Full circle moment for AG right there. Pleasant Rowland came up with American Girl as a more educational counter to Barbie, and now we have a Barbie AG lel
My first thought when you showed her in the poodle skirt outfit was that she reminded me of Lucille Ball! Not sure why because she is blonde. But Lucy did have poodle bangs and wore 50’s dresses like that. She looks adorable! I’m so glad you got her. I grew up loving Barbie’s even though they are not the main part of my collection now I still appreciate them. I love this doll. She looks way better in a full outfit rather than the swim suit. 💕
@@CherishedDollFriends oh no I totally see it too! It’s the poodle bangs for sure but also the overdrawn lips (similar to hers) and the bright blue eyes. Even the eyebrows. And then Cinderella is wearing an outfit Lucy totally would’ve.
She looks SO adorable in this outfit. The 50’s vibe is perfect. I know you aren’t fond of the holiday gown, but yours looked very pretty in it, seriously! Congratulations, she’s so cute! I didn’t get her, so seeing you unbox and dress yours was so much fun. Thank you!
@@MarlaJeanne awww sorry you didn’t get her (unless you chose to pass). I wish i had thought to try more outfits on her - I didn’t like the sock hop outift on her as much as I hoped. I’ve changed her already and will order her another outift. Maybe one day I’ll do a Barbie fashion show 🤣
Oh, I love you making her one of your 1950s girls! How many 50s dolls does that make now, in your tableau? Congratulations on getting her - yours is actually the first unboxing of her that I've seen!
@@eliseelliot haha I think Barbie might quantum leap around. She’ll also look great in Courtney’s collection and maybe some of melodys outfits. But mostly she’ll be in the 1950s. I’ve changed her into the dachshund pjs until I order the fancy pink dress. I think she makes 9 dolls in that world.
@@nildajurado8423 I like it - but not as much as I expected. I put her in the Dachshund pjs for now (always much better to me) and I’m going to order that prom looking dress (fancy pink dress?). She’s beautiful regardless
@@lisbetsoda4874 I think if I don’t have that extra holiday Claudie, I wouldn’t have - but too many boxed dolls looks cluttered to me because boxes take up too muhch space. Besides she looks better in other outfits 😁
you have made me overcome, one of my fears, this may sound strange … but i’ve always been afraid of re-dressing my AG dolls .. bc i don’t want to mess them up!?!! but watching you has made me want to venture out change their outfits Soo thank you so much!!🤗🙏❣️❣️
@@stephaniefriend9912 no that’s not strange at all!! Some outfits in particular feel very delicate, so redressing dolls can be stressful, especially on camera. But I get an idea in my head and have to see it through 😝 If you try it, let me know how it goes. I never want to be a bad influence in my vids!
She's really a beauty! I remember Barbie as being very pale-that was the ideal of that era.(😏) She definitely could be Cinderella's sister! The outfit is probably the best and the fancy pink dress, too! Too bad, Maryellen doesn't have a red outfit (especially on top next to her face) that would be "Wowza" on her!💋Thank you for sharing her with us!❤
@@paulettepalmer4860 okay good to know - that makes me appreciate her unique skin tone even more. I’m going to order that fancy pink dress for her. I realized I wasn’t feeling the sock hop outift on her after all. For now she’s in the dachshund pjs, which actually look really cute on her
The 1959 Barbie that came in the black and white bathing suit had porcelain skin and the striking red lips. This seems in line with your Barbie. Excellent choice for her outfit from Mary Ellen’s collection, but Cinderella was the star to me. I love Cinderella’ s outfit!
@@tiawillioms5924 ooh that makes me appreciate her skin tone even more! It’s nice AG put that extra nod to the original. I wish I had talked about Cinderella more, but I got so distracted by their difference in complexion. I was convinced from pics they were the same 🥴
Hi Blaine, you never disappoint your viewers . Great content and you are very sincere about your comments about the dolls you love. Your Barbie doll looks great with the outfit you choose and the hair style compliments the outfit. Regards Fred.
@@fredsimmonds1805 awwww thank you Fred! I did end up changing her outift after, and I decided to order her a new one - but I think she’s the kind of doll that can pull off a lot of different looks. And I want to see as many as possible lol
Loved seeing your Barbie!! I think she’s a lovely doll! I hope AG does more collector editions of different Barbies, or their other lines like monster high! ❤️
Personally, I am hoping they won't go in that direction. They have become very fast at cranking dolls out all the time. I wish they were still an alternative to crazy materialism. I might be alone in that, though. All these Limited edition dolls is out of control. 😂
Hi Blaine! You're welcome!😃thank you!❤️I really liked your Barbie she's so cute! I loved all the outfits on her! I hope Cinderella and Barbie have fun eating snacks at the diner and dancing to the jukebox!😁🎶❤️
@@robinkrueger5977 hi Robin! For now I’ve put Barbie in Maryellen’s dachshund pjs and she’s snacking in her kitchen instead 😝 but once I order her fancy pink dress, I’ll put her in the diner (the poodle skirt didn’t work for me)
@@MaxineAndrew yeah I don’t think I’ll ever try anything else on Ella - but I’ve already changed my mind about Barbie’s outift 😝 I’ve put her in Maryellen’s pjs and I plan to order that prom looking dress instead lol.
I think she’s pretty, and of course I would like her, being more of a Barbie fan than AG (40+ years vs 2 years). However, to get her to Canada (cost and hassle) was just not worth it to me. I am looking forward to the rumoured outfits, and hopefully they can ship here and I can find a stand-in for the official doll.
Barbies came out when I was about 3. I didn't have the original swimsuit Barbie but I did have the "Fashion Queen" that came with 3 wigs. I wish I had kept my Barbie collection (I had Ken, Midge, Skipper and Scooter as well) but I sold them when I was about 14. I did get the reproduction Barbies, 1 blonde and 1 brunette. They would be fun to sew for.
@@nanasewdear imagine you had kept them! There was no way when you were 14 to know what they’d be worth. My family moved when I was around that age, so I lost all my toys because of that. I still think about them 🤣 I’m glad you got some repros at least.
Congratulations on your AG Barrbie! She is so pretty and I think she looks amazing in the poodle skirt outfit. It is perfect for her. I collect Barbie and AG (& other lines, as well) and ordered mine as soon as they dropped. She is my first AG collector doll and I am so happy with her. Mine will be freed from the box at some point, and I am hoping to get her some Barbie style clothes, but until then mine will be wearing some Maryellen outfits, as well. :)
@@littleplasticfriends I totally understand all the collectors who want to keep her boxed (she looks amazing the way she’s displayed) but I’m way more excited to hear others are going to open her! I’ve put her in Maryellen’s dachshund pjs, and I actually prefer her in them. I’m going to order the pink prom dress for her. Let me know what outfits you plan to put her in or what you think would look good!
@@DisBlaine will do. I think the pink prom dress will look amazing. I’m not sure which outfit she will end up in, but now I’m extra excited to put her in some 50’s clothing. 🩷
@@mackenzienorris8534 haha that must be a quote from something, but the way you worded it sounds like you’re talking about me 🤣🤣 (because you didn’t put “ “ around it)
Yeah, I’m one of the collectors who ordered on the 1st berry morning that is still waiting. I’m so excited to get her. I hope it doesn’t take much longer.
@@prbambi9934 oh noooo, it’s so strange! Usually the description says they ship in order of purchase, so I have NO IDEA why mine shipped right away. Jeez, I hope you get yours soon! Do you have a my FedEx account? Some people aren’t getting an email from AG but a notification from FedEx instead.
@@Latinart I know exactly what I’m going to do with her (name and style). She’s amazing!! I thought she was Nanea at first too-it would’ve made the most sense! But I like that they finally used Corrine for a Disney doll since she has those big doe eyes.
Wow she is pretty, the sock hop outfit looks nice. Congrats on your Barbie. I did not order her but I am looking forward to them releasing Barbie themed outfits. I previously collected Barbie dolls and still like them but I am focused on AG now. BTW it is always about Claudie.
@@nailahvenable7989 they did a good job making her look unique … but they’ve overdrawn her lips, which I’m still getting used to 😝 I really do love her tho, and can’t wait to find my favorite outfit on her. (I agree about Claudie!)
It would be fun if Mattel would do the same. Have the original Skipper doll dress like AG historical characters. She looks like Mary Ellen with makeup. She would have been better if she came wearing a vintage Barbie outfit. Keep her in that 50s outfit she looks better in it.
@@iamsoverybored878 I wish I had compared her to Maryellen, but I was so fixated on how she would look next to Cinderella - and I think I’ll put her in lots of outfits lol. (I’ve already changed her 🤪)
@@dolltimewithkayla I loved your suggestion so much I tried it right away… but they’re designed for dresses 💔 The pole won’t go through the legs because it’s in the middle. Maybe I’ll find another classic doll - but a chubbier one who’ll fill in out!
@@dolltimewithkayla I’ve put yer in the dachshund pjs for now while I wait for the prom looking dress. I didn’t love the sock hop outift on her as much as I expected
Disblaine, you’re a better man than I, lol. She’s SO beautiful, and I’m such a Barbie fan that I would keep her in box and in that iconic bathing suit forever. So sorry I missed out on getting her…😔
@@royd.6831 awwww I hope it didn’t hurt your soul to see me remove her AND change her. If it’s any consolation, she’s still Barbie to me, but in the 1950s so that she can wear more outfits and be more dynamic. Her swimsuit is quite disappointing-but maybe not if you leave her boxed. I hope her secondary price clams down. Scalpers are so scummy 💔 Did you find out about her too late? Sorry to hear you missed her!!
@@DisBlaine Lol, oh no, your redressing choices were perfect - especially the poodle skirt outfit. She looked great, and Barbie #1 was in 1959 after all. And yes, I did find out about her a day too late, and she sold out in minutes. Thanks so much for letting us all see her! 💙
@@royd.6831 not a day late!! 💔💔 I’ll show her again. I decided I want her to wear something else. If it makes you feel better, I’m noticing a lot of the dolls have droopy bathing suits, so maybe she would’ve bugged you as an in box doll…
@@ladero01 no but you’re right: she looks more like Cinderella than the Cinderella doll! Someone pointed out she looked like Princess Peach, and now I wonder how I never saw it!!
@@zoejohnson8411 and maybe her hair clashed too, idk. I think her lips might be hard to match in general. I changed her as soon as I stopped recording 🤣
@@LisaWhitmire-c3f I got so focused on thier skin tones I forgot to mention this is one of Maryellen’s prototype outfits that didn’t get made. This was the most common one to find on sites like Etsy. Someone gifted this one to me-she must be psychic because it’s the perfect outfit for Cinderella
I am also a Barbie collector and chose not to purchase this doll. I have no regrets; she’s just not for me. I didn’t love that they used the classic mold, I didn’t like the color of the hair, and I wasn’t thrilled with the swimsuit. I think her hair color would clash with a lot of outfits, but I would be curious to see her in Maryellen’s birthday dress. I feel like her lip color would go well with the pink accents in that dress.
@@ThoughtsArrive hmmm I wonder if it’s her hair color that I didn’t love with the sock hop outift. I put her in Maryellen’s pink and blue pjs and she looks a lot better.
You are just collecting more and more limited addition dolls. Wow!!! I’m a big fan of Barbie. I passed at $300 and not wearing a classic fashion outfit only the original swimsuit I can’t commit.
@@Latinart Barbie was my first technically. But since she’s so unique, I’m glad I didn’t know holiday Claudie was coming. I might not have bought any of the others 🤣 Tbh Barbie’s bathing suit is very disappointing, so I think you made the right choice if you didn’t want to redress her.
I considered buying her , because she’s lovely, and I also collect Barbie “I’ve become very selective what I buy now, because it can become overwhelming”. I chose not buy her only because when AG collectors were giving opinions on the price “yes the crystals played a role , but I kept hearing it’s also “the branding Barbie” we’re paying for the Collab… I thought I was missing something “y’all know Mattel owns Barbie , and AG 👀. Unless it’s something I’m unaware of why are we paying for the callab, unless we’re paying for two brands AG & Barbie , but they can do whatever they want with their products. If it was $200 I would’ve grabbed one, but can’t have everything… Congratulations on your score, I luv the redress, your a pro at this , your imagination is top notch .
@@onlyalisaawilliams yeah the collab part is complicated. Mattel owns both brands, but I think they might still be separate, like Mattel is the parent, and then each doll brand has its own budgets, etc. At the time I didn’t think they would release any limited edition dolls I’d like and this one seemed so special - but then by the time she released, I had just finished getting 4 limited edition dolls 😬 Good of you to be strong. I wish I had thought to try more outfits on her, but my heart was set on the sock hop outift.
@@jameshamer481 haha no. This was my second time growing it out. It took me about 6 months to adjust to the itchiness (as in it still gets itchy sometimes!)
@@DisBlaine You Should Do A Video Comparing “Maryellen” & “Barbie” Since They Are The Same “Classic” Face Mold. They Look Very Similar With Hair Style & Hair Color :)
@@charlenemendez3353 I was so fixated on how she compares to Cinderella I didn’t even think of it. What a wasted opportunity! I’ll definitely show them together someday soon(ish)
i Finally Found Another UA-camr By The Name Of “Sew4Dolls” Who Made A Video Of Both “Barbie” & “Maryellen” Side By Side She’s Not Comparing Them But i Can Finally See The Difference Between Both. i Still Would Like To See Your Video Of Actually Comparing Both & On Which Outfits Would You Put Them On✅
i started collecting again this year after having my own dolls a long time ago so i was unable to get the barbie when they were up for preorder and the prices are insane rn 🥲 living through u rn ty for this video 💖
@@chvehyuns oh nooooo bad timing 💔 It’s so unusual that they did such a long preorder for her (people think Mattel was trying to get a huge paycheck for their final quarter). I wish I had thought to try more outfits on her. Sorry you missed her!!
Full circle moment for AG right there. Pleasant Rowland came up with American Girl as a more educational counter to Barbie, and now we have a Barbie AG lel
@@blakegriplingph oh noooo that’s hysterical!! I never realized that. Now I’ll choose to look at AG Barbie as a historical 🤣🤣
Yeah to me it looks so weird for an AG doll to have so much make up on and an adult hairstyle.

If it makes you feel better, I’m noticing a lot of the dolls have droopy bathing suits, so maybe she would’ve bugged you as an in box doll…
I think she looks fine in the holiday dress. She was giving me Cinderella vibes. Edited: lol then you compared her to Cinderella.
@@ladero01 no but you’re right: she looks more like Cinderella than the Cinderella doll! Someone pointed out she looked like Princess Peach, and now I wonder how I never saw it!!
I think the pink in the dress clashes with the color of her lips and the blue eyeshadow maybe? I agree it just looked kind of weird and off on her 😅
@@zoejohnson8411 and maybe her hair clashed too, idk. I think her lips might be hard to match in general. I changed her as soon as I stopped recording 🤣
I actually think she would be better in Melody outfits.
@@ristiannarussell4622 yes! I’d now like to see her in her wardrobe and Courtney’s.
Where can I get a hold of that Cinderella outfit you have on her?
@@LisaWhitmire-c3f I got so focused on thier skin tones I forgot to mention this is one of Maryellen’s prototype outfits that didn’t get made. This was the most common one to find on sites like Etsy. Someone gifted this one to me-she must be psychic because it’s the perfect outfit for Cinderella
I am also a Barbie collector and chose not to purchase this doll. I have no regrets; she’s just not for me. I didn’t love that they used the classic mold, I didn’t like the color of the hair, and I wasn’t thrilled with the swimsuit. I think her hair color would clash with a lot of outfits, but I would be curious to see her in Maryellen’s birthday dress. I feel like her lip color would go well with the pink accents in that dress.
@@ThoughtsArrive hmmm I wonder if it’s her hair color that I didn’t love with the sock hop outift. I put her in Maryellen’s pink and blue pjs and she looks a lot better.
The pink dress is so Barbie, but you know who else she looks like in that outfit, Princess Peach ❤ love your videos
@@furball192 oh that’s so weird I never realized how Princess Peach that dress is!!! You’re so right. Hmmm…. 🤔
Did you say what number you ended up with?
@@ladero01 haha yeah it’s something like 4,831.
You are just collecting more and more limited addition dolls. Wow!!! I’m a big fan of Barbie. I passed at $300 and not wearing a classic fashion outfit only the original swimsuit I can’t commit.
@@Latinart Barbie was my first technically. But since she’s so unique, I’m glad I didn’t know holiday Claudie was coming. I might not have bought any of the others 🤣
Tbh Barbie’s bathing suit is very disappointing, so I think you made the right choice if you didn’t want to redress her.
I definitely will get her don’t know when lol
@@nildajurado8423 do you mean you ordered her but she hasn’t shipped yet? People are expecting ridiculous $$$ for her now.
I considered buying her , because she’s lovely, and I also collect Barbie “I’ve become very selective what I buy now, because it can become overwhelming”. I chose not buy her only because when AG collectors were giving opinions on the price “yes the crystals played a role , but I kept hearing it’s also “the branding Barbie” we’re paying for the Collab… I thought I was missing something “y’all know Mattel owns Barbie , and AG 👀. Unless it’s something I’m unaware of why are we paying for the callab, unless we’re paying for two brands AG & Barbie , but they can do whatever they want with their products. If it was $200 I would’ve grabbed one, but can’t have everything… Congratulations on your score, I luv the redress, your a pro at this , your imagination is top notch .
@@onlyalisaawilliams yeah the collab part is complicated. Mattel owns both brands, but I think they might still be separate, like Mattel is the parent, and then each doll brand has its own budgets, etc.
At the time I didn’t think they would release any limited edition dolls I’d like and this one seemed so special - but then by the time she released, I had just finished getting 4 limited edition dolls 😬
Good of you to be strong. I wish I had thought to try more outfits on her, but my heart was set on the sock hop outift.
Have you always had your beard as an adult?❤
@@jameshamer481 haha no. This was my second time growing it out. It took me about 6 months to adjust to the itchiness (as in it still gets itchy sometimes!)
@@DisBlaine it looks so very handsome on you!
@@jameshamer481 awww thank you! It was after seeing myself on these videos I decided I needed to grow it out 🤣
Okay, you're being overly critical lolol. Try an ensemble from the "1980s," to celebrate AG 1986 with Barbie 1959!
*AND/OR* whomever has the closest Barbie and the Rockers/Jem.. looks; an 18" Jerrica!
@@timjonestimjones I actually LOVE that idea! I guess because she’s been around so long, she might fit into a lot of different historical eras.
@@timjonestimjones I already have a Kimber stand in, so it might be fun to figure out how to make her look like her sister. 🤔 Great idea!!!
I Have Her. i Grew Up With A Lot Of Barbie Dolls in The 90’s. So You know i Had To Snatch Her Up 🤍🩷🖤
@@charlenemendez3353 I’m so glad you managed to get one! So many people weren’t aware of her at the time, so we’re lucky.
@@DisBlaine You Should Do A Video Comparing “Maryellen” & “Barbie” Since They Are The Same “Classic” Face Mold. They Look Very Similar With Hair Style & Hair Color :)
@@charlenemendez3353 I was so fixated on how she compares to Cinderella I didn’t even think of it. What a wasted opportunity! I’ll definitely show them together someday soon(ish)
i Finally Found Another UA-camr By The Name Of “Sew4Dolls” Who Made A Video Of Both “Barbie” & “Maryellen” Side By Side She’s Not Comparing Them But i Can Finally See The Difference Between Both. i Still Would Like To See Your Video Of Actually Comparing Both & On Which Outfits Would You Put Them On✅
i started collecting again this year after having my own dolls a long time ago so i was unable to get the barbie when they were up for preorder and the prices are insane rn 🥲 living through u rn ty for this video 💖
@@chvehyuns oh nooooo bad timing 💔
It’s so unusual that they did such a long preorder for her (people think Mattel was trying to get a huge paycheck for their final quarter).
I wish I had thought to try more outfits on her. Sorry you missed her!!
