The History of My Scene Barbie Dolls | PART 2 : From the Doll Aisle to the Courtroom (2004 - 2005)

[@ratos62]

out of topic but was i the only person who tought the myscene cast was supposed to be older? because they went to clubs, made big parties, travel very far away and even had job offers as a child i tought they were at least in their 20s. Until the sweet 16 party was brought out and i freaked out to find out they were supposed to he teenagers.

[@NOT.NEREIDE]

@angelbunny77 I'm pretty sure the jammin' in Jamaica movie shows the girls convincing there parents to let them go

[@iHeartsNostalgiaPit]

No I felt some age confusion from this as well

[@MeowMeow_95_]

I thought they were in college in the city. For example, chealsea I thought, was a fashion major. Until I saw jammin in Jamaica. I was so jealous haha

[@AC-bk1jg]

I feel like it would’ve made more sense if they turned 18

[@michellecabrera5690]

I also thought they were older! Lol!

[@shadyjoanneboots]

I wonder if anyone actually won those sweepstakes and got to meet Lindsay Lohan. Would love to hear that story

[@HaveYouHeardDolls]

I'm surprised no one has done a Reddit AMA on winning one of these Mattel sweepstakes - did Mattel make them sign NDAs or something?

[@bunnyfrosting1744]

Omg she has a podcast now, someone needs to figure out how to ask her about it!

[@Charlie-pu9bx]

I was 9 or 10 when the Jammin in Jamaica dolls came out, and I had Maddison, who became one of my favourite childhood toys. I finally brought her again this year as a 29 year old - a wave of nostalgia hit me and I was so happy to finally have something that meant so much to me as a child again. I now have a collection of over 10 dolls, dating back to the 90's.

[@Carry-on-my-wayward-son]

SAME. J in J Madison (westley in my case) holds a special Place in my heart ❤

[@BratzBoyMax]

It really is indicative of the time when the reboot meant the dolls became more fierce. As opposed to recently where reboots saw the dolls and characters get softer more 'kid friendly' looks.

[@thapelosishi]

I think an episode on Winx Club dolls would be interesting. They’ve had a LOT of iterations from Giochi Preziosi Mattel to Jakks to Witty etc.

[@HaveYouHeardDolls]

I'd love to cover Winx at some point!

[@rickylopez6633]

My scene in Latin America was extremely popular 🥺💙 I love my scene so much 💙

[@bratzscene3131]

First of all I have to say that you did a great job so far. With all respect, I was concerned at first because I know that My Scene is such a large topic to cover and there is so much more to it than one would think. But you did great. I must say I LOVE the way you have structured the videos so far. I'm a MASSIVE My Scene STAN and have been since my childhood:) Can't wait for part 3(and possibly part 4)!

[@HaveYouHeardDolls]

Thank you!! This series was definitely a huge undertaking, especially with all of the media content to cover. I'm surprised that I got this video under 18 minutes, given how eventful 2004-2005 was for the brand😂

[@miguelstarboy5572]

saaaame

[@jayroberts1039]

Harvey Weinstein in the ‘My Scene Goes Hollywood’ movie was so random! Also thank you for your hard work! Can’t wait for part 3!

[@shantidivination]

So... they can't just think of an agreement with Carter? I would love a reproduction of these dolls! Scalpers prices are ridiculous imo.

[@4everbratz]

Great video as usual! The movies were obviously a big part of my childhood and they hold a special place in my heart ❤️ It’s crazy how fast the boys were being phased out of the line as it went on. Not to mention, the whole legal battle with MGA was a lot to take in. Can’t wait for Part 3! 😍

[@HaveYouHeardDolls]

Thanks!! I completely agree about the movies - rewatching them while researching for this video was very comforting. My Scene was certainly notorious for phasing out characters, although the unique characters and their relationships were one of the factors (imo) that really helped the brand stand out.

[@novembercrust]

Not sure if you read suggestions here, but I would love a video on the history of Pullip. I've been a Pullip fan and collector since 2005 and I feel a lot of her history has been lost as more people have gotten into them in only the years since they started doing more collabs (ie: the Sailor Moon dolls), plus they're just a little more obscure in the western world.

[@bbsdollsandtvarchive]

Thank you for the second part of the series. I really hope you do one on the Moxie Teenz :)

[@cassandralyris4918]

YES! Moxie Girls in general are so underrated!

[@HaveYouHeardDolls]

Moxie Teenz is definitely on my list of lines to cover! I hope to cover some more non-Mattel brands after I complete this series and avoid getting a "Barbie burnout" 😁

[@bugsandsnakes]

Spontaneous Combustion was such a bop I still listen to that song ngl

[@robsonriot]

This channel deserves so much more recogniton! The effort and research put on this is so spot on! Love it so much

[@joshuhwah94]

I could watch these all day

[@hendrikwilpers6259]

I love how informative your videos are!

[@arthurpendragon2570]

Oh my god the part 2!!! Thank you so much! Your videos are amazing.

[@Emilyz1337]

I hope your channel gets more attention your videos are so good thank you so much for the hours of binge watching ❤️

[@christines7748]

Patiently waiting for part 3👀

[@ib7375]

The videos are so complete ! thank you for all of the information, I love MyScene so much, so it's so interesting to know all of those details !

[@estellecent1745]

Hello there! I just wanted to say I totally love your videos! They're so full of information and good-quality footage and I find it really amazing how you treat your every content with respect and professionalism! Being a huge doll fan myself, I think I just found the perfect channel for me to watch doll-related content! As for the My Scene dolls, I got to admit they are my favorite doll line and those two parts of the history video you made were just awesome to watch! Thank you so much! Keep doing a wonderful job! Love from Greece! Oh! And a small suggestion for a future video! Here in Greece, we used to have our own Barbie doll counterpart called Bibi-Bo. I don't know very much about her myself, however I do know she was quite popular in the '80s and she had a boyfriend called John John. The company that produced her was called El Greco. It would be really nice if you made a video about her!

[@CodenameSailorEarth]

I forgot how many movies there were. I'm surprised nobody was upset with Barbie being with River, while everyone was destroyed with Blaine.

[@jasonramirez5380]

Discovered these dolls in 2018, such a great line. Thank you for making these videos.

[@danikcjs]

loveee this series, can't wait for the next part

[@andieamigu5214]

4:30 aww they have matching headbands 🥺✨

[@aquastartv1895]

that's really cute.

[@simmiewimmie]

I still have the Jammin’ in Jamaica dvd! 🥰🥰

[@bnottelingu]

love these!! so excited for the next!

[@Annikaclou]

Such a shame that mattel messed up, but I gotta say both dolls were fun to play with.

[@AbbeyandJackson]

Can't wait for part 3!!!

[@napoleoncontreras4184]

What a way to end the video, I Can’t wait for part 3!

[@neonranger_]

i’ve been waiting for this video! btw the kellogs dvd deal was also available is europe, it came with hot wheels episodes and some other thing with animals. i still have them to this day!

[@JaneDoe-po4gu]

remember when harvey was outted for being a creep and lindsay filmed a testimonial standing up for him

[@HaveYouHeardDolls]

In hindsight, it's unsettling that the Goes Hollywood movie (primarily aimed at young girls) was produced by such a person. Sadly, that's what really happens the entertainment industry - though fortunately he got caught - and not the peachy-keen stuff depicted in the movie.

Awesome video I hope one day you could do some videos about Barbie’s little sisters I’m sure they have an interesting history

That was amazing!

[@deveraalmestica5838]

Mattel should release my scene dolls again . I didn't have dolls . But i did saw the my scene movies. And i did have my scene notes books .

[@madisonlohr6492]

You could do a video on the history of Moster High.

[@Jadethebratzboy]

The shopping spree line is so shady, like they sued carter Bryant and then went on a shopping spree lmao

[@Nocturne22]

NOT Delancey being assigned Target as her shopping "heaven" 😭😭😭

[@aquastartv1895]

yes Delancey shopping at Target.

[@lecomptedadf]

Love your videos !!

[@SirenixUniverse]

Another amazing video!!! Cannot wait on part 3 😍

[@javieravalentin]

I’ve Been Really Enjoying These Videos! I Went Through And Watched All Your Videos! I Knew Retrospective Videos About Fashion Dolls Could Be So Interesting! These Videos Make Me Consider A Career In Children’s Toys! There’s So Much Creativity To Be Found And To Output In This Field! I Would Like To See A Video On The 1999-2000 Mattel Brandy Doll. I’d Love To See How You Could Do It! And Maybe A Different Video On The Barbie And The Rockers Vs The Jem And The Holograms Dolls! Thank You So Much For These Videos And Keep Up The Great Work! Can’t Wait For Part 4!

[@rumis.dollsss.15]

Thank you for this retrospective

[@duckdodgers3574]

Barbie going hard against the Bratz would had been a great plot for the Barbie movie

[@iHeartsNostalgiaPit]

boy that cameo did NOT age well

[@HaveYouHeardDolls]

And it's not the last time the Weinsteins would be involved with the My Scene brand! But's a topic for the next episode...

[@cindiadkins9510]

the smiling face molds creep me out a bit

[@strudel_reviews]

Like that and Clawdia Wolf's face mold gives me nightmares

[@aquastartv1895]

@@cindiadkins9510 real, so totally real.

[@jeannecaelum5167]

Cant wait for more! This video reminded me of the Barbie with wings, I wanted her so bad when I was a kid. I had other Myscenes instead, loved the one with roller skates, swapping heads and movable joints that should come up sooner or later ^-^ These were and still are my favourites for these swapping heads feature, and their stylish clothing options >.

[@cloverjane6769]

Ok but the sound track for jam in in Jamaica was soooo good 🔥🔥🔥

Does anyone have the Clare’s exclusive my sene playlist? ❤️

[@amandaandrade2801]

My first My Scene was Chelsea Shopping Spree ❤

[@ratos62]

This was really interesting as always. i was surprised by the latin american content. i remember having that kellogs cd

[@iriemonmon]

They did River so dirty with his dolls lol, he'll never know peace

[@Manu_crafts]

The first season of mini episodes of my scene exclusive to Latin America that came in the cereal packages did arrive in Spain and was translated into Spanish and had a menu where you could listen to it in English or Portuguese, see Hot Wheels and an advertisement of their next movie of My Scene Goes Hollywood, but the second season did not arrive in Spain and was exclusivily produced to Latin America.

[@HaveYouHeardDolls]

Thanks for the clarification!

[@Manu_crafts]

@@HaveYouHeardDolls Don't worry, you did an amazing research, here in Spain We had ads and unique My Scene merchandising like in Latin America, handbags, blouses and fragrances with Barbie, Chelsea and Westley (Madison), but Delancey was not as common to see in the stores as Nolee which was also very popular. The trend and attention to My Scene began to fade after the second reboot with the new art style, and Barbie regained her fame during 2009 with the fashionistas and the 50th anniversary. ✨💓

[@angiepinkyland3543]

Tell me why Delancey has had few appearances on doll lines during 2005?

[@antoniemarienova7205]

As a kid I absolutely adored My Scene. I found it fun, bold and overall cool. In comparison Bratz we’re just a bit too much and ridiculous. Not to mention the shoes situation. It’s just so strange to me that My Scene received so little love and attention from doll collectors community. If I would ever start collecting dolls it would definitely be My Scene.

[@Richardsonprincess00]

No wonder my scene was the popular worldwide.

[@gleamentertainment6824]

Hi there I have a question I’m hoping you can help me answer. I wanna talk about the Lindsay Lohan doll in specific. When she was creating with the Doll, what did she have total control over? Is there a reason why her Doll looked the way it did.? Did they create her a new mold?

[@HaveYouHeardDolls]

The Lindsay Lohan sculpt was used exclusively for her. I know with the Mary-Kate and Ashley dolls, they mentioned that they (more so their management) had some creative input on their face sculpts and clothes early on. Considering how busy Lindsay was at the time, I wouldn't be surprised if her management just gave her likeness and told Mattel to handle the rest. That too, they needed to make the doll aesthetically fit in with the other My Scene girls.

[@danimoonfire]

Finally 💗

[@Lookinpeace]

Well since bratz are back fully im happy to say last night leaks of my scene collection dolls came out so I’m happy good dolls are coming back now we will get real fashion from both

When Bratz Was Ugleh

[@Cuteyhoney57]

Frankly in this era (the beginnings of the 2000s) it was the only sorts of these sexies dolls I accepted. Bratz or Flavas was the summum of the vulgar for me! I was only 20 in 2000 and I was horrified when the Bratz appeared and worse when Flavas came!!! It was for me Ghetto Barbies, or in France we name these dolls « Cassos Barbie » who mean Cas sociale Barbie aka Slut Barbie or Very uneducated Barbie, Poor Barbie it was quite offended for many people, but parents bought them because of the supplication of the children, Bratz were everywhere, and the commercials was very agressive. MyScene was more glamorous and less vulgar. BUT it was just for answer the asking and stay in the game because of the Bratz!!! What the 2000s was a bizarre era for toys !! Glad when I became a mom in 2009, that Bratz disappeared and Barbie Fashionistas became popular! Mattel found a good way to match glamorous, sexy BUT not Vulgar dolls! Even Monster High was more acceptable because of the Fantasy/monster’s world.

[@monsterhighscene]

As per usual, it’s a masterpiece!
