I don't know. I like my first wave Skyler (I know unpopular opinion!). I need to see the dolls in real life. Sometimes I like them in videos but not when I see them in shops.
I felt so bad for you when the slime started getting everywhere! I can't even imagine. It is so sad that these are not fashion dolls anymore - their faces all seem the same, hardly any makeup, and blah clothes. Thank you for your review.
I hate the lack of articulation ! See, the kids won't care as much, but as you show here, us doll collectors like to pose them in different cute poses that actually shows expression & personality. It's art to us. I'm glad I got almost all the dolls I want. But it will be sad if we don't get some adult dolls.
I can understand why they rebranded to try to get more children to want them though I don’t think adult collectors will want these new ones. Thank you for being brave and reviewing her! It’s shocking you found her in the store, I thought they wouldn’t come out until 2024!
baffling that they thought a slime fashion doll was a good idea for 4 year olds? like... I guarantee that slime is gonna end up in the dolls hair, set like concrete and be ruined real fast.
I'm not supporting the RH Rebrand dolls. What made me fall in love with Rainbow High was mainly Shadow High and the Storm Twins. Despite not normally being a completionist, I have 36 SH dolls, including 3 sets of Storm Twins, as well as a custom doll car that I made of the Storm Twins' Jeep. Compared to my SH collection, my RH collection of only 20 dolls is extremely incomplete, and I mainly get the ones that I really like their clothes or like as base dolls. I will definitely be focusing on filling in the gaps in my original RH collection and getting SH duplicates from now on, and this Rebrand has literally made me feel depressed! MGA got rid of what made SH and RH special for me, and this Rebrand literally hurts to watch!🖤💜😞
Imma tell y'all why parents are not buying RH, it's all the hair that becomes a rats nest and the clothes that don't fit well. Adding slime and less articulation will not help! The slime is basically glue, that hardens on clothes when it dries 😑🤷♀️ no clue why MGA thinks it's going to help. Parents buy toys, not kids...Duhh 😂 the Adult Doll collectors should be their target. Not 4 yr olds with no money.
Not "Yeah, it's saddddd but....inevitable?" Vanessa Hudgens' impact. RH was my core doll line so I'm definitely mourning our deceased fashion students.
I think I will buy Sunny and Violet from the swim line so I can use their heads for other dolls lol...but other than that, it's looking a bit sad out there...
Yeah, the Violet swim line has a nice head and I was thinking of switching it out with my Costume Ball Violet who came loaded with factory defects. Plus the Swim Line Violet has a hair part and CB doesn't.
I like the new faces more. The old one looks weird now. I do hope it comes new dolls and not all of them comes with slime. I think she is the best skyler ever :) and im not a Skyler fan. HEY! we dont know anything if we will get more dolls that are more like the older ones.. give us new ones pls. I love SUNNY, POPPY and JADE.
Well i could just cry.. I have collected the entire collection of rainbow high and i love them so much..but all good things come to an end..I will go back to collecting disney and monster high and I will be loving my current rainbow high dolls....and I will be following you because I love your review so please. don't go anywhere 😊...merry chrismas
I believe the spirit of what we grew to love from RH will continue with Storywood Tales. MGA aren't morons, they've never backed down from Mattel. Obviously this rebrand won't be able to compete with MH, as such MGA will use Storywood as their fighting force against MH. Also I think the thought of juggling Rainbow High, Shadow High, and Storywood Tales probably became too overwhelming for MGA. They basically rebranded RH for the younger demographic & did away with Shadow High as a brand. However Shadow High isn't over yet, basically it's elements have most likey merged with and will continue with Storywood Tales. Don't forget about Scarlet Rose, this character obviously has some significant ties to Storywood. In the end it's a win win for both sides, I mean I've seen that as time went on the older fans were preferring Shadow High over Rainbow High anyway. If you think about it this leaves room for them to be more experimentational with Storywood Tales as it's demographic will be aimed at older kids to adults, where as with Rainbow High they can play it safe and stick to what kids like. When Storywood Tales comes out however we adult fans cannot let them down. Support the brand in any way you can, buy the dolls at retail if you can to show that you truly like them. Obviously this is assuming that the dolls have the articulation and fashion of OG Rainbow High, of which I have a feeling they will. You just watch and see how things unfold, remember this comment in a few months. Don't say I didn't tell you.😉
Well, I all happy about three things. I like the faces, the molds are still pretty. The beautiful nylon hair and lashes are still present so I’m happy about that. Lastly, I’m very happy about having stands, series 5 tweens had me kinda worried. Overall I’m still just absolutely crushed by this reboot.
I can see new/current adult collectors enjoying them in many ways. They’re very cute. And honestly I may or may not buy 1 or 2 of them. Just depends. I don’t want/need a bunch of core rainbow high dolls
I don't want to have to wait years and years to get old rainbow high back. I'm really hoping this is a one season stunt, that they see the ship is sinking and back down. I like some of the new themes, like the jnr high sleepover is nice. But I hope the articulation comes back. I pay full prices for most of my dolls. Minus the trunks. I didn't start that way, but if I have the money, it's the least I can do. I sort of think it is on them. Adult collectors have always had gripes with some of the pieces and quality. I wish they could just listen to fans and fix it. I've heard people praising good dolls. Why can't RH just... I know it's hard. But if anyone could do it, let your true colours shine could. And I'm gutted they wouldn't bat for us. 😢
I have 2 of the original large poopsie dolls, and yeh I never touched all the slime stuff! And still won't be today!! Lol your a great reviewer! I'll be Subscribing thankyou
I never liked the original series 1 dolls. Or series 2 much.. So, I'm glad if they're gonna take dolls & ruin them, glad it was these. Like they can slime these & push them into Rainbow World....but please give us adults some more dolls too !
Skyler was my first wave 1 RH doll ! I think they sift release her because blue is the most popular color. I’m only gonna get Ruby because red’s my favorite color
Just looking at Sabrina in back of her....just sad, we had that ! And now, they give us this junk ? I don't think kids are gonna like them much either. I wouldn't have. I'd rather have the Pinkly with the cutie doggie, that she can hold.
okay I really like her but that glitter on their faces needs to go and that skirt should’ve been pants BUT I feel like we’ve known about this shift coming for a while so I’m not surprised they changed but I wish it was better
I wonder if this is a full rebrand or a side collection It's definitely for children not adult collectors Add slime, a pet, taking away extra clothes It's all bad. Shouldn't change how parents buy maybe but they'll lose our business no question
the way people forgot that Rh started out as a slime gimmick type of toy and honestly I dont understand how they can evolve to fashion dolls which was for the better but then to just revert back to the slime gimmick I get it and understand that its supposed to appeal to the younger audience but mga fr needs to let the dam slime gimmick die already
RH I buy at Retail MH I buy on sale sense RH is way more worth it for the quality The slime dolls I’m probably going be the first ones I only get on sale
I dont think this line is bad, is it for adult collectors no, but ik kids will like it now do I think this is the end for RH no, because they have other lines coming up like storywood, moonbows and winter etc
She is cute really. Not for adult collectors but cute for younger children.
I think she is the best skyler ever :)
I don't know. I like my first wave Skyler (I know unpopular opinion!). I need to see the dolls in real life. Sometimes I like them in videos but not when I see them in shops.

I know, as an adult collector I feel disappointed, sad, and somewhat abandoned.
I really don't understand the glittery skin??? I'm so disappointed with this rebrand
Imma tell y'all why parents are not buying RH, it's all the hair that becomes a rats nest and the clothes that don't fit well. Adding slime and less articulation will not help!

I know these are geared towards younger children but not even kid me would've wanted to stuff my dolls purse with slime. I'm confused by all of this .
I think I will buy Sunny and Violet from the swim line so I can use their heads for other dolls lol...but other than that, it's looking a bit sad out there...
Yeah, the Violet swim line has a nice head and I was thinking of switching it out with my Costume Ball Violet who came loaded with factory defects. Plus the Swim Line Violet has a hair part and CB doesn't.
same! my exact plan. already bought 2 aliexpress bodies
I like the new faces more. The old one looks weird now. I do hope it comes new dolls and not all of them comes with slime. I think she is the best skyler ever :) and im not a Skyler fan.
HEY! we dont know anything if we will get more dolls that are more like the older ones.. give us new ones pls.
I love SUNNY, POPPY and JADE.
I just can not find a review of the re-BOOT that is positive, I wonder how long it is going to take MGA to realize that they just killed the brand.
If they are following Mattel with Barbie, I’m sure they do not care. Sad. Soon they’ll backtrack the dolls completely and focus on pets.
Well i could just cry.. I have collected the entire collection of rainbow high and i love them so much..but all good things come to an end..I will go back to collecting disney and monster high and I will be loving my current rainbow high dolls....and I will be following you because I love your review so please. don't go anywhere 😊...merry chrismas
i dont get why mga dont see what people want

baby wake up, Draculijah dropped a new video!!!
I can see new/current adult collectors enjoying them in many ways. They’re very cute. And honestly I may or may not buy 1 or 2 of them. Just depends. I don’t want/need a bunch of core rainbow high dolls
I'm A Doll Collector...
Will Not Be Buying These
Childish Dolls Made For
4 year olds...
What A SHAME MGA!!!
You Ruined RAINBOW HIGH !!!!!😢😢😢😢😢
I don't want to have to wait years and years to get old rainbow high back. I'm really hoping this is a one season stunt, that they see the ship is sinking and back down. I like some of the new themes, like the jnr high sleepover is nice. But I hope the articulation comes back.

Why can't RH just... I know it's hard. But if anyone could do it, let your true colours shine could. And I'm gutted they wouldn't bat for us. 😢
I Don’t Like slime either 😅
I have 2 of the original large poopsie dolls, and yeh I never touched all the slime stuff! And still won't be today!! Lol your a great reviewer! I'll be Subscribing thankyou
I never liked the original series 1 dolls. Or series 2 much.. So, I'm glad if they're gonna take dolls & ruin them, glad it was these. Like they can slime these & push them into Rainbow World....but please give us adults some more dolls too !
I ordered the new Amaya. Love her rainbow colors.
So Sad...
MGA..You Did Us Wrong....
Fix This MGA...You Are Going DOWN!!!!!
WILL NOT BUY....😢😢😢
I personally will not be selling my collection at all. I’m a new collector so I don’t have the coveted ones but the ones I have I love love love .
Skyler was my first wave 1 RH doll ! I think they sift release her because blue is the most popular color. I’m only gonna get Ruby because red’s my favorite color
Slime doesn’t get old but it does dry up
Just looking at Sabrina in back of her....just sad, we had that ! And now, they give us this junk ? I don't think kids are gonna like them much either. I wouldn't have. I'd rather have the Pinkly with the cutie doggie, that she can hold.
Pinkly is quality. Beautiful dress and earrings and purse. I just got her.
okay I really like her but that glitter on their faces needs to go and that skirt should’ve been pants BUT I feel like we’ve known about this shift coming for a while so I’m not surprised they changed but I wish it was better
I hope people that know they don't like these dolls don't buy them at full price simply out of curiosity.
I wonder if this is a full rebrand or a side collection
It's definitely for children not adult collectors
Add slime, a pet, taking away extra clothes
It's all bad. Shouldn't change how parents buy maybe but they'll lose our business no question
the way people forgot that Rh started out as a slime gimmick type of toy and honestly I dont understand how they can evolve to fashion dolls which was for the better but then to just revert back to the slime gimmick I get it and understand that its supposed to appeal to the younger audience but mga fr needs to let the dam slime gimmick die already
Genuine question what doll line should i move on to now that rainbow high is dead I need recommendations pls‼️🙏
love when stores mess up
I'm willing & have paid full price for RH/SH...but over half were on sale.
i dont get why ppl buy mh at retail prices n not rh?
Sad 😔 😔
The swim dolls out did the slime dolls hard
You did the slime wrong btw their were instructions
did they make skylar lighter than sunny? sunny looks darker than her on the back of the box? orginally they had the same skin tone.
RH I buy at Retail MH I buy on sale sense RH is way more worth it for the quality
The slime dolls I’m probably going be the first ones I only get on sale
😢😢😢😢😢
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think you’re being very hard on these dolls
I will say they have actually grown on me since I’ve gotten slime Sunny, I’ve had a change of heart
Ps.. the pet is sooo creepy
I didn’t think kids liked slime anymore 🤔
I won’t buy them ,loss of wrist articulation also the slime thing is stupid ,what have they done to these dolls is very sad.
I dont think this line is bad, is it for adult collectors no, but ik kids will like it now do I think this is the end for RH no, because they have other lines coming up like storywood, moonbows and winter etc
