Unboxing Mattel’s Weirdest Dolls

Here I open up two of the Gorgeous Creatures dolls from 1979. These anthropomorphic ladies are fascinating.

Dear god. I had Princess Pig. In retrospect, she was terrifying but this was the era of Miss Piggy's popularity so I didn't think much about it. And the "parlor" clothing reminded me of Farrell's.

[@Luckyreaper]

The hippo with all the barnyard animals is strange, I would have liked to see a goat lady lol. I hope you make a review for the other ladies, my curiosity is peaked!

[@MrKDHay]

If Dr. Moreau created dolls, this is what he'd make 😅 They are weird but also fascinating. Great video

[@Thedollswitness]

Right?! Love em. Thanks!

[@sherrimakesstuff3112]

How did I miss this video? These are AWESOME! I didn't see these observations in the comments, so forgive me if I'm late to the party and this has already been said: The pink picture frame sculpt is the same frame used for the mirror that came with Beauty Sectrets Barbie (1979). The notch in the bottom of the frame was so the mirror would stand up inside Barbie's open makeup bag/suitcase. The hippo's yellow outfit looks like the love child of Pretty Changes Barbie (1978) and Superstar Christie. Thanks for sharing these! Great video as always

the great feather debacle of 2024, i was cracking up!

[@MrKookiblue]

Superstar Barbie outfit n accessories but in animal creatures form weird but nice 👍

[@pussycatbot]

Had to subscribe. I love the contrast of him being and sounding masculine while being a (mostly Barbie) doll collector. 😽💕

[@Greysheather]

I’m here! Merry Christmas!!!!!

[@kaChurva82]

I love it i hope mattel make that doll again....cute❤❤❤❤

[@dollelectrique8436]

My favourite obscure doll line. I hope I can own them one day ❤

[@user-yc6kf1gu4z]

Princess pig loves snacks & 5th avenue 😂😂

[@AT-vv9sx]

I thought I had fairly good knowledge of Mattel's doll-related output but the existence of these freaky chimera dolls wearing Superstar fashions is news to me! Thanks for sharing.

[@Thedollswitness]

My pleasure! ❤️❤️

[@omgmikeyg9335]

I definitely like these 😂 makes me want to find & get one especially cow bella & heavenly Hippo

[@fredjiejones]

how have i never heard of these. I NEED THEM ALL they’re so weird n fun

[@ROBYNMARKOW]

Grey skin on the hippo lady doll would be unappealing to children so that’s why they stuck w/the inaccurate flesh tone. I was 12 in 1979 & still played w/dolls but I honestly don’t remember these so Thanks for sharing👍

[@thatguysstuff15]

I can see them remaking the pig doll line in the early 2000s ... Back when the world could handle tongue in cheek ....... Be cool because they be trendy and be very funny ..... Bet theyed have a mall playset with a troff at the food cort . And theyed talk to each other . Back when toys went the way extra mile and had smart tech in their dolls and playsets ........

[@Danadu82]

I recall when these came out and I picked them up and was so perplexed by them. I didn’t buy them. I think, yes, definitely inspired by Miss Piggy but I always thought they were also inspired by the TV Show, The New Zoo Review. It had Henrietta Hippo. Really weird but really great dolls.

[@Sebastianthorn69]

My sis had the pig and the cow. I was fascinated by them. Also, side note, woof!

[@Thedollswitness]

Haha ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Spidrick]

These are amazing! I wonder if the hippo is a nod to the New Zoo Revue and Henretta HIppo?

[@Thedollswitness]

That may account for the hippo! ❤️

[@Restless318]

wow the dolls are from year I was born 1979 so cool you are best

[@Thedollswitness]

Sweet! Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it❤️

[@ellenpugh7322]

The hippo one looks like the character from Meet the Feebles

[@andibgoode]

Definitely weird in the best way! I've seen some pics of these gals over the years but never a full review/close up look like this, so thank you for this video! Really fun :D merry Christmas!

[@Thedollswitness]

My pleasure! Merry Xmas!!❤️❤️

[@cjdolls]

It’s interesting that they are wearing the same jewelry as the superstar Barbie. They are so weird that I really like them

[@Thedollswitness]

Right? Upper class disco? lol ❤️❤️

[@compactgirl]

Happy Christmas eve from California it's just after midnight wrapping gift 😂.

[@Thedollswitness]

Happy holidays!

[@compactgirl]

@@Thedollswitness thank you

[@mensana9740]

They are so adorable!

[@DollsFromTheSwamp]

They didn’t have to go this hard, but they did and I’m here for it, wow I didn’t know these existed amazing video!

[@Thedollswitness]

Thank you!❤️❤️

[@dbransom]

The Hippo reminds me of Meet the Feebles, Heidi the Hippo lol

[@Thedollswitness]

Totally 💯

[@retrogirltoyz3080]

I'm very impressed with these strange / beautiful dolls !! I love amy animal - human hybrid creature . I will look in to trying to acquire the Princess Pig 🐖 thanks for sharing 👍

[@Thedollswitness]

Happy to do it!❤️❤️

[@MelissaLamancusa]

somebody at mattel was smokin the devil's lettuce

[@catalinaquijano6477]

Happy holidays! I remember these in the store Kay Bee Toy and Hobby, I think I was about 8 or 9 and even then, I thought they were so weird! I was not a fan. 😂 I do love the Muppets tho! I preferred my Barbies for sure! 😂 However, I miss Kay Bee Toy and Hobby. Thank you for sharing! You made me dig deep in the memory vault and so it’s so fun!! 😅

[@Thedollswitness]

Nice! Happy to hear that!❤️❤️

[@Thelittlethingsoflife]

Those are so strange and for 1979, pricey. They would be about $26 for the pig and $40 for the hippo today adjusted for inflation.

[@Thedollswitness]

Definitely an interesting point! I think Black Barbie was priced around $9 on a lot of boxes from that year too.

[@ChristopherKelly]

Too funny! I caught myself blowing at my screen when a feather came at me! Cool vid , thanks.

[@oliverocean]

Imagine if we got a series 2 with the boyfriends

[@dollelectrique8436]

Great video.

[@Thedollswitness]

Glad you enjoyed! Thank u!❤️

[@aliciabify]

[@Thedollswitness]

[@thee_junkdrawer]

I LOVE this line of dolls. I have one sitting unopened that I will be unboxing and reviewing soon! 🥰 We need more of these types of doll lines.

[@Thedollswitness]

Nice! Agreed! Love any really odd toy❤️❤️

[@alienmoosestudios]

Hi, new subscriber here 😁 Thanks for sharing this entertaining video ✨🤩✨ Cant wait to check out more content 😀

[@Thedollswitness]

Thanks so much! Glad u enjoyed it!❤️

[@lauriegentry7764]

As an adult in the 70s, when I saw them in the store, my first thought was that the animals used were commonly used to describe curvy women. I didn’t appreciate them as a result.

[@Thedollswitness]

That’s interesting, and it’s definitely true that all four animals are used to describe people in insulting ways. If I had to guess, the dolls’ creation was probably more about Muppet fandom than anything else, but I can see why not everyone would see them that way. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@darrellwallace4182]

This was super fun! I had all these back in the late 90s. I sold them on ebay. They are wonderful because they are weird! We need weird! They are certainly unique. What was the meeting like at mattel that they gave the "okay" for these dolls? I really enjoyed this! Thanks for sharing. I'm sharing this with as many as I can!❤

[@Thedollswitness]

Thanks so much! This was a fun one to make!❤️❤️

[@mjones5153]

You’d think they would have spelt “picture” correctly 😅

[@Marge719]

Weird

[@annland781]

[@MeowMeow_95_]
