I love the recycled packaging now, but I wish they could’ve done this sooner! It would’ve helped a lot with our recycling situation. Also I really hope they aren’t just doing this for this specific line, cause it would be unfortunate if they used this method for this doll line but then forget about it in future lines :/
Well said Angelo, I wondered the same thing. I hope they stick with it too and I'd like it to even get better. With recycled paper for their packaging and natural healthy inks for the printing. Love Mother Earth.💚
All lines should include these features. The hair is nice. Tempted to buy one as an gift for someone. I found these on Instagram first. I bought the one with the pigtails. I redid her hair because it was messy.
@@quacksmeow Yeah. Best part of coming home after a crappy day at school. Then COPPA happened... Eh, her crafts never really lost their charm, but there was that moment when I was legit scared the magic was lost. Thank God our Froggy Godmother is here to stay! 💚🐸✨
I bought the Barbie Loves the Ocean Barbie doll intending to pass the doll on and just keep the clothing items. But when I got her, I fell in love with her hair coloring and have decided to keep her. The only negative to this set is the sunglasses are not wide enough to properly fit her face and keep popping off. I say this line of dolls and playsets is a Yes.
i’ve recently gotten into barbie again as an adult, and it’s so incredible what has happened in the last ten years! more body types, hair types, skin tones, disabilities; so many great things for diversity 💖
Seeing how unchanged that base bottle for the sunscreen/sunblock lotion is uncanny. I used to have the Kelly + bathroom set as a kid and as a kid slowly lost all the pieces(except the doll of course)😆😆 Now as an adult, any small accessories go into a Ziploc bag for safe keeping.
@@hazzastyles THIS THIS THIS 😭👏👏 I remember asking for boy dolls, but my parents were like: but you have Barbie and her friends. And me being a kid was like: Barbie needs friends that are boys too 😆
I've already priced out the entire collection so I can start saving 😁 I do have the original Malibu Barbie and The SunSet Malibu Skipper doll and would fit will with this whole set! Definitely a buy!
I can't even express how happy and excited I am that they made these. Making these new sets and dolls out of recycled plastics is a really good idea. We only have one earth, and we need to take care of it! Remember to reduce, reuse, and recycle! ❤
# 3 is so retro, down to the pearly blue eyeshadow. The peasant top is also retro to the 1970's. She reminds me of a life-guard friend from that era. I love, love, love the cooler and Volleyball net.....Mattel needs to provide the stickers for the cellphone and suntan lotion as they look more realistic that way. At least they aren't the cardboard accessories, which are awful!
I already have the dolls, and I love them, I was debating on the play sets but after viewing this awesome review, Im definitely gonna have to have them.🥰🤗😉
Love! So happy to see Barbie team up with 4Ocean🌊 I’m part of the clean ocean club for about a year now! Toya you’d love this charity/retail organization. It's Very very cool!💙💎 the dolls are cute and for what they are, I don't mind the lack of articulation. Loving the surfboards!!!❤️
Dear Toya, you are such an inspiration❤ I started watching your videos when I was around 7 or 8 and I'm currently 18 years old and I still enjoy your videos and your progress. Thank you for inspiring me all these years❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've been watching this channel since 2016 when i was 8 and now I'm 14 and I can't wait to buy these recycled dolls and play setss omgg I'm suooo exciteddd
I'm an owner of the original Malibu Barbie, Ken, Francie, and Skipper. These dolls and playsets definitely have the same fun in the sun vibe. What I wouldn't give for bend and snap knees though! I wish they would use translucent plastic for the glasses. Any color, but see through. You could always paint the frames later. Your surfboard is genius!
This is an awesome video! Thanks for doing a Buyer's Guide on this set! In my opinion, these sets and dolls are a buy because one, your helping the planet while playing, and two, it looks like some great stuff to play with! Love you Toya and Bella ♡♡♡
I am loving this whole line! My biggest gripes with the Barbie Color Reveal line is how we're not sure what the concealing paint is/if it's water safe and how much plastic waste it makes. I'm always happy when dolls have reusable or minimal packaging so this whole thing is a must buy!
I got lounge chair set today. I may get the drink set because I love the stools & accessories. Not sure about the dolls yet. I want Malibu Barbie again.
Hey toya, I used to watch you when I was 6 or 5 and I am 11 yrs old thank you for inspiring me to make doll rooms and house decor I love your videos😍🤩🤩👩💻🤟👍
oooooOOooOo i love this playset i hope to get one and i always went on your channel a long time ago and you just bring me such grate , lovely , nice , awesome memories . stay safe
HI.. TOYA!! HAPPY MONDAY!! THE DOLLS IS A BUY!! FOR ME...THE OCEAN DOLL ITEMS!! IS NOT FOR ME... I PASS ON THEM!! BUT I DO INJOY!! WATCHING YOU!! GREAT JOB!! TOYA!!
Hi toya!!!!!! I used to watch you when I was like 7 and then I recently started watching you again. On one of your livestreams I asked if you could do a baby yoda themed room, because I had recently started watching you again I did not know that you already is a Star Wars themed room. I also meant like it would be only themed baby yoda instead of just Star Wars. I am very sorry if the comment I asked in your livestream was a bother. I really do like you channel. You are very fun to watch and I love doing crafts and it all started when I was like 7 and would watch your videos!
i wish all toy companies would take the idea of using ocean-bound plastics and also using the paper surprise bags from LOL surprise and make all their toys with that
I love this line!!! Such a wonderful idea. I bought one of the dolls today. 🥰 I want to know your ideas for making the pink sunglass lenses shiny and/or reflective!
I see the inspiration from the Malibu Barbie and Friends lineup. There's going to be a Malibu Barbie, PJ and Steffie giftset released at some point or another from the Signature lineup. The pigtails girl has the same hairstyle as PJ, Barbie is... well... Barbie, of course, and the deep skin girl reminds me of Steffie, who had brown hair in her early versions. I hope we end up with fashion packs made from recycled materials and mtm dolls too! I definitely agree with you on improving the packaging, Mattel could certainly afford to do it, there's really no excuse. I think this might be them testing the waters (hah, do you get it?) with whether or not people are interested in buying toys made from recycled materials.
When I went to Barnes and Noble with my ICE group last month, I found some Barbie Loves the Ocean dolls, and their hair was all messed up! Naturally, I was horrified, and I tried to show my teacher and get her to care about them as well, but she wouldn’t because we had to leave! The next time I go to Barnes and Noble, I’ll get everybody to care about the Barbie Loves the Ocean dolls and fix their hair! Wish me luck! 👸🏻🧚🏻♀️🧜🏻♀️🧞♀️💝💖💗💕🌹💐🌷🌸🌺🎀🩰🐱🦄🍰🧁🍩
I'm not fully sure about the dolls packaging. I mean, I already seen loads of Fashionistas without their shoe because somehow, people got to tuck their finger inside the box and steal their boots, sandals or whatever they were wearing. In fact, I had to e-mail Mattel and ask for them to send me a pair for the Fashionistas 124 I bought because someone stole her boots. I also suggested that they change the packaging and so far, I believe it's working to prevent this kind of incident. I do like the idea of Mattel using recycled plastic on the dolls, but they really should've thought about it a little better on the boxes.
Yep, Mattel did pretty good with this bunch of play sets and the dolls are okay. I have ordered these and only ordered the AA doll because I like both the doll and the outfit. I like the Barbie outfit, but not enough to have to buy another doll too, as the doll is just so-so. The other doll and fashion just didn't do anything for me. I love the recycling/less packaging, that is great and a bit overdue too. They will get much more business from me going that way than all of that surprise stuff plastic packaging that ends up in landfills and the ocean. I skipped buying the volleyball set as it was so small and fake looking. I'd rather do a MyFroggyStuff type versus and make my own. But I bought the other two play sets and it's great to see them up close and so pretty on this video. I will display my vintage Malibu's with them. Can't wait to get them in the mail. 🥰🌊🦈
