Resin for kids is insane. The aquarium my partner works at tried to introduce a resin craft to their birthday parties, to which I said "that is a terrible idea, it will not end well" because it is true that resin is safe IF you follow the safety instructions- which will tell you that you need a respirator and "well ventilated area" by which they mean a dedicated space with a robust ventilation system, not just opening a window. Obviously they never intended to sink thousands of dollars into protective gear and a new ventilation system. It didn't last long. A kid got resin in their eyes and that's when everyone learned that the procedure for that is flushing your eyes with water for 15 minutes. I predicted this, and every day that aquarium doesn't hire me as a director of children's programming is a mistake 😂
Dude when i was like 15-16 i would be using resin in my bedroom just for fun. No respirator nothinggg. It really is crazy, and it forever stained my favorite sleeping pants 🦧
@@em84cat least they’ve started marketing the mini series towards adults and doing collabs with more teen/adult appeal like Lord of the Rings or Netflix. the RH dolls are blatantly aimed at kids and look like they require way more resin pouring
My brother and I are utterly terrified by resin crafts. It's a heavy duty thing, you can't do it indoors, it's messy and sticky... Weird that they even proposed that for kids
The crash and burn of Rainbow High is so sad because I started collecting because of RH. And now, I don’t even want what’s on the shelves. I’m buying second hand because I don’t want any of the new ones. It’s depressing.
Is it that big a deal their making gimmick dolls? That's been a thing with dolls since the 70s with Barbie, we're not always gonna be the target audience for these types of doll brands.
@@elizabethclarke4981It's also the removal of wrist articulation and downgrade in clothing quality and fashion. I like a few of the newer ones but it feels like rh kinda lost what made them so unique.
Ken's tracksuit says "out for a jog" and I like the mental image of him out in the early morning jogging and listening to Walkin' On Sunshine, oblivious to the world. Dorky, trying to stay in shape but not developing muscles, looks bad in pastels - by God, they've done it! They've made a doll perfectly representing my life!
i love jinafire’s design, but i really think she could have horns on her head. chinese dragons have horns and it would help make it more clear that she is a dragon, as well as have something on her head since i really think that’s missing.
i feel like resin isn't suitable for children under 14, tbh. it's quite a dangerous substance, you have to wear gloves, open a window and wear a mask to not breathe in the fumes. like. whose tween got the fine motor skills and comprehension to do all that? i know i don't, and i'm in my 20s 🥲 obvs mga doesn't give a flying fuck, but that's bizzare, throwig money like that.
2024 My Scene Barbie shops at Shein, 2024 My Scene Madison shops at Temu, 2024 My Scene Chelsea thrifts...but she's one of those girlies who do too much, drops a hundred grand in one thrifting trip and resells the pieces she got on Depop for three times they're worth. That's just the vibe they give to me
Dream Besties Ken looks like he’s dressed for a 12-hour flight to Malibu. This is the kind of spotless, fashionable tracksuit smart rich people wear to stay warm and comfortable sleeping in a chair while I regret my life choices the next row over.
I really feel like Mattel only really brought My Scene just to say "There we brought back My Scene so stop asking for it", because the lack of personality in the boxes is such a huge teller for me that they don't really care about it. Not even updated artwork, a huge waste. A huge shame because I was really hoping into getting into My Scene. On another note, I'm so against the Dream Besties, but their Ken doll is actually really cute for some reason. Idk I just want more boy dolls that aren't so aggressively masculine for playline dolls.
What is it about the dream besties you don't like? Just curious, I think they're fine but I have no big passionate feelings about them one way or the other lol.
@@toxicsugarart2103 Not OP, but I dislike Dream Bestie heads/faces for the same reason I disliked Ever After High heads/faces. They're quite round, but not enough to have a highly stylized appearance the way Rainbow High did, and the girls all have a sort of Cabbage Patch thing going on with the facial proportions.
@@toxicsugarart2103I'm ngl, I'm really salty over the fact Extra got canned when it was getting really good and it didn't helped this line got announced and it feels like a downgrade since I'm not a fan of the body proportions and the flat faces. It's trying to appeal the big-headed dolls that are popular rn and while I like dolls like that, it didn't translate well in the Besties line except Ken imo. I will get Brooklyn, Barbie, and Ken since I'd love to design clothes for them but anything else I'm not interested.
I think my biggest disappointment with the my scene is their box tbh, it needs so much more personality. The sad thing is that I think the quality is all there is just the lack of direction and playing it too safe, but I am still hoping that my scene will get a full release with more characters
The difference in head size for Ken and Daisy is really jarring tbh. I like Daisy’s dress though! I see what you mean but I think it’s cute that they’re acknowledging the crochet trend with it. Also the Reed doll is gorgeous!!
i used to work in a toy shop and i always thought it was insane how many parents bought their young kids miniverse. tbh i'm not really sure if most parents were even aware that it was resin and how dangerous resin can be. to include it with rainbow high dolls when clearly rh has been aiming at a younger audience just seems ridiculous
I went and saw Wicked all by myself because I could NOT wait for any of my friends to go see it with me. I’ll just see it a second time with them I guess lol. When those opening notes of No One Mourns the Wicked boomed in with the power of that SIXTY PIECE orchestra, I about died. 10/10, Jon Chu popped off
I have been trying to get tickets to see it with my partner and it is sold out 😢 I'm heavily considering buying handicap space and a companion seat and just sitting in my walker 😂
Trust me, those resin craft Rainbow High dolls are getting recalled if I ever see them anywhere. I'm a crafter / miniature artis who works with resin (mostly UV- resin because it's safer and faster, and yes, I have a respirator but I'm also much, much older and over my reproductive age and don't have any males - who can't ever be - near me *waves an ace flag* so I simply don't care if I get a few burns when I mess up with my gloves). I'm fine with the craft balls because the resin is the main gimmick and it's basically one the parents to know what they buy to their kids - they are also labelled over the age of 8-yrs. They should come with a UV lamp tho. But the dolls, parents will buy them to a three year old and let them make a mess with everything inside and then go ham at the nurses in the ER when his skin is peeling off and he is sh*tting blood. Sorry to be grass and I'm preaching to the choir here, but hopefully a parent or a doll designer also sees this.
I was never into MyScene, but those reproductions are such a major stepdown from the OG outfits. I really hate Madison's outfit. It's like someone who knew nothing about Y2k put that together. $300?? AG is already expensive at over $100. You put a pink dress on the doll and sell for more than double the price as a collector? Crazy
I like Madison's fit because I do somewhat enjoy the very vaguely inspired by y2k fashion of today, but yeah if they were trying to replicate a genuine accurate y2k vibe that is not it.
i collect a decent amount of toys, just not dolls, but im ngl everytime i see a new video from you i always have to click. i love hearing rants abt toys, especially dolls.
So tempted to go grab the Dream Besties Daisy just so I can crochet her an actual granny square dress. While I'm glad they didn't do actual crochet, that print and dress shape is beyond sad.
Are you glad that it's not actual crochet because it's notoriously hard to mass produce in an ethical way? I hang around slow fashion spaces and I heard this a lot when there was a lot of granny square looks at fast fashion places (ie: target) a few years back. I'm with you if that's the case. Mattel gets a lot of flack for cutting corners, but I feel they do so at the trade off for, I dunno, paying their employees fairly, hopefully.
@@novembercrust That's the exact reason why I'm glad it's not crochet. It fills me with a particular kind of fury when I see it in Target and Walmart. It's really that the over all quality of the dress looks like a hastily slapped together after thought, especially when compared to other dolls in the same price bracket!
Even though I'm a Bratz collector, I was so disappointed with the MyScene dolls. As someone who was the target age when the dolls came out. The MyScene dolls were so beautiful back then. Idk why Mattel did them dirty with the release. They deserve bigger hype
MGA, Mattel, all these corporations have completely lost touch with consumers. It's like they live in some ivory tower and have no idea how regular people think & feel. It just gets worse as the wealth gap increases. 🤷 What's a degree in marketing entail these days? A bunch of posers? Did they do away with test marketing focus groups???
"But which you should buy soon because they might get recalled" I don't purchase dolls in store basically ever, I only thrift, but... I AM tempted as hell to buy it to see what warnings are on the package and see how safe it is, as an artist who does some resin crafts. Last year as resin craft kits were "taking off" I reviewed one I found at the dollar store that proclaimed it was 8+ and like... I would NOT. also i find it funny you were so apologetic about not knowing who Karol G is, meanwhile im over here like "I dont know who that is and i wish doll lines would stop inventing celebrities to make dolls out of" ToT I have never heard of either of those random people, I just like dolls yknow.
oh im always SO happy to see a new yass or pass, i love this series absolutely fascinated by the rainbow high resin craft dolls. please put the recall in a future video if (when) it happens :p
The sparse doll packaging has me going hmmm lately. MGA has been doing it with Bratz, and the Myscene ones look similarly sad. I'm not saying I want lots of garbage, but if they have to trim costs, don't make it look so obvious. And lazy. Makes me depressed
The absolute easiest thing in the world would be to give the backdrop cool artwork to fill the space and make it relevant to the doll's personality. They don't need all those little plastic tag things holding every accessory, but like that Powerpuff Girls ripoff heart thing is just so boring.
@@psychotophatcat exactly, the original myscene boxes or even the items inside weren't super elaborate either, but they designed the outer box in an interesting way and had the cute art decorating it so that it felt complete
The anticipation of the Rainbow High dolls being recalled is honestly the only thinking making me interested in them because I honestly feel like they could end up infamous. Not Happy Family Midge levels of infamous, but maybe Skydancers infamous. At least Rollerblade Barbie (the one with sparking skates) infamous.
i was gonna get the Harris Reed doll (even tho i didn't know the designer) but then at checkout it said 130$ with shipping and i just ragequit my browser
The original line of My Scene dolls came with literally a tube top and a mini skirt as the second "outfit". Mattel couldn't even include two bitty scraps of fabric, just to maintain the "two outfit minimum" standard of the originals. It's just unacceptable and ridiculous. Nothing they have ever done, up until this point, has disappointed me like this My Scene collector line.
my problem with the new jinafire is that she should have straight black hair. her design is already plenty detailed, it would benefit from some negative space anyway, and it would actually match her eyebrows AND HER MODEL IN THE SHOW?? i cannot comprehend the decision to give her wavy purple hair
they probably had some extra resin lying down on their factories from miniverse recalls so they dumped it to somewhere they already killed the crops of, not fully related but im so sick of the rainbow+unicorn theming like even as a young girl i hated how common it was do younglings still go crazy over them ? like its not 2018 anymore can we leave it behind there are other themes to base toys off of 😪
The idea of rainbows and unicorns being a 2018 thing is sending me. Lisa Frank rose to school-supply dominance in the late 80s. The first My Little Pony toys came out in 1983. The Last Unicorn came to theaters in 1982 and the book it was based on was published in 1968. It's a timeless subject.
honestly, I am waiting for the day Bratz celebrity collab don’t feel boring. I don’t know maybe it’s just me but the celebrity collab never feel that interesting
Im glad they did a more relevant celebrity bc Karol G does fit the Bratz aesthetic. I just wish they’d chosen her actually fun and iconic outfits instead. At first glance I thought she was Sabrina Carpenter (which I would LOVE a doll of)
I need the bratz team to be more strategic with the celebrity dolls... you see, when Barbie does celebrity dolls, they have more of an appeal... I know of karol g, but even when she was leaked, it seemed people were just kinda meh about her... bratz should probably get a different concept team to work on celeb dolls because oof! I'll get her is she shows up at Ollie's one day cuz her base doll is cute!
I was curious too to see Ken DREAM Besties doll and, after discovering his animated version, he is actually cute. Can't say the same for the outfits. But now, I'm wondering if this Ken can wears the Rainbow High & Shadow High boy outfits. It would be a good way to remplace his wardrobe. PS: Yes, Wicked was awesome. 🤩I went to the premiere in my language and I'm actually waiting for the official release date to watch it in original version.
Okay, what I'm considering getting: I saw Daisy and knew I had to have her. She's my favorite non-barbie barbie character. I don't love her dress but I'm willing to overlook that for Daisy. I think that RH needs to stop with these crafty dolls because they're just not it and they aren't selling well, at least where I'm at. But I do think Skyle is super cute and I want her. She's pretty yet cartoonish in a way I find adorable
New video, yay! Dolls - I had not realized that the RH dolls were resin-crafting. Ikes. Will still probably try to get the new girl, Bella, and Skyler, since I have plenty of outfits I can replace the plastic with. Monster High - got the Witch Weaver collector - gorgeous! The whole package sparkles! You can't see it in the photos, but it's sooo pretty under lights! Love the doll, had no idea who Harris Reed was prior to this, but he seems really cool! Can't wait to find Jin in stores, because I really like her as well. The scooter and Drac.... Much as I like the scooter, I don't need another doll vehicle. Most dolls that come with vehicles I get on clearance, and donate the vehicle. The exceptions are Braeburn the dragon for Apple White and Ghoulia's scooter from G1. Scooter!Ghoulia is one of my favorite versions of her. The Dream Besties.... Not sure how I feel about them. Ken has the "boy doll side shave" going on, which got old years ago. They're oddly sized dolls. One thing I did realize the other day: RH dolls and Descendants Rise of Red dolls can swap outfits. They don't match up exactly, but I could fit Red's Sorcerer's Cookbook outfit (minus the shorts) onto Ruby Anderson, and Ruby's outfit fits Red really well. In case anyone wants to use Ruby and Robin and Bella to make customs of Red, Chloe, and Bridget.
Myscene would have been a hit if they just released a reproduction line!!! That's all we wanted! 😭 The new my scene dolls don't have the same vibe as the original ones.
15:45 Regarding Mattel Creations x Fashion designer collaborations: I'm still holding out hope for a Betsey Johnson collab. Or even an exclusive for Hot Topic, or Killstar, Disturbia, or.....
@@psychotophatcat I feel like it's made for Draculaura, but Betsey could do something for all the ghouls, in each individual style, but her pink & black themed are custom made for Draculaura. 🥰
I see this Carol G doll doing just as well as the Kylie doll did or I guess does because last time I checked there were still Kylie doll’s in the clearance section at Walmart.
Personally I like the resin kits, but they are FOR SURE not for kids. It's something you need gloves and goggles for, in a large well-ventilated space even with small measures, and cleanup isn't just soap and water. Happy to snipe these dolls for the cute molds though. Gimme.
The crystal rh are odd if they ate marketed to eight plus unless they ate targeting the ag kids that still play with dolls into tweens and teens. Very young children can't have them because if the resin but the plastic clothes on a fashion doll would turn off older children very strange release ❤
I love love loveee the Odile face mold and really hope they replace millie with her. Most barbies have default wide eyes and I think the fox/cat eye look is different and pretty
I was never into RH, but I know one thing their fans loved was the attention to detail of the clothes. The only dolls I remember having plastic clothes as a kid was Polly. Even the Barbie knock off at Dollar Tree had clothes. My kids are gonna be snobby little purists. Plastic clothes at 8 years old? 😂😂 Don't make me laugh. So yeah again who is this for?
Im so excited for the playline Odille! Ive gotten into Barbie this year. I hate the first wave My Scene faces so I hate thats what the repros are based on. The outfits are ok. Better quality than what they usually give Barbie. I love Madison's pants.
ok about american girl, i’m also super interested in in adult collector releases but it feels like all the AG collector releases just have ill placed swarovski crystal & then a 200-300 price tag ToT if the quality and design stood up i’d be more forgiving but man. a few crystals is not worth an extra $100!!! and this is coming from a dollfie collector!!!
Hi, as a OG My Scene doll collector I was so excited anticipating this new release…until they came out 🙁. I was hoping Mattel would do a true reproduction just as MGA did with the Bratz, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case. Not to say the dolls are bad or ugly, but they aren’t what I was hoping for. And like you said, My Scene was famous for having 2nd outfits and accessories and they couldn’t even do that, and this just adds more insult to injury. Anyway, I don’t know if I’ll buy them or not. I’ll see. Thank you for the insightful video.
Hey, glad you liked Wicked. I absolutely loved it. I've seen it twice and it gets better every time. Not sure what all the hate is about but I found it to be an engaging and delightful musical and I normally don't like musicals all that much. I have always sympathized with the Wicked Witch character and Cynthia Erivo was perfect in the role. I was also really impressed with Ariana Grande as well. I can't wait for part 2 and I am going to be listening to the Wicked audiobook by Gregory Maguire soon. This is the book that started it all. I even got the Wicked Witch doll lol. Happy Holidays!
Wicked was AMAZING. The bar was very low, but I'm so shocked with how well it was. Those three hours flew by, and although people are upset about it being in two parts, it could have never been one in one. I saw it almost a week ago and can't stop thinking about it.
I don’t mind that Jinnafire doesn’t have the sculpting, but her green skin doesn’t say “dragon” to me. She looks like a zombie or Frankstein’s monster. I miss her being completely gold and I agree she needs horns.
@@Serithe That’s understandable, but why not make her all one color? This half and half just doesn’t look good. Since they made Lagoona pink, why not have Jinnafire be blue? Chinese dragons are more associated with water than fire.
resin can be so dangerous it’s actually insane to me that anyone thought it was a good idea for kids toys. actually stupid as hell, the bar has never been lower.
Also even if the RH crystal dolls didnt have plastic clothing they still wont be vey appealing to adults They r dressed like 5 year olds n amaya has a big bold spot where her hair is braided
Genuine question about Wicked. Would you suggest it for someone who really REALLY doesn't care for the stage play? Or is it one of those for5 the fans kinda movies.
fr i had no idea My Scene was back. I went poking around in Myer the other day and just STUMBLED across them in the aisle and when i tell u I almost SCREAMED oh my goddddd.
I will be going absolutely feral this week when I get the notification my g3 jinafire is out for delivery. I've been waiting for what feels like months
I mean Chelsea is in my opinion the best out of the My Scene line up. I can't look at Barbie without imagining her entire outfit crackling in a few years time.
Have you seen the rooting pattern under Amaya's bun ? There is no hair at all ! What the hell MGA you know kids and adult might want to change her hairstyle🤦♀️
You articulated my feelings about the 2024 My Scene girlies perfectly. I did wind up buying Barbie, as I was saving my work gift card to get myself something nice :')
Wicked was so fucking good. I am so hard on movie musicals but they really nailed it. My partner who has never seen the stage version and isn't super into musicals loved it too.
IMO you can tell the quality of a movie musical and how much faith a studio has in its success by the number of awful celebrity stunt casts there are. Wicked really only wasted the parts of Glinda and the Wizard.
I love your shelving, I know you posted a link at one time, could you post it again? I want to see if they have them in Black and white now. (White verticals/black shelves to go with my harlequin vibe) Thanks 🙂🖐️
TOMMY FEBRUARY6 MENTIONED?!!! yessss girl!!! bella is SO cute i havent been interested at all in the new rainbow high dolls but all of those have very cute faces. theyre just a little too.. plasticky for me lol
If Mattel was smart they'd reproduce the Estrela Rockers dolls because they're insane, awesome designs (lace bodysuit with nothing underneath Barbie!) and not easy to find haha
Recently bought Madison and the Mariah doll today. There was a buy 1, buy 2 for 50% deal on Amazon so I got it. Tbh I wanted free shipping on a small order of hair accessories, but also wanted to check if there were still any deals going on lol.
14:16 oh I feel so called out right now except instead of tommy february6 it’ll probably be Tommy heavenly6 (all thanks to gothic pink)…the im@s songs always have my Spotify wrapped in a chokehold

@@novembercrust That's the exact reason why I'm glad it's not crochet. It fills me with a particular kind of fury when I see it in Target and Walmart.
It's really that the over all quality of the dress looks like a hastily slapped together after thought, especially when compared to other dolls in the same price bracket!
idk why the stock images for my scene barbie lacks lip liner cus ive had this doll for about a week and she does indeed have lip liner
Iirc they all do, but very faintly. It needed to be stronger for sure.
@@Chilakkuma13 agreed
Even though I'm a Bratz collector, I was so disappointed with the MyScene dolls. As someone who was the target age when the dolls came out. The MyScene dolls were so beautiful back then. Idk why Mattel did them dirty with the release. They deserve bigger hype
MGA, Mattel, all these corporations have completely lost touch with consumers. It's like they live in some ivory tower and have no idea how regular people think & feel. It just gets worse as the wealth gap increases. 🤷 What's a degree in marketing entail these days? A bunch of posers? Did they do away with test marketing focus groups???
You have the best shirts everytime!
IDOLMASTER MENTIONED IN A DARLING DOLLZ VIDEO???????? I NEED TO KNOW WHICH BRANCHES YOU STAN
The original 765pro girls will always have a special place in my heart (especially Iori), but I keep up with deresute too as a dedicated MomokaP!
"But which you should buy soon because they might get recalled" I don't purchase dolls in store basically ever, I only thrift, but... I AM tempted as hell to buy it to see what warnings are on the package and see how safe it is, as an artist who does some resin crafts. Last year as resin craft kits were "taking off" I reviewed one I found at the dollar store that proclaimed it was 8+ and like... I would NOT.
also i find it funny you were so apologetic about not knowing who Karol G is, meanwhile im over here like "I dont know who that is and i wish doll lines would stop inventing celebrities to make dolls out of" ToT I have never heard of either of those random people, I just like dolls yknow.
oh im always SO happy to see a new yass or pass, i love this series
absolutely fascinated by the rainbow high resin craft dolls. please put the recall in a future video if (when) it happens :p
The My Scene dolls remind me of that period when RuPaul was wearing her wigs too far back.
The sparse doll packaging has me going hmmm lately. MGA has been doing it with Bratz, and the Myscene ones look similarly sad. I'm not saying I want lots of garbage, but if they have to trim costs, don't make it look so obvious. And lazy. Makes me depressed
Especially since the prices are still quite high 😔
The absolute easiest thing in the world would be to give the backdrop cool artwork to fill the space and make it relevant to the doll's personality. They don't need all those little plastic tag things holding every accessory, but like that Powerpuff Girls ripoff heart thing is just so boring.
@@psychotophatcat exactly, the original myscene boxes or even the items inside weren't super elaborate either, but they designed the outer box in an interesting way and had the cute art decorating it so that it felt complete
They look like slim box dolls, just give us slim boxes, don't lie to us 😭
The anticipation of the Rainbow High dolls being recalled is honestly the only thinking making me interested in them because I honestly feel like they could end up infamous. Not Happy Family Midge levels of infamous, but maybe Skydancers infamous. At least Rollerblade Barbie (the one with sparking skates) infamous.
Same lmao
I liked iris already but hearing that they could be recalled made me want her even more
i was gonna get the Harris Reed doll (even tho i didn't know the designer) but then at checkout it said 130$ with shipping and i just ragequit my browser
For Jinafire, i totally agree, a headpiece is missing, i was thinking of golden horns, since she is based on a dragon
As for scaly arms, depends on her future outfits i guess
The original line of My Scene dolls came with literally a tube top and a mini skirt as the second "outfit". Mattel couldn't even include two bitty scraps of fabric, just to maintain the "two outfit minimum" standard of the originals. It's just unacceptable and ridiculous. Nothing they have ever done, up until this point, has disappointed me like this My Scene collector line.
my problem with the new jinafire is that she should have straight black hair. her design is already plenty detailed, it would benefit from some negative space anyway, and it would actually match her eyebrows AND HER MODEL IN THE SHOW?? i cannot comprehend the decision to give her wavy purple hair
they probably had some extra resin lying down on their factories from miniverse recalls so they dumped it to somewhere they already killed the crops of,
not fully related but im so sick of the rainbow+unicorn theming like even as a young girl i hated how common it was
do younglings still go crazy over them ? like its not 2018 anymore can we leave it behind there are other themes to base toys off of 😪
The idea of rainbows and unicorns being a 2018 thing is sending me. Lisa Frank rose to school-supply dominance in the late 80s. The first My Little Pony toys came out in 1983. The Last Unicorn came to theaters in 1982 and the book it was based on was published in 1968. It's a timeless subject.
honestly, I am waiting for the day Bratz celebrity collab don’t feel boring. I don’t know maybe it’s just me but the celebrity collab never feel that interesting
Im glad they did a more relevant celebrity bc Karol G does fit the Bratz aesthetic. I just wish they’d chosen her actually fun and iconic outfits instead. At first glance I thought she was Sabrina Carpenter (which I would LOVE a doll of)
I need the bratz team to be more strategic with the celebrity dolls... you see, when Barbie does celebrity dolls, they have more of an appeal... I know of karol g, but even when she was leaked, it seemed people were just kinda meh about her... bratz should probably get a different concept team to work on celeb dolls because oof! I'll get her is she shows up at Ollie's one day cuz her base doll is cute!
I was curious too to see Ken DREAM Besties doll and, after discovering his animated version, he is actually cute. Can't say the same for the outfits. But now, I'm wondering if this Ken can wears the Rainbow High & Shadow High boy outfits. It would be a good way to remplace his wardrobe.
PS: Yes, Wicked was awesome. 🤩I went to the premiere in my language and I'm actually waiting for the official release date to watch it in original version.
I have my Harris Reed Witch Weaver on my coffee table freshly unboxed while watching this video. It's my new favorite in my collection for sure
Okay, what I'm considering getting:
I saw Daisy and knew I had to have her. She's my favorite non-barbie barbie character. I don't love her dress but I'm willing to overlook that for Daisy.
I think that RH needs to stop with these crafty dolls because they're just not it and they aren't selling well, at least where I'm at. But I do think Skyle is super cute and I want her. She's pretty yet cartoonish in a way I find adorable
New video, yay! Dolls - I had not realized that the RH dolls were resin-crafting. Ikes. Will still probably try to get the new girl, Bella, and Skyler, since I have plenty of outfits I can replace the plastic with. Monster High - got the Witch Weaver collector - gorgeous! The whole package sparkles! You can't see it in the photos, but it's sooo pretty under lights! Love the doll, had no idea who Harris Reed was prior to this, but he seems really cool! Can't wait to find Jin in stores, because I really like her as well. The scooter and Drac.... Much as I like the scooter, I don't need another doll vehicle. Most dolls that come with vehicles I get on clearance, and donate the vehicle. The exceptions are Braeburn the dragon for Apple White and Ghoulia's scooter from G1. Scooter!Ghoulia is one of my favorite versions of her. The Dream Besties.... Not sure how I feel about them. Ken has the "boy doll side shave" going on, which got old years ago. They're oddly sized dolls.
One thing I did realize the other day: RH dolls and Descendants Rise of Red dolls can swap outfits. They don't match up exactly, but I could fit Red's Sorcerer's Cookbook outfit (minus the shorts) onto Ruby Anderson, and Ruby's outfit fits Red really well. In case anyone wants to use Ruby and Robin and Bella to make customs of Red, Chloe, and Bridget.
Myscene would have been a hit if they just released a reproduction line!!! That's all we wanted! 😭 The new my scene dolls don't have the same vibe as the original ones.
I don't have any particular doll-related comments, but your hair is excellent in this video.
15:45 Regarding Mattel Creations x Fashion designer collaborations: I'm still holding out hope for a Betsey Johnson collab. Or even an exclusive for Hot Topic, or Killstar, Disturbia, or.....
A Betsey Johnson collab would be phenomenal, omg.
@@psychotophatcat I feel like it's made for Draculaura, but Betsey could do something for all the ghouls, in each individual style, but her pink & black themed are custom made for Draculaura. 🥰
And 16:06. 🖐️PS.... I LOVE that shade of red on Witch Weaver. 🥰
I love the headpiece on the Harris Reed doll
I see this Carol G doll doing just as well as the Kylie doll did or I guess does because last time I checked there were still Kylie doll’s in the clearance section at Walmart.
Good news for Carol G fans, who can hopefully pick the doll up for cheap if they're patient.
I was just binging some of your vids yesterday great timing!
Personally I like the resin kits, but they are FOR SURE not for kids. It's something you need gloves and goggles for, in a large well-ventilated space even with small measures, and cleanup isn't just soap and water. Happy to snipe these dolls for the cute molds though. Gimme.
I literally JUST came back from wicked!! It was wonderful, I cried three separate times and I laughed at every joke. Can't wait to see it again!!
the witch weaver doll is gorgeous, I have mine in hand and am loving them.
The crystal rh are odd if they ate marketed to eight plus unless they ate targeting the ag kids that still play with dolls into tweens and teens. Very young children can't have them because if the resin but the plastic clothes on a fashion doll would turn off older children very strange release ❤
I can’t wait for your end of the year video!! They are my favorite 🤩
I also have no idea who Karol G is but I love her fashions !
I love love loveee the Odile face mold and really hope they replace millie with her. Most barbies have default wide eyes and I think the fox/cat eye look is different and pretty
love your hair happy thanksgiving love the info
Wonder if it's a wig
I was never into RH, but I know one thing their fans loved was the attention to detail of the clothes.
The only dolls I remember having plastic clothes as a kid was Polly. Even the Barbie knock off at Dollar Tree had clothes. My kids are gonna be snobby little purists. Plastic clothes at 8 years old? 😂😂 Don't make me laugh. So yeah again who is this for?
The bi-yearly dragging out of Rainbow High's mutilated corpse to force a new gimmick into it every time is so tiring. Please let my queens rest.
Im so excited for the playline Odille! Ive gotten into Barbie this year.
I hate the first wave My Scene faces so I hate thats what the repros are based on.
The outfits are ok. Better quality than what they usually give Barbie. I love Madison's pants.
as a fellow Virgo , i can confirm we are born with excellent taste ♍️ ✨
ok about american girl, i’m also super interested in in adult collector releases but it feels like all the AG collector releases just have ill placed swarovski crystal & then a 200-300 price tag ToT if the quality and design stood up i’d be more forgiving but man. a few crystals is not worth an extra $100!!! and this is coming from a dollfie collector!!!
Tommy february6 mentioned! Hey My Friend from the Kamikaze Girls soundtrack is one of my favorite songs of all time
Hi, as a OG My Scene doll collector I was so excited anticipating this new release…until they came out 🙁. I was hoping Mattel would do a true reproduction just as MGA did with the Bratz, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case. Not to say the dolls are bad or ugly, but they aren’t what I was hoping for. And like you said, My Scene was famous for having 2nd outfits and accessories and they couldn’t even do that, and this just adds more insult to injury. Anyway, I don’t know if I’ll buy them or not. I’ll see. Thank you for the insightful video.
OMG.. no joke I am so hyped for Barbie and the Rockers, the movies live rent free in my head
Hey, glad you liked Wicked. I absolutely loved it. I've seen it twice and it gets better every time. Not sure what all the hate is about but I found it to be an engaging and delightful musical and I normally don't like musicals all that much. I have always sympathized with the Wicked Witch character and Cynthia Erivo was perfect in the role. I was also really impressed with Ariana Grande as well. I can't wait for part 2 and I am going to be listening to the Wicked audiobook by Gregory Maguire soon. This is the book that started it all. I even got the Wicked Witch doll lol. Happy Holidays!
I'm so excited to see Wicked this week!!
this video had me cracking up. i’ve missed watching you so much!!
Wicked was AMAZING. The bar was very low, but I'm so shocked with how well it was. Those three hours flew by, and although people are upset about it being in two parts, it could have never been one in one. I saw it almost a week ago and can't stop thinking about it.
I don’t mind that Jinnafire doesn’t have the sculpting, but her green skin doesn’t say “dragon” to me. She looks like a zombie or Frankstein’s monster. I miss her being completely gold and I agree she needs horns.
I think they changed her skin color because there were complaints from Asian fans that gold skin was a little too close to yellow face.
@@Serithe That’s understandable, but why not make her all one color? This half and half just doesn’t look good. Since they made Lagoona pink, why not have Jinnafire be blue? Chinese dragons are more associated with water than fire.
I saw wicked on thanksgiving!! such a good movie
I was waiting a new video! Yayy ☺️🎉
I'd just like to say your hair looks really good this episode
I saw this video dropped while I was with a friend and have been looking forward to it ever since ✨
resin can be so dangerous it’s actually insane to me that anyone thought it was a good idea for kids toys. actually stupid as hell, the bar has never been lower.
I love your channel thanks for sharing the new dolls coming up I'm very picky about my collection
I love your hair!
ok wait but your hair looks so pretty here omggg
Also even if the RH crystal dolls didnt have plastic clothing they still wont be vey appealing to adults
They r dressed like 5 year olds n amaya has a big bold spot where her hair is braided
I really needed this video omg🎉
Genuine question about Wicked. Would you suggest it for someone who really REALLY doesn't care for the stage play? Or is it one of those for5 the fans kinda movies.
Tommyfebruary will be taking over my Spotify wrapped as well, we have amazing taste 💅
fr i had no idea My Scene was back. I went poking around in Myer the other day and just STUMBLED across them in the aisle and when i tell u I almost SCREAMED oh my goddddd.
I will be going absolutely feral this week when I get the notification my g3 jinafire is out for delivery. I've been waiting for what feels like months
I mean Chelsea is in my opinion the best out of the My Scene line up. I can't look at Barbie without imagining her entire outfit crackling in a few years time.
Have you seen the rooting pattern under Amaya's bun ? There is no hair at all ! What the hell MGA you know kids and adult might want to change her hairstyle🤦♀️
Darling dollz is an idolmaster fan? Omg that's kinda unexpected but makes sense, amazing taste!
You articulated my feelings about the 2024 My Scene girlies perfectly. I did wind up buying Barbie, as I was saving my work gift card to get myself something nice :')
LOVE your totally spies shirt 💞💞
Wicked was so fucking good. I am so hard on movie musicals but they really nailed it. My partner who has never seen the stage version and isn't super into musicals loved it too.
IMO you can tell the quality of a movie musical and how much faith a studio has in its success by the number of awful celebrity stunt casts there are. Wicked really only wasted the parts of Glinda and the Wizard.
I know the dress is kinda bad and the purple shirt is horrific, but I actually love the pink jacket and silver skirt look for the Odile doll.
I love your t-shirt btw
I love your shelving, I know you posted a link at one time, could you post it again? I want to see if they have them in Black and white now. (White verticals/black shelves to go with my harlequin vibe) Thanks 🙂🖐️
TOMMY FEBRUARY6 MENTIONED?!!! yessss girl!!! bella is SO cute i havent been interested at all in the new rainbow high dolls but all of those have very cute faces. theyre just a little too.. plasticky for me lol
Yes! I love the American Girl coverage
I've watched Wicked today, I cried the entire time, it was like torture and I loved it
If Mattel was smart they'd reproduce the Estrela Rockers dolls because they're insane, awesome designs (lace bodysuit with nothing underneath Barbie!) and not easy to find haha
NGL, as a regular Resin user, I am IN LOVE with Skye and Bella! They look sooooo damn cute
the tyra banks impression was spot on!
Recently bought Madison and the Mariah doll today. There was a buy 1, buy 2 for 50% deal on Amazon so I got it.
Tbh I wanted free shipping on a small order of hair accessories, but also wanted to check if there were still any deals going on lol.
14:16 oh I feel so called out right now except instead of tommy february6 it’ll probably be Tommy heavenly6 (all thanks to gothic pink)…the im@s songs always have my Spotify wrapped in a chokehold
