barbie body.
The dolls are beautiful except I hate the tail/fin part on all except for Kishiko. I think she look the best & I ❤ the hair, so creative & pretty to me she looks very ethereal. Her tail also look the most realistic to me out of the others. Just ordered her from Amazon for sale.
Not going to lie I think Kishiko is my favorite she gives me Berry unicorn mermaid vibes color scheme Fair unicorn but her design is very mermaid and her hair looks almost like braiding hair which has a nice soft texture kind of Yaki I love it it's absolutely beautiful😍
I also love that most of them have a medium and or dark complexion makes me feel really represented as a Latino in a doll line I'm so happy with all the representation we are getting now I wish I had it when I was a kid😊😊😊
My Target had 5 of Shenelle, Jordie and Riveria no Harmonique or Kishiko yet. 1 of the Jordies had a bald spot right in front she was the most tempting for me but I couldn’t find one that didn’t have snags in her braids in the front. Also these are priced really high and I don’t feel like we’re getting much like as far as clothes & accessories and definitely lacks on articulation.
Ok this doll is amazing but I'm super excited about rainbow high Pacific coast and shadow high it's coming in spring I can't wait so long I'm sure you will understand I can't wait any longer and they used Paris Hilton in Pacific coast and Paris Hilton doll is coming I'm so excited about it I really can't wait 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Where is jordie and riviera I'm really curious cuz I haven't seen lots of review for jordie and riviera my birthday is close and i think i will get 3 or 2 of them i just don't know who😅
I’m not too sure about this line. I just don’t like their faces. I was trying to figure out what was up with the proportions that were off to me, and I think it’s because the eyes are so far apart and their noses are so small. I also feel like maybe, hear me out, the mermaid tails are lazy? So much of the doll is taken up by the tail, and there aren’t any accessories for them. It just a hunk of plastic. It’s kind of weird to me that their tails are modeled to look like clothes. I get that they’re supposed to be “fashionable” but the fact that it’s plastic it throwing me. Maybe if they added fabric accessories for the tail it would be less weird? Or found a way to switch between human legs? I’m not sure how far they can get with a doll line that are only mermaids. Wow I wrote way too much about a doll line meant for kids lol
Soy de 🇦🇷 y Kishiko y Harmonique me costaron $25.900 cada una, me costó conseguir a Kishiko, siempre estaban todas las demás Mermaze Mermaidz de la primera edición. También voy a comprar las versiones de Winter waves y a Orra y Riviera
They are at Walmart where I live in BC. You can see on the Walmart website if your store has in stock. It’s not always reliable, but it was accurate for my store. At $45, though, I’m going to pass on these. Maybe I will pick one up on sale, but I need more articulation for that price.
okay but can we get a tutorial of sorts of how you restyled your original Riviera?? I've been desperate to figure out how to do waves like that for dolls!
Doll collectors are never happy !!! Theres always something to complain about !! How about bd happy that we finally got beautiful mermaid dolls with detail ect cuz every mermaid doll ive seen up to now have been 💩💩
Am I supposed to alter my opinion because I got the dolls for free? I like the brand and want to see improvements so it lasts long, my input is important just like everyone else’s. That’s how products get better, feedback from their audience.

Even wierder... They aren't supposed to be PLAYED with in the water. Like... Huh?
Hey Jay! I love their faces.. they have a OOAK like face which is cool!

😊👍🏻
A removable tail and a lower human body part would be cool like interchangeable body parts lolol
Nooo !!! That is been there done that they do that with most mermaid dolls and im bored of it i think they killed it with this doll line
I just love all of these dolls, however..........I do understand its a play line but please MGA forget the silly hand bags and make the knee area bendable and the tails removable , gosh I'm going to be hated for saying this, please can you make a blonde, brunette, red head, I know the children love blue and pink hair but I'm getting bored of it now,

When I picked up my JH RH dolls I saw the display for them and it was the pink one,and purple one💅🏼I forgot their names I don’t keep up with ghem
I live in Vegas too. It’s nice because there’s so many targets/Walmarts you’re bound to find any doll that’s short in stock.
The facemold only works with brown eyes...

To me personally they don’t have a lot of collectability, more so for children to play with. Just my humble opinion.
I don't like their faces and in Canada they are 44 dollars. Like ouch. Maybe I would get Kishiko if there is a really good sale for her. But this line...is a skip for me. If they get a series 2 and improve on it. I wouldn't mind collecting them.

Wow das so cool i love blues Hair i Hope i can have time to in the future
👍🏻😊
Kishiko and Shellnelle are my favorites of this line 😍

Beautiful doll i like dolls

Love ur video I am really debating weather to get harmonique first or shellnelle
My Target had 5 of Shenelle, Jordie and Riveria no Harmonique or Kishiko yet. 1 of the Jordies had a bald spot right in front she was the most tempting for me but I couldn’t find one that didn’t have snags in her braids in the front.

Ok this doll is amazing but I'm super excited about rainbow high Pacific coast and shadow high it's coming in spring I can't wait so long I'm sure you will understand
I can't wait any longer and they used Paris Hilton in Pacific coast and Paris Hilton doll is coming I'm so excited about it I really can't wait 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Tengo a Kishiko y Harmonique 💜
Do you have a moxie teenz doll to compare with for the body type?
Are you going to do restyling videos for any if them?
I think they're cute but not worth their price so I'm just going to wait until they go on sale
Where is jordie and riviera I'm really curious cuz I haven't seen lots of review for jordie and riviera my birthday is close and i think i will get 3 or 2 of them i just don't know who😅
I think kishikos hair is like that because she’s supposed to be mixed, therefore they gave her a natural hair color
I believe you meant natural hair texture.
I’m not too sure about this line. I just don’t like their faces. I was trying to figure out what was up with the proportions that were off to me, and I think it’s because the eyes are so far apart and their noses are so small.

Wow I wrote way too much about a doll line meant for kids lol
Why are mermaids wearing clothes, jewelry and handbags? Extra without making sense.
Why are humans wearing anything?
They are cool have them too🌹🤗🤗
Some of they look better than MH collector dolls TBH
Soy de 🇦🇷 y Kishiko y Harmonique me costaron $25.900 cada una, me costó conseguir a Kishiko, siempre estaban todas las demás Mermaze Mermaidz de la primera edición. También voy a comprar las versiones de Winter waves y a Orra y Riviera
Cant wait to find them in Canada Québec 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

i already have Harmonique
Like their faces and concept but the tail is no for me I would prefer some kind of change to legs
I got those same ones
Hi jayyyyyy
Has anyone tried swapping the heads onto an articulated body?
I definitely saw this on Instagram 👍👍👍
I wanted a video of the riviera...
I really wish she didn't have the weird unicorn horn thing. The hairstyle was super cute otherwise.
I don’t like kishikos hair type I made the mistake of letting it down and now it’s always frizzy
i already have harmonique
We never did get that review video in Jordie and Rivera…. :(
I got Nera. She's giving me Wednesday Addams vibes.
I think her jewels are suppose to be sea glass.
Did you know that theirs a Roblox game called monster high school and its monster high and you can dress up as you
Yes! I collaborated with the game maker last summer x)

Hi
The eyes are a big no for me. They look like they are trying to suck the soul out of the world.
Doll collectors are never happy !!! Theres always something to complain about !! How about bd happy that we finally got beautiful mermaid dolls with detail ect cuz every mermaid doll ive seen up to now have been 💩💩
six~6_6
And you get sent dolls from MGA for FREE and all you did was complain about em talk about ungrateful should consider yourself lucky !!
Am I supposed to alter my opinion because I got the dolls for free? I like the brand and want to see improvements so it lasts long, my input is important just like everyone else’s. That’s how products get better, feedback from their audience.
He got sent them to REVIEW. He's supposed to critique them
Hi
