- These new dolls come with so many accessories that the combinations are endless, they say. Will they get a big head about it? Probably not, but they will be 3D.

They seem nice as fashion dolls but not as much for play dolls. I think they would have been cool if they included some blank/plain stickers with markers that wash off with water to allow for the person playing with the dolls to create their own unique pieces as well, but the markers would bring the cost up too much probably.
I personally think it’s more fun to have colorful mix and match clothes so kids can be creative!
They can create their own clothes tho using the paper doll method
honestly I used to have paper dolls when I was a kid (both cheap pure paper ones and one where the doll itself was flat plastic) and their play value can still be pretty good depending on the kid, even with clothes that are fully factory drawn. still I agree that including clothes that can be colored or fully blank stickers would've been neat. from the looks of it I think kids might be able to make completely new clothes out of actual paper, but the thickness of the plastic might make the clothes' flaps a bit unstable.
I think it's a unique idea for maybe $10 but not $20...which is what they are priced at here in the States. Thanks for the video, Jen!
I wouldn;t mind $12 or even $15 but $20 with CA tax, yeah that too much. lol
20 dollars is about half the price we have here in Finland. Here they are 40 euros each, so around 42 US dollars. (But fortunately that includes every tax.)
It cost over 30 in austraila
I feel like magnetic or snap on clothes would be better for replayability than stickers because stickers aren't sticky forever
Personally I don't really get why I'd get these over a styling book. Because styling picture books with stickers or magnets are just 2d and I kinda don't like the whole 2.5 d thing these have
Yeah I feel like it's going to be a line we meme on in ten years like "wtf people were on that at the time", as we do with weird 2010s doll concepts
I’m disappointed the back is a solid color too, at that point you could sell dolls like this on a book with the clothes and skip the entire big box
@@crizmeow8394 yeah, since the back isn't detailed it doesn't have anything over a 2d book
I think these dolls are a great idea! Unfortunately they retail for £25 ($30 USD) here in the UK, which is ridiculous for a plastic equivalent of a paper dress up doll.
at least uk got them Australia didn't
They are 40 euros here in Finland... 🥲
These dolls remind me of the magnet dolls I had on the fridge as a kid haha
yes!
i had all 4 bratz magnetic dolls
I feel like these dolls would work way better if they used non-permanent vinyl, so you could remove the clothing and put it back on the hanger. For me, these needs to be dolls that you can style over and over again, since they don't have a lot of playing ability otherwise. When I was younger, I used to have a magnetic Barbie (that was flat) with a variety of magnetic cloths. And I do understand that putting magnets in the hands of younger children is problematic, but it was still a lot of fun for 7-8 years old me to style my barbie a different way every day. These dolls are a bit of a let-down in comparison.
wait you can't just take the clothes on and of?
The stickers are literally reusable lol you can take it back off the doll and back on the hanger board and use it again. It’s basically reusable vinyl 😂
Magnets would of definitely been better since I feel the stickers will end up tearing over time.
I didn't realize that, lol. At least there's that. I thought it was normal stickers. But I still think magnet or Velcro would last longer and less difficult to work with.@@jellybean4350
I used to get a sort of flat Barbie on chips as a kid! It was basically a plastic card with Barbie’s body and a couple of her outfits you could pull off the card and dress her up. You would get one in every chip package and they were obviously quite small,,, I really miss them
I wonder if they'll sale separate garment hanger packs with new outfits, so that kids can get more clothes without having to get another doll? I'd like to see the clothes be magnetized instead of stickers for extended durability, too.
I love these. Honestly they are an upscale version of the paper dolls I adored as a kid.
Same! I loved paper dolls as a kid, I never really thought to miss the ability to pose them bc the ease of changing outfits was more of the fun for me. But the 90s were a different time...my sister and I just loved the paper dolls that came inside American Girl Magazine every couple months which probably wouldn't be all that exciting for kids today
My great grandma used to get these paper dolls in magazine inserts, they were kinda cottage-core back in the 1990’s and she’d give them to me. They were fun as a poor kid.
Note: I looked them up and found them, the magazine was “Home Companion” and the dolls were made by an artist called Mary Englebreit.
I like the idea and how they look but to make these really last and have kids enjoy them - I think the clothes should've been a magnet
100%. And for the price they’re charging it seems they could afford to have done that
Imagine 5 people creating outfits made of paper for these dolls in a project runway like competition ❤ love it
That would be very cool
I felt you so much when you criticized the lack of a male doll. I really wish doll lines would focus on those from time to time. Shadow High FINALLY gave us a guy with long hair at least but my little Monster High obsessed heart wants dolls of all the boys that feature on the new show, especially Manny Taur.
I had "Flatsy Dolls" in the 1970's. Bendable rubber with wire inside so they were posable. Easy to make clothes for since they were flat.
love the fashion and the dolls are so pretty but i feel stickers could be ruined so fast. Maybe if it was all cardboard cutouts or something with magnets
this reminds me of a toy i used to have, except that the clothes were magnets instead of stickers, which honestly seems like a much easier and longterm toy, since stickers lose their stickiness
These dolls look really interesting (even if they remind me a little of that scene from who framed roger rabbit).
Regarding the posability, I once made paper dolls like these and used split pins at the joints that allowed them make some poses. I imagine they could have done something similar (at least with the elbows and wrists) to give them some more playability.
I also wonder why the heads couldn’t move the way a normal dolls can, because they have a 3d head already. Even if they couldn’t have the full neck peg, they could have just had ball like the lol dolls surely.
Just watching the intro made me realize how much I missed watching your content 😭 good to be back ♥️
So it's a new expensive version of Paper dolls from the old days? Paper dolls are figures cut out of paper or thin card, with separate clothes, also made of paper, that are usually held onto the dolls by paper folding tabs. They may be a figure of a person, animal or inanimate object. Paper dolls have been inexpensive children's toys for almost two hundred years.
Yup and I loved paper dolls growing up
such a strange concept but i kind of love it. i always wished my paper dolls had hair i could play with. maybe i should get myself the Avril inspired one to heal my inner child lol
Thanks Jen, I appreciate your take, on these dolls. It was great that you received them for a review. Way to go, you should be very proud, of that accomplishment. Thank you for the laughs, as always, you have a wonderful, warm, and loving personality.🤗
I love these sooo much and especially that these are the first dolls I see that are SO TRENDY. As a teenager these are exactly outfits that are popular and trendy right now just with more colorful colors. And basically I am soooo happy that these are finally real everyday fashion icons
The fashions are nice and the concept is creative but personally as an adult doll collector they don't appeal to me and I'm not sure if kids would prefer this over a regular doll tbh , I might be wrong though.
I really really like the idea but i would prefer velcro over stickers but maybe wouldnt look cute.
I know theres some fashion kid out there perfect for this doll
These are great because you can draw and design clothes for them and just tape em on. I used to love making my own paper dolls, making them clothes and playing with them. Dolls were almost never fully articulated until monster high. And now you usually have to buy an entire new doll if you want different outfits so making your own out of paper is a great option for kids.
That's a great idea!
I find these a little creepy but at least those parents who complain about rainbow high, lol, and other girls dolls being "anatomically correct" can't do so with these because they are flat, I can also see the sticker clothes being found on things that are NOT the dolls, because stickers
Jen, black and silver hair isn't bad, lots of people have black and silver hair and no one should feel bad just because of a hair color.
You are beautiful even if you aren't feeling it today!
Aw thank you so much.
Reminds me of paper dolls, I used to play w my grandma’s paper dolls when I was a kid, aswell as played a lot of dress up games on game sites back in the day, so this just feels like a modern touch of it
I could definitely see these being popular for that age when pretend play gets less interesting and they might enjoy these as a colorful and creative way of expressing personal styles
Ohhh it’s an elevated paper doll that you can stand up and play with the hair, as opposed to a downgraded action figure. My 8 year old niece would absolutely LOVE this because she struggles with tiny fashion doll clothes. 💖💖💖 these are pretty cool.
I love the look you give Miss. Harper. I think my 14 year old would like this vs. my 3 year old
I use cat/pet claw scissors from the Dollar Tree for cutting the jibbers - they grab ahold of the tiny things.
I admit, the first time I saw these, I just thought they were weird and couldn't understand why anyone would like them, but now I think they're kind of great. Colorforms were my favorite "paper doll" as a kid, because the clothes did not fall off. Lining them up to the body is very good for developing dexterity. When it comes to normal 3d dolls, hair play is very important, and to this day (I'm 54), brushing doll hair is as soothing as petting an animal, so it's great they have real hair. Dressing dolls can be tricky for little hands - they don't always have the patience to wiggle stuff on - so this gives quicker satisfaction. I love the way they store the stickers - in Colorforms, they had to stick directly on their original layout, and since that was cut in, eventually the plastic peeled up off the plastic. My concern is the durability of the stickers - that they will not tear or warp and will stay sticky.
People complaining about the price: I mean, $30 is way too much for a paper doll, but this is a doll playset, with 5 curated outfits with an average of 7 items each, along with a handful of accessories, and "furniture" (clothes hanger, stand). Fashionistas start out at $10USD, come with shoes, dress, and maybe one accessory. I think these would be great for travel and would provide hours of creative play styling the dolls. How much is a movie date with a kid and it only lasts 2 hours tops? This seems like just as good an investment.
Yep....."paper Dolls"....they were around in the 70's, when I was a little girl. I loved them!
These are cute ....I think that my great nieces might like them..... they're 5 and 8 and 10.....🤗👍🏻
In the end of the 60s arly 70s there where flat Dolls with even a flat Head called Flatsy. They had 2 Types. Adult and Kids. And they where flexible and had Fabric Fashions.
I loved them. I have 2 I purchased from EBay. I had them as a child in the 60’s.
I like the concept but wonder about the play experience. Really cute dolls though. Glad you are back, Jen.❤
Thank you! 🤗
I think it's interesting, that they made a toy, that's based on paper dolls, you can make. Where you can change the dolls outfit.
I'll be honest ... Id watch you read the phone book. I'm so envious that you're cute and can be on camera. My husband encouraged me to do more with my channel but id never ever be on camera. Not the way i look. I'm hope you enjoy doing these videos. It's nice to see someone who doesn't have an insane upload schedule.
Omg I resport to not fill.ing because I'm overwhelmed on camera. I've been feeling really low lately. I think you should go on cam if you are ready and want to. I'd watch
Cute dolls. They are an updated version of paper dolls.
I grew up with paperdolls as well as Barbies and other dolls and would often play with them together. There is a lot of play possible with the 2d style doll. I think if they had gone for more of a traditional paper doll with the hair as well and left off the fuzzy stickers it might be a little better, because they would have more style options on hair as well as being able to mix and match with the friend dolls too.
Omg, this is soo awesome. This reminds me when i was a kid, paper doll books. They were soo much fun but this is more awesome cause it actually has a doll head and hair that can be styled. Very inventful and looks like alot of fun.
These remind me of the paper/card dolls I used to have.
The idea was the clothes had little tabs on them you put the clothes on the doll then fold thhe tab over to keep it secure.
There is like paper dolls, thats cute for fashion dolls or someone who just like to dress up and never play.
Upgraded paper dolls. Cool. Something tells me the price isnt going to be paper doll prices. Very cute though
❤
So true sowen in doll hair, is a pain to get free! Really hate when they do that
i feel as though theyre very nostalgic to the cardboard magnetic dolls back then and those sticker dolls you could get from the vending machine. but like those vending machine sticker dolls, they dont last. they shouldve done the wood/cardboard style
17:10 Harpers Body hahaha
Feels like a Jennifer’s body reference 😅
!!! I FINALLY REFOUND YOUR CHANNEL !!!!!!! its been YEARS and im so happy to see you on my feed . i loved watching you when i was younger
As always, I love your honest reviews Jen! Hope your winter weather is mild, or if not you have loads of yummy hot cocoa!
honestly as cute as they are and as unique a concept this is, i cant see these dolls being much of anything in the future. they havent arrived in my country just yet and i dont know if they ever will, but the pricing for them some other commenters are talking about seems like way too much for what they are. i cant see kids wanting these over other doll lines out there and the price difference doesnt seem like its enough to make parents buy them over the dolls their kids want and they arent unique enough in their looks for collectors to really care about. theyre fun, but realistically, they probably wont last long. we'll be lucky to see a wave 2 of these but i dont think they'll get much more than that.
Ahh. I thought these were magnetic. Sticker outfits just get wrecked so easily. Tip fpr the hanher though. Push some air dry clay into the base so when it dries will weight it down so less likely to tumble.
Great idea!!
i feel like magnets would be way better than stickers
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I had tiny sticker dolls as a child, this brings back SO MANY MEMORIES
These are so cute. Would have loved them as a kiddo. Way better than an old school paper doll.
I love the crimped hair, I think it looks cute! And it looks like braids if you squint
Very cute concept for a doll. And totally giving me paper doll nostalgia. On the fence about the whole sticker clothing thing since obviously the sticky will wear off after a while with continued play and from oils from hands and whatnot. Think a cling method instead of a sticker method would have been better for something like this but maybe not. Might get 1 doll just for ha-ha's to see if I like it. But don't see myself getting the whole set even though they are cute. As always love your review! 😁
I feel like magnets may have been a better option instead of stickers. They're cute, i might also get one. i just worry about the stickers losing the sticky.
@@ceazarsalad4414 Magnets would be too small and dangerous.
@@zombei_kid I mean that's on the parents is it not? Pretty much every doll on the market states it's for children ages 3 and up because they pose choking hazards to infants. Parents also shouldn't be just giving their kids a toy and leaving them be if there's any hazard for them or another child in the home. Everything is dangerous for children, that's why they have a caregiver of some kind to keep them safe until they can understand safety and how to keep themselves safe.
@@xobunnyfangsxo The company isn't going to use magnets unless they have to because of the potential hazard. And its not just a choking hazard. If the magnets are swallowed separately, they can magnetize to each other through organs and cause all kinds of issues. Why risk the liability and potential customer loss?
These are really cute. I like Dylan, her hair is so pretty I just love the color.
The AMOUNT of outfits you get ❤
The dolls said ✨✨skinny legend✨✨
Interesting concept for dolls
The second one reminded me a of og Clawdeen wolf, like the color scheme and style of clothes were very g1 Clawdeen and I love it
I kinda feel like the outfits should've been magnetic... Might've made for more longevity for the outfits over stickers. But that's just me.
I thought it’d be more like flatsy dolls which are flat but posable with fabric clothes
Yea when I heard about these coming out I didn't really know what to expect.
I was looking everywhere for this channel! I'm so glad I found it again 😊
Welcome back!
I’ve been looking at these on Amazon forever, I actually like them. Might get one or two.
the 3D heads on a 2D body do nothing for me and i would like them better if the heads were flat
i really love paper dolls and have a good sized collection, including a few 'magic' paper dolls which use static cling to hold the clothes on - i wonder how long these stickers will last until their magic is gone?
I don’t like that the backs are a solid color. I don’t like how they are stickers and not magnetics or snap on for multiple uses over years of play.
I do like that the design of the stickers are very detailed and unique. I do like the faces they are very cute.
It would be cool if they had stickers to give them custom make up too. If they were cheaper it would be a fun party activity.
Also i feel like it would be cool if they came with a background set for display with stickers to decorate there display.
It feels very novelty.
Thank you so much for your review.
So excited to watch! ❤
Im not sure if kids like dolls that are flat and ugly but as an adult I appreciate the original idea. If you could paste your own drawn designs on them maybe it would appeal to slightly older kids that enjoy drawing clothes but as a play thing not so sure 😂
its not a bad idea but i think the clothes being flat magnets that stick to the base instead of stickers would be better. the sticker idea just doesn't seem very long lasting. like mi guarantee kids are gonna get them torn or dirty or folded in on themselves etc etc etc... I'm not confident it would hold up for much long term play value
Kiki and Harper have the most style and interesting look about them, I think. But overall I'm unsure of how I feel about these dolls because you can't...do much other than style them. I hope at some point they consider making a special addition that's actual dolls or something. Because you know, be fun to pretend they're going to the mentioned events.
that’s exactly what I was thinking. I was wondering why not just go completely flat and still put some hair on the flattened doll. in my eyes in presents very negative body image sort of saying that the only thing that should stand out about is your face and if they’re going to be completely flat why not do multiple different body sizes i.e. plus size size 0 regular size ones without a leg or with prosthetics etc, it will be so easy to do in a flat medium
these are kinda cool! i like the idea as it reminds me of paper dolls but ALSO the magnetic fridge dress up dolls from the 90s
the fact they gave the a coloured back instead of just skin colour with underwear is weird to me
the sticker fashion is dumb- it should have been magnetic.. just kinda makes them seem scammy
if they use stickers they shouldve used more felted, holographic, textured and fur stickers
especially considering theyre flat and unarticulated which is a great way to cut costs as it is
they needed a few more weeks on the product development stage i think
the sewn in doll hair- dont you just grab one side and open it?
its sewn in a way that it just unravels from one side
very cute. I do wonder about how the sticker outfits would hold up to use though.
Good question! its been a few weeks and they are still going strong over here. unlike the ones on my Avastars:( those turned oily and left gross residue behind on the dolls bodies :( I'm thinking of doing an update
Finally a doll that represents my body type
These dolls are perfect for pre school age kids.
They sure weren't messing around when it came to branding. They stamped "Bae" on basically every single thing they could lol it's a bit much.
I’ll see them at Ollies and closeout stores soon
Interesting doll. Maybe if you are limited with space. But not crazy about this concept. If we lived in a tiny house or RV, I might consider this for my girls. Thank you for your video, Jen.
kid me would love these but also feel the pain of seeing the stickers getting dirty and losing their stickiness over time
Nice to see this review!! And it was interesting to see you use the 'B' choker as a bracelet too, something I hadn't thought of
While I love articulation for a neurodivergent person like me I actually found the lack of posability to be a plus? It gave me a play experience of different clothes but forced me in a way to focus on one or two things with play vs. trying to find the 'right' pose or balance them the 'right way'. Removing that choice from me was a little freeing. I have Dylan and Harper and the other two I am on the fence about but do love the two I already have quite a bit.
I missed watching yours content then you popped up on my fyp
Well I am happy to know you are here.
I grew up with paper dolls and online dress-up dolls so these are neat, but I personally dislike the idea of using stickers over something like magnets. Feel like over time with kids playing with them they’ll just end up not sticking and collect hair/dust.
I mean. I guess these are Cool, if you’re not blind. I don’t think this is as accessible as we would like it to be. They should make one with some tactile stickers so we can feel them. Is it weird that I just want to get this doll and cover her in self adhesive gem stickers? I feel like my mom wouldn’t enjoy sitting there for hours, while I made her describe every single sticker so that I could pick the perfect outfit.
That is all a very good point. So fun y I always consider the accessibility of a product and totally spaced on this one. I feel like a complete bone head. How the heck did I brain fart so big.
@@NexJen don’t say that. It’s not a big deal. I guess because I am blind, it’s the first thing I think about. is it weird that I still like stickers? I can’t use them to decorate a doll, but I have a braille tablet called a braille sense, and I have little gem stickers on the cover. you said you have a lot of blind people in your family. Because of this, can you read braille? my mum tried to learn, but she could never learn contracted braille. You know how there are signs for all the words? I learned the entire braille code by the time I was nine, and I am an avid reader. if it was up to me, I would write stories and get them published. I think you should make a video on the new fingerlings. I’d love to see your reaction change after the last time you reviewed them.
The crop top dress shirt with the tie is giving Miku vibes lol
Oh i love these!
I wish instead of the sticker thing it was more of like magnetic thing because the design is cool I like the looks, but ultimately stickers are going to stop working and stop being sticky. I really liked the look and the designs though. The main reason dolls like barbie or ever after high or monster high or the color ones are so popular is because they arent only the doll its also the collect and reusuability and posability. Like I think its cool but really they should have done magnetic looks over stickers
do wonder if u can make ur own clothings for them??
I wish they came in normal doll forms because I love their outfits so much but I hate how they are flat like that
all of their clothes are super cool
mix and matching seems so fun… (*´﹃｀*)
and I don't mind the hair because it would give me corage to do more hairstyles!
i just wanted more different makeups for the personality of each girl
AND the stickers afraid me
if they started to not work anymore I would be saaaad
Gods i miss paper dolls. I would have loved these as a kid
Missed you 😂, only had bunty comic in the 60s😅 loved it so different,the hair i think you get one end of the cotton then pull it ❤ uk
I actually like the idea just wish the heads were flat too since the bodies look super cool thats the only thing id change
Oh my god i haven't seen thhis channel in AGES! god i missed watching your content
That is weird. What looked like a regular doll in the front is actually 2 dimensional.
I'm only 7 minutes in but I kinda want one. I recently played with a sticker paper doll from a gross chocolate making kit I got from an Asian mart, but I had a lot of fun playing with it and being creative with the different hair and clothing stickers.
I WANT THIS!!! i really want to make my own doll clothes but i can't sew but i can draw so i see this as a win-win
Right?!! You can totally create your own sticker designs!
It's as if they wanted a cross between a paper doll and Bratz doll. Honestly the stickers would drive me batty.
Jen,
Random comment: Wanted to say that I truly appreciated something you said in the video where you unboxed the gifts you got. I´m talking about the Marvel "fidget toys". That you said that those toys were great for someone that was a Marvel fan.
I´m a DC Comics fan. That doesn´t mean I don´t watch all superhero movies but the ones I buy, the comics I get and stuff are from DC. And while, of course, there are people that would like both Marvel and DC there are also the people that have a specific fandom. And it meant a lot to me that you had the tought of specify Marvel and not put all superheroes in the same boat. ;)
a lot of doll collectors are putting the heads on doll bodies
Honestly it kind of makes sense because the heads are really cute, the bodies not so much
I have a feeling this will be on Ollie’s shelves early next year.
I don't like these dolls, I'd rather have a well designed traditional paper doll with tons of different fashions. I do get the idea behind them, and I'm sure many people will like having many clothes plus the option of hair play.
42:33 I would argue that lack of articulation stimulates imagination more, since you have to come up with new ways to perform or convey the action the toy is supposed to be doing. Also would make you focus more in verbalizing what's going and the toy/character inner feelings and thoughts, instead of just posing them. 😁
And this is coming from someone who would have loved to have fully articulated dolls as a child! But I also had a blast with normal paper dolls and plain mini figures.
So in the end, if the child likes a particular toy, they will find the way to play and enjoy it.
Love your reviews, by the way! You do a great job going over all the details and you are really honest. All the best! 😊
Am I the only one thinking that it looks like you took a Brats doll and used a hot iron on the body? Now I can't help thinking it'd be fun to make a Saw-like horror scene of them. lol But not going to pay that much to do that. 😂
omg haha that's a concept right there.
