Fun fact: A Kwanzaa Barbie was released in 2006 as part of the “Dolls of the World: Festivals of the World” line. They’ve also released dolls for other holidays around the world in the past like Carnival and Oktoberfest. I do agree that we need these dolls to be more of a mainstay and it’s lovely to see that Luna New Year and Day of the Dead are getting new dolls each year. With the release of the second Diwali Barbie this year I’m hoping it becomes a mainstay as well especially since canonically South Asian fashion dolls are rare. I hope Kwanzaa Barbie makes a return.
All of these are gorgeous. The Kwanza one is a vibe. You are right it is pan African (non specific to any country) is relatively new (came to prominence in 1966) this should be yearly 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Hopefully it'll light a fire under Mattel's butt. I'd like to see another design next year include more green, black and red along with the kinara for the 7 candles.
I’d love to see you do these again maybe even create a 3d version or collab with someone else the could do it from your designs. How about a lineup for Valentine’s Day that isn’t stereotypical?
I think these are so wonderful. I would love for Barbie to expand into these other holidays beyond the one that is labeled the holiday Barbie, like they used to for all types of occasions in the 80s 90s early 2000s era.
Omgeeeee I am so looking forward to this!! I love seeing your art work! I always look forward to your new intro art to change when you redo your hair :3
I feel it’s only a matter of time before Mattel give us specific Chanukah and Kwanza dolls - we had the first Diwali doll in 2024 (mine arrived 3 days ago!). Happy holidays to all! Whatever you celebrate at this time of year (not forgetting Hogmanay coming soon!)
Green Christmas Barbie, lovely! If you want to add more Christmas accessories, maybe a red poinsettia on her hip? It looks like you gave her ornament earrings, maybe a tree-topper fascinator in her hair? ( I'd pick something totally not glam, like a mini Frosty the snowman hat, ⛄ LOL!) But maybe a green and gold tinsel spray or a tiny mercury glass ornament....????) 🤔 All four are great! Great job bringing your visions to reality. Very nice! 🥰
Merry Christmas Rainn! 🎄 I love them. They’re so beautiful, and something I really love is that all four of them look like they genuinely could be a Barbie Mattel would release.
I'm in the UK so it's currently the 26th. We all came home after Dinner and just fell asleep for like 6 hours so I'm watching this at midnight. Edit: These are stunning. Kwanza is my favourite by far. I'd really like to see more of your designs.
Omg you look gorgeous in this video! Your look reminds me of G1 Frankie with the striped sweater, chain earrings, safety pins & colorscheme! 💙 Sooo cute & the designs were lovely too 😁😁
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! These are SO pretty!!!!! I can't stop looking at the Hannukah one, she's absolutely stunning. I think you should do it again if you feel inspired to, because I had a lot of fun staring at these, but no pressure if you're not feeling inspired or want to pursue other ideas that you have around this time of year!
I have to say, your designs are a little bit at the simpler side, but that's what makes them striking. I absolutely share your enthusiasm for that Kwanza doll, if I celebrated Kwanza, I would love to wear it! My second favs are both the snowglobe dress and the Hanukah one. I couldn't decide which I like more! I definitely think that doll companies should take an advice from your designs. I miss more original Holidays dolls. Merry Christmas ❄️⛄
I loved seeing your creations, and you have every right to feel proud of them! 🙌✨ The snow globe Barbie is my favourite 😻☃❄ Maybe you could do more videos like this, for ex. by picking different prompts from a jar at random, then creating a design around them 🤔 The prompts being a brand ( Monster High, Rainbow High, Barbie, Bratz etc. ..), a colour scheme and a special theme ( swim line, winter wonderland, basically anything that's out there 😉) I am sure you would come up with some really cool and unique designs 😎✨ And since you mentioned Tony, maybe he could challenge your creativity even more by giving you his own prompts for a doll design. Who knows what his brain might come up with haha 🤯😆 First thing that came to my mind would be a line of fashion dolls all based around Paul Walker's cars from the Fast and Furious franchise. Would love to see both your interpretation of something like that, as well as (of course) Tony's reaction 💯 Oh and also you look very lovely with your hair up like that 🥰
She got a bit of underboob haha definitely there have been some collector dolls with skimpier outfits, I guess I was just like…maybe I went too much skin for a holiday Barbie if that makes sense?

Ok, Barbies is gorgeous, but let's take a moment at your look today! Gorgeous!
Thank you 🥹

They look great! The snow globe idea is my favorite ❤️ you should design other holidays throughout the year
I’m looking at Valentine’s Day like… 👀
The snow globe design needs to be a real doll!!
Thank you for doing a Hannukah doll!!!!! My fave but they all good awesome
I love how Hanukkah Barbie turned out! I hope Mattel would do something like this someday. Happy Hanukkah!

The snow globe dress reminds me of the LED Belle dress that came out last year or the year before.

No worries at all, sleep is always a good excuse in my book haha
@@FaeryTaleDolls It is because I got to go to work overnight. LOL Have an amazing week!!

4:38 I don’t think it looks scandalous I thought plenty of Collector Barbies had dresses like this

@ Yeah
Wow did you digitally draw these yourself ?
Outside of tracing the body/face shape for Barbie authenticity, yes!

Merry Christmas to you too!
