I love the “informal” set-up because your joy is honestly so contagious! On or off screen you never fail to make me smile!
Your mom is literally the greatest mom in the entire universe
I’d have to argue that mine should be tied for that title at least. She’s my biggest supporter. Always buys me dolls I like when she has the money!
@@vampyrekyng_lex you're mom is also tied for that award
Hi! I’m an arab doll collector, just wanted to share “Amal” is pronounced “em-elle” put some stres on the “e” (like the letter أ ) soft on the m, and less stress on the “elle”. its a bit hard to explain in writing but i hope this helps!
Thank you! I’ve seen the name written but never given the pronunciation much thought and generally the translators spit things back at me with strange intonation that’s not always accurate aha
@@xCanadensis no problem! glad i could help, i think its really cool that you have a minor in arabic :-) its such a beautiful language- and so are these dolls! thanks for the cool video sharing them 💓💓
I love love this format, it makes me feel like im chillin with a friend that would be impossible to have here in the Bible Belt😅 although I got to see a little boy come by the doll aisle in walmart with mom picking out a Barbie for him! Even though dad acted embarrassed, mom was affirming 🥲💖 sorry for the cheesey story
Side note, i really like how the blurbs for each character has a little message of hope for the kid that plays with these
I love this format! a diffrent vibe, less professional but just as informitive! Love these dolls and your videos!
Congrats Brooke ! Happy u got ur grails ! I’m an Arab Muslim collector and never knew these dolls existed 👀 definitely added these to my wishlist 🙈
I just did a little research. New Boy is based in Dubai UAE and sells toys in USA, Europe, India, Korea, Indonesia that's why theirs a lot of English on the packaging. They also make the Fulla doll which is the Middle East version of Barbie. The dolls are an interesting mix of cultural values and more progress lifestyles. Where as Barbie can do whatever she wants Fulla has restrictions but she is teaching young girls to broaden their horizons.
They look more like the Winx characters than the actual Winx dolls
Love them!!!!
I really like videos about less well known dolls like Arabian Friends because I get to be introduced to such cool dolls and even if I don't want them I get to see you be happy with them.
Hi Brooke ☺️ fellow Arab doll collector here! Had no idea you minored in Arabic and know the language that’s awesome ♥️ I remember these dolls advertised in the fulla Comics they used to sell back in the day. They looked beautiful. Theirs an Arabic cartoon channel called spacetoon that would also air the commercials of them. Sad they didnt last long but their definitely a gem 💎 maybe the fact that fulla was all the hype back then it was hard to market them well. Definitely remember them being sold in our version of Target or wallmart lol hope you snag the last character ☺️ goodluck! ♥️
I was the person on Twitter that got Ahlam! I was admittedly a little vague about the other ebay postings because I was thinking of going back and biting the bullet for Dunya, so I'm so happy you got her and I get to watch the unboxing! I still have mine in box because I'm planning on unboxing her for a special occasion (my birthday is also soon). I have a lot of ties to Lebanon and am trying to learn arabic so they're super special!
Oh, and I also have an absolutely insane saved search string for ebay to try to catch them if someone doesn't know what they have... so it was really funny that they turned up because the person just had them in the box, haha.
The green Arabian friends doll is also a grail of mine… So jealous’
I love this format too ! It’s fun and laid back. :) these dolls are so cool! Thank you for sharing them with us
Yippee the Arabian Friends dolls!!!! 🩵🩷
They’re really pretty. The faces are so cute. I’m happy that you keep getting your grails! It’s so special your mom bought these too
Super cool I'm glad you finally got them, as Arabic is my mother tongue you are pronouncing most of the words exceptionally well for Amal if you want to say it like Arabs it would be Aamal, from the packaging I can see the toy brand is New boy it's a well known brand at Arab countries they are based in united Arab of Emirates and they produce and distribute and even import from other international toy brands, stationary, nurseries and at some point they were at food production as well but I don't think they are anymore, so the English on the packaging is a normal thing for them as they trade and distribute at Europe and sometimes USA, they carry a lot of important toy brands to distribute at Arabian countries such like Hasbro and Disney
Omg when i lived in Tunisia i remember seeing Fulla dolls - i am kicking myself for not buying one, they are so hard to find - and they are so beautiful!
Congrats!!!! That is soooo cool! I agree with strudel...your mom is awesome!
First! And theese dolls are beautiful 😍
Hello - We are all in envy. What a delightful duo. We will have to look out for those in the hope of finding at least one. Thank you for sharing. Happy collecting!
The heads mold, the bodies, the shaped boxes and the 2000's fashion really give me Winx Club dolls by Giochi Preziosi vibes... 😅
They are made by the same company so no surprise xD
Even the W.i.t.c.h dolls by Giochi preziosi have similar faces to Winx Club by giochi preziosi.The company probably reused the face mold and bodies over and over again 😅
@@fireblast4642 This is weird because I didn't see the Giochi Preziosi on the boxes in the video.
But for the Giochi Preziosi dolls, it never have surprised me: almost all their dolls from the 2000's years have the same mold. No wonder that there were people who didn't see the difference between Winx Club and W.i.t.c.h. XD
@@LucElementix Yes I think they only had 2 molds in the early 2000s:one for western cartoons like Witch or Winx and one mold for animes like:Mew mew power,Sailor moon and Mermaid Melody.Probably little me would've gotten Stella and Cornelia mixed up in the store if they had their clothes mixed up xD
So refreshing to see open minded angels!!!!
❤❤❤❤
They have very Disney like faces. Especially Amal. Very pretty.
Those dolls are so pretty! So happy for you that your found them! I didn't know you studied arabic in college, what made you interested in learning it? I think i heard you say before you work in the museum field and I'd love to hear more about that and how it relates to doll collecting!
I love your old video style!
Amal is soo pretty with her pigtails and cherry shirt 🥺 they're both beautiful but she's my favorite 🥰
Always a pleasure watching your energy that you have in collecting dolls.❤👌👍
That is so exciting. I watched an unboxing of one or both of the other dolls. They are so pretty and fun.
Congratulations !!
my holiest grails are the mermaid melody dolls from Korea and the one from japan. they’re SO rare. I’ve only see 3 of the Japanese one and none of the Korean ones
my impossible grail is deer a doe drom novi stars cant find her anywhere and the few times i do shes like 600 plus
This is my favorite format from you! I can’t wait to see the dolls on dollect :)
I love this type of videos
Congrats on this great find!!! 🎉
these dolls are very pretty! i love their faces.
I want more dolls to have maxi skirts cause it’s cute and you can make some cute boho outfits with them if you have the right colour of skirt
so funny i was just watching your fullah doll video last night, i was curious about how you learned arabic. so this video came at the perfect time! i love learning about other doll lines around the world!
Elas são tão lindas, não as conhecia 🧡
Gostaria muito de te ver abrindo uma boneca Susi daqui do Brasil kk
Yay you got more Arabian friends doll congrats
I liked this video. Chatty videos have their place for sure. ❤
Congratulations 🎉 and happy birthday 🎁
Omg! You got more!
I cannot believe it 😭
@@xCanadensis They're so amazing, I love them
Happy you got them :)
Cute dolls love their outfits 😊
How the hell did you even find these that is a feat of itself
I recognize that tape! Thats the same seller I got one of my holy grails from as well! I was able to get an in box Bratzillaz Vampelina from them and I love her so much
Oh those are fabulous. I’m so happy for you ❤❤
I’m so Happy for you 🥹💗🥰!
Love whatever you want to do! But also love the obsure dolls too though!
An impossible grail for me isn't a doll, but it's the Yokai Watch Hikari Orochi model figure. It's nearly impossible to find one for sale that ships to the US.
yasss they are so cute ♥
I love all of your video's, the informal ones I like more because of your enthusiasm ❤ Love your channel ❤
I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! i also missed the 'just chatting' videos 💕
Love the videos like this Brooke!! personally
happy b-day! And those look amazing. Very unique.
I like to display my dolls fully-accessorized . Perhaps you can seal some of the vinyl purses with clear nail polish just to avoid peeling.?
Love these so happy to see you collect them and talk about them. I think her name is am-al like al like alice. ❤ but so cute to see more of the arabian friends, ive begun asking friends who fly out to the east regularly to grab me a fulla x
Thank you so much!!
If you’re savvy shopping online- Fulla seem pretty common from sites in Malaysia. I’ve never found the ones I’m looking for so I never go through with any purchases but they are there!
@@xCanadensis thank you honestly ive been hunting and theres been 3 overpriced listings on ebay for ever. Im in the uk and not familiar with using proxy sites to buy from other markets. If you have a good recommendation for sites please id love to know
@@xCanadensis honestly i just need one hijabi to judge the rest of my dolls. 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🤣 im muslim and queer so i need that story in my doll display
I understand your holy grail system. Cuz I have a few grail dolls that I would be able to get but they are so abundant. So I get trying to get the rarer dolls. Like mine is one that I won't say here but she is a Disney LE.
And your fluency in arabic is extremely impressive i hope you know that xx
i would have removed the plastic wrap too I mean have you seen what it does to doll boxes from the 60? they do not look good when it shrinks
They look like the Winx Club Dolls
Hi Dolls 👋 Congrats 🎉
I love this format when you are behind the table talking and dolls behind ❤❤ and you are so pretty that’s sad you feel that way. Also loveeee the obscure doll videos
I love your channel happy Friday
omgg
21:55 The Reference Newboy used was a Tanya Doll! It was an Italian Version Of Sindy and most of the first edition dolls used Sindy/Tanya "Jeans" Outfits
their faces remind me of Disney fairies
Stun
Omg! I love these so much! Where would one even find these living in the US?
hey brooke! I think this kind of videos are better few months ago i started to not watch your videos i get why now. even tho these are sometimes longer now that i came across this video i think these are more entertaining!💕Maybe you could post both
And english is not öy main language so sorry if there is any mistakes🫶🏻
Are you collecting the dolls from the latest Barbie movie with Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling? What did you think of the dolls? I can't find several of them in any of the stores in my area, specially the white dress and hat with pastel striping on the dress!
Amal is beautiful.
Can you explain the dollect discord in more detail in a video please? Thanks!
I’m not sure what you mean? The discord is just a group chat for dollect users
What are the other dolls that look like this?
Open the boxes already !!
The time it took to comment could have been used to skip forward 🫡
Sealing the dolls in plastic is fine for shipping but not good for storing the dolls.
I love your channel because of the more personal vibe. Super polished videoes aren't as interesting.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
the name is pronounced amal. “uh-mal”
Not all middle eastern people are Muslim some arabs are Christian so you could let them be without hijab
Of course! Also Muslim women don’t wear Hijab all the time. And not all Muslim women choose to wear it and many people who aren’t Muslim wear it.
I’m worried because of this comment - did I say they must wear their hijab always??
@xCanadensis no you didn't at all! you said I don't wanna take hijab off the box and make new one you could but im just saying you you can make few character be without hijab or etc because some people think if they don't put hijab on doll( I saw it with fulla dolls) they are being disrespectful I'm just saying style or display them how you want love you 🩷🎀
You look like Dakota Johnson,
Omg I missed ur more casual videos this was so fun to watch🫶🫶🫶 I’m really glad u finally got these dolls !!
