Thank you for the video❤ We apologize for the situation with the skin tones, we have already been working towards a solution for this issue. Actually, this is our first and limited trial batch. Unfortunately, it appeared to be different from the character art, because at the initial stage our factory did not have enough capacity and reserves to produce dolls as we originally wanted. We hope to present the new dolls in the nearest future.
We hear you ❤
So great that you got to the bottom of why this new company wasn't able to pull off the skin tones.
I was talking to my boyfriend about this and he was like, "why couldn't they throw the image on photoshop to at least change the skin tone to match the doll and create a new character that is POC down the road?"
I was like, "hmmmmmmmm"
I agree about representing different skin tones. Companies should just know this by now. Rainbow High shouldve done this with the reboot. But, it hasnt stopped many collectors from still buying them. Hopefully RH will come out with a 2nd batch with a black doll for those children who like this new reboot.
I think Sunny is black, just with light skin. Her mom is the head.aster in the UA-cam show (she called her mom in an early episode and I'm pretty sure it wasn't a "blonde" moment.) But they definitely should have had a dark skin tone in the line up so there's wide enough representation for everyone.
@@DarhioVo not at all. I think just for children or parents who don't know the story, & are just looking for a doll on the shelf, Sunny doesn't appear black or any poc...she just looks tan.
@DarhioVo I can look into my family and tell you black comes in all shades and colors. To my albino cousins with pale white skin, blonde afros, and blue eyes to my cousins who have skin so dark, we call it blue black and all the shades in between. I have been around plenty of black folks to recognize my own, and I never discredit someone for not being black enough because of their hue or personality. Growing up black, I am also not ignorant of how reprensation for black people women specifically, has always been handled over the years to tell the world what is acceptable or beautiful for black people. Many times, when black women are heralded as beautiful or attractive, it always aligns with European beauty standards. Skinny, small/straight nose, straightened hair, and light skin. So seeing doll brands ONLY put out characters in this manner is disappointing. Wanting to have a doll that is darker to represent dark girls is actually needed. It's to let the children, the main target audience, know they are seen and they belong.
I came to collecting RH during series 2, so I just thought that Sunny and Krystal were the black girls. I didn't realize there were valid concerns about diversity and series 1 until later, and I can completely understand how people were upset about it. Sunny could have easily been tan, an ethnic white character, or of another race. The show is the only thing that really confirmed her being bla k for many people, and thats if they caught it. A tan girl with straight yellow/blonde hair and green eyes isn't what people automatically think when picturing a black woman, nor does it represent the majority of black women. And when talking about the dolls in general, Sunny, Marissa, Kaia(sp?), Hart, and Georgia are all in a similar range of skin tones with different undertones. And I dont think theyre all supposed to be the same ethnicity or culture. The only other "dark" character from series 1 is Skylar and would not consider her black. Parents, collectors. And girls want dolls that look like them. Doesn't mean they WILL NOT buy a doll of a different shade or ethnicity, but seeing yourself represented is AMAZING and affects people more than they think. Just watch the videos of black girls reacting to Halle Bailey as the Little Mermaid. Parents want to see that same reaction or give their kids the same feeling when buying toys that look like them.
I totally agree with you on representation in doll line/ toy line. When I saw the dolls initially I was like “Wow they are cute and articulation, I love it!” And watching your video with the box art I was like “Ooooooooooookkkkkkk that’s different 😅” I really hope in the next batch they follow through what they say. Btw love the hair color friend!
One of my first dolls that I had as a kid and it was for years my favorite and I still love to this day was Ballerina Cara. This was a black Barbie doll and obviously I am not black. That is to say different skin tones is not something only doll collectors want. I think kids also like different skin tones because they like a doll that looks like themselves or just find different skin tones beautiful and like diversity in their toys. I know I did as a young kid. Maybe start with a smaller line like three dolls with three different skin tones to test the waters. I think kids, parents and collectors alike would really appreciate it and also could create good buzz for the dolls.
THIS
I had 2 Sasha dolls (sadly both died) but I still played with one and put her broken head back on since I want my dolls to have diversity friends
The fact that the doll has a different skin tone than the art on the box is a deal breaker for me. I won't even consider these dolls. It feels like an insult to me that darker skin tones are a good concept but when it comes to production, we don't matter.
This is why and how i fell in love with bratz
If you plan on mass producing a fashion doll for international audiences, and don’t have the budget to give consumers a diverse set of dolls, then don’t bother producing the doll line at all.
I agree more research should have been done on their part.
Living for Bryce giving Ashnikko vibes, she looks extremely similar to the Star Darlingz Vega doll to me!
I disagree respectfully with those who say "there is plenty of diversity" in doll lines. For years, without giving my age, there was very little or no diversity in dolls. We are just now seeing the diversity. I don't mind that there are dolls only in one skin tone. I buy all skin tones. I like the diversity. Its ok to have a preference, especially if there is a choice. So when a company does just one skintone, they may actually leave money on the table, intentionally or unintentionally exclude groups and it is important to appeal to it's customer base or the massives if a company wants to make a profit. Buy what you like. But please DONT discouarge diversity in dolls. Its been a long time coming and its so easy to just cancel that approach. Its just feedback for the company. The company can make what they want of it. We all want quality dolls. We all want to like the dolls. We all want different types of dolls. This particular doll line does need some work on better pricing and appeal. If the dolls in general dont appeal to people, most people wont buy them.
Diversity should be the norm. We aren’t living in the 1900s, anyone who says that we have enough diversity elsewhere is getting a HUGE side eye from me. It’s a fashion design focused doll line, why would there not be diversity? as if fashion only has designers that are a lighter skin tone. It’s just crazy that people think that way.
Is it me or these dolls look pretty cheap?
so terrible ugly
They do lol. They look like cheaper clone dolls
They’re horrible!
@@RJ-nm6qtI’VE BEEN SAYING!! They look like the type of dolls you’d find at an obscure European toy store on vacation, next to like Monster High bootlegs or something
@@RJ-nm6qtI’VE BEEN SAYING. They remind of those dolls you’d find at an obscure European toy store next to like bootleg Monster High dolls or something
I'm almost postive these are rebranded Chinese dolls, I swear I've seen this exact face sculpt on a off brand mermaid doll I saw awhile ago on amazon. I could be wrong but they just look waaay to similar.
If you happen to find them let me know. I see other people saying the same about them being on aliexpress or temu. I wonder if that is what they did.
I think that's because the company is the one that also makes Kurhn and another asian doll? I will need to search a bit.
@@TheDollCircle I got some from AliExpress like 5 years ago that are similar, but these have better bodies, articulation and bigger heads and better rooted hair. But yes they are very similar, also the Blue haired doll is very much like a Disney Star Darlings I have. But they are cute. I get that they couldn't afford two tones and that the pale is cheaper.. but they should maybe have waited.
They look like cheap dolls you find at Burlington or Tj Max I’m confused mostly by the price it’s way to high in my humble opinion. I rarely dislike something right away but it’s a no for me. I want to know the hair quality that’s important to me because I restyle my dolls.
As always a great video with great information ❤🦄🌈
I will have to see about what kind of hair is used. I am not the best on knowing by touch.
I agree, they look SO cheap?? $35 is insane lol
These dolls are mark up Temu, Aliexpress, or Alibaba products that are massive drop shipping scam. I am happy that there's more diversity in the doll market but I am not the target audience for this. I value quality, creativity, and Value in my dolls. I loved the pixies dolls but don't require they look like me. My only complaint is that if this is being released to international market, then who did their market research as the humans come in many colors from around the planet.
I agree they should have done test on which countries and markets they want to sell in. I enjoy fantasy dolls, or dolls that don't look like actually humans. But I think these are a type of doll that is representing people from a school from a more realistic world.
Hi Elvira ,
I appreciate your challenging position trying to be objective. I also appreciate this video was a change from the millions of videos taking about rainbow high slime dolls. The dolls are pretty. Another highschool fashion doll. I remember when Rainbow High first launched, there was a ton of criticism around the lack of skin tone variety, now they have or had I should say lol a lot of unique skins tones and body shapes. For me there is something way off about this line - beyond skin tone The box is a huge miss There doesn’t seem to be a real logical storyline other than highschool. I feel like this line is doomed . There isn’t anything compelling here( for me at least )😮
They designed them to be diverse but the factory couldn’t handle the order, they said it’s being corrected. That is a pretty good answer.
Not one tuber said a word about naturalistas or latinistas. No shade just noticing. I thought that was weird, is diversity an issue or not. Peace and love.
What's wrong naturalistas and Latinas? Did they have an artwork does not match the doll issue as well?
Or are you implying that the doll lines themselves are wrong for making the dolls all one race to attack the issue that there are not enough black/Latina dolls on the market?
@@froggylegs1499 I love them. They’re beautiful. They just don’t have any diversity.
@mydollyroom5389 If you mean in terms of face and body than yes I agree. The naturalistas dolls did a great job capturing different skin tones of women of African decent but we have different faces and body types as well and none of that came through with the dolls.
However, if you mean in terms of racial diversity, then I feel you are missing the entire reason these dolls were made in the frist place.
That being said, both the Latina and Naturalistas dolls could have done better in terms of culture. There are black girls from Japan, Mexico, Ireland, and so much more but the dolls are sort of just all in the same outfit lol. Heck, for a dollline that is about black natural hair, the hairstyles are weak as well. :(
They could have went the safe route by making them all tan in the first batch since they are not that pale in the artwork to begin with. I understand that they are a start up targetting the masses unlike start ups for limited edition adult collectible ones that can charge premium to cover all production costs.
I can imagine there is A LOT of controversy! That's just sad and hurtful and not something that should happen in 2024!
I hope companies learn and listen.
To me these look like doll blanks that they bought in bulk, and then customized with the face paints and hair. They honestly look a little bit…cheap?
I can kind of see it now, more people are bringing that up to me.
Waaaitttttt I wasn’t expecting to actually kind of like some of these designs 🫣😱 If Kelia and Cassie came with the deeper complexions that they were originally meant to, I could definitely see myself copping 👀
I can see the potential, I just feel like they need a doll collector or someone who is more into doll content on their team.
Wow, $10 more than the new Rainbow High soft reboot? The Rainbow High dolls seem much nicer even with their glittered foreheads and noses.LOL! I always enjoy your videos, thanks for keeping us informed. This company shouldn’t have released the dolls until they could show diversity and represent.
They remind of a cross between TH and those cheap baggy dolls you can get from Daiso.
Honestly these look like $5 aliexpress dolls. $35 for this terrible of quality is absolutely ridiculous.
I hear what you are saying but how come there was no criticism when a doctor recently brought out a purely black doll line????
I feel a sense of frustration on several levels. 😄 That this is a first draft, you can perhaps forgive that they are learning as they go, but at that price point, does a consumer literally want to pay for the mistakes? I'll be blunt; the packaging looks like something from the 80's, the glitter border is not necessary and distracting from the doll. I don't like the font for the names as it doesn't add anything to the box presentation. If the hook is that it is a fashion academy, I think you need more than a few cheap beads to accessorize the outfits with, lace trim is pretty inexpensive and would be better for clothing than beads.. The dress form is cute - I bought 5 of them myself from AliExpress for like 50p each or something like that, so the whole academy idea at this stage is very much underdone. They could do more like a little booklet about types of stitches or how to create a fashion mood board; something about fashion education. Let's hope they take the feedback on board!
I really like them, if people buy them then they can invest into diversity in the second batch.
First,I LOVE Ashnikko! Ive been listening to her for at least 4 years now and got to see her live in October with my mom and sisters. Second these doll remind me of Licca Chan and lulu pop combined. Third ,i am aslo devistaed to see lack of diversity in this line. The artwork is gorgeous! And the fact they didnt do more skin tones only remind me of Japanese and Korean dolls more (known for giving us white washed dolls also) . 😢 Hopefully they will give us more diversity in more lines.
I love their faces, hair, and fashion.
Why release the dolls as a "test batch" internationally if they knew they weren’t able to utilize the proper skin tones. People outside of the U.S. tend to not really understand the issue with skin tone people go through for some reason. I feel in other countries, it’s not that big of a discussion cuz they don’t have as big of those communities. It’s very irresponsible as a company for them to try and release a doll overseas (especially to a country where race and skin color are a very BIG issue currently and historically) and not research the country’s demographics beforehand. Like did no one on the teams think that maybe having the doll be white… when the character is clear a POC might be a problem? It’s just kinda lazy, and irresponsible to me. Then, for the dolls to not be the best quality either? What even is the point of a test batch? Trying to make money off of prototypes, it’s just an odd situation in my opinion.
I mean if they are being made from an asian company im not to surprised colorism happned. They tend to favor fair skintones over rich skintones and might have been thinking about the audience for their home country.
As a dark skin girl though, This hurts like hell. Like every year we take massive Ls like this and we barely in 2024 and here we go again. No one learns...i hate feeling like no one cares. Cuz i really do feel they did not care. Or they never would have came out like this.
The artwork and concept for these dolls is so cute, it's just a shame how poorly executed they were
I'm ready fot this line if they really do the skin tone thing
I hate when this happens with dolls. Im always super excited when fi ding new black and brown dolls to add to my collection because there werent many of good quality that I found when I was younger. But its so frustrating to see to great cover art of dolls that I am excited for and then find out theough the execution is far from what they give. I was disappointed when i saw these revelead at the toy convention from other youtubers. Super disappointed.
The art is really cute and I could see the potential.
I think if they had cut 1 doll to start and had 2 skin tones- a light one and a darker one(noticeably darker) it may have been more popular. They could have put out that 5th doll in the next wave. It’s unfortunate that there is a discrepancy with the art and dolls like that.
To me, i would rather they focus 4 core dolls. One white,black, hispanic and asian. And the last doll scrap it and save those money for resources
I really like Balam. B’alam means jaguar in Mayan.
I love different skin tones in dolls we are all beautiful in so many ways let’s hope they will do better next time.
Would buy them if they come to Germany (and solve the problem on hand), there’s loads of potential here
The only problem could be the price, the dolls cost $35 .... that means that here in Germany you would pay much more , probably 45 - 50 Euro just for a single doll.
You‘re right, that’s way too much for a playline doll, especially compared to other lines that sell around 35€ here…
I agree, diversity should be automatic. Like, don't even consider not doing at least 3 different skin tones.
I think not, if I would own a little toy company I would make the first waves only with white dolls. Just take a look at most of the asian doll lines, there must be some but I can't remember at the moment just a single japanese playline doll that is not with light skin.
The only problem with this doll line are the packages (why the different artwork), the faces looks too bland and the lack of articulation.
I have said this is laziness and basically the company saving money. They are all the same skin tone, there is no difference and its criminal in 2024. Its weird that their artwork was diverse and yet the dolls are not. I was a kid in the eighties and then diversity was an issue, I think mainly because of the quality of the colour of an accurate skin tone. But now, in 2024 at least one doll should have darker skin.
I agree, I could see this happening in the past. Today in toys there is such a push for inclusivity. More research should have been done.
Thank you for the review of this new doll line. I don't believe they did the proper research to market this line. I agree I would like to see what they originally intended to launch. I think they should of launched only 3 or 4 dolls and worked carefully along side manufacturers to exquisite the product right. The skin tones are off. No offense but I truly do not know what they were going for. 😕
I’ve said this in other UA-camr videos, I love the Kawaii look of these dolls, but the lack of skin tones according to the artist’s conception is extremely disappointing 🫤🫤🫤 It seems like they were a bit hasty in releasing them if they still wanted them to be in the same style as the original design 😐 I really hope to get the collection, but I hope they will correct their errors soon since the original designs are so beautifully depicted 😊😊😊
If a company is making dolls to sell, making diverse skintones is the norm for starters and then work up to various diversity types.It's best not to do a doll at all!!!!
Sorry but I’m not buying or accepting their story. Like you said, they could have cut corners on accessories, second outfits, inset eyes, but they actively CHOSE to cut corners on the skin tones. They decided that accessories and a second outfit is more important than representation. That’s the decision they made and I will never believe they’d make any changes without public outcry or backlash. A company starting off being publicly racist and colorist will never have my support so I truly hope these flop to hell and back.
I would have liked a different corner cut, I can see how they wanted to give kids items in the box, especially at a $34.99 price point. But they should have done more tests, or research in what the consumer wants.
I think there is potential here. These dolls are pretty so I'll get at least one and I hope diversity and quality will be there more if there is another wave.
I think this gimmick of dress design is over used.
The nostalgic part of me sees the original artwork of these dolls as a modernized Jem and the Holograms.. lol Which there are elements in that dolls line that would work really well today
Jem and Holograms had a black doll with texture hair. These dolls look like some I have seen on Aliexpresss
I wonder if they are, I haven't been able to find one close to them. I am seeing more people mentioning aliexpress or temu.
I see Jem vibes too.
Not everyone is going to like this but when a new company starts up they are going to make things where there is the most sells, and it is infact not just white people that collect white dolls, sadly not every white kid are going to play with diverse dolls, but on the other hand there are more diverse buyers who buy white dolls. So in conclusion if a company is small and new they can have valet budgeting reasons, like "lol surprise" become more diverse later and if this line stays for a bit, I am sure the same would happen.
First of all, even as kid I never bought a doll because it looked like me. I bought a doll because it was pretty or cool looking. I agree there should be a range of skin tones in doll lines and yet I only hear about "Diversity" when it comes to a line of all white dolls. I don't see "Diversity" at Fresh Dolls or Purpose toys. Nope. Not a white one in the bunch. You can tell me about the lack of representation, but if one doll company is to be held to a certain standard than ALL doll companies should be held accountable and equally criticized.........
Both fresh dolls and purpose toys have black and Latina dolls in a range of hues, and their specific purpose was to create dolls that mirrored the various shades a d hair textures of black and Latina girls/women. The biggest problem with this doll in particular is the doll art advertises these dolls with deeper hues and makes it seem as if the line is diverse, but the final product is far from it. If they had made all the doll art in the same light/white hue, then the controversy may not have been as big as it is now.
I really don’t think this line should actually be given any attention at this time. It’s just repackaging Chinese fashion dolls (which are better in their home market, but is also the reason there’s only one skin tone) with some new assets and trying to flip them in the US. Maybe eventually they will make something unique and amazing, but right now these dolls are not coming from a genuine original place.
There are so many genuine original non-US lines you and others could look at and help support that are doing good things, like Nancy dolls or Sindy dolls for example.
I'd personally like to learn more about Chinese fashion dolls. If I could find some brands, I'd love to buy some.
The idea of having fashion dolls from around the world is just awesome
@@hibikuokudan Try Xinyi, Ye Luo Li, and Kuhrn! Those are three of the most well-known and popular Chinese fashion doll brands. Ye Luo Li has at least ten seasons of an animated show behind it too. Also try other non-US dolls like Momoko and Jennie (Japan), BFF and VIP Hair Academy (Spanish), Sindy (British), Lulu Pop (Korean) etc too! There's a whole world of original doll lines made for their regional markets out there!
I can definitely see that, maybe these dolls have worked in other markets. If they want to come to the US, they should research what collectors and other consumers are looking for.
@@crayman775 thank you so much! I just found the Ye Luoli dolls, and they're SO PRETTY! I'll be looking at all of these brands soon!
@@TheDollCircle These dolls are only released in a select few stores in Ukraine. I'm not sure how popular they are there or not, and admittedly there are some obvious reasons why they might not be able to make the best product at the moment. However I don't really buy those as factors for why the dolls are just flipped Chinese fashion dolls they're trying to get the US market to buy into out of nowhere.
What I don't like about most dolls like these is that they all have the same face. Yes, different eye and lip color - but all the same eye shape, mouth shape, face shape. So 'yawn' boring. And WHY? Why not change the faces just a little? I think companies would find more buyers if they did. But that's just my opinion, and I'm pretty much a 'nobody', so... Thank you for the video anywho!
Love the bangs Elvira! The dolls kinda remind me of Star Darlings dolls.
I think you handled the conversation well. Like respectfully and with nuance ❤
I was hoping u could show how thick the hair is and see if there's any bald spots but I guess u maybe forget but I do agree that they should make them how they were supposed to
Oof and for $35 price point for a new doll line ! That’s pretty bold !
This is such a controversial way to launch a doll line....hopefully there is a relaunch with focus on diversity
They made a mistake. They have said that they will fix it. What else do you want? They are transparent. Collectors are judgmental & unforgiving, so glad they are all perfect themselves sitting in their little ivory towers being precious.
I think she was trying to give full coverage of the issue while explaining on both the side of the company and the consumers. I found her analysis to be respectful and fair.
I liked your level review. I 100% want diverse dolls and I often buy different skin tone dolls just so my collection/displays are different.
Having worked in Toy industry before I do appreciate you also being realistic and thinking how new companies/lines work. ❤
Unrelated, but may I ask what lipstick brand and color you’re wearing?
Great video thank you, it’s good to have the conversation
Thank you, I wanted to have people talk about the doll line. To either help companies know what the collectors want.
It’s 2024 it’s just crazy that they did that. I feel like they are digging their own grave 🙃
There is plenty of representation in the doll world of darker skin tons.
Give them a chance.
There is companies who make dolls of only people of color and lack of any other ethnicity.
Regardless these dolls are cute but I think the price range is a bit much… due to they look a little cheaper.
I totally agree with you.......
@@kurtwoods7546 I’m not sure if this was sarcasm or not but regardless I know many people won’t agree with me and I’m sure I’ll get hate. But all I stated was facts.
Because if people REALLY agreed with diversity and the more then one skin tone… then they would also come at the companies that ONLY supply darker skinned dolls and lines that ONLY make African American dolls…but…they don’t.. so in words they are just against Caucasian dolls. They have no problem when they aren’t represented in a line.
I’m sure this is a small company..they put them out because deadline..they will make money from this line make enough profit to then give you the darker skins like you all want.
Also keep in mind they are a Asian company where things like this aren’t as criticized, while maybe they should have did more research since they were putting dolls out in America I’m sure this line was also put out in Asia so it would have costed more to do two different lines at the same time. While Asia was also probably there catered audience. The important part is they said in the email that they wish to do diversity. So let’s stop hating because we know it would not have been criticized had they all had darker skin tones and no lighter skin tone was included.
I have NOTHING against darker skinned dolls and I want to state that here so people don’t get it twisted. But there are lines of only ethnic or African American dolls with little to no representation of other ethnicities. And I don’t just mean Caucasian I mean ethnicities as in all… Latina,Asian , etc.
Personally I’d love to see more middle eastern and Indian people represented in dolls. They have the least representation.
If people want to be mad at anything people should be mad at the fact that our men dolls have very little ethnic choices. We have white and we have African American. Very little Asian. But we don’t have ANY that we can absolutely for 100% sure say oh that male doll is Spanish /indian/ middle eastern ETC…Our male dolls are lacking seriously and that’s actually upsetting.
@@brandiakers1242 No sarcasm. I actually was agreeing with you. I do think however, that most doll lines are fairly diverse, and that "Adult" doll collectors can be a bit "Pushy" with what they expect and with what they want. I used to work for Horsman Doll Company, so I was aware what was selling well and what wasnt. Im sure times have changed but back in the early 2000's, black dolls just didn't sell as well. I have to wonder if maybe that's still true? None of us have any knowledge of a doll companies bottom line or what products sell the best for them. I think many new doll companies will try to play it safe with their first collection to see how well they sell and go from there. The thing that irritates me the most is how some doll companies (Like Purpose Toys or Fresh Dolls) are NOT held to the same standard of diversity that others doll companies are criticized quite harshly for. Could you imagine starting a new doll collection and having thousands of collectors tell you what you should or shouldnt do? It must be absolutely overwhelming.....
Is there a way to stain the skin tones to look like there actual characters?
I love that Barbie shirt ❤where did you get it?
Yes
At first glance, they remind me of those generic, cheap bootleg/knockoff dolls I saw in Asian markets as a kid.
They are just mess. The blue one looks like Star Darlingz .. they are soooo bad
Things are getting worst 2024.That is why the diverse dolls as less. Increase in prejudice.
Ok they are pretty love inset eyes not having diversity no excuses imo like cmon your doll as a kid usually represents”you” in some way and everyone should have that ! Like you said they obviously have no one that is in the doll community working on their team. But I think Def Lucy from Temu looks better quality than these 🫠🤷♀️
They are cute.. but.. i wish there were 5 sculpts. I don't like it when they dk characters but all are one sculpt. 1 face sculpt per character.
They qould look 10000x better iff they had articulation on their hands
I think there cute.
Never seen them before
💖💖💖😍😍
Yaaaassss I’ve been waiting for this one lololol
I just want a clear closeup
They creep me out ,and they look so cheap !
They look like a cheap Bratz wannabe with a rainbow high blueprint with the articulation, inset eyes, and lashes
omg bryce does look like ashnikko 😂
Are you planning a more detailed review of the dolls ? You didnt really talk or show about the quality of clothes, shoes, hair type, etc....like you usually do. No biggie...just wondering.
Few things :
Why can’t we see this as a released prototype dolls line. Did they messed up sure. But dragging them isn’t going to make them want to give us want we want .
The doll community needs to take a chill pill and see a psychiatrist and a therapist (I’m seeing both ) but look what’s happening to the new rainbow high dolls . Look what happen to monster high g2 . Doll company are going to get to a point where they don’t listen to us and just make toys for little kids .
Again because you have to be so WOKE now a day and say the correct thing because god for hidden a doll Karen comes for you . But I agree I would have love to see different skin tone but this doll company isn’t in the U.S so they probably thought it wouldn’t a big deal(which it is doll police Karen )
Also, if I was in the company I would have simply said that it was an error and communication with the factory wasn’t clear and we are working on it .
Also, these dolls are really cute and I may not be the target for it they are cute .
Define woke
I can see your points, they are not a US based company, their market is different than ours. I feel like they should have done research on what the US consumer wants from a doll line. If diversity and inclusivity is important then maybe wait for launching them here.
I wanted to give a space of constructive criticism and discussion of concerns. Comments in this video may help the company see different points of view to better the line for a larger audience.
I will not be purchasing. The doll with the pink dress and very pale skin looks like something my grandma would of played with.
i was here to learn a litlle bit more about these new doll line who probably never come in my country. And i assist at a kindd of... trial? I highly disagree cause this small compagnie entrusted you with their dolls and you juge them with your wokism and you don't tlking so much about dolls??? you become a karen. i m sure a lot of people are agreed with you but i don't. So, i leave;
I’m mad at this company I’m mad at you for promoting the company that doesn’t have diversity.Im not waiting on the next batch of bs to change
These are cute, I like them a lot. They do scream aliexpress though (which isn't necessarilya bad thing, I have several dolls from there that I love). I can't see spending $35 US on them though...
