I believe the entire purpose of the Dream Besties is to attract those who, like me, aren’t fond of the more ‘realistic’ Barbie face sculpt. I’ve never been a fan of Barbie, but I certainly have my eyes on those.
their faces really remind me of ever after high dolls and one fo the reasons like you said why i like ever after high more than barbie is for the unique and fun face molds
@@staytinyengene I’m convinced that the Besties are a mix and spiritual successor of both Ever After High and My Scene, which, in my opinion, were among the best head sculpts Mattel has ever done.
I’m not typically a fan of the birthday Dolls gimmick, however, I love them is doing a Rapunzel birthday doll. It just makes so much sense with her story that her birthday would be a big deal to her so I might get that one actually because it looks really cool and fun.
I got the Rupaul doll for $50 and honestly the price was the main reason I got her. The detail and quality is definitely there. As I keep saying, these high end "collectors" dolls that Mattel keeps charging $100+ for are WAY overpriced. The fact that so many of these dolls are still available on Mattel Creations and not sold out show the prices are too high.
I have been thinking that mattel should make a line of Barbie's where the dolls are inspired by different styles. Like a y2k popstar, street style, a glamor girl, a mcbling style or an emo or grunge doll. And then on the bakc of the box it can tell you about their style, what it means to them and who they are inside. You know, something cute , cool, and edgy that could stand out and be different or innovative.
My immediate thought when I saw the Rainbow High littles pic was ‘Oh, how the mighty have fallen’. I can’t believe that is the direction they’re choosing to go.
Out of the Dream Besties Brooklyn’s outfit is the most realistic except the shoes , the rest look like Mattel couldn’t decide if their princesses, or actually modern teens.. I’m happy they didn’t use the Barbie sized heads, because if they did there’s no need buying them just by Barbie instead.
If i create a doll line; i would make one based on fantasy creatures like: Phoenix, dragons, centaurs and pegasus. Each doll would come with 3 differents outfits, a brush, cost 30$ and they would have rainbow skin; silver for the pegasus, purple for the dragon, green for the nymph etc. It's like the Monster high dolls but based on creatures instead of monsters. A cool concept 😀
@@ArtTasticCreations I've always wondered the official names for these figures. They're pretty popular in the UK and I always like checking them out when I visit Smiths and I am always blown away by the quality of these things. Like they are propper solid plastic. Like these things are sturdy and they're so detailed in the molding and paintwork. And the dragons, man! Their wings actually move and their often so to their jaws. I've never gotten one because I just don't collect that type of thing but damn if these aren't tempting.
@@kayleighbrown459 I have a fairy and some other figures but I'm planning on getting more because I love them. They are amazing, probably some of the best fantasy toys out there I've seen.
I love the Pixlings❤ I rebodied Amber (the dragon) with Lorna McNessie from Monster High and it’s just perfect. Since I really got into collecting the MH painted faces are rarely still giving for me. Though I got a Cleo G3 (never thought that lol) to have a body for another doll and want to use the head because she‘s so pretty. Maybe I‘ll have enough practice in repainting one day. But the faces of the Pixlings, love them so much. I decided to probably not get Unia, Derlee and Marena (ok maybe they’re on sale now) because the Shimmerverse dolls look so good and I want those version and also the Bear one❤
The dream besties's faces looks nice.Their hairs are cute and the outfits too but the shoes are too simple. Would be cute to see star shoed or a big bow on Teressa's heels to match her clothes. I used to have a Bratz doll with her boyfriend; she had an adorale beret, her clothes were soft and her black vest was pretty. Her hair too plus she had sunglasses, a coffee cup, a purse AND i could removed her foot and put differents shoes. That was fun! I sadly lost her but had nice memories of this doll 🥰
when i look at dream besties all i can think off is ever after high pacifically apple white, cedar wood, briar beauty and raven queen just there face sculps are reminiscent of those characters and what there dolls probably would look like in todays reboot era
6:35 a thought just came to mind that would SERVE In addams family values, Joan Cusacks character Debbie in that spectacular feathery silk robe She was the most beautiful in that movie
I don’t if this could ever be confirmed. But I find it troubling seeing the cheapening quality of playline at Mattel because I feel that it’s a more direct line to landfills. I imagine the toys of Mattel past were more worthy of saving, purchasing at the thrift etc.
The Addms Family dolls are not inspired by the Netflix series but by the animated film that came out a few years ago. The Wednesday dolls from the Netflix series will be released soon
The Lol Tween Mermaid dolls have color changing tails so I think that’s acceptable as a reason why they have a lot of plastic. Also one thing you’ve missed about the dolls is if you look closely at the close up you made in the video, you can see there is a gap in the tail signaling that the tails are articulated and you can actually sit the dolls down or pose them in swimming positions which is a lot more than what can be said if the Barbie mermaid dolls from the past ten years. I hope that little detail makes you more excited for those dolls.
I dunno, I really like the dream besties head mold! I’ve always been way more interested in fantasy-esc dolls than realistic ones. Though I get that the face can be a big decider for a lot of people. I knew I couldn’t really get into bratz cause I didn’t care much for the faces, so I guess it goes both ways.
Apparently I’m literally the only one to notice the hip/tail articulation on the Lol Tween Mermaid dolls. I noticed it immediately as soon as the close up of the dolls appeared on screen.
You have the most perfect personality and sense of humour for this platform. Love your reviews Joey! The new dolls that intrigue me enough to possibly buy are the Brooklyn and Renee dream besties, allllll the new Pixlings, and the Pearla OMG BFF.
im excited for the new barbie line but i HATE the eah looking head molds. the round-pancake look is just so ugly to me and i really do wish they would’ve have more "structured" head molds. the feet also look weirdly tiny to me and i wish they could’ve been more proportionate tbh; something like the mh foot mold would’ve been better.
I actually love the Barbie Dream Besties and the Rainbow High Littles. I have 2 of the Rainbow High Littles at the moment, and they are just so bloody adorable. Will definitely get all of them!
off topic but i got my first disney ariel doll at disney & her red hair feels amazingggg. one of my earliest memories is showing my parents how beautiful ariel’s hair was on a doll as a kid. (my fave childhood movie)
Love your channel and getting up-to-date Doll News! 💖 I love a lot of these, but I am SO over printed details! Unreasonable in 2024 I know, but they are so disappointing! Definitely wish Mattel would step up the quality! LOL and you are so right on those RH littles 😂 they are heinous!
The mermaid tweens are cute imo as a mom to a 3 year old she will like them in the tub. Some of the mermaid dolls have had issues with not being really PLAYABLE in the water. Yes we don’t ever seen to get quality like we did in the 90s and 00s but I still think they look cute and good addition to her things she loves her mermaids in the water
The best part of the Lol Tween Mermaid dolls that Joey hadn’t even noticed is the fact that there is tail articulation at the hips! He’s been complaining for quite some time now how disappointing it is that Barbie has done away with articulation at the hips and tail for mermaid dolls.
Hi Joey! Great review 😎 Love the Dream Besties! Giving Barbie Extra vibes 😁 Will be getting them. I got the Barbie and Ken Fashionista inspired by Totally hair! They are stunning 🤩 The hair is not to the floor but is crimp tastic! May have to get doubles 😁
I wonder if the plastic over cloth clothing is a matter of cost, easier to make a mold for a machine to pop out the plastic clothes vs paying someone to sew the tiny cloth clothes? Someone who works in manufacturing would know better than me, but that's my guess.
As a doll collector who only collects princess Dolls (and 90s Dolls for nostalgia reasons) i think doll makers are concentrating more on todays trends and contemporary fashion ..i really think they should re-do a classic princess line with good quality dresses and detail..last time he saw them was decades ago. And yes Barbies take on rainbow High and Bratz should of had the long trousers and long hair to be more stunning..i dont think they are necissary becsuse of cry baby teens,rainbow high etc but an ok idea.
Lalaloopsy Littles are way better than Rainbow High Littles could ever be! The Dream Besties look like Ever After High mixed with Barbie, which is neat! :)
The package of the Dream Besties says there will be cartoons on TH-cam. So, their style is probably based on the animation of the show and NOT Bratz or LOL OMG.
For next video, rank all the princesses you own(non disney preference) rupunzel has quite a lot of versions please. Thanks ..a 90s girl fan from italy!
I hate how all these companies keep cutting corners! Its so frustrating. I keep saying to my partner im going to make a doll line one day that will have mattel and mga fuming
Your reaction was priceless when you watced/talked about MGA rainbow high littles... i laughed my a§§ off... and i agree... the worst from rainbow high dolls and from mga's dolls i think...ths defa lucy doll withebonjour top and maxi skirt... wrh... i dont want a pièce of clothing with that pattern.. one time on a top its okay but its not fashion at all loll.. and im a french from quebec Canada so...😊
I love Joey's honest reactions. The way he gasped at the plastic top on the Rainbow high mini...I'm screaming 😂
Mattel made mini poly-pocket barbies, and a house and car! I think they are SO CUTE!!

100%

It's so nice to see a TH-camr also hate the Littles so much too ☺️
He artwork is pretty cute, if they looked more like that I would like them. But they are ugly 😅

Mixling Pixling...regular size fashion doll ? I'm interested!!

Oooooo I’d live for that. That’d be so cute
@@JayeKisses fr tho ,it'd be AMAZING 👏 🤩
That wood be AMAZING!!!
LOL I love your reaction to the Rainbow High Littles!! LOL
13:34 Joey your reaction to this doll is hilarious
I’m sorry Brooklyn Barbie looks great! It’s more of a USA look. It’s New York look.
I love how Aurora’s dress is fading from pink the blue like in the movie!
My immediate thought when I saw the Rainbow High littles pic was ‘Oh, how the mighty have fallen’. I can’t believe that is the direction they’re choosing to go.

The Ru Paul doll looks faaaaaabulous!
It’s nice but I think the hair should have been slightly taller and fuller looking.
looks like a demon
9:32
I said “slay” out loud at the exact same moment 😂
We love a high heeled ice skate!
And the Fashion Doll version of the Pixlings?? P L E A S E
Your live reaction to the MESS that is the RH Little so hideous 😂😂😂 I was cackling

Shut up and take all my money.
You should look into Schleich Bayala. They make pretty much every fantasy creature and their molds are amazing.

I agree about the trousers. All of Ken's fashion packs seem to have shorts these days.

Just that thumbnail with that sign over that poor doll🤣🤣🤣🤣 love it
the addams family ones give me child friendly living dead dolls vibes

2:59 it’s Brooklyns hair mostly… like babes what is that 😭

I have a Rapunzel doll from 2012 and her laces are real so it’s sad to see this Rapunzel doll however she still is really cute and higher quality
It sort of looks like a re-hash of 'My Scene'
Ru Paul doll on amazon uk. £59. Just now. Pre order. Release date 14th June.
Apparently I’m literally the only one to notice the hip/tail articulation on the Lol Tween Mermaid dolls. I noticed it immediately as soon as the close up of the dolls appeared on screen.
I’m actually been really looking forward myself to be getting some of those colour and create series 2!

The Addams Family dolls are for the newer animated movies not the Netflix show
7:19 that’s true but I love the layering and it definitely impresses me

I can't wait till the descendants 4 dolls come out

excited for dream besties, teresa sweeps imo!!!
Hello Joey I love your take on history of barbie and her friends. Could you please make a video on the history of the dolls of the world. Love you 🥰

I love Barbie Dream Besties, especially Renee who look like Newjeans member huhuhu kpop+barbie=HAPPINESS
The VIP dolls are very nice! They dont dissapoint , i hav both❤❤.
I LOVE the dream besties they feel very nostalgic for Ever after high to me but with what I loved about Barbie extra
"the bar is really on the floor" 🤣
The Dream Besties line reminds me of My Scene...
I got the rupaul dragon queen and I love her so much ❤

The VIP dolls eyes look cross-eyed to me
The Defa Lucy dolls remind me of Detox. 😂
I’m so excited for new Mattel Besties dolls 🤩🤩🤩🤩
I have Red Romance Barbie
I have no idea why but Barbie Dream Besties is giving me Winx Club wibes. Renee looks like Musa with those pig tails X_X

I would love if Mattel added lgbtq and disabled historical figures to the inspiring woman line for June and July for LGBTQ and disability pride months
Hey, Joy, will you plan to do the review for 2023 Barbie advent calendar? The latest one seems really cute. And I love your advent calendar series❤❤❤❤

I really want the Dream Besties. They're so cute.
13:15 I think EVERYBODY has this reaction by seeing this "thing"... in a slightly more violent way! 🤢😆
Barbie dream Theresa kinda reminds me of every after high briar beauty.
The VIP dolls are a spin off to the vip pets line
barbie fashionistas 2024 you should do for your next video
I think the frozen dolls do look like them in the movies imo 🫢
Love the rupaul doll
these are EAH facesculpt it was first thing come to my head when i sawe them.
Dream Besties seem cute so far, I need to see them to decide though.!
Lalaloopsy Littles are way better than Rainbow High Littles could ever be! The Dream Besties look like Ever After High mixed with Barbie, which is neat! :)

Yes I love all your awesome amazing beautiful channels
Everyone owes Jr Rainbow high a apology. After seeing Littles
the rainbow high little wouldn't have looked THAT bad, if the doll's top was made out of ACTUAL fabric, instead of molded on plastic.
I have so many omg dolls it is un believable I have like 1,000 of them and tons of the little lol dolls and also tons of the tweens dolls too
agreed re: dream besties...wondering if these are new body types and a different size?
Hi Joey
Also the mini barbie land single dolls belong in poundland, not being sold for a fiver each!
Actually, their faces remind me of their Ever After High dolls. Round faces, with big eyes
For next video, rank all the princesses you own(non disney preference) rupunzel has quite a lot of versions please. Thanks ..a 90s girl fan from italy!
TH-cam unsubscribed me 😢 was wondering why I wasnt getting my notifications. Been a subscriber and fan for years.
Another great vid like always < 3

I find it so funny that the sponsor for this video is currently a company that sells bras 😅
How is Brooklyn the only one with a pet… w Mattel for adding less pets
To my mom for Mother’s Day. She loves RuPaul. It’s already sold out what is shame.
No inset eyes- no rainbow high
There are no yellow blonde Ken dolls in Japan😿❤️🩹
I did see that they are making a new frozen and possibly a new Toy Story
I Love Those BARBIE'S!!!!!
LOVE Their Face's..
No plastic ..I Agree....
