I was the designer for Mattel's Hannah Montana dolls. I specifically picked the Diva head to serve as Lily/Lola. I love that doll head! She looks very smart-aleck-y to me and that's why I like it. Thanks for mentioning her here.
I think I like the BMR fashion more as individual pieces more than the whole outfits. Like the bucket hat, the pants, and even the shirt could go really well with other items of clothing rather than mish-mashing them all together to make this abomination of an outfit. Same with most of the other bmr fashion doll outfits. Great video!
I'm so please to find out that I'm not the only one to find BMR 1959 fashion look absolutely ghastly... I love the dolls and the innovative characters moulds but what they are wearing as always put me off collecting them. Love this review BTW.
I hope you'll do more of these All About: segment, loving it. I'd like to nominate the 2005 Barbie sculpt(according to Kattis Dolls), she replaced GG as the default Barbie till the latter made a comeback with the articulated Fashionistas line. I don't think the sculpt was ever used in anything else.
I'm excited about these series! Will you make a video about Kira facemold? She used to be my least favourite among Barbie's friends. I always felt like she got double chin until my instagram friend told me it's all because of bad screening, sometimes lips are printed above where they supposed to be so it makes her looking double-chined and weird. With a good print and nice make-up she looks beautiful!
Great video... I learned a lot! I think a retrospective on the Steffie face would be fun (hoping when the Malibu Barbie set comes out this year, that Malibu PJ ... with theSteffie Face 💗is included) And also hoping Mattel doesn't fail with the face screening.
Mine too. She's just pretty. Even with some of the questionable makeup applications through the years she's still pretty. Also, as a fan of the closed mouth dolls, the Steffie mold might be the best ever!
A great start to a new series!! If I could recommend sculpts, I'd definitely want to see you talk about Kira, Christie and Teresa. I think those sculpts have alot of nostalgic value but have proved the test of time in modern dolls.
I really love this video!!! I’m just fascinated, by the knowledge of the different face sculpts, that some people have. I much prefer Midge, with the Steffie face, she has, in Life in the Dream House. Ugh....that BMR line....many of the fashion was a hot MESS!!! That’s why I couldn’t pay $30 for them. Even $20 is pushing it, since i only want the MTM body. Looking forward to watching your series.
I have the Wedding Party Midge and she looks like a jitter bug lol.....I love red hair so she always fascinated me. thanks for your hard work getting this video together for our enjoy and education. I feel like you just leveled up again. haha
I loved this video! Great job with the background and videos. Fun research. Now that you said it. I didn’t like this face sculpt and I remember having that rocker doll. While a majority of my dolls were blonde I am glad to see how the line has diversified. While this face sculpt is not my favorite… the treatment the Native American doll using this face sculpt is the best. Her buckskin dress is lovey and reminds me of the Cherokee tribe. I loved the Navajo Barbie. My best friend he is from that tribe and is gorgeous. I passed on this BMR but got the man bun ken and he was a favorite.
I have a soft spot for the Diva head mold. I had Dance Club Kayla and the Wedding Midge Bride from 1990 and those were too of my favorites growing up. I also bought the BMR doll with the Diva head mold and she is so beautiful, especially with her hair down and a new outfit (of course).
My favorites are the Karl, Steffie, and Louboutin facemolds, but honestly, I'm here for you telling us about any Barbie history at all. You could even go back to the very beginning with the...I think it might be called Nostalgic facemold? Whatever they've been using for Silkstones.
I think my favorite version of the Diva facemold is not only the BMR 1959 doll but the Happy Family Midge dolls! I always wanted the Happy Family Midge doll as a kid but the dolls were pulled pretty quickly after the controversy with the pregnant Midge.
I actually like the Diva mold when it’s used on Midge. She just looks so good! My favorite Midge dolls all have this mold and I think Wedding Day is the best looking one of all.
Her head sculpt has never been my favorite and I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one! The Happy Family Midge doll has also appeared very odd and honestly ugly to me and I’ll never understand why they’re in such high demand in the Barbie community…
her face mold was one i wasnt much of a fan of (for the same reasons you mentioned) but i have gotten an appreciation for her now thanks to this. native american barbie looks darling
the intro was really freaking cute and silly pfft i love it (also do you have more videos of this about the face molds? there doesnt seem to be a playlist so im not sure)
I’ve become huge collector of the Laura head sculpt. There’s something about it I just love the look of it. I find it to be very classic but diverse at the same time.
Barbie and the Rockers is one of my favorite Barbie lines, next to Peaches n Cream and my first doll, Malibu. The Rockets all hold a special place in my heart.
I hardly had any Barbies. But my first and main one was Diva from Barbie & the Rockers. It was the second release one with the toned down makeup, and neon green earrings.
I have any Diva-Facemold dolls. The native america from the DOTW line is in my collection, also a second on. but the one in your video is one of my favourite dolls. I have a Inliner Midge and a Ski Fun Midge with the facemold. The BMR, the mermaid, the Barbie Basic, the Happy Family Midge and the Sea Holiday Midge.
Thanks for your review of the Diva head sculpt. I had no idea that Mattel hadn't used it in so long. I really like Diva head sculpt. I really like her in BMR 1959. I really liked the BMR 1959 dolls. I didn't usually like their complete look, but I loved the actual dolls and I loved the quality of their pieces. I'm a big fan of the bucket hat on BMR 1959 Diva too. I'm looking forward to you reviewing other head sculpts.
I love Diva sculpt, but I know many people don´t like it. For me the first doll with that sculpt I have seen in my life, had to be Jewel Mermaid Hair Midge. I have her, 1998 Native American Barbie, Chinese Empress, Lily/Lola, Basics 1.0 model 9, Speed Racer Trixie, Palm Beach Midge, pregnant Midge second edition and of course BMR1959 one. I think you could make video about Nichelle 1990 sculpt which Mattel also uses very rarely, like between 2002 and 2012 there was no doll with it until Louisiana University AA Barbie was released then there was another pause between 2012 and 2020 until Carlyle used it for Basquiat Barbie. And also like many people are commenting here, Kira and Christie 1987 would be also perfect for this series, there were huge time gaps when Mattel didn´t use them, for Christie from 1999 to 2013 and for Kira from 2001 to 2015. But I think for Kira it would be ideal to wait for release of Holiday 2021 doll with it. :)
What a great review! When I was a kid and collected Barbies (late 80s-late 90s), my dream was to have a Midge doll, but I never got her. I always enjoyed her face, but not enough to pass up a Superstar Barbie, Teresa, Christie, or Kira. 🤣 And then when the Generation Girl dolls came out, I mean, yeah she just always ended up last on my list. A couple of weekends ago, I was at the flea market, and I found an original 1980s Diva for 2 dollars! Finally own her. Also purchased the BMR1959 version but took her out of those hideous clothes. Anyway, great timing on this video! Keep posting this awesome content. Much appreciated!
(as someone who was a kid back then who adored Jem dolls, I'm of the opinion that Jem's weird size was a big--heh--part of why they failed, but even more so was the way Hasbro released the huge amount of core characters with each wave...but...fans already had the dolls of those characters, so there was no need to buy them again, meaning they sat on the shelves while the much smaller number of new characters sold, and somebody at Hasbro realized that was unsustainable. Which was why I was impressed that Mattel figured out how to deal with a huge amount of core characters + ever expanding assortment of new characters with Monster High...by...just..._not_ releasing every core character in every wave of dolls. The way the characters were so strongly portrayed and interconnected in the Jem cartoon meant that would have been really really weird to have done with those. So. I know I'm in the minority saying it, but I think Jem was doomed to self destruct from the start _entirely_ because the cartoon was such an integral part of selling the dolls. Barbie & The Rockers didn't help, but I can't imagine Hasbro continuing to release ten unsellable-because-kids-aleady-had-them dolls for every wave with maybe five new additional characters. I mean, as much as I loved the designs of the second wave, the only one I bought the second version of was Shana, because my first Shana's neck peg broke...)
Yeah that was the way I remember of how it played out. Lots of Jems and Friends sitting around on store shelves. Same thing happened to Darci, as you mentioned and as I have said before on Flickr. By this time lots of folks were passing down their Barbies and clothes to younger family or friends, clothes that were too small for Jem and Darci alas.
Midge (from the 60's and flipped up hair) was my dream doll as a child. I thought the freckles were so cute. They had one in the antique store for $300 and I always wanted her. I thought Teresa's and Steffi face sculpt were the prettiest though
I loved the newer BMR with the Diva face, especially her eyebrows. I had high hopes for the BMR dolls but after seeing reviews and unboxings, the only one I wanted was the one you showed in your video. Never got her, can't say I feel the FOMO. She's really cute but I thought all their outfits were over the top, tryin' too hard, doin' too much. The "BMR" on everything killed it for me, I just wanted a classic piece of clothing that the dolls could wear with other clothes.
I think the wedding party Midge was the prettiest of the retro dolls, I always liked her hair color but I feel like her face was painted too far down on her head so she has that massive forehead. Can’t wait to see you do more of these vids
I believe the hair that the '90s Pocahontas dolls use was kanekalon. It's much lighter and feathery, and was very commonly used for dolls that have a very straight hair. Kanekalon does tend to tangle easily if not taking care of, so I'm not surprised that the 90s Pocahontas dolls you came across had ratty hair.
The barbie extra wave 2 was a huge disapointment for me because they didn't have MTM bodies but i do like their faces and it seems they DON'T have pixel face so I can at least bodyswap them. I really like the black curvy girl mut DAMN it Mattel doesn't have a MTM option for curvy black barbies. And honestly it's so lazy of em to not make some new shoe molds or even enlarge currentt shoe molds to fit curvy girls. I'm sick of flat footed curvy barbies...
@@BarbiesGBF The dolls are already out and some Indonesian TH-camrs have already reviewed them. I look forward to seeing what you think of em when you get your hands on the new dolls!
I hated Diva's eyeshadow back in the day. So I never knew until later that Diva had her own face sculpt. My first diva sculpt was probably a Midge but not California as she uses the steffie. Much later I got a diva though and removed her eyeshadow which really made her lovely, even if her eyebrows where a bit high up because of that eyeshadow. I have a bald Dance Club Kayla head, alas she also have the dreaded eyeshadow. Native American Women do wear a lot of jewelry in Casinos. Seriously! You should do a video on the deedee/ethnic barbie sculpt from the eighties. That one hasn't returned yet. I always thought that one was pretty and I love my Rocker Dee Dee.
I just learned that Dee Dee used the Spanish head mold! For some reason, I thought that she had an original head mold as well. I’ll definitely have to do a video on her.
@@BarbiesGBF The Spanish head mold was used a lot in the 80s for Spanish and Black versions of Barbie. A lot of folks confuse it for the Steffi mold but as you can probably see SHM is its own distinct sculpt.
Usually when they replace the main head sculpt used for the white Barbie character, you rarely see the previous head sculpt reappear unless on reproductions. I wish they’d use Mackie again in some way.
I never liked that Diva face sculpt at all. I love the #1 Midge face sculpt! That was later used as P.J. I also love the first Stacy face, that was later used as Malibu Barbie. But yeah ... I think the Diva face is still ugly. Also, although most people love the Steffie face, I don't even like it. Yeah ... all the clothes of the BMR and the Extra dolls are atrocious. Bad taste to the enth degree!
Huh? Pocahontas didn’t make Native Americans popular….. it was just part of the trend…. Last of the Mohicans…. Dances with Wolves…. Smoke Signals…. And Native Americans were also on video games and cartoons prior to the Disney flick…..
I think that calling an artist's job "garbage" is a little harsh... I understand you didn't like the pieces but you should've chosen a better word that's not as strong as that one 😞

BYEEE🤢🤢😭
Honestly? Here for the tea on that. Whole video trashing it 😂
@@cannowli2337 I was just joking :)

@@BarbiesGBF That is how we, general consumers saw it at the time.
This is a fun idea. Also, thanks for the extra info. Ganna put priority for the Extra i have been looking for in the iridescent dress.
I live for your vidoess. The intros are always a surprise!
Always hated that sculpt and still do BUT I think is amazing they still use retro sculpts sometimes for current Barbies

Barbie and the rockers theme song was my jam back in the day...but so was the jem theme song. I had no loyalty as a child 🤣
i don't expected that barbie is using head molds of the 80s , but is amazing. make me think the lots of heads Mattel still have and we don't remember
Very informative watch 🥰
I was a fan of this sculpt but I will agree that she had a unique look!
I think the wedding party Midge was the prettiest of the retro dolls, I always liked her hair color but I feel like her face was painted too far down on her head so she has that massive forehead. Can’t wait to see you do more of these vids

I'm waiting for more selma face molds, as she's one of my faves along with karl, louboutin and bob mackie.
That intro 😭🤣
I’m a huge Jem and the Holograms fan but as a kid I also loves Barbie and the Rockers I wanted all the dolls from both lines lol 😆
I loved the Jem cartoon so much, that show had so much heart.
i loved diva and midge i think shes stunning what are bmr fashions about there i buy the dolls and just redress
I adore that BMR doll!

yay
The Malibu mold seems very similar to the Midge mold as well.
You're so right. The Bmr fashions are garbage and the name is so ridiculous. The Native american doll is so stunning. Great video!
i never thought the native american dolls looks native considering divas face sculpt is pretty european

You should do a video on the deedee/ethnic barbie sculpt from the eighties. That one hasn't returned yet. I always thought that one was pretty and I love my Rocker Dee Dee.

@@BarbiesGBF The Spanish head mold was used a lot in the 80s for Spanish and Black versions of Barbie. A lot of folks confuse it for the Steffi mold but as you can probably see SHM is its own distinct sculpt.
I loved the BMR 1959 outfits and can't stand the barbie looks ones lol... taste really is so subjective, both lines have beautiful dolls though.
That intro!!! 😂
Does everyone knows what happened to the Mackie Head mold/sculpt? And why she just suddenly disappeared. Can someone explain it to me. 😂😅
Usually when they replace the main head sculpt used for the white Barbie character, you rarely see the previous head sculpt reappear unless on reproductions. I wish they’d use Mackie again in some way.
@@BarbiesGBF Omg! you replied to my comment 😊. Thank you so much for answering my question.
I got to admit that I HATE that BMR1959 doll's eyebrows. She looks like Bert from Sesame Street.
You say that like it’s a bad thing!
Not Sid lmaoo

Yeah ... all the clothes of the BMR and the Extra dolls are atrocious. Bad taste to the enth degree!

I didn't hate the face sculpt.
I never know any of the head molds.
How on earth are you going to survive in the real world?
@@BarbiesGBF I’ll just have to make do :/
Huh? Pocahontas didn’t make Native Americans popular….. it was just part of the trend…. Last of the Mohicans…. Dances with Wolves…. Smoke Signals…. And Native Americans were also on video games and cartoons prior to the Disney flick…..
The BMR face looks like a young Brooke Shields, down to the heavy eyebrows.
You know, I never made the connection but I see it now for sure. Brooke Shields, she’s a beautiful doll!
I don’t like this bmr, I just buying for the body 😂
😍🧡🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈

I think that calling an artist's job "garbage" is a little harsh... I understand you didn't like the pieces but you should've chosen a better word that's not as strong as that one 😞
Carlyle has created some absolutely amazing designs for Barbie, but “garbage” was in fact the nicest way I could describe his designs for BMR1959.
just found ur channel i love ur wit lol. this is such an interesting series, hoping for more
