I must agree that Mattel needs to step up their game. I yearn for the days when Barbie clothing was made from nice material. When her shoes were color coordinated with her outfit. While her face is cute, there should not be a single factory defect in the paint. I’m more harsh in my criticism of Ken. He has no expression on his face and his neck is definitely MISSING! 😮 His legs look too thin and his pink outfit is going to look much better on your “Mini Me” than it does on him. I understand why collectors want this set despite its flaws. Mattel owes the Barbie faithful more. They sacrifice quality in order to turn out more and more dolls. They fail to understand the true Barbie aficionados expect better, appreciate better and will eventually refrain from purchasing more because of the imperfections and poor designing. Thankfully, there are still some Barbies that meet the standards collectors want to see. Please allow us to see your mini dressed in that pink outfit….with his ball cap and a nice pair of white running shoes 👟. Thanks for another wonderful video. 👍🏻🌹👍🏻

This is basically a ten dollar barbie in a hundred dollar box! Short choppy hair, glue stuck to the body, and a ken with hardly any neck? For $110?? Like a said, a ten dollar doll in a hundred dollar box! You get better quality from playline. The barbie looks and rewinds are fabulous! Id rather buy them. 😊

The Barbie collector dolls are really disappointing now of days. The quality isn't their and the price is too much. They can't even give you stands that don't break. My two Looks doll stands waist clips broke. Luckily, Amszon came thru and gave me a credit. Also, I wish the Ken had pants. It seems like this is a trend with Ken dolls. This Ken is boring the buff. The Looks doll with the buff body and Extra Ken have much better faces. Those two dolls are also way cheaper.

You are so right about Mattel! So much disappointment. I have not made up my mind about this set. In the US, it is supposed to be an Amazon Exclusive so I am confidant that it will show up eventually. Unless it is a Mattel exclusive, the Mattel shop selling out does not mean much. Mattel carries a very limited stock, unlike Amazon. Anyway, I am really surprised about Ken's neck. I wonder if you pop his head on another made to move body it might improve. And also compare the bodies and neck holes to see if there is any differences. Maybe popping his head off and then reattach it might help. So bizarre. But they do look wonderful together and the boil wash did wonders!

Love the mini glow up you gave them ❤️ Ken in particular looks much better now. I agree, though, that Mattel really needs to step up their game - especially for their more pricey Barbies. If we’re gonna pay over $40 dollars for a doll (or $110 in this case 😳🤯), then we should expect nothing less than perfection. I think this is another reason why I usually try to wait until their dolls (especially the pricer ones) go on sale. Anyway, thanks for the review. Looking forward to your next video 💖

Ваш канал,для меня своеобразная гештальт- терапия) А по поводу этих кукол,я подумала,что можно было бы ещё придумать один образ Барби- не снимать с нее чёрный топик, одеть вместо цветастой рубашки пиджак Кена( сейчас ,вроде бы, в моде женщинам одевать мужские вещи)- интересно смотрелось бы. А Кена оставить в одних цветных шортах- он и так красивый)))

She should’ve come with at least a nice big hat n maybe a skirt. I believe we’re paying mostly for the packaging. I wasn’t going to purchase it but when I saw it was the last one at FAO Schwarz I had to buy it. Plus it was cheaper than eBay.

Yeah, Ken's neck is bizarre, how did that get through? I'm not going to do anything to mine, but it's super weird. The jacket helps disguise the issue, so mine will probably always be wearing his pink shorts suit. My Barbie's hair is rather brittle, I found. I had to give her a spa day for her box hair, and there was a fair amount of breakage I wasn't expecting. Overall it's a nice set though.

As a collectors item I would expect more, Barbie with the same face, and somehow Ken looks younger than Barbie 🤔 (which technically he is 🤣) but all aside, for the price is disappointing, you are not the only one with issues I've seen ken's lips all chipped also and what's with the neck? Was he hit in the head Tom & Jerry style. Mattel needs to do better we deserve more for the price. I am not hating I would get them to add to my collection and keep them as they come and admire them 🙈🙈🙈 but that's just me. Still you did a great job on styling them. ✌💜✌

They were tapped on so you could put the clothes on over them. The [packaging is wasteful. If the outfits came on the dolls. They could saved all that wasted space in the middle and then been able to lower the cost. They sold out because of resellers clearly.
