The way that elongated container just kept on coming as you raised your hand! Great comparison, and I agree, I think a little girl would be twice as happy with Ella at half the price!
Barbie's top looks like when I put a bunch of stickers all over my laptop, step back and look at it for 10 seconds, and decide it's messy and fugly so I peel them back off.
I love them both but I'm 50/50 - I prefer barbie's body proportions - I like Dream Ella's articulation more - I prefer Barbie's face this time cause she have make up (Finally!!) - I love Dream Ella's cohesive color scheme and skirt But comparing Dream ella to past Color reveal barbie dolls she's definitely a lot better
Hey Joey!! Just want to say how much of an inspiration you are! Ive started to collect some barbies, rainbow high, and IT toys because of you! Keep going you are doing amazing!
For me it’s Barbie all the way in this one, at least she have a cute face I can swap into a mtm, the “reveal” is more enjoyable with the clear tube and the color change feature which is what I’ve seen kids enjoy a lot fades away in seconds on dream Ella, in Barbie it stays a lot better
"What's the look we're going for here? Is it like, a clown going to prom?" Gotta love the color reveal video because the roasts just keep getting funnier lmao
I love this Barbie Color Reveal serie, all dolls are giving me Pinkie Pie style vibes, especially the blonde one. But I will say that the one with the bun has a lot of issues💗
I am so glad you choosed Dream Ella over Barbie, I honestly liked this Barbie design (except the top) and the roothed hair is so nice but i feel like Dream Ella was design prior to this line but maybe future ones will get rooted hair! I suggest getting Ella veterinarian because the fabric is si nice, the doll has a beautiful wight and it’s much better than the colour reveal! I’m still waiting to get my hands on Yasmin colour reveal
For the color reveal dolls, it would be so cool if they came with actual clothes and accessories. And of course be less garish. I think that the wigs could be awesome if there were multiple in a set. One could be long and naturally colored, like blonde and another may be more funky like a blue or pink, and so on.
I live for dream Ella's winged heel but I kind a prefer Barbie more. Yeah, the outfit's all over the place and over the top but it kind a reminds me of 80s campy fashion. While Ella looks a little too basic looking. Also Joey, you look even more gorgeous with that stubble you got 🥰
I'm leaning toward dream Ella doll. Cheaper in price, but it seems you get a better doll and she can be dressed in other fashions. The barbie is pretty, but those glitter blue legs limit her to just that one look. I must say MGA is really giving Mattel a run for their money. However, Mattel is still superior in variety of head sculpts, hair textures and skin colors.
I wouldn't say her glittery legs limit her. I have 2 of her and made each one an outfit on my rainbow loom. A unicorn outfit/costume for one, and the other i made a pair of shorts in the colors she has on her. If I had more of the rainbow loom rubber bands, I could do more outfits :)
Well Mattel has had a long time to make those and if it’s a parody then it’s kinda making fun of how Barbie used to use the same face sculpts for decades
man... i'm so tired of the color reveals! if they were marketed as specifically color-reveal-to-bathtime-play toys that'd be one thing, but almost every doll in the barbie playline series has been this same level of lazy quality. praying that dream ella coming for barbie's (helmet) wig pushes mattel to get competitive.
i prefer the barbie one. the color reveal dolls are normally a bunch of colors and patterns thrown together into barbie dolls and we should get used to that. they don’t really wanna make them cohesive and it’s nice sometimes that we see some colors and i’m sure some people love the splash of them. i know the dream ella dolls seem to be more cohesive but they just look like a normal average doll and not something out of the ordinary like the barbie one, in a good way or not.
I revealed my Dream Ella doll yesterday and was impressed for the price!! I agree cohesion is queen 👸 and the hair is so soft! I feel you really did a great review of Ella it was fair with pro's and cons!!!
I honestly prefer Barbie. What you find cohesive in Dream Ella's design I think is boring and not creative. Barbie is supposed to be themed after a party, so is understandable seeing her full of glitter and color. Her overall look is very 80's with the over the top patterns, which is something that has always suited Barbie. I'd rather have an extravagant doll that a monotone one.
I thought the outfit was extremely ugly but then when you said "80s" and "party" I suddenly saw it in another light and I still don't like it but I can definitely see the concept and it's cute.
I don't think I like the concept of these colour reveal dolls overall so I don't really like either of them, totally agree about there being something to indicate to the buyer which doll you are getting so you don't get doubles. That's a really good idea. I don't know what it is about the dream Ella line but I just don't like it. I don't see it taking off. 😬 Could be wrong though.
On the dream Ella dolls u can tell which color doll u are getting ! Their are 3 diff codes on the bottom that correlate with the dolls . watch nextjen reviews
I like both of them they both are beautiful dolls thank you for sharing that about dream Ella and Barbie color reveal doll you are the best Joey have a great day the quality on both of them looks real good
I cant believe im saying this but i prefer barbie color reveal where as yes the dolls are kinda trashy they Atleast have cuter sculpts and screenings then dream ella which faces are horrid to say the least but even tho i dont like dream ella im grateful that households who cant lol omg or rainbow high have a cheaper Option
You can't subtitute LOL OMG & RH with Dream Ella, they look too different. XD This is where the budget dolls come into play, at least for LOL OMG for now. RH'll probably take some time.
You can definitely call Dream Ella a rip off of Barbie. Lol I hate that they even went as far as copying the points of articulation, or lack thereof, but at that price, it does actually make sense.
I like the Blue doll,Dream Ella much better. She's prettier. I also didn't like the wig. Pretty color and volume of hair but that's it..I might look into one.. Thank u for sharing.
Wishing you a very Happy Birthday!! Sending you so much love & many hugs from the USA. Love all your videos & everything that you contribute to the doll world! 💜🍷🎉🕺💐🌈🎂🧁🍰🍨🍭🍬🧜🧚🥂🍽️🎁🎈🛍️💅
These days I can barely tell the difference between the cheap supermarket dolls and new Barbie dolls. One time in a toy store I couldn't find the Barbie dolls anywhere and I was so confused until I realized they were the ones I was standing in front of the whole time. The other day I saw a commercial for new Barbie dolls and the dolls looked exactly like the non-Barbie dolls that no one wanted sold next to actual Barbie dolls when I was younger in the 2000s. I don't say this to be mean, I just feel sad for new kids and I don't understand why is it so complicated to make Barbie dolls as pretty as before.
I feel like the wigs on these dolls would lay a lot better if they weren't so afraid of letting the dolls just be bald and didn't insist on MOLDED pixie cuts. That way the wigs don't have to sit on top of molded hair. When I think back to my 'What's Her Face' dolls, I don't remember the wigs looking unnatural or like helmets on their heads, i feel like they always laid nicely. Why don't they just do the painted-on pixie cut, like Barbie use to do with their little babies back in the day.
Not sure if this helps each doll should have a code number on the packaging somwhere Pacific to each doll so if you find the doll code you can get the one you want hope that you out
I despise this gimmick so much, it's wasteful and the end product is just ugly! However if I was buying this for a kid i'd buy them the Barbie because they seem more durable and I would make it clear that they're only getting one.
I like the Dream Ella dolls since they are not picture perfect and are sterdy nice quality. I hope they will make fashion packs. I think the barbie color reveal and fashionistas are too expensive for the bad quality not to mention the paperish Fashions. The fashion packs costs more than a doll with clothes?
Tbh to this day, I still not understanding Dream Ella concept... Like is dream as fantasy (like fairies) or careers/ professions; with the Brand name it give me the impression it is fairy tales but then you get things like an veterinarian doll
When my kiddo liked dolls that size, she wanted a Liv doll. I thought her body was awesome with all the articulation, until it all got loose. However, her face, head and hair were so creepy. Her head had a LARGE hole in the top for the wig and the wig was TOTALLY a helmet with hair. Then her eyes were big, and very blank...
I really like the dream Ella dolls Honestly any criticism I would have is very minor and the price point remedies them anyway They have a lot of potential and I want to see where they go next if they stick around
I'm not a fan of the colour reveal concept. But if i had to choose one for myself, I'd get the Barbie one simply because I'm a Barbie collector. But if i had to buy it for a child, I'd go with the Dream Ella doll, she looks sturdy and nice (though i don't like her face sculpt)
These are very gimmicky toys, but I still think nothing beats the gimmick that was easy bake ovens and those baby dolls that ate “real food” packets. Those toys were basically useless humps of plastic after the packaged food was gone, and your parents refused to buy the $20 refill up packs. But if they did, you could play with the thing for another week until that evidently runs out, repeating the cycle again. Those toys must of been massive money wasters for some parents, whose kid loved there easy bake over or realistic eating/pooping baby doll.
Lmao, I love your reviews they're always so funny. I like how you say how you truly feel about any dolls. I like dream Ella BUT I want rooted hair on her not a wig, also if you realized Ella is heavier and she's solid plastic. In order to remove Ella's head you have to break it. I like Barbies rooted hair and that her head is still soft silicone, I so wish MGA would make softer silicone heads on their dolls, but it is what it is. Loveeee your channel 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
when you got to the barbies outfit i choked but luckily i was eating ice cream, seriously barbie what contracts are you obligated to fulfill that make you wear THAT
I love the wig in concept for Barbie, but the design and execution need some work.. As a kid I always wanted wigs for my dolls.. I loved doing their hair..
The wigs could have been better in the barbie. Back in 63, Mattel created High fashioned Barbie. She had 4 wigs and they were a lot better than the wigs in color reveal.
Codes for Barbie are on the top. If I see people in the store looking at them I always let them know. They're always greatful, not that kids mind a double up. Just means they have TWINS! Or Triplets! Which excited them lol
