This isn’t a super small niche one but I wish equestria girls understood the potential they had

I would KILL to live in a world where where Ever After High went on longer than it did. Like, we could’ve gotten a MONSTER HIGH crossover. And also, they never got to do a Wizard of Oz inspired line, which is such a shame.

Novi Stars 👽 another line cancelled too soon.💔

I think we can all agree Shadow High was cancelled *WAY* too soon. Honestly SH had always been done dirty, whether it be from MGA or in universe of the webseries (Shanelle was robbed) It's so unfair they had to be dropped just because MGA wanted to make Rainbow High more kiddy (and Sunny pretty much just killed her sister as soon as she hatched that mutant slime creature)

The aesthetic vs. diversity thing imo has a ton of self sabotage in it. Customers want diversity to be normalized, they ask for it and companies listen but because capitalism gotta capital they fulfill it in the cheapest way they possibly can. This works out for them no matter what. If their cheap terrible product sells? Great! They've lowered the bar on expectations and made a good profit. If it fails? Also great! They can just fall back on "tried and true" products and claim diversity doesn't sell. Basically companies are greedy and risk averse and also run by older privileged people invested in the status quo.

S.I.S. doll secondhand prices are just FOUL!! Also like you said its funny to have a line that is diverse *and* fashionable but modern day Barbie just refuses to allow anyone to actually be fashionable (outside of like... Rewind I guess?)

Moxie Teens is definitely a line I really REALLY wish had taken off and revolutionized the doll world so we could have more playline dolls available that are larger than the 11 1/2 inch size that Barbie standardized. I personally love larger dolls more than smaller ones, so having more options of taller dolls outside of collector items would be really neat!

How can one person be so consistently right?

I think some of the Lalaloopsy spin off lines were so good! The Lalaloopsy girls (the ones who were more school themed and were closer to a Barbie type proportion but still not exactly) were so cute and fun, and the Lala-oopsies were so adorable and really appealed to my preference for unnatural colors and fantasy!

I loved the Star Darlings books but god some of the webisodes were painful - there was this one that especially stood out where Libby's friends basically made a song about how annoying she was. (also still mad they never made Astra or Adora dolls)

Moose Toys also has a line called "Scruff a Luvs", which are plush animal toys with a similar idea -- the tagline was ‘Find us Scruffy, Make us Fluffy’, and you're adopting an abandoned 'mystery pet' to care for it, which includes washing the fur (probably more gel or something similar). It launched in 2018 and saw a lot of success, so I think the idea with FailFix was to translate the concept to fashion dolls. I love the FailFix dolls and totally agree that their 'real' faces are super cute! The mystery reveal gimmick just seems to be kind of the 'thing' with Moose Toys, you know? They also have the Magic Mixies (and the Pixlings dolls offshoot of that line are also adorable).

thank u for mentioning barbie so in style and the genius of stacey mcbride irby. that is the strongest point for barbie's fashion ever. i have so many nostalgic memories about them but even removing my bias they are just perfect.

EAH is one of my favorite lines and I desperately wish that it could have lived longer! You are 100% correct, the show was amazing and needed a conclusion!

I was born in 1974 and the dolls today blow my mind with how beautiful their faces are and how cool their outfits are.

I wish Shadow High understood its potential. It may sound vary random, but the need for goth and alternative styles in the doll market is there. Maybe making it exclusive to online stores and make them a collector spin off of the rainbow high line, I don't know. I just imagine the potential of imaginative, weird and alt fashion with mga quality and I start to loose my mind. Instead, they gave us rainbow high dolls with other name. Well.

Ever After High's mistreatment made me so sad. It was so hard to collect for it and I never even got to open and enjoy half the dolls I got even if I did find them.

I think a second struggle with star darlings was that they were exclusive to the Disney store. Like I could buy the books from a Barnes and noble but 8 year old me had no idea that the dolls existed. Plus you are right about the zodiac. I imagine kids whose signs were missing probably didn’t want a doll that wasn’t their sign or they didn’t like the doll for their zodiac.

American Girl's World By Us doll line deserved so so much better, its concept was to talk about modern day social issues which I thought was a great next step for AG, and it added more diverse dolls to AG which is something they've always struggled with. But they seemed to have give up on the doll line almost as soon as they released it, they never got new items and were very quickly sidelined by other releases. Its just frustrating to see something that was such a good idea wasted.

Moose Toys Capsule Chix were so creative, and I loved the varied themes. I didn't even know the doll line existed until after they'd already been discontinued and started showing up at Outlet stores.

If there's one thing I wished that didn't discontinued, that would be Fashion Fever but at least kept the fashion packs going

Was feeling terrible this morning and this will definitely cheer me up!

EAH is my Roman Empire

I really hope that Bratzillaz makes a comeback since the Bratz has made one. Its designs were some of the best and them being cancelled because of the Bratz was stupid since it always felt like something completely different.

S.I.S. Dolls were my fav back in the day! I love their fashions way more than the main Barbie line. At that time S.I.S. clothes felt more current yet with the glam campy flare Barbie had. Barbie’s fashions were tacky or the taste level was juvenile or terrible. That line was cancelled way too soon. They deserved at least ten more years.

the first doll i bought second hand was the jade bratzillaz back to magic doll. she truly did start my doll collection, and now I have over 100 rainbow, bratz, and monster high girls in my room. I wish bratzillaz where cheaper second hand because their inset eyes are so beautiful

SAVE ME DARLING DOLLZ SAVE MEEEEEE (tysm for posting…. Always a hightlight for me

Also: I loved the Hairdorables Hairmazing dolls when I first saw them, and it guts me to know they had plans for new characters to cross over into the line but it got cancelled! (Totally with you on the giant earring love, too.)

I will never move on from Ever After High... 💔

i love how because you so consistently happen to post on days i desperately need a little comfort media, when you post a video on a day i don't feel particularly bad my instinctive reaction is 'i probably need to take a break' lmao. darling dollz posted, reminder to practice self care 🙏 i don't even collect dolls I just love it here

I adore Star Darlings, especially for its zodiac theme, which is why I'm surprised they're so underrated, I made it my mission to collect every single doll a while ago and I was able to in 2022, even the UK exclusive Cassie and Sage, just wish they would've made the rest of the characters!

I love learning about doll lines I've never seen before from these types of videos. I'm enamored with the Disney VIP dolls, even though I never saw most of the shows I'd looove to see the Alex/Selena Gomez one in person. I love the funkier proportions and the caricature style faces, I think they're endearing and cute and manage to keep out of the uncanny valley. And the Star Darlings are similarly cute and were totally out of my radar!

Rip star darlings, you will be missed by every girl who grew up on glitter force 😔

Thank you for including FailFix! The line was definitely increasing in quality, with PrettyArtee having a noticeably nicer outfit than the series 1 dolls. I think it probably would have been refined even further if it hadn’t ended so soon. I think some of those dolls are truly gorgeous!

The so in style dolls were gorgeous! And so hard to get second hand now. I agree with your picks. I also loved the my scene barbie line

I remember there being a so in style dress up game on the Barbie website when I was a kid. It was one of my favorite ones but it seems no website archived it after flash died

Love when you talk cancelled dolls! Also apt that I just got in my most sought after Star Darling today ❤ serendipitous

I definitely agree on EAH. And as I've looked back, I really missed out on the Bratzillas. They are gorgeous! I'd love a good reboot/continuation for both lines. I liked the Star Darlings, except for the odd sizing compared to other dolls I had at the time. But that's a me thing. The designs gave me old-school Rainbow-Brite, and I loved that. But Ever After High is the one I would potentially sell a kidney to have back. There was so much potential, and there were so many stories that could have been used to create new characters.

I will forever have a grudge against failfix for stealing art and then everyone on Instagram arguing that you can’t steal fan art (it wasn’t fan art anyways but besides the point) and that it doesn’t matter that a company traced an artist’s work because the doll was cute -_-

I found out about new dolls I never knew existed! So its always interesting to listen to you. Bratzillaz are the only Bratz I actually like. I HAD to have Meygana when I first saw her and fortunately I immediately found her second hand for a very good price (she now sells for $20-25 even in poor states).

I will always be mad about ever after high being canned (same with so in style i remember begging for some of them for christmas cause theyre gorgeous)

Reboot She-Ra deserve more dolls. Fully articulated dolls from mattel at that time was crazy, and we only got one wave of dolls + the SDCC ones. I would have loved to get characters like Perfuma, Entrapta, Scorpia, Mermista, Mara. It had so much potential for goregeous dolls at a very decent price of 14.99

I loved the style and concept of Bratzillaz so much and wish I could get some of the dolls. Imo an underrated fashion doll line that was canceled too soon is Disney Attractionistas. I'm gonna continue to mention these dolls until the day I die. While I happen to own one in box, I don't actually know what quality they were. I feel it was a really cool concept that sadly ended up going nowhere. I do feel like the ILY dolls are a sort of successor to Attractionistas and I'd love to see more incorporation of ride inspired fashion pack or perhaps even dedicated dolls in the future!

I never saw the So in Style Barbies. They are gorgeous! Im going to look om eBay but they are probably really expensive. 😭

I’ve never heard of so in style they are so cute!! I would definitely but them today 🥲

I personally dislike the Fail Fix dolls because I think it’s cooler for kids to get into actual doll restoration from thrift store dolls etc… I know that may not be realistic for everyone but it’s crazy to me to simulate a doll restoration

Bratzillaz and ever after high I was so disappointed to see get cancelled 😢. While I don't collect dolls, I've always loved their extended media (movies, shows, books, etc). And ever after high was one of my favorites, and I really loved bratzillaz too 😭. I still have hope that they'll be revived like monster high and the main Bratz were 🙏.

Star Darlings is still a huge mystery to me. All of the other lines you mentioned I love but I can sort of see a reason for their cancellation, fair or not, but SD was so obviously intended to be Disney's next big thing, you can see they really invested A LOT of money in them, dolls, novels, cartoons, and they were setting a big complex lore and world, the characters had tons of potential to grow and develop and then....nothing. As if it never happened. But why? What happened? They were barely released a few months, so I can't reach any logical explanation.

The Ever After High books slay !

Eah was cancelled too soon, they were awesome! I hope they get a reboot like monster high and maybe a even a proper crossover this time!

You should do a video on the Korean fashion doll, ddung. A very cute fashion doll that's overlooked in America

I love So In Style! I have most of the dolls and purchased them when they were released.

I cant AGREE MORE with your points. I wish EAH had an ending or any continuation with the story, i wish star darlings were more available, WISH MOXIE TEENS HAD MORE! And the disney girlies had a wider release😢😢 i miss SIS a lot they were so so so prettyy. Some dolls were gone too soon :( thanks cammy for the amazing vid❤(as always)

LOL OMG Fierce was cancelled way too soon. I'm SO. SAD. that Kitty K and Candylicious weren't released. 😢

Star Darlings world granted wishes to gather wish energy to use like electricity. it was always weird to me that the entire star world was so dependent yet ignorant of anything on Earth

I needed this, thanks darling

See Darling Dollz video pop up on my feed It was posted 13 min ago Yaaaay!❤

I love all your videos. They're so historically informative & I learn a lot.

I'm not into Bratz - I was a teenager when they were first released, and I'm not a huge fan of the oversized lips and tiny eyes - but Bratzillaz are really awesome-looking. And what is that one Ever After High doll in the flowery dress?! Gorgeous.

CAVE CLUB!! They were released in 2020 by Mattel but discontinued a year or two later, they did not last long. But they’re my favorite and they deserve another chance, they’re so colorful and sweet. And the dinosaur/cave man element is so unique, I love it❤

I love Star Darlings even though I don't like astrology and my zodiac sign is the polar opposite of my personality. Maybe the spacey magical girl theme attracted me to buy them

Fianna fins was my favorite doll I had when I was younger ❤️🥲 miss her dearly

Ever after high is my Roman Empire as the kids say

RIP FailFix dolls, still by far my favorite faces of any doll. Love putting them on custom bodies.

I love that you called Star Darlings stellar

Failfix dolls look so beautiful💕. Their inset eyes, the adorable size, and great articulation made me love them when I first saw them. Truly a shame I wasn't collecting dolls back when they first released but I still got some of them and I love them❤️

Never heard of So in Style dolls; which I had. I’m going to have to find one at a reasonable price.

One of my favorite canceled lines was Project MC Squared! As a STEM girl, I loved the little projects that came with the dolls. I also liked the show on Netflix.

Omg your videos always make my day!

I remember getting my niece two Star Darlings dolls. I thought they were so well made so I picked them up. Wonder why they failed.

In response to Zodiac/Astrology-themed doll lines, I recommend checking out the Icy Fortune Days May Tree bjd dolls (they're small dolls, about 5in tall or so) I have Libra, Virgo, Leo, Taurus, Pisces and want the whole set, they're beautiful cute little dolls with really well made clothes. They come in mystery/blind boxes but I got mine on Amazon and picked the ones I wanted.

It's so nice to see you again with dolls in your hands! I would like more reviews from you, not just chatting.

The failfix girls, in my view, had a failure in the packaging itself. A lot of people, children or collectors, can't really get a good idea of the doll as it is packaged, the face sculpts of the smudged make up masks makes it look like they are in distress and the plastic robes don't let anyone see the quality of the clothing. I get that they were getting into the blind bag and experience oriented packaging like OMG LOL but there were no cute graphics or good pictures of them on the box to help this. I skipped them completely because of this and after I saw people taking good pictures I got myself a few Kawaii for rebodying. I think if they had sold the common ones in a simple packaging, or had a clearer way to show the final product they'd had a bit more traction. Without that, any argument like "make up bad" was enough to topple them.

Thank you for the video and nostalgia

We NEED a doll collection tour!! I’m talking 1+ hours of just in depth doll talk!

I really love your channel 😭❤️

Thank you for the video!

Hairmazing hairdorables did release some of the new characters under the kaleidoscope line in 2022! The were only released at kohls and Costco..I have almost the entire lines as these were my absolute top faves besides lol omg! And I collect so many fashion doll lines..

I’m still in mourning for Trashion Alley. WE WERE ROBBED. I just REALLY want some dolls outside of monster high that will lean into the anthro animal aesthetics!! I have my own ideas for a line but it’s not like I have those connections to pitch it, but it would just be so fun to have animal dolls 😭

I wish Novi stars would make a come back.. those were soooooo unique ❤

I never got an s.i.s doll, but agree that this doll line shouldn’t have been cancelled. One of Barbie’s biggest issues in the early 2000’s was lack of diversity. So in style could’ve seriously helped the Barbie brand a lot

the star darlings took me backkk, i loved the animated series and i had no clue there were dolls!

Wow. I haven't heard the name "Moxie Teenz" in YEARS. It unseeded such a deep memory from my brain

I think EAH was discontinued because Disney sued them for copyright issues with their characters. Mattel lost the contract with disney and then the rest is history. Although Mattel just got back with Disney, that is why we had a few sneak peaks that suggest maybe EAH will be back.... 😉

I adore the concept which Zeenie dolls went with! I'm trying to be as environmentally friendly as possible an I deeply care for Earth. I think, these dolls are cute in their own specific way and this concept should be explored more!!

I will never get over start darling I was their #1 fan from jump like I’ve never rode for a doll line so hard and I didn’t even get an Aquarius doll

The story of ever after was getting somewhere and now I I’ll never know! And the dolls were so detailed! I’ll never forgive descendants for killing eve after…

Fantastic video. I'm always impressed with how you get your points across in such a down to earth manner, bravo. I am a big FailFix fan, though I completely see the points for them sending a unhealthy message might be cause for criticism, really poor marketing decisions on that line. I would have liked to see Cave Club last longer, mainly because we only got one male doll. Cave Club came with so many good play accessories that really fleshed out what each of the main characters was into - especially in the 'Wild About' line. The prehistoric pets were designed and painted really well, espeically the larger ones that were sold separately, wish I had gotten more when they were on clearance. Not exactly a 'doll' but speaking of fantastic little creatures that only lasted about 2 waves, the Hatchimals Pixies Riders are really wonderous miniatures that have incredible detail for their size. I also liked how the cardboard box packaging turned into a little playset, fulling covered in colorful art that was unique to each figure. After wave 2 the line took a major turn for the worse. Are you familiar with them?

I was sooo hopeful that Mermaze would release leg attachments, I feel like a real opportunity was missed.

As a person who didn't really grow up with fashion dolls(I didn't like dolls a lot and they were expensive), it is fascinating yet sad to look at these dolls and not understand why they were cancelled. I wish I got into fashion dolls earlier because some of these are so adorable! And they were releasing at the time :(

Ohh new vid to cheer me up

What a great list and explanation. I wasn't fortunate to get SIS dolls, for whatever reason I must have been under a rock because I did not know they existed until about 5 years ago when one of my @dollworldshows had her show and named the main character Grace. I thought to myself where do these beautiful black dolls come from? I've never seen them before🤔 THEN I realized how lost I really was. Excellent Video as usual.

hairmazing is one of my favorite lines ever made. i adore the color palettes and face molds!!

To this day, I'm always surprised that Ever After High dolls didn't make it that far and got cancelled. I thought it would be neck and neck with Monster High. I wonder if could ever have a comeback

i wish i had some of those discontinued dolls. Great video

This was a great video! So many dolls I've never seen before. I agree that they should have gone on and not be canceled.

I completely agree with Hairdorables Hairmazing! They're one of my favorite doll lines ever and I'm lucky to have all of the dolls they did release. I wish these could be brought back... Another one I'd like to add is Barbie Generation Girl. Maybe its nostalgia speaking but I used to play their computer game so much! I think theyre very pretty and I love their articulation. I was able to acquire 2 of these dolls second-hand (incomplete but I don't mind!) Also adding Mermaze Mermaidz and Mermaid High. Mermaze was really stepping up their game after the first release. Except for the expensive price, why were they even discontinued?? For Mermaid High, I feel like they didn't get a proper chance. They're pretty dolls yet didnt even make it internationally...

Once upon a zombie was so so so good! You should totally do a deep dive on it but loved the video!

I loved Ever After High! I watched all the episodes, read most of the books, and bought a whole bunch of the dolls. (And I was already a grown adult during its entire run) It's a shame we will probably never see them come back...from what I've read, Ever After High was a big part of why Mattel lost the Disney Princess license for several years. Now that they have it back, they probably wouldn't want to risk it.

I love the Moxie Teens, especially the faces. It’s nice MGA at least sort-of brought those inset-eye faces back in the Project mc2 and Mermaze dolls.

Failfix is so cute! It's a great play concept for younger kids - when I was young giving each other makeovers was a huge bonding thing for tweens. I don't see where you'd get the concept that you're "shaming" girls for not knowing makeup, the whole idea reminds me of learning how to style myself from older teens and more fashionable girls. It was an experience that made me feel included and connected to other girls and women. I never saw those girls be catty or judge you if you didn't know what you were doing because we're not in a disney channel original. Most of the time, girls who like beauty are nice people enjoying their hobby who ALSO worry about being judged for it.
