So.. are the BARBIE THE MOVIE dolls amazing? Margot Robbie as Barbie in Blue Plaid and Ken in Denim! 

We’ll see after the movie hype dies down. It might go back to the way it was next year unless Mattel keeps up with marketing a ton. The younger crowd seems to love the large eyed big head dolls these days.

Just a few years back 25$ will be enough to fill my gas tank 💔

​@@LifeintheMojoDojoCasaHouse No matter what, these dolls are overpriced for what they are.

A few years back… That’s sad, what were those dolls like? As for these dolls you’d think they would of worked harder on them, I’d love it if they looked like the actors considering they are in a movie based around your brand around your brand.

Or 5 Rainbow High dolls at 70% off. I have gotten three PC dolls, Kia Hart, and two jr. high dolls for less than what one of these sells for. The outfits aren't bad, but I don't like the wide grins on these dolls. They look like brother and sister. My best option is to wait for the fashion packs to go clearance so I can put them on dolls I like better. Ken's outfit would look better on the buff Looks Ken from this year.

@@iamsoverybored878 Yes just give us fashion packs for our dolls so we can dress our dolls up as cosplayers for the new movie, or the dolls offered on the Barbie extra bodies so people could pose them a little, I don’t even want the dolls but think of the people who do. They’ve waited years for this movie, it’s likely going to be amazing they want dolls based on it and those are the dolls they are going to get? I want to get the Sunny and Luna twin set it might be a bit more expensive then these dolls but I need the cosplaying Sunny and Luna in my life.

If the Rollerblading Barbie & Ken is a two pack you might be looking at 80 - 90 dollars price tag 😬

Looks like the roller blading barbie costs around $35-40 at Walmart in Canada.

There is a set on Mattel Creations, it's 50$ for 3 outfits though.

And in Europe is even worse, they go up to 75€ the ones with stand... (the release price)

it's just cause it's for the movie, they know people are gonna be willing to pay more for them. I mean considering how much the other barbie movie dolls go for second hand now it makes sense, a lot of people will probably buy these hoping to resell in a few years

I’m surprised I haven’t seen any Harleys yet haha

Yeeeah I feel similar

Ohhh I appreciate the extra thought in that case! Makes sense

@@xCanadensis thanks for the review btw! Always excited to see your content

I was referring to ankle joints on Ken for assistance removing his pants… Barbie’s ankles weren’t mentioned

Except mizi and integrity actually put in the work to justify their price

@@DoIIyMama, yes, for an additional $50 to $100+ is my point. With those prices, $50 is on point for these Barbies.

@ms_nikki1806 I meant for $50 to $100 more, you actually get your money worth. Metal jewelry with all sorts of crystals and embellishments like actual jewelry, clothing which is lined and hemmed, better fabrics, fabric shoes, sprayed faces, gorgeous set hair and more. These are literal playline doll, produced like playline too. That barbie in pink dress has only 2 layers and glitter detailing for $50🥱🥱

@@DoIIyMama, these aren't playline, they are Black Label collectables. The two playline dolls are $25 each (the same price as Barbie Extra dolls). There is a difference in the quality of details and clothing between the $25 and $50 dolls. The pricing is on par for Black Label, take a look at the pricing for the celebrity dolls that were also Black Label. This is why they come in a larger display box, with more details (these dolls do have better fabric clothing, more clothing layers, better jewelry and better sewing details), a doll stand and are shipped in a cardboard shipper to protect the box. Barbie has different levels of collectable dolls but many people seem to believe that any Barbie you can purchase in a retail store is what used to be called Pink Label (playline), and they expect it to be priced as such. The Barbie reviewed in this video has a fabric hat, five fabric pieces of clothing (jacket, top, skirt, petticoat, underwear), snap closures instead of velcro and better details. All of which were praised in the video. The main critique in the video is the body articulation for the price. The problem here is there are a large amount of vocal Barbie collectors that don't like articulation, they love the model muse body because they feel the articulation causes ugly lines on the body. Some even go to the point of arguing a collector level doll shouldn't have a playline body (made to move). Being both a Barbie and Integrity doll collector, I believe the pricing for these dolls is fair. Even Integrity has seen an increase in pricing in recent years. Most of my recent Integrity dolls purchases were between $165-$200 each

I'm really disappointed in the quality of the so-called collector Barbies now of days. If I like one, I just wait till they go clearance. Just bought the tooth fairy, and she has poly hair she retailed for $55.

@@iamsoverybored878 I understand and do the same. I don't get why people are making excuses for Mattel

@Raechel Sykes I only paid $21, but I don't feel she's much of a bargain like compare her to The Storm Twins who only cost me $5 more. She's very pretty, at least, and it's going to be fun trying different dresses to go with the wings. I can dress her for different holidays and seasons.

At least it’s an easy MTM body to get a hold of hahaha

Same thoughts I had! 😊

And I've also unsubscribed. I am curious as to why my comment bothered you? saying that I thought Mattel might be testing the waters to see if consumers would pay these high price points for these kinds of dolls and that buyers should be careful of giving them the impression that we will...isn't that generally just supportive of your video's points? Anyway, that was my first comment here. i won't make that mistake again. funny because I see others making similar comments to mine, and those didn't elicit a snarky comment from you.

I agree!

I definitely said nothing about inflation in this video and I actually specifically said that a $50 doll 20 years ago is not worth comparing to this which is... me acknowledging inflation so I have no idea what this comment is coming from. The consumer has a concept via comparison for sure though and I can name 100 modern dolls that cost less or this exact price that feel more worth the price but I also discuss alternative explanations for the price (such as licensing). Regardless of any of this that does not change that I, objectively, cannot fathom a $50 price point for these dolls. Beautiful? Absolutely. High quality? Absolutely. But worth $50 to me? No. I'm not going to bootlick a company ever on this channel. I have a normal job that I use to buy a large amount of my dolls, I have bills, a mortgage and other things to purchase. just like most other consumers. If I am spending $50 on something I really need to be blown away- I was not blown away here. As someone who has had two businesses in the past: one with selling homemade items and the other with selling imported items- the MOST important thing was always finding a way to create a product that was the highest quality possible at a price that consumers would actually pay for the product. Mattel *literally* was recently officially quoted as saying that they've learned that consumers will spend more money for lesser quality in order to explain their current business model. That is where I believe this new pricing is coming from. However this review is my own opinions so none of anything above matters, right? In my opinion they are not worth $50 despite being very cool

Still overpriced and garbage.

@@DoIIyMama then produce your own doll line. I dare you.

@@xCanadensis first of all I didn’t need a dissertation. If y’all think it’s so easy, manufacture a product yourself. And yes you can show me dolls with “better” quality. But what you CANNOT show is their profit/loss margin!

@𝑑𝑜𝑙𝑙 ⋆˚⸝⸝‬ that wasn’t passive aggressive. I was direct. Use your words.

… where did I hate on Ken

"He's so cute!" = hate?
