I think it's sort of cheap of mattel to consider a sponge and the hook surprises. As Froggy suggested, it would be nice if they tried to lessen the amount of plastic waste in the set. I like Pineapple girl and her accessories best, but I like Strawberry Girl's pet the best.
I agree. And honestly, who wants to wear a cheap plastic bracelet?! It’s a little… -yeah. But I just LOVE the pineapple doll and strawberry’s clothing!! Watermelon was not my favorite
How cool. Will get my lil sis one. Love your reviews. They help so much on whether to buy or not. And I think Barbie lil shopping bags will be so cute and more environmentally friendly. Hope they take your idea into consideration
So one month after the recycled ocean plastic series we get the series where a plastic charm hook is packaged separately in a plastic bag (sigh) Can we just go back to dolls that are dressed and displayed in one box with extra accessories rubber-banded to a cardboard flap?
Blame the corporation who make the doll packages. I don't want to be judgemental but I think they care more about their profits than the effect their plastic products have on the environment
For all the price, it all seems pretty cheap and wasteful? The doll is cheap, the "surprises" are gimmicky and overpackaged, not to mention relying on gambling serotonin. And the moment that rubber band breaks that hair is gonna be a knotty mess EVERYWHERE. At least customisers might be able to reroot part of a doll with it. Knowing MyFroggyStuff, she'll absolutely be able to recycle the cheaper plastic tubs, but the average consumers are gonna crush them on accident then toss them. Oh well.
My thoughts exactly. I’d totally be willing to pay this much money if it meant high quality or no-waste materials. Because I understand sometimes those can be more expensive to produce. But charging over $30 for tiny plastic packages and cheap flimsy tubs? It’s a no for me.
If this concerns you you should see the other popular toys out right now. All of these toys and craft kits are unbelievably wasteful. Toy producers truly could care less about the repercussions of their waste. I have a personal vendetta against the newly popular: “make your own rubber/silicone squishy and stressball” toys that are literally just giving kids the power to make an infinite amount of non-decomposable choking hazards that will get forgotten about instantly.
"Carefully... Oops!" See? That's one of the reasons why I would never be able to buy a color reveal Barbie. I'd do it ten times worse, wet all the place and not to mention the obvious reason: I wouldn't care about the rest of the things, only shaking the doll inside the container.
I love these head molds. It might be nice to see them utilized with the Fashionistas. Overall I like these better than prior Color Reveal dolls, but they're a hair overpriced for me.
Agreed 👏. Mattel keeps on making Color reveal dolls... They must be quite proud of themselves 😂 I'm not a fan of the dolls. I think the wig and printed on top with a little skirt just looks weird (just my opinion though 🤷♂️).
Sorry but this looks like it should be like 10$ from a cheap store in the middle of nowhere. Barbie Mattel is doing so bad recently it’s hard to watch 😬
im sorry but ive always been iffy on the color reveals but this is just so cheap. other than the extra line which is still not amazing it feels like barbie is goin into the new decade being COMPLETELY mediocre
All the color reveal dolls feel overpriced to me. I wouldn't price this line at more than $15 a doll, to be honest. There's nothing special here to warrant the current price tag.
you could buy individual items from poundland/dollar tree and get twice as much if your careful. but the idea is good for a vacation present(my mum would buy something similar, vacation themed for me to open once on vacation it would keep me busy while mum unpacked and sorted out everything
I think there’s way to much waste as u said?!? Like all that plastic and a separate bag for a pole? Like surely that could be all in one or like tissue paper or paper bags as u said! The suprise is good but the waste it’s just unnecessary like that’s tiny hook?!?!! SERIOUSLY
The hook, charm, and bracelet could've all been put in with the sand and counted as one item. Same with the umbrella, pole, base, and sandbox. But they package them separately like that so they can inflate the number of 'surprises' on the box. A lot of companies do that, unfortunately.
I had that hairstyle (minus the ponytail) back in 1984/1985!!! I had 11 lines cut into the back horizontally, not in a V. I LOVED THAT STYLE! I MISS THE 80'S! 🥺
👏 Great shout out on all that unnecessary plastic packaging. Mattel moved in the right direction with making a doll line from ocean bound plastic and then ruins it right after with making another with loads of unnecessary plastic packaging! This whole surprise toy thing is so over and last decade, I can’t believe people still waste loads of money on this stuff. They really find new ways of selling dolls to us collectors, no one needs.
On the one hand, Mattel makes dolls and accessories from recycled plastic. On the other hand, Mattel makes Barbie reveal but puts all the accessories in separate plastic bags. I see a disconnect here, shame Mattel, shame.
I think my biggest issue with the whole "surprise" trend is the amount of plastic waste. I wish companies would switch to paper or something similar. The whole "surprise" thing makes people buy more and more to get the item they want, so more and more plastic is wasted. It's really disappointing to see the trend continue.
Like. Use reusable bags. Shopping bags you can cut to make reusable ones like she said! Adleast paper. Maybe a 2 suprise in one! Like again (reusable bag) with the suprise inside, JUST SOMETHING, plastic just.. mattel… you’ve done better..
Honestly, massive pass! For 30 dollars I want a doll with actual hair and lips! The fashions are so cheap looking, I've never liked the color reveal aspect, I have no idea why mattel uses ruffles on EVERYTHING, the pets are just cheap and are going to get lost in the first week, shoes never go with the outfit, the articulation is somehow even worse than dolls from 30 years ago who could atleast bend their legs and pivot their heads, the gimmick is just straight up lame, the dolls are boring and plain, etc etc. Mattel get your act together!!!
Yes! My exact thoughts, 30 dollars for these cheap accessories and gimmicks? And these sets are so obviously marketed for children yet most of the accessories are small enough for them to lose it within the first week, very disappointed in the quality and I would never buy this for myself nor a small child
Barbie “loves the ocean” ? Really ? When color reveal dolls literally need wasting water to function ? And don’t make me talk about all those useless plastic bags that wrap the “surprises”
The theme with these sets is weird. It’s fruit but it’s beach but it’s foam? And all the extra plastic is dumb, why aren’t we putting smaller surprises together? The whole bracelet could have been in one bag instead of three separate ones
As Toya suggested, The Yellow and Pink turtle is so adorable! Love it! My favourite doll is all of them! I think the surprises are so much fun! Loving it! Love you!
I felt like the pineapple dolls was the one they took more care about in terms of matching and fashion as well as details with those bangs and the fact that her dress belcroes. But for that price id be pretty dissapointed tho.
Cute but over priced. And yes, the tub should be a pool then I would say it’s worth the money. I would pay $20. I wonder, can you use the umbrella base as a lid to the sand box?
I love that the colour change seems to have gotten a lot better than it was when I was a kid 😁 however I do not like the surprise gimmick in general as I don't like promoting gambling to children. Accessories is one thing, but a whole doll being a 'surprise' that's just to far. Of course corporations are never going to stop this because they know they can get people to spend more money just based on the 'surprise' element.
@Mattel how about putting all the surprises in dissolvable mini bags, the kids are happy because they can dissolve them like they do with the Barbie AND is less contaminating than all those mini bags Just saying, give me a call lol 😂
Not a fan of the color choices. The watermelon doll has some great watermelon themed items, but then her swimsuit and umbrella are almost the same color as her skin, not to mention the weird triangles. The strawberry doll has the sweetest face sculpt but then her hair clashes with some of the gaudy not-really-matching clothes (although I love the dress). The pineapple doll is okay, and her dress is great, but everything else is just meh. :/ Maybe I just don't understand fashion. XD
too much waste from the packaging, the doll looks cheap as hell, the articulation is basic, and the tops are sculpted. buy yourself an omg with those 30 bucks instead
I’m literally so concerned with Mattel excessively using plastic in their toys. Like they need to lower it down as it doesn’t help with climate change. Hope they turn more green
I think that the base on the umbrella fits into the sandbox… just a guess tho Edit: three seconds after I said this toys was like: “I just realized that the base of the umbrella fits into the sandbox”
Paper shopping bags are a great idea for the little surprise packs...all that plastic really puts me off buying these. Is the tube container reusable after washing? Say for storing snacks or a drink container?
Funny how Mattel kept pushing the "Barbie loves the ocean" gimmick to make them feel better about themselves and still release garbage waste like these dolls. They are not worth $30 when the gimmick itself isn't lasting when you could instead spend $30 on a doll like LOL OMG or Rainbow High that can have a lasting effect.
I think it's sort of cheap of mattel to consider a sponge and the hook surprises. As Froggy suggested, it would be nice if they tried to lessen the amount of plastic waste in the set. I like Pineapple girl and her accessories best, but I like Strawberry Girl's pet the best.

But I do respect ppl who want to wear the bracelet it’s just not my favorite
I'm more annoyed that they split the umbrella into 4 parts and counted it at 4 surprises. I'd call it 2 (umbrella + sandbox) at the very most.
%45
Totally agree. I think the bracelet is a little stupid and some of the accessories or really cheep looking
I love how excited she got when she had good ideas😂
Hahaha
Hire froggy Mattel!
Me too 😄
I got my 1st Color Reveal Barbie Doll at Walgreens before, and I think it was affordable.
Well maybe for adults, but not for little kids 😅
I still haven’t gotten even one 😪😲🥺😩🥲😅
How cool. Will get my lil sis one. Love your reviews. They help so much on whether to buy or not. And I think Barbie lil shopping bags will be so cute and more environmentally friendly. Hope they take your idea into consideration
Mini shopping bags would be so cool 🤩

They could even just be paper shopping bags qnd itd be better tgan all that plastic lol even LOL and OMG folls have less plastic 😂

Can we just go back to dolls that are dressed and displayed in one box with extra accessories rubber-banded to a cardboard flap?
It’s just to make them look better
Or wrap the surprises is paper instead? Too much plastic 😔

fr!! back in the days barbie play sets (1959-1990s) they would come in an all cardboard boxes with minimal plastic in the sets.

Totally agree with you.
Thank you! YES! This. All of this. Perfectly nailed it, right down to the "serotonin reliance" and the horrific waste.

@@shyjeshpoduval2641 They're pretty expensive where I live (Almost the price of two Fashionistas) and to be honest, I wasn't too excited about them.

So that one umbrella was three "surprises"? I'll pass on this one

@@SuccubiWeiying rude person 😝
@@aarm9081 its their opinion-
Stop being rude if you don’t like that you do it
These are so overpriced for what they are. You get a single outfit, a single doll, single accessory and a dollar store bath toy.
The first 2 runs was a decent price but I totally agree this is too much. I think your mostly paying for the tub Wich sucks because it’s like 1 use
Sorry but this looks like it should be like 10$ from a cheap store in the middle of nowhere. Barbie Mattel is doing so bad recently it’s hard to watch 😬

Thx for the dolltastic printable!
I love the clothes and accessories but the dolls just aren’t it 🥲✨

How are the dolls a surprise when they have a giant picture on the back??
I guess corporations forgot the meaning of surprise in the dictionary

It's not even a surprise because you know which tub goes with each doll. It's just ridiculous overpackaging.
honestly i hoped with the success of fashion dolls like rainbow high and more surprise toys using paper theyd stop but no apparently
Like. Use reusable bags. Shopping bags you can cut to make reusable ones like she said! Adleast paper. Maybe a 2 suprise in one! Like again (reusable bag) with the suprise inside, JUST SOMETHING, plastic just.. mattel… you’ve done better..
I'm early it would be so cool to make rooms that match the dolls vibe ☺️
All I could think the whole opening is "that's too much plastic. Omg that's way too much plastic." Which....makes me definitely not wanna get one.
Totally, even that stupid hook in separate plastic bag.... they should made the bags out of paper.
@@Mike-or2cv or that cornstarch "plastic" they make packing peanuts out of so they dissolve in water.
I came here to see you spill the liquid LOOL 😂
lol me too 😂
My favorite is the pineapple girl but, the watermelon girl has the best pet accessory!

Can't wait to see you recycling those fruit pools into one of your marvellous artworks!
I hope they’re saving their budget for the upcoming Monster High release!☺️
That is a liquid! 😂 Your reactions crack me up because most of the time you say what I’m thinking!
😂🤣😂
okay that watermelon set is totally my favorite
I'm sure you can DIY a strawberry pool or bathtub. You can use the plastic as just a stencil or reference.
Great ideas, I hope Mattel is watching.
Wow, looking forward to seeing these on the shelves
Is no one gonna talk about how cute the doll and the accessories are???
When are you going to uplaod the new printables and craft on youtube? Can't wait. bTW, I just got my first colour reveal doll. 💖😃
First!!!! Love u toya
Myfrogystuff is the best Chanel for all things dolls
I was waiting for her to realize that the umbrella stand was a cover🤣🤣
Yeah me too

The mini shopping bag idea would be great. I do like the large plastic tube. Your video you did on reusing the tube was great.
As Toya suggested, The Yellow and Pink turtle is so adorable! Love it! My favourite doll is all of them! I think the surprises are so much fun! Loving it! Love you!
So many suprised! Definilty worth it
Ik this has nothing to do with the vid but a good idea is to use Jenga pieces to make doll such! Like beds, couch, and more!
Hopefully you see this
I think this year they made the hair great like it isn’t so puffy and weird looking also love you toya ….opps can’t forget Bella!!!
I felt like the pineapple dolls was the one they took more care about in terms of matching and fashion as well as details with those bangs and the fact that her dress belcroes. But for that price id be pretty dissapointed tho.
Instead of plastic bags, the box should have some type of compartments for the surprises. Save on waste and it’s still a surprise
Yeah
You could make a base for the tubs for the smaller dolls
The 7 easy wedding crafts was awesome ❤️❤️
So cool love the video!!! You are the best!!! You make me love to collect dolls!!
My mom would have never bought me this when I was little. She did not like toys that required water or that made a mess. 🤣
I swear froggy needs to collaborate with Barbie
Cute but over priced. And yes, the tub should be a pool then I would say it’s worth the money. I would pay $20. I wonder, can you use the umbrella base as a lid to the sand box?
Yeah i noticed that about the sandbox too, i think you can bc it looks like it can slot into it
Yes 😃 I realized it later in the video 😅
Wow these look so cool!Love the foam!Love you froggy 🥰
Cmon with all these ideas toya HAS to work at Barbie (Mattel) 💜

Those big rubber bags are awesome! 😍
maybe the stand for the umbrella is a lid for the sand box?
U should decorate all the stuff u got!!!😍
My daughter loves color reveals! Now I have to get this for her lol
The Watermelon Barbie's swimsuit is nearly the same color as her skin, and I keep thinking she's naked.
Same
They look so cool!!! I wish they did more Scent Surprises besides Strawberry, Pineapple, and Watermelon.
Woooow amazing❤😁❤
@Mattel how about putting all the surprises in dissolvable mini bags, the kids are happy because they can dissolve them like they do with the Barbie AND is less contaminating than all those mini bags

Lovin the summer vibes from those dolls
Luv u toya 🏝🏖🌴⛱☀️
Hi froggy me and my sister love your channel!! 🐸
I counted on all three sets and could not come up with 25 surprises unless I counted the shaking tube : (
I luv those dolls :D

too much waste from the packaging, the doll looks cheap as hell, the articulation is basic, and the tops are sculpted. buy yourself an omg with those 30 bucks instead
I think that it would be so cool if Toya made her own toys because she has great ideas for toys.
Love the bags❤️
i love this
My daughter seen this at Walmart and we got on it was the Strawberry one and we both had fun with the Barbie.
these will be perfect for my little sis

Um this is so much useless plastic packaging and the dolls are not worth 30 dollars 😐
Paper shopping bags are a great idea for the little surprise packs...all that plastic really puts me off buying these. Is the tube container reusable after washing? Say for storing snacks or a drink container?
I like the idea of these, but for a business so dependent on cheap plastic it should all be recycled plastic.
With tax that would be $100 for all 3. Ughhhhh Mattel. I loved them though. 😍
I had the worse day but thia vid made my day better
Tip: the umbrella’s sand part fits into the sand box! (Probably)
Funny how Mattel kept pushing the "Barbie loves the ocean" gimmick to make them feel better about themselves and still release garbage waste like these dolls.
