It hurts my soul that Mattel no longer puts quality on their dolls 😖

[@PrincessofPower84]

Exactly. Painted on bathing suits? 🤦‍♂️

[@cookiemonxchu]

Dolls are not awesome these days. I thought it would be better in the future when I was little. I was wrong. I love vintage dolls... they are another level!

[@wplants9793]

@PrincessofPower84 As a mom I have to admit the painted on suits are good for little kids. But still, the quality is terrible

[@lauracudmore8467]

Yup it’s so sad that Barbie’s are so poorly made

[@marieantoinette4816]

@@wplants9793Why is it good?

[@heatherhayes7296]

It’s like they got worse as the years went on. Recently cleaned out my parents attic and found all my pieces from the 90’s definitely the best years. Would love for you to do all the random extra sets I always liked those like I remember having a bakery/café set that I loved.

[@InkpadsPlaypad]

I know it was painful to watch them slowly decline in detail and in size :-(

What an amazing mom, to get sinks that would make for great barbie pools! I want to be a mom like that!

[@RockinRoyaltyx3]

Me too sis, ima aim for that. Because I want that for myself too. 💅

[@Mike-or2cv]

Wathc "Barbie Boy" short movie on YT, there is also a mom that made waterpool from sink :)

[@Toywithme200]

I love the older barbie swimming pools. They were actually big enough, and deep enough for barbie to fit into. Unlike today. They are so small barbie doesn't even barely fit. I bought the 2021 one, and it was so small, we ended up just using it for the little Chelsea dolls.

[@kimberlywalls9869]

I had the 1979 Barbie Dream pool as a child! I absolutely loved it! It was much deeper than the shallow pools they have now. Yes I'm in my 50s! Still love dolls and always will! Love your channel. Thanks for bringing us so much cool content.

[@PRNOBTCH]

Those were some great memories weren't they I'm almost 47 and I'm still a Barbie girl and you are absolutely right the Barbie dream pool was hands down the best pool ever it went so great with the dreamhouse and it just was the coolest

[@j.pnewcomer1069]

My mom gave me her '73 Pool set after we found out my grandmother kept all of my mom and aunt's barbies in storage, and my mom who has OCD kept her barbies in absolute marvelous condition and only had a couple things missing per set (usually just a shoe) by the time they came into my hands; I felt so guilty if I'd loose or break items that had come from my mom's collection, I tried really hard to keep them in the condition I got them in. I'd only trust certain friends with the vintage dolls. The vintage dolls also weren't aloud to leave the house. Eventually keeping them in. good condition payed off because I sold *all* of my dolls and sets for a collective 4,000-ish dollars (I collected some of my own)

[@ikeforshort5363]

45 here, never had any girls of my own. I had 5 sisters so we had to split everything. I was a tomboy so I keep anything, now I wish I did.

[@tinx713]

it's shocking to see that the size of the pools would start to decrease around the time mattel dropped the quality of the dolls

[@Iroh12345]

I love these Barbie playset videos of yours. It's so interesting seeing how the playsets change through the decades! I feel like ''extra'' things such as playsets and fashion packs don't get much attention when it comes to most doll lines, which results in info on them being scarce and images being hard to find. I wish that was different and hopefully your videos will encourage people to save info on- and take pictures of those things for the future :)

[@Penelope222]

This just answered a question I’ve had for years! When my parents moved from my childhood home, there was a random purple Barbie chair, but none of us could remember where it came from. Now I know it was from the Barbie pool party - I remember getting the pool but had forgotten the accessories.

[@beatricebrown6581]

It’s good to see Barbie content that’s actually super insightful and not just like those crappy kids toy egg surprise channels

[@pink-a-palouza7888]

I actually really love how the first Barbie pool looks like something that someone probably actually had in their backyard I got a slightly different color version of the 2003 Pool at 12:17 Because I remember having the palm tree breaking and also the flowers just spinning around I wouldn’t be surprised if my bedroom has water damage because of how much of a mess I made with all that water

[@Bulls_Aye]

I also had that 2003 pool! Although i think mine was the same color shown in the picture. And now that you mention it i also remember the spinny flowers.

[@erinmoran7118]

I had the Barbie fountain pool as a little girl and it remains one of my favorite playsets that I ever had!

[@liveloveresell2886]

Same!

[@emilyshortt665]

Your videos make me so happy when I need to be cheered up. Thank you for putting them out and putting so much work into them

Killing it with those intros bro plus I love the hair. Also as a side note, could you possibly go through beach Barbie dolls throughout the years, I like bikini fashion dolls

[@ikeforshort5363]

I was going to say the same thing. I’d love see how evolved the swimmings changed and color schemes ❤

[@itbree3881]

I have the Barbie California Dream Patio Pool set it was my cousin's when she was a little kid and it was passed down to me cuz I am a huge Barbie fan and all her vintage Barbies from the '80s and early '90s yes I am was born in 92

[@angrynoodletwentyfive6463]

I think its so sweet that his mom was supportive of his love for barbies enough to turn the bathroom into a barbie pool playland... especially from a time when there was even more of a stigma to boys playing with dolls its sweet to hear stories of parents being supportive of their kids inerests

[@ristiannarussell4622]

When I was little I got a box of a whole bunch of older Barbie stuff from cousins/siblings that had a lot of well kept items from the 70s. So I had the 1972 United Airlines folding plane, the 1978 Star Traveler Motorhome, the 1979 yellow & white Dream House and, of course, I had the 1979 Dream Pool. I loved having older items that looked more real & the deeper pool. The only survivor is the Motorhome, as I played with the others to literal bits.

[@wickster2121]

I used sinks as a pool, shoe boxes as cars and limos, and chairs and couches as bedrooms and studio apartments :)

[@cassandralyris4918]

I got the 1986 pool set for Christmas 1987 along with tropical Barbie and Hawaii Miko. It's right up there in my Christmas memories alongside my first Barbie (Twist n Turn Barbie Rocker) and getting my Nintendo (Christmas 1989). I still have most of the pool, surprisingly. I would've LOVED those sinks your mom put in your house growing up. I am retroactively jealous!

[@pambrandon4186]

Love these trips down memory lane that you take us along on. The changes in style and taste are interesting to watch. It seems like everything in later years has to have a gimmick.

[@nicole4c475]

The 1979 one is my favorite. The old stuff is awesome

[@brynnmccann6480]

I had the Barbie dream pool from 1979. It was and will always be my favorite toy! It was so much fun.

[@dwilloughby13]

I have the first one 1973, I bought in an antique mall it was inexpensive, it collapses when filled sadly, loving the '93 fountain pool, might have to hunt that one down, thank you for another great video, love this series you do

[@laureencriss8220]

I had that one when I was a little girl. And I remember it was difficult to put together and stay together. My friend and I played with it inside one night and it made a terrible mess. I think that its poor construction and large volume for the water is the reason for the newer, more shallow ones to come. My friend and I were Barbie fanatics! What fun we had in the 70s!

[@TheDollSalon]

I would kill for a whole barbie water park with actual water slides that work

[@wplants9793]

I had the 1979 pool, it was awesome!! I got it in 1990 at a yard sale, my grandma and grandpa bought it for me. It was $5 which was not cheap 😅 the shower was as cool as it looked. I waited all year to be able to bring it outside in the summer sun

[@thenappyewe]

I just recently bought a 1979 Barbie Dream House for $50 that came with the Dream Pool! I love it. It is MASSIVE! So that one is my favorite…it’s from my childhood. And that Barbie you held up at the end with the orange suit….DROOLING! Also… I was born in 1972…20 YEARS before you! I laughed so hard! I was like I’m old! This happens often nowadays! I love your channel Sugar and keep it up! Blessings!

[@Persephone_Personified]

I had the bubbling spa! I got it for my 5th birthday in 1985! I pressed the bubbler constantly! 😮

[@phillylilmermaid7802]

I had that Fountain Pool and it was everything. I was obsessed with it.

[@RGSuperfan]

My Sister had Marina tropical scent. She came with a small bottle of alcohol free perfume and it smelled surprisingly very pleasant, and the doll was fabulous, beautiful face, great hair

[@awesome661]

I'm an old barbie collector. I hD the first ever pool for Malibu barbie. Loved it. Hours of play

[@FerrariCarr]

The Fountain Pool is definitely the best. So decadent!

[@CrispChicken-di8ps]

I like how you said almost everyone was your favorite, lol! I had the crystal clear pool. Seeing it now has brought back great memories, thank you for that!

[@BlackRoseRanma]

I had a jewel Barbie and the 1994 pool when I was little. I only remembered that I had them when I saw this video so thanks for bringing back fun childhood memories!

[@thepowerisyetunknown7710]

The one I had as a kid is missing, sadly. It was made of soft plastic, covered in pink and orange flowers and came with purple cocktail drinks and a tiki themed bench thingy. I had color changing dolphins and an orange ball in mine but there's a possibility those came from a separate set(? It probably was from like 2010. EDIT: I found it! its from 2007's Surf's Up line. Maybe mine was like the budget version or something lol The dolphins where from another doll but the ball is from this set. It also came with a parakeet.

[@tiananesbitt7156]

[@ismaelrodriguez6420]

I love this new series of videos showing everything Barbie ever owned! Thanks for sharing your art with us doll lovers. xo

[@julieannefowler5768]

I never had any of the poolsets, but I have to say my favorite is honestly the original. It looks like a pool my family actually had and I would love to recreate something like it for a Made-to-Move Barbie (with non-painted on swimsuit) for some fun summer photo shoots. The pools definitely got worse as time went on. Mattel has robbed Barbie of her fabulousness ToT

[@NenadlPopovic]

Fountain pool is definetly the most elborate & most beautiful one!!! 🥰😍 I remember very well when I saw it at one house during bday party back in the 90s, but no one was playing there, so I couldn't either cuz it wasn't mine 😨😭😱

I had one of the Vintage Pool for my 1960 's Barbies'. This Pool was Very Deep & Big.This was the First one I purchased 1973. Sold when I moved to Calgary, Canada

[@laureencriss8220]

I had that one. It was not well constructed, so the depth and volume of water could make a terrible mess if ever you made the mistake of trying it out indoors. 😂

I remember going into toys rus with my parents cuz my dad wanted to buy me a new toy. I just loved going down the barbie aisle.

[@juliannerohm1297]

Wow. Your mom for the win! What a lovely thought for putting in those sinks just for you and your Barbies! Wow.

[@magdlynstrouble2036]

This was a really fun overview! I have so many different beach Barbies from the thrift stores, probably 2 dozen ( I just found Splash n Color Teresa a week ago), but I had no idea there were so many pools for them. Thanks for educating me!

[@trosa1385]

Omg your channel makes me so happy!! I’m literally going to my parents’ house next week to get mine! Lol! Do you ever do fan submission videos of their Barbie collections?

[@jesperlivid9184]

The pool fun whale was always one of my favorite toys as a kid! Perfect size for Littlest Pet Shop and other smaller toys. Although I used to play with it a ton and squeeze the water into my mouth a lot as a kid. IYKYK. 😬

[@liveloveresell2886]

I used to play with my Barbie’s in the sink too! I used the faucet as their diving board! I was fortunate enough to have the Barbie fountain pool and Omg it was one of my favorite barbie accessories! I played with it to death. I still own it 30 years later and my daughter plays with it. Unfortunately, the batteries got corrosion damage and the fountain won’t work anymore. The pretty pinks also faded to an ugly cream shade. Ugh I loved that pool sooooo much💖

[@Dresden219]

Wet N' Wild was an actual waterpark at the time. She was a co-branded situation. Barbie did that quite a bit in the 80/90's.

[@brittanyregan4881]

I had the 2004 beach pool set. I loved that thing growing up and I feel like it’s probably one of the best pools they ever came out with.

[@dolliegurl4607]

Felt so nostalgic with this video.. I also loved to play with my dolls in the water. I had hand-me-down dolls (that I would KILL to have again!), one of them was a walking Jamie doll who got her hair washed every day at the pool! That poor girl lost lots of her hair by the time I stopped playing with her! Your videos are so much fun to watch, it's like stepping into the joy of childhood all over again!🥰 I also wish Mattel would put a little more effort into Barbie. Clothes that have snap buttons, more articulation, accessories with painted details...and I'm going to say it--maybe it's time for an updated face?!? And HAIR!! Long hair please, good quality long hair on every doll!! Well, I can dream...😌

[@articakennedy4822]

Ahhh that 1979 Barbie Dream Pool haunts my dreams! (In a good way 😆) I had it as a kid, though I don't remember it being that big compared to the girl in the pic. The shower was so cool, actually worked. I'm still on the hunt to re-acquire this. Someday it will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine. - Kada 😄

[@karenbecker7978]

Love your videos! I start out to watch a little of them and end up watching all of it! The 1970's is when I got my first Barbie. So...I think the first pool is my favorite. Of course there are several of the later made pools that are super looking as well. I love the ones that have palm tree with them. I think I am with you on the painted on clothes. I love to sew and buy new clothes from time to time. The painted on clothes.... not much fun. Really enjoy your comments and reactions to the dolls and their accessories. Love you go into detail with the topics your covering in your videos.

I received a beach Barbie doll in my dream last night as a gift and the logo was different, this morning my dad almost accidentally burned down the house when he left some eggs cooking completely unattended just so he could take a nap and then an hour ago I heard firetruck sirens while swimming in my pool.

OMG YOU JUST UNLOCKED A MEMORY. I used to have the plastic part of the 2002 paradise pool as a kid, without the pool itself. I always wondered what it was and eventually gave it away. I correctly assumed it was incomplete but I didn't even know it was from Barbie

Maybe just because it's my era, but 2002-3 are the best ones to me. Also, I kinda love that Lost Birthday one? I wish they'd make something in that style for Barbie rather than Chelsea, I guess Barbie is too grown up to have fun anymore

As a kid who both did and didn’t have a huge imagination, mom got me a barbie pool and I got frustrated that it was only deep enough for the barbie to sit down in. “You’re supposed to swim in a pool!!!” So I would just take her in the pool and the bathtub just like you. Good to know it’s not just me.

It would be amazing if the first Barbie doll had a pool playset to match her black and white swimming suit.

It also had some backyard garden features and other pool supplies. It was simple and spacious. It worked I miss thus pool, but I enjoyed discovering other pools in your video

I had so much fun with this pool

[@joshipuro]

one of those random memories that just stick with you for no special reason ive had was of playing with a barbie pool in the middle of my linoleum kitchen floor so water wouldnt soak carpet while mom cooked dinner, but i always thought it was just a generic type until you showed the 1989 wet'n wild and i gasped recognizing it and all the accessories esp that pink floatie chair. which is so funny bc 1) i was born in 1987 but my mom was a barbie collector so of course she was buying my own toys early and 2) i didnt really get sets due to their price even though i always eyed the big boxes in the stores longingly. i love barbie but i adored her cute tiny accessories/miniature items so much more.
