Great video! By the way, on the topic of Asian representing male dolls… I felt the same way and wasn’t happy with what Barbie had to offer either. But I did discover other great Asian dolls by Mattel - the BTS dolls. I’m in no way knowledgeable about BTS or really interested in them, but the dolls are beautiful. (It's sort of like the Twilight dolls.) They’re fully articulated, detailed, well-made and very edgy and modern (kind of like the Looks dolls). I keep finding them for ridiculously cheap. I just got 5 for 5 bucks, fully dressed. So they’re not as hard to come by as the Looks or other sought after dolls. They’re sort of still a hidden gem and fit in really nicely with some of these newer, more realistic looking dolls.

Ohhh! I don’t know much about BTS either and I’ve seen the dolls without giving them a second thought. Are they 10-11” size? What a great tip, I’ll definitely check them out! 💗🙏

Thank you for sharing your beautiful Looks collection. I love all the Looks dolls but only started collecting them this year. I struggled to get all the first-wave dolls - but finally Victoria arrived last week, and Lina and the blonde Ken with the facial hair have apparently just cleared customs (I live in Australia). They will almost complete my collection of all the Looks dolls. I am just waiting to get the tall brown-haired Ken with red facial hair from Wave 3 (or is it 2 🙃) - he is a bit elusive over here in Australia (maybe it is our strong sunshine 😄). I now have all of the other Waves - even a couple of doubles 🙃 - but he is eluding me (well eluding me at an affordable price anyway). Hopefully, soon he can join his friends and complete my collection 🥰

Those outfits are gorgeous on your dolls. Where did you purchase/acquire them? Especially the vintage looks. Are they truly vintage? So gorgeous! I adore all the diversity in the LOOKS line. I grew up playing with Barbies in the 70's and early 80s, and, as much as I loved my blonde/blue-eyed Barbies, the choices were so limited then. I started re-collecting Barbies a year ago when I decided to thrift one for my not-yet-born first grandbaby. My mother, who made most of my Barbie clothes as a child, had just passed away, and I wanted to keep my grieving self busy with a project that would honor her, but also be a gift I could share with my own daughter and granddaughter -- a way to connect us all. So I made a bunch of Barbie clothes for my grandbaby's Barbie. Then I decided to buy a few more dolls so Barbie would have friends and my grandbaby would have more to play with. When I started to shop I was blown away by the variety and quality of Barbie dolls available now! That's when I discovered made-to-move yoga Barbies, Barbie LOOKs dolls and Fashionistas dolls. I found a doll that resembled my daughter and one that resembled her husband, so my granddaughter would have a pair that looked like her parents. But I couldn't stop there. So many dolls resonated with me, and I bought another and another and another, opting for as much diversity as possible, in all ethnicities, skin tones and body types. I even bought a variety of Skipper and friends, Stacie and friends, Chelsie and friends, and even baby Barbies. The few dolls I was going to get for my grandbaby has become an ever-growing collection of dolls for the baby and also for me. LOL It's amazing how quickly it became an obsession. Fast forward to today and my grandbaby, Maya, is nearly a year old and starting to walk. It will be a few years before she can play with the dolls, but I am taking good care of them and enjoying them until she can. The Barbie LOOKs dolls I have are: Wave 1 - none Wave 2 - #12 Freyda (curvy Latina with brunette side ponytail) Wave 3- #13 VIctoria, #15 Karl (petite, Latina, long brunette hair with highlights), #16 Andra, #17 Brandon (Asian ken with flocked hair, purple tank and pink slacks. By the way, he is on sale for $19.22 right now on Amazon.), #18 Tate (buff Ken, brunette with color block orange and yellow t-shirt and blue shorts) Wave 4 - #25 Ken (not sure face mold but he is a gorgrous black, buff doll with curly hair)

Hi Kada! Yes! The LOOKS line is what drew me back into Barbie collecting. I bought #11 from Wave 2 and #13 from Wave 3. They were my first two dolls in my new era of collecting. Now I have #20 from Wave 4. They’re all the redheads. I only collect Barbies with red hair. Naturally, I have preordered the 2024 Holiday doll with red hair. I can’t wait to have her and put her on a made to move body. Did you get her? As always, I enjoy your videos and looking at your collection! You have a great selection of the LOOKS line. ☺️
