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. 👍🏻🌹👍🏻

Oh thank goodness it wasn't just me Arjen lmao I was like why is nobody talking about Ken's neck!!

I love Ken. I'm sorry Barbie Styles collectors, but I'm really hoping they release him as a LOOKS or a fashionistas, so that poor collectors, especially us Europeans, can afford to get this stunning Ken. I love the highlights.

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. 😊

That moment with boilwashing Ken's hair was hilarious! 😅

I'm thinking about getting those two thay look so beautiful together I luv displaying couples together with a little furniture and accessory so fun !!!

They are FAB-TAB-U-LICIOUS-LY tooooooo cute!

Thanks for sharing this set. They are definitely cool. It's funny, Barbie's outfit reminds me of something a woman would've worn in the 1940s! I'm sorry you got a chipped lip after all the hassle of getting this to your country. I'd like to see Ken's blazer on a Barbie for that fashionable oversized look!

I ordered it as soon as it was available on Mattel's website, and they still haven't shipped. I called Mattel today and they said there was a delay in shipping. Ummm.... ya think? At least Fed Ex didn't lose it! I had to have the side eye Millie in this. She is GORGEOUS. So strange about Ken's neck... I agree, they should be flawless at the price Mattel is selling them for.

You are so right about Ken's neck! 😄 I am also happy to own them! 🥰

Hi Arjen! I'm a recent subbie and have been trying to catch up with all your videos! They have really helped my anxiety. Your makeovers are fabulous! Thank you so much for such wonderful content! 😍

I wish they'd sell just the clothes for $50. Ken needs more nice clothes. I need more fashion packs! Once the Barbie corvette comes back in stock, I'm gonna buy it with the Barbie movie outfits set and the purple/pink Barbie style outfit set.

I wish the quality of vintage dolls would come back 😢

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.

His neck is quite funny! 😂 Barbie is beautiful though! Love you your videos! 🩷🩵🤍

Omg this vid makes me get excited can’t wait mine to get arrive

Such a cute dolls love the outfits and kens clothes.....So fun watch your video!

They look amazing though! 🤩 Looove the resort vibes so much! 🌊💗💗💗💗

I absolutely love your channel 🩷 I started collecting signature a few months ago and found you! I really want the side eye Millie but I'm not keen on the ken 😅 Side note your videos really help me on anxious days! Very calming and cute content! 🫶

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!

I wish Barbie had some sunkissed highlights as well! We see so much of blond Millie

This is just my opinion, though I find this set cute, the price point is too high! Wowza! Also, maybe people were putting bad reviews out there, so they could get their hands on one, before it sold out! Shameful!😮 I'm getting more of a brother and sister vibe than a couple, from these two. And, isn't it interesting how the promotional photos seem to have corrected Ken's short neck?!😁 Thank you for sharing this set! They are really cute and fun to see!

Girlfriend purchased barbie and ken style 2pack collection set yesterday at her local toy world store paid $179.00 she loves it

I can't believe the quality construction of their clothing! Metal snaps? Whoa!

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 💖

I hope these come back in stock

Great job as always! I would love to see a Ken style-up makeover from you. 😊

It was actually cheaper in Australia. Target Australia had them for $108 ($73USD). The US price of $110 would be $162AUD. Got a set for my daughter to put aside for Christmas. Gonna finally get her a Dream house too and put them in it for her to open on Christmas morning. She's 10 and loves Barbie

Omg couple I love it ❤❤ ken and barbie❤❤

Glad you were able to get them! I agree, Ken looks like he has no neck! Hey do make a striking couple though! Thanks for sharing!

Не знаю почему, но когда я была маленькая- очень нравилось купать кукол) не всегда это было возможно. Разве я могла подумать,что через много лет у меня будет (ЦЕЛЫЙ! )канал , где купают ,переодевают и рассказывают о куклах) Ещё и не простых куклах,а о легендарной Барби! 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)))

Both are great!

I have this set. It’s really nice but I feel you don’t get much for the price. He should’ve come with long pants plus maybe another shirt plus shoes. 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. I I think they are best friends n not romantically involved but they go out together to meet guys n have fun shopping!! Lol Thank you for the video!!!!

Hello, I bought it too!! I really ❤ it !!! I have them on display 🌸🌞🌸🌞🌸🌞🌸🌞🌸🌞

Arjen, I am so glad you were able to get them, unfortunately for me I was too late. I am not too upset as I am waiting for the Extra Ken Super Fly and the rest of that gang. Great video, so glad that you are always on top of all the dolls and the new releases. Keeping me poor, I have to stop buying. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

The BARBIE is perfect I wish the set had only BARBIE and more outfits for her

Wow I need them ❤

Her shoes! Much better fit with the outfit! Where are those from? 🖤

The only thing I don't like about this set is Ken's neck! That's the first thing I noticed 😅! I don't know why they made his neck so short!? He looks so strange next to Barbie. Everything else is fine. Barbie is beautiful!

They're so cute

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. ✌💜✌

LOL the same happened to me, i saw every other @barbiestyle set sit there for a while and i trusted this one to be same and sold out immediately, luckily i got it in Amazon but even tho i love it and i got a good one, saw that there was some wonkiness all around and for a gold label item it's unacceptable

Thanks Barbination for the review. You did a gr8 job

Hi Barbie, ❤Hi Barbie,❤ Hi Barbie,❤ Ohhh Hi Ken,😂

Rehead Ryan Gosling Ken head to made to move Body if anyone that has this set wants a made to move body do the same with Margot /Barbie

It’s unfortunate how this set is so clearly Greece themed and yet it’s very hard to find here in Greece.

I love them but where did you get those little shih tzus?

I’m so hoping they restock them because I didn’t get a chance to buy them 😢. I don’t understand. I wanted the Margot Robbie.doll too and she wasn’t even available in my area to purchase. I’m so sad so I hugged my other Barbara favorites and I hung my head up high because Barbie said it was going to be alright ❤

I love the set, but can't afford. Sigh

Just got them through a seller in indonesia and I pay for almost 200$ . 2 months a go check them in a store in Dubai cost me 400$ seriously they made in indonesia and its so hard get them in indonesia

I think that the ken's neck isn't like on the picture is just like his head push little bit down

Hey Arjen, really love your videos! Is Ken's neck really that short or is his head shoved on too low? I would heat up his head/neck a little with a blow dryer, remove his head and put it back on. If you do, let us know if it helped. Cheers! 😊✌️⚘️

I would be raving mad if I got a doll with a chipped lip. That is unacceptable. When I was a kid (1980s) I never once got a Barbie that had anything wrong with her face paint. And those were playline dolls.

Vielen Dank für diese schöne Video Arjen ❤️ Also diese couple Box in Deutschland kostet 207€ ist sehr teuer ich kann es nicht kaufen 🥺🙄 Aber für 207€ erwartet man auch alles perfekt ist Ken hat kein Hals 😂 Und die Barbie ist sehr dünn sie hat nicht normal aussehen von Barbie aber sie ist schön. Aber ich finde diese Box sollte man als Dekoration machen und nicht Kinder geben, ich werde es nicht für mein 3 jährige Tochter kaufen.

Ken's lack of neck is really stressful

I can’t wait to get this set

It looks like your Barbie came with a cold sore 😂

Love your videos Arjen! This set is a big disappointment though. Immediately I thought “where is his neck?!” 😂. Can you pull his head up a little? 😂 It’s such a shame your Barbie has a defect on her face for that price. I hope Mattel will do better instead of leaving true Barbie fans disappointed.

🤗🧡🎈🔥😍🤸🏻‍♀️🎈

I don't collect the Barbie Style Dolls in general. They're very overpriced, and I can't afford them. I like the Barbie Look dolls better. They range about $20-$22, and Amazon puts them on sale for $15 which is a bargain.

Oh My Gosh! Newbie 😮💟 Not available in India 😭 U R lucky than me 😭

Poor Ken, why didn’t he get snaps 😢

I bought this set and the Barbie's hair is rooted super thin and Ken has no neck. Ken was the reason why I bought this set and to receive a Ken with no neck with this price tag was upsetting. I have better Kens for a lot less.

Short neck Ken 😂😂

They gave Ken traps 😂😂😂 all the Ken’s looking 👀 🥩 beefy and muscle men lately.

В России этот наборчик сейчас продается за 300-350$, лучше я его у вас на канале посмотрю. Кен вообще отстой, барби симпатичная

Damn, Ken has gone bulky... Steroids? 😂

The clothes looke like a better playline product. The dolls are ugly and the price is much, much to high. Uninteresting for me.

She is ok, although the hair and the make-up could be better, but him looks so cheap and plane. Not worthing even a fraction of what they are asking, especially not with him being such poor quality. You can buy an integrity at this price.

The set sucks! For such money!

That Ken Doll is Ugly. He has no neck and that face. You washed his hair and it went poofy. I don't think you were supposed to remove Barbie's Undergarments. 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. Matte; Creations has a seriously problem with Reseller bots buying out the dolls before collectors can get them.

9:04 Nipple flicking.

Ahwwww ❤ this is so california style vibe 🎉 buuuuuut nahhh shame on Mattel 100 Dollars is not okay! its a shame wtf! Mattel should sell only dolls in swimsuits and fashion packs instead but with quality! Its enough Mattel 😢
