What’s Inside the Mini Bratz & Barbie Color Reveal Advent Calendars | Plus Budget Holiday Barbie

[@glennpatrick8908]

The packaging being considered a surprise is really shocking. Especially for the price.

[@missykim510]

Great review! I would be super bummed if I got the Bratz calendar. Packaging is not a "prize", imo. And I'm not a fan of impossibly tiny makeup either. The Barbie calendar was WAY better! Though, a little glitter on those accessories wouldn't have killed them.

[@misscatiecat1965]

I am livid about the Bratz and I don't even collect them lol. I can't imagine the disappointment a kid would feel if they were opening that one day at a time. Especially a kid who already had a collection and was also getting doubles. That's so trash.

[@rayniebee]

Yes! It's bad enough for adult collectors, but if I were a parent, I'd be so upset on my kid's behalf if I gave them this. Imagine being a kid and being so excited to see today's surprise, and it's a big door, so you're expecting something especially fun and... it's packaging. That's breaking my heart just thinking about it. It's thoughtless at best and mean-spirited at worst. Yikes!

[@misscatiecat1965]

@@rayniebee exactly yes! I don't have kids, but I live in the apartment below my sister and neice...and last year I got my niece a FNAF advent calendar ...she actually waited and opened it one day at a time (something I'd never have been able to do as a kid , I was too excited about presents. I still am lol), so there are definitely kids out there who wait and do that (she was 9 at the time).

[@Abbeyzs]

Bratz must’ve been doing drugs when they let their packaging team release that calendar, I have no idea how you kept so calm foggy- when I saw that makeup pallet as the finale I would’ve thrown it on camera

[@delicatz9907]

Barbie definitely wins my choice for the advent calendar. Cheaper and better value. The accessories and some of the outfit pieces are pretty cute. I won’t be buying personally as I’m not a fan of the doll that’s included, but it’s not a bad advent calendar, I would’ve enjoyed it as a kid for sure

[@clinicalia]

You handled the Bratz advent calendar very well. Like as horrible as it is that these surprise toys are basically just gambling aimed at little kids, as an adult you willingly take the risk. But that calendar was ridiculously overpriced and while yes, it TECHNICALLY didn't give you any doubles, making someone pay $60 for poorly painted plastic and empty packaging is just disgustingly greedy. Whoever thought that up and approved it for sale should be ashamed of themselves.

[@meggiemusic9]

The brunette holiday barbie should make it onto the shelf. Her face is just that pretty!!!

[@RoyaleAG77]

Wow, the Bratz one is a rip-off. Imagine getting a doll box as your advent surprise lol. I saw a holiday barbie at my local Walmart the other day! It was the 2022 collecter's edition, (I think that's the name) and she cost $36.99. The one I found was the somewhat Hispanic looking one with dark brown hair. She had a red dress with poinsettia appliques, red painted nails, and red shoes. I own the 2014/15 holiday barbie and the dress looked a bit similar to that. I considered buying her, but decided to hold off for now. I love the holiday dolls, but I really hate how the dress is often glued to them. My mom has one from the 80's and that one has everything removable. I don't get why the newer ones are glued. If it was a safety hazard I would think the shoes would be glued, but nope. Great vid Toya!

Last year's was great so I've been stalking Mattel and Amazon to see what this year's is. [EDIT: Found it. The packaging wasn't distinct enough for me to tell it wasn't last year's calendar. Looks like this is all we have this year 😭 I'll probably get last year's Fairytopia calendar.] This video is the first I'm hearing about it at all!!

Hope everyone considering the Bratz advent calendar watches this! It might do for an adult collector just starting that collection - but anyone else is going to be seriously disappointed, and I can imagine the tears on the days when the surprise is an empty box! That really is disgraceful. The Barbie one looks great though - really nice collection of stuff. I agree about the making the jewellery look like metallic gold and silver - after all, it's supposed to be a Christmas collection! But much better value for money than the Bratz one, which is, frankly, a damn rip-off.
