Thank you for your heads up. My wallet is relieved as these releases are SO playline. I love your commentary; I am continually impressed by your nuance and well articulated remarks and that in another language besides your mother tongue. Few North Americans can do this, including me: I speak German, French and Dutch badly. It makes me appreciate Europeans more.
Thank you for your kind words. 💖 Growing up bilingual (German, Farsi), English was easy to pick up for me as a third language. Guess my brain was wired to do so already. 😸
Welcome back! You were missed! I always appreciate your opinions and sadly you are typically 100% on the mark. I miss the old days of Barbie quality and fashion and personally am collecting mainly 90's early 2000 Barbies. I do like some of the fashionistas coming out but will have to wait and see them in person. I miss the days when Barbie meant quality, value and fashion.
@@Scotty-Z70 the sales was declining badly from the early 2000s til 2017 and in 2017 Barbie finally seen a increase in sales after more than a decade long in decling sales
@@tevinthelifestyleguy2570 so, you would rather have poor quality so Mattel can make maximum profit? Cali Girl, the poseable Fashionistas, and Flavas were some of their best work, and it only didn't make money because they put so much into the dolls. I'm not interested in profit. I'm not a Ferengi. I care about quality.
As a former Barbie designer, I only remember one year when we had massive layoffs from 2007-2012. There was also only one year that I didn’t get a raise during that time period.
I like most of the new fashion packs. I was getting discouraged because here it is March and we hadn't had any new clothing items for this year other than that huge fashion set.
That's a very wide range of options coming out this year! Thanks for covering! I don't see it as being negative, merely discerning. I'm soooo very curious about the new Fashionistas you mention near the end. I like the same fashion packs, the pencil skirt on the candidate, the exclusive doll/dress and the adorable way they incorporated the pets into the sleeping bag. Great video! ✌🏾
The video was great the dolls mostly trash... XDDDD Also on the collector one the fingerless gloves and open tip boots look more like a cost cutting choice than a design detail to me... And even the prototype has the nails painted on the knuckle...
제가 생각하기에 바비는 아마 세계에서 가장 유명한 인형임에는 분명할 것입니다. 바비의 역사는 65년의 긴 역사를 가진 만큼 자부심을 가져도 충분하다 생각합니다. 저두 어릴적에 바비를 데리고 놀아서 바비에 대한 추억이 많아요. 지금은 구관유튜버로써 바비는 두점만 소장하구 있지만. 제게도 바비는 소중하답니다.
The Barbie pet from the Dreamtopia advent calendar is a seahorse. These pets and some of the accessories are reused molds from the Barbie Mermaid Power line.
In fairness to the “Barbie quality” comments, most of what you covered in this video were inexpensive playline dolls aimed at children. Aside from the gorgeous Styled By Design doll, you didn’t mention the new line of Barbie Looks dolls (which we have many photos of), the 65th Anniversary Brooklyn/Millie ball gown dolls, the Pink Collection 4 doll or the 12 Days of Spring Boxed set. All are aimed at adult collectors (but are online, not in Walmart or Target).
I would have loved to feature the Looks dolls I'm looking forward to, but we sadly still don't have the official promo shots from retail Sites. Wonder when those will pop up 🤔 Thank you for watching and commenting ☺️
