Rainbow high is rebranding? Rainbow High Slime Skyler Doll unboxing 

Rest in pieces poppy. You were a lil boring but cute🦋🍊

RH fumbling this hard will also likely lead to decline in sales with parents/kids, not just collectors. Kids might not notice or care about the decline in articulation but they will notice the outfits aren't as cute as their older RH dolls (and RH/SH dolls still on shelves), and not all kids are into slime and glitter. If they wanted to give up on collectors and focus on kids they should have released these without the pet/slime element to lower the cost. Giving worse quality for the exact same price is going to be noticed by some parents and kids that have their own money to spend.

This is why poopsie was a flop cause nobody plays with slime anymore and at the time they were releasing them the slime era was dying out anyways.

Am I the only one thinking this is monster high generation 2 all over again? I want the orginal rainbow high back, the details were everything and I loved the mix n match fashions

honestly props for being genuine enough to criticize these dolls and say what we were all thinking even though you got the doll through PR. A lot of reviewers pretend to like something just because it was a "gift" from the company...

I can't describe just how tired I am of the slime gimmick. Have we not changed at all since like 2018?? Stg

What I don't understand, is that Europe banned plastic glitters and MGA decided this is the best time to add fucking ugly glitters everywhere. Like, along with the ugly reboot they probably are going to face legal actions if they decide to sell in Europe..what a way to make a really (imo) good line fail miserably.

I can already say that parents will avoid these dolls simply because of the slime aspect. Little children dont always follow directions and adult supervision is needed for making the slime. But afterwards, the glitter will get everywhere, the slime will ultimately end up somewhere it shouldn't, and overall it's just a gimmick that has limited play value because the slime is so low quality. As for the doll itself, im so sad to see less articulation and cool outfits. I got a couple shadow High dolls because i loved their look and outfits, and being able to pose them in natural ways makes for fun photoshoots. Honestly, the rebrand just seems like a stupid cash grab that will ultimately fail.

So i am just gonna throw this out there... as someone who find their dolls PRIMARILY second hand, this is gonna be tragic. Finding these dolls in second hand markets, they are absolutely going to be covered, coated, tacky, sticky, slimey messes. I absolutely hate this change, I see no benefit...at all. Moving towards being a kids brand namely was a mistake, they had a loyal collector base with great characters- what even are they thinking?

You gonna get kicked off the PR list of this one 😭 but thank you for being so honest and thorough as usual!

I don’t even collect RH and I’m disappointed to see this decline in quality. How can I bully Mattel into having higher quality if their competitors are lowering their quality?? 😭

I'll say it again, MGA are slighting us adults for not going hard on their collector dolls.

You don’t know how much I appreciate you not kissing MGA’s ass when they send you PR ❤.

This will be their second rebranding which is crazy. They originally came out as larger dolls with slime elements, I don't understand why they are going back to slime. Slime toys have had their time and gone :s I hate that they are now losing articulation as well! It just shows they are starting to cheap out and if Monster High and Ever After High was anything to go off of, people will get bored with the basic looks and just stop buying.

I find interesting that Rainbow Hight has basicly went back to its roots. If you rember the Rainbow Poopise series back then they realised a Gigant Slime doll similar to the baby unicors but you had to instead put the slime in the clothes. There was a total of 4 dolls and they are VERY VERY VERY simialar to characters from the first wave of Rainbow Hight.

As a monster high fan, rainbow high was our only competition, now mh is on top again 😂

I'm curious if they'll even be allowed to sell in EU-countries because loose glitter has been banned for a little over a month now 🤔 I wouldn't mind not seeing these in stores, but oh well... Lovely review about a less than lovely doll! Also, I think the pet might be a sloth unicorn thing?

Well, no one can say you held back because you got PR. 😀 I’m not sure what kind of reaction MGA was expecting from teen or adult collectors. Maybe they think they only made small changes, but they make a huge difference to older customers. If they can sell more to kids and be more profitable I guess I can’t begrudge their business decision. Maybe that will give them some revenue to start another line.

I dont have kids. However, my sister actively avoids slime toys for her kids. Almost every parent I know does from their funiture being ruined from back when everything was slime. As for myself, I stopped collecting as soon as they changed the box. I got invested mostly because the og box let me do slanted displays where i could see them all without opening them or having them take up a ton of space. Instead of 5 side to side i could angle them and fit 8 amd i could see the side of them too with the curved "window".

I never collected MH, but now I understand how they feel and I’d like to formally apologize to anyone I accused of being blinded by nostalgia 😭😭

even when i was a kid i allways hated when dolls had litle articlations and and one thing i rember as a kid i allways complained about the the fashion on barbie dolls the clothes were cheap made and anoyyed me so much. when i found out about rainbow high and it was when they were fairly new, i was so happy they were fashion they had articaltion they were pretty and didnt have grainy ass faces like the barbie dolls. I loved the diffrent skin colors and i loved shadow high and still do. im a teen now and sometimes i do still play with my dolls and ya it anoyys me seeing these amazing dolls go downhill. And as a person who's fav color is orange and hated that rainbow silvers whatever loser i am in the sadness realm about lossing my dear poppy.

The screening (minus the glitter on the face) is actually super pretty

i never hated amaya, but i definitely loved poppy a lot and i'm sad to see she's been booted with this new rebrand :(( even with all the dolls i've gotten from the different series and my limited space, s1 poppy is still on display on my shelf! not really a fan of this rebrand, the slime aspect failed them before and i'm guessing it'll fail them again. i do think they were running out of ideas on names of RH/SH, but they were still producing gorgeous dolls and i'm going to miss it. interested to see what time will tell about this line. in 20 years, will people fondly remember it and ask for a reboot?

I laughed so much, when you blurred out Amaya on the back of the box. xD I really always hated her and now she looks even worse. But every time I go to my local toy store, there's always at least one kid begging her mom to buy her "the cute rainbow doll" ... >_> Poppy and Skyler were always my favorites but I really don't like the glitter faces.

Good thing they got a rebrand now I can focus on buying the already released dolls I couldn't find in store

You can feel the fight to keep the MGA sponsioring wvile being honest on the review...

The censoring of Amaya on the back of the box 🥴💀🤣 I actually like this Skyler's outfit but I will be buying the last ones of the pre-reboot dolls that I like and call it a day on this brand.

In my honest opinion, Rainbow High were the few pre teen ish brands left. Not just with the quality of the dolls but the whole atmosphere were trying to cater to that audience. Maybe the dolls were probably a kids introduction into the creative arts like fashion design, animation, film, music production and etc. Even with the episodes, it was pretty dramatic and could have explored characters who were rumored to be lgbt. Now it’s just that the Tween market is getting smaller and smaller, it’s just what can this audience even get when the brand is now trying to target a very much younger demographic.

I think Bluebell is a Narwhal. Not that it matters since it's hideous no matter what it is. Thank you for not holding back. 🗣🗣

I wouldn’t call it rebranding, I’d call it regressing. We’re back to the Rainbow Surprise dolls after how amazing the dolls had been :/

Ok so like I guess I get why they took the wrist articulation away if they’re try to make it more “little kid friendly”or whatever, but what possible reason could they have for getting rid of the part where the leg could twist?? Makes no sense. Also yikes, for a fashion doll she sure isn’t fashionable (looks like something a Barbie extra doll would wear 😖)

And just like that... I stopped buying Rainbow high dolls. Why is MGA rebranding I mean if it ain't broke don't fix it. 🤢

If the outfits don't serve, I'm not buying 🙅

It’s kinda weird how every 3 years or so, mga starts rebranding their dolls and starts simplifying and kidifying everything, idk if they do that to cut on cost or they’re allocating their funds into other projects buy girl it’s NAWT it 😭

Rainbow High is officially going downhill. This shows it. Another example is the RH dollhouse. MGA redid it and it has fewer pieces and it is just a cheap budget version of the real/original dollhouse (but at the same price, of course). Then there are the re-release of the dolls in a budget version which have no elbow/hand/knee articulation. I've been collecting dolls long enough to see that this is the beginning of the end. Like you said with G2 Monster High. They created younger, 'prettier' faces for them, and ditched the articulation, and cut characters out. People quit buying MH and MH was euthanized. It's sad to see that that's what MGA is seeming to choose as the RH line's future. I could not handle your blurring out Amaya, I was ugly laughing at that.

I just don't understand what is the fun with filling thinks with slime? I mean, why would that be something kids would want to do with slime???

Honestly, she's not that bad, I'd like this as a kid. As for the slime shoes and mold, you can just coat the inside with translucent glue and put dry glitter in there for a similar glittery platform effect. Same with the pet's head and bag

I hate when companies do this. Sure, maybe to appeal to the parents, but to the real people who will be getting them(kids, collectors, etc.) it won’t do so well. I have been a fan of RH since they started making them, and I honestly think they shouldn’t have done this. It’s so bad that I don’t think I would even want to buy these anymore. The slime gimmick is kind of unappealing, due to the microplastics(glitter) that they’re literally just handing to kids. I hate having to see pointless or bad reboots/rebrands, but this one is probably one of the worst that I’ve seen so far. MGA needs to literally rethink this again, because if they won’t, they’ll most likely get bashed HARD for this.

Why dosen’t MGA create another doll line for kids, or still keep rainbow high but add another kiddie line like the way the added shadow high? This is kinda pointless

Okay she's kinda the moment if you throw everything she came with out the window😍😍💙💙 I will be patiently awaiting your Ruby review 👀🥰💖

I’m really happy that you have an honest review and that you didn’t hold back because you got a PR. I think she is a 6/10

Her makeup is cute but the glitter face might be a deal breaker for me. My runway Skyler's forehead is already reflecting every light source in the room in a distracting way. I don't like the loss of articulation either. It seems like this would have been series 1 of Rainbow High since they are leaning so hard into the poopsie slime and sparkles. I wonder if this was an early concept that had gotten left on the cutting room floor until now.

Ugh, that skirt is just a damaged foil fabric, it's going to shed everywhere. I think Sunny's transition would be the easiest since her personality is very kid friendly. Ruby & Jade though will need to be lobotomized to fit into Rainbow World. P. S. RIP Poppy, I'll miss her monarch butterfly theme(Amaya better not absorb her essence like she did Bella).

Something that I never understood by Rainbow High is the articulation of their bodies, MGA cannot simply put elbows and knees of normal label on the wrists? It seems incredible that in the middle of 2023 they cannot make a knees that bend and turn, to the articulated body bootlegs have that joint. Also I think this slime doll idea would have worked better with DreamElla but MGA decided to cancel that line when it was the one that really needed a rebrand unlike Rainbow High which was fine, maybe no longer include a second outfit but I could live with that, not another doll with boring clothes and a horrible looking slime pet.

This is first time seeing this rebranding RH REVIEW. I have heard a lot of controversy over this…but this review helps me making the decision of my collection. I don’t mind with less articulation-but seeing the fashion and the sparkle on the face is pretty concerning. I have completed my 4 of these 14” dolls with no articulation - I j use threw away that slime. I may buy that last batch to bid farewell from my very beginning to the ending of my collection. I will start focusing on Bratz to complete my collection plus all these more reproductions that I will continue collecting on this doll brand. It has been good 3 years of RH/SH collection. I will miss them for sure.

a doll brand not being fashion forward in this day and age is a deathwish.

It's interesting how a doll can not be that good and be a flop then people still get them and restyle them and give them a whole new life ✨

As an Amaya lover myself, Poppy should have been there 💔 I will probably still buy these dolls but they should revert back to their "old" ways (hate how I have to call it old now) 😞 This is my favorite doll line I don't wanna see it downgrade... ig if it does get worse and worse ig I still have Monster High and Lol :( Skyler also isn't my favorite character but her and Sunny's new dolls are the best :D

This doll is almost exactly the same as a 2019 poopsie rainbow surprise 14 inch doll. The hair is the same and the shoes to with the slime is nearly exactly the same. How strange.

Damn, I was impressed by the comments section, MOST people are smart and not bending over backwards to justify MGA because of their pwecious one-color girls. 😂 Though not nearly enough are talking about the Settla Brown comparison! But on a more serious note, I still don’t understand what happened that’s making everyone talk down to kids lately. Age groups between toddlers and adults are allowed to exist and have good things. Crappy fandom and my financial situation aside, I just don’t care about fashion. My wardrobe is 95% jeans and T-shirts, so I can’t feel much for a franchise that’s purely about the clothes. But if that does matter to any fans who aren’t terrible, what’s left after this?

Honestly I like her! I kind of like the glitter face, better than the shimmer face to me And her screening is beautiful and the clothes are fine. I don't particularly care about the main 6 though, I try to only have 1 of each character so if they only release the same characters over and over I'm done with RH!

Thank you for the review. I really like the slime girls colouring and the wide eyebrows because they are on trend now. What I don't like is lack of usual wrist and hip articulation, facial glitter, silly footwear and useless accessories I think they are budget line though. I am hoping MGA will bring out something special later in the year. I have only just began collecting these dolls and I hope I am not too late. After this review I bought Pacific Coast Bella (second hand) and Margot (new) as I fear they will be difficult to get soon. Watched your video about washing doll's hair and will be washing Bella soon :)

Damn from designer outfits to greta thunberg eco friendly plastic bags, I mean where's the fashion??? Where's the sass and fierce?? I could pass anything but tinsel and glitter?? winx wants their fairy dust back and also the pet doesn't even have insert eyes!!!!! like that thing is a failed pokemon experiment............. good for me I guess at least I will save money for sure🌈

Also now that you mention it wouldn’t mold actually be an issue when you’re putting slime in random toy accessories

I feel like the glitter could work of it's a special edition sort of line.. like a "crystal christmas" line or whatever. But for the main 6's reboot dolls.. I'm so scared for the other dolls now

My god. My girl. The shade. Thank you for keeping it real. I actually kinda like her face and hair blend and her overall lack of denim, my girl needed that. But holy fucking shit. Thank you for saying it how it is. Jr high vibes.

Omg the powder bag comment!!!!! 😂 💀

I work at TK Maxx (TJ Max’s British version) we had quite a few Poppy’s in stock, then she just VANISHED. Now I think I know why

Stop bullying amaya pls 😂😂😂😂 that was the best part of the video xDD

Happy to have found your channel. As a casual collector of Rainbow High, I'm on the fence right now about the rebrand. I do like the pets. Justice for Poppy! Orange is a healing color!

"Setlla".....😂😂😂😂😂 I'm DONE!!!!

Lololololol i love this review, but hun, i dont think mga will ever send you dolls to review again!!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Cuteeee, we need a updated doll room video !!!!

Your commentary and editing are so funny lol! As for the new direction, I hate the lack of articulation and the slime gimmick, but I actually think the dolls themselves are very pretty! I'm looking forward to getting Sunny, Jade, and Amaya.

Lmfaooooo im weak at your Blurring Her Out 😂

I've been watching unboxing videos of these dolls today, and I realized something; mine didn't come with the crystal shaker. Nope, mine all came with a clear plastic gem shaped thing filled with incredibly sticky slime.

Thank you for an honest review.

Not the censoring. I lost it 😂😂😂

I only collect Amaya's and Poppy's lmao. If any of the dolls had a boring fashion sense, it's Violet. There. I said it.

Do you think MGA going to reboot the whole season or series like 1-5

As my mother puts it. "Slime is never good." RIP Rainbow High.

The way that none of them have pants or shorts is honestly very sad😩

I love that you tell your honest opinion and not just say nice things because MGA gave them to you ❤

WHY DOSS EVERYONE KEEP SAYING THE WENT BACK IN THE DIVERSITY FOR USING THE ORIGINAL CHARACTERS AGAIN ??? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE ❤

I couldn’t figure out how to get the head off the creature they included until this video. Thank you

A genuine question, is slime still a thing with kids? I'm a grown up so I don't play with it myself at all. Is this really a good idea with the playline audience?

Yeah, this rebrand isn’t going to work the way they think it will. I don’t understand why MGA is so into slime, especially when the slime isn’t great quality

Thanks for a honest review. I'm not mad at the idea, but this would've been a been reboot for the junior line. Maybe they should have just gotten rid of the junior high line altogether. Just keep the original line the same. Hopefully, this isn't a permit change.

Hard no to all the reboot dolls. I need the articulation and I miss the second outfits 😞

I love ur videos❤❤

I'm not a fan of Rainbow High but you guys, I'm stressed with this reboot

I LOVE YOU BLURRING OUT AMAYA, YESSSSSSSSSSSSS! POPPY IS BETTER. Also, I came from your one singular Jem video, she is STUNNING! Do you still have her, or possibly plan on giving her a makeover? Gotta get Jems name out there, I’ve tried but the RU-vid algorithm doesn’t like me! You’re a way bigger channel, and you could do it better than I ever could. I make stopmotions, but I don’t think people really like those anymore, like I can’t find my target audience. IM SUPER SORRY FOR THE LONG COMMENT!! ALSO I DO NOT LIKE WHY THEY ARE GETTING RID IF THE ARTICULATION! WHY!!!!! THAT IS WHAT MADE ME BUY THEM! THEIR CUSTOMERS ARE GONNA BE DROPPING LIKE FLIES!! ANYWAYS IM A PROUD FAN OF YOURS!!! 💞💞🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

1:48 it's a yeti, or at least the creature whose sculpt it reuses is ;)

lol I love how you blurred her out😆

STOP,I remember my little sister saving for like a week for a poopsie in like early 2020

i actually love the glitter on the faces!! i do however think this shouldve been done with the junior high bodies since this line is for a younger audience, leave the main girlies alone !

Definitely kids are going to love these new dolls... collectors will stop collecting Rainbow High definitely nyo!

This is actually how I imagined rainbow high to be when series 1 got leaked. I’m not entirely mad about it but the budget cuts are annoying to see once again.

How is the rainbow complete without orange, poppy?

At least it gives me time to collect the rest of the original ones

i’m actually really upset about this, the fashion and high quality of their dolls, and high moveability was the main reason i fell in love with the brand i always hated dolls like barbie because they felt supper stiff. i also really hate slime and i knoe kids are going to end up ruining the dolls hair and legit everything else because that’s all slime is good for also no doubt this will make them lose money, an adult collector has no problem spending upwards of 40 bucks on a thing they’re missing in their collection (hell hardcore collectors are willing to spend 300+ if you market it right) but most people with children aren’t going to spend 40 dollars on a doll especially for a younger child because they lose interest in toys so fast. i’m suprised company’s don’t learn from monster high especially the gen 2 dolls, they were so low quality especially when we were used to the high quality gen 1 dolls no way they sold well

OMG the Ke$ha-mid-aughts-glitter face!😂🎉😢

Okay actually, the top part isn't that bad like the shirt, hair and even the glitter i don't even mind that much. But the skirt, shoes and no wrist articulation 😬. (And yes i know it's because of a choking hazard thing but still like.....these barbie fashionista fits ain't it, sis!)

Honestly shes my fave I will get her. Her outfit is VERY Y2K and maybe Sonny. But yeah a bit too young for me. Hopefully this won’t last but this is my first time following a full life span of a Doll line. I MISS POPPY!!

It is not that bad if don't look at the doll from an adult collector point of view. The face is pretty, good hair, some articulations reduced but still articulated enough. To get rid of the wrist articulation makes sense for younger kids. The clothes are the not the best! lol The choice of the slime gimmick is a bit odd but the magic Pixlings have a potion gimmick. I guess kids still like that kind of gimmicks. These are obviously not appropriate for adult collectors. We are not the target and that's it.

I hate the rebrand. They took amazing dolls and made them worse. I just started collecting dolls and I was building my Miniverse around Rainbow High, and I'm now very upset that I made that decision. Also, Poppy was my favorite =(

"Look at that shapeless outfit" had me dieing

I’m still getting Sunny because I’ve made it a mission to own every Sunny doll. Can’t break the cycle.

The articulation was one of the reasons I got into these dolls, like with monster high

I still love these so much. I think they are really cute. 🥰
