OMG Tween Emma Emo Doll vs. Barbie Extra Mini Doll - So Much COLOR!

[@Theravingranter]

As someone who went through the emo phase I was also confused by Emma. She looks scene not emo. They should have given her a black hoodie with a made up band on it and combat boots.

[@DefyReality-ll2cg]

This!

[@laylas9874]

emma emo is adorable! i think her look is definitely very scene queen, which falls under the emo umbrella but you’re right that the traditional emo look is typically dark colors :)

[@visiogenics]

I wish they went for the classic scene hair !! it would of been so cool!! yk the massive side bang and teased up hair, i don’t think i’ve seen a doll with scene hair before ncbdshbdhsshsh

[@Baldibasicshot]

​@@visiogenicsthey probably didn't do that because the hair would get very messy in box and they'd have to use an excessive amount of hairspray or glue, it would be cool to see her with scene hair though :)

[@ryo_iix5630]

Emma is actually more scene inspired which is a sub culture of emo, which scene incorporates a lot more bright neon colors into their style.

[@TheAmberCakes]

Emma Emo is definitely not what I would call emo. She should be called Sarah Scene.

[@LeeDee5]

9 times out of 10 i'd go for the Tweens but I have to say they've done so much better with the second series of the Barbie Minis than the first series. They are more cohesive and funner to look at.

[@Iheartreviewingstuff]

I def agree 💯

[@jeanieschmidt3781]

"Guys" in this context is gender exclusive. Also, "Dude" can apply to males, females, and inanimate objects.

[@scollaceyuri]

i've never seen a scene queen doll before. as someone into that fashion im excited that this aesthetic is getting representation

[@julaya5655]

As an 80's child and teen myself, you summed up the mentality so well! You graduated my sophomore year! I love both dolls too! They are now on my list. I'm impatiently waiting for Roller Chick to come in. Go 80's!

[@Glistery]

Emma Emo, to me, seems more Harajuku or raver girl. She's still cute but Emos wore more black or dark colors for sure haha. Also these are the two I was eyeing, so Thanks for sharing 💕

[@Blake1720]

She looks scene to me.

[@klafairy04]

yah, shes a scene girl. so calling her emma emo is very off 🤦‍♀️

[@Iheartreviewingstuff]

Yes I don’t consider Emma to be Emo at all 😂🤦🏻‍♀️🖤

[@magdlynstrouble2036]

Yup, Emma is scene or Harajuku/decora! I adore her and shes arriving Tuesday! I'm older than you and I understand the 1980s neon nostalgia though.

[@lizzy6555]

Love you too! 💖 Cannot believe that you are 54. You look so much younger! 🤗 Thank you for another wonderful video! By the way: in 1985 I was 6 years old! And yes: i wore lots of neon! 🥰

[@brittbrat6593]

hi i just found ur channel! and watching you makes me feel so happy i thought i was a bit too "old" to collect dolls and play with them...but you help me embrace what i like .. thank you very much! xoxo

[@erinfaulkner1574]

I feel like this is the only one where I'd say Barbie wins. That's a really cute Extra Mini!

[@turtleashlee1990]

The striped hair extension makes total sense for a scene kid.

[@anacalderon2141]

In general I`m with Barbie extra mini team. I love their facial appearance (screening). This is a real golden sunshine cutie. The tween purse is so TOKIDOKI.....haha. ok I would listen right now to Boy George, Culture Club.

[@riinamiin]

she’s not emo she’s scene, mga just named her weirdly

[@galaxyskeleton]

I thought that too when I saw her.

[@jones4106]

Emma "Emo" comes across as more Scene to me personally than emo, as someone who was a teen during the late 2000s early 2010s when Emo and Scene were big.

[@Cerebralpalsyk]

I love the little mini extra dolls. So cute

[@PonySparkleToys]

Emma Emo looks awesome. All of the bright colours are wonderful. Both the dolls remind me of the 1980’s.

[@Iheartreviewingstuff]

Same 👍

[@Drewski217]

Yeah, Emma is definitely more 'scene' aligned then emo? She should have been named Serena Scene or Sabrina Scene, just something with an S name instead lol

[@vaughn_erich]

the mid 2000s to early 2010s were for sure influenced by the 80s (I graduated high school in 2010). I recall more goth/emo in the earlier part of the period, then adding more 80s influence gave us "scene" in the later portion. *Edit: However I think Gen Z even has their own modern take on the emo/scene look via "e-girl" & "e-boy" style.

[@magdlynstrouble2036]

This look is currently popular in Japan as "decora," although she'd need about 15 more hair clips. Lol

[@kyoyameganebereznoff]

The rainbow hair was very much a part of scene/emo fashion when I was a kid, but the rainbow clothes, not so much. Folks would have been wearing black. Maybe the doll has some elements of the eGirl trend? Either way, she’s very cute.

[@cicadathegod8277]

She looks more like a scene queen than emo but she’s cute

[@tmac3057]

I also love both of these. They are next on my list.

[@magdlynstrouble2036]

I find it odd that so many reviewers don't understand the yellow bow hair clip with the striped hair addition. If you just clip it in her hair as shown on the box art, the striped hair hangs down next to her ponytail perfectly.

[@aspennie]

Honestly I’m just glad no dolls have been called goth to my knowledge yet, just since goth is a music genre more than fashion. But then again, so is emo… emo is a type of hardcore punk.

[@KarlaDollz]

She's a Scene kid from 2008 haha the emo is just emo as you said black colors with bangs covering the face 🤣

[@Iheartreviewingstuff]

I love Emma my daughter & I always loved art club tots especially splatters not sure why they called her Emo 🖤 cause she’s def not 😂🤦🏻‍♀️. I love the tie dye Barbie mini extra she’s my fav of the 4 in wave 2 then the purple hair 1. I do wish she had real studs instead of printed on her belt for Emma. But I love the socks, sleeves, and socks she’d be cute with Lexi Gurl who was also very mix & matched 👍👍👍

[@michaelmcgee8543]

Great dolls!

[@Misslou2425]

Emma gives me Punky Brewster vibes...and l love her ❤️❤️❤️

[@LePetitChatNoir79]

I’m at the tail end of Gen X. Love seeing other peeps my age collecting dolls too. 💖

[@nolasdollsandaquatics9386]

Want both of them 😃 !!

[@ladybellaphram5895]

Emma Emo was my first Tween doll (also my first lol/omg), and I love her so much! She’s such a great size to just hold lol. I bought Aya Cherry for my friend during the same trip and she loves her too. I just had to get the rainbow vomit scene girl, I love her so much. The hair extension and the clips all go in her bangs! Well, the hair extension bow goes a little behind her bangs so it can sort of blend into them. I was super confused too lol, I had to stare at her artwork for a good while to find it. Now she listens to The Cure with me while I do work

[@kariann430]

i know as an "old school" emo person it was black and gray and a bit of white, with a lot of black eyeline but now the bright colors are in there i am what, they look like like my 80's childhood. Also the guys thing is a very 80's and 90's things i have gone to peeps but that may be a cailfornia thing. and yes the barbie looks like ginger spice! Love you

[@Angryoyster]

Idk man I feel like at this point “guys” is a gender neutral term. I guess “man” is too lol cuz I say “idk man” to guys gals and non binary pals. Tbh at this point I use “man, girl, queen, guys, bro and, dude” for any gender.

[@ashebrightsidhe2142]

I graduated in 1995. We didn't really have emo style. It was Goth. Emma is definitely a scene kid

[@aliceis9068]

emma emo is a scene queen x3

[@finleyandfriends8332]

I like the Barbie better 😌 😏

[@valkyriedarquese]

Emma is so cute, she's my favourite tween in this series. such fun colours! I thought Marilyn would be my fave but she's too bland /could have been better

[@Bre2life]

We luv youuuuuuu

[@indigo_villin]

Emma is clearly Scene based, and apparently Scene is a sub culture of Emo, so that would be what's happening.

[@nallukka2002]

the "emma emo" is nowhere near emo. she's more of scene. and it bothers me that she's called emo...

[@LeeDee5]

It bothers me too. The only way I can console myself over that name is that the team working on these are probably a bunch of "hello there fellow kids!" people that were too old for the peak of the scene phase.

[@nallukka2002]

@@LeeDee5 that’s a good idea. I’ll try it 😂👍🏼

[@Iheartreviewingstuff]

😂

[@fiendmode]

Emma Emo looks more like they were going for a scene look but they still totally missed the mark on that one imo…

[@Iheartreviewingstuff]

Yes 💯🖤

[@salecitam]

You look so much younger!!!

[@celestialite9566]

omg i was just looking for a video about emma emo and then my favorite youtuber posts one lol!!!

[@celestialite9566]

and i agree i wouldn't call her emo, her style is called "scene" actually! kinda like an offshoot of emo

[@Kiarachu]

Thanks goodness that I'm not the only one confused with the "Emo" thing. From what I remember from my childhood "emo" people usually wore dark attires. She is very cute, though. BTW, did you know that Ligabue did a cover of the song "It's the end of the world as we know it" called "A che ora è la fine del mondo?" (it translate into "What time is the end of the world?")

[@LittlemisstoxicTfc]

I like bothi might have to get them

[@royalhomesdedeur6697]

YESSS ❤️

[@kadezzzzz]

LOVING IT SO FAR 😍❤️

[@mickeyjo10va37]

I used to have a habit of saying “guys” a lot as well. Try substituting just the word “all”! It sounds a little business-y but it still gets the point across!

[@KarlaDollz]

I love your videos and stories. I love telling stories myself and I'm only 23 🤣 cant imagine when i grow older I might have to do a youtube channel so I i can rant. Im a LOL OMG mega fan but I saw the Barbie Minis at $10 on Marshall's and I just had to get them they're so cuteeee!! I have them on my desk at my job 😭❤️

[@rebeccaharmer4977]

I love those 2 dolls

[@kaitlynkirkland7774]

I’ve never seen a emo wearing neon

[@sleepy_person4]

I think emo has gotten a bit more colourful but not that bright and colourful and goth is more dark and like black. Grunge goth emo and similar styles are all called alt subculture I think, don't quote me I'm kinda new to the alt style and I am only 14 but have dyed my hair 12 times.

[@nj.horrorhaven]

Emma is 100% not emo, she's scene 😅 They should have named her Sandra Scenekid or something. I was an emo kid back in 2006ish, then morphed into a scene kid by about 2009. There's definitely a big difference and Emma would need like 90% more dark colours to be emo.

[@Cerebralpalsyk]

You look very young Melissa. I have a graduated in 2003

[@yemeneve9495]

بما ان لديك مجموعة متنوعة من الدمى اتمنى ان تقومي بعرض امكانية مناسبة ازياء احد انواع الدمى لنوع اخر مختلف ، مثلا ازياء قوس المطر هل تناسب جسد دمية OMG ، كذلك امكانية استبدال اطراف دمى بنوع اخر ، حيث ان هنالك انواع تتوفر منها اطراف اضافية باوضاع مختلفة

[@xXANABEL_ANGELXx]

emma emo is a scene kiddd

[@louisebrown3121]

Duran Duran was my favorite group. I graduated in 1984. I'm from the South but I say guys ( meaning everyone ).

[@kellieweaver9569]

They should of called her Stacy scene not Emma emo 🤣🤣

[@ellissykes7133]

Ah no i hope i didn't confuse you with my comment! chloe pepper the lol omg tween was the ginger spice influence!

[@abenas]

Emma is definitely scene and not emo! Not sure why they called her emo instead of giving her an s name and calling her scene

[@MarsNeptune-pi9nw]

I rather have the tweens

[@thefragranceapothecary7281]

Apparently MGA doesn’t know what EMO means.

[@Tiara_Princess7]

Emma Emo is Scene and not emo. My sister was and still is Emo and she has dyed black hair and dark eye makeup with a black band shirt and black band hoodie and black pants and black converse.

[@rexxy5]

I like the comparison videos you have been doing and I agree both dolls are really nice and perfect for the summer, although I lean slightly more towards the Barbie mini one but mostly because I'm not a fan of the lol tween faces. Also don't worry bout correcting yourself I'm from the UK we use the term guys too, regardless of what gender we are talking to. Noones taken offence to it so don't worry we know what you mean.

[@jackceli1684]

What places do you donate your dolls to? I feel like if they're not in box as many places don't want them? I've tried shelters for women and even hospitals. Help!

[@SevastopolRus_Z]

Emma emo is a gyaru gal

[@magdlynstrouble2036]

Actually, gyaru is a Japanese play on a tan blonde look. Emma is decora/kidcore/scene/raver.

[@SevastopolRus_Z]

@@magdlynstrouble2036 research better

[@bethschreiber6107]

I think she looks a bit Lolita or Harajuku. But I think that those both could fall under the emo thing now. And yay for gen x!

[@laurasanchez4009]

I was born in 1985 but in August

[@rebeccaharmer4977]

Did you get the twinkle girl

[@boredrat2573]

Definitely scene not emo

[@skysempiternal]

she is 100% scene not emo (sorce: i was a scene kid)

[@GravyGoodbread]

Why do u look younger than when you went by “mommy”?

[@bernardocomassetto]

There are places where “scene” is called emo so I don’t get why people are so offended by her name
