Discontinued & Forgotten Doll Lines (PART 7) 

yes ! those dolls looked so good. i would grab them if they were around today

I know! I can't believe they flopped 😔 I have all of them.

No they weren’t. The pants had printed on details. Cheap

Ikr they just popped up in stores for a while then kinda just left

I honestly don't even remember them. Mattel should have marketed them better.

You can still find some on walmart and amazon website!

I only discovered them this past June. It's a shame Mattel put so little effort into this line, because there are a lot of great little details. The doll named Roswell has the best T-shirt underneath her purple mesh top: a little sunglass-wearing cow is getting sucked into a UFO. Another doll's Walkman has a removable cassette. There are little nods to Monster High on clothing. Mattel just...didn't bother.

They basically got buried by OMG and hair amazing dolls. It was more of a timing thing than it was of a fail thing! They were good dolls but not great dolls. They tried way too hard! And MGA creamed them

It is a shame I was remaining hopeful for a Hades` doll release and Dizzy never came to my country stores....

They will do 2 more movies 💀

@@Audreyana yeah bit they are spin offs

Honestly I’m glad their doll line failed & I’m sick to death with the criticism Barbie is getting. The Barbie brand has tried to be more diverse, and as a result has started seeing a drop in their quality due to the costs of making new molds constantly. And dare I say, a lot of the Barbie dolls these days are not looking good anymore. So if it’s true that this doll line ended and they were a key player in Barbies decline, good riddance, we don’t need that toxic crap in the doll industry

Exactly. It’s very “not like other girls”. A realistic doll doesn’t mean it has to be unfashionable. The doll was hella bland as well. Lammily could’ve been better as an educational tool to teach about skincare, periods, puberty, but instead they chose to go…their route

The other problem with Lammily for me was that Lamm's fans were mostly arrogant, rabid Barbie haters who would shame you out of the social media groups if they discovered you liked Barbie, Bratz or any other non-Lammily doll line. I was in one of the Facebook groups for Lammily once just to see what the new releases were and I was shocked to see they were accusing Mattel of copying Lammily and saying that Lammily was the first fashion doll to have a wheelchair - I almost got run off the group for pointing out that there were 3 versions of Barbie's friend Becky who came with wheelchairs! Share a Smile, School Photographer and Paralympics Becky! I was also attacked for mentioning the different Barbie body types because the curvy Barbies could never be any kind of representation because they were pretty and had curves instead of being plain and flat like Lammily. Sigh. The entire line and the community that went with it was just so toxic. I'm glad they're gone, honestly.

The Lammily Doll was so deep into the uncanny valley that I had a nightmare where she choked me to death. It also didn't make tall girls feel pretty since we are naturally long legged usually.

I totally agree! They went about it wrong while bashing other fashion dolls but I think there could’ve been potential. But I still think they’re ugly af

Really? I didn't know that. I follow one of the WHC creators on IG.

@@texbex1468 yes! They even had accessories that belonged to MH dolls, like Cori's earrings, who were Kala Meris' originally.

It kind of reminds me of American Girl where they have a line where you can pick a doll that looks like you and now a days they have the option to fully customize your doll(if you have $200) though

Yes, they are about to release new EQG, they're taller, but they're kind of weird looking. I will probably get one because I like the pet deer it comes with lol

@@grimya13 are you sure they're EQG?

Omg noooo they're Enchantimals! But, I mean, they're kinda similar lol

@@grimya13 Lmao that's what I thought when I read your comment 😂

Same never understood the hype either

I think the hype came from the fact that it was classic Disney villians with sons and daughters. So the concept itself is what got people invested. At least thats my guess

@@ShadamyLover15 makes sense but ever after high is still better imo.

I miss ever after high 😔

Let's throw some words on the box!!!

Yes! They're such good dolls, and the little fashion/accessory packs are cute too!

@@anyu If only they'd gotten some trousers as well. Poor trouserless dolls. :-(

@@christineherholz9359 That WAS weird that the packs only came with tops, yeah. Jacy is my favorite, but she's hard to redress because no other doll pants I have fit her. ☹️ I ended up putting her in Barbie dresses with sweatshirts or coats on top so it kind of looks like she's wearing a skirt and I can vary up her look.

yes - I remember them, didn't the old ones have large heads and small bodies though?

@@sammyclegg i think, they had ragdoll Raggity Anne type dolls and little figurines, not like the fashion dolls they rebooted

I had two Holly Hobbie rag dolls when I was little.

Exactly! Someone gets it!

A RU-vidr called Negative Legend did an entire video about this franchise like a week ago I believe. If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it

@@ShadamyLover15 ohhh I heard of him before! thanks for the info

They still were out of date and questionable. Their fashions were not stylish in any way, shape or form. The issue is that they were 80s inspired not in a good way though, WHC came out in 2018 their fashions however looked like they were from 2014.

@@bratzscene3131 Yeah I dunno how are they saying that it's supposed to be 80s themed when it reminded me more of "EMO" era in the early 2000s haha.

Does naughties mean 2000s ? In uk ?

@@kawakami5724 yes

@@bratzscene3131 thx!

I bought two of the WHC on discount the blond and the blue hair. When I opened them and read their little magazine thing and it said who their best friend was I was like oh dear I wish I had bought her too. I think that was kind of neat marketing thing. A cute guilt trip lol.

And US only. :/

Me: 👀

And BEGOTHS ;-;

We deffo have Equestria Girls, Kuu Kuu Harajuku and Shoppies here haha

I hate them 😭

I love them because it will come to Netflix on 24th sep 2021

Honestly I think the descendants dolls look quietly Fair accurate to the actors

Liddle Kiddles were made by Mattel and were also teeny tiny.

“Lammily helps you understand why mommy’s sad all the time! Midsize SUV sold separately.”

Thank you for saying this, a childhood friend of mine got strech marks at the exact same age as you when I was a child, and it made me so heartbroken to see her wear long pants constantly. Even when it was blistering hot out... I always tried my best to tell her she was awesome just the way she was, but, naturally when you hear society be so cruel to people with stretch marks for so many years, it gets to you. She ended up getting body issues because of it, and gained a eating disorder, too.

War leider nur ein "USA-only" Produkt. Nicht einmal in Kanada wurden diese Puppen verkauft. Frage mich ob die Puppen erfolgreicher gewesen waeren wenn man diese weltweit verkauft haette.

No, because Disney is posting videos online about the wedding now. No dolls though

Exactly! As a kid I never saw Barbie (or any other doll) as a real human. They were more like fictional characters that allowed me to create their own adventures and fashions. Same thing with cartoons and comics. So weirder so better! Today, as an adult, I do like the more realistic fashion and there is a reason why there are toy lines and collector lines. Once again, most adults do not know what entertainment kids really like and sometimes (indirectly) ruin it for them.

@@morinomajou yes, Dreamtopia dolls have diversity, there are curvy princesses, fairies and mermaids but they are too cheap and tacky We need high quality fairytale Barbie dolls, each doll with a specific color scheme to make each doll unique and different from the others
