My grandmother collected Barbie dolls, I have them displayed high up on a shelf and they're the first thing I see when I walk into my room. I like to think that she's watching over me, and that I am preserving her legacy and adding to it. 💜

I love how you fight for children's rights like a mother lion. ❤️🌈

I was that kid who played and held onto toys a lot longer than average. Thankfully my parents didn't jump the gun. During the routine visit to my doctor who treats my panic disorder, my mom simply asked the doctor if this type behavior is okay. Given my panic disorder, the age gap between my cousins/family members and I, plus the fact that I did have friends who had similar play, my doctor told them not to worry that I would grow and change at my own rate. (I know all this because my mom actually discussed this with me one day.) I glad they let me be and continued to simply support me. Looking back, I think it allowed me to have better social skills (worked in management for years dealing with both customers and workers) and encouraged creativity (a degree in Fine Arts). Parents don't be to hard on your kids. If you don't know something then reach out and ask the professionals.

You are everything I want to be when I grow older!

We Stan a business person who loves to collect dolls in this house thank you very much ETA: a fun little tid bit is that dolls and fashion go together like bees and honey so sometimes If someone (like me) has an interest in fashion they may also have an interest in dolls

When I was 15 I was still playing with my Barbie dolls and my brother told me I was a big baby and no one my age played with dolls anymore. Thankfully, my mother told him it was OK for me to play with dolls whenever I wanted. Oh how I loved my Barbie camper! Thanks mom in heaven. I'm 53 and still playing with my dolls! I love this channel with all my heart! ❤

Mommy you need to start putting the topics you speak on in the title or description because honestly I think they’re just as important as the doll ❤️❤️

I'M 54 and still love dolls. All kinds of dolls.

I’m a special needs adult and I never grew outta dolls bc I felt like they were a sense of comfort and a relieve of my anxiety so to me dolls are too precious to get rid of

What a way to start a video!!!! I remember my little sapphic self making my Barbies date lol. I had Ken but thought that Barbie and Barbie made a better couple.

You are SO right about not having age limits on doll collecting! I am sliding closer to 60, and returning to doll collecting after 20 years or so. I was teaching for 32 years, and now I am caring for a 90+ parent. Doll collecting keeps me sane. This Barbie Extra girl came from Amazon yesterday. Got to love her hair! “Bruiser” suits her little dog perfectly! Thanks for your unboxing, and for your honest commentary.

I’m 23 and just started collecting monster high last year - they’ve brought me so much joy! Love your message, there’s nothing wrong with loving dolls! 🥰

I love you! "Look if your kid is gay they're gay. Whether you let them play with dolls or not."

I remember i was ashamed of liking/playing with dolls after hitting age 10, i would go into toy stores and buy dolls and got so scared when i saw my classmates while going home. I told them it was for my small cousins. I played w dolls until I was 13, then i began collecting them at age 18 when i realized there is no shame in loving dolls. I love how you adress it! People get upset by people who have different interests than themselves. We grow in so many ways and giving up dolls and toys doesnt equal maturity.

You where speaking truth and nothing but truth about the childhood!!!! Love you!!!! Not only for your videos but also for how you see life 😘

I am 47, and had my first Barbie when I was 6.I still love and collect dolls now

I’m 21 and collect Rainbow High dolls and Chanel handbags 😂

I literally just watched the first 20 seconds and completely got my life!!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜. Love you, perfect parenting advice.

You're literally my comfort youtuber because im 13 and my family doesnt support me buying dolls and i love watching your videos because i cant buy dolls myself :)

I'm a PROUD LGBTQ+ mom and I couldn't be more proud of my son. His not just my son but my bestie!

what you said about collecting dolls is so true! i don’t see why it’s seen as socially acceptable to collect other things such as action figures, funko, etc yet dolls are taboo for some reason? it’s never made sense to me. i have always loved dolls, and i gave them up for many years. now that i make my own money, i immediately began recollecting!

I love how excited you get about having the dolls

Ok but I’m SO excited for this doll!! 🤩 Love her style and pet obviously! I also love the name you chose, reminds me of Elle Wood’s Bruiser!! 🙈🤩💗 And also thank you for the message in the begging... it’s truly important and necessary for people to hear 💞

Nobel Prize for this words!!! Simple true. Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOO much for this! ;*

I think the sunglasses sould have been yellow or maybe light orange :) 💞

It's weird because for collecting i love anything, and my fashion/aesthetic tastes lend toward Rainbow High, Monster High, Bratz more than anything BUT for repaints i LOVE Barbie Fashionistas?? My art style drawing is closer to the slim face though

Yas empriel queen. I love dolls and im 28 going on 29 and still love them thank you thank you i needed to see and HEAR THAT

I actually like the outfit on this one. It seems more cohesive and cutesy than the outfits in the last wave.

I love Dolls in general

Love you Mommy and love your son so much and I love your channel for many years and still do

I love that doll it is super cool with her long hair she looo like arian grande

speaking from my own experience as having to grow out of dolls, i definitely felt more pressured than anything to get rid or put them away. the pressure came from peers, because by the time i was 12 my classmates were already grown out of them. idk i felt weird abt still liking them. and now at being almost 16 im getting back into monster high :)

I was rushed out of playing with dolls. I was told it was time to grow up and start preparing for college at 8 years old. I’m in college now but the the doll collecting has come back in full force and I couldn’t be happier! :)

Oh my gosh I love your tea cup (tink is my favorite Disney character ever) 💜💜💜💜

I do like the charms on her necklace but I think I might skip wave 2 for the extra dolls and spend money on the curvy ocean Barbie ♻️💚 and the playset with the lounge chair 👍👍👍

I'm an adult but, love barbies. I never want to grow up.

I played with dolls until I was 20 and I loved them. But at 18 i was teased by my friends that said dolls are kids toys. I held onto my childhood because my parents divorced at a point in my life where i was going from teenager into adulthood and I wanted something that made me feel that comfort and safety of being a child. I'm well into my 30s now and i still collect dolls. I started with porcelain then barbies to bratz and now i love them all. PS I made a charm necklace cuz i dont wear bracelets. I loved mine. I need to remake it as it tarnished.

Thank You for your Wise Words. I wasn't permitted dolls and my mom was lawyer's secretary for Mattel at California headquarters. My sister was flooded with Barbies, related toys, accessories and others. I was allowed Hot Wheels. Now I have over a few hundred Barbie line dolls and counting. I love them and they have names! Oh yeah, I'm 63 and a man. Peace and Many Thanks! And super cool pet Bulldog! Gotta get him! Her for the hair!

I love your Doll collection you are the coolest lady on earth

I still played with dolls and mostly petshops in middle school with my friend until we were like 12 or 13 until we got the wii and we were super into just dance so we naturally got into this instead of toys. But I'm 23 and I still love toys especially blind toys and I would even love to design my own. But everytime I speak just about playing animal crossing to my mom or grandma they're like "oh you're such a baby you live in your own world" spoiler alert I'm neuro neurodivergent so I live in my own world regarding if I like "baby" stuff or not. My cousin is 16 and she had such a short toy playing period like by 12 or 13 she had musically and spend all the times with her friend on her phone. Now shes 16 and party drinking so yeah you can say she grew too fast

That was a beautiful comment. My parents never let me play with dolls, all I ever wanted for my birthday and Christmas was a Barbie 😭 now as a grown man I buy my own Barbies💅🏽

I was so insecure until you were talking about how teenagers can have dolls I am 18 years old so I'm sort of an adult sort of not and I still have my Barbie dolls and some that I'm buying I've been very embarrassed to tell my friends but my mother supports me and my father and just my other sister is that don't so I was really happy when you mentioned this ☺️

The aggressive support at the beginning of the video brings me joy

I am one of those who doesn't like RH or OMG dolls, but I like MH, EAH and quite a few others. I only like and collect the ones I like but I don't get annoyed at those who like the dolls I don't like, as you know, each to their own. No one should stop you from collecting what you want and making you happy.

I love your doll reviews for positive messages and inclusivity! I’m 30 and i collect dolls too. So many people criticised me for that just because it’s “childish”. Many expect me to give up my prized possessions to their kids because “toys are for kids you don’t need them”. Like please why would I spent time and money assembling my collection, choosing only toys I reeeally like, if i didn’t care??

I don't even collect play line dolls, but I soooo love watching your videos for your fun, spunky personality. I really admire your honesty when it comes to dolls you like and you don't and that mention your links are affiliate links in regards to amazon(many youtubers don't disclose that.) Your laughs always make me feel so warm and fuzzy inside, I can tell you are a genuine collector with a huge heart. Also, I love your little side tangents, I hope this doesn't come off weird, but it almost feels like I'm just hanging out with a friend who is talking to me about their day and showing off their doll. "Tiny mutant mouse" cracked me up!!!

Well said! I wasn't allowed female dolls as a child. I still resent it all these years later. Totally hair Barbie was one I always wanted. But you're right, it didn't stop me from being gay! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

I love blue! 🤣

I AM IN LOVE WITH HER

I love your rants. You really have the best understanding on life.

Omg you are so amazing you have a beautiful collection barbie extra are so amazing😍

So excited by the Extra dolls! 🤍

I have a that doll too i like her style and everything😁❤️

❤️Barbie!!

Her necklace reminds me of the plastic charm necklaces that were super popular with kids in the 1980s :)

I’m so used to having “big headed” dolls since I love Bratz. So getting nana surprise, lol omg and possibly in the future a rainbow high dolls for me have normal proportions. When I get a Barbie I feel like their heads are so small 😅

That opening! Ive never heard a mommy say that so boldly before. As an adult who was gay and played with dolls as a child this statement is 100000% true. Got to let kids be kids and just play how they want.

My mom told me I was too old for dolls at 12. And then my dad sold them at a garage sale without my permission. Now I feel like I'm reclaiming something that was stolen from me.

My young son played with dolls and he isn’t gay. He just like the idea of having babies to carry around the house

The intro is fabulous

Love 💕🌈

I'm a grown adult man. 30 years old. I'm proud of collecting Barbie! I love this Barbie EXTRA doll!!!

Ok I will be honest, I have not been on the the barbie extra train but if i were to buy one it would probably be her since she is gorgeous!!

The next pink collection doll looks right out of dynasty…and the new repro 🥰🥰🥰 Have you seen the new look dolls???

I have many dolls n my Collection nothing wrong it

24.99 at target and scalpers have lost their mind on Amazon

I so so so LOVE your videos! 💖💖💖

Simple! .... I love you

I have to do a speaking for my English exam and I'm doing on diversity in dolls because I still enjoy them

Hi Melissa! I just went to target and I saw it retailed for $24.99😭👌🏽💕 love you!!!!!!!!!

Yes I obsessed with doll and I 10 years old but my dad says im to big for playing doll and your right I watch your Videos every day 😭

I had a huge Barbie-Collecrion as a child but what really hurt was getting rid of my My little Ponies. I had a collections of 30 from the second generation (early 2000s) and a few from the first Gen. Nowadays there's no way of getting them again without spending ridiculous amounts of money. My Barbies were in pristine condition and now as I restarted collecting dolls I really miss having all those accessoires and stuff. I decided to never tell my future children they are too old for anything.

Yeah I only like dolls that have somewhat normal proportions. Barbie is the ultimate doll in my opinion. Mattel need to get the quality of the 90’s back but I believe it will happen to an extent. You seem lovely by the way 😊

I think there's a big difference between playing with dolls and collecting dolls

I really enjoyed this vid, you are so down to earth. If they make more extra dolls curvy, then I might get into to the extra dolls. For right now, I'm not really sold because while I like their movements, I can't stand to see the visual separations in their limbs. I like the fashionistas because of their realistic body forms, and lots of them come in curvy (but of course their movements are limited).

15 "fashion pieces" haah... but how many hologram stars are in that heart I wonder, anyone count them? Joking aside, I really appreciate your message on growing up. This EXTRA line is very tempting to collect (not a fan of the big head dolls), but I'll probably wait to see what the new Monster High look like first.

I'm a 45 years old woman and i love dolls....Every time i buy a new one my neighbor asking me: How old are you princess? Me: I'm 45 and i love dolls..and i have enough money for them...Luckily my mom understand me... or just says nothing...XD Oh and i have a gay friend who doesn't like dolls. One of my cousins always playing with dolls when he was little, and walking around with her mother's bag. Now he is a married man with children! :)

I love your videos! You are so passionate when you're talking about any doll, even if you hate it hahahaha

these dolls cost around $45 here which is quite steep but she's so cute! wish her hair was a different quality though

On March 14, 2022, it was $22.99 at Target. Love Her Periwinkle Hair ♥️

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

It's funny. I don't like baby-like dolls but the more elder ones like barbie. I can't with the LOL's biiiig heads and eyes, but i think Rainbow high has it kind of toned back so i still like them. I collect barbie, Monster high and Rainbow high since they are more mature with barbie being an adult and the high lines being jung adults/teens

i got her at target for $24.99! tried to price match to the Extras usual online price of $21.99 but it didn’t register bc the target had stocked them before Mattel announced the new ones so they weren’t on the website yet. i found #8 there too for the same price. also i love your tinkerbell mug!

Obsessed with ur channel!!!! Love this video, you are so lovely

The sound of your jewelry is asmr for me! Also your voice is crisp and I love it :D

I'm so glad you link the doll stands you use. I'm planning a series of custom Sailor Moon dolls soon, and I will need good quality stands to hold them.

Hello dear, I just love your channel, and yes I agree with you, I have the same age you have and love all kind of dolls.I don't find any problem with that , but sometimes people do not understand.....So thank you so much for your words. Best regards from Portugal and keep the good work you do.

I was waiting for you to make a review on this doll!!!!! Thank you so helpful!!!!!!

Nice Video

You inspire me to stand up for everyone 🌈✨❤️

I'm your biggest fan 😉

I absolutely prefer OMG and other big headed dolls, but honestly who doesn't like a cool Barbie?

Love her! Lovin her hair!🤗💜

I am the kind of person that LOVE Barbie, I’m not really into the other type os dolls, specially the ones with big heads hahaha I love monster high too, ever after high kind like it too, but Barbie is the one for me

This is probably one of the best dolls with the Millie facemold imo and the outfit reminds me of the fashion fever line. I definitely played with Barbies up until 7th or 8th grade. I stopped buying any new dolls for a few years but started up again later in high school, like junior or senior year, when I wanted to collect my childhood favorite nrfb.

Love, love, LOVE her! That face sculpt is boring for my taste however her amazinggg her and outfit totally makes up for it! She's so beautiful and I can't wait to add her to my collection 💗

Paid Amazon 29.99€ and love her!

My daughter absolutely loves the barbie or the Disney princess dolls. For some reason the larger head dolls have not visually appealed to her

I recently started to collect dolls, and I have to say that they're comforting me, especially the big surprise Na Na Na doll I bought since I don't get the feeling from them that I need to be extra cautious.

hi :))
