I'll never forgive my 13 year old self for getting rid of ALL of my 12 dancing princess dolls. Literally had all the sisters, Derek, the horse and carriage, the vanity set, ugh! Curse me for being "told old" for dolls.
She’s not rare but even after all these years, I still really want the Odette with wings. I had the one without wings, but a friend had the one with and that doll is like all I’ve ever wanted since. But I can’t justify the $150 lol
i was lucky to get her through a garage sale. She is the one doll i wanted really bad as well! Sadly mine cant light up her wings anymore. I really hope you will find her for a decent price ^^
I just recently bought Annalise’s barbie for around $100 so I’m trying to find Erica next but the sellers are starting to frustrate me. Like yes they’re “rare” but if you set a doll to be $500 no one’s gonna buy it and it’s just sitting in sellers basements collecting dust while there are fans that REALLY want the doll and will cherish it. UGH I JUST WANT THE DOLL FOR MY INNER CHILD😭😭
UPDATE: I managed to grab Erika but for a big chunk out of my wallet 😅 not $500 but def around $200. But I’m incredibly happy to have her and Annalise reunited!
@@kamtotay I have an old Erika doll that I really want to sell (aswell as mariposa) how much do you think I could sell them for? (Erika lost her voice)
I'll never forgive myself for giving away Princess Brietta when I was younger, she was one of my favorite dolls that I even rarely played with because she was just that pretty and pristine, life happens and now she's at price that I can never afford.
I had Erica and anneliese when I was a kid and I water damaged them during my Barbie bath parties and they sounded like they were possessed by creepy demons. My prized possessions
As a young girl when these dolls came out I can 100% confirm that the first doll from Mariposa and Alexa from Diamond castle were near impossible to find in stores. I know because I wanted them both so badly! Specifically Alexa I remember my mom and I looking high and low for and we just couldn’t find her so I had to settle for the blonde one. I was so excited to get Alexa because I have brunette hair and she had brunette hair and she would’ve been my first Barbie with brown hair but alas :’( IDK if they ever made a Melody (?) doll from that movie either but my mom and I also hunted for her and she was even on my Christmas wishlist! I never got her tho and idk if she even exists so :/
I had a Melody Doll! She was so pretty! My sister and I were obsessed with Diamond Castle and made our parents and grandparents look everywhere for the dolls.
My sister actually got the Melody doll in a giveaway on the German Barbie website 😂 I also vaguely remember that Alexa was in all the stores here? Right next to the Lianas. But I might remember things wrong. I only ever had a Liana.
I remember when I was little my grandmother gifted me the 2008 collector's Christmas barbie with the white dress. I used to try to take her out of her box until I realized that it was a "special" doll and tried to keep her in pristine condition. I still haven't forgiven my parents for giving her away because I loved that doll with my life and I haven't found her since. I'm afraid to think they threw it away 😔
When I was little my sister and I loved princess and the pauper. My sister got the annelise doll and I wanted the Erika one so bad. When it was my birthday the Erika doll was nowhere to be found in stores so I never got her. When I turned 18 my sister found an Erika doll online and got it for me. I was so happy
Ahhh nostalgia. I still have my Anneliese and Erica dolls. Sadly they're not in very great condition (a lot of my Barbies aren't 😬). I always wanted the 4 musketeer dolls but my parents stopped buying me Barbies as gifts around the time they came out (2011 or 12 I think?). Same with the 12 dancing princesses. That's one of my favorites and I wanted all 12 sisters, or at least the Genevieve doll but I only ever got the twins.😅
If you wanted (and were willing to spend the money), there are people who repaint or restore dolls that you could probably send them to. I want restore mine now that I have the supplies to do so.
Everything for Barbie Diaries is SO impossibly rare! The fashion pack set with Barbie's butterfly suit has been a holy grail for me for AGES but even when it pops up in a blue moon you're looking at close to $200 for it. And that's to say NOTHING of the two pillow stored playsets - both are shaped like pillows; one is the backstage/performance area and one is Barbie's bedroom which is my ULTIMATE grail. I just have had to make peace with never having anything from this movie, alas! 😫
I have all four of the muskateers in pretty good condition as my mom had the foresight to keep them away from me for most of the time XD. But even when they were on shelves we had a hard time finding Renee and Aramina, I think we drove to five different Targets to find the LAST ONES on the shelf because I was insistent on having a full set
I found used Alexa and Liana dolls on Ebay for really cheap, the only problem was that no matter how often the batteries were changed or if I pressed their hands both exactly at the same time, their singing would NEVER be in sync. Lol.
Elina changing her tail for wings has been a childhood dream of mine! Since... Well, my childhood! She was very expensive in my country and my dad couldn't afford it, he was very supportive of me loving Barbie and he would purchase many Barbie items for me :) He would watch the movies with me! He liked Princess & the Pauper 🥰
I started crying when you pulled out the Mermaidia Elina doll ... I had been gifted two of them as a child and they were my favourites to play with! But my brother sold all of my barbies when I was like 10 years old without asking me (many of which would be worth SO MUCH now) so I no longer have them unfortunately ):
This just makes me want to continue with my idea of finding the dolls that have been well-loved and then restoring them with my doll face-up Powers. They wouldn’t be collector’s kind of value, but having dolls I liked/wanted from my childhood would be nice.
The Elina Mermaida doll is my absolute favourite doll. Those wings are just too pretty, I totally understand why she is such a sought after doll even today. I remember playing hours and hours with her and throwing her around. I still have her and will never give her away, even though her wings have broken off because of what I did to her..
I remember having that Elina doll as a kid, though it was likely bought second hand since I never realised there was even supposed to be a mermaid tail included. It was still a pretty doll regardless. In general I rarely had new ones or any from specific movies. Once got the fashion fairytale one for my birthday and gosh I treasured that thing lol
Man, this list makes me so happy I never got rid of my Mermadia Elina doll. I also lowkey regret never getting Alexa because I had (and still have in storage somewhere) Liana.
Omg i still have my ericka's doll from when i was a kid and even tho is not in the best condition i would never sell her is very nostalgic for me. It was always my fav doll because she has brown hair, she had a blue dress instead if pink and the movie is just so goood
i knew the wedding set would be #1! whats crazy to me is that i had this set as a kid and i treated them just like all my other dolls. i have vivid memories of doing all kinds of crazy, wacky things with anneliese and julian and giving them insane story lines, throwing them around, etc. and now they are fancy collectors items LOL it blows my mind! i have no regrets of playing with them, but its just weird for me to view them as so expensive
10:27 brought back such a huge wave of memories that I didn't even remember having, so much that I had to pause the video for a minute because I cannot believe that I forgot about owning that doll until just now. I was not very nice to her and I remember taking her to the pool and absolutely trashing her wings, but wow, that's crazy.
Its funny coz our local(outdated) toy store at a mall still has the blue and green musketeer dolls for estimately 25$😆 its already been years and they're still on the shelves there. it's sad that there are not a lot of barbie collectors in the philippines
i had no idea the princess and the pauper erica doll was so rare. i recently found one in pretty damn good condition at a yardsale and got her, a 97 christmas barbie, the 1999 milenium princess barbie and a few others in really good condition ( not pristine but really nice considering it was from a yardsale) for like 10 bucks.
i wouldn’t consider her rare, because both anneliese and erika were mass produced and you can find them at thrift stores, garage sales, secondhand websites, antique stores, etc. erika is just more expensive and sought after and scalpers are taking advantage of the fact PATP is a very popular and loved movie amongst barbie fans and collectors
I have the mermaidia Elina doll without her skirt and tail and wings unfortunately. But since I got her at a garage sale for a couple dollars when I was a child I'm fine with it. I also have brietta as a pegasus with her wings. I don't know how rare she is because I can't even find her listed anywhere
I collected my dolls even at a young age, usually only doing "set ups" rather than playing with them. My father got rid of all my dolls behind my back and the part of my collection that I'm still heart broken over is my 2002 Midge pregnant doll, I had everything from that collection and its basically impossible to find here in Canada.
Omg I had that doll! And then years later I found out it was apparently "controversial" because how dare you give children a pregnant doll lmao Luckily, my parents weren't pearl clutchers. They taught me all that stuff really young, and the end result is that I broke my family's long standing tradition of teen pregnancy, because I actually knew how to avoid it.
Omg I had the wedding set from island princess but I had it as a kid so obviously it was very played with but I do still have them in my attic! 😭😂 he was my only male doll for ages. And I had the Elina mermaid fairy doll, I always played with her in the bath.
I remember the Barbie Diaries release was close to my birthday, so I ended up getting two identical Barbies, one of which I ended up exchanging for a Raquelle at the toy store. Had no idea they were rare!
Man I have a bunch of the Barbie movie dolls from 2001-2005ish from my childhood, but they’re somewhere in storage 😭💔 I neeeeeeeed to find them. But also I really love my Wizard of Oz Barbies (namely Dorothy) 🥰
I had the Merfairies from Mermadia, I remember taking a bath with them as a kid. Then there's Lumina and Sunburst from Fairytopia Magic of the Rainbow, I don't know why but I never got like the Main Characters (Barbie) 🥲 but I think I had Odette but without her wings I really wanted Brietta n Annika as a kid and also Erika, but yeah too expensive for my parents 😅
I got that Brietta doll for Christmas one year and I remember valuing her very highly because she wasn't featured in the Sears Wishbook with the other Pegasus dolls. She's still one of my favourite Barbies ever.
I love that you love Beauty Inside a Box too!! (Also wow now I want Barbie Diaries Raquelle too). My number one is still Odette, who is not that rare but is still expensive. I had her as a kid and want her back
I had the Barbie Mermadia when I was a kid! She was stunning, but unfortunately I didn't took much care of her (probably because my parents gave me when I was 4-), so in the end Elina was donated :') She was my 2nd Barbie tho so it was a very important doll to me
i feel so lucky to have one of the 12 dancing princesses nib! my mom bought her for me when the movie first came out ( we have the same name and i did ballet as a kid ), and when we moved a few years ago she got put into storage. i recently was able to dig her out, and she looks the same as i remember
My daughter had about 90% of these dolls growing up. She was born in 2002, so it was the glory days of these Barbie's and the movies. In fact she's 20 and still is hanging onto the DVDs. She had the Princess and the Pauper castle, had all the playsets and dolls from Princess & the Pauper, 12 Dancing Princesses, Island Princess, some Rapunzel. Even has ornaments of all those Barbie's she hangs on the xmas tree every year. Erika also came with a Swing andTea Party set, only saw that at KB Toys back in the day. Same with a lot of the Happy Family dolls, the dollhouse we got at Toysrus. Blair was hard to find back then even, in fact a lot of the individual 12 Dancing princess dolls that were not in a 3 or 2 pack were. Such a great video. Thanks.
I love this video, and I remember having a Barbie diaries doll that sings and has a Barbie diaries diary too . And I also still have my mariposa doll .
The playtime barbies are so much more worth to me than the collectors. I would pay more for them than the others any time. Because they hold actual emotional value and priceless memories instead of just prettiness.
I also really want these dolls, but I also would die for the Fashion Fairytale doll, because that is one of my favorite Barbie movies that gets slept on and the dress is just so gorg
I had the Dandelion and the Erica dolls when I was a kid and I'm really sad because they were both completely demolished from all the years of play. I am still glad I have those memories of playing with them though.
Omg your hair looks so cuuuute! I haven't seen a video from you for a while so maybe this isn't new anymore but still, it looks adorable on you, loved the change.
Omg, the only barbie doll I had in my childhood was Dandelion! She’s really pretty. I think I still have her somewhere in my house, though she doesn’t look as fresh today 😅 but I still love her with all my heart
oh wow seeing the comments.. we all have something in common: giving/passing down our precious barbie dolls for the sake of 'growing up'.. i have the first 9 film version dolls since the nutcracker until the fairytopia.. but gave away the nutcracker and rapunzel, idk where my odette is and passed down the blue fairytopia. The rest i still have them pristine inside the original box. my most fav is odette bc if her dress but instead i lost her.. and i found out now they are collector's item it's just crazy😭
I remember seeing the Barbie Musketeers dolls on the shelf when I was a kid and really wanting Aramina because I thought she was the prettiest. I went for LPS instead of Barbies for Christmas/Birthday gifts, but as an adult I've compiled a list of dolls I'd love to get. Hopefully I can get an Aramina one day. Also omg I have Brietta's dress! My neighbors gave me some of their old Barbies, so they might've given me her! But she was in rough condition, so eventually I gave her away, but I still have her dress albeit it's super torn. Very pretty, though, I love the shine!
as a kid my parents got me new barbie dolls and their plush animals everytime a new movie released. luckily they never threw them ayway, so now I get to enjoy them again over 13 years later
I remember walking through Canadian Tire a few years after The Princess & the Pauper released, and i was browsing their dinky little toy section & i have such vivid memories of seeing the wedding set dolls there, as well as all the other Princess & The Pauper line. I remember wishing i was an adult soooo bad so i could buy them all, cus even a few years after the fact; i was fascinated with the dolls from that movie, and just that movie in general. I left Canadian Tire broken hearted, without any of the line. Sigh/ if only i knew
I think I still have an Aramina doll somewhere. She used to be probably one of my favourite dolls because three musketeers remains my all time favorite barbie movie✨
I used to have a lot of Barbie dolls from the movies but I sold them all in a yard sale years ago and now I really want to find them again! I’m just glad I still have the movies
I had one of those! Me and a childhood friend (me, brunette and her blond) loved that movie as a kid and would play out stuff with the dolls all the time. I think I still have it somewhere in the attic.
Alexa is the only Barbie doll I still have from when I was little, I didn't play with her a lot so she's still in great condition & I love her so much!! I also had Dandelion as a kid and can confirm she's gorgeous.
I have the Renée Musketeer doll ! She was one of those dolls I begged to have for christmas. I treated her like a national treasure. I don't think I will ever let go of her, as she was really important to my childhood. I remember finding the gimmick of the ballgown turned cape really fun, and i was also really fond of the foil (or is it a rapier ?). Since I was curious, i looked up on ebay to see if there was any listing, and there is one Renée doll out of box for around 25 bucks (seller is from Malta) for those interested !
My most memorable birthday was when my brother bought me the Barbie Diaries dolls and movie. I wore out the guitar. Growing up I had at least two bins of Barbie’s, two small houses, the blue bug, and the pink van. Due to my mom working for American girl I also had some of the AG dolls. Due to “growing up” I got rid of everything. Now with my adult money I recollected the AG dolls, but I’m waiting until I have kids to look into Barbies. I still have Barbie Diaries and Princess & the Pauper on DVD
Complete Mermaidia doll is quite difficult to find here in our country. She gets expensive especially when she has her tail, same as to Erika. If she still has her flower crown you can bought her for around $60 here in our country. For me the rarest barbie movie doll who was very indemand,very expensive, and hard to find in my country is the Rainbow lights Elina and Brietta magic of the pegasus human form. You can bought them without box for $100 above which is very expensive for us collectors. Edit: I strongly agree that all of this dolls were quite rare, and the price were unjustified expensive nowadays. But we all hope that we could find all these dolls and complete them as we wanted. All we need to do is just to wait for a chance that we will find them cheaper. Patience is a must for doll collecting❤️
This is such a fun video! For me in the US, the hardest doll to find from 12 Dancing Princesses is Ashlyn by a MILE. The other dolls in the collection are easier to find (obviously Genevieve, the twins & triplets are easiest) but whenever I look for Ashlyn, it’s a difficult task.
I purchased Annalise, Erika, and Dominic New In Box before the 2020 shut down and I was so happy I purchased them when I did. I also bought the Princess and the Pauper castle second hand and it was in good condition. It was missing the bell tower and the furniture. Sadly, I ended up donating the castle before I moved because I had no room to pack it.
My sister and I had the mermaidia doll so this video helps bring back some happy childhood memories! The doll was either put in the garage or thrown away...
I literally had the island princess wedding set when I was younger and didn’t even realise it was from that movie, they are no in the best condition now though :( I literally used to play with them all the time. I couldn’t get rid of any of my dolls especially monster high dolls :)
I found a renee doll from Barbie and the 3 musketeers not really expensive, i would buy it but recently i was looking crazily for corine Edit: SHE IS SOLD OUT (it was like 19 dollars (85 RON)) 😢
I recently just got into buying older barbies in box, and I wish I would have bought some of these dolls when they first came out, since they are so expensive now 😭 I would love to have any main barbie movie doll, but especially Odette from swan lake and elina from fairytopia. I am In love with their outfits,and I love how the elina doll comes with a little bibble! Maybe one day I'll spend the $150 for her 😂❤️
I specifically remember never seeing Renee in stores when I was little. Walmart had full shelves of Corinne, Viveca, and Aramina, but I never saw Renee 😢 I've seen her pop up on eBay a few times, but I've never had the money for a Renee when she happens to show up.
I have both Annaliese and Erika Dolls since i was 5 years old and they both come with music music's inside their bodies, anyways, the music still works! At one point i had the entire castle with horses and both Men dolls from princess and the Pauper! Unfortunately i did give away the castle with horses but i still have both Annaliese and Erika!
I had Tori, Erika (the more budget one) and Corinne, but I vividly remember wanting them all. There was this clothes shop somewhere that had stairs down to a room full of barbie dolls, It was my favorite place. Although I could only afford one sometimes, I just loved to go there and look at them. I loved the feeling of unboxing a new barbie. I think I wanted all the musketeers the most, but only got Corinne (thankfully). About Erika, I really wanted Anneliese, but it was the first brown haired doll that I remember owning. I also had a Bride Barbie and this other one with a fancy purple mermaid dress and a white fur thing. And I somehow remember having Annika's dress and that fur thing as well at one point in my life, but it vanished quickly as it came. The doll on the other hand, never had.
I remember my mom surprising me while having a really bad fever the Liana and Alexa dolls. I was so happy to receive them, now I look back and wonder why I decided it was a good idea to give those away. I still regret it to this day. I also had only Aramina (because she was my favorite)😭 and many others after 2007. Luckily I was able to find a wedding Erika and Anneliese for very cheap so I shall keep them forever
i’m so sad bc i have three of the musketeers but renee is impossible to find and i have all of the 12 dancing princesses except Ashlyn!! The only barbie (or character in anything) with MY name!!
I literally have all of these stuffed in a box somewhere but all their hairs look like a bird’s nest, their dresses has a shit ton of stains on them and some of them are just straight up naked coz I cannot find the dresses😁
I’m still mad at my dad for getting rid of all my dolls and toys when we “moved out” like even if we’re not coming back soon why would you get rid of my CHILDHOOD 😭😭😭
I'll never forgive my 13 year old self for getting rid of ALL of my 12 dancing princess dolls. Literally had all the sisters, Derek, the horse and carriage, the vanity set, ugh! Curse me for being "told old" for dolls.
I know exactly how you feel, I did that with my monster high dolls and some stuffed animals, makes me really depressed
Same! I got rid of them and trying to get them back is super hard 😭
I just sold her
Same😭
Parents should stop telling that in my opinion
I found secondhand Anneliese and Erika dolls for $17 each a few months ago and I still can’t believe I have them❤️❤️
Dang that’s so cool good for you
I found two of her in good shape at my thrift store and left them I didn't know they are expensive now
We’re they in box?
My parents have Erika and Dominic dolls still in box since it’s their names and I don’t think they’ll ever sell them 😂
I wanted Erika so much as a kid to go with Anneliese but never got her 😪
She’s not rare but even after all these years, I still really want the Odette with wings. I had the one without wings, but a friend had the one with and that doll is like all I’ve ever wanted since. But I can’t justify the $150 lol
i had odette with wings when i was little, when i was 11 ish i ended up moving and she got lost in the move and im still upset about it
I def have Odette with wings somewhere. But like not in box. I played with her
i was lucky to get her through a garage sale. She is the one doll i wanted really bad as well! Sadly mine cant light up her wings anymore. I really hope you will find her for a decent price ^^
@@jeannecaelum5167 thank you! :)
At least I got her but without crown, necklace, sleeves, original shoes. Her wings didnt work but ITS better than nothing

10:27 brought back such a huge wave of memories that I didn't even remember having, so much that I had to pause the video for a minute because I cannot believe that I forgot about owning that doll until just now. I was not very nice to her and I remember taking her to the pool and absolutely trashing her wings, but wow, that's crazy.
Its funny coz our local(outdated) toy store at a mall still has the blue and green musketeer dolls for estimately 25$😆 its already been years and they're still on the shelves there. it's sad that there are not a lot of barbie collectors in the philippines
Loc.? Is it from cebu, since i always heard that it always from cebu market
Wow, I love the Barbie Diaries dolls! Didn't even know they existed, and I adored that movie as a kid.
i had no idea the princess and the pauper erica doll was so rare. i recently found one in pretty damn good condition at a yardsale and got her, a 97 christmas barbie, the 1999 milenium princess barbie and a few others in really good condition ( not pristine but really nice considering it was from a yardsale) for like 10 bucks.
i wouldn’t consider her rare, because both anneliese and erika were mass produced and you can find them at thrift stores, garage sales, secondhand websites, antique stores, etc.
erika is just more expensive and sought after and scalpers are taking advantage of the fact PATP is a very popular and loved movie amongst barbie fans and collectors
I have the mermaidia Elina doll without her skirt and tail and wings unfortunately. But since I got her at a garage sale for a couple dollars when I was a child I'm fine with it.
I also have brietta as a pegasus with her wings. I don't know how rare she is because I can't even find her listed anywhere
I collected my dolls even at a young age, usually only doing "set ups" rather than playing with them. My father got rid of all my dolls behind my back and the part of my collection that I'm still heart broken over is my 2002 Midge pregnant doll, I had everything from that collection and its basically impossible to find here in Canada.
Omg I had that doll! And then years later I found out it was apparently "controversial" because how dare you give children a pregnant doll lmao
Luckily, my parents weren't pearl clutchers. They taught me all that stuff really young, and the end result is that I broke my family's long standing tradition of teen pregnancy, because I actually knew how to avoid it.
That Brietta doll is BEAUTIFUL!! ✨✨✨
I still have my childhood Barbie movie dolls (including the King Dominic doll!) 😂😂
Omg I had the wedding set from island princess but I had it as a kid so obviously it was very played with but I do still have them in my attic! 😭😂 he was my only male doll for ages. And I had the Elina mermaid fairy doll, I always played with her in the bath.
I remember the Barbie Diaries release was close to my birthday, so I ended up getting two identical Barbies, one of which I ended up exchanging for a Raquelle at the toy store. Had no idea they were rare!
Man I have a bunch of the Barbie movie dolls from 2001-2005ish from my childhood, but they’re somewhere in storage 😭💔 I neeeeeeeed to find them. But also I really love my Wizard of Oz Barbies (namely Dorothy) 🥰
I'm very happy to have found Liana and Alexa for around 70 dollars (the two together) here in Brazil.
I had the Merfairies from Mermadia, I remember taking a bath with them as a kid. Then there's Lumina and Sunburst from Fairytopia Magic of the Rainbow, I don't know why but I never got like the Main Characters (Barbie) 🥲 but I think I had Odette but without her wings
I really wanted Brietta n Annika as a kid and also Erika, but yeah too expensive for my parents 😅
I got that Brietta doll for Christmas one year and I remember valuing her very highly because she wasn't featured in the Sears Wishbook with the other Pegasus dolls. She's still one of my favourite Barbies ever.
I love that you love Beauty Inside a Box too!! (Also wow now I want Barbie Diaries Raquelle too). My number one is still Odette, who is not that rare but is still expensive. I had her as a kid and want her back
I had the Barbie Mermadia when I was a kid! She was stunning, but unfortunately I didn't took much care of her (probably because my parents gave me when I was 4-), so in the end Elina was donated :')
She was my 2nd Barbie tho so it was a very important doll to me
i feel so lucky to have one of the 12 dancing princesses nib! my mom bought her for me when the movie first came out ( we have the same name and i did ballet as a kid ), and when we moved a few years ago she got put into storage. i recently was able to dig her out, and she looks the same as i remember
My daughter had about 90% of these dolls growing up. She was born in 2002, so it was the glory days of these Barbie's and the movies. In fact she's 20 and still is hanging onto the DVDs. She had the Princess and the Pauper castle, had all the playsets and dolls from Princess & the Pauper, 12 Dancing Princesses, Island Princess, some Rapunzel. Even has ornaments of all those Barbie's she hangs on the xmas tree every year. Erika also came with a Swing andTea Party set, only saw that at KB Toys back in the day. Same with a lot of the Happy Family dolls, the dollhouse we got at Toysrus. Blair was hard to find back then even, in fact a lot of the individual 12 Dancing princess dolls that were not in a 3 or 2 pack were. Such a great video. Thanks.
I love this video, and I remember having a Barbie diaries doll that sings and has a Barbie diaries diary too . And I also still have my mariposa doll .
The playtime barbies are so much more worth to me than the collectors. I would pay more for them than the others any time. Because they hold actual emotional value and priceless memories instead of just prettiness.
Dandelion is my fave. She has a unique face mold (with the blue fairy Azura) with a sassy smile.
I also really want these dolls, but I also would die for the Fashion Fairytale doll, because that is one of my favorite Barbie movies that gets slept on and the dress is just so gorg
I had the Dandelion and the Erica dolls when I was a kid and I'm really sad because they were both completely demolished from all the years of play. I am still glad I have those memories of playing with them though.
Omg your hair looks so cuuuute! I haven't seen a video from you for a while so maybe this isn't new anymore but still, it looks adorable on you, loved the change.
Caitlin and Beauty Inside a Box cross-over episode?! Yay!!
That mermadia doll was my absolute favorite when I was little!
Omg, the only barbie doll I had in my childhood was Dandelion! She’s really pretty. I think I still have her somewhere in my house, though she doesn’t look as fresh today 😅 but I still love her with all my heart
oh wow seeing the comments.. we all have something in common: giving/passing down our precious barbie dolls for the sake of 'growing up'.. i have the first 9 film version dolls since the nutcracker until the fairytopia.. but gave away the nutcracker and rapunzel, idk where my odette is and passed down the blue fairytopia. The rest i still have them pristine inside the original box. my most fav is odette bc if her dress but instead i lost her.. and i found out now they are collector's item it's just crazy😭
I remember seeing the Barbie Musketeers dolls on the shelf when I was a kid and really wanting Aramina because I thought she was the prettiest. I went for LPS instead of Barbies for Christmas/Birthday gifts, but as an adult I've compiled a list of dolls I'd love to get. Hopefully I can get an Aramina one day.
Also omg I have Brietta's dress! My neighbors gave me some of their old Barbies, so they might've given me her! But she was in rough condition, so eventually I gave her away, but I still have her dress albeit it's super torn. Very pretty, though, I love the shine!
as a kid my parents got me new barbie dolls and their plush animals everytime a new movie released. luckily they never threw them ayway, so now I get to enjoy them again over 13 years later
Erika was always my favourite Character and it's the only barbie doll I still have in my childhood box 😄
Love!! I spent $125 on dolls this week. I really want the dolls from the original 5 movies but they cost so much! 😭
I still have my Erica doll. She’s complete except for her shoes and she can still sing 🥰
I have in complete but the dress is stain
I remember walking through Canadian Tire a few years after The Princess & the Pauper released, and i was browsing their dinky little toy section & i have such vivid memories of seeing the wedding set dolls there, as well as all the other Princess & The Pauper line. I remember wishing i was an adult soooo bad so i could buy them all, cus even a few years after the fact; i was fascinated with the dolls from that movie, and just that movie in general. I left Canadian Tire broken hearted, without any of the line. Sigh/ if only i knew
I think I still have an Aramina doll somewhere. She used to be probably one of my favourite dolls because three musketeers remains my all time favorite barbie movie✨
this week i found odette, with her wings, new in box from my local thrift store for $50. I still can't believe ittt
Wow, what a deal! Happy for you 😁
@@Liesiemooo thank you so much!!!
I was never a barbie girl, I played with my bratz way more but it was interesting to see how much they can go for
I own the Renée doll and I used it so much that almost everything (the dress, the cape, the mask) is broken😭😭
it would be cool to see you ranking all the barbie movie pets! or animal sidekicks of some kind
I used to have a lot of Barbie dolls from the movies but I sold them all in a yard sale years ago and now I really want to find them again! I’m just glad I still have the movies
Erica was the only barbie movie doll I had as a child. I got her for Christmas one year and was my favorite barbie doll.
I had one of those! Me and a childhood friend (me, brunette and her blond) loved that movie as a kid and would play out stuff with the dolls all the time. I think I still have it somewhere in the attic.
i wanted the elina doll so bad , i remember watching the commercials as a kid and it completly blow my mind that it could transform into a mermaid
Alexa is the only Barbie doll I still have from when I was little, I didn't play with her a lot so she's still in great condition & I love her so much!! I also had Dandelion as a kid and can confirm she's gorgeous.
You mean secret door or diamond castle
@@Simbala-bq5vy diamond castle!!
I have the Renée Musketeer doll !
She was one of those dolls I begged to have for christmas. I treated her like a national treasure. I don't think I will ever let go of her, as she was really important to my childhood. I remember finding the gimmick of the ballgown turned cape really fun, and i was also really fond of the foil (or is it a rapier ?).
Since I was curious, i looked up on ebay to see if there was any listing, and there is one Renée doll out of box for around 25 bucks (seller is from Malta) for those interested !
My most memorable birthday was when my brother bought me the Barbie Diaries dolls and movie. I wore out the guitar. Growing up I had at least two bins of Barbie’s, two small houses, the blue bug, and the pink van. Due to my mom working for American girl I also had some of the AG dolls. Due to “growing up” I got rid of everything. Now with my adult money I recollected the AG dolls, but I’m waiting until I have kids to look into Barbies. I still have Barbie Diaries and Princess & the Pauper on DVD
I actually had a Fairytopia doll with glass wings that my dad brought me back from Singapore and i‘m still so mad at myself for selling it 😑
Complete Mermaidia doll is quite difficult to find here in our country. She gets expensive especially when she has her tail, same as to Erika. If she still has her flower crown you can bought her for around $60 here in our country. For me the rarest barbie movie doll who was very indemand,very expensive, and hard to find in my country is the Rainbow lights Elina and Brietta magic of the pegasus human form. You can bought them without box for $100 above which is very expensive for us collectors.
Edit: I strongly agree that all of this dolls were quite rare, and the price were unjustified expensive nowadays. But we all hope that we could find all these dolls and complete them as we wanted. All we need to do is just to wait for a chance that we will find them cheaper. Patience is a must for doll collecting❤️
The pain in my heart, I had like all of these dolls and just gave them away to my moms friends kids. The regret is real.
I love the Beaty Inside a Box and this channel !!!!!!
This is such a fun video! For me in the US, the hardest doll to find from 12 Dancing Princesses is Ashlyn by a MILE. The other dolls in the collection are easier to find (obviously Genevieve, the twins & triplets are easiest) but whenever I look for Ashlyn, it’s a difficult task.
I know its been a while since you got bangs but that + the new length looks SO GOOD it really suits you and you look lovely
So much nostalgia, seeing all these dolls again!! Amazing video!!
I purchased Annalise, Erika, and Dominic New In Box before the 2020 shut down and I was so happy I purchased them when I did. I also bought the Princess and the Pauper castle second hand and it was in good condition. It was missing the bell tower and the furniture. Sadly, I ended up donating the castle before I moved because I had no room to pack it.
I still got erika from my childhood. She was my favourite
The Barbie movie dolls I’ve wanted for years is the full set of Kellie’s from the swan lake movie
My sister and I had the mermaidia doll so this video helps bring back some happy childhood memories! The doll was either put in the garage or thrown away...
I’d kill to have Annelise and Erica dolls simply because of comfort nostlagia (and I have DVD from back then it’d be a great merch addition)
Oh my gosh, I had at least three of these dolls as a kid! Why the heck did I not put them in my memory box?!!
I literally had the island princess wedding set when I was younger and didn’t even realise it was from that movie, they are no in the best condition now though :( I literally used to play with them all the time. I couldn’t get rid of any of my dolls especially monster high dolls :)
I found a renee doll from Barbie and the 3 musketeers not really expensive, i would buy it but recently i was looking crazily for corine
Edit: SHE IS SOLD OUT (it was like 19 dollars (85 RON)) 😢
I recently just got into buying older barbies in box, and I wish I would have bought some of these dolls when they first came out, since they are so expensive now 😭 I would love to have any main barbie movie doll, but especially Odette from swan lake and elina from fairytopia. I am In love with their outfits,and I love how the elina doll comes with a little bibble! Maybe one day I'll spend the $150 for her 😂❤️
I specifically remember never seeing Renee in stores when I was little. Walmart had full shelves of Corinne, Viveca, and Aramina, but I never saw Renee 😢 I've seen her pop up on eBay a few times, but I've never had the money for a Renee when she happens to show up.
I have both Annaliese and Erika Dolls since i was 5 years old and they both come with music music's inside their bodies, anyways, the music still works! At one point i had the entire castle with horses and both Men dolls from princess and the Pauper! Unfortunately i did give away the castle with horses but i still have both Annaliese and Erika!
I had Tori, Erika (the more budget one) and Corinne, but I vividly remember wanting them all. There was this clothes shop somewhere that had stairs down to a room full of barbie dolls, It was my favorite place. Although I could only afford one sometimes, I just loved to go there and look at them. I loved the feeling of unboxing a new barbie. I think I wanted all the musketeers the most, but only got Corinne (thankfully). About Erika, I really wanted Anneliese, but it was the first brown haired doll that I remember owning. I also had a Bride Barbie and this other one with a fancy purple mermaid dress and a white fur thing. And I somehow remember having Annika's dress and that fur thing as well at one point in my life, but it vanished quickly as it came. The doll on the other hand, never had.
I remember my mom surprising me while having a really bad fever the Liana and Alexa dolls. I was so happy to receive them, now I look back and wonder why I decided it was a good idea to give those away. I still regret it to this day.
I also had only Aramina (because she was my favorite)😭 and many others after 2007. Luckily I was able to find a wedding Erika and Anneliese for very cheap so I shall keep them forever
i’m so sad bc i have three of the musketeers but renee is impossible to find and i have all of the 12 dancing princesses except Ashlyn!! The only barbie (or character in anything) with MY name!!
I literally have all of these stuffed in a box somewhere but all their hairs look like a bird’s nest, their dresses has a shit ton of stains on them and some of them are just straight up naked coz I cannot find the dresses😁
I had all the Elina when I was in my elementary/middle school years! I miss them so much!!!
this hairstyle looks sooo good on you! wow!
I cry everything I think about how I had so many movie dolls when I was a kid and kept them in a good condition and regret passing them on 😢
I’m still mad at my dad for getting rid of all my dolls and toys when we “moved out” like even if we’re not coming back soon why would you get rid of my CHILDHOOD 😭😭😭
