People shit on Fashionistas a lot but they truly have some beautiful base dolls. I love the obvious diversity in skin tone, size, shape, etc but also the subtle differences like the nuances in nose, chin, etc sculpts. I would’ve liked Barbie a lot better if she were this diverse when I were a kid!
The purple neckline material on Fashionistas #207 is a 2x2 rib! I was shocked to see it since Mattel has only been finishing things with the overlocked hems or raw edges for SO long, looks like they are finally investing the budget into different finishes again!
I found this quite informative. I might purchase a couple. I like the Shani because she reminds me of Totally Hair Teresa. It would be nice for the play line dolls to have some articulation again. I'd be happy with the elbow and knee joints that the Cutie Reveal line have.
The doll with the "Greek" face sculpt looks South Asian to me and I love that about her. There aren't many South Asian fashion dolls on the mainstream market. I love the new petite curvy body type. I hope they make a tall curvy as well.
I kept thinking I was hearing you wrong when you said "no pixelation" and "saran hair". I'm happy to see an improvement, and it will get me buying some Fashionistas again. The Shani mold is my favourite in the group, but I also like the Down Syndrome doll, the Greek mold, and the prosthetic Ken.
I love the sweet Down Syndrome doll. Thank you for sharing some off your experiences with these dear people. You are a sweetheart 🖤 great info as usual! 📝
Also for anyone wondering Barbie fashionista #206 can use the wheelchair mtm body( I used #165). It basically is the same skin tone. It might be slightly more tan I still can’t tell honestly. It looks the same after you add freckles. From what I’ve been told any Millie mtm original bodies will work. The volleyball mtm barbie is a perfect match skin tone wise, but it’s a tall body. Again, I think they may be the same color, but they do work very well for the Shani doll or #206.
#206 is so pretty, I have her in my Amazon wish list. I finally received my #208 and love her so much. I named her Hope. When I was a kid, my school took us on a field trip to a handicapped school, and it was the first time I was exposed to Down syndrome kids. The school taught them a trade, and I thought it was neat, and since then, every time I see someone with Down syndrome, I always engage and talk with them . They are so sweet and friendly. They retain that child like innocence that adults sometimes lose as they grow up. Loved the video and reviews on dolls.
aww i love them!! if i could i would buy them 🥺 the open mouth kens are adorable, so good to have this variant! 206 and 207 are on my list they look lovely. i really do wish we got more articulation for them. 207 looks south asian and makes her more beautiful to me
Mattel level up a little bit for the new fashionistas... Especially the clothes, it not paper texture and the less pixelation. Hoping Carlyle decide to use some of ken fashionistas head mold that only once produce
So Carlyle’s influence is behind these more interesting dolls…Thanks for the info you bring on these sculpts. Every single one you talked about peaked my interest except the smiling blonde Ken. He’s too bland. You are so right about this wave. Why oh why can’t we have more articulation? And what’s up with those ridiculous straight limbs? No human I know walks like that.
To be honest, I'm most interested in #194 (I wish she would come without the wheelchair) followed by #195 (I wish she would come without the wheelchair too) and number #198 ... maybe #199.
I want to get the Down Syndrome and Shani face ones. I want to make the Shani one's hair have even more crimps. I just bought Looks doll 10. I like Intergrity Toys dark skin dolls but don't want to pay over $100. She's a much cheaper alternative. Also got Tamika from the Looks line. My first petite I got her mainly because I have all these extra Rainbow High clothes.
Why did you use the lipstick lesbian flag 17:03? She’s intended to be a Lebanese Barbie not a lesbian Barbie. Lebanon is a country in the Middle East. 😅
I'm not going to lie, the zipper was amazing, but when I worked at a toy store, they would always fall since we did not hang them on the walls, they were terrible to put on shelfs, and I think it has to do with it.

I love fashionistas. I wish they came on articulated bodies.
“Photo has been deleted” cracked me up thank u
I still think that the Barbie Fashionistas between 2010 and 2012 were the pinnacle of the doll line.
If only they released a new wave with the same diversity but the style and aesthetic of the original waves...
Hi!! Just in case, Dollar Tree has the fashion doll zippered bags!! Looks very similar and comes w 2 hangers!! JS..I love Barbies too!!💗💗

I would love too see a Trichelle as a fashionistas that would be great. Im loving this line

All the new Fashionistas are so amazing. Unfortunately, I really miss the zipper packaging even though I like the artwork of the dolls.
Less plastic in the world
Thank you for your reviews. We need dolls with prosthetic arms too. I love your channel. 😊

Im hoping they bring back the so in style face sculpts too

I also have Down Syndrome Barbie, and she's the main character in my Barbie & Friends series. She's great.

the outfits are on point fr!
If you need zipper bags like the ones fashionistas used to come in, head to your local dollar tree. They have something similar.
I’m dying to find 210 in stores. I think she’s gorgeous and I wish a collector would take down her hairs so we can see.
This was great! Been hoping and looking forward to you reviewing these! Love getting your thoughts! Very fun, insightful video! 😃👌🏾
I love the Shani too. It's nostalgic. I have the Soul Train Shani's.
Ps Fashionista #210 has the prettiest clothes (in my opinion). She is too cute. I like her hair also.
Mattel actually putting budget back into Barbie 👀
Your Barbie collection is everything. We wish you well.
Always glad to see you upload!
The leg braces on the barbie with Down Syndrome are called AFOs.
I love this wave Fashionistas!!!
#207 looks just like me down to the beauty mark and I’m so glad I found one that looks indian.
GBF, I loved this video. I cannot wait for the Summer Wave of Barbies.
Mattel level up a little bit for the new fashionistas... Especially the clothes, it not paper texture and the less pixelation. Hoping Carlyle decide to use some of ken fashionistas head mold that only once produce
I actually only bought the Millie. She had awesome shoes. Might purchase that second ken you talked about…. He is cute….
That's the reason I want that Millie. The shoes.
207 is my favorite
I think blue eyes are gorgeous...like the sky

🤗😍🎈🔥❤🎈 I love all fashion Easter Barbie dolls 2023🎉🎉
I took a shot of patron every time you said “skin tone”….. I GOT HAMMERED!
I recently returned to barbie doll collecting, and I'm glad to have Down Syndrome Barbie in my collection after putting off buying her.
To be honest, I'm most interested in #194 (I wish she would come without the wheelchair) followed by #195 (I wish she would come without the wheelchair too) and number #198 ... maybe #199.
that package can be made into a doll shower..
I’m so happy I found you ❤❤❤
6:49 lembra um dos figurinos da Beyoncé na nova turnê dela. So que na versão azule e laranja.
Man now I want 206 just for all of her accessories
super pretty !!! Thank you for showing these dolls, I think the down syndrome doll is beautiful and sweet I am so happy they made this doll!!!
❤❤❤
What I notice about this wave is that there is a significant number of dolls representing Indian ethnicities.
Feels like 🎉it!
I don't know why you say your dolls have "wonk eye." They looked perfect to me. I just got the new smiling tanned Ken. He is a cutie.
So Jealous of Your Barbie Collection, Its Great Too See You ❤❤ up load I Frickin ❤ All of your Dolls
The only one I might be interested in s the "greek sculpt" one.
Not gonna lie I thought the freckles on the first one were dirt. oops.

This is off topic. Omg where did you get the shoes for June?
It’s been so long I wish I knew!
I love the Down Syndrome Barbie and I love that they made her so gorgeous. Thank you for your lovely sensitive review.
Why did you use the lipstick lesbian flag 17:03?
She’s intended to be a Lebanese Barbie not a lesbian Barbie. Lebanon is a country in the Middle East. 😅
I think ken 212 has one eyebrow upper than the other eyebrow. but he is very cute.
