I've realized from your videos that the entirety of my dislike for modern Barbie is her face. I wish they'd bring back the 90s face because it was so cute.
I'm personally nostalgic for the early 2000's face design, as that's what I grew up with. I agree that the current face mold is pretty unappealing. That combined with the uninteresting playline fashions is why I don't have any interest in collecting any Barbie dolls from this era.
I was thinking while editing this that the 90s doll faces did such a good job of having Barbie look youthful and glamorous, and the 2000s do a good job of looking more mature and glamorous. The 2020s... neither.
I think it's the eyebrows for me, I'm not sure what they did to Barbara but her eyebrows just feel disproportional now? The last time I saw a Barbie at a shop I actually thought it was a knock off at first
I own the 2003 Barbie! I got it for my [REDACTED] birthday and it was huge deal because we were very poor when I was little, so I'm little sad she got funfetti tier :( But I understand she's got some tough competition in video, what can you do
The screening on that 1998 Birthday Wishes Barbie is STUNNING - I hope Millie's replacement takes inspiration from her face (also carrot cake at the bottom where it belongs 😄)
Ahaha I love that the Barbie who blows up balloons is the first to go in carrot cake 😂 I have her new in box bc a relative gave her to my sister for her birthday the year she came out, and my sister doesn't like dolls so she gave her to me. She's still in box as of right now, but one day I will take her out and mess with her goofy, ridiculous balloon blowing mechanic. I love goofy dolls like her so much, but I definitely understand why you put her at the bottom 🤣 Also, happy early birthday! Lots of love to you, Darling 💕
I'm kinda surprised that still up to 2016 the boxes were saying 'For a special birthday girl'. I dunno. I thought they might have stopped doing that sooner? Unless the birthday wishes are for Barbie, and not the person getting her as a gift. I'm definitely overthinking it. 😛
My immediate thoughts on seeing the 2004 Birthday Wishes Barbie (at 12:04) was "If Gaz from Invader Zim had to wear a formal dress, this is what she'd wear". It's very 2000's era goth to me - it's not just the dark purple color, but also the arm bands and the dark lipstick that are really giving me that impression. I don't think it's very birthday, but I do like it for how much it stands out compared to everything else.
There she is! I recognize the 1990 "Happy Birthday Barbie" as the one of the only major dolls I begged for for some time and finally got. Her pink princess dress was the star of the show on every Barbie I owned afterward. The puff-sleeve bodice is actually separate from the two-layered skirt, which also made for more flexible play. Her hair had some strands of micro holographic tinsel ribbon in it as well. I played this doll absolutely into the ground before she reached a yard sale, so it's so interesting to see her untouched, as I did once in the store. This strange feeling of connection is what niche internet stuff is for.
I had the 2005 bday barbie, and i still have her dress! I have no clue where the doll herself went but im sure shes in my storage somewhere. Its always so weird to watch these and randomly remember that i had certain dolls
Omg, I just get flashbacks to when my childhood crush got me the pink 2011 birthday Barbie!! It came with a hot pink crown and I would wear it constantly to show my ~LoVe~ for him (even tho we literally only saw each other like once a year). I still have it in my jewelry bin (I think the Barbie is in storage). Tho my love of pink has stayed strong, my love of boys has disappeared-
happy birthday!! i had the 2003 birthday barbie as a kid and she was my absolute favorite doll. she’s even more special now because my cat at the time decided to bite a hole through her hand (the only time she ever did that, oddly enough) and has since passed away.
Omg! I was literally just talking about how no one ever ranks the Birthday Barbies! I recently just started collecting them. I only have the 1997 one so far. Also Happy Upcoming Birthday! I enjoy your vids 💖
Happy upcoming Birthday! I love carrot cake but I love how you did your tiers- very creative! I was happy you love the 1991 bday! A year before I was born and I admit I like it better than the one for my year- but I do find the early 90s bdays nostalgic. really enjoyed this & seeing how the designs changed from year to year. I think my favorite has to be the 2003 bday wishes one! Like you said, I think the dress is quite elegant and the simplicity of the design in some ways really stands out
2013's Birthday Wishes stands out for having a very 1950's prom feel. They've also given her a bubble effect in her poufy skirt, so it subtle but smart - not a recycling of the past. The use of a very muted pink may also be a nod to millennial pink.
YESSS I was hoping you would do this after the holiday Barbies! I love birthday Barbies and have always wanted a giant pink dress to wear on my birthday.
I had the 2019 Birthday Barbie! She was my absolute favorite so I am happy to see her in Cookie cake where she belongs. I also had 2015 and 2016 so its hard to see them so low because of nostalgia 💔
13:01 I agree with everything you said about the 2005 birthday wishes barbie but i kind of love her for it.. she looks like something you would use to wash the dishes. serve.
Very excited to discover I actually really like the birthday barbie from the year I was born because I want a barbie as old as me and that year's holiday does not speak to me. Also, you're sooo right about cookie cake but carrot cake slaps too
Happy Birthday! My birthday is also next week. Here's to us! This was very fun. 😂🥰 PS, I'll gladly take all of the carrot cake! Also out of all of these, 1991 is my favorite. I remember wanting her so bad for my birthday that year. I'd still love to get here! She is peak Barbie to me. 😍
You were spot on with your cake choices for each rank 🎂 There is something about the 1995 Happy Birthday Barbie that I actually really really like; she's double chocolate to me.
This is SO IRONIC! I just spent the last two nights trying to research every Barbie birthday doll! I’m old lol I was born in 1971 and In 1980 I got that first birthday Barbie when I turned 9 she was my favorite and brings back such amazing memories so I’m on the hunt to get her back, but that got Me looking for other birthday Barbie’s. I’ve decided to try and collect them all. This video was very informative for me. Thanks so much!!! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎈🎁🎂🎉🎊
Looks like it's about to be your bday again. I'm a new sub and I've been binging all of your vids. Thank you for what you do. I love joining in on the doll love.
7:42 I love this one 8:40 Yes. Yes. Yes. 10:37 Cinderella??? 11:10 I love this! 11:27 I like this and this 12:00 12:16 PRETTY 12:50 OOOOOO 13:12 yesssssss I love this one 13:54 I think I had this one and the last 14:17 Cinderella pt2 15:09 I hate that i like this 15:55 Another that reminds me of my childhood 16:27 horse girl vibes I like it 16:50 it's cute but 17:16 the colors are 10/10 17:32 pretty!! 17:58 I need this dress irl. favorite so far 18:30 pretty! 18:53 This is cute! 19:41 almost good! 20:35 the colors are good but the style of the tulle is gross
it was very interesting seeing all of these different Barbie's from different times to see how they improved...or unimproved over time. the Angel birthday Barbie is my favorite i love how she looks!
I have a soft spot for 1992 Barbie. One of the few dresses we had and I'm a sucker for both blue/pink/white color schemes and roses. Also, I do not like carrot cake as well. I think a lot of it is the texture for me.
Does any remember when Barbie came out with a quinceañera doll? I not sure the year it was out but she has I believe a face mold from the early 90s, her dress was white. That’s the one Barbie I vividly remember getting as a present, mostly bc my favorite dolls were bratz and Polly pocket😅 but this Barbie I’m talking was giving to me when I turned 15 so idk if she’d count as a bday doll Also HBD! Hope you get everything you wish for and are blessed to see many more❤️❤️❤️❤️
I saw the 1995 birthday barbie in an antique store recently and she blew me away. I'm a sucker for color and the pink, yellow, and blue combo along with the iridescent cellophane is so pretty. and the sleeves are so big and silly and amazing
You always make these so entertaining! (Even though I am a carrot cake lover) I love 1989 Happy Birthday, 1997 Birthday, 2000 Birthday Wishes (I love that shade of blue a lot), 2005 Happy Birthday (again, those rainbows are lovely imo and that was also my era of Barbie), 2006 Happy Birthday (I like the overskirt!), and my favourite is 2013 Birthday Wishes, generic maybe but I love her
I've realized from your videos that the entirety of my dislike for modern Barbie is her face. I wish they'd bring back the 90s face because it was so cute.

Aw
I love 90s barbie’s face. She just looks so kind, so friendly
Exactly!
That’s so sweet!
I love this but I actually think the very first birthday doll was actually in 1974 it was Barbie’s sweet 16 she was really adorable
I hate her 🤣
totally agree about the pink, fluffy dresses. I could be surrounded by things like that 24/7 and never get sick of it
Can't believe we have near opposite taste in cake
Just means there's more cookie cake for you and more carrot cake for me
The happy birthday angel Barbie is literally everything. She’s giving Mean Girls Halloween party mawma 💅🏼
"I'm an angel, duh!"
I own the 2003 Barbie! I got it for my [REDACTED] birthday and it was huge deal because we were very poor when I was little, so I'm little sad she got funfetti tier :(
But I understand she's got some tough competition in video, what can you do
one persons funfetti is another’s cookie cake!!
I found myself really reacting to each Barbie as you went through, like "they did WHAT to Barbra?!"
The screening on that 1998 Birthday Wishes Barbie is STUNNING - I hope Millie's replacement takes inspiration from her face
(also carrot cake at the bottom where it belongs 😄)
9:20 The way she'll outslayed everyone in the MET Gala
14:52 Main Character moment
15:25 It's giving Victoria Secret Birthday theme
v valid
Ahaha I love that the Barbie who blows up balloons is the first to go in carrot cake 😂 I have her new in box bc a relative gave her to my sister for her birthday the year she came out, and my sister doesn't like dolls so she gave her to me.

I love goofy dolls like her so much, but I definitely understand why you put her at the bottom 🤣 Also, happy early birthday! Lots of love to you, Darling 💕
As uncomfortable as she makes me I do really want to see that mechanic in person. I'm just so curious
I like her dress
i’ve never seen anyone else who gets a cookie cake for their birthday 😭 good to know it’s not just me who does it 😄
I didn't even know cookie cakes existed, or at least i forgot about them 😭😭 i really want one now
Maybe do a tier list for face molds if you haven't or one face mold with tiers for the best makeup looks on it.
the '99 birthday wishes barbie with the auburn hair is soooo gorgeous! i'm obsessed with her
Yup
I'm kinda surprised that still up to 2016 the boxes were saying 'For a special birthday girl'. I dunno. I thought they might have stopped doing that sooner? Unless the birthday wishes are for Barbie, and not the person getting her as a gift. I'm definitely overthinking it. 😛
Same!
Right? I got a lot of barbies for my birthdays as a kid, and I can imagine seeing that would have had me feeling some type of way 😭
Ohhh shit I didn't even think about gender
Damn my dumbass really thought it was referring to Barbie and not the person 🧍🏻
Bro think that you are a boy and your family buys you a doll like that😂
All the variations of the 90s confetti dress birthday Barbies hold so many memories for me 🎉

I like carrot cake. 🥕🧡 I enjoyed this video a lot.

This ending made me laugh
happy birthday!! i had the 2003 birthday barbie as a kid and she was my absolute favorite doll. she’s even more special now because my cat at the time decided to bite a hole through her hand (the only time she ever did that, oddly enough) and has since passed away.
1995 Birthday Barbie is my favourite. I still have mine in box :)
Omg! I was literally just talking about how no one ever ranks the Birthday Barbies! I recently just started collecting them. I only have the 1997 one so far. Also Happy Upcoming Birthday! I enjoy your vids 💖
16:40 the “mama this is garbage, I do not like this doll” sounded like a rap or song to me
Every time DarlingDollz uploads, my mood becomes happy.
2022 has such a fun vintage bubble flip hairstyle!
Happy upcoming Birthday! I love carrot cake but I love how you did your tiers- very creative! I was happy you love the 1991 bday!

FAVES:

Happy birthday! Such a fun video. 1996 was one of my first barbies as a kid so the nostalgia is strong. The balloon print is magical.
I had the 2019 Birthday Barbie! She was my absolute favorite so I am happy to see her in Cookie cake where she belongs. I also had 2015 and 2016 so its hard to see them so low because of nostalgia 💔

happy birthday !!!
Happy birthday! Love your channel! I hope you have a wonderful day, even if this isn't your birthday!
I have a soft spot for 1992 Barbie. One of the few dresses we had and I'm a sucker for both blue/pink/white color schemes and roses.
Also, I do not like carrot cake as well. I think a lot of it is the texture for me.
"So you're just gonna rate birthday barbies for your birthday as a birthday gift for your birthday?"
Happy birthday 🎂🥳🎊 🎁
Happy early birthday!! I totally forgot I had the 2002 doll. She is kinda plain in retrospect but I’d rank her so high for the nostalgia alone.
Does any remember when Barbie came out with a quinceañera doll? I not sure the year it was out but she has I believe a face mold from the early 90s, her dress was white. That’s the one Barbie I vividly remember getting as a present, mostly bc my favorite dolls were bratz and Polly pocket😅 but this Barbie I’m talking was giving to me when I turned 15 so idk if she’d count as a bday doll
Also HBD! Hope you get everything you wish for and are blessed to see many more❤️❤️❤️❤️
This came out on my sister's birthday! Perfect timing!
I saw the 1995 birthday barbie in an antique store recently and she blew me away. I'm a sucker for color and the pink, yellow, and blue combo along with the iridescent cellophane is so pretty. and the sleeves are so big and silly and amazing
Happy early Birthday!!!
I love your channel so much! Fav is definitely 99!
HAPPY ALMOST BIRTHDAY!
You always make these so entertaining! (Even though I am a carrot cake lover)
I love 1989 Happy Birthday, 1997 Birthday, 2000 Birthday Wishes (I love that shade of blue a lot), 2005 Happy Birthday (again, those rainbows are lovely imo and that was also my era of Barbie), 2006 Happy Birthday (I like the overskirt!), and my favourite is 2013 Birthday Wishes, generic maybe but I love her
HAPPY BIRTHDYA :D
Happy birthday! Great video
The way I GASPED when I saw the 2008 gorgeous Barbie like. She is EVERYTHING. The dress, the shape, THE COLORS, the hair, the face. I wanna be her
When you and your favorite doll channel have the same birthday day 😭
