Just to be clear: nobody LIKES the pixelated screening. We are willing to endure it for a beautiful doll. Big difference. We should absolutely fight the pixelated screening every step of the way, Mattel needs to know we don’t enjoy garbage.
lmfaooooo the title and thumbnail killed me!! Yes she's so gorg the pixelation is the only problem, and oh so we all addicted to those mini fashion capsules? lol
I am addicted to the Zuru mini fashion balls. I am living for the shoes and jewelry. The sneaker balls are not quite as awesome, I wish the sneakers had real laces, for one thing, and I am not living for the hats that come with those sets.
@@Jy84_ ☺️ aww that means so much to me to read. now that I have Minimothy’s apartment set up again I may do one soon. But we will see. A lot going on.
@@timothystoytherapy anytime I will be patiently waiting, I know life can throw a wrench at you sometimes. I have a baby now find it difficult to go to my hobbies at times 🤗
Congratulations on getting the Odile mermaid and I hope you get the other one soon. I'm really looking forward to getting both. They should be in England soon 🤞
No no no no Rubbertail! That shit breaks to easy. If you want that they use it for the newish Ariel Doll with the Color Change feature. A good Articulation in a Mermaid Doll where the 2023 Ariel Sister Pack. I would love that for Barbie and her Friends.
I think this time they looked acceptable as pixelface exactly because of what you were mentioning on the video, they are using all the perks the method have on top of already pretty looking faces, the gradient also makes the surface to have more depth, which in turn makes the pixelation on her lips for example more like a frostlip instead of a pixelated paintjob, because you don't have a clear cut line and a flat color that makes the pixelation like an eyesore on top of the design, I think that someone on higher ups indicated this method to Angel Kent so he probably decided to design a screening that could use the method's strenghts to the max, considering this was the first launch of the odile headsculpt (which he designed or at least she debutted on a doll he designed) on playline
It is now standard that collectors take a deep breath before opening a Mattel Barbie hoping the doll is not pixelated or wonky eye. I put up with it because of the variety of faces and skin tones…I fall in love with faces pixelated or not. Fortunately, like you, I am artistic enough to repaint the doll.
FYI: Black bag came with Combat boots. I got this in my Amazon 2 pack as well. Was so excited. White fabric bag came with orange wrap around shoes and a "straw" hat, with hounds tooth glasses
Just a suggestion. Maybe some of you guys can USE the pixelated screening? Like make a custom character that's inspired by pixel art and 8 bit video games? Pop the heads off and re-body them on Ever After High dolls
Pixelated Odile is all over IG and people are like "She's perfect! No, it's not pixels, her makeup is made of mermaid dust, it makes her more magical!" 😂😂
So many people are getting so excited over this doll the same way they did over the cheap looking barbie movie dolls. From a business point of view, Mattel can keep producing low quality junk and they are golden. I don’t buy play line anymore and a pixelated cheap Barbie is okay for young kids but it goes over my head why adult collectors are loving this cheap doll.
This thumbnail!!!😂 I thought to myself...have l missed this K Drama? Is it a clip from 1995 Soap Operas? I want to watch season two of this thumbnail 😂🤣
It’s been a few weeks and she’s still not showing up anywhere. I just want the one with the lilac hair, closed mouth. But honestly, I have no clue what’s happening. She’s been sold out online for six weeks now.
Are the US retailers regretting not ordering the open mouth Odile now that there is such a clear demand for both of them?! 😠🙄 I guess I'll keep checking Walmart 😩😭
I love the Zuru Mini Fashions....even if u get doubles, I don't mind. 2 dolls can have the same boots. It's the only ones I want & haven't got yet is the tall brown boots.
I got the pink one in France, she is gorgeous. I love her moulded top, it reminds me of mermaidia in the 2000s. It's beautiful. I think the orange of her tail is a bit too bright though. I also really wish she had articulation in the tail, how amazing it would be. I think they sent all the pink in Europe and kept the lilac in America because I can't find the lilac anywhere here, not in my local shop, and not on Amazon either Maybe we just need to be patient. Let's see
Hi I just bought 2 days ago Sun Lovin Barbie doll 1978 with the tan lines she didn't have the bathing suit instead she had a Barbie Original Outfit vblue and green halter pant suit for $2.50
This video is so much fun. Thanks as ever for your uploads. Ps any idea of where your British friend who reviewed Action Man, Barbie and Star Wars has gone? He’s adorable and I wanted to see you guys trade again
I mean I'm happy to buy a beautiful doll with pixel face for playline price. But keep that in playline, it has no place in signature. But I think we all know if we had the choice between DIJ and normal tampo most people would choose the latter. DIJ can be so inconsistent too, some dolls look grainy but acceptable and some are too grainy and you can even see later lines. I hate DIJ on lips the most cause they don't blend in as well as with the eyes, it is what it is, all things considered if you're a little crafty you CAN paint over and trace the screening with acrylic paints of the pixel annoys you too much. But with Mattel continuing to cut costs for 2024, I feel like DIJ will become way more common in playline...
I wish you could cheat with the mini brands fashion too bc I honestly just want that chain belt with the accompanying purse and those red puffer shoes and maybe those combat boots lol I don’t really care for anything else though they are cute lol

I don't mind resin printing when it's done better than what Mattel has done on Barbie faces. They are doing her dirty.
LMAO! The thumbnail!!!
I DIED 💀😝🤣
Pixelated is ok at $10. I wouldn't pay more.
It depends on what doll ur getting
The thumbnail summarized EXACTLY how I feel, and I mean exactly. 😂💀 She’s such a gorgeous doll and I will definitely be picking her up at some point.
lmfaooooo the title and thumbnail killed me!! Yes she's so gorg the pixelation is the only problem, and oh so we all addicted to those mini fashion capsules? lol

Thanks for sharing this doll and the alert about the next wave of The Barbie Look dolls.
Tiffany approves of the red and gold bag
Miss your videos ❤❤❤

She’s really cute 😊 I really want the Odiles. I don’t have any dolls with that face mold.
i was hoping that you would put the red glasses on Tiffany. Lol
i think they would look really cute with her outfit.
I concur!
I’ll have to try it I’m sure it would!

I love this doll! I've been waiting so long for her to come out. I finally got mine a few days ago but it took like 3 weeks from Amazon. ❤❤❤
🤗♥️🤗♥️🤗 I got the pink mermaid Barbie doll in my collection unfortunately I could not get the purple one at the mermaid Barbie doll
The blue soled tennis shoes I believe come with the Royal blue bag. The orange sandals come with the beige tote
Unpopular opinion: Pixelated is personally pretty on any doll cause it makes the doll kinda shimmery 🫡🫡🫡
Pixels are fine for a $7-10 doll. Anything more than that, I'm side-eying lol
You can put a little ball of tissue paper in the shoes so they fit properly and you can tuck the tissue so you don’t see it sticking out .
Just a suggestion. Maybe some of you guys can USE the pixelated screening? Like make a custom character that's inspired by pixel art and 8 bit video games? Pop the heads off and re-body them on Ever After High dolls
She is pretty

Amazing mermaid❤ Thanks for the review❤
The square frame glasses would be perfect for an Anastasia doll (the singer!!!)
I feel like I'm the only Barbie Collector on the planet that just does not care about this face mold or mermaid doll.
The hat is awesome,actually.

Play line or not, the pixelation is completely unexplainable to me.
Just get old like me or don't clean your glasses - pixels no problem! lol
Here in Romania we only received the other 2 mermaids in this line... Awful. I love your thumbnail, it's what made me click on it 😂
Some of these high heels from Mini Fashions fit the IT FR doll feet. These blind balls are hard to resist!
I back ordered her Jan 27, and got notified mine arrives Sunday Feb 25. I'm so excited she shipped. Her body has been waiting. Lol.
Yes I'm part of the problem. Yes I bought these mermaids. But still I say no to pixels so repainted they got!
There is a doll dealer here in Australia taking pre orders for these 2 dolls for $79. Can't find them anywhere else here yet.
Are the US retailers regretting not ordering the open mouth Odile now that there is such a clear demand for both of them?! 😠🙄 I guess I'll keep checking Walmart 😩😭
Here in Sweden I got Odile with open mouth and she is still available at Amazon.....
I love the Zuru Mini Fashions....even if u get doubles, I don't mind. 2 dolls can have the same boots. It's the only ones I want & haven't got yet is the tall brown boots.

2:36 Where is this picture from? I'm curious as to how did we get some more insight to how the screening for dolls is formatted and designed 😭
It’s from minh tam nguyen’s instagram
Maybe Angel Kent is so valued they give him leeway. He does a great job and saran hair! No sign of her sister ...

Ps any idea of where your British friend who reviewed Action Man, Barbie and Star Wars has gone? He’s adorable and I wanted to see you guys trade again
Do you think that she's a perfect match for the purple top MTM doll?
Couldn’t the Barbie Looks model 3 be a decent match for her too?
You guys make me wanna buy her now after seeing everyone freak out over her and I am not happy supporting Mattel with this bs.
Most will rebody and that will add to initial cost of 10.
What did you do with the other two dolls? Did you return them?
I did yes

This thumbnail cracked me up!
The bags & shoes are also copies of real high end fashions too, kind of like Rainbow High did.
thumbnail made me cackle. I’m traveling so I can’t watch but had to tell you
At my area got 4 of them ❤❤❤
The Odile dolls get a pass with the pixelation 🫢
I wish you could cheat with the mini brands fashion too bc I honestly just want that chain belt with the accompanying purse and those red puffer shoes and maybe those combat boots lol I don’t really care for anything else though they are cute lol
Crossing all my fingers that i can get my greasy mitts on both Odiles before they're discontinued 😭
Anyone: who is the head on June's left on the shelf behind him? Please and thank you.
She is the hbc stripes Barbie !
@@BarbiesGBF omg I need to free mine from the box and restyle her then.
The fact that instagram comment about that doll not showing up in Brazil is my comment hahahah mom I'm famous hahahahha
28:35 yep not only did you say it... the closed captions used your exact words :)
