Barbie Extra 5 & 6 were my first two Barbies I ever bought, thanks to channels like yours I've become a very enthusiastic collector. Thank you so much Barbination 🥰 I'd love to see a top ten Extra video!
I thought the Barbie Extra dolls were perfect for this modern generation and to get them involved in Barbie collecting, Barbie playing and Barbie world. I hate saying "good bye" as these are the dolls I bought for my 7 year old grand niece. It definitely got her involved in collecting Barbies. Thanks for the video.
Yes!!! Finally someone said it - the Barbie proportions. To me, it's been all about the proportions from the very start as well. The whole idea of a doll having these realistic and harmonious proportions is one of the genius and endearing things about Barbie, isn't it? Thanks for another great video, Arjen!💖
Dank je wel for the shout out. 💖 Loved this look back on Extra. I have heard of a Macy's Exclusive Extra Doll planned for this year that was cancelled too. It looks more and more unlikely that we'll be getting any more of them. 😓In any case, no matter the Barbie line, you can work your pastel magic on any of them like you always do. 😊
Awe really?! Gosh I would have love to pain myself and see what she would have looked like 🥲 Well, you’re most welcome ✌🏻🩷 And let’s hope for an awesome replacement for them, diverse girls with extra fashions instead of pets 😆 haha
Thank you for this video, which is the only explanation I could find out there about this line of dolls. There are a few Extras that I really like - the extra fancy with orange hair reminds me of Lilly Pulitzer prints and the pastel doll in the first group is just a great color palette.
The Barbie extra were mainly the line I bought of modern Barbie’s! (I mostly collect 80s & 90s) I love that they come with extra clothes and accessories so you can dress other dolls..also I’m obsessed with fantasy hair colors ( before them I had to make my own using mermaid and fairy play line Barbie’s with made to move bodies) even the new line was great..I’m so sad..I’ll collect the ones I’m needing while they r on deep clearance
I actually liked the Barbie Extras but most of them needed a hair makeover ! I loved the hair makeover that you did! I watched all of your Barbie Extra makeover videos! Even though I liked the additional fashion “packs” for the extras but they had too many plastic accessories to make me 100% satisfied! I was though super impressed with the purple/black star moto jacket that had a zipper that actually worked! I also loved the blue/pink fur jacket vest and the green/ pink lounge cover up so cute! I just wished that they would have made one or two complete outfit sets for these dolls! But, I like you feel that Mattel will be retiring this series! Great video, btw! Enjoyed it very much!
I love Barbie Extra. If I has more money and more storage shelf I would buy most of them. For me they are beautiful and I love over-the-top style. I honestly suspect people are just broke due to all things that happening in the world lol. I’m sad that this line will be discontinued. I wanted more guys in Extra line 😭
Some of them were really bad, like the one with green hair. Where I live they are like 35 dollars each extra doll, which is kinda pricey for a doll with pixelated eyes and cheap hair. 😢
I bought the vanity set solely for the doll. She has the prettiest face. I love that broad grin. I bought two. I donated both of the sets of furniture because I truly have no use for them. I wish Mattel would put the focus back onto the fashions and stop creating so much plastic accessory junk.
There was a Barbie extra that was called the “Raquelle” because she looked similar- she had a silver outfit with a pizza purse ❤ I don’t know if she had the actual face mold though
Let's be honest; the quality is bad in general, plasticky fabric, pixelated faces, low-quality hair, and the designs of the last series haven't been mind-blowing. Plus, here in Spain are awfully expensive, and seldom have we ever seen them under €30 (and that's why they're collecting dust on the shelves).
oh man, that sucks indeed, I love coming across these girls on clearance! So weird it varies throughout Europe.. Well, i’m just gonna sit here hoping for an awesome replacement 🙏🏻🩷☺️
If true it's quiet sad that Mattel can't seem to quiet get it right, the Extra Line was fun and different, they need to start focusing on quality, no pixilaton, no cheap hair or fabric. I got the vanity and some of the dolls, actually I just did a room to display it. We need better quality, more articulation, better hair and fashions. How many times are they going to gives us the stiff clones. Great video thank you Arjen. ✌💖✌
I love the Extra Minis, my favorites are the purple hair and the glittery pink dress. The lavender bear hoodie doll was my first doll I brought into my freshman dorm last year, so she was my comfort object for that first semester and she means a lot to me. I don't have any full-size Extra dolls; I've come close to buying one a few times, but I just don't like their designs enough to commit. If I were to buy one, I would pick either the silver outfit doll or the doll with the Barbie-themed pink outfit. I prefer the Barbie Looks.
It would be sad to see this line go.. I can imagine the designers having so much fun with these dolls! And the dolls gave us great jewellery pieces and fashion items, my favorite piece is the blue tulle jacket, so extra!! 😂
Some of them were 45 Euro in Ireland upon release...the sad thing is we did not even get them all here. We only got 2 of the fly series. All the extras I do have I love but all very pixelated faces there's not really an excuse for that other than Mattel just don't give a F. I wish I could go back in a time machine and get the fabulous good quality dolls they used to make. I also wonder if they are gone forever what will take their place...Fashion fever 2.0 one can dream
I loved several dolls from this line because of the braided or crimped hair and their really cute outfits. The Extra Fly dolls weren’t as nicely dressed but the Ken was a good buy. As with all things, we have to say goodbye. But you know there’ll be something new to keep consumers spending their hard earned money.💰 Another fabulous video with lots of great information. The animation at the end is incredible!!!!! I enjoy EVERYTHING you do! Until we meet again… 🩷🌹🩷
My daughter is almost 6 years old and suddenly getting very ‘into’ Barbie (with a little encouragement from moi :) I bought her the Extra 19 with the lavender hair and butterfly cardigan a few months back and she loves her so much. Now I’m furiously trying to buy up a few more before they start getting scarce in the shops. I just love the fashions, the individual pieces that came with each doll are great and can be mixed up a thousand different ways. I always loved dressing and redressing my dolls when I was a little girl, it was my favourite part and do magical! I’m so sad they are over 😭
This is a fascinating conversation and does make me so sad! I’m so glad Barbie Extra/Extra Fancy has helped you be very successful. You have made great suggestions and hair styles that are great! Adding to this conversation, I have a niece who is four years old and she isn’t interested in Barbie Extra. Or a few I bought and opened, for me and their hair would be horrible and I wouldn’t know how to fix or style it. Some Barbie Extra line would come out and a few stores near me wouldn’t get them. So not everyone I got that I didn’t want to buy online.
@@Barbination It was just mine, things were off about them unfortunately. And I monitor my niece carefully/play dolls with her, not like I let her go wild and destroy them. No, no haha!
Barbie Extra actually got me into collecting this new era of Barbie and actually got Extra 1-10, the first Deluxe doll from the 5-pack and then #12. While I'm sad about the discontinuation, I wasn't surprised either. At the end of the day, this is still business - if they profit on them, they will continue and if they won't then they will cut it off. The problem is they over-produce them instead of having a specific number of dolls which could've helped with the sales. But overall, it is the quality and the design problem - when we look at the quality, we all know why but the designs... most of them are misses so I understand why Barbie collectors don't like them as much. The worse one in my opinion is Extra #13 - that's a mess, followed by #1 which could've saved if they put her on shorts and knee-length boots but no, they didn't. There are some dolls from the line that I would like to have still especially Extra #14 with that 80s Barbie outfit and Extra Fancy Barbie. I really hope to get them before they become rare.
True, They just should have produced less dolls, amp up the quality, and don’t focus so much on quantity and over saturate us with a 100 fast fashion designs 🥲 BUT with that said, gotta love the campy vibe and will miss their overall just crazy fun vibe 🥲🩷
I wish Barbie would just bring back Barbie as we used to know her, quality hair, no more plastic hollow bodies and start naming the dolls again. I didn’t mind the extra line because that’s all I would buy of modern Barbies lately since everything else is so cheaply made.
Some of the styles weren’t my favourite, but I have 13 regular Barbies, 3 Minis, and 1 Mini Mini. For my collecting the line has run its course, but I like the idea of something between Fashionistas and $50+ collector dolls.
I was really looking forward to the two new Fierce dolls.😢 The pastel girl in the first Extra line was my first one. I still love her. The Extra fancy pink Barbie blew my mind. I bought 4 of the logo dress girl for the outfit and box purse and sold 3 off the dolls. Fell in love w the crimped pink hair girl with pink and green outfits because it reminded me of Betsy Johnson fashion from the 80s. I'm still in awe of my Extra Ken doll and want to get a couple more from that line. I have 2 minis and one mini mini. Super video as always!
Maybe Extra will be followed up by a spiritual successor with a different type of fashion sense, similar to how Extra has some similarities to the Barbie Style line from the 2010s. I've had 6 Extra dolls, 3 currently (14, 16, and Ken) but kept the clothes for the other 3 (6, 8, and 10). 6's pink bear outfit is one of my favorite Barbie outfits in years, so cutesy and fun, but I didn't like her hair. Many of these dolls weren't my taste but they were elevated by your beautiful makeovers.
I had watched the video you referenced when it came out and continue to hope against hope it's not true. Maybe taking time off for a reboot? I bought the ones I liked, 2 or 3 of the main waves and passed on the ones I didn't. They were the most "extra" of all the dolls we are getting from Barbie lately so I will really miss them if this is the end. It's time to get back to the pink glamour of Barbie from the 80's and 90's.
As someone who has just started doll collecting this year it brings me to tears to hear that barbie extra doll line is over I really wanted to add these to my doll collection along with other franchises but you know what if I see them in my local stores I will still buy them and if online same
I will not miss the barbie extra line. To me they were always clownish looking with every color under the rainbow thrown in. The recent ones were an improvement, but it was too little too late. I much prefer the looks line, the cutie reveals, and the rewind line. ❤
i would LOVE to see you rank them as in a tier list and talking about your favorites and your not so much, but whatever you decide to post i’ll be tuning in🫶🏼😂 out of the 33 dolls, i really really loved at least 10 of them, i own 6 and i can’t wait to get the other 4 i want to add to the collection, sooo disappointed they’re getting canned but they’ll live on forever in our doll houses
Good Riddance! I appreciated Extra because it made Barbie about fun and fashion again, but the looks were tacky and corny af. The purpose of Extra was to compete with LOL, the same way MyScene with Bratz, and The Rockers with Jem. Hopefully this means the LOL dolls are no longer a threat.
I have a few Barbie Extra dolls, I did prefer the minis over the full size dolls. I bought the extra fancy in pink, on clearance. But I won't lie, I hesitated buying them because a lot of them just look tacky, they have so many different clashing clothes, and are just all over the place. The mini mini dolls were stupid, and pointless.
I hope Mattel brings out something to fill the void left by Extra line. Something above basic fashionistas but still playline. I think the Cutie Reveals are cute and many of the dolls looks really nice but I never go back to their furry versions, so I could've just taken the doll and her fashions (that includes the reverse jacket because those I love). So even though the gimmick is kinda fun (and million times better than Colour Reveals), it's still a gimmick.
I am okay with them discontinuing the line, the fashions were a little out there for me but I have a couple of the dolls. I hope Mattel comes out with something with the same good quality to replace this line. I will miss your Barbie Extra Makeover videos though!!
The Barbie extra minis were cute and the Barbie extras were so colorful. My favorite was #19. Sad to know they are ending but, I'm looking forward to seeing what's coming next.😂
I think I only got two Extras, plus the pink Extra Fancy, which is iconic to me! (I don't see her on sale on any websites over here.) A friend gave me a mini and a mini mini and I put them in my LOL Surprise dollhouse, but I like the OMG Tweens much better. One of the mini's stands broke immediately when I set it up. I loved many of the BMRs and I appreciated the Extras because they were interesting, imaginative, and cost less than the BMRs. I have a pretty huge collection of OMGs and prefer them to all the newer Barbies.
To me it seems kind of wild how fast some of the doll lines are releasing new dolls. This many dolls in one line only in a few years? Why not decrease the numbers, add saved money in the quality and keep the dolls on the shelves a bit longer. The toy companies are really pushing on the consumerism and it seems like they are blind to alternative ways to make profit other than "produce more, produce more, produce more". They see first releases selling well, decide to make 100 more and are surprised when people can´t or even don´t want to keep up. I don´t need or want a million dolls.
I wish they released a final set of the doll with vintage looks that the Barbie Fashionista line is releasing. The fashionista line didn’t and I wish I could of seen the the Barbie extra line version of those classics.
Didn’t Mattel make them to give the OMGs a run for their money. They probably don't need to anymore. I see these alot at discount stores. The problem was the outfits were a eyesore for the most part.
@barbination I'd love to see a top 10 or 20 of the Extra dolls! Also I would love if could you describe the hair quality when you go through the countdown as its a bit hard to figure out now as some of your early extra videos are no longer on your channel 💕
I love Barbie. Obviously this line is Mattel's response to LOL OMG dolls. As Barbies they are nice but compared to LOL OMG dolls, they lack individuality, there are some dolls that look alike and the clothes came from one material. But at the end of the day, it made Barbie to be better at least. The quality of Barbie in general is truly declining esp the playline dolls and career dolls. If they don't have a competitor they will not improve their products.
Low key I think the stores sabotaged the line, I live right across the street from a target and 5min from a Walmart, I haven’t seen barbie extra dolls in those stores since the beginning of the year, any dolls from the line this year I had to order online, so whoever does the buying for the stock in those stores I’m side eyeing them hard
I thought Extra #2 had saran hair? Maybe they replaced it? I just bought her now at a discount and she definitely has saran with a serious case of box hair, I had to rewatch your video to fix it. In fact, it just so turned out that all the extras I have bought except #5 have saran hair, which I'm happy with, and the #5 has braids that I love so it doesn't matter so much. Another thing, I ended up switching their accessories around to find better matches, so I think all of my extras look a lot more cohesive. As for extra minis, you can use their bodies and fashions with Chelsea's head to make an adorable fashionable and articulated daughter. For example, purple hair mini goes with chelsea singer and teacher career dolls. Of course you lose the purple hair, but the singer has green hair which makes her still cohesive with the extra theme and she has those ADORABLE cat ear headphones.
@Barbination haha I understand. I don't have a single Chelsea doll myself, but now that Extras are likely discontinued, I was wondering if it's a good idea to get a bunch of minis on a sale for their articulation and fashions to make a bunch of Extra Daughters from Chelseas😅
Good morning,.I missed some I am sad. my daughter and myself also missed the Stevie Nicks pre order doll and I am hoping to get one in November when they come out!no way will I pay the Ebay prices.... have a blessed day.
I will not be buying her from them I agree with you. I do not think it is fair that sellers were allowed to order so many pre orders! I sure hope I can get one on Nov.10 th when they come out!@@Barbination have a blessed day. I so enjoy your channel!
Aww so sad. I had my eye on a few. Really the June curvy Extra Fly. I have alot of the fashions on my wishlist too.. Now the price gougers are going to have a field day 🙄🤦🏾♀️🥺 Maybe they should just revamp the Extra collection with improvements. Like upgrading with made to move bodies as someone else mentioned in the comments.
I managed to get Extra number 14, Extra Fly Snow, and wanted to get numbers 3 and 15 and the “ice queen” and “Nicki Minaj” but the rest… their hair was just so cheap and nasty. The Barbie logo accessories were just so fun.
The only Barbie extra that I bought was Barbie Extra no.3. Millie face is a cutie & the crimped hair is gorgeous but not the attire. I even reroot my Millie BMR1959 hair with Barbie Extra no.3's. others were failed to impresss me. However, I love the Barbie Rewind with clicky knees. Would love to see future Barbie Extra (if any) in that clicky bendable knees
If they bring extra, fashion, MTM body, real good quality dolls as collector, like similar to Barbie movie, but like MTM body with good quality clothes and no pixel face, saran hair, then yes, remove this budget line Barbie extra. Barbie extra line is for mature audience not for kids. Kids need playline, cutie reveal and such. B extra line could not deliver quality we need. So i don’t mind. Also if Mattel concentrate more on G3 Monster High thats good as well.
They only used the regular and curvy bodies in the Extra line. No petite bodies, no tall bodies, no super hero bodies. I gave the Extra Vanity doll a tall body. Which Extra doll would you give a petite body to?
true! Wonder why that is … hmm, Well they could all have a petite body but we don’t have that many skintones yet .. And all the petite girls are Barbie Looks dolls which are expensive over here 🙈
See, for me, I'm the opposite of you. I *love* the pets. I only got the fashion packs for the pets, and I bought a few dolls for the pets as well. I also prefer the Extra Minis because I find regular Barbie too tall. I like 1/6, but 11.5 inches is too tall for me. She's also too thin and spindly for my feeling. I like RH bodies better. But in a mini doll I thought they were a lot of fun to play with. The mini minis are good as dolls for the dolls. I'm a jeans and tee shirts kind of guy so a lot about this line didn't fit for me, but the colours were super appealing. I only have 3 of the main girls, rebodied onto Project MC2 dolls, and the Ken, but I def wanted to see more extra minis.
I love Barbie Extra! Have all the core dolls and Extra Fancy. Only have the Ken from Extra Fly but may get the others. The Barbie Movie dolls should have been fashion packs. They are just the same core dolls with different outfits and are way overpriced. The Extra dolls really got me into collecting. Will be sad if they are discontinued 😢 On the plus side it will save me money lol 😂
All the ones you say you’ve seen on sale everywhere I’ve never seen on sale here in the US. I only buy dolls on clearance or at discount stores like and those never made it that far here.😢
I feel like if they wanted Barbie Extras to be successful they should’ve made them with MTM bodies! Also, they were so wackadoodle with the accessories, some of it just mesh
Those 5-doll sets were criminal. Mattel exprcted us to spend $150 on previous years dolls just to get the 1 new one
and they acted as if the exclusive doll was gorgeous when actually the first one was mid as hell and the second one was just good
😒 I know ..
Truueee

Some of the styles weren’t my favourite, but I have 13 regular Barbies, 3 Minis, and 1 Mini Mini. For my collecting the line has run its course, but I like the idea of something between Fashionistas and $50+ collector dolls.
Let’s just hope they give something amazing in return 🙏🏻🩷
Sad it is over...love many of the dolls....love your video!!!!
Thank you!! 😌🩷✌🏻
The vending machine was just stupid. I even saw it at Goodwill for $4 and didn’t get it even at such a cheap price.
😂😂😂
This is a great overview!!! I love all of the groups pictures and discussions of the dolls. #2 and #5 are 2 of my favorite Barbies
☺️🩷✌🏻
I think they took it as far as they can take it and it's time for the series to end. When one series ends, another one gets introduced.
True! and let’s hope it’s gonna be awesome! 🙌🏻🩷
I was really looking forward to the two new Fierce dolls.😢 The pastel girl in the first Extra line was my first one. I still love her. The Extra fancy pink Barbie blew my mind. I bought 4 of the logo dress girl for the outfit and box purse and sold 3 off the dolls. Fell in love w the crimped pink hair girl with pink and green outfits because it reminded me of Betsy Johnson fashion from the 80s. I'm still in awe of my Extra Ken doll and want to get a couple more from that line. I have 2 minis and one mini mini. Super video as always!

Maybe Extra will be followed up by a spiritual successor with a different type of fashion sense, similar to how Extra has some similarities to the Barbie Style line from the 2010s. I've had 6 Extra dolls, 3 currently (14, 16, and Ken) but kept the clothes for the other 3 (6, 8, and 10). 6's pink bear outfit is one of my favorite Barbie outfits in years, so cutesy and fun, but I didn't like her hair. Many of these dolls weren't my taste but they were elevated by your beautiful makeovers.
Ahhh thank you so much! 🥹🩷 wat hope for an awesome line in return! 🙌🏻
I just clicked on this so fast! 😍 Awesome video done with so much tact and care 🥹 Here's holding out hope for more from this boutique line🕯️
Aah Thank you so much! 🙏🏻🩷 and LETS DO! 😅
I had watched the video you referenced when it came out and continue to hope against hope it's not true. Maybe taking time off for a reboot? I bought the ones I liked, 2 or 3 of the main waves and passed on the ones I didn't. They were the most "extra" of all the dolls we are getting from Barbie lately so I will really miss them if this is the end. It's time to get back to the pink glamour of Barbie from the 80's and 90's.
Oooh nothing can top 80s and 90s Glam 🙌🏻🩷
As someone who has just started doll collecting this year it brings me to tears to hear that barbie extra doll line is over I really wanted to add these to my doll collection along with other franchises but you know what if I see them in my local stores I will still buy them and if online same
🥹🙏🏻🩷
If this is true, I will be so sad. I loved getting these dolls! 😢
😔🖤🙏🏻
I have enjoyed Barbie Extra and Barbie looks. Before them, we didn't have dolls with much articulation or nice clothes.
🥹🩷🙏🏻
YAY YOU FINALLY REACHED 25K SUB
🥹🙏🏻🩷 YAY!!! so awesome right?!
Wow. Love the little movie of the 3 first girls ❤❤❤
☺️🩷✌🏻
I will not miss the barbie extra line. To me they were always clownish looking with every color under the rainbow thrown in. The recent ones were an improvement, but it was too little too late. I much prefer the looks line, the cutie reveals, and the rewind line. ❤
yeah, the designs were a bit too weird and not trendy
I know they really got kinda crazy with the designs, so crazy it became clownish sometimes 😅 Well excited to see what will replace them 🙏🏻🩷
The design and concept of Barbie Extra are really good actually, but sometimes the execution is not. Somehow the clothing looks cheap.
🥲🙏🏻🩷
i would LOVE to see you rank them as in a tier list and talking about your favorites and your not so much, but whatever you decide to post i’ll be tuning in🫶🏼😂 out of the 33 dolls, i really really loved at least 10 of them, i own 6 and i can’t wait to get the other 4 i want to add to the collection, sooo disappointed they’re getting canned but they’ll live on forever in our doll houses
whaha good to know! 😉🩷
Good Riddance! I appreciated Extra because it made Barbie about fun and fashion again, but the looks were tacky and corny af. The purpose of Extra was to compete with LOL, the same way MyScene with Bratz, and The Rockers with Jem. Hopefully this means the LOL dolls are no longer a threat.
Think LOL is declining aswell… But don’t see them discontinued any time soon
I have a few Barbie Extra dolls, I did prefer the minis over the full size dolls. I bought the extra fancy in pink, on clearance. But I won't lie, I hesitated buying them because a lot of them just look tacky, they have so many different clashing clothes, and are just all over the place. The mini mini dolls were stupid, and pointless.
whaha I never really got the mini mini idea but guess it was part of the plan to come for LOL Surprise 😅
🤩Don't Call Me Doll 🤩
🩷✌🏻
I hope Mattel brings out something to fill the void left by Extra line. Something above basic fashionistas but still playline. I think the Cutie Reveals are cute and many of the dolls looks really nice but I never go back to their furry versions, so I could've just taken the doll and her fashions (that includes the reverse jacket because those I love). So even though the gimmick is kinda fun (and million times better than Colour Reveals), it's still a gimmick.
🙏🏻🩷🥹
I am okay with them discontinuing the line, the fashions were a little out there for me but I have a couple of the dolls. I hope Mattel comes out with something with the same good quality to replace this line. I will miss your Barbie Extra Makeover videos though!!
🥲🩷 haha aawe thanks hon, i’m sure a new line will replace these make-overs! But i’m definitely gonna miss these girls too 🙏🏻
I just hope they don’t discontinue the Looks series! I haven’t even found a minime yet!
Noooooo!! Barbie LOOKS is coming with a cute new wave in 2024 in pastel matellic colors! 🙌🏻🩷
@@Barbination yesss can’t wait!! 😸
This sad to see these dolls go way i really like them 😢 it just not fair i am sad
😢🙏🏻🩷
No it’s not a goodbye! I love my Barbie Extra Dolls
🥲🩷✌🏻
I think it’s your makeovers are the draw more than the doll line.
😅🩷 Thanks haha
Barbie Extra brought me back to collecting!! I loooove them
🙌🏻🩷🥹🙏🏻
Thank you so much for making this video, it’s sad saying good bye to Barbie extra 😢 I think they were really cute.
🥲🙏🏻🩷
My favorite one was the Barbie extra fancy doll with the magenta/pink dress. She is so pretty! ❤❤❤
Totally! 🩷🥹⭐️ She’s the EXTRA superstar for sure !
They all came out beautiful. I like Brooklyn😊!
☺️🩷
Think its time to end the line.more misses than hits,bought a few,but the bad quality hair stopped my buying any more.
The hair really was a hot mess indeed 😅🙈
Arjen, PS I have a difficult time finding the Made To Move Barbies in the United States now. Are they discontinued also?
Oh definitely not! There’s a new set of girls coming. So weird stores don’t stock up on them over there though 🤔
Barbie Extra Creators! Ken I speak 🗣️ to your manager?! Thank you 🙏 for these weird Barbies with awesome extra accessories. Ken hair flip.
haha 😆🩷
You should do a makeover for Barbie Extra number 1 for a send off video.
Right! 😉✌🏻🩷
The Barbie extra minis were cute and the Barbie extras were so colorful. My favorite was #19. Sad to know they are ending but, I'm looking forward to seeing what's coming next.😂
🩷🙏🏻🩷
😢🤗🧡♥️❤️🎈🔥 that is very sad that Barbie doll extra Barbie doll mini we saying goodbye and it just put out a first Barbie extra Ken doll 😢😢
I was hoping for more Ken’s to follow 🥲🩷🙏🏻
I think I only got two Extras, plus the pink Extra Fancy, which is iconic to me! (I don't see her on sale on any websites over here.) A friend gave me a mini and a mini mini and I put them in my LOL Surprise dollhouse, but I like the OMG Tweens much better. One of the mini's stands broke immediately when I set it up.
I loved many of the BMRs and I appreciated the Extras because they were interesting, imaginative, and cost less than the BMRs.
I have a pretty huge collection of OMGs and prefer them to all the newer Barbies.
Those OMGs are so fun and pretty! I also have quite a bit now haha but i’m trying to slim it down but it’s so hard! 🙃 they’re all so adorable !!
Awe, Barbie Extras we're the only Barbies I collected!!! They actually got me into Barbie. 😭😭😭😭
I’m sooo gonna miss these campy queens! 🥲🩷
I’m not a Barbie collector but I really want to get the Barbie Extra with cloud puffy sleeves, she’s cute but her neon beanie is totally out of place
haha 😆🩷 All the Extras usually have one piece that’s totally out of place 😅
To me it seems kind of wild how fast some of the doll lines are releasing new dolls. This many dolls in one line only in a few years? Why not decrease the numbers, add saved money in the quality and keep the dolls on the shelves a bit longer. The toy companies are really pushing on the consumerism and it seems like they are blind to alternative ways to make profit other than "produce more, produce more, produce more".
They see first releases selling well, decide to make 100 more and are surprised when people can´t or even don´t want to keep up. I don´t need or want a million dolls.
100 % agree! Less dolls, more quality! 🙌🏻🩷
I wish they released a final set of the doll with vintage looks that the Barbie Fashionista line is releasing. The fashionista line didn’t and I wish I could of seen the the Barbie extra line version of those classics.
That would be so cute indeed! 🩷
I didn't know that they had fashion packs! I like the outfits but the hairstyles weren't my fave.
✌🏻🩷
I hope they continued with the line i like it . I'm waiting for you to review barbie pop reveal
Ugh I know! I need to get me one!! 😅🩷
Didn’t Mattel make them to give the OMGs a run for their money. They probably don't need to anymore. I see these alot at discount stores. The problem was the outfits were a eyesore for the most part.
Totally!
@barbination I'd love to see a top 10 or 20 of the Extra dolls! Also I would love if could you describe the hair quality when you go through the countdown as its a bit hard to figure out now as some of your early extra videos are no longer on your channel 💕
☺️🩷✌🏻
I love Barbie. Obviously this line is Mattel's response to LOL OMG dolls. As Barbies they are nice but compared to LOL OMG dolls, they lack individuality, there are some dolls that look alike and the clothes came from one material. But at the end of the day, it made Barbie to be better at least. The quality of Barbie in general is truly declining esp the playline dolls and career dolls. If they don't have a competitor they will not improve their products.
100% agree! ✌🏻
Low key I think the stores sabotaged the line, I live right across the street from a target and 5min from a Walmart, I haven’t seen barbie extra dolls in those stores since the beginning of the year, any dolls from the line this year I had to order online, so whoever does the buying for the stock in those stores I’m side eyeing them hard
Good point! think there’s absolutely some
thruth to that!
I thought Extra #2 had saran hair? Maybe they replaced it? I just bought her now at a discount and she definitely has saran with a serious case of box hair, I had to rewatch your video to fix it. In fact, it just so turned out that all the extras I have bought except #5 have saran hair, which I'm happy with, and the #5 has braids that I love so it doesn't matter so much.
Another thing, I ended up switching their accessories around to find better matches, so I think all of my extras look a lot more cohesive.
As for extra minis, you can use their bodies and fashions with Chelsea's head to make an adorable fashionable and articulated daughter. For example, purple hair mini goes with chelsea singer and teacher career dolls. Of course you lose the purple hair, but the singer has green hair which makes her still cohesive with the extra theme and she has those ADORABLE cat ear headphones.
Oh that’s a great tip indeed! ☺️🙌🏻🩷 Not much of a Chelsea collector but I do agree on total cute pieces for her from the minis!
@Barbination haha I understand. I don't have a single Chelsea doll myself, but now that Extras are likely discontinued, I was wondering if it's a good idea to get a bunch of minis on a sale for their articulation and fashions to make a bunch of Extra Daughters from Chelseas😅
Good morning,.I missed some I am sad. my daughter and myself also missed the Stevie Nicks pre order doll and I am hoping to get one in November when they come out!no way will I pay the Ebay prices.... have a blessed day.
Nooo leave Ebay and their crazy scalper prices! 🥲
I will not be buying her from them I agree with you. I do not think it is fair that sellers were allowed to order so many pre orders! I sure hope I can get one on Nov.10 th when they come out!@@Barbination have a blessed day. I so enjoy your channel!
top 10 barbie extra video 🥳
😄🩷✌🏻
Aww so sad. I had my eye on a few. Really the June curvy Extra Fly. I have alot of the fashions on my wishlist too.. Now the price gougers are going to have a field day 🙄🤦🏾♀️🥺
Maybe they should just revamp the Extra collection with improvements. Like upgrading with made to move bodies as someone else mentioned in the comments.
Yeah, but think they will replace it with a whole new series alltogether so let’s hope we get something awesome in return 🙏🏻🩷
@@Barbination hope so. 😊
I mostly bought extra minis to head swap and make articulated Chelsea
Oh I see! Good tip actually! 🙌🏻
I managed to get Extra number 14, Extra Fly Snow, and wanted to get numbers 3 and 15 and the “ice queen” and “Nicki Minaj” but the rest… their hair was just so cheap and nasty. The Barbie logo accessories were just so fun.
😅🩷🙈
If the line is really being discontinued does that mean production of the existing dolls will stop or they just won’t be making new dolls?
Think production has stopped by now.
Oh no! I've really liked this line. There are only a few I'm missing 😢. I don't have any of the little dolls but I love the bigger dolls.
😢 So heartbreaking!
The only Barbie extra that I bought was Barbie Extra no.3. Millie face is a cutie & the crimped hair is gorgeous but not the attire. I even reroot my Millie BMR1959 hair with Barbie Extra no.3's. others were failed to impresss me. However, I love the Barbie Rewind with clicky knees. Would love to see future Barbie Extra (if any) in that clicky bendable knees
Ooeeh Barbie Rewind! Wonder if we will ever get to see a new wave for that series? 🤔🩷
This can't be! It was the Barbie Extra Line that had me started to collect dolls :(
😢🙏🏻🩷
I love the extra lime for the clothes.
🩷
I actually really love some of these dolls and the car! The car is epic ❤
🙌🏻🩷⭐️
I’m so sad Barbie extra is being discontinued
😮💨 I know!
I just want the fur boots from the 2nd wave 5 pack doll LOL
whaha 😆🩷
A mis niñas les encanta la línea extra más que cualquier otra, espero no se hagan reales los rumores ,🥺
😢🙏🏻🩷
I like the Extra line because I like their articulation.
✌🏻🩷
If they bring extra, fashion, MTM body, real good quality dolls as collector, like similar to Barbie movie, but like MTM body with good quality clothes and no pixel face, saran hair, then yes, remove this budget line Barbie extra. Barbie extra line is for mature audience not for kids. Kids need playline, cutie reveal and such. B extra line could not deliver quality we need. So i don’t mind. Also if Mattel concentrate more on G3 Monster High thats good as well.
I just hope we get something awesome in return 🙏🏻🩷
What's Next? Create Your Barbie Doll? Would Love To See That😂
Who knows! 🥲😉🩷
That would be amazing. Choose body type, articulation, hair, face mold and makeup.
They only used the regular and curvy bodies in the Extra line. No petite bodies, no tall bodies, no super hero bodies. I gave the Extra Vanity doll a tall body. Which Extra doll would you give a petite body to?
true! Wonder why that is … hmm, Well they could all have a petite body but we don’t have that many skintones yet .. And all the petite girls are Barbie Looks dolls which are expensive over here 🙈
See, for me, I'm the opposite of you. I *love* the pets. I only got the fashion packs for the pets, and I bought a few dolls for the pets as well. I also prefer the Extra Minis because I find regular Barbie too tall. I like 1/6, but 11.5 inches is too tall for me. She's also too thin and spindly for my feeling. I like RH bodies better. But in a mini doll I thought they were a lot of fun to play with. The mini minis are good as dolls for the dolls. I'm a jeans and tee shirts kind of guy so a lot about this line didn't fit for me, but the colours were super appealing. I only have 3 of the main girls, rebodied onto Project MC2 dolls, and the Ken, but I def wanted to see more extra minis.
😄🩷 awe, I see your style and vibe there! I just really hopende get something cute in return 🙏🏻🩷
I love Barbie Extra! Have all the core dolls and Extra Fancy. Only have the Ken from Extra Fly but may get the others. The Barbie Movie dolls should have been fashion packs. They are just the same core dolls with different outfits and are way overpriced. The Extra dolls really got me into collecting. Will be sad if they are discontinued 😢 On the plus side it will save me money lol 😂
whaha True, but let’s see what will replace these girls! 🙈🩷 one way or another Mattel will find a way to our wallets y’know 😅🙈 haha
Oops! 😱 I miss you Barbie Extra
🥹🩷🙏🏻
@@Barbination 💟😔
All the ones you say you’ve seen on sale everywhere I’ve never seen on sale here in the US. I only buy dolls on clearance or at discount stores like and those never made it that far here.😢
Ohh really?! so weird! never understand those logistics of these dolls! Over here at TJ MAXX they were constantly there on clearance
I feel like if they wanted Barbie Extras to be successful they should’ve made them with MTM bodies! Also, they were so wackadoodle with the accessories, some of it just mesh
whaha true! 😅
This video was "extra" is the best way!
🤗🩷🎀 haha Thanks!
4:31 lol omg fierce never sold well…like EVER it was a massive flop
Such a shame! I was excited because the scale was more Barbie-like so was hoping that their outfits might fit her aswell! ⭐️❤️
