You've convinced me, the dress makes more sense as a beautiful display piece on the manequin. I love Jett's sketch outfit, mainly because it reminds me of the Aha video "Take On Me."
I passed on Jett I see plenty at my Targets I just didn’t want to spend $57.99 on 1 doll when I could get 2 series 3 dolls at that price. I also passed on the Beetlejuice dolls although that was honestly more tempting even at $90.
At least you are lucky to have the option of that price, im from Europe and from a country with a 21% VAT and if she gets to be 60€, (probably will be more, im sure) that is more than 70$
@@youtubewontletme Shitty governments will do that to you. They believe your hard work should care for those who don't want to work - not saying those who can't work because that's different. Don't worry the U.S. is heading in that direction too and we won't be able to afford things we love soon either as they work us to death.
I definitely want Jett but they don't sell RH in my country and the import fees are $48, so my only hope is waiting for her to go on clearance on Amazon 😅
with the beetlejuice dolls i only wanted lydia and i didn’t want to have to go through the trouble of trying to sell beetlejuice so i just skipped it all together
I adore Jett! She's wonderful! I pre-ordered one off of Amazon and when they pushed back the shipping date, I got annoyed and ordered one off of Target instead. Color me surprised when I opened it and actually got one of the numbered ones (419/1000 if anyone is curious) so I've gotten a second one that's just a normal one that I can open and have on my shelf with the others in my collection
I also got a numbered one "by accident"! I got 12/1000, but honestly, I got her to unbox, so now I feel like I need to keep her in box and find another unnumbered one to "play with" lol
Honestly for 58 dollars she's a buy, I loved her long colorful high quality hair, extra articulation, functioning sewing machine, Beautiful textured clothes, comparing to what other companies have released she's so way more worth it especially this kind of quality in other company may cost $150 USD, in my country RH dolls double the price that's why I'm just gonna get my first Doll (Violet) on Christmas!! 😊
I preordered mine on amazon too. I'm hoping to get a numbered doll, but won't be upset if I don't get one. I checked my Target and she wasn't there. What I find unfair is MGA sending numbered dolls to youtubers for free for a review of the doll. Not that those people don't deserve it, but the numbered dolls are limited and should only go to those who actually purchased the doll. Sending a numbered doll to someone free means someone who preordered the doll won't get a numbered version. I know everyone who preorders won't get a numbered doll. When I preordered from amazon I did expect then to ship shortly after release, but I get the feeling she's on backorder. I think at this point I just want the doll. 😔
In my experience with this doll and her dress, i’ve found that the easiest and best way to put her dress on any doll is too get it over her legs and then use your hand to wrap around the dress under the top skirt layer and push up! You don’t risk ripping the sleeves or the dress and for me it slipped on relatively easy
I'm so jealous of everyone living in the USA and getting these dolls in stores! I saw a Jade in a store once and I freaked out lol I've never seen them before! I really love Poppy and Amaya (both versions of Amaya, since I love her black high boots) 🦋🖤 I'm still a bit shy collecting dolls because of fear of other people's opinion, and my daughter is only 4 months old so she can't play with them yet 😂🙈
I think the dress is for Jett because she was wearing it (debuting it) in the Rainbow High episode. I think the fact that it doesn't fit is a design flaw. But I like the clothing she came in the best and I am so in love with her hair. Not so sure the price is worth it though.
I just want to say that I really appreciate all the work you do on this channel. I haven't had the expendable income to collect dolls for years now but I love watching your videos and getting to see all these collections and details up close. Thank you! I was a little bummed out this week because I missed out on the Beetlejuice dolls, but you've cheered me up with your video.
I disagree. This is the most expensive single Rainbow High doll to date, so the comparison is natural. That is, is she worth the extra over the previous dolls? This is always a highly subjective question anyway. One thing to consider relative to previous dolls is that we are in inflationary times and the $27 dolls will certainly be going up, unless MGA decides to make one series much better value just to “hook” people.
The quality of the clothes, specially the dress, can perfectly make the doll way expensier if she was another doll brand. To me, who i do some clothes, is worth the price just for the ability the dress requires to be first imagined and then crafted
I preordered my Jett Dawson and she finally arrived yesterday. I unbox and dressed her in the gown. Tricky to undress and dress her but possible. I plan to get the closet, too. The accessories are awesome! I am already using the trunks to store her other outfit and shoes and hangers. is she worth it? As a long time doll collector, and aspiring doll artist, this is an awesome presentation and very good value for a collectible doll. I also use my crafting skills to make doll clothes so I think she was a perfect choice. By the way, this is my first Rainbow High doll.
I think your review was spot-on! People really have to make an effort to research and understand the art concept behind these toys before reviewing them... especially when its a collector edition.
I think you nailed it when you said it looks like a Barbie dress, maybe MGA is secretly making a dig at Mattel and saying this is how it is done. I am gonna put it on a Barbie with Jett being the designer standing with her tape measure in hand and a smirk on her face.
I loved Jett’s character on the show to the point I heavily considered buying her doll (target was sold out before I could so I’m still debating). Like immediately her knowledge of fabrics and different fashion styles of the world during the episode really intrigued me. Also I would put Avery in the dress but not have her wear any of the wigs and just show off her pixie cut.
I liked her in the show too (she became one of my fav almost inmediatly) also because she seems kind and has proven to be calm and mature in the way to adress any conflict and knows how to do good criticism to help improve and how to compliment the good work
I love love LOVE my Jett. She's just so stinking pretty! I'd love to see the extra articulation she has in mainline dolls. I'm super duper looking forward to the 24" Amaya. Can't wait for sneak peaks and hearing your thoughts on her!
Amazon delayed my shipping. I was supposed to get her last week but now she’s not going to arrive until September :(. I’m so excited to see her in person though!
I think the dress would look great on Amaya. She has mostly green/blue/purple face framing hair so I think it would be a great contrast to the red and black of Jett's dress.
I’m so excited for Jett! I got one of the numbered variants by chance and I’m ecstatic about it!!! I got 950/1000 so I’ll be buying another one to take out of the box!
Your a 100 % correct, I wasn’t feeling her original outfit at first but you broke it down so nicely. and that she’s the designer, an not the model just makes it feel completely different in the best way .
I don't care for a numbered one, I just want one... but I live in the Netherlands and if she is going to be released here I have to wait like 6 moths after the American relese 😢
I ordered one on American Amazon and I’m having her shipped to Korea. Recently Amazon seems to have lowered its international shipping rates dramatically. Rainbow high dolls haven’t even hit Korea yet but luckily I was in the US when they came out.
I have seen the dress put on Ruby but personally it looks good on the mannequin and Jet. I couldn’t find her at my local Target but found the 20th anniversary Bratz Sasha doll and the deluxe fashion closet which I plan in waiting to get. Though still want Jett regardless if she’s numbered or not.
I saw the recent episode where she changed into this dress and it was amazing. I think the dress is made for Jett but she needs to adjust it and let it out to fit her hips, thus the sewing machine and tape measure. She is beautiful though i probably would keep her in the box if i had her.
I just love your eyeshadow. forget the doll, how did you do that cool eyeshdaow look? oh and the fabric of her clothes, maybe its canvas, like sketching/painting on canvas?)
You're right. People are complaining so much about this doll. The thing is this is a collector's doll and people don't seem to understand that, she's not designed to be played with nor be taken out of the box, so that's why she has a bald spot and the dress doesn't fit. Besides, for me, she isn't special and doesn't have anything that makes her stand out. I don't think she's worth it for that price nor deserves to be collectible. She's pretty though. 🤷🏻♀️
I love how supportive you are to your friends ❤ The only thing I don't like about Jett is her casual style... For 60$ I'd rather see some glam. Or if the dress was different color. If I saw her by herself on a shelf, I wouldn't say she's collector. You made a good point that the dress wasn't made for her but... idk 😊 I'd put it on Amaya/Krystal/Ruby 🙂
Hi Melissa. I've been waiting for this since the released picture leaks in the beginning of the year. I pre-ordered her through Amazon. I can't wait to get her. (Is true what you said they keep changing the shipment date). It's a bit annoying, but she's worth the wait. Have a wonderful day 🌞.
The doll is great, I love her straight hair (I'm becoming obsessed with straight hair in RH dolls, it is so rare and looks so good) and I really like her bangs, certainly an improvement in comparison to Wave 1 Sunny's and Violet's bangs. Her sketch outfit and accessories are also adorable. But honestly I don't like the evening gown - not a fan of the mermaid silhouette in general, and I also think the design looks too busy. The fact that you can't put it on Jett doesn't help either. So I won't buy her, mainly because of this evening gown, because I love everything else. Thank you for the review and your perspective!
I totally agree with you on all points. Definitely worth the money. I immediately put the dress on the dress form when I got it as I assumed it was meant to be a display piece. I wouldn't put her hair down, so I'm not bothered by the sparseness on top. I think if that part of her head was fully rooted that it would be too much hair for the top knot. I love Jett. She's one of my favorite Rainbow High dolls.
I love dolls, but simply couldn't afford the collector dolls. I think this doll is simply beautiful and if I owned her, she would stay in the box. I do see the dress as a gorgeous prop, let's say, and definitely not something she was meant to wear. I do understand people wanting to dress her because the other dolls do have more than one fashion set, yet the physique just isn't hers. Hope that made some kind of sense. 🙂
@@youtubewontletme If she ended up wearing it in the show - ( to be honest I haven't seen any episodes yet ) - then in my opinion , they should have done a better job of making a gorgeous dress that would actually fit. The dress is gorgeous but if there's not a doll that can wear it....it feels like a useless addition. It's beautiful but I would be annoyed to get a doll that had clothing that did not fit. It's a shame they didn't include some well made accessories and shoes to go with the dress.
@@kalezuki9231 in the new episode she wears it and I tried putting it on my jet and the top didn’t have enough fabric with the straps being too long and her hips don’t fit
@@dcscruz2970 Some body stated some where that they think most people keep putting it on wrong and they said some thing about velcro but I forget other details. Just got back from shopping. Feet hurt. Brain fried. I'm exhausted. Arrr.
First of all hi, and I love your videos 🥰 Now I ordered 2 Jett dolls one to take out and review for me, the other to keep in the box. I do agree for such an expensive doll and knowing that some people do restyle RH dolls hair, she should of had a full set of hair. Sadly mine only had the pink outline rerooted, lmao so she's bald in the middle of the pink section. The funny thing is that her dress fit my Jett. It wasn't hard to put on or take off. I even tried it on the doll form and it fit nicely. I tried it on other RH dolls and it also fit. I got a bald head but a dress that fits, hmm. I did return the 2nd Jett because it looked like someone had opened it,each arrived separately why idk. I loved the body so much I removed Jett's head and put Bella's instead since it's the closest head that matches Jetts body. Other than that I'm 50/50 whether she's worth it or not.
I hope that when I get mine the dress fits some one.....Even if I end up giving it to another doll and have it be their dress instead , it would be nice to have a dress that fits one of my dolls. I got some dresses from the dollar tree that I haven't found dolls for yet. They may end up as display only items or changed up a bit if I continue having issues with them. 🙄☹ I am usually very anti - skirts and dresses but this is such a beautiful one!
@@kalezuki9231 see I think people aren't putting her dress on the right way. When I saw it after all the videos I watched I was like, oh no 😢 but when I put it on her it looked so pretty. I checked the back and it fully closed,the thigh section and it wasn't tight, mind you she can't sit lol, but in the real world in a dress like that idk if it is possible to sit. I had already planned out how I would fix the problem too if it didn't fit properly, I would just add a section of black material down the middle and sew the velcro to that piece. I hope yours fits because she really is a beautiful doll and the dress is gorgeous. 😁
This is why I always like to read & watch reviews b4 purchasing anything. Yes! That dressed was designed for someone else perhaps Barbie? 🤷🏼♀️😄 Love your videos, thank you so much.
Hey Melissa! Happy Sunday. As always, I LOVE your inspiring, positive videos. I was wondering if you would share the names of some of the dolly groups you belong to on Facebook and if you recommend any one in particular?
Oh my gosh, yes, I went to that restaurant on the Disney cruise too!! I also had issues getting the dress on Jett, I wiggled it for a long time and managed to do it, but I think you're right. It's not really made to go on her. But we're doll collectors, we can't help but want to put the clothes on the dolls. :']
I was able to get the dress on her. Mind you this was with some work, time and patience. The tightest part fits around her knees, don't try to push it beyond that. Then the rest will come up to fit.
Hey Melissa! I am here to praise your camera again. While I did see Elvira’s video that she posted before you uploaded this, I did not see the gold detailsf on Jet’s sneakers. I also couldn’t see the RH logo on the sewing machine either. I saw these on your video with your awesome camera! I watched both videos on my 70” 4K TV, but your camera picked up the gold!! You often compare yourself to other doll channels, but you shouldn’t. You sit close enough to the camera and make a point of showing the small details that others miss. Which is why you have the best colour reveal videos too. Keep them coming. You are awesome!
In the last Rainbow High ep on RU-vid that dress is Jett's and those heels go with that dress. I think Sunny would look amazing in that gown though. I have bought Jett but I am still undecided about opening her. I can't really afford to buy two, one to keep in box and the other too take out so I am going to have to make up my mind one way or another.
I like Jett's default outfit. I really have no use for the second dress or the extra stuff. I don't think that silhouette is very flattering on RH dolls. I own 2 Jetts though. Thank you Melissa for your input.
I absolutely adore Jett. I saw some pictures of her on the magazine and she is who got me into Rainbow High. She keeps selling out around me so I haven't got her yet. But I will eventually. I would most likely put Sunny or Skyler in the dress. Since red works well with yellow and blue.
I agree with you Melissa 🙏you absolutely right about how it really works with designer dresses ect....! And I would put the dress on the twin with brown eyes, I think that would be gorgeous... 😍🙏 I hope you're doing well with health And you look beautiful like always Melissa. Lots of good vibes and everything good in general I send to you from Norway 🇳🇴❤️🌷
I'm going get her and display on a shelf in my sewing room. I spend alot of my time making doll clothes and I'm decorating the room with old patterns and toy sewing machines. Live her❤❤❣❣❣
When you had your head cannon on the dress meant to be on the dress form. I was thinking the same thing The RH RU-vid episode titled the jet Dawson explains why the dress is apart of her set/story.
You're totally right! We're probably too accustomed to Rainbow High dolls quality because this Jett is worth 60$. I mean... Just look at this dress: it has EMBROIDERY!! We never seen this since years on a doll playline! There's only the Disney designer dolls to have such details. So yes, you can don't like the dress (I still can't find a character abbles to wear it... even Ruby!) but not deny the high quality of production work.
I personally had no issues getting the dress on Jett; I do think having it as a display piece isn't a half-bad idea though. To be fair; I'm pretty dexterous; and I also sew?? So maybe it's a bit easier for me because of that??
To be honest, $58 for this doll was well worth it. MGA has top notch quality and doesn't disappoint. (besides the new closet with clothing.) I personally think Ruby would look amazing in the dress since red is her signature color. I love Jett. I still have her in the box. But I do plan to buy one more so I can have one out of box because I lack self control and I don't feel guilty nor bad. haha!
