I’m not typically a fan of the birthday Dolls gimmick, however, I love them is doing a Rapunzel birthday doll. It just makes so much sense with her story that her birthday would be a big deal to her so I might get that one actually because it looks really cool and fun.
I got the Rupaul doll for $50 and honestly the price was the main reason I got her. The detail and quality is definitely there. As I keep saying, these high end "collectors" dolls that Mattel keeps charging $100+ for are WAY overpriced. The fact that so many of these dolls are still available on Mattel Creations and not sold out show the prices are too high.
I have been thinking that mattel should make a line of Barbie's where the dolls are inspired by different styles. Like a y2k popstar, street style, a glamor girl, a mcbling style or an emo or grunge doll. And then on the bakc of the box it can tell you about their style, what it means to them and who they are inside. You know, something cute , cool, and edgy that could stand out and be different or innovative.
My immediate thought when I saw the Rainbow High littles pic was ‘Oh, how the mighty have fallen’. I can’t believe that is the direction they’re choosing to go.
I love the Pixlings❤ I rebodied Amber (the dragon) with Lorna McNessie from Monster High and it’s just perfect. Since I really got into collecting the MH painted faces are rarely still giving for me. Though I got a Cleo G3 (never thought that lol) to have a body for another doll and want to use the head because she‘s so pretty. Maybe I‘ll have enough practice in repainting one day. But the faces of the Pixlings, love them so much. I decided to probably not get Unia, Derlee and Marena (ok maybe they’re on sale now) because the Shimmerverse dolls look so good and I want those version and also the Bear one❤
The dream besties's faces looks nice.Their hairs are cute and the outfits too but the shoes are too simple. Would be cute to see star shoed or a big bow on Teressa's heels to match her clothes. I used to have a Bratz doll with her boyfriend; she had an adorale beret, her clothes were soft and her black vest was pretty. Her hair too plus she had sunglasses, a coffee cup, a purse AND i could removed her foot and put differents shoes. That was fun! I sadly lost her but had nice memories of this doll 🥰
I don’t if this could ever be confirmed. But I find it troubling seeing the cheapening quality of playline at Mattel because I feel that it’s a more direct line to landfills. I imagine the toys of Mattel past were more worthy of saving, purchasing at the thrift etc.
I believe the entire purpose of the Dream Besties is to attract those who, like me, aren’t fond of the more ‘realistic’ Barbie face sculpt. I’ve never been a fan of Barbie, but I certainly have my eyes on those.
their faces really remind me of ever after high dolls and one fo the reasons like you said why i like ever after high more than barbie is for the unique and fun face molds
@@staytinyengene I’m convinced that the Besties are a mix and spiritual successor of both Ever After High and My Scene, which, in my opinion, were among the best head sculpts Mattel has ever done.
when i look at dream besties all i can think off is ever after high pacifically apple white, cedar wood, briar beauty and raven queen just there face sculps are reminiscent of those characters and what there dolls probably would look like in todays reboot era
Out of the Dream Besties Brooklyn’s outfit is the most realistic except the shoes , the rest look like Mattel couldn’t decide if their princesses, or actually modern teens.. I’m happy they didn’t use the Barbie sized heads, because if they did there’s no need buying them just by Barbie instead.
The Addms Family dolls are not inspired by the Netflix series but by the animated film that came out a few years ago. The Wednesday dolls from the Netflix series will be released soon
6:35 a thought just came to mind that would SERVE In addams family values, Joan Cusacks character Debbie in that spectacular feathery silk robe She was the most beautiful in that movie
If i create a doll line; i would make one based on fantasy creatures like: Phoenix, dragons, centaurs and pegasus. Each doll would come with 3 differents outfits, a brush, cost 30$ and they would have rainbow skin; silver for the pegasus, purple for the dragon, green for the nymph etc. It's like the Monster high dolls but based on creatures instead of monsters. A cool concept 😀
@@ArtTasticCreations I've always wondered the official names for these figures. They're pretty popular in the UK and I always like checking them out when I visit Smiths and I am always blown away by the quality of these things. Like they are propper solid plastic. Like these things are sturdy and they're so detailed in the molding and paintwork. And the dragons, man! Their wings actually move and their often so to their jaws. I've never gotten one because I just don't collect that type of thing but damn if these aren't tempting.
@@kayleighbrown459 I have a fairy and some other figures but I'm planning on getting more because I love them. They are amazing, probably some of the best fantasy toys out there I've seen.
The Lol Tween Mermaid dolls have color changing tails so I think that’s acceptable as a reason why they have a lot of plastic. Also one thing you’ve missed about the dolls is if you look closely at the close up you made in the video, you can see there is a gap in the tail signaling that the tails are articulated and you can actually sit the dolls down or pose them in swimming positions which is a lot more than what can be said if the Barbie mermaid dolls from the past ten years. I hope that little detail makes you more excited for those dolls.
I actually love the Barbie Dream Besties and the Rainbow High Littles. I have 2 of the Rainbow High Littles at the moment, and they are just so bloody adorable. Will definitely get all of them!
Apparently I’m literally the only one to notice the hip/tail articulation on the Lol Tween Mermaid dolls. I noticed it immediately as soon as the close up of the dolls appeared on screen.
I dunno, I really like the dream besties head mold! I’ve always been way more interested in fantasy-esc dolls than realistic ones. Though I get that the face can be a big decider for a lot of people. I knew I couldn’t really get into bratz cause I didn’t care much for the faces, so I guess it goes both ways.
You have the most perfect personality and sense of humour for this platform. Love your reviews Joey! The new dolls that intrigue me enough to possibly buy are the Brooklyn and Renee dream besties, allllll the new Pixlings, and the Pearla OMG BFF.
im excited for the new barbie line but i HATE the eah looking head molds. the round-pancake look is just so ugly to me and i really do wish they would’ve have more "structured" head molds. the feet also look weirdly tiny to me and i wish they could’ve been more proportionate tbh; something like the mh foot mold would’ve been better.
off topic but i got my first disney ariel doll at disney & her red hair feels amazingggg. one of my earliest memories is showing my parents how beautiful ariel’s hair was on a doll as a kid. (my fave childhood movie)
Love your channel and getting up-to-date Doll News! 💖 I love a lot of these, but I am SO over printed details! Unreasonable in 2024 I know, but they are so disappointing! Definitely wish Mattel would step up the quality! LOL and you are so right on those RH littles 😂 they are heinous!
As a doll collector who only collects princess Dolls (and 90s Dolls for nostalgia reasons) i think doll makers are concentrating more on todays trends and contemporary fashion ..i really think they should re-do a classic princess line with good quality dresses and detail..last time he saw them was decades ago. And yes Barbies take on rainbow High and Bratz should of had the long trousers and long hair to be more stunning..i dont think they are necissary becsuse of cry baby teens,rainbow high etc but an ok idea.
The mermaid tweens are cute imo as a mom to a 3 year old she will like them in the tub. Some of the mermaid dolls have had issues with not being really PLAYABLE in the water. Yes we don’t ever seen to get quality like we did in the 90s and 00s but I still think they look cute and good addition to her things she loves her mermaids in the water
The best part of the Lol Tween Mermaid dolls that Joey hadn’t even noticed is the fact that there is tail articulation at the hips! He’s been complaining for quite some time now how disappointing it is that Barbie has done away with articulation at the hips and tail for mermaid dolls.
Lalaloopsy Littles are way better than Rainbow High Littles could ever be! The Dream Besties look like Ever After High mixed with Barbie, which is neat! :)
The package of the Dream Besties says there will be cartoons on UA-cam. So, their style is probably based on the animation of the show and NOT Bratz or LOL OMG.
Hi Joey! Great review 😎 Love the Dream Besties! Giving Barbie Extra vibes 😁 Will be getting them. I got the Barbie and Ken Fashionista inspired by Totally hair! They are stunning 🤩 The hair is not to the floor but is crimp tastic! May have to get doubles 😁
I wonder if the plastic over cloth clothing is a matter of cost, easier to make a mold for a machine to pop out the plastic clothes vs paying someone to sew the tiny cloth clothes? Someone who works in manufacturing would know better than me, but that's my guess.
I hate how all these companies keep cutting corners! Its so frustrating. I keep saying to my partner im going to make a doll line one day that will have mattel and mga fuming
Your reaction was priceless when you watced/talked about MGA rainbow high littles... i laughed my a§§ off... and i agree... the worst from rainbow high dolls and from mga's dolls i think...ths defa lucy doll withebonjour top and maxi skirt... wrh... i dont want a pièce of clothing with that pattern.. one time on a top its okay but its not fashion at all loll.. and im a french from quebec Canada so...😊
My 6 year old daughter will love the Barbie Dream Besties. I hope there will be a TV show to go with them. I am just disappointed that there are never Indian dolls to represent my daughter. Even the Barbie Looks line that has tons of diversity has no Asian Indian doll.
For next video, rank all the princesses you own(non disney preference) rupunzel has quite a lot of versions please. Thanks ..a 90s girl fan from italy!
The Besties are cute and like you, I would've loved to have seen them do the Original Wednesday and Morticia doll. I have not seen the new show because it is already canceled, so for me, there's no point. I am disappointed in the looks of the Defa Lucy dolls as well. They can do more with these, I hope they still do. Great video.
You've gained so much respect from me that you also don't like the Wednesday TV show much! Nothing against people who do of course, but as an Addams family fan I feel like it was really against what the Addams family stood for. And yes, the 90's movies were AMAZING. They taught me so much about actual love, they're very inspirational. Unironically cinema.
I love Joey's honest reactions. The way he gasped at the plastic top on the Rainbow high mini...I'm screaming 😂
Mattel made mini poly-pocket barbies, and a house and car! I think they are SO CUTE!!
I’m not typically a fan of the birthday Dolls gimmick, however, I love them is doing a Rapunzel birthday doll. It just makes so much sense with her story that her birthday would be a big deal to her so I might get that one actually because it looks really cool and fun.
It's so nice to see a UA-camr also hate the Littles so much too ☺️
He artwork is pretty cute, if they looked more like that I would like them. But they are ugly 😅
*the lol
I’m sorry Brooklyn Barbie looks great! It’s more of a USA look. It’s New York look.
Mixling Pixling...regular size fashion doll ? I'm interested!!
I got the Rupaul doll for $50 and honestly the price was the main reason I got her. The detail and quality is definitely there.

13:34 Joey your reaction to this doll is hilarious
I love how Aurora’s dress is fading from pink the blue like in the movie!

Oooooo I’d live for that. That’d be so cute
@@JayeKisses fr tho ,it'd be AMAZING 👏 🤩
That wood be AMAZING!!!
My immediate thought when I saw the Rainbow High littles pic was ‘Oh, how the mighty have fallen’. I can’t believe that is the direction they’re choosing to go.

Lmao they look Chloe Sasha Yasmin and jade
@@Exxylux the Bratz? Yeah, I think the whole idea behind My Scene was copying Bratz.
100%
The Ru Paul doll looks faaaaaabulous!
It’s nice but I think the hair should have been slightly taller and fuller looking.
looks like a demon
9:32
I said “slay” out loud at the exact same moment 😂
We love a high heeled ice skate!
And the Fashion Doll version of the Pixlings?? P L E A S E
I have a Rapunzel doll from 2012 and her laces are real so it’s sad to see this Rapunzel doll however she still is really cute and higher quality
the addams family ones give me child friendly living dead dolls vibes
when i look at dream besties all i can think off is ever after high pacifically apple white, cedar wood, briar beauty and raven queen just there face sculps are reminiscent of those characters and what there dolls probably would look like in todays reboot era

Shut up and take all my money.
You should look into Schleich Bayala. They make pretty much every fantasy creature and their molds are amazing.

I agree about the trousers. All of Ken's fashion packs seem to have shorts these days.
The Addams Family dolls are for the newer animated movies not the Netflix show

I would love if Mattel added lgbtq and disabled historical figures to the inspiring woman line for June and July for LGBTQ and disability pride months
"the bar is really on the floor" 🤣
The Dream Besties line reminds me of My Scene...
The Defa Lucy dolls remind me of Detox. 😂
I’m so excited for new Mattel Besties dolls 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Hello Joey I love your take on history of barbie and her friends. Could you please make a video on the history of the dolls of the world. Love you 🥰

Hey, Joy, will you plan to do the review for 2023 Barbie advent calendar? The latest one seems really cute. And I love your advent calendar series❤❤❤❤
The VIP dolls are a spin off to the vip pets line
barbie fashionistas 2024 you should do for your next video
I have Red Romance Barbie
I think the frozen dolls do look like them in the movies imo 🫢
I wonder if the plastic over cloth clothing is a matter of cost, easier to make a mold for a machine to pop out the plastic clothes vs paying someone to sew the tiny cloth clothes? Someone who works in manufacturing would know better than me, but that's my guess.
Actually, their faces remind me of their Ever After High dolls. Round faces, with big eyes
these are EAH facesculpt it was first thing come to my head when i sawe them.
I really want the Dream Besties. They're so cute.
Barbie dream Theresa kinda reminds me of every after high briar beauty.
agreed re: dream besties...wondering if these are new body types and a different size?
Dream Besties seem cute so far, I need to see them to decide though.!
First! Im your biggest fan joey! Everytime you upload something I'm always excited to watching your videos!!
13:15 I think EVERYBODY has this reaction by seeing this "thing"... in a slightly more violent way! 🤢😆
I have so many omg dolls it is un believable I have like 1,000 of them and tons of the little lol dolls and also tons of the tweens dolls too
Love the rupaul doll
Everyone owes Jr Rainbow high a apology. After seeing Littles
the rainbow high little wouldn't have looked THAT bad, if the doll's top was made out of ACTUAL fabric, instead of molded on plastic.
UA-cam unsubscribed me 😢 was wondering why I wasnt getting my notifications. Been a subscriber and fan for years.
I hate how all these companies keep cutting corners! Its so frustrating. I keep saying to my partner im going to make a doll line one day that will have mattel and mga fuming
I love Barbie Dream Besties, especially Renee who look like Newjeans member huhuhu kpop+barbie=HAPPINESS
Also the mini barbie land single dolls belong in poundland, not being sold for a fiver each!

My favourite series from you :-) 🤗👍🏼
