What is Mermaze Mermaidz?

[@Man-wolf-]

So fun fact; i at first liked mermaze mermaidz even tho i found the “influencer” aesthetic annoying as hell, still found the mermaid dolls themselves very pretty But then they relased a car toy for a MERMAID , an UNDER THE SEA , doll line and went “okay no thats just crossing the line” And thats the story of how one single doll line made me lose my mind and become enraged over a car

[@ViktorErikFade]

Honestly though, They could have gotten away with it if they just ocean-ified the them Make it a under water shell vehicle pulled by sea horses or something idk

[@Shewhospeakesinverse]

I always find inexplicable cars in action figure n doll lines funny enough tht I'm endeared to them despite them despite my hatred of capitalism n the consumerism n overconsumption marketed towards kids.

Best case scenario, mermaid milk sounds like milk milked by mermaids from some aquatic mammal. Worst case scenario sounds like something I'm not comfortable explaining... It should not exist is what I'm saying.

[@ZephyrinSkies]

@@andriamiya8936 There's flavored milk marketed to kids with popular characters like Disney princesses and Marvel superheroes. I don't think the implication is the milk is produced by the character on the carton, at most it's just themed by colours/flavors if not just a picture slapped on the carton to attract kids' attention.

[@jennynoelle6782]

Probably the most important thing about a mermaid doll is a) articulation (particularly of the tail), b) believability (as in, the tail looks like a tail and not a mermaid skirt), and c) ability to play with it in the bathtub. If a mermaid doll can't at least do two of those, then it fails as a mermaid doll. I had the 2003 Barbie Fairytopia Magical Mermaid dolls growing up, and, aside from the silicone(?) ripping at the knee joints, they held up really well.

[@DeerieMee]

The 2003 Barbie fairytopia ones are also absolutely gorgeous!!!

[@Linnzy]

I still have them. The blue one was the hardest to het and they are all kinda pricey to get now.

[@TheLadyLiddell]

I had all three of those Fairytopia mermaids and I LOVED them. Had them with every bathtime and they held up rather well, considering. The silicone for me started ripping at the hips more than the knees at the end.

[@j3ssthealien283]

Growing up I was a really big fan of mermaids( I used to watch Aquamarine like all the time )but I never got a mermaid doll and it's not like my parents couldn't afford it. but they would see me run up to a mermaid doll look at it and be disappointed when I saw no articulation in the tail.

[@omppul]

Still haven't finished the video, but what I liked about spinmaster's mermaid dolls was that the tails were fabric and removable! These days the mermaid parts are plastic, which is a big bummer usually, but the mermaid high line had them have both water and land forms which was neat! Reminded me of this older barbie mermaid line I had!

[@LocalTorchwoodIntern]

Me too, I never owned one as I don't buy dolls anymore but I genuinely liked the vibes and designs as they reminded me a lot of Blythe and the Lalaloopsy mermaid dolls they did. I would rather have it that I can interchange between Mermaid and human then just a tail unless it was strictly made for water play. Mermaze reminds me of the Great Scarrier Reef dolls from Monster High kind of with the tails at least.

[@plainsarahjane1466]

Interestingly I bought one of the mermaidz dolls for the specific purpose of tearing it apart and rebuilding it. I remember being quite torn about which one to buy at target because I liked that the mermaid high tails were removable and the mermaidz had better articulation.

[@liz_merr1003]

The only mermaze doll i own is Kishiko, since her intricate bubble braids and iridescent jacket were so pretty. But also because shes one of the only ones who's tail could pass as an actual fish tail. I wasn't really a fan of the tails looking like fabric or pants, or the fact that apparently their tails and color schemes can totally change between lines? Personally i would have liked it more if each character's tail was the same every time so you could always recognize them

[@crystalrose2623]

Same. Bought Kishiko only. Her design is kinda cool. But I have no interest in the line as a whole.

[@adrianinwonderland7505]

I actually think Winter Waves (the second line) upped the quality so so much. A stand, nicer clothes, the snow globe tails are legit cool and make the hard plastic tail more “worth the price” in my opinion.

[@WhitneyDahlin]

‼️YES! I definitely want the mermaid high series video!! Also I am a mermaid collector (not just dolls all mermaid merchandise including life-size fins, sculptures, books, the original Disney Little mermaid stuff, etc) and mermaid dolls specifically are some of my favorite things to collect BUT there aren't a lot of them. There just isn't a wide variety of mermaid dolls to choose from so I'm just happy to take what I can get LOL I wish the shows would be less about fashion and generic kids lessons and they really would have taken advantage of the fact that this is a mermaid series and really played into the one unique thing about the show.

[@abigailmaturana741]

oh thats so cool! i hope you dont mind my asking, but do you have an insta where you post photos of your finds?

[@ViktorErikFade]

Your comment makes me think they would have been better off making a fantasy themed movie based off these dolls THEN a TV show So they could really explore that color and light plot that made no sense, if the show wants lore they should really not shy away from it in my opinion and they should just full force should have gone for it instead of making a lukewarm kids cartoon underwater

When those dolls were being released, I really liked them visually and was thinking of getting some, but then I got to touch them in a toy store and they felt so cheap all my warm feeling for this series died. I wish they were better quality cause they look really cool design-wise, with better plastic, some articulation, and maybe more accessories. It's not a bad line, just badly executed.

[@VeronicaStorm98]

Mermaze Mermaidz may be my least favorite MGA line because I feel like they are very overpriced for what they are. The tails don't even have articulation except for on that one very overpriced doll, Orra, who literally has a MOLDED ON TOP, which feels so wrong to me for an expensive MGA doll. They can't even sit down, and the tails feel more gimmicky than quality. The color change gimmick is also weird, because you need to get the tails wet to use the gimmick, but you cannot get the hair or clothes wet without ruining them. I also own Mari from the Mermaid High line, and I feel like that line was better executed and priced than Mermaze Mermaidz. And this may be a bit random, but Nera (the goth doll from the Winter Waves line) specifically saying the words 'prep' and 'goth' reminded me so much of Ebony Dementia Raven Way from My Immortal, and now I cannot unsee or unhear the similarities between those two characters.

Recently I have been drawing and using customization apps to make myself a merperson because I'm genderfluid and if you have a tail, you have no dysphoria down there because everyone has a tail.

Would love to hear you talk about Mermaid High! That's one heck of a train ride. Yeah, Mermaze Mermaids are funky, I own exactly one of them, Kishiko, because she's my fave in the show. This is a weird thing, I do not like the Rainbow High web series, it's just not that great of a plot and the writing could be better. I do like the dolls, but with the price increasing and them coming with less stuff/wave two of Shadow High having some confusing designs, I'm just, kind of falling off of that band wagon. But with Mermaze, I like the web series a lot, but I don't love the dolls. Like yeah, the series could have better writing, but I see it the way you put it in your Pony Life video, this is junk food, something you turn your brain off for and just enjoy for the sheer absurdity of it. At the very least, I'm glad that it has some morals and isn't focused on drama 24/7, especially given the series does seem aimed at younger viewers, like thank you, that's refreshing! So done with the drama plotlines in other series. The lack of articulation doesn't do it for me, and the faces are just, so pouty and tired. Like, in the show they're always smiling and have such a range of expressions, but the dolls are so flat, why?! They have all these cute details but the expression doesn't match. I was blown away but Kishiko's freckles and stars when I saw her up close. Also really don't love the price point, it's not a good deal. I'm with you, the doll community is so confused by who this series is aimed at, it's funky and so mixed. Apparently series 2, all the Winterra characters? Yeah they come with adjustable stands, but not series 1, which is a bummer. I feel like this series won't last and improve, and it's kind of a shame. I'm tired of MGA dominating the doll market, but this has potential as an idea if you tweak the execution. At the very least, PLEASE give us better articulation, it is ridiculous that these dolls can't sit in a classic mermaid pose.

Funny, I watched some of your videos this morning before this one came out! XD As a fan of Mermaid High webseries, I wasn't convincted about Mermaze Mermaidz. I tried to give a chance to the Mermaze Mermaidz series but it is... ABYSSAL!!! I got bored with the first webisode, and same with the rest of the webisodes too. For the dolls, I like a bit the designs of the main line. Harmonique and Riviera are actually my favorites! =) But seriously, the whole concept of Mermaze Mermaidz makes NO SENSE to me: A high fashion doll line with a color change tail - so, for the purpose of playing in the water - BUT with clothes and long hair that can be easily be ruined by water?! (The hair quality doesn't seems good so I can imagine the disaster after playing with the doll in water!) So weird. And for who Mermaze Mermaidz is aimed? To young children? To doll collectors? This is illogical. PS: If you make a video about Mermaid High I hope you'll talk about the concept arts of the unreleased doll lines too. ^^

8:14 ...No, take it seriously and give us a doll line base on weapons and armors! Come on, tell me it wouldn't be cool as hell. Also, yes, you would have to make the one with an axe the guitarist in the band (because of course there would be a band).

Was I the only one screaming at my phone that their tails serve as the doll stand and that the one they got has a tail that can be split at the base so she can stand on her own?

Idk if somebody already pointed it out but you're supposed to use their tail to stand them up. That's why they don't have doll stands, and yes, using the tail joint. It works but looks kind of odd in my opinion. And they're just too pricey for what you get. And I never see them on sale either.
