As long as you're paying your bills and keeping yourself fed you never need to apologize for your purchases. Married housewives with kids like myself adore living through you getting these dolls. You're absolutely fine. I adore the pink one. Just fantastic. Trust me, I'm glad someone can get them and that it encourages more artistic dolls! 🤩💖
The meat purse was a Paul Frank/Ryden Collab from the early 2000s. They were human sized, so it's such a cute detail for Ryden fans. I just found your channel, yay!
Yay! I'm happy you found me. ☺️ also, I'm not as familiar with Rydens work, but I love everything I've seen so far. He seems like a really interesting artist.
It's good that u didn't sent it back because they have it fine print on the send back form that of the doll says sold out online then they will automatically refund u instead of sending u another ( MY experience with HC Draculara). A representative on the phone told me the same thing, but their bold print on the form says ur gonna get a refund only, smh
Omg that's horrible. Thanks for the info. I'm so happy I didn't send them back then. I still have them in my Barbie display. They've grown on me a lot, so i will probably keep them forever at this point. Lol
Oh my goddess that bumblebee Barbie is a dream doll! I am a professional artist and am in both fan groups on this and was astounded by this collaboration but totally out of my price range so I’m loving them from afar. Loved this but honestly the bumblebee one makes me swoon 😮❤
Dude you're stimulating the economy! also think about the amount of families who drop THOUSANDS on an ANUAL Disney trip... and yea its memories but its just that memories these are physical tangible objects that genuinely bring you joy! I mean as long as you didn't steal the money you used to purchase them, don't feel bad about a damn thing! also they are beautiful so yea!!!!!
I am so obsessed with my pink Ryden! I can’t stop looking at her. I didn’t get any of the other ones, did get the pins and tote. Love the tote! By far one of the most “out of the box” concepts for Mattel Creations. I hope they continue to offer these edgy designs on occasion. I agree that the prices are high, but I also understand Mattel’s reasons. So glad you kept the black and white one, I would have loved to get all 3. ❤
Oh jeezo, Mattel should have sent you the pink doll and supplied a priority shipping label for the white set. It was their mistake! I would have phoned them constantly crying about it until they agreed. They can't just assume people can afford for them to mess up so bad. Just gotten to the end of the video and don't blame you for not trusting them. Glad that you are happy having all 3 regardless!
I think the longer you keep them, the more valuable they will be. For the B&W set, I would have preferred that the white dress would have been the negative version of the black one. I'm not into "expensive" Barbie Dolls but those 3 sets are truly amazing and the ad they had for them was terrific and silk stone bodies are so good that I find the price tags pretty fair. The Barbie Bee version is by far my fave from the bunch, she is incredible !
@@dollthighs the bee is by far the most arty and surrealist one in my opinion. The Pink one is the most Ryden as a doll could be and the Royal Poodle and vase made it the most "complete" of the bunch.
Thanks for reviewing these! I was curious how these dolls looked in real life. Every doll youtuber i watched always said really mean stuff about these dolls cause of the price point but I thought the dolls were really cool looking especially the pink one :)
the bee is the best and most worth the money - its his best collab that changes barbies features. the barbie face on the surreal theme of ryden, it more clashes than collabs, imo
Thank you for this review. I was wondering what the deal was on these dolls. I think they are beautiful art pieces. But I collect on a budget. So I will just enjoy them from a distance.
3 is my favorite number red and pink is my favorite color combo i swear he made that for me😂❤ love the meat bag🌈🌞 perfect blend of cute and creepy🦋💖🦋 the black and white dolls are cool i hadnt seen those!
Yes! They're all very cool. The black-and-white ones take up so much space on my shelf, though. 🤣 it is by far the biggest doll box I have, and I have no clue where to keep them.
3 dolls for 1000+ dollars…for a model muse?…NOOOO MAM!! Barbie straight up trifflin for charging those prices, they will be seeing hell in the afterlife :) Mattel 👏🏼 y’all 👏🏼 scammin 👏🏼
Yeah, I agree. I do think they're beautiful. But as someone who makes clothes, their skirts are legitimately just a rectangle of printed fabric gathered at the waist. 😆 I'm not sure what makes them so much more expensive than the other two.
@@dollthighs And it looks to be a plastic like cloth at that which you see in a lot of play line. I get that it is indeed an artist collab. I collect IT though and actually have the one girl with the pink skirt you have in the background among a hundred or so other. So, not always amazing quality from IT but at least I get the price range a teeny tiny bit more than the materials being made on this particular doll(s).
I just don't think these are that great, but I would have purchased the Bee doll. But they weren't worth jumping through hoops for because I just didn't care enough.
Hahaha, I totally get it. They're not for everyone, and they were insanely priced. There are tons of other beautiful dolls out there that don't cost hundreds of dollars. 😂
I am thinking of buying the Bee and the Pink Barbie's on Ebay... Would be more than a thousand dollars for both right now... Is it worth it? Not a Barbie collector but jeez those two are SO perfect!
I have all three and would never sell any of them even if I needed the money. They are each so unique and there's no doll like it. You should keep them all. I paid retail for all except the ball I paid $700! Now it's gone down some. I couldn't justify buying them when I bought the other two on Mattel's website on release date. Then after receiving the two I knew I had to get the third set. I liked it but didn't love it. After seeing it in person and all of the detail, I now love the set. Mark Ryden isn't cheap so makes sense that these dolls are pricey but so worth it.
I have been seing videos a about this dolls, and everyone had problems either on the page or the delivery, and I just saw a video about one guy that orderer the Blackand white dolls and they send him the bee one, and Mattel end it up refunding his money, so sad the didn't take the time or care more about doing their job...
It's wild. The dolls are beautiful, but Mattel seems to struggle with all of the aspects of running their own online store. I was shocked that for dolls this expensive they made so many errors.
I could live without the black and white ones, especially at scalpers' prices. The bee and pink one are absolutely my most favorite dolls too I have ever seen in my 62 years on this planet.
I was able to buy the Bee Barbie and Bee Barbie brooch. After betting my email confirmation, another immediately appeared telling me the brooch was sold out, so I'd get a refund. Patiently waiting for the Bee Barbie to arrive to only get a delivery confirmation at 2pm stating the doll had been delivered at 10am. I was working from home, facing my window and the doll NEVER arrived. #FuckMattelCreations.
Omg that's awful. They really need to figure it out. Idk how such a massive company struggles with the basics of shipping products to their customers. 😔
I think it was more like they got out of pink pop dolls and they had your order so they didn't have anything to send you and they sent you the black and white set instead 😅😅 I don't really think it was a mistake TBH
@@dollthighs I'm just 19 I wanna start a channel But I'm from the Caribbean sooo it's more expensive If you have any old dolls send for me ... So I can style lol
I seen someone on Facebook marketplace selling these for $700 . They are beautiful but way out of my price range. That and, I'm not a Barbie collector.
Babrie is beautiful, but you're probably better off. I have probably spent more on Barbie than any other doll line I own, and it's neither my largest nor my favorite collection. They're just very expensive for some reason.
There are billions of people on the planet, and it looks like they only make like 20,000 of these collector dolls. It’s very easy to understand why these are priced they way they are. These aren’t everyday play dolls, unless there are parents who make millions/billions and they can afford to give their child these, as play dolls. Not a second thought given, to how much they cost. Very interesting to learn about this Mattel Creations website, I was looking at the Crystal Fantasy dolls. #Temptations I’m subscribed to Angel Loza, probably why your channels was suggested. Thank you 😌🙏🏽🌟🕊
I have been looking at the Crystal Fantasy dolls, too. I love the idea of them but I couldn't bring myself to buy them. They just seem very simple for the price. 😞
@@dollthighs That's the beauty of doll collecting. Everyone doesn't have the same taste or reason why they buy dolls. I've been eyeing the Smart Doll Batgirl, for close to a year now, unfortunately they're not releasing it. 🥲
I know. I wish they were more accessible and everyone who wanted them could have gotten them. I hate when dolls are super expensive or difficult to buy. 😞
Exactly! I’m glad you posted this video though (so thank you srsly) because I’m able to at least see them up close and admire them from the video! You did a great job showing them off! Great story by the way, I would have done the same thing probably. Just bought the ones I wanted too lol. I’m glad you got the entire collection! So cool!! 💗
