The difference between Barbie’s now and Barbie’s when I was a little girl I’m the 90s is mind boggling. As a little girl I would have never ever wanted anything they release now. The Barbie’s when I was a little girl we’re so detailed, beautiful and well thought out. They came with so many accessories and pieces and I don’t remember anything being molded on… just sad.

I feel like Matel is constantly slapping us in the face. They are fully aware of what Barbie fans want, but choose to pump out disappointments.

These dolls look like ones you'd get from the Discount Store. I remember in the 90s when a budget Barbie doll was even more high quality than any Barbies you get now.

I hate the molded on clothes, but kind of understand it. My sister used to buy only those kind of barbies to my niece when she was really young because she used to strip the dolls the moment she got them and their clothes were lost forever. Maybe that's the goal of those dolls, being rough played by really small kids.

What I don’t understand about Mattel is like, if you’re gonna make a repro/inspired doll from an older doll why can’t they make it look like the old one? Like put the same facemold but update it a little bit 🫠🫠

The quality of these dolls may be lacking, but if you look at the rest of the doll market i.e. mostly MGA, Barbie is filling the category of more affordable, super kid friendly dolls. At least a 3 year old can't lose a molded on top or choke on an articulated hand that pops out. It would still be nice for them to make a greater range of dolls in terms of quality in addition to these though. As for the tie-in dolls, yes her name is Brooklyn because she and "original" Barbie were roommates at a summer arts program, so they nicknamed each other "Malibu" and "Brooklyn" after their hometowns. The twins from the set with the dogs are named Jackson and Jayla. They are characters from the new show Barbie: It Takes Two starring the two Barbies. The twins are Brooklyn's parents' godkids *and* they canonically have two dads who are the first same-sex couple in Barbie media (but they don't show up on screen). The show is only 13 episodes and is actually pretty good, so I'd recommend it especially if you want to be borderline queerbaited by Mattel because Brooklyn and Malibu's friendship sure is... close haha.

yes i love brooklyn barbie for the same reason!! it honestly felt reductive for the black dolls to be barbie, but black; it's really exciting that they're making her her own person who just so happens to also be named barbie. idk I love it!

Mattel NEEDS to give more of their dolls articulation. It's much more playable for both adults and children. The soccer/ football dolls don't even have articulation. That's so dumb. They're sports players. The whole thing of sports is to move! If every doll I buy has to have its body replaced with a made-to-move and I need to fuss with finding a good skin match, I end up not buying any dolls at all. It feels like Mattel is trying to stop people from buying their products.

I'm 25... I'm not a doll collector... So why am I addicted to this channel?

Regarding the Totally Hair Barbies, I agree with everything you said. Usually when a doll line is remade, there is a nod or a definite connection from the original to the remake. I would NEVER guess these are Totally Hair Barbie's remade. There absolutely should be 60s mod reference with these.

The fact that kids won’t get the opportunity to own truly beautiful barbie movie dolls like I did in my childhood with Swan Lake makes me sad :(

I don’t understand Mattel - are they even looking at their competition?

Brunette Totally Hair Barbie is one of my favorite childhood dolls. That said, I don't hate the new ones but they should have called it something else. The basic mermaid in teal has a really cute face. I think Mattel does this on purpose because her and the purple haired mermaid have older sculpts and smaller heads that adult collectors might like, so they get a sale from the people who just want to head swap.

With so many awesome competition dolls from mga...youd think barbie would be trying harder, but sadly it feels like barbie has just given up! I realise basic models are necessary for younger kids but no articulation or real clothes...well, that's just like a lump of plastic, how does that encourage play. Watch any kid with a doll..the FIRST thing they play with are hair and clothes. Wake up Mattel! I think barbie has lost touch over recent years with their audience. I no longer buy barbie, the quality is just too disappointing 😢. I treasure my vintage ones more than ever now.

The Dream house looks like a Dream house for minimalists.

I wish Mattel would go back to the quality of like MyScene Days...I don’t understand why Barbie is so cheap. RH is killing them.

this is why I'm moving over to mga, smart dolls, and ball jointed dolls bc not only they are worth buying but have loads of articulation and their price is worth it because of the care and effort

i think i would LOVE that budget dreamhouse as a kid! knowing my parents wouldn’t pay a huge chunk of money for a regular dreamhouse

I really wish they put more time and effort into the totally hair barbie revamp. They feel like hallowed out husks of their former selves. Not to say that theyre all bad but they definitely left more to be desired :(

Oh wow totally hair Barbie I didn’t know she was a best seller I don’t think I ever had her but I remember her I bet I wanted her cause I love that extra long hair. I would have been 9 or 10 in 1992 😉🤗. 😂😂😂 my fav in those 4 is the 1 with curtain tassel earrings and flat shoes.

Getting none of those dolls (with some I can hardly even call them dolls since they are so static). They all look garish and uninspiring. OMG and Rainbow High are getting my money.

It all just looks so cheap and desperate. The jett dawson aliexpress version on the totally hair line… it’s one thing to be cheap and tacky, but to go out of your way to copy everything in a desperate attempt to grab MGA’s consumer’s attention? It’s sad to look at. Plus the children and collectors that buy mga won’t buy barbie if she looks like she got dressed in the dark with the worst quality fabric and hair quality…

i had a mermaid doll that you could squeeze her hips and her knees would bend, it was so fun! i can't believe how few barbies have even bend and snap knees, never thought my expectations would be so low i'd be thankful I had those at least.

I hope that MATTEL should try to reproduce fashion style dolls like Superheroes from the marvel collection series line like they'd did in the early 90's and late millennium era of 2000 with less disappointments to our scenes also, less boring for being a collector. I love how Barbie has different characters during the 90's she can be a princess, fairy, mermaid, bride, American Indian/Native American and a superhero! Dear MATTEL please hear our prayers 🙏 to reproduce fashion style dolls like you did during the late millennium era of 2000

I want all the new totality hair Barbies! They look like they have pretty faces, and it will be fun to get all the accessories

Mattel please bring back the quality of barbie and detailed fashion. Even in barbie collector dolls their are very low quality. MGA is producing high quality and detailed fashion dolls but why Mattel doesn't do it now just like before?

Of course barbie has to jump on the mermaid train again in competition with the mermaze dolls coming out

The crimped hair Barbie also comes with a protective hair bonnet!

Makes me wonder if Mattel will b releasing Hollywood hair barbie. I agree Mattel needs to go back to the bend and snap knees and the soft n silky hair.

I really like the new dreamtopia mermaids, especially the dark skinned one. She is beautiful, I will try to get her if she's not too expensive

So what I would like from Mattel for their non-fantasty type dolls is clothing that looks like it would be worn by that age range. So, there is nothing wrong with the Kelly and Skipper range. They are wearing patterns, colors and styles that fit that age. Barbie on the other hand, is also wearing a fair amount of patterns, colors and styles that would work for Skippers age range. I know that they are selling to kids of a specific age range BUT, dolls of previous eras were dressing in age appropriate outfits. Day to Night Barbie from 1984 is a good example. The style of the clothing was what a young woman could have been wearing at the time but the color was the part that drew in a kid with the pink and sparkles. I am not wanting them to make Barbie look like she dresses at Fashion Nova but a bit more glamour and style would be wonderful instead of skirt and a t shirt or a little floral dress that would be worn for easter. If you think back to the My Scene line of dolls and the details, different fabrics and styles of the clothing pieces and then compare them to the Barbie Extra line.....Oooffff. In the fantasy line they really should be doing more articulated mermaid bodies. Even a MTM with a removable fabric tail would be fine with people. And if they dont want to paint all those gems and flowers and details on the dolls....dont put them on. Heck, make a set for kids that is detailed and give them washable paint and the kids can paint up their own dolls!!! If I was a little girl walking down the toy aisle at walmart and I saw the recycled princess or mermaid dolls and then I saw Rainbow High and OMG LOL on the other side.....yeah. I know which one I would be excited for. And I know the pet thing is a sore spot for you, but if Mattel made realistic looking dogs, that had articulation? With nice fur? I would love me a well articulated Grey Hound for my barbie to lead around on a jeweled leash, flocked and NOT cartoonie.

I’m happy to see Skipper coming back as a babysitter & she & Stacie get to be mermaids

Some of the dolls are getting better but I mainly miss the magic with their hair, all the hair is just kinda thesame. It's nice that there are different textures for darker dolls, I love that, but all the dolls that have straight hair have just straight boring hair instead of some special hairdo's like the dolls in 2000's had. I think the clothing can be very simple for me but just the hair, i want more differences.

Mehhhhh… For me, these Barbie dolls are just not it. They all look like large-scale McDonalds toys. Barbie will always have a special place in my heart but, honestly, Rainbow High is just putting her to shame with the quality of their dolls and the concepts they come up with. I know these are play-line dolls intended for children but that doesn’t make it ok. I would have hated these dolls as a kid.

Oh I missed your videos. You are always on point with your reviews. Thank you again. Love your videos.

I cannot wait for the new mermaid skipper dolls !! Very gorgeous ill be buying them so quick!!

"If I CARED about football...." LOL, classic [its like a bunch of excited puppies chasing a ball in my eyes]

I soooooo miss Barbie from the 80s and 90s! They were so detailed and beautiful with clothes and hair you could play with for months without ever getting bored. These are honestly as boring as pet rocks. Literally plastic pieces of junk. Kids and adults have imaginations but there is nothing to create any variability or stories or displays or anything with these cheap nonarticulated hunks of plastic without any real clothes. And dont get me started about that “dream house”. Google the 1970s and 1980s dreamhouses and compare with this new one…. Uuuuggghhhh Mattel, what are you doing?

I've been waiting to see what you think about the totally hair Barbie's 😂. I agree with you. It would have been better imo of their hair went down to their feet like the original, I think I'll buy two of each and try to re-root with the same colours/styles just making the hair longer.

YIKES. This just makes it easier for me to give my money to MGA Entertainment.

I love your videos! I've got just a few Barbies in my collection, but I'm very fond of them. They're basic Barbies.

Those first dolls look 🔥 but yeah I agree we with the longer hair

They really need to change Barbie's face again, or at the very least give each mille different makeup from doll to doll, so they don't all look the same. They also need to make the clothes better quality

Hi- The Extra doll with the pink hair (the one you don't like the fashions), I also think I will buy her. I like her clothes also- they are kind of funky in a 1970s kind of way.

I think the basic mermaids are for bath toys

A new vid..ON MY BD! Yaaaa!!😍

I don’t know, the new Barbie extra gives me more Totally Hair vibes than the ‘reboot’ dolls. I find them very disappointing!

She is so right for me 1:41 Thanks for showing!

The new barbie mermaid power dolls both barbie and barbie Brooklyn and the dreamtopia with the different fins are really speaking to me !!!,btw you are wicked awesome I ljust love your channel

Might get the new totality hair Barbie wished they had included a steffie mold.

I'm sorry to everyone who loves these, but I hate all of them except the pink hair on the extra doll. I never thought the day would come when I would be most likely leaving Barbie for other dolls, but it has come. Over the last at least three years, if not more, I haven't liked any Barbies. I grew up with Barbie and they were always so beautiful and quality, but not anymore. Whoever is making the outfits just looks like they grab a bunch of fabric and sew it together even if it doesn't match. Their design ideas are trash to me; the colors are atrocious. As far as I'm concerned, Ruth Handler would be turning over in her grave if she saw what has happened to her dream and beautiful Barbies of the past :( Lately I'm actually looking at Rainbow dolls and maybe some others to take the place of Barbie as I don't know when they will ever bring back the beautiful dolls of the past. This saddens my heart so much :( Btw, does anyone know what happened to the new Bratz line I heard was supposed to come out months ago? I was thinking of trying one of them.

Everytime I see there is a new video from you, I open it right away all excited. :D I'm totally gonna get the new Barbie Extra doll. I actually like the over the top clothes on her, and she is beautiful!

Barbie is so disappointing 😭

The mermaid at 12:41 is very pretty. I like the Skipper playset with the carseats.

Best doll reviewer ever !!!

I don't watch Barbie movies so didn't know about "Brooklyn Barbie". That doesn't sound cool to me. The dark Barbie is actually named *Christie* , I hated when they started calling her "Barbie" in the 80s, it took away her identity. Later in the 90s they called her "Nikki" but soon went back to calling her "Barbie". I disagree with your thought about hair play dolls; I hate when the hair is an unrealistic length. To me any hair length past the waist is annoying. I wish some of the new dolls had curls or afros. The braided one is cool. PS - I appreciate your validation of everything I hate about Barbie post 1999.

I think that the dreamtopia princesses (i think) are aimed at a far younger age group.. like.. toddler even? with the molded tops and cheap material, I think that a mother (okay, I'm speaking as a mother of a 1 year old and as a BIG Barbie fan) I think that I would feel comfortable giving one of those to my child. (I love your channel and I NOSHAME will talk back to you like you could hear me. You're great.)

Looovee love love these “new dolls” videos as well, so entertaining thanks for this 💕💕

I like the hipster foldable dream house. It's one of their compact houses obviously.

I want the . mermaid power boat and doll playset

I’m agreeing with you 💯on your review here. How did basic Barbie’s become so, so … basic! I will be buying the Barbie extra tho!

I don't care for the molded on tops either. They used to make snap on tops and Mattel should do that. Limiting the doll so you can't dress her defeats the purpose of Barbie. I also just received the 2 twin teen dolls with the pups, they are named Jackson and Jayla and very cute. I haven't seen the Big City Big Dreams movie or the new one called " It takes two? Something like that anyway the Twins are supposed to be in the second movie. I am thinking these mermaid dolls are looking so similar that Mattel figures we change the tail, hair and top and sell her, no one will notice she's the same doll done over and over again. I do like the new mermaid tails though. Other than that mattel is going to have to improve their line for me to buy them for myself or my granddaughter. Great video as usual, thanks.

I loved Barbie as a child. But now I don’t, because the quality is so bad.

you're so underrated!! subscribedddd

I agree with you about the painted on clothing. I especially dislike it in the beach line dolls. The Ken dolls in the line have real trunks, why can't the Barbies have a real swimsuit like they used to? Makes them no fun to dress either, because the painted suit shows through the other outfits.

I love your Doll Passion lol. I have only one Barbie Doll (customized). The Rest of my Dolls are in porcelain.

I wish the TH Barbies had more longer hair too. It's cool Mattel is remaking popular Barbies from back in the day however the new TH Barbie is a pass for me

Well, that was indeed a lot of plastic trash!

That last Brooklyn Barbie Mermaid is a direct ripoff of RH's Phaedra (change my mind, lol). I know - I would just love to see more articulation, period. And I agree that Mattel knows what we want - they just don't care.

I wish you would make a video. If you have the authority or you are the owner of a doll-making company, what will the doll you want to make look like?

There are a couple here I will probably buy. The purple mermaid with the new face sculpt looks interesting. And the blue mermaid with the Tori face sculpt is so pretty. You have to imagine them on different bodies and with different outfits. I only ever look at hair and face now because I'm going to be changing all the rest.

I love the house

I hate all of these. Everything looks the same and they're all cheap looking and tacky.

4:10.... they added a Pettit Barbie

I don’t know if I will ever get any of them or not because I am not really crazy about any of them

Wow I am so disappointed with every last one of these dolls honestly 😞 I can't believe what Barbie has become 💔 I try not to be one of those people who speaks so negatively about current Mattel, but sheesh they're making it hard 😭 The amount of sculpted or painted on "clothes" these days. I cannot. And the excessive mix matched colors! Man... 😪

Totilie hair Barbie1990 ist die beste die jetzige gefällt mir Christie und die Brünette am besten

They from take two and the black hair one is barbie Robert's as well as the normal barbie

There's a new tooth fairy Barbie that just came out and I went down a rabbit hole of all the tooth fairy Barbie dolls. There's actually a few of them.

Are you excited for Shadow High

I NEED ARTICULATION!!!😭😭😭😭 total disappointment. I prefer barbie extra and barbie looks line. They should focus that more.

I am going to be buying the mermaid Barbie dolls

Awesome video! I do not care for all the plastic outfits. I thought the Skipper dolls were cute though 😊

The mermaid Barbie looks like Simone Summers from pacific coast high

Shadow high

Reason for the molded in clothing is for parents not having kids naked dolls laying around the house. They feel it's not appropriate when adult guests come over for dinner etc. Brooklyn Barbie has a new cute face. I really like her.

I think totally hair barbie reboot suffers from the fact it's trying to capture the 90s when the original was trying to capture the 60s/70s with its groovy pattern. I think if they just used the same pattern but different colors and cut. Like the same pattern, but it's a 2 piece now.

Skipper cute

Barbie has lost most of they appeal for me. Even their collector dolls have been going downhill. Made to move tall barbies are all I buy nowadays.

Wait a minute that new meditation Barbie? Why does it look like she only has made to move legs? Does she really just have regular articulation on her arms? I wonder how much that saved them?

The new Totally Hair is a totally fail As you said, the original 1992 doll was the best-selling Barbie in history because of her long hair down to her feet In the new versions, the hair only reaches the knees, which does not allow for endless hairstyles The outfits are too tacky and childish The original also had a very colorful dress, but it was more stylish Dreamtopia's new princesses are hideous, bad color schemes and sculpted bodices with plasticky skirts make it all really cheap and ugly The three basic princesses have better colors but are equally cheap I LOVE all the new mermaids! Finally Mattel has decided to create dolls that are actually half-female half-fish creatures The four mermaids of Dreamtopia are gorgeous, beautiful and harmonious colors and each one has a unique design Yes, they could have made the tops removable by clips but by now Mattel wants to avoid the controversy of parents who could be scandalized by topless mermaids so they sculpt them For me it's okay anyway, especially because this time they are shells / starfish bras, which would have been difficult to make with fabric, so better sculpted in plastic. The tails are perfect, beautiful fishy designs and I love the little fins on the hips The three basic mermaids are really pretty, finally mermaids with a single color tail True, the fact that the painting of the drapery on the hips does not continue on the back is frustrating, but sadly now Mattel does so. And yes, the lack of joints makes them unplayable, but as a child I would have loved them anyway And considering that Dreamtopia mermaids already have the four basic joints (neck, shoulders and waist) these are designed to be even cheaper I hope that in the future the Dreamtopia mermaids will have the joint to bend the tail so that the basic ones can have the joint at the waist to sit them. The dolls from the Mermaid Power movie are very cool, the designs of the two Barbies are very regal, and Skipper and Stacey looks very fun

I would like another merman

Barbie's in they're flop era 🥳🥳

I love them

I miss the days when they sold fashion packs for not only Barbie and Ken, but her sisters as well. These dolls would sell better if they had different outfits, too. Now if you want a different outfit, you have to buy another doll.

I want the original Barbie totally hair I won't use the goo

I hate hate hate Barbie but Ngl those first four dolls the ones with the long hair are actually to die for

Meditation cute

Barbie boat cute I would call the African American Christie

"Leans towards trash" 😂😂💀💀 🗑
