I think they reflect the theme of going home well and the outfits look pretty period accurate. It’s much more of an ‘everyday look’ kinda line. They feel like beginner dolls for new Poppy Parker fans to collect rather than for seasoned Poppy collectors. The way they talked there’s more Poppy’s coming for the anniversary specifically so to me this just feels like a simple start to the celebration by mirroring the softer vibe of early Poppy dolls.

Okay honestly I can see that! The idea of them being a line for new Poppy collectors is really nice actually. With them deciding to have a simple start to the anniversary for Poppy I’m definitely interested in seeing what other dolls will be released this year.

Just remember, Poppy is a teen model in the 1960's (not a 2000's kindergarten teacher)...as someone who lived through this era, this collection reflects the popular colors and fashion styles of that era....you don't have to love the dolls, but at least research the time period being represented...

I’m aware she’s a model and often represents fashions from the 50s through the 70s. Also while I am no expert nor was I alive during those periods, I am briefly aware of the fashions. That being said I still stand behind my opinion, because what I said can also be true. I did grow up in the late 90s into the 2000s and I did see teachers dress nearly identical to that doll. I’m unsure whether it was a fascination with 70s fashion by teachers I saw or a passing trend, but either way the teachers around me at that time dressed in an identical manner to the doll and therefore it reflects that for me. It’s simply a different opinion and perspective.

I have to tell you, I honestly joined the W Club for Poppy Parker, she’s such a beautiful doll. I love Poppy, she’s my favorite character from IT, But I have to agree with you, this collection was a miss for me too. Blue skies was my favorite fashion wise, but something about the hair-makeup combo felt off to me too. Doll-wise it’s my party is my favorite, but the clothes were not my faves. I also wish they weren’t dealers dolls or lottery dolls because it just makes it that much harder to get them. Love your videos and always listening to your opinions.

Thanks so much 😊 While Poppy isn’t my favorite line, I never expect Poppy to come off as “plain” or “basic” but that’s exactly how this line read to me. I’m very interested to see what direction they will go in for the rest of this year with the Poppy releases considering this is her anniversary year. And I agree, dealer dolls and lottery dolls can be very difficult to secure. I’ve been lucky with some of the dolls I’ve pursued from dealers and lotteries but it’s still not my favorite way of purchasing them.

Same this collection was a big miss for me, as well. I’m not a big Poppy collector but the only ones I liked are Lazy Daze and Snoozaroo’s base dolls but the fashions just aren’t for me…which is a relief for my wallet.

My wallet definitely took a sigh of relief after this collection as well 😂

Although I am very familiar with this era and the dolls are pretty along with the outfits, they all were a pass for me. I am more 70-80-2000 year doll collector. 70's was ok in some fashions and I like modern. The 80's had some cute fashions, and so did the 90s. Even though I like older fashion, but I am more in the present for style and fashion. If I were looking for this era, then yeah, but I wasn't. I also don't like too much of the black and white geometric patterns. They make me kind of dizzy. Lol. I love capes, slacks, jeans, coats, tops, and more casual style. The p.j. outfit is cute, but give me an additional outfit I can use for styling. I like the sweater and the pink blue top dress but I am not looking for the past so I passed on all. Great review, Greg. I like to see others take on dolls. Also, I have island Poppy and the Paris one on order, so I do like Poppy, but please give me some dolls I don't have. I am in my 2nd year of Integrity, but I purchase more on eBay for the clothes and dolls I don't have. Thank you for your video.

I wouldn’t say 70s is one of my favorite eras but I do like it. But I love glamor in every era 😂 When it comes to a casual collection such as this it has to really really knock me off of my feet or sometimes if it’s modern casual I’ll be a fan of it.

Completely agree Greg I don’t like any of them ! There’s so many other characters that could’ve been bought to light , Natalia , Erin, Eugina , Agnes 🥺really not impressed with IT run ups this year , nothing has made me go wow 🥺but wonderful review matey ❤️❤️

Thanks so much 😁 Yeah Poppy Parker isn’t for everyone. Hopefully we get a NuFace or Fashion Royalty release soon because I’d love to see some of those characters you mentioned as well!

I love this collection. Love the color choices for the fashions amd the dolls themselves . My fav was Snoozaroo. I think this collection is more for retro collectors and people who are familiar with these era s whether through living it or watching old movies. I prefer this collection to the previous black and white mod Poppy collection which I thought boring due to the lack of color.😊
@Gregs_corner5 ай бұрын
I’m so glad you love it! 😁 Based off comments and some of the responses I’ve seen on social media I think you’re absolutely right. It seems like a lot of long time collectors of Poppy are pretty happy with the release. As I said in the video I really do think the variety in tastes is what makes this community so interesting and fun 😄

Snoozeroo really just says it all for this collection. It's funny though I think my opinions on the dolls are the reverse of yours. I find the 'kindergarten teacher' the most interesting of the bunch. Also to be honest I'm not 100%, but I think she's supposed to be wearing capris, which would make more sense than almost neon blue jeans, haha. Anyway, I'm not interesting in getting any from this collection, but if I did, it would be her. I find her at least a bit interesting, while the rest put me to sleep. I do like the bag from Lazy Days, but that's about it.
@Gregs_corner5 ай бұрын
This whole collection seems very polarizing! I think it’s so interesting. Seems as though everyone feels differently about the collection. And you’re totally right, capris make a lot more sense 😅

To many Poppy releases!! These dolls are also too basic for the price point. Easy pass on all of these dolls. Like you said very underwhelming.

It seems like Poppy always gets quite a few releases within a club year. I guess that her award for being a fan favorite haha. But yeah, this collection just wasn’t for me and apparently a lot of other collectors felt a similar way.
