    The thing that drives me most insane is when a design doesn't follow on the back. Bonus points for when this is the gimmick of the doll (a couple of barbie movie tie in dolls come to mind). I think the reason it gets me so much is because the ads were always like surprise she's 2 dolls in one and it always felt as a kid like an attack on my intelligence. I have eyes I can see behind her. Still to this day I don't understand why it's considered an acceptable cost cutting method. Dolls are a 3d medium. If she only looks good in your concept art you've messed up.

      @@jenniferh.2541 They’ve actually done this to Barbie a lot for the past 7-8 years :((( Even certain “collector” dolls (since you’re not expected to unbox them), like one of the Lunar New Year dolls. Modern Mattel has no scruples. Actually, there are some vintage 90s examples as well, but it’s much more rare. Barbie, be it playline or collector, is not what it once was.

    this is a little random, but i always love how you use the term "connecting" with a doll. it's that level of personification and love for each doll and their variants and "flaws" that makes collecting and the community so unique to me. sometimes you see a goofy looking or cheaply made doll at the thrift and just... connect immediately, even if it's not other collectors' preferences. every toyline is loved by someone. :) thank you for another fun vid, i look forward to them after classes every day lol!

    One thing i HATE about companies is when they keep on releasing the same doll 100000 times but "with different concepts" like the Playmates Miraculous dolls. It's like actually insane how often they keep on releasing the same Marinette/Ladybug doll and just change the name of the playline or something and they're gonna do that with Rena Rouge and Cat Noir too😭 Like Playmates PLEASE move on from the same characters and give us characters y'all left out with the first MLB Doll run...

    Some thing I absolustly don't like about dolls are:
    - Dolls that smile too much/are too friendly looking. It's why I don't like most barbie dolls. Don't get me wrong, I love that they exsist. But even as I child I only liked Bratz because of their neutral/sassy face.
    - Cheap fabric, exactly like you said. FOUL!
    - Small feet haha. Silly I know. Weird doll proportions never bother me, unless their feet are too small. La dee da has this. I love them otherwise tho!
    - When they mess up short hair styles with dolls. Sometimes they really nail it, so I just don't get why some dolls have to look like they are in a permanent tornado??
    - Molded on clothes. I just don't like it man. There are maybe a fewww exceptions, but I just want to be able to style (or customize) the doll from head to toe myself
    These are just a few thing off the top of my head! (written halfway watching your video haha)

      I’m just curious: Why didn’t you like the smiling face as a kid? Was there less play value due to less mood variety? Super interesting to me. All I had was smiling Barbie (maybe a couple with pouty lips tops). They still acted out all kinds of drama haha. So just wondering why you were repelled by the friendly smiles?

    ik you did say it at the beginning how tinsel doesnt bother you, and im so happy that it doesnt for you lmao cause i personally cant stand it on my dolls. hair play on dolls is super important to me, it really helps with my anxiety, just brushing a doll's hair for like 5 mins calms me down so much. styling hair is also one of my favorite things to do for my dolls, and when there's tinsel i just dont feel like theres much i can do without it looking horrid to me.
    plus taking all the tinsel out is such a horrid experience. dolls with a little tinsel are fine like lily cheng, took me like 5 mins to take it all out, but then someone like margot de perla, literally took me 5 hours to get it all out and aaa i just wish they wouldnt have it in the first place, margot in particular cause her hair blend is so pretty with all the blues, purples, pinks, and greens. her subtlety just felt undermined by the bright loud and snaggly tinsel

    Eye issues (shiny/pixelated/wonky) are the worst for me, and I can totally relate to not connecting with a doll that has something off about their eyes. Mattel has a big problem with this, and it seems to be random as to which doll. I returned the Maya Angelou doll from last year because the eyes were too shiny, and the Black Widow Barbie has pixelated eyes. So, even the collector level is not safe, while I have seen some Fashionistas that are fine.

Also with the saddle stands even dolls that come with it (aka Holiday Barbies) sometimes will still have that gap and it's so annoying. I get the metal stands too! Another thing I hate is when they weirdly smile and star into your soul it like creeps me out.

    Wow, you hit on a serious thing with dolls, specifically articulation, that bothers me so much!
    This especially bothers me if the doll is made by a company that has done a better articulation system earlier and then starts doing less later. Makes no sense to me.

  • @call9779
    @call9779 2 роки тому +14

    I agree with you about the stand issues. Kaiser type stands were originally designed for porcelain dolls, so they're meant to hold cloth bodied or thick waisted and heavier dolls firmly, since it's really bad if a porcelain doll falls over lol. They're absolutely terrible for most fashion dolls, and can actually cause damage to dolls with plastic bodies if used improperly. And saddle stands were designed for really expensive dolls that the wire of the kaiser type of stand might damage since they didn't have cloth bodies. Again, not really meant for fashion dolls. I don't know why companies even use them for fashion dolls. Different types of dolls need different types of stands. Like, whoever decided to give the hairdorables longest hair ever dolls saddle stands when they have super heavy long hair and super tiny light weight bodies was not thinking.

    I'm completely with you on the misprinted dolls, especially the eyes. I ordered a gorgeous looking doll online where one of the eyes was not within the eye mold at least 2 mm off to the side of the edge and it bothered me soooo much I literally stuffed her in a box in a drawer because I couldn't look at her. The company told me it wasn't considered enough of a quality issue to get sent a replacement and, due to it being ordered abroad, it wasn't worth the money to send it back for a return. That doll is still sitting there not seeing the light of day.

    Oh I agree with the shiny eyes for photos. It is annoying. And paper plastic feeling clothing is awful. That needs to be addressed. I personally am not bothered so much about misprints unless it is so bad and one eye is way up and the other way down. I don't like seeing joints on dolls so i prefer the wire body or the bend and snap. But that is me. One thing I do hate is printed on pockets or pockets that don't open. It annoys me. And plastic purses that do not open. They are pointless to me. I would prefer a purse of fabric or at the very least to open if plastic. But once again that is all my preference. Oh and sticky hair or legs really bother me.

    Lots of valid concerns, from an adult collector perspective. Maybe the joints on Jakks dolls were tight because it would break off during production and rough play? Musa everyday collection and Stella were meant as budget though. I am a bit surprised you didnt bring up the screening of the new witty dolls. Thanks again for your input :)

    • @xCanadensis
      @xCanadensis  2 роки тому +7

      They're not tight at all- it's just that they didn't carve out the elbow correctly to allow the joint to move like it would be able to. They're also incredibly delicate as they are and not articulating as far as they seem like they should makes them *more* prone to breakage. I also don't think "budget" is an excuse for using medical napkins as fabric. It's like... kind of an explanation but it's silly- budget dolls by witty the year before Jakks came out had apparel fabrics.
      I also don't think it's fair to say I hate a doll because of the art style of the face. That's not an objectively bad thing or a weird mistake- that's just trashing designers which I am 100% against. There's absolutely nothing constructive or helpful in saying "I think the eyes are ugly".

Of course I would rather nice even eyes but I will take the hit just to add someone to my collection....This brings me to the Skull Shores Ghoulia ......Whew! Aw Man! So first off, I loved her. She was not overly loved by collectors so shelves were FLOODED with her. I remember the Mommy Show it was a running joke of how many were on the shelves. I like her 50s look, with her brain printed beach wrap. She is just adorbs. So I buy one in stores. I do like her still but I see the wonk....I proceed to get my hands on five or six different ones over the years, second hand.....searching for a better set of peepers.....no dice. They are all infected with the Wonk Virus. I give up. I keep the best I find and just appreciate her....although, I would switch in a second if another better one came along. A girl can dream right?

Articulation is a big one when I was little believe it or not I did not like articulated dolls Because of the joints I thought it looked really weird when they were just showing, not like the Barbie doll legs that snap that’s fine, you can’t see them bend you know, the weird thing is I preferred Barbies with straight arms when I was young because I didn’t like the right angle but now as an adult, I see the beauty of them and I’d prefer them over the straight arms because they allow for so much more possibility😂❤

      I used to HATE the shoe-feet things but I’m not too bothered by it anymore. It’s definitely still weird.
      Also oh my god I could talk for hours about all of the ways boy dolls could be better 😭 they’re mostly such a wreck. The molded hair is so lazy

      @@xCanadensis Right? I mean I get that the art is 2d so it’ll look a little different but sometimes it’s just so far off from the actual doll. And I don’t even get the plastic hair on boy dolls thing, they already root the girl dolls in the line so it can’t be that hard to do the guys too 😖 I had a prince Eric doll as a kid and hated that his hair wasn’t brushable like ariels was lol.

I have a bunch of Barbies that have broken click joins and a myscene where the rubber material broke, but that just might be cause I was rough as a child :) still i don't like them

    I'm sorry i know this video is a year old i've just been binging these while cleaning my closet BUT. I have to say. That old giochi preziosi tecna had a full length bodysuit with a tiny little elastic loop at the bottom that goes around under the foot to keep the pants straight when you push the boots up on her leg to avoid weird pants bunching so it's inexcusable to see other doll brands cut costs by giving her lame knee length pants when they already figured out a decent enough solution in the early 2000s. On the other hand the wings kind of sucked ass like tecna's especially were like a small chunk of plastic that attached to her bodysuit with velcro

    Hi, I'm kind of new to these dog collecting videos, and I hope you don't mind if I ask a question or two to see if I'm in the right place. But you mentioned a lot of times playability and playing with your dolls. What does that mean? Does it mean actually playing with them or maybe just fixing their hair. Usually when I get it all I take care of the box I fix her hair if she comes with multiple outfits I put her in the one I like the most and then that's it I display her. Yes, I perform regular maintenance on them as I dust, or you know sometimes that they need their hair washed I'll do that. And also the connecting with the doll. Is that just a way saying that they'll be certain dolls that you just know when you look at a them you have to have them? Thank you so much it is much appreciated😊 and I think I've watched one of your videos before did you just recently get married? You remind me of somebody she's around 27, and she just got married. I watched a video a while ago, and it was a lot of fun. I think it might've been you. Thank you again.❤

    Something that will completely ruin a doll for me is bad hair quality.
    If I can't brush a doll's hair, for whatever reason, hair style, type, whatever, I am still ok as long as I can touch it and it feels nice. If I'm supposed to be able to brush a doll's hair and can't because it frizzes, sticks and/or tangles right back up, it is a deal breaker for me. I do know how to boil wash and use a straightener on low heat and all that. Some doll hair is completely unsavable. That acetate hair for example.
    That is the one thing that will completely ruin a doll for me.
