Thanks for giving such negative reviews on the Hocus Pocus dolls. It's really helped the actual collectors be able to get them. I was afraid I had missed out but they still were available at 12:30! Thanks so much!
Just to note about the face molds: the Fashion Frontier (space cowboy) Barbie has the Karl mold, not Odile. I’m someone who really likes the Odile mold,but I don’t want to see it on all collector dolls because it has a slightly cartoonish look. It’s great for fantasy dolls.
And the fairy they mentioned is a Millie, not Odile. Which just goes to show further that it's not only the mold, but also the design of the face up that's important.
@@letmein1230ify Absolutely! Some dolls with the same mold can look totally different. I think one reason Mille is hated so much is that she is often pixelated. I think the technology has improved somewhat because The Littler Mermaid dolls did not bother me that much, but collector dolls should be done the old way.
@@letmein1230ifythat part! Every face sculpt has potential with the right screening. The Millie hate is not about the sculpt itself, it’s about the same tired screening they insist on using
I have been into more high end doll collecting and that helps curb my spending (ironically) who knew spending $$$ on a high quality doll and not buying much of anything else would help ease my need for doll. Started selling a bit of my collection as well because I just want to curate what I really like and want vs. what I don't quite care for anymore.
Kids ( only speaking for myself & cousin I played Barbies with)...kids like a pretty face sculpt too ! And variety. They don't want the same blonde & blue eyed Millie with every playset.
Another thing i have been, seeing is that at Ross or Family Dollar there putting Rainbow high dolls with the great, quality back on shelves at some certain locations depending on where you live. i had found Meena and Coco and Lila at the Family Dollar the other day which was random.
I actually feel there's a lot of good dolls lately. The Barbie Pink Gala, The Juan_____( forgot name) Odile Mexican doll, Wednesday dolls, Bratz Mean Girls, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy ( except body suit), MH Wave 1 Creepos ! I don't have any wave 1, so I'm so excited for those !
Hi guy's I'm so happy, to see u back again with the podcast I've missed seeing this in general. I have felt the doll drought for G3 Monster High but watch it pick up again. I have an idea for Johnny look into reading interactive stories, from Choices app it's all animated stories but u can create your main character name it, and it has great soundtracks. Stories I recommend u read are It Lives, Endless Summer, Blades Of Light & Shadow. There all great stories. I still customize and redesign some G3 characters but I also read some interactive stories. Also u guys forgot to talk about the, mean girl dolls done by Bratz but it was great seeing you guys again until next time.
OMG I thought it was just me going through a doll drought. I moved into Tamagotchi a little while back, it started out as just a nostalgia trip back to the 90's until I realised that new devices are still being released to this day. Like you guys, I will never leave the doll world but my collecting for them has slowed down.
Welcome back!🎉 Dolls dolls everywhere but not a babe to buy. The doll drought is real for me because so many are coming out, but I dont have the budget. Plus, some of the quality is lacking. Also, I think i read that mga just lost a 71 million dollar case for L.O.L. im gonna hold tight to my lols. I dont think they are going to be around long.
I think with Monster High Mattel never understood and produce too much dolls. They don't focus too much on the quality. I'm so tired of getting one doll with too much plastic stuff(G3). Even the pets they are not rubber they are hard plastic.I preffer the budget ones at least they don't have too much. Sculltimate secrets i like but i'm not sure if i want so many lockers and useless keys. Can they leave Frankie's robot leg alone,especially in Monster Fest why is short?
I have not yet broken up with Barbie but we are not as close as we once were. Rainbow High and LOL and I are done. Monster High and I still are dating. I have pivoted to Calico Critters/Sylvanian Families.
Y'all also had me talking out loud, agreeing with or defending. This was so fun and engaging. Love everyone's backgrounds, love the fact the whole screen is filled (doll pics into empty space next to the blonde speaker ((Cloe?)). Hi, Barbie!! 👋) Sorry I don't know everyone's names yet! This will change as I am finna binge your content.
I just rewatched the doll awards for 2023 and it got me excited for the 2024 awards . I didn’t realize y’all start working on it so early and I didn’t realize we get to vote but I can’t wait.
The Noonoouri dolls are ai. They are based on an ai character that is on TH-cam and many people follow her. I’m not into them and don’t want an ai doll. I like the Cowgirl Barbie; she’s really pretty. I still want some monster high, and am hoping for better rh dolls soon. I miss the beautiful rh dolls we used to get 😢
im so happy you guys are back and im really excited for season 2! i too haven’t been into collecting as heavily and am more picky about things these days. i’ve gotten into reading manga and that’s been my kind of replacement haha. though, the upcoming mean girls x bratz collab i am excited about as well as the “us” skullector dolls as that is one of my absolute favorites and i hope the dolls look good !!
I mean, the Sanderson Sisters are Monster High Skullectors vs. Replica dolls of the actual characters. I think thats what they delivered… Just like all the others not being exact replicas, like Beetlejuice, Chucky/Tiff, Dracula, literally everyone of the whole lineup. So the shorter MH skirts, the heels, etc are all the things I would expect and has always been the precedence for this skullector line. I agree the print dresses don’t look the best in the line, but its also the first 3 pack, (so budget is stretched) and at the price point of about $40 per doll, I think we won with what we got. Im stoked for them & glad I nabbed one before the sell out. 🤷🏻♂️
I have also been feeling the doll drought. I haven’t really been excited for much of anything that’s come out lately. I did purchase the tribute to fashion Barbie that just came out. I thought she was stunning and I am very excited about the BratzxMeanGirls collab that is coming. Otherwise, I haven’t been super enthusiastic over any releases from Mattel or MGA.
Those Barbie collaboration dolls are really scary to look at. Their eyes are really round and wide open. They look like voodoo dolls, there to steal your soul. Lol.
Since I only collected rainbow high, I caught up on all the old dolls. I own every single one up to the first color create dolls, I won’t be getting the new reboot dolls unless they go super on sale and I’ll rebody them. But Since even the show is unwatchable now and that was my favorite thing to do was watch the cartoon and I was in a very sad funk for a while… like a few months I was kinda depressed by it but then out of the blue I rewatched Over The Garden Wall and I’m like obsessed. Started making an Over the garden wall wreath for my door, so I’m back into crafting and I decorated for Halloween weeks ago. I’m in a super fall mood! Wanna do some spooky stuff since we haven’t since before covid. Also I’ve been watching lots more anime and I’ve been enjoying it! I wanna make some custom rainbow high dolls of some favorite anime characters now. 😌
The Hocus Pocus dolls look like that because that’s where we are with G3. They are all too bright, too saturated, too pretty. G3 is better than G2, but still not great. These Sanderson Sisters dolls look great… for G3. Not great for Monster High dolls.
I think there are quite a few "good" dolls coming this fall, but I think that a combination of increased prices and the glut of dolls over the past few years has left collectors feeling somewhat "full" (and maybe poor). Now that I have purchased over 300 dolls in the past 4 years, it's taking more to hook me enough to make a purchase.
I wouldn't much rather see fashion packs that are good quality for Barbie like they did years ago when they first started. I rather have one Barbie and great quality pieces to change her in then a whole bunch of cheap fashion dolls
I'm surprised you guys haven't talked about all the retro dolls coming out from The Loyal Subjects. This year, they've come out with Strawberry Shortcake and Rainbow Brite and next year is gonna be Jem and the Holograms!
Monster High, I wonder if they do get out a big screen movie, like the rumors have suggested may happen, that it does well, so a larger budget can be put into MH too....Like you said about the Barbie movie.
If you wanna collect Pokémon cards but don't wanna spend money on it, there's an app coming out at the end of October called Pokemon TCG Pocket. Idk if you HAVE to play the actual card game against other people to keep collecting cards...but its free lol. I'm fine with a bit of a doll drought lol...although is there gonna be any Bratz product intended for the winter holiday season?? The only doll I'm currently looking forward to is if Mattel puts out a G3 Gil Webber :(... I love his design on the show.
I actually really loved that MH morticia and wish that she came by herself Hearing someone buy her and not even totally love her makes me annoyed I'm gonna be honest.
@@alittleoddme1940 no unfortunately we had a leak in the house, had less than 12 hours to move everything. Been hectic 😆 at least I got to clean through everything. So happy we are back to filming episodes!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's unimpressed with the Hocus Pocus dolls. They look so cheap. And while I like the Poison Ivy doll it really does look like her outfit pattern is AI generated. Like how hard is it to draw a leaf?
I’m certainly really sad that Monster High is laser cut/ surged hems and plastic belts/harnesses that don’t fit and thigh high boots. On every singe doll
I feel bad for those big Hocus Pocus fans 😢, I like the movie, but wasn't planning on the dolls anyway, but for those that have been wanting them for a long time...sucks if they don't like them. I dont like the dresses either. Not Witchy, just childish cartoons.
So happy to be back! 🖤
Yay!!
Thanks for giving such negative reviews on the Hocus Pocus dolls. It's really helped the actual collectors be able to get them. I was afraid I had missed out but they still were available at 12:30! Thanks so much!
Barbie Space Cowgirl ( Western Frontier ) is a Karl face sculpt. And the Pink Gala doll is Odile face sculpt...in case ya'll wondering. 😊
Just to note about the face molds: the Fashion Frontier (space cowboy) Barbie has the Karl mold, not Odile. I’m someone who really likes the Odile mold,but I don’t want to see it on all collector dolls because it has a slightly cartoonish look. It’s great for fantasy dolls.

Surprisingly , they do not knows sheets... you know....

I swear most times it seems like Mattel employees are on some psychedelic trip and then they describe what they see and then put it on fabric

I’ve been collecting Miniverse for two plus years now. I just put my rainbow high dolls in dioramas with the miniverse items.
Barbie has been releasing some really good stuff lately. Especially the collector dolls! You guys are so unimpressed it’s surprising to me.
@@Staggerleet the one that just released in hot pink with the fur stole for $50 really nice

Nooooo in one year we’re still gonna love Odile❣️❣️❣️❣️ she needs to be the Millie replacement across the board 💖💖💖
Ive been hunting for second hand deals more than anything new off of the shelf

They are ai dolls based on that ai character which a man created and she is on TH-cam

Definitely giving Setla Brown

Lol you guys got a lot of the doll face sculpts wrong. Odile face sculpt was not used on the space cowgirl nor the upcoming fairy doll.
omggg please talk about the wicked dolls!!!! they are so so gorg irl, I need to know your guys thoughts on them!!! love u guys sm and love the pod!
I'm surprised you guys haven't talked about all the retro dolls coming out from The Loyal Subjects. This year, they've come out with Strawberry Shortcake and Rainbow Brite and next year is gonna be Jem and the Holograms!
Those dolls are cute.I got the Rainbow Brite and Plum Pudding. The Plum Pudding is one of my favorites I bought this year.
I'm in my Squishmallow era 😅
Lol surprise is also getting cancelled unfortunately :(
We need new gothic dolls like if anyone remember begoths I miss them
Monster High, I wonder if they do get out a big screen movie, like the rumors have suggested may happen, that it does well, so a larger budget can be put into MH too....Like you said about the Barbie movie.
If I could make a suggestion for Chloe, I would say maybe you could start reading yourself some smut. Some authors are better than others. Lol.
If you wanna collect Pokémon cards but don't wanna spend money on it, there's an app coming out at the end of October called Pokemon TCG Pocket. Idk if you HAVE to play the actual card game against other people to keep collecting cards...but its free lol.
I'm fine with a bit of a doll drought lol...although is there gonna be any Bratz product intended for the winter holiday season??
The only doll I'm currently looking forward to is if Mattel puts out a G3 Gil Webber :(... I love his design on the show.
I actually really loved that MH morticia and wish that she came by herself
Hearing someone buy her and not even totally love her makes me annoyed I'm gonna be honest.
I don't know if it's just me but I think the Harley Quinn one is the worst one
Fyi the new fairy uses the millie facemold
The NooNooRi dolls are based on an AI influencer. Very Stetla Brown haha
Don't hate on the Millie face mold it's a classic there is enough variety for everyone
What are your thoughts on Disney Doorables Adorbs dolls? They are really a surprise in terms of quality and details.
Hocus pocus is cute.
I love playing Pokemon go! Totally get it and I'm only excited for the Wicked dolls. That's about it
This is why you didn't have your bead show on whatnot your back here ❤
@@alittleoddme1940 no unfortunately we had a leak in the house, had less than 12 hours to move everything. Been hectic 😆 at least I got to clean through everything. So happy we are back to filming episodes!

Fashion frontier? No one knows the name?
Poison ivy is green just repaint her
🤗🖤♥️🎃🔥🍁🍂🎈🧜🏻♀️
Are you ever excited??
Im disappointed with the mh sanderson sisters, they too cute
Look who some of these kids parents are when they grew up lol
I’m certainly really sad that Monster High is laser cut/ surged hems and plastic belts/harnesses that don’t fit and thigh high boots. On every singe doll

You all 3 do not collect fashion royalty?
I’m giving up on mattel…moose toys are better quality and phenomenal customer service!
I gave up on MGA. I only bought last years releases on clearance.
@@iamsoverybored878 yeah. Too bad! I mean, at least there are other options for toy companies
Monster high's vibe is more childish now it started with G3
