Kids want to be able to change the dolls clothes, they can't really do much with a doll that already has an outfit painted on. I hate that these companies use the excuse that kids don't care; that's not true, and insulting to children's intelligence. Children can tell what toys are higher quality and more fun. I'm betting if given the choice between one of these, and a vintage Barbie with removable clothes, and long hair...most kids would choose the old Barbie.

I agree. When I was a kid the whole appeal of Barbie was the fashions and being able to change the outfits as much as I wanted. Can’t imagine kids these days are any different.

[@natd2330]

All I wanted to do with Barbie as a child was change the outfits and play with the hair. And I used to hate how they couldn't bend like my brother's G.I. Joes. Kids these days aren't so different. I think it's just cheaper to paint the clothes on than make them from fabric.

Thank you for being HONEST in this video. Not like the KZbinr you mentioned that "apologised" to mattel only to receive their products for free again.

[@SlMONSAYS]

SOOOOOO TRUE the apology was for ONE REASON and ONE REASON only, a sad, FAR TOO LATE attempt to get back on Mattels PR list. She has gone to great lengths to criticize them every step of the way for approximately 2 years now and I think it finally hit her that this has completely burned the bridge (or any future bridges) with them. Her sense of entitlement is also ridiculous - on more than one occasion she's stated, "can you believe there are some doll companies who don't send me dolls for free"? That alone caused resentment since she had to purchase them. I have officially stopped watching that channel - its a thrown together bumbling mess that little to no thought has gone into and it has only gotten progressively worse. The level of fakeness is off the charts.

@@SlMONSAYS Amen!!!! It is really sad because I really enjoy most of her contents. But when it comes to getting stuff for free...oh Lord! Some weeks ago this KZbinr complained (like a spoiled kid) tha MGA didn't send her the OMG Winter Chill dolls while other KZbinrs got them. So childish!

[@SlMONSAYS]

@@93Nippon I remember that. When she started acting offended that she had to actually purchase things, I realized how the reviews on that channel operated. There was a very distinct difference in her attitude and opinion towards what she received for free versus what she didn't.

Honestly I was so disappointed with My World and that video she made excusing them for lack of quality due to diversity. There is no excuse for being cheap it has nothing to do with focusing on diversity but in saving Mattel money in production.

[@WorldHiThere]

exactly i can't imagine it costs that much for different skin tones, head sculpts, also an i wrong in saying that barbie really isn't that diverse, like yes there are darker skin tones but still not many asian, lation, differnt eye and hair colours (don't get me started on how hard it is to find green eyes) and not just racial diversity but like, disabilities, androgynous styles ect.

@@SlMONSAYS Say what you will about her thoughts on her apology video, but to say she's faking things to get on Mettal's good side is just speculation on your end. Time and time again, she has said that she really doesn't care to be on any PR list because she will still buy dolls she likes regardless. Her "complaining" was nothing more than playful tantrums. What I got more from her video was an attempt to be less negative for being so critical after so long. It gets tiring to be like that towards something you love, and she genuinely loves the Barbie brand. Maybe being a peppy person who is capable of having different perspectives is considered fake nowadays.

OMG. You grouped in grandparents with villains and extras 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@dianewebster3763]

I am a Barbie collector and I don’t buy new Barbie’s because they are boring/cheap quality/over priced. The ONLY new Barbie I have ever bought was a “babysitter Barbie” and it was only for the stroller- not the Barbie. It’s so sad- I wish Barbie’s today were what they used to be- fancy clothes, nice rooted hair, articulations. Remember Mattel your best selling Barbie was “totally hair Barbie”? It was because of the beautiful extraordinary hair, in fact I remember begging my parents to buy it for me when I was young. Now if that totally hair Barbie would have also had a gorgeous ball gown I am sure it would have sold even more. Surprisingly enough I actually became a Barbie collector because I wanted my daughter to have the kind of Barbie’s I had when I was young- it made me do research and start collecting these vintage Barbie’s. Unfortunately for Mattel all my purchases are second hand and never directly from Mattel. I am not the only doll collector out there and Mattel should make a line that just focuses on quality- they should see how much people are paying for their own quality vintage Barbie’s and step it up to sell Barbie’s again to collectors first hand. I know I may be old fashioned but I also don’t like the joints on many of these new articulated dolls- I wish Barbie’s had the “click knees” like they used to- and if they made “click knees” I am sure they could make “click elbows” as well.

[@toykeyper8914]

Yes! It would be wonderful if Mattel could at least put some effort back into their collector dolls, but apparently even some of these have terrible cheapness and pixelated makeup. I would love to buy some great quality dolls directly from Mattel than pay these insanely inflated ebay prices.

[@grungesoftnr]

I remember the color changing Barbie mermaids from like early 2000s... those were amazing, like they had rooted hair and you just put ice on their hair or body or clothes to change the color. I wish this era of kids got what we did

[@Jhud69]

This whole "negativity" makes me think of The Sims 4. A lot of diehard Sims fans don't like this installment, and I was always "eh, it's not my favorite but I feel like people are too negative". Then I realized... I've never paid a single penny for this game (yes, I pirate it, sorry for being an evil person but I just can't justify the price and EA is not hurting for money). Of course, my opinion isn't so negative. Likewise, a lot of people who think there is too much negativity around Barbie today are probably used to getting free samples from Mattel. When we don't pay for something it's easier to look past all the flaws, no matter how "genuine" we try to make our opinion about it.

[@RobotoMA]

Are you telling us we should steal barbies then we don't need us to complain about the defects?

[@Jhud69]

@@RobotoMA ...No? You completely misunderstood my comment lol. I'm saying that people who complain less about defects and are overly positive probably are used to getting free samples from Mattel that's why they're all just "omg you guys are so negative the Barbies are fine!!". Notice that people who are too real with their reviews are NEVER on Mattel's PR list. I'm literally with you on that whole "Barbies are bad nowadays and you SHOULD say it" gang.

[@cutelilscrafty]

What's worse with this line is that the concept art for the jewel themed ones looked amazing. Someone posted it in one of the Barbie collector groups I'm in on Facebook, and they looked gorgeous. Like if you saw the concept art without seeing the actual dolls, you'd think it was gonna be a decent quality line. But then you see what they became, it's just sad.

[@WulfyFang3]

I refused to play with the dollar store versions of dolls. Perhaps that means I was spoiled as a kid (I know I was), but I couldn't stand low quality. Especially when their bodies and limbs were noticeably hollow. Being able to change my dolls' clothes was super important to me. I almost always left their hair in the original styles, but I loved soft hair. I still have one of my favorite childhood barbies because her hair is absolutely silky. If my kid self saw the color reveal dolls, I'd ask for one, probably get it (again, spoiled), and never ask for another because of how disappointed I would have been with it.

[@Ant_0n_y0u]

I Really Hate these color reveal dolls like I thought they would have gotten the message to cancel the line, by all the people complaining because of how TERRIBLE the dolls are. The quality is just so bad and they are overpriced. Yea, I don’t think so.

[@StitchGV]

Ok, story time. Sorry but I have to share. 😖 I’ve recently started my own little Dolls of the World collection, where not EVERY Barbie is from the official “Dolls of the World” line, but still represent a country in some way (such as the Meiko doll, Queen Elizabeth I, Marie Antoinette, etc.). But they’re all Special Edition or at least stay-on-shelf-and-look-nice dolls, and they’re all from the early 2000s. The quality is pretty good, the hair is great, the jewelry and fabrics are great. But I really wanted a good representation of Mexico, so I recently bought the 2018 Dia de Muertos doll. This thing originally retailed at about $100. Double the price of a Dolls of the World doll in its heyday, which sold for $50 in 2003. As some may remember, those were a comfortable medium between shelf-quality and toy-quality; nicer than “Flower Power” Barbie, more playable than Marie Antoinette. So Muertos being a “Special Edition”, I thought she’d fit right in. WELL!.... Needless to say, I was SHOCKED that this $100 Special Edition had the quality of a toy! The fabric of her dress was cheap, her “gold” jewelry was molded shimmer-yellow plastic instead of painted with gold chrome, her hairline is so high in the back that it looks like she has an undercut (interesting choice on a doll who’s hair is WORN UP! ??? ), I notice her head sculpt has no eye definition at all, it’s completely smooth and her eyes are only painted on, which actually gives it a strange look in person, and the flowers.... ugh... I knew the flowers were molded plastic but COME ON! The Meiko Barbie has fabric flowers in her hair. For a $100 special edition, they couldn’t give her something more realistic?? As I sat there removing all her jewelry to repaint them with gold chrome nail polish, I remembered the barbies I had as toys as a child; the intricate details of their outfits, the quality of their fabrics, and the real effort that went into making them as comparable to the life-size versions as possible, and that’s when I realized... my Barbie TOYS were better quality than this!! This was the quality of one of the “bargain” Barbies you’d find in really skinny boxes for maybe $7. The Barbie you felt more comfortable giving to your 5-year-old because you knew she’d only destroy it! THAT... is what I just paid $100 for!! Sold to me by a company telling me this is a “special” and “nice” doll!! 🤯 I won’t say she doesn’t look ok from the front (and from a distance), I won’t say I’m not happy to have her, but I will say I’m deeply disappointed and saddened that the only Special Edition Barbies I’ll ever feel good about buying again will be ones on eBay from the early 2000s... that I can never look forward to anything NEW from Barbie because I’ll never feel comfortable spending that amount of money on it. 😔 Seriously Mattel, make the toys affordable if you must, but do you really think the COLLECTORS wouldn’t appreciate the better quality, even if it is for a higher price?? P.S., the chrome nail polish didn’t work, by the way, because no nail polish is quite THAT chrome. So she’s the only doll on my shelf that doesn’t sparkle. 😡

[@carolinekonculic]

My daughter, five soon to be six years, really like them and I enjoy the surprise element, but I agree with you that they are way to expensive, all the barbies are. So I almost always buy other dolls for my daughter because of the quality and price.

[@VintageDollGlam]

I’m sooooo happy you are being honest with your video. ❤️🌈 I love Melissa’s videos as well, no shade towards her she’s amazing, but I honestly think she retracted from her original opinions on Barbie because she was afraid of getting removed off the Mattel PR list. I agree Barbie is the original doll I fell in love with, but the vintage barbies are where the quality was at. The modern Barbie brand has been horrible in recent years. And although yes there’s diversity, you can not dismiss the horrible lack of quality they have now. There’s other brands like MGA making diverse dolls with higher quality. How can Mattel treat Barbie so low? It’s ridiculous. And we can’t keep pretending it’s not happening. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@SlMONSAYS]

You are 100% correct. She realized she had completely burned the bridge with Mattel and figured the apology would get the free products flowing once again. If I were Mattel, I wouldn't even bother replying to an email from her. She has drug them (Barbie) through the mud ever since MGA started providing her with free products. Very unwise to sell your integrity for free plastic. Hard to take someone willing to do that very seriously. Loads of viewers have caught on to how that channel operates.

[@berkeilbars6379]

I completely agree with you. These prices for these extremely low quality is absurd. I am so sad that kids are playing with this much cheapness or being have to enjoy this becouse they have no choice. I'm so done with Barbie and I feel totally hopeless about future of the dolls. It look like the next generation won't have any idea about good quality dolls. They will be forced to get used to and embrace the garbage plastic waste of money things.

If kids had to choose between the modern Barbies or my homemade doll. I think they would choose my homemade dolls. At least most of them.

i said this exact comment on the other video and I'm copying it here because i agree with you you should not be compensating quality for diversity, also with how much dolls cost in europe they aren't worth it. this is my comment on the other video honestly this makes me sad, its honesty i feel like a slap in the face to other ethnicities and races when you say you cant have both, are other races not worth quality? should an asian child be complicit with a bad quality doll, because the company cant be stuffed making their dolls articulated with good clothes? should a middle eastern child be happy with a doll that fair enough looks like them but cant bend its knees? how much fun is that I'm sorry Melissa i love you but this honestly feels wrong. All children should be able to find quality dolls with diversity. and i stand by it

[@anikohuiber8895]

I bought a mermaid color reveal last year on discount. It was fine (has nice long hair) , it’s good for bath time. I would buy these for my child on a discount maybe but I feel like it’s still too expensive in Europe on sale.

[@fluffymeow1746]

Love your channel, I started my own to review the dolls I can get here in New Zealand. Early days yet 😸

[@biancadew9967]

If i was a kid, I would want a toy that I can play and enjoy for a longer period of time, not just the excitement is only in the start

[@jessicacaraballo645]

i think the discussion of price level and inclusiveness is so important... what does it matter if the design has dark skin... different bodies or prosthetics if the target audience can't afford it or cant justify the price for the quality. if the doll is bad quality it wont hold up to a kid playing with it then you have to spend 20-30 dollars for it... thats ridiculous.

[@BrianMalibu]

Yikes.... well.... I guess my money is going to MGA Entertainment! Where they actually take pride in their doll lines!

[@VintageDollGlam]

Those modern color reveal Barbies should cost around $5 or $7 and nothing more. Truly awful. 🙁

[@lajasnjohu5264]

The idea was fun. The execution....not so much. I just want dolls to be able to bend their legs, at the VERY least. They're made cheap and nasty, but dont have a cheap price to them (at least where I am)

[@nancyhernandez8130]

Thank you so much for doing this video. I agree with you 💯! I wish they could make Barbie like they used to for adult collectors at reasonable prices 😢

[@gabsy_ferreira]

I remember that around 2005 i had a My Scene mcdonald's toy that was just way better quality than today's barbie dolls

[@sknnygirl]

I can agree more! I love your channel.Today it’s difficult to see someone who’s really said the true about Barbie.

[@SonoNariFiorewithGrace]

I feel like whoever are doing these collection lines they stopped caring

[@mozzalong]

We do deserve both. Barbie please put the quality back into equality in 2021

[@suzannebeinart4359]

I agree 100 percent! MGA has been getting my money lately with the Rainbow High dolls.

[@NicolasPetrosLanning]

MGA RULES

[@catgirl6940]

Honestly I lost my love for Mattel when they rebooted Monster High and Ever After High. I glad I switch over to MGA. LOL OMG and Rainbow HIgh look way better to me then Barbie including Barbie Extra, but I believe we are all allowed and free to like whatever doll brands we want. I excited to see how well Na Na Na Surprise Teens do, they look interesting to me.

[@dds9563]

70's 80's 90's Barbie are valued and even if you have'nt removed it from the box yet looks good !!! Now ... More on ... quantity than ... Quality !!!

[@ourangelaudrey3225]

The color reveal dolls with the clips are so cheaply made,I'm honestly boycotting them the only ones I would like is the little ken and the rooted hair girls, I understand color change is cool but its only for one time and you can barley do anything with them, I kinda am sad I waited so long to collect dolls.

[@fridawarnemyr6025]

Has anyone in the doll community decided to not give Mattel more free PR by no longer talking about their shit until it gets better?

[@SB4E.2]

[@pepsicolagirl]

I like the 2000s barbie better bc i like the ⏳shape and the hands

[@princessstella6552]

And click bend knees in a rubbery legs 😀

[@nimateimouri8639]

I just wrote down some thoughts like this about these 2 weeks ago on a doll news channel and a girl out of no where came and bashed me for no reason cause I said old Barbies are way better than these.

[@Amylynnp777]

Poor barbie. What would sell is repro 60’s barbie, Repro vintage Francie barbie with the headband dressed as Sabrina

[@sianisoleil481]

I totally agreeeeee!!!! Come on Mattel bring back the real barbie classic well made beautiful dolls please!!! Great Video!!! Bravo!!!

[@mishti06]

Barbie has seriously lost her identity. I totally agree!!! 1000% it's cheap, super disposable toys. Stand one of these, next to a barbie from the 80s or 90s and you can see. I personally buy much more mga now and not mattel. The barbie face moulds just look CHEAP and generic now. The small ones (Kelly's?) Remind me very much of enchantemals. All we want mattel is decent hair, articulation and real clothes. I will be holding on to every barbie I have because obviously the days of quality are gone. Fantastic video Joey 👍Don't worry bout being negative...sometimes things just need to be said.

[@SB4E.2]

Preach! 🙌

[@lilimeiful]

Hi !, i totally agree with you , i'm 64 years old , mad of barbie since my first one , and it's so sad to see such bad quality at Mattel . kisses from Lyon , France. love your channel so much 💗💗💗

[@barbiehospital9648]

Agreed! Not even bothering buying them

[@Riiver_Styxx]

Thanks for bringing up that other youtubers video. I'm just glad to see her message was heard. Your video was great, as always.

[@jackiewinters5792]

Totally agree with all that you said. I admire your honesty & integrity. As for Mommy, obviously she doesn't have her priorities in order & is just sucking up to Mattel. According to her, it's ok to spend your hard-earned money on shitty products whilst making excuses for the company. That said, I've lost my respect for her & no longer value her opinion.

[@strudel_reviews]

So I see you seen the apology video, instagram story, and possibly the newest video?

[@jackiewinters5792]

@@strudel_reviews Indeed I have.

[@bethenecampbell6463]

I wish Mattel would put out more fashion packs and accessory kits. Especially for the little sisters and friends. I'd pay 10 quid just for shoes for Chelsea and Kelly!

[@LukasVonIncher]

Totally agree with u, darling Mattel, where is the quality??????

[@grellina-4239]

I love this channel I hope it will grow up very fast^^ I really like your personality and wish u many beautiful dolls^^

[@maisondumewcustomdollsbyte127]

Here the Colour revel dolls cost $80. Yes $80 for these ugly pieces of crap. I live in Ontario Canada btw. I was in shock. I agree Mattel could do way better. I remember the dolls I grew up with and they were so much better and are still great today. They cost $25 when I was a kid.

[@SB4E.2]

[@DannyoffireAwaken]

Mattel: Let's make the Barbie line super diverse! Me: Okay but can they stand up to my kids? Mattel: You can't have everything

Lol! Soo funny! I heard the words “cheap” and “awful” a lot in this video! 😂😂😂😂 poor barbie,

[@honnyretubado3375]

Yey 30k subs, I just can remember when this channel has 3k subs. Congrats!!🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@amberruxpin]

I quite like the newer color reveal dolls because we are getting more metallic colors vs just matte colors but the prices they want for these is completely unacceptable. The absolute best color reveal dolls are the mermaid ones. Also I'll admit I kind of saw this coming because years ago I made a comment on Facebook saying that one day Barbie dolls will probably eventually come with non brushable molded hair and now here we are. Mattel really needs to get it together :/

[@bobbysmith8095]

If they ever decide to do all their doll/most with moldable hair they can just declare bankruptcy and give MGA the win. Mattel under estimate their adult buyer/fan if they think only kid and parent buy their stuff. Even kid will stop wanting mattel if almost every doll have compete molded hair.

[@MishaSims]

The only thing I get the color reveal dolls for is the clothing and accessory items

[@Bananacustardcostuming]

When I was a kid, it was about changing outfits and styles. My favourite dolls were the Sharing Sisters Barbie set where you got Barbie, Skipper and Stacey and loads of different pieces to mix and match. I had diverse dolls (I had a pineapple scented dark skinned Barbie/Mattel branded doll, I believe she had a blue fabric bikini?) and the quality was beautiful. There’s no need to pump out 600 different VERY SIMILAR looking dolls, kids will generally have a couple they love and then want outfits and accessories. Maybe things like a pet/spouse/siblings but not just loads of the same doll.
