could you bring back your collection series? It's been 3 years and I'd love to see your current full collection for each princess and how it's grown since 2017 & 2018!

[@DallaPavlovicProductionsOnline]

YES!! I'd love to see that

[@quitaulla1569]

I like the modern Ariel better because she looks more mature not like a little girl like the one from 1992. I would love to see more videos like this one. 😀✌🎈😍 Love your channel!

Do Mulan !! 😍

[@kathymetzle8099]

They're all beautiful, but the Mattel dolls have my heart. We seem to prefer the ones we grew up with!

[@Potatogirl-oz8be]

Yes!! Same

[@elekmoss]

Tyco was was acquired by Mattel in 1997.

[@wavygrayvy]

I think as a kid I definitely would've wanted the modern doll because I was always very picky about things being movie accurate, and I think the extra articulation would make her much more fun to play with. Now though I think the calypso Ariel would make a much more interesting collection piece. I ADORE that outfit.

[@robsonriot]

The 1997 dolls are treasure! Best line ever for Ariel. And I loved the idea of comparing old and new ones. I would love to see Pocahontas and Mulan also.

[@lilicontreras677]

It’s so cool to see Ariel dolls change during the years!🧜‍♀️🐠

[@adrianarojas4506]

I prefer tyco ariel’s dolls!! They clothes are amazing even more in 1992/93/94, I love all them 😍😍

[@WinterWonder99]

The 1997 Mattel line are definitely the best Ariel dolls imo. They are all so cute and capture Ariel's personality and spirit the most I think.

[@amybeal2507]

I had the original Ariel by Tyco and while her face was a bit of a struggle I loved her!!! Took her in the pool all the time to recreate the movie

[@louisacoote2337]

Prince Eric looks like a vampire! Would love to see the 1997 tail to dress transformation!

[@WinterWonder99]

Tyco Ariel's are great too. They are very cute and I love the fashions of the dolls from the late 80's/early 90's. The first Ariel you showed is so pretty and fun. I agree I wish Disney would do more fun things with the princess dolls

[@Chilakkuma]

I had a Tyco Ariel as a child, I accidentally left her outside and my brother ran over her with the lawnmower, but she survived! I prefer the Tyco Ariel personally, she is a child technically and the quality of the fashions was great.

[@lindenherz6693]

I recently found again my Calypso Ariel that I got as a kid for Christmas and restored her hair back to old luscious beauty. It was so nice to see her in her original package again. Bringing back memories. Thanks for that. Greetings from Germany.

[@marianavarrete5415]

Yes, more princess videos please. I love watching your videos 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@angh3ll202]

Princess Mermaid Ariel is my all time favorite! Had her as a kid too and I loved changing her fins into a dress. Also my favorite face mold from the time.

[@maemaeo_]

please remake the disney princess collection series!! where you showed us all of your dolls for each princess, i loved those videos SO much and i’m desperate to see how your collections have grown!!! 🥺💖

[@ELteacherfanny]

I am obsessed with Ariel so I have a lot of Ariel dolls. My favorite ever is the early 90’s doll. She’s supposed to be 16yo, so that doll captures perfectly the age and sweetness of Ariel.

[@WinterWonder99]

Would definitely be cool to see early princesses dolls to the newer ones. Of course the 90's Mattel dolls are the best!

[@brittanymadelianne9247]

Do another one of these videos with aurora dolls please!

[@sambruno3072]

I love anything Ariel related she’s my favorite and will always be my favorite both dolls are beautiful I like both

[@pegasuslb]

Tyco Ariel dolls are absolutely the best! The face is so cute and movie accurate and her fashions are incredible and so creative. Beautiful Hair Calypso has a special place in my heart as she’s first Ariel I ever had!

[@banyalaplace]

I have the 90s mattel Ariel

[@shaneharrison6073]

The second ariel doll. There was a collection with, flounder, Sebastian and scuttle. This is by far the most authentic doll ever. Its a matter of taste, in my opinion.

[@emmanuelblue1320]

I actually really envy kids in the early 90s who got to play with the later Ariel Tyco dolls because they are so interesting and beautiful and full of those bright happy colors and all these accessories and I love how every doll from back then has its own story and a different outfit to match the occasion.I know I would be ecstatic as a kid if I had these dolls. Nowadays most Ariel dolls have close to 0 clothing because everything is molded on and they usually come with just a hairbrush so yea I believe that 90s Tyco dolls are underappreciated gems!

[@ashleyevans9810]

good lord i miss my Tyco Ariel dolls!!!! ='(

[@arielsgrotto822]

Love this idea ! Anything you do with little mermaid content is my fav ❤️🥰

[@handsew1774]

I know it's so impossible that this could happen, but I really like the idea of Mattel do it again the 1997 Ariel version, because she's so wonderful in so many ways! Her 90's doll line is so pretty! If I have to chose an Ariel...It would be the Disney store one!

[@dennisostergards6504]

My favorite Ariel dolls are the one from 1997 and the Disney Store doll. I got both of them 🥰😍 I also had the Tyco Ariel doll as a child, I had the original doll with the purple seashell bra and the green tail.

[@dollylinkera]

Tyco vas so cute ❤️ the problem was the legs quality. And the Eric from Tyco I like him. I have bride and groom from my childhood. I think their were my first "Barbie sized" dolls ever

[@dollyshirokuma7538]

I'm totally in love with the 90's vintage one!!!! :3

[@galaxyskeleton]

Yes! New series please!

[@disneysfantasyworld6502]

My favorite Disney Princess is ariel 🥰🥰🥰🤩🤩🤩

[@gabsy_ferreira]

I just noticed that Mattel's Ariel face mold from 1997 dolls is the same as early Mattel's Tangled Rapunzel dolls :O As for my fav... Well, it's difficult! I love the long length doll in Tyco Ariel do. But i also love the hair color skin tone and clothes from Disney... Aaaaah I'm going with both lol

[@iheartwicked91]

I have a big Ariel collection and I absolutely love all my vintage Ariel dolls! They just don’t make them like this anymore! Tyco and Mattel being my favorites! So so so nice!

[@madisonhoffman4144]

7:35 I’ve never seen ariel with a purple tail! I love it!

[@Joika2323]

Love this for a series!! I can't wait to see which princess is next

[@jasonvieira7648]

Please make a series out of it that would be lovely and faboules

[@kseniyamorein5481]

I would be happy to watch ANY video that you make, on ANY topic. Your videos are my "happy place". Thank you very much.

[@nekoboygames7786]

Ariel is short though. I really thought the Mattel version was too tall and looked too adultish. Ariel is short and cute. And she is only 16. A 16 yo is still growing. The Tyco one and the disneystore one are my favorites.

[@latinfatuation]

Wow I also collect Ariel dolls. I have a different face mold from 91 to now. And I agree with you 1997 is my fave!!! Loved this video ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Pastel_Void]

Does anyone else remember the Ariel doll with a clear tail with water or whatever in it and it would light up and she would sing? It was my favorite Ariel doll.

[@pegasuslb]

Also keep in mind Ariel was only 15 in the movie so it would make sense she has a Skipper body. Also Joey I own over 30 Tyco Ariels in my collection and they are quite solid quality, don’t be afraid with playing with her.

[@Dani-xl3bm]

Ahhh! I was born in 1990 and I had the second Ariel doll Tyco released! The one they made before your 92 Ariel! I liked her as a kid, but yours is way better because of all that HAIR.

[@tracyingalls2074]

I remember the original Ariel dolls and having conversations with friends about how she has changed over the years. Great video! Also, what about Disney dolls that were made by Mattel, then Hasbro got the license, and how much those changed? My friend hated what changes Hasbro had done and wouldn't buy those versions lol

[@DollTime]

Great video! Enjoy the Tyco Ariel guilt free, I think that if a leg falls off, it's really just an inevitable fate. A leg fell off both my Arista and deluxe Ariel back when they were brand new. The fin can hold it in place, it's not really noticeable.

[@kel6861]

I love the 90s doll cause I had them when I was little ❤️ This is a great video idea! Loved it

[@justanobody864]

The Disneystore used to change the Patern and Fabrics of Ariels Tail every Year or other Year. The curend Design is out a while now. I don´t know why. But you can still buy some of the older Tails from China (Aliexpress, eBay...). There was one Tail in a Spandex/Lycra like Fabric which was great to take into the Bathtub. No Glitter and things. Now they all ouse ths fake satin that can not get wet and also the Glitter would wash off. "My Sister" had a 1997 Ariel from Mattel which was great. only Downside was that the green Color of the Tail would rub off and turn the turn it in a dull silver Color. She also had flat feet because of the Teen Skipper Body but better than the old Skipper Body from Tyco. Im so mad that the Disneystore doesn´t make a Ariel with a solid Tail. I cross my fingers for the Live Action Movie. But since Cruella and Mulan each only got Collector Dolls and no Playline Doll my hopes are not high. And from Hasbro im a little bit afraid what they will come up with. They allread ruin the classic Ariel and other Disney Princess.

[@ivynares3548]

Tyco Ariel is my favorite, definitely.

[@Wizard608]

YES PLEASE MAKE FOLLOW UP VIDEOS! DO SNOW WHITE NEXT!

[@PrincessTreasure]

there’s a bath toy from around this time as well that sings and they have another one that’s a pull string! they’re such neat finds if you’re into vintage dolls/ pull string dolls/ ariel in general!

[@enochnox7852]

I would love to see Cinderella Then and now!!

[@TheStOne1]

I love this series. For me Tyco Ariel dolls are very special and cute, they had a lot of details and quite good quality, also they made tons of them with different outfits, themes, different skin tones like the Calypso ones, long haired dolls, dolls with small toys, dolls from the TV series like the one with Spot the whale or with the two mer-babies, a doll of Pearl... Wish they'd made a doll for Gabriella and Urchin too... Mattel Ariels are the best, amazing quality, movie accurate facesculpts, beautiful dresses too, and Disney Store has pretty good faceculpts too, but it has lost a lot of charm from the previous dolls, the quality is cheap very basic, the heads are quite big, the bodies don't look very proportionate, the arms and legs are too thin with ugly articulations, but still beautiful and the best we can have nowadays, because Hasbro dolls are awful especially in the last two years... I wish Disney Store would put more effort and care and quality in their classic playline dolls even if that would need rising the price a little.

[@marslander2488]

Ok, this is wild… I LITERALLY just had a dream last night that Mattel reproduced their Little Mermaid doll line from 1997! The Tyco and Mattel dolls are my fav. I’m not a fan of the Disney Store face sculpt.

[@chels8103]

I have every doll boxed from the 97 line I don’t think there will ever be a better little mermaid line😂😂

[@HollieMoodie]

The Tyco one really does look like a little kid. It basically looks like the awkward Jr. High outfit Ariel had in the 90's. LOL

[@stardustcherry2158]

I had the 1992 Ariel and she was the same size as my Thumbelina doll and easily fitted in her dress. That says how tiny she actually was for an Ariel doll.

[@bethschreiber6107]

Love this! I have both of those dolls. I Love them both. I got the older doll at a cute little toy shop over on the Oregon coast for only $10. She's of the shelf with my 90s tyco Triton doll.

[@joeeisenman8580]

I’m not going to lie, I LOVE the Hasbro doll faces!

[@GeorgeKenself]

To be honest,the Ariel dolls from the late nineties are the best.

[@eccentriccalico9488]

90s Ariel is giving me some Totally Hair Barbie vibes, lol. In terms of articulation, the Disney store doll wins hands down, but I think I like the 90s version a little more as far as the face and hair (like you said, Ariel needs her fringe).

[@leahp1231]

nice video love your channel

[@TheFeelingOfC]

I LOVE THIS!!! Pls do more!

[@StorytellerForeverYT]

This kinda video for Jasmine and mulan would be fun 🙈

[@valeriewest3950]

Hahahaha I love the "dead" face you make at 2:52 in! Very funny!

[@twilightsquire]

I'm definitely a Disney Store doll person I didn't really grow up in the glory days of Mattel and the current Hasbro is 😬😬😬

[@quitaulla1569]

I like the modern Ariel better than the one from 1992 because she looks more matured, the other one looks like a little girl. But I like the box presentation and all the accesories better in the one from 1992. Yes! Make more videos like this one! I Love your channel! 😍✌

[@cordellford791]

Both are beautiful! I do love the older one!

[@UserHunca]

So 90’s? I was 38 in ‘92, & I don’t recall much that looked like that irl. I had almost every Ariel Tyco made. For the time? I thought they were great.

[@MichelleJune]

Maybe do a comparison of the orignal bratz to reboot

[@julieannefowler5768]

Something I appreciate about the older Mattel dolls, is you can put Barbie fashions on them since they shared a body type with '90's Barbie. Face sculpt wise though, I vastly prefer the Disney Store because one look at the face and your brain says 'hey, this is the movie brought to life'. It was a fun video and I would love to see you cover other princesses in a 'Then and Now' style. Perhaps Esmeralda since this year is the anniversary of Hunchback?

[@clos4824]

Good video. My favorite Ariel dolls are also the 1997 dolls from the movie rerelease. The Disney Store dolls are also excellent except for the fins. I did like the later Tyco dolls, but they were just too short. I think they made them like that so she could be similar to the Skipper dolls because Skipper was a teenager. Definitely hate the Hasbro ones.

[@petergillscousedolls]

Really love this video would love to see more 😍

[@jfoxkhajiit4631]

I spent £85 on reproduction Bratz because of u !!! But u r my favourite gift advice channel after toohunky, he’s so cute even in HD 🥺😖🙃

[@antoniosnyder6192]

I also miss ariel's bangs

[@Spinnradler]

Hi! I grew up with the Tyco dolls. I had one which was more movie accurate (green fish tail, purple sea shells) and I loved that very much, though you're right, the disproportions between Ariel and Eric are sad, Tyco should have made Ariel bigger/larger. Nevertheless, the Tyco tails, especially the fins, are much more beautiful then later ones. I think, the Tyco Ariel dolls are fine to play her life under the sea. The Tyco Eric was handsome in my opinion. When I first saw the commercial of the 1997 Mattel Ariel, I thought, she looks so much more like Ariel than my Tyco doll does (grass always greener etc), but when I bought her many years later on eBay, I was disappointed: the Face is surely pretty, but somehow also out of proportions ... No, I'm a huge fan of the Tyco Ariel, but for the human & grown up Ariel, I'd rather use the Jewel Hair Mermaid Midge 😂

[@PrincessTreasure]

first of all, how dare you do gods work on this day. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😩💕

[@franfinesim]

I today cleaned my old Ariel doll from 1997. I was so mad at myself that I cut her hair shorter and also her fringe! I lost half of her pink dress and I cut her purple tail. Too bad I cannot find the outfit anywhere to buy 🙁. OMG!!!! THIS IS HER 7:21!!! Oh, how much memories have been woken up! My mom is still angry that I cut her hair 🤣

[@clos4824]
