The FUTURE of Rainbow High & CHEER Review: Series 3, Jett Dawson, Most Wanted Dolls *DISCUSSION*

[@Addareene101]

I really, really hope the girl based off Cher from clueless is in series 3... I would prefer if they take a step back releasing dolls and focus on fashion and accessory packs for a bit.

[@xxx_mia_xxxx_renexxx5873]

She will be and there not gonna make fashion packs for a while

[@ToyChat]

Agreed!

[@NakanoMiku-chan-z2m]

I can imagine a doll with a brown colour scheme making a cute autumn themed doll.

[@ToyChat]

Totally! There are a lot of beautiful options for brown hues in different fashions & accessories. Auburn hair would be great too!

[@NakanoMiku-chan-z2m]

@@ToyChat that would be so pretty. I can see the doll being boho inspired.

[@Amiator99]

I’d like to see fashion packs of the clothes they wear in the series, in particular Jade’s black baseball cap. And a metallic lineup would be fun.

[@ToyChat]

Metallic makeup would be soooo fun! Or really metallic anything haha!

[@drawingfandome]

Someone else suggested this in a video but I loved the idea so I’m putting it here Rainbow high boy football player budget dolls to match the cheerleader girls! also another suggestion rainbow high I think really needs to be more experimental with style and have a style line that stands out so all the dolls don’t start to feel similar with the rainbow theme So I’d like a fantasy doll line where the girls have fantasy fashion designs like ruby could be dragon themed, jade Mother Nature themed, sunny a sun god or mermaid, violet mermaid or something and poppy a full out monarch butterfly wings and all. And another fun idea would be Halloween costumes with the girls but they could make their own fashion Halloween looks They just need one line of the girls that kinds breaks away from the rainbow fashion theme a little so all the dolls don’t feel the same all the time.

[@ToyChat]

An all-boy line of any kind would be so fun! I'm a BIG fan of fantasy themes, and these characters already fit that mold very well, so I think a fantasy RH line would be absolutely gorgeous. Halloween would be so cute too! Agree with all of your suggestions. Any of those would be amazing! It's true singular 'color block' themes per character may get tiring over time. Hopefully they're willing to experiment more & more! -Max

[@bussit8775]

I would’ve liked if Jade came with shorts and not a skirt. But that’s just me 🖤💖

[@ToyChat]

That would have been very cute & on-theme for her!

[@koolkat928]

I know you guys don’t really address leaks but a collector doll, color changing car, and a new winter break line with the Series 1 girls were found in Target’s System! A dorm Playset is also rumored but it’s unconfirmed.

[@kevinwijngaard8177]

omg that is so cool!! i wonder why the winter line is so expensive tho

[@ToyChat]

Yes, we've definitely seen those leaks. A winter line could be lovely, but oof those rumored prices were a bit shocking. Hopefully they come with a lot of stuff. Maybe the collector doll is Jett...? Or a deluxe version of some other character. We'll have to wait & see!

[@valerieduvra7275]

This probably would never happen but I think it would be cool if they had a line of boy dolls or something like how MH had a set of Duece and Gil hanging out

[@ToyChat]

I'd LOVE that. So cute!

[@austinlord9934]

It took me a while for the cheer line to grow on me. It is so well designed don't get me wrong. But just not a line I wanted to see. Would love to see other lines following themes like sports, field trips, spring break, sleepover and so on ! As for the budget discussion for RH in general; I think fashion packs are a great way to keep the dolls reach growing. I know these dolls are expensive to make so if someone can't buy a bunch of the dolls, they can at least afford one or two and get fashion packs to change them up.

[@ToyChat]

Truthfully, although these dolls are very cute, I'd agree a cheerleader/'school spirit' type of collection wouldn't have been my first choice for a themed line of a new brand. It fits in perfectly with the 'high school' theme, but doesn't offer much opportunity for anything especially unique or fun. And yes, more affordable accessory / mini packs to make penny pinching a little easier as a collector, while still getting to enjoy the brand, would be great!

[@JayeKisses]

Ruby’s cheer uniform is basically Amaya’s uniform but just with flames instead of rainbows

[@tinmanlover1994]

I'd love if rainbow high made dolls with chronic illness with a feeding tube,in a wheel chair, blind,deaf or hard of hearing with hearing aids. Then make extra fashion packs for the dolls for each one red,orange,yellow,green,blue,purple all the other colors too it would be so cool kinda like how they had Avery styles with a whole lot of clothes to put on the dolls

[@Drewski217]

Of *course* Max wants a deluxe prom/gowns line! LMAO I think you guys hit the nail on the head of a lot of things I want to - more diversity in skin tones, more color combos. It'll also be interesting to see how they go forward with creating secondary dolls for the non core 6 characters, what with this cheer line and rumored winter one. It'll definitely be a juggling act for them making enough of one or another and not leaving out anyone too often. I think that's also why a smaller cast in general works because you can do more riffing with them and not get bogged down with never repeating characters. I do think the web series needs the chance to catch up with the dolls as well. As far as Jett goes, there's hopeful speculation that she's east asian and I hope so too because more ethnic diversity is always welcome. (and speaking of, Karma's been speculated as an Indian girl and with that background apparently matching her voice actresses' that would seem to be the case and make her the first official asian girl in the show!). In my ideal dreams we'd get a darker Skyler (to match her show appearance) but maybe in a beach line IDK? She definitely seems like she and Sunny should share a skintone so maybe in the future. Lastly I think they just need to focus on quality control. My Krystal had two right legs and looking through the Facebook group I'm in two different people had similar issues (one a Krystal, one with a Stella(?) IIRC) and this hand staining is not great either so make it work @MGAE! I do take issue with calling this a budget line. MH spoiled me with their version of budget dolls because most of those were under $15 for fully articulated and fully posable dolls with new hair and clothing that both fit the line theme and them as characters. (Remember 'freaky field trip? Jewelry and a uniquely themed accessory for each girl, or Ghouls Getaway with not only jewelry but molded hair and armor accessories ETA: Even budget lines to compliment bigger ones - like Scaris - would have purses and accessories that were useful). I feel inclined to love cheerleader things but a budget line this ain't and for $22 each I might - MIGHT - pick up Skyler and wait on the rest (Sunny I want to love but wish her hairstyling was more different, maybe no bangs and afro puffs?) for clearance.

[@c.w.2000]

Wow, that is bad quality control. I heard complaints that the face paint on the cheer line was off-the-mark, but two right legs is much worse. I am so frustrated with Mattel over quality control issues; I was hoping to find some refuge with Rainbow High. I am waiting for a shipment of Avery and Skyler. Let’s hope they are okay, because it will be a hassle to get replacements. I wish I could just pick them up in store, but those ones aren’t in my area in Canada, and I’m not sure they will be.

[@ToyChat]

You know me too well! ;) hahaha. I think they definitely need a moment away from "just" the core 6, especially given limiting character releases to the Series 1 girls could just reignite the lacking diversity controversy. They should definitely go the MH/EAH route and mix & match different characters into newer lines that have opportunities to highlight fun new looks. Confirming Jett as an Asian character would be great, there could be another opportunity for variations of skin tone there again, but historically that's been left open to ambiguity in doll-centered series (Duchess being 'assumed to be' Asian, Briar Beauty 'assumed to be' Latina, but none of it ever being explicitly canon). Then again, I suppose it doesn't need to be written on the wall in the world of dolls. Variations of skin tones, hair and other features will generally allow more people to see themselves in the characters, so I think they should just continue expanding there for sure. Yeah...I can't necessarily say I've *chronically* seen problematic RH quality control, but I've definitely been noticing more issues following Series 2. More so with egregious eye wonk & under-rooted / poorly styled hair. But this is definitely an industry-wide issue, one we're clearly still seeing in LOL OMGs as well. I think I'd be more irritated about the hand staining if these dolls weren't intended to be permanently displayed with accessories that cover their hands lol but yeah...such a strange problem. Her hand was literally coated in stains and I haven't even checked all the other girls. We've discussed this a bit before, but my prediction is RH may never release dolls at a $15 or cheaper price point, unless they're sold next to nude, maybe in simple bathing suits and short/simple hair, because beyond that my suspicion is dolls of their size, the manufacturing costs would outweigh the profit too quickly. MGA tends to always avoid the Mattel route of sculpted 'clothes' to cut costs, so I think that's just a space they may never occupy. But we'll see! I think at the very least, $19.99 RH dolls should be a doable venture. The Cheer dolls are very cute but I wouldn't consider them 'must-haves' for all RH collectors by any means, so you're good skipping whoever you wanna skip, for now anyway! Haha. -Max

[@austinlord9934]

OMG yes I am hoping for accessory packs soon! I need bags for these girls haha. I was pretty sure fashion packs(maybe accessory packs) were confirmed to be at least in the works. In the recent Rainbow High vlog video where the girl shows off the magazine with Jett Dawson on the cover, the back has little suitcases/luggage, like we have seen before on Violet and Sunny's first day and Bellas last day. I'm guessing they could do mystery fashion packs with something resembling that luggage.

[@captainayaaya28]

Not exactly a budget line, but I would love a Sweet/Ice Cream Line!

[@aeeugenio7808]

OMG! I got featured. Thank you for crediting my doll IG account @dollifieddollie. I always watch your videos that's why I'm so gooped to see my post on your video. 😍💖

[@ToyChat]

Of course, thanks for sharing your findings with the community!

[@WuffKawaii]

At first I didn't care for this line and thought I could easily pass them up, but seeing them in person made me instantly fall in love. Rainbow High dolls are sooo good at grabbing your attention in the stores. My top three favorites of this line is Sunny, Ruby and Violet. I was surprise I liked Violet but I actually think her outfit is really cute and better in person, while I think Poppy is the most basic in terms of her outfit an her makeup, while beautiful makes it look like she has a black eye. The only three I'm missing from this wave is Skyler, Jade and Poppy.

[@ToyChat]

Ain't that the truth! They always hit different in person. Sang and I disagreed on Violet, but I really love her outfit haha plus the rhinestone ribbon & super soft hair. Thanks for watching! -Max

[@_twinklesprinkle]

not exactly a budget line, but I really want fashion packs WITHOUT dolls or with another character. I really like their secondary outfits, from episode 11 and it'd be cool to have the outfits. I'd also love to see more diversity and more characters of all sorts of upbringings. (characters who are poor, characters with mixed races, etc.) a fun playset idea: (bouncing off of Spectra's DJ set from 13 Wishes) I'd be so happy to see a playset of Poppy's DJ stand! I love the vibes it gives off, and I think it'd be such a fun addition to the RH line. it'd be cool if you could plug a device into the playset, or bluetooth sync your device! another playset idea: (bouncing off the idea mentioned in the video) I remember this one Ken doll where you can shave his face and it grows back; I've also seen some doll lines that had some cool science to pull off the illusion of doing your doll's makeup! I think a Jade playset similar to this would be exciting! perhaps instead of just the eyes, MGA could science their way into giving us collectors the ability to take an included object (like a tiny makeup brush, or eyeshadow sponge) and swipe it on all parts of a doll's face to reveal a completely different look! if not this, maybe something like MH's doll set that included a bare face and stickers that are designed to stick onto the doll's face! and if Jett Dawson starts selling as a doll, BYE-BYE, MONEY!!!

[@dustingabrielle1678]

I just hope series 4 would be like an all boy lineup. More like of an alternate version of the seires1 but they're boys hmm..

[@ToyChat]

Others have been saying that and I agree it's such a fun concept! Moar boys in general please!

[@hm4lyfe533]

I loved this discussion! It would be great to see Rainbow High grow in the same directions as Monster High & Ever After High. Definitely more male dolls. Great video boys!

[@cassieoliveira13]

i think RH have so much possibilities because they're on an art/fashion school just like they did the cheer squad uniforms, they can do something with sports or school clubs, a lot of things can be done, i would love an pajama line.

[@christopher9306]

It’s spelled Skyler with an E. There was a misprint on the box, and it was even confirmed by Michael-Scott Anderson.

[@ToyChat]

The Skyler/Skylar thing has been so confusing honestly lol. Both have been on her boxes, on the social media pages...feels like a tossup at this point lol! If it's definitely supposed to be an e, hopefully future releases reflect that.

[@TheCC1968]

I just found you guys today. I'm so happy I did. I keep telling my hubby, if you're going to get me a vday gift I want a rainbow cheer doll. Any color, he says I don't know what they are. So now he knows all 6 if them! Thank you sooooooo much. Now he can make a wise choice............🌈💟☮️🤩✨🌬️🌁🇼🇫

[@anyu]

I really, really want to see fashion packs. I feel like making a doll+outfit for various themes will get to be a little much and it's baffling to me how *fashion* dolls rarely have any extra fashions to buy nowadays? It's not like they wouldn't sell or anything either, I imagine parents on a budget would be super happy to get one doll and then be able to buy a $7 or so set of clothes for their kids to have fun with. Really hoping that'll start happening, because I don't want 10 Sunny dolls just to have all her outfits, for example. 😟 As for themes I'd love to see- roller skating, formal dance, school trip abroad, photo shoot/fashion week, sleepover, hobby related accessory packs, and of course Halloween would be super fun. I'd also love to see earrings/jewelry in the fashion packs because my Krystal has pierced ears but regular earring posts are too small. :/

[@Izzy-hr3cw]

Jett Dawson seems to be wearing clothes inspired by Fendi’s collection with Joshua Vides

[@ToyChat]

[@ToyChat]

Missed opportunity there, you're right! Bummer since my Amaya is already in her cheer uniform lol. Maybe I'll eventually do that on Instagram. ;) -Max

[@bobbysmith8095]

For series 3: -More boots, no high heel (everyone got high heel in series 2 so let skip them) Other shoes beside boots they could use: Flip flop, tennis shoe, Wedges, flats, sandal, etc There so many different kind of shoe so why do we need every single doll (which have 2 pair each) to get both high heel??? -More theme like poppy was a butterfly theme, Sunny a kawaii Japanese theme, etc maybe a few more theme would be nice. -More dress (beside bella) there was a lot of skirt but almost no dresses in series 2. -More jacket that not a copy of violet. I would have love Jade or Sunny 2nd jacket in more color and more original jacket. -More detail. I feel series 2 was super basic compare to series one. Ex: Karma and Jade; Jade outfit have way more detail then Karma. Jade jacket got belt loop, pocket, and color detail. Jade track pants got design/color but Karma skirt was very basic. Her Jacket was very basic, no detail beside the lace. her shoe look almost the same. Jade shoe, although both tennis shoe, look completely different. This can be say between almost every single series one and 2 doll. One got way more detail, variety in clothing, and each girl really stand out with a certain pieces of fashion. -It would be awesome if the male doll was the darker skin tone one. We don't get many rooted hair dark skin male doll. For the series in general... I haven't thought much ahead. I agree that Jett look too much like Amaya. Her hair should just be half black, half white, and she should just be the monochromatic doll not another rainbow doll (we got 3 now with 2 Amaya and the pastel rainbow Kia) I love the rainbow high art IMO it so HQ.

[@ToyChat]

All great suggestions! Variations of shoes would be great. Karma definitely felt oversimplified comparatively, even if her mesh jacket & skirt look was gorgeous. And yes...a darker skin male doll would be awesome! Will be interesting to see what comes next...thanks for watching!

Great review & vid! I really love this line too and am budgeting them into my next doll orders lol I'm almost caught up with the other series' - River & Krystal are taking soooo long in the mail haha. Agreed that there is sooo much opportunity for special series' e.g. homecoming, fashion show, prom, etc. But will it always be just the core six you think??? I think they should add Krystal to the core since the rainbow is comprised of seven colours - RYGBIV! Also, if you want to see what colours have been used in the dolls & in the animated series, check out my colour wheel I made on my IG or Twitter @wilcat74. I just updated it last week to try fit in more of the background characters.

[@ToyChat]

So glad you enjoyed! The Cheer dolls are very cute in person, definitely worth checking out. Hope your dolls make their way to you soon! We definitely hope they'll expand beyond just the core six in future lines, especially after introducing so many other fun characters! Lines that mix varieties of returning characters, like Monster High used to do, would be great to see moving forward!

[@rouenpucelle]

Jett Dawson looks amazing!

[@thequiltybee1263]

I have Bella from Rainbow Surprise and also Operetta from Monster High. In comparison, Bella from Rainbow surprise is a much better quality doll than my Monster High. She has nice weight to her, which I believe in the BJD community it’s suppose to be a good thing? Resin compared to plastic, is heavier and better quality, just my opinion though I am not an expert on dolls! My Operetta doll has a beautiful face but terrible flaws in her body, thigh seams not quite touching and lots of blemishes, perhaps I got a reject from eBay! Oh well love and learn right? I do love both dolls truly!

There’s an actual commercial for them that vid was just an introduction of them

[@c.w.2000]

I don’t know how it was with the Monster High number of different dolls per year because I wasn’t collecting then, but this seems like a large number of RH dolls in a short time. I think very few people are going to be able to collect them all, especially since the price point is likely going up, and it wasn’t that low to start. For me, I still have the same doll budget (in Canadian dollars, too), so I am not really going to be buying more dolls just because more come out. I may steal from the Barbie and Integrity fund, but, overall, announcement of a wave 3 has just made me less likely to go back and get any wave 1 dolls at all and less likely to buy more than 1 or 2 cheer dolls (Sunny, Ruby, and Skyler are my favourites). I was maybe going to get Amaya, but I’ll wait and see what Jett looks like. I’m also wondering if anyone finds paying this price for a doll that essentially has to stay in a cheerleader outfit because of the face paint to be an issue?

[@ToyChat]

Given RH is a newer brand, it definitely feels like this has been a rapid release schedule, particularly introducing so many new characters. The Rainbow High social media even implied Series 2 was released 'earlier than expected,' likely because they wanted the dolls on shelves in time for the holiday season. It's understandable from a business perspective, but can get overwhelming as collectors! Budgeting for everything can be rough nowadays (especially if you're an Integrity collector too, oof), but with playline stuff at least most of it should be available for a long while to revisit as needed (or if desired). Yeah...I had a bit of an issue with that myself. I initially looked at these releases as variations of the core 6 to redress & have fun with, but the face paint kind of cements them into this theme. Unless I take the plunge of acetone-ing the paint off...which I have considered lol.
