[@vampiresrfine]

I share your sentiments in being sad about Cave Club being gone😢I recently had to move abruptly and had no choice but to put all of my dolls in storage and could not bring them with me. I have really been missing these in particular. Fast forward to 4 months later and my niece sent me a surprise package. Low and behold when I opened it, core Roaralai, Blazin' BBQ playset Emberley and core Rockelle were staring back at me. I cried, it was a beautiful moment indeed and thought I'd share☺. I think overall Lumina, Bashley, Tella and Emberley are my faves❤I need to get the sleepover ones. So cute!!😍

[@raintowne-eo7lr]

Omggg!! How do you have all the same favorite characters as me?? XD

[@veronicanovak8646]

Cave club dolls aren’t for me as a collector but I love the idea of a fantasy dinosaur-centric doll line. I would have loved that as a child! It’s too bad it’s already going the way of the dinosaur (sorry mom joke). We don’t have enough creatively themed dolls and toys for children.

[@emsbanifufu2642]

I was truly sadden when they quit making Cave Club dolls. I loved how bright and colorful they were and that they had a very unique theme for a girl-aimed toy line. I think one of the main factors was that the dinosaur designs and color schemes made me think of my favorite toy line, Darlin' Dinos, that I used have when I was a kid.

[@marycallahan6394]

I adore Cave Club, and stalked Amazon till I found almost all of them. I love Pebbles and Bam Bam so these were right up my alley. I have the full collection now and wished they would come out with at least a few more. So glad you love them too, their bright colors and adorable little faces won me over from the start.

[@brookebirchall-xq7my]

I stinking Love Cave Club dolls! I just allowed myself to start collecting dolls during the pandemic and I fell in love with Cave Club! So Thank you so much for giving these dolls the credit they deserve ❤️

[@FillaneAmmisto]

It's kinda sad that they ended, the idea wasn't bad and there was potential to do something successful (here in Europe you get them for 4€ at TK-Maxx (yes with a k) at this point. I would like to see some major dollbrand actually try a doll line based on different eras or something. Right now they all kinda feel similar in some way. Edit: I know that the American girl line exists but as the name says its very restricted and not aviable in Europe (not to mention AG is very expensive already). It was interesting to hear childhood stories of not only my grandparents but also my great grandparents like my great grandmother who grew up as a Mongolian who was forced into the soviet union or my grandfather who was from a rich family during the time of the bolshevik uprising (probably wrote it wrong).

[@shiannbrown1518]

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up, just went and bought her!!!! I have all the cave clubs besides the tots and some of the mystery pets..but i have all the girls now so happy!

[@shannastech389]

I agree these are super cute. I got a few for my daughter and her buddies. They all love them. I wish more had come out. My friend's daughter mentioned the show a few years back. Then you mentioned the dolls and I found a few on amazon and got them. That was great. My daughter plays with them often. Wish I had seen them sooner. I think they came out at a bad time no one was going to stores as much. If they had only come out now or stuck around a bit longer i feel like they may have done better. Just my opinion.

[@DafSpi]

I went to the supermarket and I saw one of these dolls laying in the toy section. I honestly thought it was pretty weird to release a doll line with a prehistoric theme. It was an Emberly doll. I never took her home. I think it's interesting to see you talk about them right now. You changed my opinion on them. They're actually quite awesome!

[@cerisemin]

I never knew these dolls were articulated! 😅I wasn’t collecting dolls when they came out but I remember seeing them and thinking they were cute

[@cursive3807]

I love love LOVE cave club hahaha!! They have been showing up at my local Roses and Ollie's(lol). It's like in my top 5 dolls lines. Lumina is literally one of my favorite dolls I own 💜💜 love when you makes videos about them.

[@annewerner2211]

Cave club passed me by. I found one bashley doll in stores and bought her. But that's all I ever saw.... and they're so cute!!

[@darrellwallace4182]

I knew about Cave club when they first came out, but like alot of doll lines for me I see them, like them but I'm at the time collecting something else. I love these dolls and I must admit that you've helped appreciate them even more. Your genuine enthusiasm and excitement is contagious.....lol....but honestly, I would have eventually gotten in to them. They are wonderful dolls! As usual, great review!

[@millarex7796]

please could you make a video about your entire cave club dolls. i just completely fell in love with them.

[@amcleartayba]

I think that their Sleepover Line is my favorite line in Cave Club (all the accessories are really cute, their Pj’s are perfect for each character, and their hair styles -especially on Emberly- are really cute). I’m glad you managed to get the Partyceratops set, she was the last one I was missing and had to resort to importing her from Canada. The only ones I am missing are the third wave of Dino Crystals. Like you said, they never showed up in stores that had carried the first and second wave. They really were a cute line that little me would have adored (articulation, bright colors, dinosaurs -Tyrarex is still a highlight to my entire doll collection).

[@brazenchainsaw]

Can you please make a video showing your whole cave club collection? I’d love to see them all.

[@carolynkatsilas8559]

If just started to collect Cave Club dolls, I didn’t really know about them and I just saw them on Amazon, and thought I love those dolls. I’ve only got three though so far. Thank you for your video ❤

[@elinefrit]

I really love those too. I purchased a big lot of them second hand and they were almost perfect!

[@ever_thriftingcendirella481]

Hello Brooke! I follow you here on KZbin! I love your channel! You are such a super fun collector. I’m in my late 50s and have been collecting dolls since 2009. I did also purchsse the cave club dolls. I have several new in package. And several loose ones, I also ordered a lot yesterday on eBay to get lumina. Next there are the dinosaurs and a couple other dolls with the Afros that I want next. I also collect rainbow high dolls and will be going home to a Paris Hilton doll this evening. Thank you for doing videos on these more obscure doll lines. I love collecting obscure dolls too!

[@92jakg]

I agree with yu on Cave Club,, was so sad when I heard they weren't going to be making anymore.. really happy yu've finally completed yur collection,, I've still got to find Ruly as she never came out in the UK and cant find her online at all (I've been looking for about a year now) and the two dino sets but they're pretty cheap in the UK so ill pick them up when I see them for cheap hopefully..

[@Razzberry_dollz]

Cave club main issue with me was just that I wasn’t a fan of cave people. So the gimmick didn’t win me over . But I’ll give them huge credit sense I’m pretty sure the team is also who worked on gen 3 and they are doing amazing

[@strudel_reviews]

I literally bought Slate and Bashley from my local Ollie's and Tella, Frenessa, and Emberly from my local Rose's and I'm so happy I did

[@thebarbiediaries]

i think cave club stands out to me personally because I've never seen dinosaurs and such be marketed towards girls before, since traditionally dinos are a "boys interest." i can imagine girls becoming interested in dinosaurs because of this line which i think is sweet :)

[@Lemon_Lime_Lily]

These dolls are so cute!I want to try customizing one. I do remember a review where the author was a creationist ( anti evolution ) and said that you can’t prove humans and dinosaurs didn’t live together and linked a bunch of evangelical books lol.

[@havilandsgamerchannel8586]

There's a variant of the first Roralai with whiskers instead of the triangles, I got whiskers on mine, I got her off of Amazon Germany

[@DashonDaDon]

I loved this line so much! I have most of them it saddens me they are discontinued I wish they would of gotten a hour or playset of the cave club clubhouse :(

[@Taxideas]

I am so sad that Cave Club got discontinued so soon. I would have loved to see what else they would have done with the line.

[@yellowmoon4564]

NOOOOO so sad about it that they are cancelled. i looooooved this line!!

[@smileyfaces100]

Thank you for sharing the link! Ordered her 😊

[@Iheartreviewingstuff]

I wish I had the little dolls with little dinosaurs ❤️❤️❤️

[@prbambi9934]

I wasn’t able to find her for the longest time. I ordered her a couple days ago from Amazon and am waiting for her to arrive.

[@susanlawson1562]

I love cave club and have collected almost all of them. I haven't completed the sleepover line yet and don't have the triceratops (It's been on Amazon for $64 and I don't need it that much! lol) Did you get Rockelle's Dino Nursery? Love the details and all of the accessories with that set. It's so adorable and my favorite!❤

[@vixenexe-nv3td]

cave club was so good, I'm glad you could complete your collection! I'm still salty that despite the fact that cave club was mainly distributed for european countries... we really didn't get lumina and ruly or the dino rockin party ember and bashley or the easter rockelle. or we sorta did, but not as a normal available-in-most-stores-for-a-regular-price release. we did get tella with the big dinosaur, tons of sleepover roaralai, and uhhh... the tots riding the dinosaurs... yeah. I'm still on the lookout for those blind bag dinos secondhand because I just want the articulated dinosaurs, I would scream if I got the pet rock out of those blind bags lol. also, fun idea I got from someone's instagram - did you know that hairdorables heads fit perfectly on cave club bodies? I put my Sallee's head on Tella's body and it's a perfect match skinwise and shapewise. shoes may be a problem tho!

[@leo8812]

This line would’ve been my favorite as a kid! My two favorite things were dolls and dinosaurs 🤣 the triceratops is my favorite dinosaur! :)

[@luinias]

They are such lovely dolls, and it's sad they are out of production. I did, however, see some for like 18 at my local Dollarstore here in Sweden. :) Might go there and do a lil shopping after Xmas!

[@nolasdollsandaquatics9386]

Hi Dolls 👋 I think they are adorable ☺ I have quite a few

[@SunBunInk]

Love this doll line! Got into it a little too late but managed to get all the dolls still need to get some to keep it in the box but seems like my local winners/HomeSense keeps stalking them recently. Need to replace my Ruly doll as she gas a bad knee. I have all the dolls yay but as I said I’d like to get some to keep in the box lol. Probably not this year but I have a bunch of extras I bought off eBay and I’m going to customize them all into a little Christmas elves to put around my living room lol can’t wait to start that craft in the future

[@timfox8688]

I love Cave club! I have all the adult characters! I literally started collecting them for their cat outfits, in case Catra from the Princesses of Power wanted a different look, but I ended up loving them and collected the whole lot of them. I'm just missing the 4 babies, other than that I have all the characters who are human. Thanks for the video. The boy and the purple haired rocker is on sale at Ollie's for like $5. They had a ton last time I went. Don't lnow if you have a Ollie's in your area.

[@katestoybox6766]

So sad I missed out on the area of Cave Club. They look so cute!

[@MaxineAndrew]

I need Ruly! 🤓 I also need that video about polypropelene longevity! 😮

[@YamapiMiyu]

Me encanta esta coleccion muchisimo! En realidad le encanta incluso a mi marido. Toda la idea, colores, ropas, mascotas, peinados, cuerpos, articulaciones... 💖 no logro entender porque no han gustado, me parece realmente una coleccion muy por encima de muchas otras que hay en el mercado y con precios bastante competitivos. Me habria encantado poder ver que mas sacaban de esta coleccion, que lastima! 😢

[@Apoitiers90]

I bought them when they were cheap (I think partially because you were so excited about them) and I wanted to make them into Pokemon customs. Haven't done it yet but they look cute as they are anyway. The hair was a letdown though, as you mentioned in the video, it isn't perfect for hair play. I also thought they were going to be smaller than they are, not sure why.

[@SH-yp3jg]

Cave club dolls are so adorable. I love them❤ It's hard to collect them all especially because I live in Asia. It's heartbreaking that it's discontinued. Btw congratulations on completing the collection!

[@angellozamh]

I love the t-Rex so much 😭😭

[@dizzyty]

I actually started watching you because of a Cave club review 😢 I only have 3 but 2 are customs from NoFrillyBits and 1 is a in box Ruly. ❤

[@NickRowler]

I thought the base doll for Cave Club were cute, however I didn't really like the theming or the hair quality. I ended up rerooting the two I have. I can see these dolls becoming popular with customizers.

[@tooelenative9098]

I really like the Cave Club dolls. I collected them. I would have continued. I have about 10 of them.

[@chyname]

You're very welcome.

[@jessicam6276]

I had no idea they had polypropylene hair. I have original Fernessa, Roaralei and Emberly and I thought maybe Fernessa had it (because her hair honestly feels awful and unmanageable) but had no idea about the others. Roaralei's hair in particular felt really soft and nice

[@cottencandy2537]

Its like 12:08 at night fore and I have a whole powered point due tomorrow so this will be a great video to keep me company .

[@sabreenasnow119]

I'll miss them

[@Sophie_idk_lol]

I always thought it was so sad that every mane character got at least 2 dolls but Slate only had one 😭

[@maimishou]

I only have the default Emberly and Rockelle but the dolls are definitely cute. Emberly is my favorite and I want her Dino Rockin’ Party doll but I find it hard to justify spending $20 for it when I got my default dolls in store for less than half of that. I might cave in and get her eventually though since her pricing never seems to go down. Maybe a few others as well. And as a heads up for anyone else the Tella and Partyceratops doll is on Amazon. It’s around $65 though, same as the Rochelle and Tyrasaurus set. It’s a shame both this and Hairdorables are both fading out. These two lines were the first doll lines I ever started buying.

[@gingerlauraine7112]

I am so jealous of your pinkie Cooper because I so want the ginger one. It's my namesake. Lol

[@aprilleigh380]

I only have 2, Roralei and Tella - because I wanted their pets the most. They really are adorable. I think Enchantimals is just generally more geared towards a girl audience over prehistoric themed stuff. Although boys definitely buy and collect dolls, I still don't think it's as common, especially for young kids, who is the targeted audience. If not for watching your videos I'd have missed out on these adorable dolls for sure.

[@c.w.2000]

I guess I was lucky with these in that I live in Canada and got all the ones I have on sale. I think Ruly and Lumina might be my favourites, but I never got them because they never went on sale. I also sold my two sleepover dolls when thinning out to make space. I'm glad I have some Cave Club, but the new Monster High dolls are the step-up in quality that I prefer in a doll line I collect. However, they cost 3 times more than what I paid for my Cave Club dolls, so I'm not collecting many of them either.

[@milktealatte9891]

This is so heart breaking 😢

[@prbambi9934]

I love Ruly - one of the favs in my cave club collection. I wish I had lumina. I had her in my Amazon cart at one time but didn’t get her and now I can’t find her for a reasonable price.

[@victimred2861]

I really need Ruly and the Dino rocking party dolls .None are available in the UK

[@yellowmoon4564]

I LOVE STEVE URKLE RULEY doll

[@SterlingCalm]

The cave club dolls are fully articulated including the knee joints.

[@kamenriderfurry9410]

I thought this line was cute but I dont have the budget to go full in on yet another doll line sadly. I did grab the boy (Slate i think was his name?) because he was adorable and if Im gonna have just one doll from a line it will be the boy LOL

[@unddzmbistr]

Cave club was the closest thing to monster high like in quality and design😅imo ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹I love cave club tooo😭

[@briarbeautea543]

I wasn't a fan of cave club, but its weird Mattel canceled them when they were just picking up steam.

[@raintowne-eo7lr]

I honestly don't mind the hair because it's not hair type for me it is the hair style as long as it looks interesting but it's a simple style that lasts long through play I could care less because my main thing is I hate taking down my dolls hair because I don't know how to style them so they always just end up I'm braids in a desperate attempt to not ruin the hair even more XD also yes omg lumina us so hard to find and ive never even seen the one with glasses

[@anabarber4337]

Amazon must have been digging up old stock because Ruly also went up for a bit. She was the last character I needed (I have one of each of the core dolls + Tyrasaurus). She hasn’t arrived yet but fingers crossed all goes well! Related: did anyone ever find the rock character in the blind bag eggs? They are at my roses and Ollie’s so I’ve opened quite a few and have all series one except for the rock. The concept just tickles me so I’m sad I can’t find him.

[@dollhousedreams]

So sad cave club is no more love those dolls

[@swanamaidenpsyche]

I'm on the hunt for Ruly XD

[@VeronicaStorm98]

I only have Tella and Emberly from the first line. Lumina is another doll I would like to own from the line some day as well. Cave Club was very cute for what it was, and I find it annoying how many more extreme Mattel stans have to unfairly compare every single playline doll line Mattel makes to MH. I love Monster High, but not every Mattel doll line has to be Monster High, and they should be allowed to have individual identities rather than just being considered another line that is inferior to Monster High.

[@thisbeem2714]

I loved them until I bought one and her hair was awful. I pretty much always want to mess with my dolls' hair and when I can't I lose interest. I bought Fernessa and her hair completely drizzled up when I combed it. I gave her away. But they are super cute dolls.

[@LUVBOTZ]

My local Ollie's had tons of Bashley and Slate dolls for months. I bought a couple right before Black Friday. I went back today and nothing! I'm thinking they moved the inventory to another store or something. There's no way they could have sold all of them, despite the cheap price. They had loads of them on display and more back in the actual toy aisle.

[@strudel_reviews]

I wound up getting Slate and Bashley from Ollie's and I found Tella, Frenessa, and Emberly at Rose's

[@anabarber4337]

Same it’s odd how they send different dolls to different places
