I think naming the male character in your doll line "DUDE" should be considered a power move

Fun fact: boxy girls were not just a Walmart-exclusive - they were also available at Cracker Barrel, everyone’s favorite place to buy dolls from💀

"Highschool Dude" has got to be one of the funniest possible things mattel could have named that doll

As an asian, i can't help but feel a little bit down with the lack of representation in the industry. Even when we do get an asian character it's almost always japanese. I just feel that there's such an untapped potential for representation in the fashion doll world for south east asian and other asian culture.

Honestly I think I’d switch strawberry shortcake and my scene. I feel like strawberry shortcake is still on like childrens backpacks and has an active show and is vaguely in public consciousness, whereas my scene, no longer being made at all, is something the average person on the street probably doesn’t remember or recognize at all unless they bought them or played with them. Maybe that’s just my area and lots of people remember them in other places idk.

As someone who wears lolita, fairy kei and spank style,, I have to say that NONE of the harajuku inspired dolls feel harajuku at all to me lmao

I like how Mattel was so scared of Dawn that they had like five lines of mini dolls still in production when dawn had already gone bankrupt

Seeing all these failed 2000s-era doll lines reawakened some deep childhood memories. I still get the Moxie Girls ad jingle stuck in my head sometimes.

Have you thought about making a video comparing all the Monster High knock offs? It's amazing how many dolls with abnormal skin tones just suddenly appeared in 2013 😄

Love little miss no name, Mattel really thought they hit the "poor little meow meow" brief and shipped out those scary wee dolls

“..Such as dancing and .. praising God”. That made me laugh way more than it should have. 😂💖😂

Random fact: I had a theatre instructor who was actually the voice of Angel in the Kuu Kuu Harajuku series when it was airing and she'd act in-character at some points. So thanks for having me revisit that lmao

I wish they'd bring Pinkie Cooper back! The designs were absolutely gorgeous and it was really nice having an anthro doll on the market. Also the paw molds are just so cute with the toe beans 😭

Every single time I come back to this video, it's to chuckle at the description of "Little Miss No Name". "The tear under her eye is removable but nothing could change the fact that she looks like an absolute demon". I still laugh about that.

The only ones I can think of that were left off would be: WWE Dolls Sparkle Girlz Cabbage Patch Kids (not quite fashion dolls, but given their history deserve a mention) Disney Dancing Princesses (only because they were mini) Janay Kari Michell Rainbow Brite (only cuz Strawberry Shortcake got a mention) Maybe She Ra… Great job overall!!

I'm a male adult Ever After High fan. I fell into EAH years ago after I came across the webisodes on KZfaq during a break at work. I really liked the series but initially was not interested in the dolls at all. That changed because I liked the Raven Queen character the most. So I bought her and was very impressed by how much doll looked like the animated character and also the great details she had. Later I spotted a Dexter Charming at Target and I quickly bought it because there was only one of him at that store. From there my collection began and over the it became bigger and bigger. For someone who had never bought or collected any dolls before I've spent a lot on EAH dolls over the years. I more than likely would still be spending on them had Mattel stuck to the great quality it had for the EAH line in the beginning and not eventually stop production of the entire line. Because of that I think Mattel really made a big mistake with how they handled EAH because I know very well that I wasn't the only adult collector willing to spend on those dolls if they had kept production and quality in place.

I was honestly shocked, that the W.I.T.C.H dolls by Giochi Preziosi weren't included! I feel like they were huge here in Europe! They even had a comic book series and later on a TV series. They were a huge part of my childhood and from my knowledge, the dolls are highly sought after! I have all 5 characters and I'm so happy! But great video, I love to see a longer video from you, I could just listen to you talking about dolls for ever!

I thought that the Moxie Girls were literally just something I imagined as a kid, I never saw anything about them up until now.

It’s amazing how many kids got dolls that focused exclusively on adjustable hair length, I just used scissors 😂

I've never seen one of these. I appreciate that u actually gave credit and asked permission! Also you are quickly becoming my fav doll KZfaq because you don't do an obscene amount of box openings and your voice is so soothing.

I love the amount of research that went into this. Your knowledge of doll history and trends makes you like...the ultimate weapon for doll companies. If you could create your own doll, which aspects from the giant list you went through would you include?

Something I wanna add about the little apple dolls, is that each one comes with a little foam apple and a bag of safety pins that you're supposed to poke them into. But they're light and small and getblost so I've literally got a drawer full of them.

i literally fell off the bed in shock that someone else remembers Zodiac Girlz. I had the Aries doll, and i used to spend hours on the website as a kid, but no one I've ever mentioned them to knows what the hell I'm talking about.

my best friend in elementary school had FOUR Girls Of Many Lands dolls and i was SO jealous. they were absolutely GORGEOUS.

i was obsessed with those yummi-land dolls as a child and i swear noone ever mentions them 😭

Melanie's Mall was probably the coolest playset doll to come out of the 90's. It really had that 80's/90's mall aesthetic. There was a working escalator and fountain, hair salon, arcade, food court. So much fun.

I had no idea that Blythe and her dolls were originally completely unrelated to lps! I always thought that she was character made by hasbro to… i dunno sell more dolls? Anyways yeah that’s interesting and I remember seeing those on the shelves when I was younger!

I LOVE hearing about obscure and less popular dolls and would really enjoy seeing more videos discussing less talked about dolls.

Omg I never knew a fashion doll for it existed but miss scouby's hair is actually a craft thing called scoubidoo. It was massive in France and the UK especially in the mid 2000s when I was a kid, they're plastic threads you can make keychains and little animal sculptures etc with

So happy the list included Susi! She was pretty huge in Brazil until like mid/late 2000, but now they only sell through the manufacturer's website and are more focused on adult collectors. As someone who was a kid during the mid/late 2000 I still saw her a lot on stores but Barbie was definitely more coveted, specially because we’re talking peak toy media era and Estrela (the local manufacturer) could not compete with the amount of games, shows and movies Mattel was releasing to promote their dolls. One thing worth noting is that she was at some point more popular than Barbie in Brazil, during the 80’s because her face mold and overall quality were considered better. Sorry for the long text, just some background on this specific doll if anyone is interested.

Oh my god, Yummi-Land!! I'd totally forgotten about them. I'd still be interested in those if they were made today.

I personally collect primarily Japanese dolls, so I would have loved to see Azone and Bandai dolls included. Azone Pure Neemo dolls are some of my absolute favorites, I really recommend checking them out if you've not heard of them. Love the video! ♥

First of all, I love the video. Im surprised I knew most doll lines post-2000s! If I'm not mistaken, I think the W.I.T.C.H dolls were not on the list, even though they've had their share of success, at least enough to make it into the iceberg imo! PS: the WITCH comics are very cool and the lore is very nice, i totally recommend it. I'm also very happy Susi made it to the list, since she was very popular in Brazil before Barbie's late arrival in the 80s. Aside from that, some other doll lines that weren't mentioned but also I'm not sure if they count: Enchantimals, She-ra dolls (both the old and new ones), Spirit riding free dolls, another doll line that's also called 'Off the hook' that resemble Capsule chix, LOL Tweens (I'm not sure if it counts separate to LOL OMG), Harry Potter fashion dolls that popped out of nowhere recently (most of them based off the 4th film), and lastly there were the Shopkins Lil Secrets that went with the old polly pocket compact model, but Im not sure you'd consider them fashion dolls since the clothes were not removable.

I watched the whole video while working on a project. You brought back so many memories of y2k dolls I loved and forgot about!

I wish the star darlings dolls got more of a chance to thrive- they're literally so pretty

I'm only 7 minutes in so far, but I'm extremely happy you played a bit of the Strawberry Shortcake theme song. That show was extremely important to my childhood I'm loving the video so far though! I also really appreciate you giving credit to the person who made the original iceberg and linking their socials. A lot of people either don't give credit at all, or just mention the creator in passing and don't link to them

Wonderful video! I wish more companies would do animal doll lines like Pinky Cooper & Catwalk Kitties. They're always absolutely adorable.

I'm so happy that you mentioned Trollz. Me and my sister had them growing up, and I never see anyone else mention them.

Saw this iceberg months ago and I'm glad it's getting covered! I can't imagine all the research this took; your work is super appreciated 💕

Oh my god they NEED to bring back Maudlynne Macabre. My goth heart needs it!! And her Victorian ghost (girl)friend PLEASE! I will kill for it

there's a revamped version of the disneybounding dolls at target right now called ily 4ever, theyre american girl scaled but with much more cartoony faces and they're quite cute!

One doll line I thought of that was sort of not mentioned was the Living Dead Doll spin off Fashion Victims which were meant to be more fashion doll versions of early LDDs although definitely adult. Series 1 is kind of terrible, series 2 fixes those problems is pretty darn cute and have inset eyes; I want Sybil

I love that you use that MyScene song as your outro!!! That song has been stuck in my head for YEARS and its so amazing to hear it in every video! Also great iceburg, love how deep it goes, I had never heard of so many of these!

Dose anyone else remember Pinypon dolls by Famosa? They are kinda similar to Capsule chix because they are a mini doll were you can take apart their bodies and hair in order to mix and mach their fashion. They also had a more obscure spin-off called Piny Institute of New York with an animated series and larger, more traditional fashion dolls which cute chibi proportions and anime faces. I have some PinyPon dolls and playsets from my childhood and I really want a P.I.N.Y. doll because of their cuteness but they were never released in America.

you’re my favorite doll channel at this point! this video was so cool and i saw so many dolls i either forgot about or have never seen!! so cool thanks so much for another great vid!! keep these up!

I just got done watching the video and I enjoyed every moment of it! Lowkey, I forgot I put some of these doll lines on the iceberg since I myself was unfamiliar some with them. There are some doll lines that definitely deserved attention while others… well, let’s just keep it at that lol Again, thank you so much for reaching out and making a video on the iceberg! I know it was a lot of effort but it definitely worth the wait! The amount of research done in this video is really impressive! 💕

21:25 I always figured the Equestria Girls dolls were still pony colored because Mattel assumed kids wouldn't be able to identify the characters if they looked like normal humans.

I am amazed that everGirl was a flop because that website was SO much fun. I specifically remember a game that was choice-based to get a character to become class president. It taught morals (lying only makes things worse, stick to your friends, etc) along with some actual campaign/promo strategy??? They also sold clothes for girls -- not dolls, actual kid's clothes -- based around which personality category you fit, many of which matched doll outfits. It was a WHOLE thing and I can't believe it isn't more documented. Looking it up, I can't find anything from the old website! It was the same concept as Hogwarts houses, so I'm amazed we don't have millennials and late Gen-Z identifying themselves by their everScopes. The only other thing I remember is that the lightning bolt was the sporty girl (she had a snowboarding game, I think?) and the star was the sensitive and artsy girl. I'm not in the doll community at all, but I'm amazed by how many of these I know purely by virtue of being a young girl in the 00s.

I'm so happy you didn't shit on Steffi Love when talking about her. The Barbie fandom can be pretty mean about her in a snobbish way that always rubs me off. I'm from a lower class household, and owned a mix of better quality 'rip-offs' like Steffi love and the 'actual' fashion dolls like Barbie and Bratz. Most of my friends were of similar households, and my best friend who grew up across the street, if you don't count the 'rip-offs' and only the higher end fashion dolls, she'd only have owned 1 Bratz doll throughout her entire childhood. I'd watch with jealousy how my wealthier cousins had things like doll houses and we'd be improvising with carton boxes. I actually got kicked out of the Preminger Discord for pointing out a joke about Steffi was pretty classist, and trying to reframe the joke to be about black Barbies instead to showcase how wrong that joke actually can come across. Apparantly, reminding people Barbie was originally also a way to promote the American Dream to young girls, and how little girls who weren't of rich white families have long been excluded from the fashion doll community is too upsetting for people. Barbie is actually one of my driving motivations behind my aspirations of becoming a toy designer (including fashion dolls) that serve quality but are also more affordable, like sets such as doll houses of which you can buy the individual rooms and click them together, so families of lower income can collect rooms to eventually give their kid a full dollhouse, which can also give everyone a chance to build the house like they want to. (an idea I actually have from a cheap toy line sold at Action back in its old days when it was still selling decent toys. It were like 10 or 20 rooms that each came with a theme which included a grocery store -I think, I accidentally swallowed one of the plastic tiny tomatoes back when I was 8- and its own plastic little doll that was about Polly Pocket's size and you could click the rooms together. Why fashion doll lines aren't taking notes, bothers me. It makes fashion dolls way more of a luxury products then they should be. There are plenty of lower income families who could save up for a doll house, sets like a beach club and whatnot if they can be sold into pieces and it would still bring in money. But I guess this is the difference between corporate greed and actually caring about toys and everyone getting one. I'm more of a santa claus-kind of toymaker then one who cares for millions of euros. I want to see profit, sure, but I'd rather have a 1000 euro profit and every kid being able to get one of my toys regardless of the class they grow up in then a million euro profit and only being able to sell it to the kids of snobbish parents who give their kids an IPad at the age of 3.)

THANK YOU!! I could never find the name of my Betty Spaghetty, I never realized it was a Happy Meal toy. Also, I’ve gone down the doll rabbit hole in the last year cuz I recognize too many of these names.

I always thought that Generation Girl was the American Girl for literally every other country. I just assumed it’s because only a small fraction of little girls that want them are actually American girls themselves lol just thoughts from a Canadian lol

me and my parents just sat through this entire thing and we loved every second

Thanks for going over this iceberg! I've been fascinated by fashion toys for a whole and learned about a lot of interesting doll designs I would have otherwise been in the dark about. I'm glad someone else remembers Betty Spagetty, and I'm glad Capsule Chix made the iceberg. I wish Purrista Girls had made it too, but I think they may belong on one of the lower tiers for now... If you like cat dolls, check it out! It's a simpler, more chibi version one the cat dolls you mentioned. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a list of search terms to investigate...

this was such a lovely walk down memory lane for me. my aunt owned a toy store when I was a kid that specifically did not sell big name brands, so being reminded of my more obscure gifts from her like my Only Hearts Club dolls and my Zodiac Girl was really really fun. ❤️

Hopscotch Hill! Also by Pleasant Company, released around 2000. I remember wanting one as a kid so bad, but they’re absolutely terrifying. I would put them about the same level as Magic Attic Club,

i can't believe journey girls was so deep into the iceberg - i had so many of them as a kid and adored them. i thought they were way more popular lmao

can I just say thank you so much for this video ! I have been waiting for a video on this iceberg for months ! it's so interesting to see dolls I grew up with featured here i entirely forgot about (especially the novastars !) so thank you for unlocking good memories as well ! :)

Oh my god shorties. My whole life I remembered playing with them as a child but since no one ever talked about them I assumed I must have been misremembering a different doll brand but they're real! This is a revelation for me

OMG the nostalgia hit me like a freight train when you said BEGoths.... I wanted one SO bad, and I wasn't even a collector at the time! I'm thinking I'll have to look for inspo picks and make my goth BJD some outfits! (ResinSoul Mei in NS of anyone is curious! She was actually my first doll.)

This was the video I found your channel with, I have now binged all your videos within 2 weeks and I love them all you're so knowledgeable and sweet, I'm so glad I found your channel I never had dolls as a kid so learning about all this stuff I never got to experience has been so fun! Thank you!💜

Ahhh I can’t believe I didn’t see this sooner!! I absolutely loved the video, and I was able to add a bunch of new dolls to the “I need to get them” list. Also, you reminded me to check and see if any new listing of zombie girls doll popped up and I was able to snag a sunny burns for much cheaper than I thought, so thank you for that!

My guess is Susie Sad Eye's was a cash grab in trying to recreate the famously popular big eyes paintings of the 1960's by Margaret Keane, but this is just a theory.

I've never actually seen a Licca-chan doll before, yours is really cute! A few of the DS games were licensed over here, but we never got the doll, so it's neat to see her recognized! :D Also: Smart Dolls are so cool! I love the anime style, and it seems like a lot of care was put into them!

I have recently gotten into EAH doll collection as the series was the reason I became an artist when I was younger. The packaging and the dolls themselves is so great I can’t wait to get my hands on more of them.

I don't know what it is about your videos that keeps drawing me back to them. I didn't even know there was an adult doll community until I found you but I still keep watching your videos even though I legit know nothing about what you talk about. I think it's your voice.

I've been trying to remember what Chixos were called for years!!! I had the dollhouse when I was a kid but I think it was sold at some point, so I'd try Googling things like "aqua dots dolls" but I couldn't find them. I never really used the beads because I didn't want to "waste" them, except for a single red one I stuck to my bedroom wall lol

Ah, can’t wait to finish this. I love these types of videos and someone knew to Doll collecting. These are really big help

betty spaghetti, diva starz, sugar planet, and trollz were my absolute favs when I was little! aside from the more obvious contenders ofc. plus omg the mini polly-sized bratz with fabric clothes you could use for both dolls those were so cool 💗 also *can I just say* - the girlie with the stamped on face unlocked some kind of core memory for me💀 that was crazy There was also this one britney spears barbie i got when i was like 5 of her in the shiny metallic green top from you drive me crazy that the G.I.R.L. dolls you showed reminded me of but i can’t find who made the britney doll :-/ these days my little sister loves the enchantimal dolls, do those count as fashion dolls or not really?

Your more doll history centered videos are definitely my favorite! I would love to see more

I'm surprised Shopkins Shoppies didn't make the list. I think they're discontinued now but they seemed pretty popular a few years back, more so with younger kids.

That Pixidoos video needed a jump scare warning 😂😂😂 This video is amazing!! I saw this iceberg a while ago on a doll subreddit so I got excited to see that you covered it in a feature length presentation!! Some of these doll lines unlocked memories I didn't know I had. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this!! I feel like I leveled up as a doll collector just by watching this.

This was so much fun! Seeing Miss What’s Her Face unlocked powerful memories for me. Also A+ for including the absolute BANGER that is Spontaneous Combustion

i love your voice sm like i’m like 3 seconds in and idk i’ve been watching for a minute now and it’s so unique and synonyms to your video (WHICH I LOVEEE) it’s an instant source of happiness!!!

The Yummi-Land dolls took me back, mainly the pets only because I wanted to get the various pets to add into my LPS collection.

I just want to add on some dolls that I personally think should of been added. Firstly Enchantimals. They’d probably be around the 2nd or 3rd tier. Nowadays they are kinda obscure from stores but I do see ads for new ones every so often which I find interesting. I guess this could of gone under Disney dolls but Disney VIP dolls. If they were separate they’d be lower down and I don’t know if many people know them. Idk if these are really fashion dolls but they were kinda like capsule chix (they released before them actually) but off the hook dolls. I feel like I’m the only one who had any of those. That’s my two cents on what I think should of been added but overall I loved this video. As someone who really wants to get into the doll industry as a job I love learning about dolls and their history and meaning

Oh my god wee 3 friends just killed me with nostalgia. I thought I made them up. I distinctly remember winning a set of them from our local pub when I was a kid 😭

what a great, well-researched video! it was fun background audio while editing work stuff lmao some comments: i'm surprised you didn't mention that the prettie girls had the same designer as so in style! there's definitely some family resemblance there madame alexander stopped making my life as dolls at some point in 2013-2014 i think celebrity dolls could've been included! granted, many of them are barbie but there are some pretty interesting ones like the britney spearss and supermodel (like naomi campbell) dolls from the 90s. gwen stefani also released a doll line to promote her tour back in the 2000s way before kuu kuu harajuku most of the mini mattel fashion dolls never really went anywhere cuz they were pretty poorly-made. speaking of, i would've put the family corners dolls here-they were a pretty unique matchmaking surprise toy. i think the different barbie scales could've been mentioned too, like the mini kingdom line in the 00s or the endless hair girls from dreamtopia. other 18 inch dolls i would've added are a girl for all time, which is a historical line based on the u.k. but the characters are apparently all from one blood line, and vanange-a pretty aggressively christian doll line 😮‍💨 overall, loved the video and it was a really nice trip down memory lane ❤️‍🔥

Betty Spaghetti was me and my sister's whole childhood! so glad she's remembered. Betty made a great Sailor Moon stand-in

If you thought you knew everything about dolls, prepare to be wrong. Thank you for taking the time to make this video 😁 Seeing some of the discontinued lines was so nostalgic!

OMG I'm so excited for this iceberg! It's such a great topic and I haven't seen anyone cover it so far 😍❤

American Girl "historical collection" is incredibly special because the historical fiction book series written for each doll. The novels were very well researched, and had consistent themes for each girl--school, Christmas, summer pastimes, birthdays, etc.--to compare the day-in-the-life across different time periods. When the Pleasant Company sold to Mattel, and they started to retire parts of the Historical collection, it was a clear sign they lost sight of the educational significance of their product.

This video is gold! Thank you for illuminating the “ iceberg .” And many thanks to the creator who allowed you to expand on their work. Edit: you are one of my favorite creators - I am learning so much from you! 😊 your videos are excellent.

I was super worried I wasn't going to see SpacePOP or Lady Lovely Locks on here, which I know LLL wasn't explicitly on it but I'm glad you at least gave her a shout out :) The secondhand market on her is actually quite vicious and I feel like one of the few people who genuinely cares about that series (US wise, she seems to retain popularity in europe)

Took me a while to get around to watching this. I never watch iceberg videos but I'll give this a whirl for you since I always appreciate your perspective.

This video was so good! It made me go down rabbit holes with several dolls. Thank you for making it. I’m really surprised that Shoppie Dolls or Secret Crush Dolls were not included on this list with how recent they were on the market in doll line history.

rip to the madeline dolls not being on here i especially loved the smaller versions and the playsets they came with and i dont feel like theyre super obscure? anyway i love this longer form video and i'd be so excited if you made more like it in the future too!

Thank you for this. As someone a bit older it was so fun to see childhood favorites on here. Jem was everything. I also have like the most 80s memory of sitting in my friends room with Michael Jackson's Thriller playing on her turn table and playing with her Rose Petal Place dolls. I didn't have any and was so jealous of hers.

sweet Secrets was a line of dolls that were sort of transformers for girls, way simpler than tansformers which were made to look like jewelry and unassuming accessories and every day objects (well, they were made to look like cartoony colorful flamboyant versions of every day objects), later on having secret make up compartments. They are from the early 80s.

EverGirl!! Ive been trying to remember those dolls for SO LONG and NOTHING has come up when I've Googled the little bits that I remembered about them! You just made my day, thank you!!

This is an amazing video! There were so many dolls I haven’t heard of, especially those from different countries. I’m sad that so many of my favorite doll lines on this list have been discontinued or are hard to find, but I love the research you did on all these dolls, and I hope to see more! Tiny nitpick: I’m pretty sure Boxy Girls weren’t a Walmart exclusive, because I saw them a few times at a Target, but they were pretty tough to find in general.

What a video! This must've been hell to make but you did an amazing job, definitely one of my favorite videos of yours. It will serve as a great resource for anyone interested in doll collecting for years to come. Here are some other lines I could think of: - Pop Pixie (though could be seen as a spin-off of the Winx dolls you did mention) - Stardoll dolls (based on the popular dress-up website, though could also be seen as a Barbie line) - Regal Academy (based on an animated show) - Various iterations of W.I.T.C.H. dolls (though you briefly mentioned the Giochi ones) - I'm a Girly (recently reviewed by Emily over at The Toy Box Philosopher) - The Biggers (recently reviewed by Emily over at The Toy Box Philosopher) Emily has also reviewed other brands in the past that are still missing. It would be cool if icebergs existed for other types of dolls like celebrity dolls, baby dolls or even an iceberg dedicated especially to dolls based on movies and TV shows (e.g. Harry Potter has a ton), but that could be a life's work!

excellent video! i discovered your content recently and i love it

7:43 When I was little I LOVED Strawberry Shortcake. I watched the 3D animated show and The Sweet Dreams Movie so many times and had at least one little figure of each character!! I also bought the remake of the og doll around 1 or 2 years ago because I loved it so much when I was younger.

Surprised by the number of unknown dolls featured. The Trailer Trash dolls with the cigarette 😂😂😂😂

I love these clean well put together doll information videos of yours. So glad YT recommend your channel so I didn't miss its existence.

I'm actually really impressed with the sound quality here in this video. I LOVE the content of your channel but it's often hard for me to listen because of something going on with the sound. But this video is actually clean and easy to listen to! Thank you.

I sure enjoyed watching this. A lot of dolls I’m really not familiar with (mostly because I’m an older fashion doll collector) but as you had some interesting facts about all of them, I just found myself following the whole video. It’s so refreshing to see someone who is actually doing his research instead of just talking and making no sense like so many people on KZfaq! Hope to see more videos like this one soon Well done young prince (you gained another subscriber here and on Instagram)

you are quickly becoming one of my fav youtubers. your personality is so wonderful and you bring me so much joy! I really hope Magic Attic Club is on this iceberg
