It’s been a while since I’ve seen anyone mention this doll line, so I appreciate that someone is finally talking about them again. My phase never really went away, in fact, I still have some of the dolls which I’ve passed down to my younger sibling who is equally as obsessed with Lalaloopsy lol
As a graphic designer - the box is AMAZING package design and more companies really should make their packages more form and functional so there’s less waist and more beneficial for their company long term especially for creating loyal customer bases
@@aromaladyellieThey used to have like an outer shell of plastic for their boxes that slightly resembled a house and then a backdrop on the inside relating to their character, but once they did a whole re release they did this with the boxes!
I love it when the box is fun like the doll. I got a space barbie when I was a kid and the box looked like a space ship, so for a while I used the box as her space ship.
I always liked to think the world of Lalaloopsy was created by a Grandma and her Granddaughter and granny would make the dolls from fabric from her travels
What in the world? That’s adorable 😭 I think I only ever had a single doll and never knew about the show (but swear also having watched a few episodes) but this sounds like it could be SO canon!
@@Roeseii I thought so too! There’s no actual clues that it’s canon, but I ran with this idea when I saw each doll had a special fabric they were stitched with and their stitch day. After that my imagination went on to think about a granny and her granddaughter! I also thought of how the granddaughter was getting older so granny made lalaloopsy girls!
@@SpaceJunk07 That would fit a bit with the lines if you consider the Lala Oopsies line to be sewn from scrap fabrics and/or were from the granddaughter practicing making dolls on her own.
To be honest I thought that too. In my head I thought that the dolls were passed down from grandparent to grandchild and they would tell stories about the adventures they had with their beloved toys
Honestly the clothes thing is debatable. A lot of the dolls ARE named after what they are sewn from. Like Candle Slice O' Cake is sewn from a piece of cake, and Storm E. Cloud is sewn from wisps of a rain cloud. Some don't have that like Jewel Sparkles is sewn from a real princess dress. So her name isn't, well, Princess Dress. And Mittens Fluff N Stuff is sewn from a scarf and not mittens. For some reason.
in my opinion, it wasn't uncommon for doll brands to base dolls on irl cultures/ethnicities back then. the problem with dolls like Mango, Yuki, Feather, & Sahara from lalaloopsy is simply the fact that they are heavily stereotyped. the names and in some cases the designs are stereotypes of their respective cultures/ethnicities. ofc this wasn't done maliciously, and these dolls are still some of my favorites to this day! but it's important to acknowledge how designing dolls/characters like this in the future, could be harmful, and isn't the best way to represent those people irl. 🫶
@@KeatonChandelieryes I agree that the main problem wasn’t the name but the stereotyping in the design. Though maybe the names could’ve been a little more creative? I dunno.
@@KeatonChandelier I know that in Mittens’ original backstory she was supposedly sewn from an Inuk’s scarf (the original word is a slur for Inuit, Inuk is the singular term they prefer). Fortunately, they changed it to a cozy scarf and left it at that
Caroline was always for children. The publisher asked Neil Gaiman if it was because she thought it was too scary. He told her to read it to her daughter and the next day she said 'oh my daughter loved the book. She wouldn't let me put it down.' 10 years later Neil met that daughter at an event or something and thanked her for Saving Coraline, she said 'oh I was terrified out of my ass but I had to know what happened next'
i got my hands on lalaoopsie dolls after coraline came out and me and my sister would base our playtime around coraline and looking back it was HELLA creepy how we'd be sitting in the dark together saying the creepiest shit with those plastic dolls
I recently started collecting Lalaloopsies again, and looking back they were such a great part of my childhood. I loved how different they looked at the time.
It's sad how it gradually became less popular over time. I guess the only good thing about it is that they're on discount in a store that's local to me lol so I don't have to worry about spending too much on the dolls. It is really hard to find the mini ones, where do you usually get yours?
@@IsThisJd I've gotten a few from discount stores, target and walmart, and older ones from swap meets. Secondhand ones are usually very well loved though so I have to fix them up a bit 🥲
I love how Lalaloopsys are so cheap as of now online. No scalpers. One of the best things to collect right now haha! Me myself have started collecting them again too. They were my whole Childhood 😭
at the time literally every doll on the shelf was either a barbie or bratz clone, and then we have lalaloopsy thats so radically different from everything else in the doll isle that they practically flew off the shelves!!! it was beautiful to watch i tell you. i was like 3-5 around the time of lala hysterias peak and i still remember the time when 4 yr old me fought a slightly older girl over a lala doll in a toys r us. pure magic i tell you. and anarchy!
I feel like half the reason I was into Lalaloopsy was because it looked SO similar to LittleBigPlanet. Both worlds being made of every-day objects, the characters being made of cloth, etc. Sackboy needs his royalties. Stat.
@@_Pix_ I honestly should, too. It's the one I replayed most when I was younger tbh. I gotta thank y'all for reminding me how much I still love LBP lol
Dude the Lalaloopsies carried my childhood fr, I swear I had every doll, big, small, babies, minis, pets, I had them all. I watched the movies, the TV show, they were my entire existence. Storm E Sky made me who I am today literally
10:35 As someone who LOVED Lalaloopsy as a kid, I just wanted to let you know that this thing with the packaging dates all the way bavk to the original Minis line. Each doll would come with a few accessories and a little house. (Other sets would usually have some kind of cardboard piece that also enhanced play. For example, I had this one camping set that had a sleeping bag and a grass texture printed on it.)
Never had any of the dolls, but I used to watch the original show SO MUCH as a kid. My favourites were always Pillow, Jewel, and Mittens Edit: Glad there's more of y'all out there! I honestly forgot I left this comment, so this is a suprise
I remember having the movie that was about Pillow and I made my class in 1st grade watch them with me. We had a whole "debate" about it. I used to love Pillow, she was cool.
Was aged out of the demographic when these came out, but I thought they were cute. They're like glamorous and more feminine ragdolls with swappable clothes. They also kinda remind me of home-made dolls I would make to play with. I think child me would have loved mini versions that had the same proportions as the fullsized dolls. I preferred toys that were easy to bring with me.
I was right within the demographic when these came out, but I always preferred those mini versions that came with tiny playsets to the larger dolls (although looking back my parents probably got them as they were more cost effective). I don’t know why I was surprised I would grow up to love musical theatre when I had the mini sized Tippy Tumblelina’s open-air stage playset as a kid!
I was also aged out of the demographic but my niece had them, I always thought they were super adorable. my mom loved them for the reason they look like raggedy Ann. I do wish I didn't miss those high school dolls cause they're right up my alley.
Fun fact, when I was younger I found a lalaloopsie doll in my country not knowing what they were I begged my dad for one, I didn’t know they couldn't stand on there own so when we unpacked it and mine fail over my mum straight up called it a 'Knock Off doll' and it became a running joke when we saw a commercial of them
Lalaloopsy!! I never got why people didn't like them, lol. My earliest memory of halloween is wanting to go as Jewel, but my dad got the baker girl by mistake (I don't remember her name) And I hated it so much that I ended up disliking her as a character lol Looking back it was a good costume, I was just 5 and mad that I didn't get to be my pretty princess girl
OMG I was a Lalaloopsy SUPERFAN as a kid! I loved their designs and the textures of the dolls--They tapped into my love of hand-sewing/arts and crafts and greatly foreshadowed me liking Coraline/Del Toro's Pinocchio when I grew up. My favorites were the minis because they made really good fidget toys for my tiny neurodivergent hands. My favorite doll was Bee Spells-a-Lot because she had blue eyes when every other doll had black ones, so I thought she was special. My older brother would always make fun of me and call them "creepy voodoo dolls" lol. The first movie was my favorite thing when I was little, and I played the two DS games all the time much to his annoyance. ('pIcK mE I cAn HeLp" XD) I have so many good memories with these dolls! Thanks for the blast from the past X)
There was also a doll with green eyes. I forget her name but I think she is a tropical islander girl. I think she has a pet parrot that looks like a pineapple.
You’re so right about the minis. I didn’t have them, but I had the older ones with moving legs and arms. I would take it EVERYWHERE because I liked shaking it and fiddling around with it hehe
I remember finding a Lalalooppsy movie (I think) on RUclips when I was like 12 (I actually don’t remember) where they had to go on a quest to find one of their friends who went missing. I couldn’t really understand what the characters were saying because I wasn’t that good at English back then. Like Negative said mentioned in the video, the movie was named “The search for Pillow”
I had the very tiny ones as a kid. Not the little sisters, but the miniature ones from 2010-2011! I absolutely adored them and their pets. My favorite ones were “Mittens Fluff N Stuff”, “Pillow featherbed”, and “Patch’s Treasure Hunt”
I actually remember the Nick Jr show! I watched it before they got sued it seems, because I remember watching it and really enjoying it because of how they set up the issues within the show. I tried looking them up to watch in the past and never figured out why I could never find them, so thanks for making this! Really nice trip down memory lane
I was obsessed with lalaloopsy from 5th grade to 7th grade. Half of my computer lab time was spent looking at character bios for Lalaloopsy, Monster high and Bratz
I learned Sam Vincent's name yesterday after my brother tried recalling his MLP roles. I was shocked to find out he voiced Flim, shocked yet more that Flim has a last name, and most importantly I've only ever known him as "Hey it's Eli Shane!" From Slugterra
I have always been terrified of dolls thinking they were out to get me, I hated when people game them until one day someone gave me a Lalaloopsy and something snapped in my brain, I don't know why but they don't scare me like the others, they are like, friend shaped.
I loved these as kid, i literally have one of the big ones next to me rn. Me and my friends used to collect the miny versions in elementary school and we'd trade ones we had doubles of.
They're my favorite doll line! I have over thirty of them retired ones and the ones from the relaunch a couple years back. Sucks that they're so underrated.
Thanks for hitting me with nostalgia, i loved lalaloopsy when i was younger. I even downloaded a few episodes of it on my old tablet using a video downloader
Storm E was actually introduced in Lalaloopsy Girls, and it was very random because her sister, Cloud E, had a normal doll but she didn't. It felt odd to have her in the Netflix series but hey she's not that bad.
I LOVED THOSE DOLLS! I use to think they were called Lalalootsies. I had the ds game, a couple of the minis, these really tiny version of the minis, and one fabric doll that came with a couch and a bunny rabbit (I think I also had a movie but I'm not sure if that was real or just a fever dream). I was OBSESSED with them and I loved them dearly. Great video! I had so much Nostalgia from this,
I remember having one of the dolls as a kid, and my favorite ds game was a lalaloopsy game. I found a copy at the thrift store and I’m looking forward to playing it again.
I still have that game! I actually had two - one was the main one I assume you’re talking about where you make everyone gifts and befriend them. The other was a weird circus themed platformer
I had one of the dolls as a kid for the sole purpose of chasing my brother around with it whenever he was rude to me. He had Koumpounophobia/a fear of buttons, and I remember trapping him in a room with my LalaLoopsy while LalaLoopsy(the show) was playing for like an hour because he broke my og Abbey Bominable doll. Sadly though, my mom threw my LalaLoopsy away shortly afterwards
My mom and I were talking about Lalaloopsies yesterday since we had found the mini sets in our basement! We even one of the babies and crazy hair ones. I do miss the older series, but it was fun while it lasted.
I don't remember ever seeing the ads, but I grew up watching the movies on Netflix because I thought the designs were cool, which ended up with me getting a couple of the minis I think? These were one of the few doll-movie things I was into as a child and actually got the dolls for lol
I grew up with the Nick Jr show, the LalaOopsie movie, and I had the one alien girl doll. I didn't like how plasticy it felt. I'm pretty sure we regifted it.
i was literally obsessed with Lalaloopsy and so was my mum. we were better off financially when I was younger, so I had a fair number of big dolls, littles and LIKE EVERY MINI. just a stupid number of minis (i had the tree house :3). it was unfortunate that the series didn't take off until later cause i was just a little too old for the demographic they were appealing to. I wish they committed to the high school fashion doll thing so the content could have aged with me :/. still super love them though
Omg I’ve been wanting you to talk about these dolls. I remember a show which is like a fever dream for me, I remember like only two characters(Bea and Pickles), and I remember watching it on like, Netflix.
I collected so many of the mini's, i loved how you got so many accessories and had whole story lines and big set ups that took forever to put together with how carefully i had to balance some stuff but god was it satisfying
I'm an odd fan for sure. I'm a man who saw the original Lalaloopsy show when I was 18 for the first time and absolutely loved how well-written it was. Forest Evergreen in particular stood out to me, as he's a super positive character who I've seen endure more suffering than most other cartoon characters and still kept his cool. I officially started watching it regularly about 2 years ago, but now Forest is one of my favorite cartoon characters of all time.
I love coraline and I've always thought lalaloopsies were the cutest things, but I don't think I've ever related one to the other until I saw OTHER PEOPLE doing so in the past couple years. these dolls don't even fall into the general "potentially creepy ragdoll" valley for me since they're so bright and heavily themed.
I played with lalaloopsy a lot as a kid. I vividly remember getting a lalaloopsy mini for a secret santa at school, watching the show, and my sister even used it to convince me to watch coraline. I think I even played a game, too. It's really cool to see you decided to do a video on this!
I remember enjoying the cartoon when I was younger. My brain just understood 2011 since it's 2023. That was a long time ago. I was doing something community College stuff at the time so no wonder I thought I was still a kid because of some down time before class started I could watch nickelodeon.
I loved Lalaloopsys as a kid, i loved the dolls, Jewel was always my favorite. I remember having a "collectors guide" book with all the different lalaloopsys it told you how they were "made" in their universe, like Jewel was "stitched using a princess's dress" and other things.
Holy cow. I never made the connection these things were based on a horror concept. I do remember these dolls. Even as a kid I thought they were scary. Once in school we got a creative writing assignment, and I wrote a horror story about them kidnapping people and transforming their victims into new Lalaloopsies. A dad lost his wife and daughter until he found them as Lalaloopsies in the toy store. I'm not kidding.
So, I was actually way too "old" for Lalaloopsy when they first came out, but as an adult collector, I really like them BECAUSE they're kinda creepy. But not in the American Girl Uncanny Valley way, but like in the "if I put a little paint on this it can absolutely blend in with my Halloween décor" kind of creepy.
Lalaloopsy was one of my first big franchise obsessions, and also the gateway franchise to my unending love for all things Coraline! Oh and I guess it also made me start getting into sewing but Coraline is way more important!
Lalaloopsies were LITERALLY my childhood. As an adult toy collector now, I still have like 99% of the ones I collected as a kid. Which is like a hundred or so. Legit, I asked for basically nothing but those mini dolls when I was a kid for holidays, birthdays, etc. I have such fond memories of them (including the commercials, don't sue me lol) and seeing you talk about them was really fun.
I have two of the crazy hair ones but I stopped playing with them after I read that the inside of their head apparently has toxic gas and that made me scared. Now they just sit in my attic.
I had these as a kid!! I remember having other children coming over at my house and calling them creepy. I couldn’t figure out why they were so creeped out by them lmao.
I used to have some which makes no sense for the fact that I used to be scared of Coraline but not of the Lalaloopsy maybe it was the color pallet or the fact that there was no needle spider monster to haunt my dreams.
If i do recall, there were multiple mini movies about Lalaloopsy, one where they had that highschool design, the lala-oopsies had a movie about a story book and the depletion of the strawberry milk ocean, the ponies had a movie about peanut, the circus one, having a penpal, and the babies had a movie where it was all a flashback where they were all talking about their family album. And then there was that one where they staged the cheese moon landing. Memories, amirite?
Growing up the only doll brand I was allowed was lalaloopsy, I still have them, and they’re so so special to me, so when I saw that you made this video I got so excited
I got a lalaloopsie doll after a arm surgery. I was so disappointed about the head being so heavy especially since I was a very clumsy kid and kept hitting my cast with its head 💀
I remember how when my sister was little and she had one of those Lalaloopsy dolls and one day she actually ended up hitting me with it hurt so freaking bad
10:26 in 2017 when the new show came out they released new dolls. These dolls had real nylon hair,no floppy limbs, no sew on cheeks. And did not look like Lalaloopsy. It was stupid and ugly
i loved everything about this franchise when i was a kid. i owned a “search for pillow” dvd, i had a bunch of the minis, i had 13 inch dolls, i had a silly hair doll, i had littles, i had the blind bag toys, i even had 2 ds games. i watched all of the movies as they came out on netflix. gonna be honest, i think youre underestimating the power of a 10 year old kid bc i made those things stand up all the time, it just requires finding the right angle to prop their head against a wall and plant their shoes on the ground. also: the original dolls came out the very same year as mlp fim, so theyre actually entirely unrelated when it comes to character archetypes? which was fun to look into actually. i think its really telling of me that they managed to convince me that my doll was alive and would move while i was asleep, and i still played with her every day. great video tho!! i love seeing you talk about things that formed memories in my brain i didnt know i still had. sorry if this comment made no sense, i am passionate about these things and just wanted to ramble
i agree that the highschool variation was weird and deviated too far from the original idea, i liked lalaloopsy because it was one of the few doll lines where fashion wasn't the main focus (it did play a part but the characters weren't all fashion obsessed like a lot of dolls were), and the characters were a bit younger like i was when i was into them, and then they just kinda went "what if we did the thing everyone else does?" and then yassified the ragdolls lmao also it's so weird they changed dot to just be the smart one who spouts big science words when they already had bea spells-a-lot for that role (i am way too invested in this lol) when i was younger my favorites were mittens (i'm pretty sure just because her hair was blue which was my favorite color at the time lmao) and crumbs, but now i think my favorites would be pillow (she's such a mood), spot and storm e. also there were two characters who were farmers named sunny side up and berry jars n jam and i think either of them could be the equivalent of applejack, and i know way too much about this doll series i haven't thought about in ages lmao
This video legit made me start my collection again. Had them when I was 7 don’t even remember what happened to them but this time I’ll make sure the are loved and cared for.
I always loved the look of them and considered getting them but was so much of the "I'm not like other girls I don't like dolls" with literally everything but Monster High that I never actually bought one
Esperar um tempo de você comprando essas porcarias eu acho que a vida de uma boneca é uma bosta equifort desenho com todos os otários você gosta de bicho de m**** de porcaria
the way I still have my collection of them…the moment I saw the ad as a kid was when I instantly fell in love with them. Out of all the dolls I’ve gotten as a kid and up to now, lalaloopsys holds a special place in my heart. Maybe because some people found them creepy, but I personally always found them cute lol
The dolls were honestly really great, they have so many dolls and there all unique. I collect the mini ones and I have over 100. The little ones have sculpted on clothes but there so pretty, I also love the amount of details on each dolls hair like the Fruit collection where each hair resembles the fruit the dolls represents, or the jewelry collection where their outfits looks like gemstones and they have earrings, and the fairy collection where there each from a different season. It’s actually really sad because the doll community never talks about these dolls, like they talk so much about franchises like Ever After High, Monster High (before g3), Bratts, Winx Dolls, and so many other discontinued doll lines but never Lalaloopsy even though the dolls were adorable, super high quality, and their entire world building is so interesting
hearing you talk about how detailed the lalaloopsy dolls are just makes me actually so happy cus i used to play with these as a kid and i loved them so so much
They didn't end in 2014 they went on a hiatus in 2016 and then the reboot came out, storm E didn't come out in 2017 she was released alongside the lalaloopsy girls dolls, also your comparison of lalaloopsy to my little pony is inaccurate seeing as both lalaloopsy and my little pony friendship is magic were both released it 2010, although most of the video was pretty good plases do your research and maybe talk to some of the fans next time if you cover lalaloopsy again 💕
Oh my God I had a little sister doll and I remember I wpuld treat her like my literal baby. I don't remember which one it was but now I wanna buy one 😅
I definitely had quite a few of the mini dolls but I had a couple of the horses and I LOVED those horses they were so pretty their individual legs all looked different with different textures the soft curly plastic hair was so fun and I could never afford the bigger dolls so the horses were the BEST and one of them was even scented but in a mild way that didn’t overwhelm me I honestly think that if the horses had any articulation they would’ve been the best lalaloopsy line
me and my sisters adored lalaloopsies! we had so many of the dolls, regular and mini, and not to mention other merch like the movies, the video games, bed sheets, and party decorations for our birthdays
Thank you, your esseys are my comfort videos. I have been having a bad month, you're helping me a lot with my anxiety. Love you and hope you're doing well.
I loved LaLaloop dolls. The 13 inch dolls. Loved them. I played with them all the time! I had the pink one, *(The cookie baker chick, with the mouse.)* the blue one, *(The one with the blue pigtails, in winter clothes)* the purple one. *(the one with pigtails, and I think was supposed to be a circus clown)* I treated them like my children. I loved them… Now they are apparently a fashion doll series? They look so goofy… *I’m gonna buy them all-*
I never knew it had so many shows and things! I had a couple of the bigger dolls and a bunch of the little sisters. The weight and grooves in the designs made me so happy, i loved tracing all the swirls. They were just really cute and i loved them, i had the ice cream haired girl first!
I have been waiting so long for a Lalaloopsy video these were my absolute childhood back when I got into them in 2011 I had a copious amount of minis and teenies along with a decent amount of the tall dolls and three of the littles I was always on the defense on them being creepy I just love the creativity they have, their names and wacky designs/names are so fun which got me so hooked to this doll franchise Even though I stopped collecting them in 2015 I went into old unopened boxes not too long ago and decided to fix and display the tall dolls I could find (I have many just can’t find them)…inside my closet though cus I get embarrassed of the idea of people I know irl seeing them in my room
A great tip on how I display mine is I have those grid racks that you can turn into shelves and I have some hooks so that I can put a hair tie around them and put the hook through and hang them up on the wall. It is the only way I have found to successfully display them. No doll stand works that I can find that they don’t flop over because they’re so top-heavy.
I love lalaloopsy minies so much, I still have a bunch of them. And yeah, I got first as depressed adult with a job. They made me smile so I went "what the hell, I can pretend bying it for a gift or something"
also recently I was checking my pokemon gacha toys and had to get some lalalopsies out because of the way they still make me happy somehow? expecially two different icecream girls
I loved the tiny ones! I had a large one but the head was so big and top heavy and I also had always loved anything small. I had a couple of little lalaloopsies and they were so fun to play with. I remember having Dollop, Bea, and a few others.
I loved lalaloopsy, I must've watched all the shows and movies at least 3 or 4 times each. I only ever had two of the minis, one with magenta hair and a yellow dress and a halloween themed one. Me and my sister did really enjoy playing with those minis those, and seeing how solidly made the dolls are, actually makes me want to get one. I'm really glad you covered it though, because I haven't been able to find a lot of lalaloopsy content nowadays
i loved lalaloopsy as a kid!! ridiculous how expensive they were, but they sure carried me through my childhood. i got so many of them for birthdays and holidays, they still fill up a whole bin. as someone who is japanese-mixed, seeing yuki made me so happy!! i had both her big doll and her mini, and i felt pretty represented!! i watched the shows on nick jr, bought the lala-oopsies movie, watched the webisodes, and played the flash games online RELIGIOUSLY. i miss that time in my life :]
Never saw coraline when I was a kid, but I defi watched episodes of Lalaloopsie and really love their designs still. They're just so cute to me and the ragdoll theme just adds a charm I adore
I loved these so much when I was a kid I had like 7 of the full sized ones and a whole bunch of the minis that was until I watched coraline…. I threw them all in the shed the next day
I remember having these dolls as a kid, I even had the little sisters and Lala-Oopsie’s haha these were great dolls and I adored them! I remember tho I really wanted spot splatter splash but never got to get her 😆
As the strange five year old I was I watched coraline when it came out and loved it so fews years later when the lalaloopsies hit shelves I had to get one and I still have a small collection to this day
This video unlocked a core memory of my childhood. I remember watching the show and my parents even got a lalaloopsy doll for us. Though I think it was donated when my sisters and I were starting to get older. I also remember getting a nintendo game based on the dolls too (either 3ds or 2ds), and it was a really fun game though a little bit frustrating. When looking back at the dolls again, I don't find them creepy, their ragdolly look is very pleasing to me. Though, I can't speak for everyone of course. I forgot lalaloopsy existed until I found this video on my fyp lol.

why is this 10 days ago when the video was just posted
anyways i used to love and have a lot of these dolls so i’m happy you’re talking about them :))
Hi ^^
It’s been a while since I’ve seen anyone mention this doll line, so I appreciate that someone is finally talking about them again. My phase never really went away, in fact, I still have some of the dolls which I’ve passed down to my younger sibling who is equally as obsessed with Lalaloopsy lol
I love Molly so much! She is so pretty! I'm also allergic to cats but still have three
I use to love these dolls as a kid and i still have them.
Sameeee
I've never owned one, but they still have a special place in my heart
Same!
I should’ve never gotten rid of mine… Lol-
I remember having the alien loopsy with her little pet and saucer too.... I think she was a mini but I know she was not full size
As a graphic designer - the box is AMAZING package design and more companies really should make their packages more form and functional so there’s less waist and more beneficial for their company long term especially for creating loyal customer bases
Which is surprising since iirc LaLaLoopsies were originally criticised I think for excessive plastic waste, weren't they? Or was it another doll?
@@aromaladyellieThey used to have like an outer shell of plastic for their boxes that slightly resembled a house and then a backdrop on the inside relating to their character, but once they did a whole re release they did this with the boxes!
I love it when the box is fun like the doll. I got a space barbie when I was a kid and the box looked like a space ship, so for a while I used the box as her space ship.
I always liked to think the world of Lalaloopsy was created by a Grandma and her Granddaughter and granny would make the dolls from fabric from her travels
Weirdly I thought of the same thing 😅
What in the world? That’s adorable 😭 I think I only ever had a single doll and never knew about the show (but swear also having watched a few episodes) but this sounds like it could be SO canon!
@@Roeseii I thought so too! There’s no actual clues that it’s canon, but I ran with this idea when I saw each doll had a special fabric they were stitched with and their stitch day. After that my imagination went on to think about a granny and her granddaughter! I also thought of how the granddaughter was getting older so granny made lalaloopsy girls!
@@SpaceJunk07 That would fit a bit with the lines if you consider the Lala Oopsies line to be sewn from scrap fabrics and/or were from the granddaughter practicing making dolls on her own.
To be honest I thought that too. In my head I thought that the dolls were passed down from grandparent to grandchild and they would tell stories about the adventures they had with their beloved toys
Honestly the clothes thing is debatable. A lot of the dolls ARE named after what they are sewn from. Like Candle Slice O' Cake is sewn from a piece of cake, and Storm E. Cloud is sewn from wisps of a rain cloud. Some don't have that like Jewel Sparkles is sewn from a real princess dress. So her name isn't, well, Princess Dress. And Mittens Fluff N Stuff is sewn from a scarf and not mittens. For some reason.
in my opinion, it wasn't uncommon for doll brands to base dolls on irl cultures/ethnicities back then. the problem with dolls like Mango, Yuki, Feather, & Sahara from lalaloopsy is simply the fact that they are heavily stereotyped. the names and in some cases the designs are stereotypes of their respective cultures/ethnicities. ofc this wasn't done maliciously, and these dolls are still some of my favorites to this day! but it's important to acknowledge how designing dolls/characters like this in the future, could be harmful, and isn't the best way to represent those people irl. 🫶
I mean they could have named Jewel Sparkles Princess Glitter deGown and it would have been fine imo.
@@KeatonChandelieryes I agree that the main problem wasn’t the name but the stereotyping in the design. Though maybe the names could’ve been a little more creative? I dunno.
@@KeatonChandelier I know that in Mittens’ original backstory she was supposedly sewn from an Inuk’s scarf (the original word is a slur for Inuit, Inuk is the singular term they prefer). Fortunately, they changed it to a cozy scarf and left it at that
Caroline was always for children. The publisher asked Neil Gaiman if it was because she thought it was too scary. He told her to read it to her daughter and the next day she said 'oh my daughter loved the book. She wouldn't let me put it down.'
10 years later Neil met that daughter at an event or something and thanked her for Saving Coraline, she said 'oh I was terrified out of my ass but I had to know what happened next'
Coraline was my introduction to horror at about 8 years old- I now love all things scary and dark :)
i think thats what he meant... had the kid told the truth, the book wouldn't have been made as a book for children.
@@lithiumkidit was written for children whether or not it would be allowed to be published as a book for children
i got my hands on lalaoopsie dolls after coraline came out and me and my sister would base our playtime around coraline and looking back it was HELLA creepy how we'd be sitting in the dark together saying the creepiest shit with those plastic dolls
@@dancinganimals. i'm just explaining what Negative Legend probably meant.
I recently started collecting Lalaloopsies again, and looking back they were such a great part of my childhood. I loved how different they looked at the time.
It's sad how it gradually became less popular over time. I guess the only good thing about it is that they're on discount in a store that's local to me lol so I don't have to worry about spending too much on the dolls. It is really hard to find the mini ones, where do you usually get yours?
@@IsThisJd I've gotten a few from discount stores, target and walmart, and older ones from swap meets. Secondhand ones are usually very well loved though so I have to fix them up a bit 🥲
I love how Lalaloopsys are so cheap as of now online. No scalpers. One of the best things to collect right now haha! Me myself have started collecting them again too. They were my whole Childhood 😭
@@LongLighti had completely forgotten about them until I found this video! And because of that, I found my old dolls in the attic :]
at the time literally every doll on the shelf was either a barbie or bratz clone, and then we have lalaloopsy thats so radically different from everything else in the doll isle that they practically flew off the shelves!!! it was beautiful to watch i tell you. i was like 3-5 around the time of lala hysterias peak and i still remember the time when 4 yr old me fought a slightly older girl over a lala doll in a toys r us. pure magic i tell you. and anarchy!
I enjoyed watching the cartoon as a child, strangely the buttons didn't freak me out although I had nightmares about Coraline.
SAME
I was the same, except I loved coralline. Now-a-days I can’t watch it anymore though-
Yessss I actually thought the buttons were very cute
Me too when I used to watch the show. I was scared of the buttons in Coraline, but not in Lalaloopsy. Maybe it's the different aesthetic and tone 😅
Same!!! Coralline freaked me out but I watched EVERYTHING Lalaloopsie that I could find and loved it
I feel like half the reason I was into Lalaloopsy was because it looked SO similar to LittleBigPlanet. Both worlds being made of every-day objects, the characters being made of cloth, etc.
Sackboy needs his royalties. Stat.
YES!! This was it exactly, I always loved little big planet!
@@_Pix_ I knew someone would get it! From one LBP fan to another!
WAIT YOURE RIGHT- THE VIBES OF THEIR WORLDS ARE SOOO SIMILAR 💀
@@tymeforspiace7705 was actually thinking about replaying the third one recently :D
@@_Pix_ I honestly should, too. It's the one I replayed most when I was younger tbh.
I gotta thank y'all for reminding me how much I still love LBP lol
Dude the Lalaloopsies carried my childhood fr, I swear I had every doll, big, small, babies, minis, pets, I had them all. I watched the movies, the TV show, they were my entire existence. Storm E Sky made me who I am today literally
same here😭
10:35 As someone who LOVED Lalaloopsy as a kid, I just wanted to let you know that this thing with the packaging dates all the way bavk to the original Minis line. Each doll would come with a few accessories and a little house. (Other sets would usually have some kind of cardboard piece that also enhanced play. For example, I had this one camping set that had a sleeping bag and a grass texture printed on it.)
ME TOO! Forest Evergreen was my favorite 🤩
Never had any of the dolls, but I used to watch the original show SO MUCH as a kid. My favourites were always Pillow, Jewel, and Mittens
Edit: Glad there's more of y'all out there! I honestly forgot I left this comment, so this is a suprise
I loved the animated series!
Something I found cute was that the backgrounds had photo cut outs. It almost had a scrapbook feel to it.
Pillow was my absolute favorite. I even remember having a plush of her that came with a blanket.
SAME, i was obsessed over them as kid
I was never a fan of the show, the movies are where my nostalgia lie.
I remember having the movie that was about Pillow and I made my class in 1st grade watch them with me. We had a whole "debate" about it. I used to love Pillow, she was cool.
I always thought Lalaloopsy was adorable. Even if it was creepy. It had that right vibe to me.
Was aged out of the demographic when these came out, but I thought they were cute. They're like glamorous and more feminine ragdolls with swappable clothes. They also kinda remind me of home-made dolls I would make to play with. I think child me would have loved mini versions that had the same proportions as the fullsized dolls. I preferred toys that were easy to bring with me.
I was right within the demographic when these came out, but I always preferred those mini versions that came with tiny playsets to the larger dolls (although looking back my parents probably got them as they were more cost effective). I don’t know why I was surprised I would grow up to love musical theatre when I had the mini sized Tippy Tumblelina’s open-air stage playset as a kid!
I was also aged out of the demographic but my niece had them, I always thought they were super adorable. my mom loved them for the reason they look like raggedy Ann. I do wish I didn't miss those high school dolls cause they're right up my alley.
Fun fact, when I was younger I found a lalaloopsie doll in my country not knowing what they were I begged my dad for one, I didn’t know they couldn't stand on there own so when we unpacked it and mine fail over my mum straight up called it a 'Knock Off doll' and it became a running joke when we saw a commercial of them
Lalaloopsy!! I never got why people didn't like them, lol. My earliest memory of halloween is wanting to go as Jewel, but my dad got the baker girl by mistake (I don't remember her name) And I hated it so much that I ended up disliking her as a character lol
Looking back it was a good costume, I was just 5 and mad that I didn't get to be my pretty princess girl
I believe you mean Crumbs Sugar Cookie.
@@HerbertEnterprises Yup!! She's very cute and pretty, I don't hold a violent grudge against her anymore, lol
@@Zbot8577_ Great lol, I honestly love her, she's just- _chefs kiss_
@@HerbertEnterprises her and pinkie pie would be best buds if they ever met tbh
Yo the opposite happened to me I wanted to dress as Crumbs for my birthday but my mom already went and got a jewel dress
OMG I was a Lalaloopsy SUPERFAN as a kid! I loved their designs and the textures of the dolls--They tapped into my love of hand-sewing/arts and crafts and greatly foreshadowed me liking Coraline/Del Toro's Pinocchio when I grew up. My favorites were the minis because they made really good fidget toys for my tiny neurodivergent hands. My favorite doll was Bee Spells-a-Lot because she had blue eyes when every other doll had black ones, so I thought she was special. My older brother would always make fun of me and call them "creepy voodoo dolls" lol. The first movie was my favorite thing when I was little, and I played the two DS games all the time much to his annoyance. ('pIcK mE I cAn HeLp" XD)
I have so many good memories with these dolls! Thanks for the blast from the past X)
There was also a doll with green eyes. I forget her name but I think she is a tropical islander girl. I think she has a pet parrot that looks like a pineapple.
@@samanthajade0024 I remember that one! I liked her too, for her green eyes of course. I had the mini version of her.
You’re so right about the minis. I didn’t have them, but I had the older ones with moving legs and arms. I would take it EVERYWHERE because I liked shaking it and fiddling around with it hehe
I remember finding a Lalalooppsy movie (I think) on RUclips when I was like 12 (I actually don’t remember) where they had to go on a quest to find one of their friends who went missing. I couldn’t really understand what the characters were saying because I wasn’t that good at English back then.
Like Negative said mentioned in the video, the movie was named “The search for Pillow”
Oh my god I loved that movie!! I used to watch it all the time!
I HAD THAT MOVIE ON DVD LOLLL j was a huuuge fan ive watched it so many times jts unreal
THE SEARCH FOR PILLOW! i actually have that movie on dvd
I had the very tiny ones as a kid. Not the little sisters, but the miniature ones from 2010-2011! I absolutely adored them and their pets.
My favorite ones were “Mittens Fluff N Stuff”, “Pillow featherbed”, and “Patch’s Treasure Hunt”
I actually remember the Nick Jr show! I watched it before they got sued it seems, because I remember watching it and really enjoying it because of how they set up the issues within the show. I tried looking them up to watch in the past and never figured out why I could never find them, so thanks for making this! Really nice trip down memory lane
I was obsessed with lalaloopsy from 5th grade to 7th grade. Half of my computer lab time was spent looking at character bios for Lalaloopsy, Monster high and Bratz
I learned Sam Vincent's name yesterday after my brother tried recalling his MLP roles. I was shocked to find out he voiced Flim, shocked yet more that Flim has a last name, and most importantly I've only ever known him as "Hey it's Eli Shane!" From Slugterra
FLIM HAS A LAST NAME????
I have always been terrified of dolls thinking they were out to get me, I hated when people game them until one day someone gave me a Lalaloopsy and something snapped in my brain, I don't know why but they don't scare me like the others, they are like, friend shaped.
I loved these as kid, i literally have one of the big ones next to me rn. Me and my friends used to collect the miny versions in elementary school and we'd trade ones we had doubles of.
They're my favorite doll line! I have over thirty of them retired ones and the ones from the relaunch a couple years back. Sucks that they're so underrated.
Thanks for hitting me with nostalgia, i loved lalaloopsy when i was younger. I even downloaded a few episodes of it on my old tablet using a video downloader
Storm E was actually introduced in Lalaloopsy Girls, and it was very random because her sister, Cloud E, had a normal doll but she didn't. It felt odd to have her in the Netflix series but hey she's not that bad.
I LOVED THOSE DOLLS! I use to think they were called Lalalootsies. I had the ds game, a couple of the minis, these really tiny version of the minis, and one fabric doll that came with a couch and a bunny rabbit (I think I also had a movie but I'm not sure if that was real or just a fever dream). I was OBSESSED with them and I loved them dearly. Great video! I had so much Nostalgia from this,
OK SO THERE WERE MOVIES, you brought them up. I had the magical tale one. Loved that movie. I have no clue what happened in it at all.
I remember having one of the dolls as a kid, and my favorite ds game was a lalaloopsy game. I found a copy at the thrift store and I’m looking forward to playing it again.
Vermes aplicativo meu deputado do meu nome
Omg, glad you mentioned the ds game, cause I emulated it and played it, it's kind of fun!
I still have that game! I actually had two - one was the main one I assume you’re talking about where you make everyone gifts and befriend them. The other was a weird circus themed platformer
Every time I see those button eyes of the Lalaloopsie dolls, this reminds me of the The Beldam/Other Mother from _Coraline_ movie.
I remember I got into Lala Loopsies only after watching Coraline. The somewhat creepy look was what drew me to them
I had one of the dolls as a kid for the sole purpose of chasing my brother around with it whenever he was rude to me. He had Koumpounophobia/a fear of buttons, and I remember trapping him in a room with my LalaLoopsy while LalaLoopsy(the show) was playing for like an hour because he broke my og Abbey Bominable doll. Sadly though, my mom threw my LalaLoopsy away shortly afterwards
😟
I had a Alice in wonderland lalaloopsey and some girl called it creepy. Still brings back a lot of nostalgia
My mom and I were talking about Lalaloopsies yesterday since we had found the mini sets in our basement! We even one of the babies and crazy hair ones. I do miss the older series, but it was fun while it lasted.
I don't remember ever seeing the ads, but I grew up watching the movies on Netflix because I thought the designs were cool, which ended up with me getting a couple of the minis I think? These were one of the few doll-movie things I was into as a child and actually got the dolls for lol
I grew up with the Nick Jr show, the LalaOopsie movie, and I had the one alien girl doll. I didn't like how plasticy it felt. I'm pretty sure we regifted it.
As someone who has more tinies than the actual dolls and minis, that speaks volumes
When I was a child I was terrified of these dolls, because I had just seen coraline and that movie scared me as a kid.
i was literally obsessed with Lalaloopsy and so was my mum. we were better off financially when I was younger, so I had a fair number of big dolls, littles and LIKE EVERY MINI. just a stupid number of minis (i had the tree house :3). it was unfortunate that the series didn't take off until later cause i was just a little too old for the demographic they were appealing to. I wish they committed to the high school fashion doll thing so the content could have aged with me :/. still super love them though
Omg I’ve been wanting you to talk about these dolls.
I remember a show which is like a fever dream for me, I remember like only two characters(Bea and Pickles), and I remember watching it on like, Netflix.
Why don’t anyone talk about them like they do with monster high or bratz?
@@oliviaurquizu8897 idk, they need to
I wish you'd talked about Lalaloopsy Diaper Surprise, the baby toys that shat out plastic charms when you gave them water
Sounds Better than other baby toys I’ve seen
Omg, I’m pretty sure I had one of those when I was a kid. 💀
I collected so many of the mini's, i loved how you got so many accessories and had whole story lines and big set ups that took forever to put together with how carefully i had to balance some stuff but god was it satisfying
I wanted these as a kid for YEARS but I was always too embarrassed to ask for toys. Thanks for bringing back that nostalgia!
I'm an odd fan for sure. I'm a man who saw the original Lalaloopsy show when I was 18 for the first time and absolutely loved how well-written it was. Forest Evergreen in particular stood out to me, as he's a super positive character who I've seen endure more suffering than most other cartoon characters and still kept his cool. I officially started watching it regularly about 2 years ago, but now Forest is one of my favorite cartoon characters of all time.
OMG, I remember I met you on Lalaloopsy Amino
@@taffy8186 I am Night Cap. Remember that? 😎
@@lordkinesis4432Yes, you were obsessed with Forest Evergreen character
@@taffy8186 What do you mean "were?" I still am! XD
I love coraline and I've always thought lalaloopsies were the cutest things, but I don't think I've ever related one to the other until I saw OTHER PEOPLE doing so in the past couple years. these dolls don't even fall into the general "potentially creepy ragdoll" valley for me since they're so bright and heavily themed.
I played with lalaloopsy a lot as a kid. I vividly remember getting a lalaloopsy mini for a secret santa at school, watching the show, and my sister even used it to convince me to watch coraline. I think I even played a game, too. It's really cool to see you decided to do a video on this!
I remember enjoying the cartoon when I was younger. My brain just understood 2011 since it's 2023. That was a long time ago. I was doing something community College stuff at the time so no wonder I thought I was still a kid because of some down time before class started I could watch nickelodeon.
I was OBSESSED with this doll line as a child. I’m 90% sure I had almost every doll and play set at one point.
I loved Lalaloopsys as a kid, i loved the dolls, Jewel was always my favorite. I remember having a "collectors guide" book with all the different lalaloopsys it told you how they were "made" in their universe, like Jewel was "stitched using a princess's dress" and other things.
Hadn't had a doll till last year, but I was OBSESSED with the movie where they were babies as a kid
Holy cow. I never made the connection these things were based on a horror concept. I do remember these dolls. Even as a kid I thought they were scary. Once in school we got a creative writing assignment, and I wrote a horror story about them kidnapping people and transforming their victims into new Lalaloopsies. A dad lost his wife and daughter until he found them as Lalaloopsies in the toy store. I'm not kidding.
So, I was actually way too "old" for Lalaloopsy when they first came out, but as an adult collector, I really like them BECAUSE they're kinda creepy. But not in the American Girl Uncanny Valley way, but like in the "if I put a little paint on this it can absolutely blend in with my Halloween décor" kind of creepy.
Lalaloopsy was one of my first big franchise obsessions, and also the gateway franchise to my unending love for all things Coraline! Oh and I guess it also made me start getting into sewing but Coraline is way more important!
I remember seeing these toys on adverts when I was young, but never got one myself.
It's funny you brought up something so accurate to my life. These dolls creeped the crap out of me,all I could think of was Coraline
Lalaloopsies were LITERALLY my childhood. As an adult toy collector now, I still have like 99% of the ones I collected as a kid. Which is like a hundred or so. Legit, I asked for basically nothing but those mini dolls when I was a kid for holidays, birthdays, etc. I have such fond memories of them (including the commercials, don't sue me lol) and seeing you talk about them was really fun.
I always wanted one cause they were why i got really into ragdolls and the whole aesthetic of them.
Lalaloopsy Girls was essentially MGA's attempt at Equestria Girls.
I have two of the crazy hair ones but I stopped playing with them after I read that the inside of their head apparently has toxic gas and that made me scared. Now they just sit in my attic.
I had these as a kid!! I remember having other children coming over at my house and calling them creepy. I couldn’t figure out why they were so creeped out by them lmao.
saw lalaloopsy in the title and clicked immediately ^__^
I used to have some which makes no sense for the fact that I used to be scared of Coraline but not of the Lalaloopsy maybe it was the color pallet or the fact that there was no needle spider monster to haunt my dreams.
If i do recall, there were multiple mini movies about Lalaloopsy, one where they had that highschool design, the lala-oopsies had a movie about a story book and the depletion of the strawberry milk ocean, the ponies had a movie about peanut, the circus one, having a penpal, and the babies had a movie where it was all a flashback where they were all talking about their family album.
And then there was that one where they staged the cheese moon landing.
Memories, amirite?
Growing up the only doll brand I was allowed was lalaloopsy, I still have them, and they’re so so special to me, so when I saw that you made this video I got so excited
I got a lalaloopsie doll after a arm surgery. I was so disappointed about the head being so heavy especially since I was a very clumsy kid and kept hitting my cast with its head 💀
I remember how when my sister was little and she had one of those Lalaloopsy dolls and one day she actually ended up hitting me with it hurt so freaking bad
Can we all stop and appreciate how NegativeLegend looks amazing in this video, like their hair is so pretty???
I'm starting to see lalaloopsies in stores again and it feels like I've gone back in time to my childhood every time I do
10:26 in 2017 when the new show came out they released new dolls. These dolls had real nylon hair,no floppy limbs, no sew on cheeks. And did not look like Lalaloopsy. It was stupid and ugly
i loved everything about this franchise when i was a kid. i owned a “search for pillow” dvd, i had a bunch of the minis, i had 13 inch dolls, i had a silly hair doll, i had littles, i had the blind bag toys, i even had 2 ds games. i watched all of the movies as they came out on netflix. gonna be honest, i think youre underestimating the power of a 10 year old kid bc i made those things stand up all the time, it just requires finding the right angle to prop their head against a wall and plant their shoes on the ground. also: the original dolls came out the very same year as mlp fim, so theyre actually entirely unrelated when it comes to character archetypes? which was fun to look into actually. i think its really telling of me that they managed to convince me that my doll was alive and would move while i was asleep, and i still played with her every day. great video tho!! i love seeing you talk about things that formed memories in my brain i didnt know i still had. sorry if this comment made no sense, i am passionate about these things and just wanted to ramble
i agree that the highschool variation was weird and deviated too far from the original idea, i liked lalaloopsy because it was one of the few doll lines where fashion wasn't the main focus (it did play a part but the characters weren't all fashion obsessed like a lot of dolls were), and the characters were a bit younger like i was when i was into them, and then they just kinda went "what if we did the thing everyone else does?" and then yassified the ragdolls lmao
also it's so weird they changed dot to just be the smart one who spouts big science words when they already had bea spells-a-lot for that role (i am way too invested in this lol)
when i was younger my favorites were mittens (i'm pretty sure just because her hair was blue which was my favorite color at the time lmao) and crumbs, but now i think my favorites would be pillow (she's such a mood), spot and storm e.
also there were two characters who were farmers named sunny side up and berry jars n jam and i think either of them could be the equivalent of applejack, and i know way too much about this doll series i haven't thought about in ages lmao
This video legit made me start my collection again. Had them when I was 7 don’t even remember what happened to them but this time I’ll make sure the are loved and cared for.
I always loved the look of them and considered getting them but was so much of the "I'm not like other girls I don't like dolls" with literally everything but Monster High that I never actually bought one
Esperar um tempo de você comprando essas porcarias eu acho que a vida de uma boneca é uma bosta equifort desenho com todos os otários você gosta de bicho de m**** de porcaria
the way I still have my collection of them…the moment I saw the ad as a kid was when I instantly fell in love with them. Out of all the dolls I’ve gotten as a kid and up to now, lalaloopsys holds a special place in my heart. Maybe because some people found them creepy, but I personally always found them cute lol
The dolls were honestly really great, they have so many dolls and there all unique. I collect the mini ones and I have over 100. The little ones have sculpted on clothes but there so pretty, I also love the amount of details on each dolls hair like the Fruit collection where each hair resembles the fruit the dolls represents, or the jewelry collection where their outfits looks like gemstones and they have earrings, and the fairy collection where there each from a different season. It’s actually really sad because the doll community never talks about these dolls, like they talk so much about franchises like Ever After High, Monster High (before g3), Bratts, Winx Dolls, and so many other discontinued doll lines but never Lalaloopsy even though the dolls were adorable, super high quality, and their entire world building is so interesting
hearing you talk about how detailed the lalaloopsy dolls are just makes me actually so happy cus i used to play with these as a kid and i loved them so so much
They didn't end in 2014 they went on a hiatus in 2016 and then the reboot came out, storm E didn't come out in 2017 she was released alongside the lalaloopsy girls dolls, also your comparison of lalaloopsy to my little pony is inaccurate seeing as both lalaloopsy and my little pony friendship is magic were both released it 2010, although most of the video was pretty good plases do your research and maybe talk to some of the fans next time if you cover lalaloopsy again 💕
I still remember the day they bought me my first, and only, Lalalopsy doll. Mittens fluff 'N stuff 5:31. I still have her, and i still love her
I remember being OBSESSED with this show. And I sometimes randomly thought about it,and am happy someone finally made a vid about it
Oh my God I had a little sister doll and I remember I wpuld treat her like my literal baby. I don't remember which one it was but now I wanna buy one 😅
I definitely had quite a few of the mini dolls but I had a couple of the horses and I LOVED those horses they were so pretty their individual legs all looked different with different textures the soft curly plastic hair was so fun and I could never afford the bigger dolls so the horses were the BEST and one of them was even scented but in a mild way that didn’t overwhelm me I honestly think that if the horses had any articulation they would’ve been the best lalaloopsy line
I even loved the mini ponies too but that might’ve just been because I was a hardcore mlp fan as a kid
me and my sisters adored lalaloopsies! we had so many of the dolls, regular and mini, and not to mention other merch like the movies, the video games, bed sheets, and party decorations for our birthdays
OH MY GOD A LALALOOPSY DEEP DIVE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MY WHOLE LIFE
Edit: though I was always a fan of the movies more than the dolls tbh
Thank you, your esseys are my comfort videos. I have been having a bad month, you're helping me a lot with my anxiety. Love you and hope you're doing well.
I loved LaLaloop dolls. The 13 inch dolls. Loved them. I played with them all the time! I had the pink one, *(The cookie baker chick, with the mouse.)* the blue one, *(The one with the blue pigtails, in winter clothes)* the purple one. *(the one with pigtails, and I think was supposed to be a circus clown)*
I treated them like my children. I loved them… Now they are apparently a fashion doll series? They look so goofy… *I’m gonna buy them all-*
I never knew it had so many shows and things! I had a couple of the bigger dolls and a bunch of the little sisters. The weight and grooves in the designs made me so happy, i loved tracing all the swirls. They were just really cute and i loved them, i had the ice cream haired girl first!
I have been waiting so long for a Lalaloopsy video these were my absolute childhood back when I got into them in 2011 I had a copious amount of minis and teenies along with a decent amount of the tall dolls and three of the littles
I was always on the defense on them being creepy I just love the creativity they have, their names and wacky designs/names are so fun which got me so hooked to this doll franchise
Even though I stopped collecting them in 2015 I went into old unopened boxes not too long ago and decided to fix and display the tall dolls I could find (I have many just can’t find them)…inside my closet though cus I get embarrassed of the idea of people I know irl seeing them in my room
Loving the cat break!! Also, me and my sister had a Loopsie, this gives me SO MUCH nostalgia!
A great tip on how I display mine is I have those grid racks that you can turn into shelves and I have some hooks so that I can put a hair tie around them and put the hook through and hang them up on the wall. It is the only way I have found to successfully display them. No doll stand works that I can find that they don’t flop over because they’re so top-heavy.
I was literally watching a sew magical tale yesterday this timing is perfect
I love lalaloopsy minies so much, I still have a bunch of them. And yeah, I got first as depressed adult with a job. They made me smile so I went "what the hell, I can pretend bying it for a gift or something"
also recently I was checking my pokemon gacha toys and had to get some lalalopsies out because of the way they still make me happy somehow? expecially two different icecream girls
I loved the tiny ones! I had a large one but the head was so big and top heavy and I also had always loved anything small. I had a couple of little lalaloopsies and they were so fun to play with. I remember having Dollop, Bea, and a few others.
I loved lalaloopsy, I must've watched all the shows and movies at least 3 or 4 times each. I only ever had two of the minis, one with magenta hair and a yellow dress and a halloween themed one. Me and my sister did really enjoy playing with those minis those, and seeing how solidly made the dolls are, actually makes me want to get one. I'm really glad you covered it though, because I haven't been able to find a lot of lalaloopsy content nowadays
i loved lalaloopsy as a kid!! ridiculous how expensive they were, but they sure carried me through my childhood. i got so many of them for birthdays and holidays, they still fill up a whole bin. as someone who is japanese-mixed, seeing yuki made me so happy!! i had both her big doll and her mini, and i felt pretty represented!!
i watched the shows on nick jr, bought the lala-oopsies movie, watched the webisodes, and played the flash games online RELIGIOUSLY. i miss that time in my life :]
Never saw coraline when I was a kid, but I defi watched episodes of Lalaloopsie and really love their designs still. They're just so cute to me and the ragdoll theme just adds a charm I adore
I loved these so much when I was a kid I had like 7 of the full sized ones and a whole bunch of the minis that was until I watched coraline…. I threw them all in the shed the next day
I remember having these dolls as a kid, I even had the little sisters and Lala-Oopsie’s haha these were great dolls and I adored them! I remember tho I really wanted spot splatter splash but never got to get her 😆
As the strange five year old I was I watched coraline when it came out and loved it so fews years later when the lalaloopsies hit shelves I had to get one and I still have a small collection to this day
This video unlocked a core memory of my childhood. I remember watching the show and my parents even got a lalaloopsy doll for us. Though I think it was donated when my sisters and I were starting to get older. I also remember getting a nintendo game based on the dolls too (either 3ds or 2ds), and it was a really fun game though a little bit frustrating. When looking back at the dolls again, I don't find them creepy, their ragdolly look is very pleasing to me. Though, I can't speak for everyone of course. I forgot lalaloopsy existed until I found this video on my fyp lol.
I ADORED lalaloopsys as a kid and the fashion doll adaptation is something I like l much more now
