The world of dolls is a lot deeper than many think- it's filled with fascinating histories and stories, lots of drama, and even a few mysteries. Beyond the few mainstream doll lines that everyone knows, there are hundreds of strange, bizarre and brilliant doll lines that have been cancelled or lost to time. Today let's dive into three unique doll line projects with interesting and weird stories and legacies!

Could you link the pinky and pepper comic, I couldn't find it in the description
Make them do older cases :( I wanted to buy one but.. not available for my 2018 model.
Can I just say I love your Garf collection :)
babe wake up izzzyzzz posted
The notification literally woke me up, and I have no regrets. Time to watch this video at more than half asleep.
Real
My honest reaction
real
-I’m up
Is it weird that if Hasbro actually released the rat dolls, I'd buy a bunch of them?
Because yeah, I love rat appreciation.
@don't be surprised why are you sending me a link to a potato wedge recipe
@@ZeepAtomic just in case you want potato wedges
@Don't read profile photo sorry I read it
_"OH SH--! A RAT!"_

Faust is amazing.
No one asked, but I met her in my Nightmare Rarity cosplay at the Nightmare Nights pony convention, she called me darling and told me i looked marvelous. Such a Rarity like comment, I wanted to die right there from happiness
Cool.
that's damn cute
@@idekanymorefr It is one of my favorite convention memories. She's a very nice lady
There's a reason why her creations are the Ultimate Guilty Pleasure! I can envision the Galaxy Girls being among them.
I would cry ngl. Also, props for doing a nightmare rarity cosplay! I can only imagine what it looked like
I think my favorite detail of milky way is that they're all wearing rollerskates, they all have their own little flair to them and i think its a cute way to represent the planets orbiting (like a roller rink you typically go around in circles around it)
Reminds me of interplanet janet lmaoo
Broke: Trashion Alley dolls had humanoid Monster High-esque heads with rat ears and whiskers
Woke: Trashion Alley dolls had hyperrealistic rat heads
Bespoke: Trashion Alley dolls were always headless. That's the complete doll.
Omg what if kids had to make their own doll head out of garbage to complete the doll?!?
@@bookshelfhoney or recyclables? That would be awesome! It’d be a great idea for a environment friendly doll
They fell victim to a rat trap :(
@@jaycarp6474 nooooooooooooooo
i remember i would cut the heads off some dolls and put plastic animal heads on them when i was younger,,so like
there'd be a market for the realistic rat heads lmao
edit:i am realizing this sounds insanely creepy lmao i swear i'm not crazy
Im actually shocked Galaxy Girls never picked up. Thats such a good concept and the designs are such "hit cartoon" material. Like really, Pinkie picked up but that didn't?
Ikr? No hate to Pinkie, the dolls look cute, but I really wish Galaxy Girls got a shot. This was my first time hearing about the concept, and I absolutely ADORE the character designs and how Faust was able to incorporate each of the planets’ unique characteristics into their designs and the origins of their names. Like how Neptune is a surfer girl since her planet is named after the Roman god of the sea. Or how Saturn is a DJ with rings in her design, paying homage to her planet’s famous asteroid belt.
Faust is an amazing creator, and I hope someday she might be able to revive the project and get it off the ground. Only if she wants to ofc. If she doesn’t, that’s perfectly fine. Just kind of sad how Hasbro slept on the potential of her idea.
@@Cheetahgirl_Studios your profile pic is gorgeous
The design of them also gives me strong Powerpuff Girls vibes. They are all so freakin cute 😍💕! It's a shame it wasn't picked up 😭💔!
@@Cheetahgirl_Studios another thing is that pluto is the roman god of death, and pluto has skulls on her outfit and guitar
Yeah but i think the dolls were a tad off I thought they would be plastic and that made me kinda disappointed I wanted to see how they looked like in plastic tbh
I met the author of Pinky and Pepper forever!! He was super nice and cool and is actually aware of this video since the video being posted actually boosted his sales a bit :) (now I have a signed copy of the book, it's very cool)
YOOO do they have any socials? I really wanna go ahead and check out his other works :3
I have a signed copy too weeehehehhee
@@puppyloopsygive me the copy or else I steal, I’m desprateeee (I’m so jealous of you)
where do you get a copy? i found out about it recently and need one 😭
@@opalzmybelovedthere’s a new edition releasing later this year
Ok so this isn't related to dolls, but I'd just like to say that things like the Pinky and Pepper comic motivate me to make my own stuff. I really want to make a vocal synth fancomic following my interpretations of the various characters/mascots, yet I always restrain myself with thoughts such as "what if people begin to hate me for straying away from the canon material?" or just "what if people think it's cringe?"; and I've come to realize that's kinda silly. I should be more like the creator of this comic and just do what makes me happy, instead of sitting and reminiscing about hypothetical backlash.
Now, to have the energy to draw a bunch of panels and stuff... yeah, that's another story.
i’d love to see that!!
PINKY AND PEPPER MOTIVATED ME TO START MY OWN STUFF!!! And it worked out so well!!!!
VOCAL SYNTHS OMG!!!! which ones will be in it :o
As someone who is also making a comic about mascots, good luck pal
We're on dis together :D✊
Obsessed with the "carpet design of a 1995 airport" makeup
This! ♡
airport? its arcade carpet
@don't be surprised shut up
@@doctorbruhh either applies in 1995
I’m totally going to try this look!! I always love your makeup ❤️🔥✨🤘🏻
Oh my god it's unfair how adorable the Galaxy Girls are, their designs are so cute. Absolutely criminal that Lauren Faust has been unable to bring them into the limelight after all these years.
even the plot is interesting
I'm honestly shocked no one picked it up, I think it would've been a hit for sure. I can so vividly see an alternate reality where my teenage self is posting rabidly about a Galaxy Girls TV show on Tumblr in the mid-2010s.
deadass!!! The aesthetic of it looks so cool and early 2000's/2010's aauuggghhh!!! Why haven't they done anything with it?! It looks so good
In my personal opinion, all the designs suck except Jupiter ( hecking love Jupiter in this line, her vibes are impeccable ) but yeah I can definitely see an awesome kids show and doll line coming from these concepts.
eh I kinda have a love and dislike for it to be honest the designs honestly don't look that good in my opinion they kinda look ugly but it sounds and looks interesting
It’s creepy that Trasion Alley didn’t have heads. I think it keeps them very mysterious and unanswered which for some reason unsettles me that we don’t know what they would look like (obviously not scary). Also I’m really surprised Pinky Cooper isn’t remembered by people because I always remember them being in stores when I was young.
Hi ik im late but about 3-4 or so months ago they did find an unpainted head. still leaves a lot to be answered and yeah i agree its unsettling and mysterious
yeah i saw the pinkie cooper pictures and immediately recognized them, swear they used to be everywhere lol
I'm actually kind of upset the Milky way and the galaxy girls didn't become a thing, it has a really nice and appealing art style, which kind of reminds me of like the mid 2000's or 2010's. Now that MLP has ended, i hope that we maybe get to see the project amount to something, it oozes a very specific charm to me.
When izzy said that the comic had nsfw themes I assumed she meant seggs but then she just hits me with the ‘she encased herself in a tub of resin to prove her dedication to her art’
Babe I was on the floor fighting for my life…like go off that’s low key iconic but also maybe don’t??
SAME BRO I.. need to read that
Seggs? What the fuck is tiktok doing to our vocabulary
dont worry it has bdsm too
@@fricka4798 oh thank god
@@goatdeer8403 youtube censors the real word a lot of the time.
The geometric abstract primary color makeup, the 90s multicolor panel sweater, THE GARFIELD EARRINGS. This is literally the perfect look.
I am *slain* I am *deceased*
Agreeeed
One of my favorite looks from izzy
Izzy *is* the moment rn
she's literally slaying, THIS is fashion to me tbh. not the bra-shirts and unbuttoned mom jeans I see all over instagram. she's got a really good eye for creative makeup!
I have a vivid memory of when I was growing up I had an alien doll, she had a helmet, high heels, pink, shimmery bubblegum scented skin, and an adorable face, I've never been able to find her anywhere? anyone know what i'm describing?
EDIT: OMG I FOUND HER!!! SHES ARI-ROMA FROM THE NOVI STARS DOLLS!!
BRO THATS SO COOL
NOVI STARS
I HAD THE GREEN GLOW IN THE DARK ONE, I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT HER
@@andrewgarfieldswife8734 T
YESS
The Galaxy Girls has really fun character designs and concepts, that I can totally see as a show that would air on Cartoon Network. Such a shame that it hasn't been made yet, but hope that it happens someday soon.
Lauren Faust deserves the biggest recognition day ever for all the IPs she’s uplifted while putting her own incredible ideas on the backburner. If Toil and Trouble never comes out in my lifetime I’ll be so upset :(
How can you be upset? You'll be dead then
@@anonymouslucario285 Then on my deathbed I’ll swear to haunt Netflix forever, just for you Anon.
Hasbro executives hobbies involve scaring children and shooting down Faust's individual ideas so she can work with properties they already own
@@kit2635 Your pfp would fit on r/witchesvsthepatriarchy
Her art style heavy inspired my art style as seen in my pfp.
Izzy is like a cat. She catches weird shit and gives it to us out of love 🥺
explains her love for garfield, that's her spirit animal
Lol rare compliment
Yee
This is an awesome comment and describes Izzy to a T lol 😂💯👍! In fact whenever I decide to adopt another cat in the far future I'm gonna name her Izzy 😆!
Yes.
OH THIS REMINDS ME
My sibling used to be really into these things called ball-joint dolls. They're these moderately creepy, weirdly detailed resin dolls that cost hundreds of dollars that you get from korea or something. Apparently there was a whole subculture around these things and maybe might be worth looking into for a video!
ohh those i love them they look cool af
Lol Asian Ball Jointed Dolls. I have many! They were started by a Japanese company who calls them Super Dollfies. Then many Korean companies came out and began to make their own BJDs. They're completely customizable so they're a really attractive hobby for creative types.
omg i have 3 bjds
I have a few myself, but I doubt mine are resin. The ones I have are so pretty, and I also love finding more.
I remember I used to have a Pinkie Cooper doll. I had Pinkie😭 I used to take her hair out and hide it somewhere in my mom's blanket while she was sleeping so she would be scared when she woke up and felt it touching her leg or something. Oh the memories :')
......... You and me would have been friends as kids
lol yes we would all be friends and I would’ve stole ur doll in the last day of school
@@OllieTheSparkledog little me would've thrown a fit. I protected that doll WITH MY LIFE! Then my mom gave it away to my cousin but that's beyond the point
i was convinced for literal YEARS that the pinkie cooper animations were just a fever dream i made up in my head until i accidently came across pinky and pepper forever on the internet, very cool that you mentioned those in your video! and i also remember the rat dolls, the molds are kinda cool ngl
oh my god, and i thought i was the only one who made up things in my head! (which, like u said, would feel like a fever dream in the future)
If there's anything I've learned, it's that the things we think are fever dreams actually happened.
I didn’t know it was anything on the internet, it was an art exhibit in Columbus for a bit and I got a comic that was being sold of them! I can’t believe I had no clue about it LMAO
I didn't even know about the animations, i just had a doll that was my absolute favorite as a kid. I completely forgot about it and suddenly remembered when i saw a toy similar to these ones.
OMG I HAVE A PINKY AND PEPPER COMIC ON MY WALL I DIDNT KNOW THEY WERE ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THAT
The coffee filter dress is actually a cupcake wrapper dress! I'd recognize that paper lace anywhere!
I thought it was a doily but that makes sense!!
I couldn't place it at first but you're totally right!
@@amoureux6502 Agreed, I think it's a doily~
i think its meant to be a paper doily, they're used for parties and you can get metallic ones too
@@amoureux6502 doily gang. The pattern reminds me of one my mom had on an end table when I was a kid.
IZZY THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH FOR INTRODUCING ME TO PINKY AND PEPPER FOREVER. I LOVE THIS COMIC SO MUCH OMG
Man that sucks Galaxy Girls was never picked up. It honestly sounds like a recipe for a successful doll line and a cute show.
Also wild to learn more about the doll world. I'm not into it, but it's fun to learn about niche subcultures that I know nothing about
I've literally never heard of galaxy girls until today, but, my god, WHY DIDN'T IT GO FURTHER!!!! SERIOUSLY. It literally could've been the biggest new doll line since bratz. I would've been all over it as a kid
Ikr I’ve loved them for YEARS
I love Galaxy Girls I always wanted it to be a thing
I would’ve hated it as a child (since I’m a boy and I had to like boy things) but I LOVE IT NOW!!
@@unofficialmilkyway6986 SLAY 👏
They're adorable!!! I'm going to keep up with them! I hope to see the dolls, comics, WHATEVER in the future!!!
Galaxy Girls has SO much potential. I’m sure it’ll get picked up one day. Imagine the OC’s and fanfic that’ll come out of that show alone. It would be glorious.
Imagine thousands of fans becoming self-taught astrologists just to make their OCs cooler X]
imagine the shipping wars
@@bluesheep7 reminds me of su fans becoming geologists
Considering what we have with 'Friendship Is Magic,' you'd love to see it!
@@endieisded the fact that su actually made me obsessed with all the different types of rocks, how they grew, their rarity, etc. 💀💀💀💀
I'm forever lamenting the loss of the Novi Stars doll line. I was in love with their alien designs and the individual gimmicks of each doll. I tried to collect as many as I could of the existing dolls and they're my favourite amongs my entire collection 👽✨️
I've been a fan of Pinkie Cooper line ever since it first came out and after the cancellation as well, yet it's literally my first time hearing about that "Pinky and Pepper Forever" comic, I didn't know that it had gained a following of sorts, that's unique
The thing I always found interesting about Faust's Galaxy Girls project was just how feasible and achievable it is as a concept. Usually when someone in the animation industry has an ongoing passion project that they're trying to get off the ground it's failure is most often a case of the ambition of the project being beyond the scope of what could be achieved from a production standpoint. Y'know, stuff like the scope of the story or art required for the work requiring a gigantic budget, the story pushing some kind of boundary that studio backers are hesitant to cross or some aspect of the project not being marketable enough for the tastes of the studio execs. Galaxy Girls, by contrast, has always just seemed like an entirely reasonable and achievable pitch for both an animated series and a line of dolls and it's kind of baffling to me that it never got picked up?
The character designs themselves seem like they would be really easily translated into doll form and follow the same baseline template making production easy. Faust definitely wanted to push some boundaries in making sure there was a diverse representation of personalities and POVs represented in the cast of characters, but not in a way that would be unheard of in a kids' cartoon in the early 2010s. Honestly the only potential production complication is how many characters are in the main cast and the problems that could pose from a story perspective for an animated series, but the concept she came up with for the series seems like it pretty handily nips that problem in the bud.
Overall, in an industry where every creator has a pie-in-the-sky concept for a series that's never going to get off the ground, it's such a weird and kind of sad thing that such a well thought out and reasonable concept never made it. I hope Lauren Faust gets a chance to revisit the Galaxy Girls at some point in the future.
The designs gave me stronger Powerpuff Girls vibes than any of the actual reboots, honestly. If they went with that first style they could make absolute bank on the people like me wishing there was something more like the original show out there.
Yeah, the Galaxy Girls would be super marketable. Lots of different characters with their own styles and personalities, so there's one that every kid can identify with. And the designs are so appealing that they'd be great for not only dolls, but merchandise in general. I'm also surprised that it never got picked up for anything.
Like, another common obstacle for passion projects in media is that the concept isn't very marketable, or it's pretty risky and out-of-the-box, but that doesn't seem to be the case with Galaxy Girls. I feel like the only obstacle to toy production is that the main character doesn't wear a ton of pink. (toy companies always want to slather girl toys in pink)
They would be so marketable-- and without the need to even get it to a network. Faust could easily work on a TH-cam miniseries. and the characters each have a very solid aesthetic that would be great for fashion dolls!
Let’s hope Izzzyzzz gets sponsored by a furniture store so when the phone cases break her wardrobe she can replace it
and the furniture store boasts about its durability so we can have a true 'unstoppable force meets immovable object' moment hahaha
@🇰🇵KIM JUNG-UN what the fuck do you think you're doing. this is clickbait and i'm happy it is. are you a bot? this is ridiculous.
I mean the cases have been known to break things- FroggyCrossing broke a dish her normal case never broke but it was the casetify case that completely destroyed it lol
@@ApparentlyCoral that means there high quality though, right?
@@Taylors_version_from_the_vault exactly
I actually looked up Trashion Alley, and I’m not gonna lie I love what people are doing with it, especially Crystalline Toybox’s take on what the finished dolls and even a playset would look like. I’m not gonna lie, if the dolls came out when I was a kid, I probably would have wanted them!
Childhood is being excited to see what Trashion Alley could have been.
Adulthood is realising they would have given “Duh, I’m a mouse.” vibes.
Fun update: Li Speaks covered the same doll lines in her videos, including the trashion alley ones. And in a follow up video she actually had information of heads being found. The heads are actually very rat like and actually sculpted like it. They weren't just human heads with an extra pair of mouse ears and some painted on whiskers. They were genuinely rat shaped.
That just makes it even more sad, because it would've been a really cool doll line
@@BeepBoopBeewhich videos? I'd love to see but I cant find it
@@MusicLove852 I might have mistaken who made the videos then. But I know that there's an update on the trashion alley dolls where they actually found a head. Sorry for the confusion! 😅
@@BeepBoopBee hey no problem. I watched another izzzyzzz doll video after this "MORE lost and cancelled dolls" and found the update. Thanks for helping out!
I remember finding Lauren Faust's deviantart back when I was 10 and falling in love with all the artwork she posted of the Galaxy Girls. It's such an interesting and cool concept and I still think it'd work really well even today, I could totally see it gaining a huge following just like MLP. Lauren Faust has a lot of strengths as a character designer and writer so I'd love to see this passion project get picked up someday. Also, imagine how cool the dolls for the series could be. I'd love to see stylized, articulated fashion dolls of the girls. They could have those chunky shoes that pop off the legs like Bratz or MyScene, too. There's so much potential for them...
Her cute style was the one who inspired me to become a artist. I kind of borrow from PPG which I started drawing as a 90s girl. Even created my own OCs my family were very supportive of my skills and over time they developed. My cute style changed to the one I use now
@🇰🇵KIM JUNG-UN bot
Lauren Faust must have presented the Galaxy girls at a convention. My parents took to to conventions when I was very young and I have a print of Milky way and mercury. They were on my bedroom door for years!! I assumed they were from a random artist, not LAUREN FAUST??
Can’t believe the project turned so obscure, I blame the ponies
@@unofficialmilkyway6986 ngl I love MLP but even as a kid I throught that Galaxy Girls were.. a better choice...
@@alieneko_nyo yeah I prefer this over MLP anytime
@@unofficialmilkyway6986 yeah I mean My Little Pony is already something that existed for YEARS even before Lauren decided to make a new show for it don't get me wrong I love my little pony is a amazing good kids show but galaxy girls sounds like an amazing cool show plus it's original (what I mean by that is that unlike my little pony it's a show that never existed and it's not some show made for something that already existed for years)
@@Flippy991 I feel bad for Faust. Whenever she pitches an original (MWGG, Lolli Pop, etc) concept it gets rejected and she is forced to stick with a reboot (MLP:FiM and DCSHG).
I didn't get into dolls until I discovered Super Dollfies and BJDs for the first time. The fact that they are completely customizable really attracted me. I think regular doll lines are cute, but customizing your own is just such a fun concept. You can have some OC from something you wrote, and can easily turn them into a physical doll and make them tangible -- the best part of this being that MALE DOLLS are produced more than female dolls in the BJD world. And now there's endless companies to choose from.
I have been waiting for months for my art block to leave....BUT NOW....my eyes have opened to the galaxy girls and Pinky... THANK YOU SO MUCH
My favorite detail from the galaxy girls was the part in Uranus’ bio where she insists that it’s pronounced “your-un-us” or something like that to avoid the inevitable jokes. So memorable even all these years later!
I feel sorry for what she has to go through.
@🇰🇵KIM JUNG-UN shut up
as an astrologer, milky way and the galaxy girls blew my mind. you don’t know what you did showing this to me. i already told my fav astrologers about it. it’s literally going to be my life mission to get mwgg the attention it deserves bc omfg
lol its just powerpuff girls with planet personification. since it was never released you should just make your own
@@alwaysabiggafish3305 Honestly, based.
Do you mean astronomer..? Or is astrologer really a thing
@@holland22 Astrologers are a thing. They're those psuedoscience people that blame random planets for their problems.
astrology is pseudoscience
Galaxy girls aways have been a really really commum and popular theme on school supplies such as notebooks and backpacks here in Brazil, I actually bought a notebook of them to use in college this semester. I hope that she can work on this series again in the future, it's a wonderful concept, personally I love them so much they're so cute.
Begging Izzy to do a full review on pinky & pepper forever 😭💕
Honestly, those Annoying Orange figurines looks cursed, especially how Orange is staring right in front of someone's souls.
Your pfp is a perfect reaction to them
I have the apple toy and every few years I rediscover him in my room- He's absolutely terrifying 😭
@@mamacherry7107 I have orange and honestly same😅
They look like they commit unspeakable war crimes daily.
I mean its accurate to the show at least lmao
Didn't realized that Pinkie Cooper only was in production for one year. I never had any of the dolls but they felt like a bigger cultural impact
Right, I remember rewatching what few eps they had. They felt super important to me
I've never heard of them til this video so🤷🏻♀️ didn't go as far as you thought. it's interesting how those things work
I remember seeing the ads on tv and was always weirded out by them lol
I remember seeing the commercials for them all the time and kinda wanted one. I'm surprised they were only produced for a year, I thought the commercial were shown a lot longer than that.
Same! Never owned one but I remember seeing them around a lot
I am sorry, I never knew about Galaxy Girls and I now wished that they were big.
Their design are really close of that of PPG with a more teen aesthetics and ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH IT.
Thanks to this video, I read Pinky and Pepper Forever and really fell in love with it. Really excited for my physical copy to arrive! Thanks izzzyzzz!
Milky Way and the galaxy girls is such a unique concept and honestly a BIGGG breath of fresh air when it comes to girl-targeted cartoons! It’s such a smart concept and while I love the og designs the most I’d watch it just the same with the new ones simply bc the concept is TOO. GOOD.
I love the idea of Thrashion Alley. I can imagine the cartoon coming with the doll line teaching young girls the value of recycling waste and protecting the environment.
I don't know if you'd consider doing a second part of this (maybe making it a series?), but in terms of lost/cancelled dolls, the line I always think of are La Dee Da dolls. I was in a weird age when they came out where I didn't really care for their cutesy faces and candy-based designs, but I also remember seeing ads for them. Really, what I miss is their awesome website because they had some sick flash games and I loved playing one, but I think the website was gone long before flash died. Either way, I don't even know if they really count as lost or cancelled, I think they just flopped, but they still hold a place in my heart (and if it weren't for me finding them via unrelated searches since I forget the name, I might think they were a fever dream or something I made up).
I never knew how much I needed Galaxy Girls in my life 😭
Trashion Alley is SUCH a cool concept! If they gave them actual mouse heads that were cute and have a fleshed out backstory, I think this could have been a banger.
Fr
Doll collector checking in, This is the content I’m here for.
totally unrelated but i noticed the JTHM pic on your pfp aaaa !! :,) elite taste ✨🖤
omg sameee
Same
I want Galaxy Girls to fully exist so bad, the looks of the characters have way too much potential. 🌌
As a doll enthusiast, very specifically into the ooak doll community, I'm BEYOND happy this gets a deep dive. There's more drama about the new gen monter highs since the film released, and I'm hoping the mermaid high dolls get some coverage here, because those were a super interesting cancellation
My sister had pinky cooper dolls. We used to play the strangest werewolf games with them and our bratz. Only instead of becoming a terrifying monster at the full moon, we became fashionable dog girls who were amazing at singing for some reason. Good times.
thats absolutely hilarious. i always wanted a pinky cooper doll growing up, but my mom thought they looked weird for being animals with makeup. i missed out on so much 😭
I’ll still be complaining about Ever After High being cancelled on my death bed. BRING IT BACK DAMN IT!
Give us a proper conclusion
Ever after high was like Snow White and disney was the evil godamn stepmother
@Yourfriendlyneighborhoodsimp Yeah same its all disneys fault I hate them >:(
Here in Mexico we have a doll called “Casimeritos” a play of words meaning like “almost there” and the Spanish name “Casimiro”. So, what doll could it be something that is almost there ? Fetuses, unborn babies… or babies that were born prematurely, they even come with a medical capsule
You would think that, after the massive success of MLP:FIM, people would be fighting to get anything from Lauren Faust. She'd make them millions. Possibly she changed Mercury's design was because in the original concept, I immediately thought of Sailor Mercury in Lauren Faust's style. The Mars girl is the cutest though and I will protect her.
Those ratty girls look like a cute and somewhat interesting concept. I'm curious to see what the faces were originally going to look like. I would hope for cute, but yeah, athropomorphic dolls can look hit or miss. I think even the Pinkie Cooper dolls are almost not quite right either, though not to the extent that some of the other dolls you used as an example or even the animal MH characters. But that's just my opinion. I think if the rat girls had face sculpted like Gadget from Rescue Rangers, that might look ok.
The Pinkie girls having pet dogs I think is supposed to be like the Goofy/Pluto thing, or like how Hello Kitty has a pet cat.
I am so shocked that I knew about pinky Cooper via being a doll collector and not a massive lesbian nerd. I really need to read that comic!
Yes, you should! It’s very short, you could most likely read it in less then 30 minutes.
Okay, I am in love with those Pinkie Cooper sculpts. Anthro dolls definitely tend to dip into the uncanny valley as you brought up and I love when it's done right, especially on a mainstream line. I would have also LOVED to see the heads for those rats. I absolutely love the body sculpts and that custom Goth Rat is 100% up my alley.
I bet if she had a push talk button, most of the lines would just be insulting her owner. And I'd be all up for that.
pun intended?
@@whotfisjobie Glad someone noticed it. ;>
Once at a Toys R Us I found a Milky Way plush doll. It was missing an earring and was marked down from $50 to $5. I knew the character from Lauren Faust's deviantArt which I followed, and absolutely flipped. To this day I'm grateful to have it.
I actually own one of the Jet Set Pet dolls! I got Pinky a reaaaallyy long time ago for christmas and to be honest i forgot i even had the doll until i read pinky and pepper for ever like years and years later. She's a pretty high quality doll and pretty detailed i wanna say, i really hate the line was canceled because they're such cool dolls..
I’m a 30 year old male and somehow Izzzyzzz ALWAYS picks topics that feel like stepping into a whole other world of pop culture history than what I know and it’s always fascinating
Yeah, I've never been a part of these groups and cultures, and it's passionating to dive into it. So much to do so much to see.

I love the modern and mid-00’s designs for Milky Way and The Galaxy Girls phenomenal character design I hope she tries again and someone takes her up on it
@@owentwo982 It's because the video is trending, someone sets up a bot to artificially drive up traffic to another video by flamebaiting for a response.
one doll line that I've always thought was really interesting was Novi Stars. it was a series of alien-like dolls that all had unique gimmicks to them like their legs being filled with water and glitter like a snowglobe or their body glowing in the dark and there was even one that was scented. they were released in 2012, went on hiatus in 2013 and released a final line in 2014 before being discontinued. I remember them fondly when I was a kid but never got any of them because I didn't like the limited articulation (they only had joints in the shoulders, hips, and neck iirc) and that they were pretty expensive when compared to other dolls.
info about them is pretty scarce since they were not very big like monster high but I do remember there being a commercial about them that made me want to get one. I really wish we still had dolls like this because they were SO not like other doll lines in every way, that and I feel there's WAY too many human dolls out there
THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME REMEMBER THEM I WANTED THEM SO BAAAAAD OMGG
novi stars and the La Dee Da dolls had me so starstruck as a child
Thank you for mentioning them! It's sad to see how people don't discuss them that much :<
A post was shown in this video where someone attached a Alie Lectric head to a Trashion Alley body, but Izzy didn't comment on it. I actually have two Novi Stars dolls right now that I love a lot!
I have such a soft spot for those dolls! I bought my best friend one for her 17th birthday when they first came out because she loves cute alien stuff and she still has it on display in her childhood bedroom.
I had to look it up, but I got her the Una Verse doll which is the one with the water and glitter legs!
omg i've been stalking mercari for a novi stars doll recently they are so cute 😭😭😭
Between Izzzy and Negative Legend I'm learning so much about dolls that I honestly never thought was ever a thing like the most I knew was some people were into custom Monster High I had no idea how much deeper the Doll fandom iceberg went
The rat dolls sound adorable! I really want to make custom dolls of my rats now lol
Fun fact about dolls:
Back when a lot of gay people went to raves wearing cock rings on their necks as a necklace. They wanted to appeal to more people, so they did some market research and didn't realise the nature of the rings, the end product was a Ken doll wearing late 1993 rave clothes with a cock ring necklace. It sold so much that it outsold every other Ken Doll of the Barbie company, and as far as I know it's the highest selling to this day despite being recalled after 6 months
It's called The Earring Magic Ken
Yet another reason why Ken is the better barbie
They W H A T ?
this is hilarious
It's a funny urban legend but thats probably not true. Heres a video that talks about the doll in detail th-cam.com/video/hTa22yZ1ESw/w-d-xo.html
Sounds like an urban legend
Just finished reading “Pinky and Pepper Forever” and DAMN was that good.
It’s a really quick read (< 1 hr) and is a real emotional rollercoaster.
I fell in love with this comic too. It reminded me of my art school years, the art style is fantastic, and the plot was so creative! I honestly want a printed copy, I NEED it. I read the comic like 4 times already.
I read it too, it was just the kind of grundge I was looking for: seemingly amateurish and yet professionally crafted.
If pinkie cooper were to ever comeback, I think it would be interesting if it adopted this version of the characters, and became a grundgy artsy line aimed at older audiences. keeps me wondering.
Oml same it was soooo good, the art style is amazing, the story is amazing, everything about it is amazing
i had the artist over at my place and she was really cool! living in a city is crazy.
It was written by a person who draws c p so…
as someone who’s been active in the doll community on tumblr since 2014 it’s so interesting and funny to see how stuff that’s normal to us is viewed from an outside lens, i specifically remember the day that people were finding trashion alley on aliexpress and i was SCRAMBLING trying to find another listing but they all sold out so fast 😭 pinkie cooper also had a lot of fans on tumblr so i was surprised to learn about the comic from this video but it’s always cool to see how dolls end up inspiring people!
I think for the lost rat dolls, the dress on the one with the white body has a liner made of cupcake liners
When it comes to Trashion Alley, counterfeiting toys is a huge thing over in China.
I collect and paint display miniatures (from companies such as Mindwork Games for example) and there is a big problem with piracy from China in that industry. They get the models, use them to make molds, then mass produce them using cheap, poor quality resin. They're called "garage kits" and they sell them at a fraction of the original price on sites like eBay, Wish, AliExpress and sometimes even Etsy.
The same thing could be happening here with the rat dolls. Someone in China probably managed to get their hands on one of the prototypes, used it to make molds and is now selling them.
Possible, but that seller is someone I've bought legitimate items from with packaging and is known for leaks.
These dolls kind of look like prototypes, the China molds usually are good but not *that* good
they do this with LPS and the takara tomy pokemon figures. sometimes the quality is so similar that it's super difficult to tell them apart. That being said, there are a surprising amount of authentic ones, some still in packaging. no clue how they get that stuff after so many years
People have already brought up why they think they’re real, but I also think if they were fakes, there would be more coming out. There’s clearly interest, but nobody’s filling that demand, so I assume the seller had a limited supply.
Is it just me or would those dolls make perfect collectors dolls? They genuinely seem like something people would keep
5:09 its a doily, they're not popular in modern homes but they're a decorative lacey thing to put under objects etc
I've been chronically online for so goddamn long, I remember her selling those original galaxy girl dolls on dA back in the day. I can imagine she's just tired because she's had such an explosive and busy decade, I think the concept will return someday!
discontinued doll lines is one of my favorite topics to discuss ever thank you so much for dropping this
Aww man, i wished Galaxy Girls was an actual cartoon. Young me was OBSESSED with anything that had to do with the universe, and Lauren's designs for the girls were just so cute and definetely had a lot of thought put into it
Wow, I actually really like the idea and concept she had for the show. That would teach young kids about the planets in a really creative way! I wish they had taken her pitch, but I also am glad she made mlp.
I am so in love with the last doll line??2??2?2 I love anything about planets and galaxies and celestial bodies, and seeing it be a doll line?? If I was a deviant art kid back then, man. I'd have gone crazy. Shame I wasn't much on the internet around the 2010s.
It’s so nice you reviewed such an obscure concept - Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls!!
Ever since my first encounter with it in June 2020, I immediately got into it. However since nobody ever talked about it, I decided to make an animated series myself upon hearing the rejecting, as a fan project. Seeing MWGG get more recognition nowadays makes me so excited!! Even Faust herself redesigned the girls!
What does Lauren Faust think of your fan project?
@@KaminoKatie I’m trying to get her attention!! It’s so hard. But I don’t want to spam her Twitter either.
I only promoted it once and that’s it. Anything else I comment is related to her tweet.
best wishes to you on your fan project! 💕 thats awesome, keeping the love for these cool characters alive!
Are your animations posted to YT? I mean I'll still check your profile but
@@jeslybarillasmeraz880 yep!
honestly the rat dolls would be a really successful doll line if they were released today, people love rats
"nothing looks better then friends together❤!" introverts: Yeah٫ sure..
EDIT: TY FOR HIGHLIGHT I ❤️ U IZZY
“Nothings better than friends together”
Lives in my head rent free now
The artist for Pinky and Pupper Forever had a small exhibit at the Columbus Museum of Art a few years ago and I got to see the custom dolls behind plexiglass and it was really cool to see! There was also cardboard stands of the characters there too.
I saw that exhibit! It was amazing! My university was able to hold a major specific class interview with the artist while the residency was on going at the time, and it was fascinating to hear him talk about his process of artistic development growing up with deviantart and different internet fan communities. His work is definitely aimed for older audiences, but it's definitely worth checking out his work on instagram and his other print works.
yeah that was a really cool exhibit! the standups were a really cool photo op lol. eddy also gave a lecture and was selling some comics, taking commissions, etc. at a little comic expo at the columbus library. I bought a print from the book there that I still have framed on my wall!
@@Reaganrocks12 Cartoon Crossroads? I used to go every year before Covid!! I miss it so much
@@chickaroo111 yeah that’s right, i miss it too. It was always a nice place to pick up some cool zines, books and art
I'd love to know what happened with What's Her Face dolls. They were pretty creepy, as they were complete dolls with blank faces, which you would then stamp facial features onto. They didn't last for very long. I'd love to know how they made it onto shelves in the first place.
i Really want to make a reboot of it
YOU! YOU JUST HELPED ME MORE! There was a video game based on this doll line (but I didn't know that until now). I could never remember the name of the game, but I wanted to see it again. I looked the doll line up and got to see the game in all its 2002 graphics glory
@@ajj4515 I don't remember the video game, but I remember that you could make "music videos" on the website and that music is burned into my brain.
OH MY GOD I HAD ONE OF THOSE... LOVED HER, i had the pen where you could just freestyle the face
I had one as a kid! Also, I didn't remember they existed until now, which just goes to show what a wasted concept it was, because it's great for doll customizers, but the execution managed to make the concept so boring and bland looking.
OH MY GOD YOU’RE KIDDING ME. basically i’ve been watching a bunch of your doll videos and suddenly remembered some weird dog doll line that i loved as a kid, and was looking it up to no avail, when BOOM it’s the next topic in the video. GENUINELY CRAZY, I THOUGHT I HALLUCINATED PINKIE COOPER 💀 i loved my pinkie cooper doll, i seem to remember her being quite soft and velvety, very unique. no idea what happened to her though. i wonder if i could sell her if she’s sitting around in my attic somewhere…
It's sad that Milkyway And The Galaxy Girls didn't get picked up, Lauren Faust seemed super passionate about it. Toil and Trouble also looked super cute. I hope she hasn't completely given up on either of them.
Pinky Cooper also seems like a toyline I would've loved as a kid, they looked so cute! Although they do look kinda bald lol. I think it would've looked better if they had bangs or hairstyles that weren't just hair going down from the sides of their heads.
weirdly enough, i swear to god i had that milky way and the galaxy girls book when i was younger. i don't know how we got it, but i had it as a child and i remember reading it and wondering what it was from!! i dont know if we still have it but i might go searching for it later.
Cool finding you here, I HOPE YOU FIND THE BOOK THO ;;
Lalaloopsy!
A few days ago I remembered that it had existed and was a large part of my childhood. I had a DSi game, one of the dolls, and had watched the shorts when they came on. I think I even had a book. It would be really cool if you happened to talk about it at some point! :D
They have A TON of the reproductions at walmart where i live
@@kagaminerinorange Ooh nice!! I heard they revived the show in recent years but I just heard that. I might get a Lalaloopsy doll sometime soon :)
Boy I love those dolls, they are working on a second season for the Netflix series I believe??? BUT IT'S SO SLOOOOW it pains me
Me and my mum love those! She basically collects them and they've always been a massive part of my childhood!
omg yes!! Lalaloopsy!! i forgot about them!!
i remember as a child watching alot of pinky cooper doll reviews and loving them alot so it was kinda weird how a lot of people knew them from an NSFW comic but its fine tho the doll line is super cute
also MATGG deserves better i first saw them on instagram when i was scrolling through my moms account and i was so invented just to find out they were canceled UGHHHH
Fun Fact: The shirt Izzy is wearing is the Corporate Turtleneck from Cool Shirtz, which Li Speaks wore in her VMK video during the sponsor segment.
As a very loving rat parent and doll collector, rat fashion dolls are a obsession I never knew I'd have, but here we are. I wish Hasbro would release them, it's honestly the cutest concept ever.
Frrr, I thought their bodies looked so cute. Im so sad to see they never became a thing
Ew 🤮
@@youtubewontletmetypeagoodu8128 But... why?
@@awetistic5295 They don't like rats apparently.
@@elcat2577 That's kind of sad, rats are wonderful. Have people the same urge to tell everyone when they don't like cats or dogs? Or is it more accepted to hate on rats, even towards their owners? Maybe it's just a strange concept to me to hate animals. Rats are just the sweetest little souls.
As someone who is neck deep into the doll community, nothing brings me more joy than talking about weird discontinued doll lines. I BEG of you to make this a series 💖 (even though I know and fear how much the prices are gonna raise on eBay now on said doll lines but it will be worth it lol)
I feel the same but honestly it's probably not actual collectors and fans who drive up the prices. It's those heartless scalpers who don't care at all what they are selling
My knowledge of dolls is limited to early 00 Japanese Dollfies, but having seen Phelous's "Bootleg Zone" series on Galaxy Warriors, & PatMac's videos on prototype Sonic toys, I'm eager for more of this sort of thing.
@@LePezzy66 That's always going to be the truth. It's like the housing situation right now; it's not that too many people want houses right now making them unaffordable & unobtainable, it's asshole libertarians buying them all up as investment properties.
@@LikaLaruku I wanna know if dolls also have a galaxy hole of their own.
I remember getting a Pinky Cooper doll when I was like 8 or so on Christmas, that weird dog human hybrid was my fav doll for years! I love how ppl are taking this weird obscure doll line and building whole new comics and stories with awesome art styles, you people inspire me truly!
I've been of milky way and the galaxy girls for almost a year now, I wish it became an actual show. 😭
It was such a good and cute concept
I’m a member of the OOAK community and I love learning about these things! I actually really want to make a doll of you, Izzzyzzz, cause your makeup would be so fun to recreate on a doll!
If you ever do, I'd love to see it!
I've always loved the OOAK community, and would love to start making some!
I would love to see that!!! such a cute idea!
@@superoriginalusername. Go for it!!! It can be pricey if you jump head first into things like watercolor pencils, sealant, etc so I recommend starting with acrylic paints, mod-podge, and glitter! Its super forgiving and you can do so many cool things with them!
@@pozzsicle I'll make sure to post it if I ever get over my procrastinations!
Thank you so much for the shoutout and what you said about Pinky & Pepper Forever and dolls in general. Really appreciate it!!
I have to thank my partner, Cube, for showing me your book. We own it! So awesome to see it💖 love your art sooooo much!
Wow thank you so much Eddy, it’s a huge honour!!! :)
Those pinkie cooper dolls literally gave me life long issues, my gosh its interesting to see them again
Izzy, THANK YOU for turning me on to Pinky and Pepper Forever! I had not heard of it before, and I just read through it. Disturbing and emotional, but heartwarming and funny. Wasnt expecting to get attached to a wlw comic about puppy girl reapers based on an abandoned toy line tonight, but I am definitely not complaining!
Same! I read it yesterday.
Same 😭 i am left yearning for more; any recs for comics like this?
@@Redbeank4 right?? same here! i need more disturbing but cute wlw comics! im fr hyperfixating on pinky and pepper rn 😭
Same for me, I weirdly enjoyed it so much
@@Redbeank4 Eddy’s publisher Silver Sprocket puts out a lot of cool stuff!
I love the story of the galaxy girls, the small implication of her trying to advertise her own project and having the Board of Directors not brush her off, but instead say that she is what they’re looking for for a different project and asking if she’d work on that instead
I kinda want the Pinkie Cooper dolls despite how expensive they are now. When they have their hats on, they’re so cute.
sobbing screaming and running on the walls the galaxy girls are amazing i need them to get picked up so bad
