I am older than Barbie, so i remember her early days. As a doll she was ok, but the clothes was the star, with real zippers, buttons, snaps, no plastic except for shoes. Metal jewelry rather than plastic. I abhor these new Barbies that are half plastic. Velcro is ok. But only printed details on cheap material is so dissapointing. I can make better clothes out of socks and scraps. Sigh.

It’s a koala not a panda. Also this is VERY off topic, but in the Sweet Fruit Color Reveal Barbie series there’s a doll that has the 1987 Christie face sculpt. It’s the one with the big red hair, if you get past the poor quality of the hair the doll is actually really pretty. The facial screening doesn’t have the graininess of some of the Barbie’s these days, I recommend getting her if you’re the type to get your dolls rerooted. When I found this out I was excited, they don’t use it very often anymore so she’s a rare hidden gem.

They do so many t-shirt dresses because of the diverse body types the dolls have. Clothes swapping is the biggest factor in doll play and those dresses fit all of the body types
@CanonessEllinor10 ай бұрын
Controversial opinion maybe, but I don’t think body diversity is worth sacrificing the core appeal of Barbie for. In an ideal world, I wish Barbies would be sold with a clearly marked dress size (calling the four body types something like Medium, Large, Tall and Petite). And then fashion packs could be sold tailored to specific sizes, ideally with every outfit available in all four sizes. I get that Mattel probably wouldn’t do it because of SKU bloat, confused grandmas and fashion packs being a tiny part of doll play nowadays. But it would be wonderful to have proper Barbie fashion back, and I honestly think having explicit sizes be a thing makes a lot of sense from a body diversity point of view.
@PurpleandWhiteStories10 ай бұрын
@CanonessEllinor When the different body types were introduced, Mattel did just this. They had a picture code on the top right corner highlighted for the body the outfit was made for. It's a little disappointing they got away from that.

@bethenecampbell646310 ай бұрын
@@CanonessEllinorwe call them standard, curvy, petite and tall already. So body type descriptors are set. They could do different outfits for each body type, but in same fabrics just like real fashion designers do. Maybe have a couple pieces that would work for all. Sell the pieces that fit every doll together in a $10 fashion pack and the others individually at $5 . And they should do shoe packs. Same color/style shoes, but one pair for each foot type. It feels like they're just trying to grab money out of parents pockets these days. They used to be more thoughtful about how they put things together and how people used their products.

I have been collecting the Barbie repro lines since 94. I have all the ones released since but these new dolls in the line namely P.J. and Teresa have seemed so cheap. Love their face sculpt and fashion but the doll itself is cheap. Would have loved them in the silk stone body. I bought P.J. but am on the fence on Teresa. This fashionista new line is beyond bad. Hope next year they amp up the lines especially with the resurgence of Barbie. Loved your video. Take care!

They are absolutely gorgeous! the faces are perfect finally we have the Odile sculpt in the playline, the colors are nice and the tails are perfect, finally after 21 years they give us simple tails with only colorful scales, i will buy them all
