Gorgeous gowns, a sensational suit and thanks to boiling water, Malibu was cured of her “swollen glands “. 😂 I laughed so hard at her appearance that I cried. Mattel has no quality control. Anyone could see there was a big issue with her head while she was still in the box. But your cure was sure! 🩷🌷🩷
Wow!! I'm so glad that you could fix Millie's head!! I'll take a note of this for the future. I really like these dolls. This Millie's makeup really suits her and gives her a lot of personality. Also, a side glance is another extra point for me. And Brooklyn looks stunning with this new facemold with closed mouth. I hope they release more dolls like this.
I would’ve loved to see a winking screening. Imagine the little wink peaking over the cat eye sunglasses. That would have been so cute, unique and very collectible.
Glad you were able to rescue poor Malibu! These transformations are all so beautiful. Got hit with so much nostalgia when seeing the "Barbie Party" one!
Ballon Head Lol!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Because My Jaw is Aching Of Laugh of Brooklyn When She Saying miss Balloon Head🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Laugh Out Loud!
I like broklyn😂😂 but Malibu is my girl. She did it for me but I am buying both cause I just can’t separate them. They will be black and white twins for life 😂😂😂. Love this review
I am so in Malabo, as I have been there and I was born in New York City back in 2003. And I’m also in in the Malabo group as I LOVE her, I have about 101 Barbie dolls in my collection with Barbie, her friends and family all together in my bedroom in my house this year, in 2024.
Both dolls are stunning in their gowns. So glad you could fix the Malibu Barbie it's so annoying when that happens. All the looks were really nice who doesn't love a big poofy gown 🤣😍 P.s I have seen the Malibu Barbie with Brown eyes not blue 🤔
OMG OMG I am so happy you were able to fix Barbie Malibu. Geeez, that was a close one. You are so right. When buying a collectible and $pending good coin$, you should have to boil Barbie head. Seriously. Nevertheless, the fix was super amazing. Love all the fashions, but my favorites are the last two. Pink and White. Anyways, glad your girls are well. Happy for you. Keep up the great work. Hugs from Santa Fe, NM.
I am team both! Brooklyn's hair is twisted not braided. I think if you want to take them apart you can, not sure about the hair quality bif you do. Malibu's hair, I love that you used the curlers. So pretty and curly. My favorite outfits, the birthday dresses🎉🎉
Hubbie got my Brooklyn. Definitely going to leave her hair down and restyle her in Rhiannas 2019 box braid look with pink dress. Definitely gonna try and add some red to her braids and give her a Loud 2010 homage.
As always your lookbooks are amazing I'm in love with Brooklyn's face and want her, however I'm not willing to pay that much. I hope I will be able to buy her on Black Friday if she will be avaible and the price will go down more😊
I know you think you don't have as many styling options with braids, but we wear & style them in countless ways. Maybe look up some microbraid styles & try them out. I personally find styling braids is much easier than styling loose hair. I believe in you! You really can't ruin them. I hope I can get the Brooklyn. I love her hair it was my go-to style as a teenager! I know you would prefer saran, but I I'm not a fan of Black dolls with straight hair. I really wat to see her with big beautiful natural hair like Barbie Extra #1. As she'd make a perfect mini me & I wouldn't have to paint on many more freckles.❤ I really hope I can find a way to buy her as my 1st Brooklyn. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you! I'm so glad you were able to fix your Malibu.
i’ll take on any challenge so bring on the micro braids! 😉🩷✌🏻 haha, I do think the micro braids that were used on the Kim faced fashionista were somehow better quality?! 🤷🏼♂️ these ones feel like it’s crafty rope or something. Anyway! Thanks for the encouragement darling! 🩷✌🏻
Hi Arjen I just love ur videos. I was wondering why your Barbie head was at such a strange angle in comparison to the other one. She looks like a bubble headed blowfish. I'm so glad you were able to fix it. There is no way they didn't realize that on a collector doll. Hello Mattel quality control. I just love their luxurious hair I also like that you kept the original bodies. Gorgeous make overs darling ❤😘.
In watching your video, you have inspired me to start planning my birthday celebration Barbie style. I have to plan because my birthday is in July. I am excited! Thank you so much.💕💕💕
Still need to get a 65th anniversary doll but not sure who to get... They are both stunning!! So awesome that you returned Barbies head back to normal!! 👏👏 Love the girls in big poofy dresses, they really rock them!! Btw have you tried the black and white gown on your Mariah doll?? Think she will look gorggg in it!! 💜💜💜
As a black doll collector, if Brooklyn didn’t have braids, curls or an Afro, I personally would not have purchased her. And there are a lot of styles you can do with micro braids. You just treat it as if the hair was loose.
I'm obsessed with these two, and I now love them even more after the looks you gave them, I really hope we get some beautiful pink Birthday Wishes dolls with these two heads soon! I also love the Model Muse body with the two bend arms, it's the only body that I feel can replace the Superstar era bodies for me personally.
brooklyn is mega mega gorgeous!! i was already in love when i saw the malibu teasers but brooklyn made this look a 10/10 4 me. also i adore her braids & appreciate them as some1 who is terrible @ styling hair 😆 She's perfect right out of the box & i wouldnt touch her if i had her!!
First of all, LOVE Miss Brooklyn (and the new sculpt) and plan to get her soon. She looked beautiful in all your new styles! And Arjen, you are a miracle worker and somehow made your misshapen Malibu gorgeous (although tbh I would have just returned her to Mattel, lol)…😄
I keep going back and forth as to which to get. I was going to get Brooklyn, but I have that pink Silkstone outfit that looks so good on Malibu. They are $100 on Amazon in Canada, so I might wait to see if they go on sale. I would like both, but not for the regular price.
Aww man that poor head on your doll. Why didn’t somebody catch that? I’m glad you got her fixed. I couldn’t decide which one to order but I went with the blonde. She’s hasn’t arrived yet. Hopefully she has no issues. They look gorgeous. I think they did a good job with this doll.
I had a silk stone reproduction of the original Barbie that came out for the 15th anniversary of Barbie in 1974. I played with her the same as the click knee Barbies I had as a kid.
I have Brooklyn Anniversary Barbie and I have to say that i agree about the hair. But anyways she looks beautiful. I was thinking about dresing her into Superstar Christie '77 yellow dress and see how she will Look. What do you think?
The gowns are so beautiful it seems longer than 65 years for Barbie but its cute to recognize her. The faces are pretty good work to restore the head shape it might return though this happened to a few of mine but I used sterile cotton balls inside the head, there isnt a neck peg either, and the dent hasnt come back. The bent arm position is a little weird the dress is nice.
They shouldn't even have their head t-tied to the package on collector dolls, imo. They didn't have it that way for the new Mermaid Odile doll & she was just fine ! And she's a playline.
I'm glad you got your closed mouth Millie's head fixed. That's one case where you definitely have to de-box. I will likely de-box mine too simply because I don't like the pose the doll is in. It's supposed to look like she has her hands fashionably resting on her hips. But they're not even close and they're fastened into place with her elbows so raised up she looks like she's about to dance at a hoedown. Not model a beautiful 65th Anniversary gown. It's a shame too because I love the perfect Barbie pink background behind the doll in that particular gown. I might just free her and then pose her back in her box. The doll itself is SO pretty, I love the hair, makeup and jewelry marking that it's her sapphire Anniversary. It's a splendid presentation except for the hands and elbows being fixed in place and not being where they should be. But other than that and those still pesky quality issues like you had to deal with, the dolls are really great for Barbie's 65th. I loved when you put Millie in the Proudly Pink suit, that looked amazing. So fun to see them dressed in the 90's boufy ballgowns too. I don't know if you do this, but I always then wonder what the next Anniversary doll for her 70th will look like? Happy Easter. 🐰🐣🎀
OMG! So this is what you were talking about on your previous response to my comment. That's just so bad. I hope they stop doing that cause sometimes it ruins the dolls head. Could've been a lot better if they boxed it like the 90's where they used like a wire holding the neck and a plastic for the hair instead. BTW: my hubby, who's a big supporter of mine when it comes to collecting, preferred the Brooklyn one over the Malibu.
12:05 ok, this looks like an E. T. type of head shape... 😅 What they were even thinking... 60 dollars + shipping and these are not playing but collectors'. Mattel, you gotta upgrade.
The blonde malibu looks like me when my face puffed up on prednisone 😂 (from a front facing viewpoint), i also just refuse to like the millie sculpt... the brooklyn doll is much more my style shes stunning with the closed mouth sculpt!
Hey I wanted your help barbination I have the Barbie extra fancy pink and I really want to change her outfit but since it’s leather I am scared it will tear if I take it if and put it on repeatedly what should I do should I change her clothes???
😲 Ohh! well maybe she is cursed, although Amazon can get so weird with releases at first.. We gotta see you handle her so she must find her way soon! Did see the brooklyn make over and was obsessed with the re paint you did! 🙌🏻🩷
In the sketches, it looked like the over skirt and bust would’ve been more like a pleather material, and though I’m sad we didn’t get that, what makes me sadder are the raw edges on the scalloped ends. The quality between these girls and the 60th anniversary Barbie is not too far apart, but far enough that I wouldn’t buy them for more than 50€ :(
I got the Brooklyn for free for being an Amazon Vine member. I picked her because of her new face mold and her micro braids. I paired her with the 40th Anniversary Barbie. I took her out of the box immediately. I don't like the way she looked in the box. Her glasses do look cute on one of my reproductions. Don't get the whole sunglasses with a gown thing. She should have come with more accessories.
i am probably alone on this and am sorry if i offend. mattels droping the ball with their collector dolls. the quality is just not there anymore. more and more of them are flawed. i am going to stick to vintage and the 90s reproduction dolls. i love you barbie happy 65th birthday, you bring me such joy and love
Great Job Again and Always Arjen! I did get the Malibu and am not considering the Brooklyn. Your hair and plastic surgery skills are amazing! I watched your FOMO video for the 3rd time to help me be more selective and enjoying what I have. When strolling down the doll aisle, I have thought to myself, "Remember what Arjen said, do I really love this doll enough to buy it and if I buy it, what will I do with it."
