Hi everyone! My name is Rachel, and I have been been a doll collector since about 2011. Monster High was my first love, but now I am into many doll brands with my favorites being those that lean towards a goth or edgy aesthetic. I aim to spread knowledge about some of the more obscure doll brands I love such as BeGoths and LDD Fashion Victims, and simply to share my collector journeys. Thanks for stopping by!
Why I Stopped Buying Dolls in 2024
Hello all, and welcome back to my channel! It's been a couple years, and this kinda explains why. I haven't bought many dolls lately and I wanted to have an open chat about it. Let me know your thoughts and if you relate to any of this stuff. Happy new year!!!

Bleeding Edge Goths Siphon Veins Exclusive Doll Review
Переглядів 2032 роки тому
Today I bring you another Bleeding Edge Goths doll review! This is another one of my out of box dolls, the exclusive Siphon Veins. I'm not sure what she was exclusive to, a lot of these details remain obscure when it comes to a doll line this old. I also discovered that there are two variants of this doll, one which comes with a choker and slightly different face paint than mine. Hope you found...
Yummi-Land Ice Cream Pop Girls 13 Inch Dolls! Renee Rainbow Ripple and Betsy Bubblegum Review🧡💖
Переглядів 5672 роки тому
Today I bring y'all another obscure doll review, this time for the Yummi-Land dolls produced by MGA from 2006-2008 or so! The dolls are usually small (around 5 inches) and come with a distinct soda or food theme, a pet, and a strong scent. At one point they decided to turn their Ice Cream Pop Girls into tall 13 inch dolls, and those spoke to me the most as an enjoyer of awkwardly large dolls. T...
Moxie Teenz Doll Collection and Chat! Arizona and Melrose Review💖
Переглядів 5662 роки тому
I've been dying to talk about Moxie Teenz ever since receiving my Arizona in the mail recently. Not only is this line stunningly gorgeous, but the main purpose of my channel is to talk about doll lines that don't tend to get a lot of screentime here on UA-cam. Though these dolls can be sought after, I don't see a lot of in-depth videos sharing the details about them. A lot of this video ended u...

BLEEDING EDGE GOTHS DOLL COLLECTION - All My BeGoths🖤
Totally get you. I’m really meticulous with my budget and “must haves” now. Granted, I do typically buy preowned but there’s no denying that collecting is an expensive hobby!
It's good to be in tune with what you can afford and balancing life and future goals. Life is more important and yes dolls are a luxury. Thanks for sharing!
Relatable especially the newer rainbowhigh😂. And I only buy dolls on clearance now. No fomo anymore
I've stopped, too, influncers getting them for free or the special ones given to them. Others buying up to 4...really you need 4 of the same doll and third party sellers. Can't find Jinafire anywhere here in Canada or Amazon unless it's third party upselling it. Not enjoying collecting anymore in any way due to all this. 😢😢😢
I've actually been going back and buying old dolls like the lil bratz that I missed out on as a child. Not really buying any new dolls I just want older toys and I'm looking into blind box bjds.
You laid out really good reasons. I was kinda glad when RH started its decline, easier on my wallet. Last November, I decided I'm devoting my time to restyling the dolls I have and doing some minor face painting. When I start looking for dolls to buy, I redirect towards a project doll. I'm sure I will buy dolls in 2025, but I am aiming to love the dolls I have instead of being stuck in the buying loop
I'm glad you could relate! Thank you for watching :)
The thing is there nothing worth in playline anymore, I really love Monster High, and G3 is doing really great stuff, but they just don't measure up in design and quality with what Rainbow High and lol omg were offering before 2024 and ever since I never been whoaed by a playline doll. I still collect them, but more like they it that dopamine kicks in wait of something better, but if nothing comes along, I'm happy with my current collection and will move on to another of my hobbies .
I agree with you. I stopped buying dolls in 2022 and still don't. But I still appreciate my small collection of left dolls (I sold most of them).
Thanks for sharing. Doll collecting IS prohibitively expensive in these hard times. I find I value the dolls all the more when I can only buy absolute must haves. Curating is very satisfying too when there aren't constantly new dolls to deal with. Best of luck to you in your new space.
Agreed. Thank you!!
I agree with you, the skullector line this year was soooooooo boring. I didn't bother getting any this year, and i'm also a big fan of the line.
I’m looking forward to your new videos! I’m a big G3 fan and if you have a collection I would love to see it :)
I jus found your channel with this video and also watched your doll display update :) I agree with a lot of your sentiments and makes me want to reflect on my collection too :)
Really interesting - I agree with a lot o what you said for sure. I feel so done with buying playline dolls. I doubt I'll be buying much in 2025 - just a few here and there.
Great video! I'm excited to hear more updates! ❤️
Thank you! <3
Enjoyed the video! Good to hear from you again. You were the person who got me interested in Begoth dolls. I thank you for that. Yes they're now expensive. However I'm "slowly" building my collection along with all the other brands I collect. Anyway, glad all is well and looking forward to future videos! (And thanks for your reply to my other comment)
Thank you for your support! I'm glad I put you on to BeGoths, they're an amazing line. Hopefully I can get some new ones this year! Looking forward to posting more :)
I meant choker and bat.
The other version, in addition to the choker and cross, has red nails and a yellow ring. I enjoyed your videos. Hoping you return someday.
Thank you so much! I am planning to return this year :)
Only 666 of the red Lilith were ever made!
I have a couple of the vinyl figures and am hoping to get at least one of the dolls
I just discovered your channel. I really enjoy your videos. You've got me interested in "Bleeding Edge Goth Dolls". Are you comings back? You haven't posted a video since November 2022. Anyway, I hope all is well. Thanks!!!
i want to collect these beauties soon i think the craftsmanship and detail in them is so stunning
Back in the day, they sold these at Spencer's. Angelina was my first two 💖
Also there used to be a site that had little profiles for each of the dolls with their likes, dislikes, pets, etc and it was so cute 😭
do you know what year this doll came out? I have Serpentina from this series and I LOVE her to bits. I am a scorpio so I'd love to find her. Serpentina has amazingly soft and beautiful hair so I wonder why Scorpio doesn't! Anyways, lovely video I just made a video of restoring my serpentinas banana face hahha
do you know what year series 3 came out??
Omg I love her
Yes I’m obsessed ❤
i have 3!!! these are so hard to find!! ma Fav!! LULU!! on roler skares!!!
oh wow these look so good!! i never heard of these dolls before, i stumbled upon this video bc i was looking at monster high doll reviews lol. they all look so beautiful
I just got three as a gift, they’re pretty old with beat up boxes and dusty but i fell in love Now I’m watching videos on them
Hands down my fave line by the Ldds. Was a dream come true completing this line🖤
I love moxie teenz dolls. There really beautiful
Lol, I thought I was the only one that collected these. I should see if I can find them.
Alucinante coleccion
Oh wow how many series are there? I've always wanted to collect but I'm so glad you are! They are very loved and taken care of
There were 8 series total, so actually quite a few! And thank you so much :)
Es una de mis begoth favorita scorpio vixen, a mi me costo muchisimo conseguirla La mia llego igual en caja muy muy amarilla, tambien tengo subido el video en mi canal por si quieres ver la mia 😊
Yo colecciono esas muñecas!!! Te sigo 😊
Woah, this collection is amazing I found these not so long ago and I'd like to have even one doll ❤
I have a collection of these, you don’t know how hard this doll line to find. It took me two years to collect Moxie Teenz dolls. They’re more like the cheap versions of BJD. Think the dolls was discontinued because they’re expensive. I love these dolls so much when the commercial came out, I wasn’t too into the wig gimmick. They worth the price. Sad these was slept on. I remember wanting these dolls so much. Hated the wigs for sure. They rereleased it’s first wave I’m late 2013. Moxie Teenz was certainly a mix of collector and playline.
hi I love your UA-cam channel it is cute I love you dolls videos like keep going ❤️
the plush line i really missed out on good to see one of them in box <3
I think siphon was a doll that was a passion piece for one of the designers with all the differences she has over every doll all the way to series 7 she is the only different one to my knowledge
I honesly as a collector feel sick seeing that exclusive out of the box I bought it in 2005 and regret pulling her out of the box then Also the coat is pop snaps easy pop off and pop on
I love La de daa dolls. I wish there were more to collect. They are some of my favorites and I have a huge monster, ever after and rainbow high collection. What a great deal!!
I agree, they are so nice and artistic! Thanks for watching :)
I love this video! I cannot believe that Gloria Phobia was only $6.99. I'm so glad that these are avaliable in the UK and for decent prices. I recently bought 3 more girls making my collection 11 in total plus a kinder sized goth too. My all time favourite is Raven and she is the centre of my display! Peace and love xoxo
Thank you!! And that's awesome that they are available in the UK, I'm glad you get to add to your collection! They truly are amazing dolls :)
Similares a las monster high pero con un tono más oscuro
I had theses when they were newer and they were all full bendy and snap body’s at the time . I’m assuming the river body has harden over time
Oh cool, that is good to know! I'm sure I might be able to get it to work with some more force, but I'm too scared to damage them so I probably won't push it😂
they were never bend and snap, they are made of a rubber material which was inset with wire. :)
I wouldn’t call living dead dolls baby doll in style. They are just standard dolls Granted I only use baby doll for dolls of literal baby’s sense I don’t count fashion dolls as the standard doll
True, I guess I just meant they have more of a childlike body type since I'm more accustomed to fashion dolls personally! But yeah they're not the same as like a classic baby doll
