Collectors were robbed of a great doll for the Twist N' Turn Barbie. The prototype used the Steffie face, had a fringe, and the t-shirt dress was sheer over another dress 😭

Mattel aren't making the line look good, when the new fashions are like the 'Wish' version of the originals! I can see the cheapness of the fabric through the screen! xo

Even Rainbow High did a better job paying homage to Super Star Barbie with Priscilla than Mattel did with this fashionista

When they were presented side by side, i feel so sad for Barbie today 🥺🥺🥺

These 65th Anniversary Fashionista Dolls doesn't feel homages. They're more like budget dolls that just references Barbie's past for old time sake. The quality in Barbies today is very disappointing. Also wondering if you're planning do a doll history video about Kira (Barbie's first asian friend) since you did Christie. I love Kira's face mold she reminds me one of my aunts.

I was born March 1959 ,too. Me and Barbie still rocking it !

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.

This is the “Go Girl Give Us Nothing” from toys industry

I don’t know….. Fashion Fever line of dolls were way more “fashionable”…. Same with the Top Model line which was available at mass retail!

What i really love about that Draculaura doll is that she's a collector doll that isn't in a mermaid dress for once

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.

I wonder what the original designs for the fashionista outfits were. I can't imagine that they were that simplistic. Eta: I want 1, 2, 3, 5. Love the tribute Teresa doll.

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

In total agreement regarding the fashionista line and the cheep tee dresses! Looking forward to actually finding the new murmaid dolls!

I’d be so happy if they did a celebration every five years instead of every decade

The 90s Teresa dolls were stunning. They always reminded me of Phoebe Cates from the 90s (Drop Dead Fred, Gremlins, etc). Unfortunately my mum didn't like me having Teresa as my dad's first wife's name is Teresa. 😂🤣😂🤣

Mum on holiday shoes! Love it! With you on slogan T-shirt’s!

Glad you mentioned Mh dolls I asked my mother for my first monster high doll and and my first articulated ken doll from the movie kinda reminds me of the old ken doll from the 80s/90s talking about his face sculpt

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!

I agree, the clothes are just not what they were when i was a kid. I was telling a coworker about the Barbie Fashion Avenue line from the 90s. It was so chic! looked right out of vogue!

A better idea would remake the old outfits but in different sizes. Like a curvy body barbie in the Rockstar barbie outfit would be so good

You'd think that, given the advent of Integrity Toys, Mattel would do well to step up their game where their flagship franchise is concerned.

Fantastic! I'm looking forward to the 60th anniversary of Allan.

The twist n turn insp one was originally gonna have bangs and use the steffi sculpt

"They were old MAIDEN-type of shoes?" 😆

Meh! I will keep shopping dolls from 15 years ago! You find cool stuff!

The Rockers tribute Fashionista looks like the 1987 line when they all had a star pattern on their fashions. I loved the first several years of Fashionista.

Hi Joey I agree there are some nice fashionista

I am IN LOVE with the Teresa doll because my favorite color is yellow. Also, my birthday is coming up soon, so I'll have to tell my parents about this. And the original as well because I am a HUGE 80's lover too. 💛 UPDATE: I GOT IT!!! I GOT THE 35TH ANNIVERSARY THERESA DOLL!!! MY MOM BOUGHT IT FOR ME FOR MY BIRTHDAY! IT ARRIVED IN THE MAIL EARLIER TODAY AND WHEN I SAW THE MATTEL LOGO, I KNEW WHAT IT WAS!!! THANK YOU, MAMA! 💛

You are so right about the quality

I like the new hair color, it's cute!

I love the 3, 4 doll

As the giraffes from the Lion King 2 said "Disgraaaaaace"

I’m so excited for the 65th dolls they r so cute

I agree that the shoes should match the dress.

5:24 lol I love the tshirt dresses

There will be also collector Anniversary dolls for 65th anniversary.

The two Dreamtopia mermaids you like use the Odile head sculpt! It’s the first time it’s being used on playline dolls (to my knowledge) 🤩 A lot of people would love if Odile became the new head sculpt for “generic” Barbie.

I fr hate the peaches n cream shoes so much

I really love the new mermaids doll the odile face mold is insane

Great showcase on how much the quality of Barbies has dropped. New versions look like something you find in Dollar-stores or on Wish.

Another great video! 😊

The new fashionistas are hideous. I don't think they pay homage to dolls of the past. Not much thought went into them. The Teresa doll I absolutely love, the yellow dress is stunning and I'll definitely be getting her cuz my name is Teresa too

Look, i'm not a Draculaura fan, but THAT DOLL is chefs kiss! As a Transylvanian, we approve :))

Great video, Joey! (I think it's the first time I've heard you use an explative.) I think the Anniversary Teresa is a member exclusive. Mattel is slowly recovering some quality, but these playline dolls are definitely hit and miss.

I really don’t understand how they put considerably more effort into Monster High and even the Disney Princess line than Barbie? The faces also are so pixilated in person it’s almost shocking.

I enjoy watching your awesome beautiful amazing channel about dolls collection story's love love love love love it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

You are the best Joey

Omg the NY reference. I’m dead…….. 🤣

I've missed this dolls news videos! ❤❤❤ please keep making them

Have a good day ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I miss bendable knees hi Joey

I tried to guess the inspiration with each of these dolls and…think I got only one 😂😂😂

I think the frog-dog is adorable!:D

In your case Barbie animated movie dolls and franchise are unforgettable and masterpiece! You know that!

You know your dolls!

I'm very excited for the new Fashionistas. However, I'm sometimes not a fan of the flat shoes. This is why I give them Made To Move bodies, so they could wear heels.

I had the peaches and Cream barbie when I was a child. She was my absolute favorite then. These days I love my Medusa and Athena Barbie Special Editions

I think maybe another reason why the Fashionistas have those shapeless outfits and T-shirt dresses is to make outfits that will fit as many body types as possible so kids can put the outfits on different dolls. It also like you said makes them cheaper to produce.

I don’t like this ones. I would have liked maybe a reproduction of the original ones but with the new face molds. It’s kind of embarrassing that for an anniversary they used such low quality materials and designs.

i kinda want the new mermaids just for their heads lol, I would give them new bodies and clothes

I like the first Fashionistas dolls. The quality was impeccable. The dolls too. I don't like any of the latest ones. I don't see where they are channeling the inspiration dolls. I like the reveal Kira face doll. I want her. MiniME is a black Kira I made in the early 2000s. Thx for your channel. I love it. 💙🙏🏽💜

Wish they would make remakes of the 80s and 90s. I want my collection back my mom made me get rid of when we kept moving. Over 1000 80 and 90 barbies with all the playsets and doll houses. Found out the person i gave it to their kids destroyed all of it.😢

The Barbies that pay homage to old dolls are bad except for the one inspired by the first 1959 Barbie, she is so pretty, i will definitely buy her Honestly i'm tired of these basic dolls that want to have different outfits but they can' t because they have to save material, they should discontinue this boring Fashionistas line and replace it with a new line of dolls with made to move bodies, dressed only with a basic swimsuit and sell lots of epic high quality fashion packs separetly, returning to the original 60s marketing strategy I LOVE the new mermaids! 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

Great review!

I have my Barbies from the 80s and 90s and have recently been giving them to my daughter to play with I wish I could show which ones I have so you could identify their original names and what year they came out!

I bought the long-haired Ken fashionista to make my own “mini-me.”. The tank top and boots are nice, but the silver pants had to go.

Thank you for sharing this barbie doll's store I'm get the barbie doll thank you Joey

🤗🧡♥️😍🎈💕❤️🔥😍 I love fashionista Barbie dolls

Your opinions are always spot on!!!

Great video but soooooo disappointed in what the Barbies look like anymore. The Barbies during the 2009-2013 Fashionistas line were HOT!! Absolutely gorgeous!! They had exquisite eye makeup and great clubbing dresses. It’s been all down hill since 2014.

Have you seen this year's Holiday Barbie? I think it's an upgrade from last years but still underwhelming.

I love PJ. Wish she'd make a comeback.

Thanks for the review. I won’t be getting any of the new fashionistas. I have all the originals, happily. I could be tempted by the repro PJ.

Joey- I love Barbies and the new Barbie Fashionistas are beautiful.

The cat cutie reveal doll seems to be dressed as a fox.

They need to come out with a Grandma Barbie soon! 👵 🩷

I swear, half of these are so hard to tell what they're paying homage to. If you can't tell what the reference is, it's not a good reference.

OMG the first one, if you don't tell me what is that dress supposed to be, I would never realize! Bruuuuuh Well, this whole line screams lazy and cheap, I guess some outfits are cute to repurpose on a more articulate doll. Also the love for t-shirt dresses I feel is also to avoid form fitting clothes that will need more manufacturing time, and can't be shared with tother dolls who with different body shapes. Probably both. I love the purple mermaid, I hope I can find her someday. Lastly, could I ask you te react to the nendoroid Barbie please? I'm sure that video would be... interesting, to say the least lmao

I love the boy fashionistas though, there are a lot of good ones. For example, I have a batista with a man bun and then there is one with different skin tones and such cute clothing. Not all of them though, but i managed to find good ones.

May be related but in the USA, 65 is a milestone year for many adults as it’s typically seen as the official age of retirement (if you have the financial means). A possible reason for celebrating 65th anniversary

It was so nice to see a doll news video. It's been a while. I can't wait to see your video about Teresa! 🙂

They could have given 1959 barbie remastered hoop earrings

Mattel really needs to change Barbie's face mold..😢😢😢

Thank you for a very informative video You did a great job as usual.😊

I only buy fashionista's for their heads anyway and only if I can easily skin tone match them to a Made to Move body.

11:35 I can’t wait to see that! My sister and I were obsessed with Teresa, and some of Teresa’s dolls looked more like me and others more like my sister. It was the 90s and early 2000s, and Barbie did not care for consistency 😂

What I like about that limited edition Draculaura is in the back of her hair is a Barrette that has a heart in it that's called a Vampire Heart you can see and that was in the movie called frights Camera Action and I love how they incorporate that.

The Fashionistas have beautiful faces❤

1st doll yes I hate the blue shoes on the doll

Hi Joey

I enjoyed this❤❤❤

Real frogs are definitely cute! 🐸

7:04 those same boots (for anyone else that likes them) are on fashionista 185! Okay, back to watching disappointing “homage” dolls

Mattel put Barbie in the back burner and put American Girl and Monster High as top priority. I grieve for old Barbie but I do love MH & AG

Those fashionistas continue to make the name of the line look like even more of a giant question mark for me. 😅 Fashion? Where? Who? Not this!!

They also seem to make the t-shirt dresses and frumpy clothes because then it fits all the body types and looks good on none

Twist and turn doll is giving YOLO! For me it is a no no! I love Superstar Barbie. Getting two of her. Giving her a made to move body and Tribute first dolls shoes. Ugh! Flat feet 👣 My complaint as well. Ah! I would have loved a full gown. She is my favorite face mold of the decade. I want the Brooklyn MTM and make a Nubia custom doll. Ah! Teresa and me go way back. She was my first doll. The WNBA doll was also my favorite 🤩 I love the frog 🐸 dog doll! Getting two!

Theory, Maybe they never match the shoes so you spend a decent amount trying to find fashion packs singularly - or multiples of

Hi Joey. What do you think about the Disney store holiday Tiana doll?
