New ILY Ariel. Are metal chains on phones some kind of new zoomer trend or?
>>11019517White Stitch
>>11019518Black Stitch
>>11019510>>11019511>>11019514These are straight out of the early 90s and not necessarily in a good way.
>>11019510>>11019511>>11019513>>11019514Still not sure how I feel about them, but I kind of like the first three.
>>11019575Yeah same, not sure how to feel. I like the faces and the hairstyles but the clothes are super cheap and bare bones. Brooklyn's skirt legit looks like it was cut out of a piece of paper.
>>11019497Best 1/6 Jasmine princess doll?
>>11019542>early 90sYou mean the clothes or the faces? The clothes are mid to late 2000s style, except Asian girl who is clearly based off this kpop chick.
>>11019608That's it
>>11019608no cute navel/10
>>11019510>>11019511>>11019513>>11019514Hate it
>>11019608Do my eyes deceive me or is this Jasmine autist? Feels like we haven't seen you for at least a year now, man.Anyways I'm partial to the Broadway Jasmine doll I picked up after seeing the show. The outfit is very unique.
>>11019514>>11019513>>11019511>>11019510I am BEGGING doll companies to think outside the fucking box when they go down their diversity checklist and do LITERALLY ANYTHING OTHER THAN -blond white girl-textured hair black girl-brown hair latina-black hair asianPeople dye their hair, other hair color combos exist, and MIXED FUCKING RACE PEOPLE EXIST I"M LOSING IT
>>11019510>>11019511>>11019513>>11019514Hate the EAH style heads and faces.
>>11020228>Staple because everyone buys them every time>Appeals the most to people who specifically search for a black dollThe lack of hair dye does strike me as odd though especially on the other 2, since it is easy to add one or two streaks and make them more interesting. Perhaps they're just testing the waters, and would rather make safe yet boring choices to see how the new style sells.Also, from a design standpoint, I don't see many benefits to mixed race specifically. I reckon it'd be hard to tell with the simplified style while also not being something most people demand. I'm mixed, and while I have some parts of my appearance I deem interesting, some also became less eye-catching. Usually, going for clear archetypes might be boring, but it makes for easily distinguishable characters.
>>11020228For real, it's like they forget that other races and hair colors besides what you listed exist. It's so boring. And who even has a oddly diverse friend group like this irl anyways?
>>11020353>White>Black>Asian>BrownWhat other races do you want? Indian? Indigenous? There's not much left after those 4 and their variations. Honestly it surprises me we only have a handful of fantasy lines when there's so much more variety in magical beings than in us.
>>11020442>What other races do you want? Indian? Indigenous? Yes. Also Persian or Arab.
>>11020228>Asian doll with black hair and blunt bangsevery time>>11020353it's not that odd, even I had a friend group like that as a kid... I did live in a city with a 40% immigrant population though.
>>11020228The constant brown haired Latinas confuse me because every Latino person I've ever known had black hair. It seems pretty rare for them to naturally have any other color.ILY 4ever did some mixed race (black/white) dolls you might be interested in. I think it would harder to tell with other mixes... a doll that's white/Asian for example would just like either white or Asian, there's no way to make it look like both somehow.
>>11020228R-R-R-RAINBOW HIGH
>>11019518>>11019520Lol they should've just done a fashion pack.
>>11019511This one would be the best if they didn't do freaking plastic leg warmers.
>>11019624There's nothing 90s nor 2000s abouts these design or pics you shown, it all recent stuff and not older than 2018.
>>11020611Ok zoomer. As someone who was not a toddler at that time, I think I know better than you. Paris was the queen of style in mid-late 2000s and her throwback pics absolutely encapsulate it. My god am I tired of zoomers debating over which style is what in these threads, just like you dumbasses can't tell the difference between emo and scene either.
>>11020343>I don't see many benefits to mixed race specifically.Because you could mix traits from different people and create more interesting unique dolls. Like whens the last time they had a darker skinned asian? That's not even mixed, just what a lot of asians look like, but they always do this pale look. Or more light brown with puffy hair could look very cute. Or black girls with red or lighter brown hair, or asian girls with lighter hair with different textures. Not sure I've ever seen an asian coded doll with curls. Idk, I am white as hell so maybe I'm misguided>>11020442Yes but also brown girls with blonde hair and white girls with brown hair and black girls with pink hair and mixed race girls and albino girls and curly haired girls and and andThey don't have to do this stuff with specific races, just open up google and notice people look different and make more dolls like that, they get so hung up on checking off a listHow many white girls are even actually blonde, most white girls have brown or at most dirty blonde hair>>11020542>every Latino person I've ever known had black hairFOR REAL, it gives the latina doll a fakey look every time, like she and the white girl bleach their hair and look more beauty focused and superficial
>>11020760Literally every single thing you listed can be found in the fashionistas line.
>>11020760>Dark skinCheck>Not mixedCheck>AsianShe might be Andamanese, so check>Curly hairCheck
Does anyone have pictures of the upcoming Disney Limited Edition dolls?
yasmin is middle eastern, not latina.The brown haired character is ambiguous brown or even mixed. the first line is the "stereotype" of a race just to be safe.the dolls get more diversified if you don't let them flop. Next batch of dream besties include ken and a red head, daisy. Midge is probably dead.
>>11020353 I've been in choirs and anime clubs. I was engaged to someone whose degree is literally a "Space science degree." Yes. All the time. but you are missing one in a little power suit.
>>11020760 Red haired Asians. They killed off their natives but it's still in the bloodline. Black and Arabic girls with jade and blue eyes.
The new LOL Tweens which have inflatable furry costumes. Um...
>>11021784
>>11021786
>>11021784Cutie reveal but worse, I guess?
>>11021784>>11021786>>11021788What on earth... So the doll goes inside? Why?
>>11019497I just bought a RH doll off ebay, the doll arrived today but her face looks different, the whites in her eyes look bigger and droopier than the one in the listing picture (not a stock image). Is it worth asking the seller about or opening a case? its still NIB but her face is BUSTED compared to her listing photo, I tried taking photos of her from the same angle to see if I was being crazy.
>>11022040or should I just buy a replacement doll body?
>>11022040Post the doll, there are 'damaged dolls from the line" on Aliexpress that are official dolls, but were not good enough for store sale, they might have sold you a damaged one(this is also where people buy extra RH bodies)
>>11022053She's not damaged, it not like her eye sockets are wonky or anything. It just looks off..am I crazy?
>>11022053This was the listing image
>>11022071Not the same doll, the pattern of "RH" doesn't match the one in the photo.
>>11022082it's the same, it just moved during transit
>>11022088Thats what I initially thought, and that the eye moved, but the upper jacket around the zipper, even with glare, is different as to where the half H's are. Its very close. But not exact.
>>11022096yeah, I'm noticing a difference in the second outfit too. I wonder if it feel the extra button fell off during transit...her pose is different too...not mad but disappoint and sad.
>>11022071>>11022073>>11022112Yeah, I think she's different, the brows don't seem to have the same gradient. I had this happen with a Zooey I ordered when I was specifically looking for her soft make-up variant and they sent me one with the strong make-up instead, luckily the seller was really nice about it and sent me the one from the actual listing when I messaged them.
>>11022112Sellers do this often, either they have a stack of them and don't feel like retaking the photo, or they didn't feel like photographing at all and just grabbed someone else's photos; it's quite dishonest but ebay doesn't care. To the seller they would probably argue "it's the same doll" because it's the same product that they listed. But RH have a lot of variations in their manufacturing, I have bought a couple and have noticed so many variations just on the shelf. Most likely your doll is an official one that's just got some minor imperfections, or a factory reject the seller bought from aliexpress.Your dolls eyes don't look so bad, the eyeball is just placed slightly differently. This is something you will have trouble with with RH if you are very picky about it, because the fact that the eye is separate, there will always be slight variations and faces can be slightly different. Buying off the shelf was the best way to pick one you like but obviously with so many retired ones it's difficult.If you go after a return I would focus on the missing button, since it's a much more obvious difference from the photos.
>>11021997Because MGA is just pulling out as many crazy gimmicks as possible right now. I am curious how they stay inflated with the doll inside though, wouldn't placing the doll in there let the air out?
>>11022112Send it back if it isn't the one you got. Ebay allows this sort of thing (if it isn't often) and message the seller ahead of time and ask if you are getting the exact doll photographed.
>>11022040just use boiling water you lazy fuck
>>11022334What does boiling water do?
>>11022366You can soften the head and readjust the eyes slightly, look up some videos for tips if you decide to try it since there are some ways it can go wrong
>>11022378From what I can see, the eyes and lashes don't look misplaced. The white gap under the iris is very visible, I can even see it from an upward angle, which I don't see from other rainbow high dolls I have with the same head mold. I think it might be the shape of the socket itself.
Thoughts on the Magic Mixies Supremes first look?https://www.youloveit.com/dolls/3916-magic-mixies-pixie-supremes-fashion-doll-magic-mirror-set.html
>>11022559Cute doll, cheap dress
>>11021788Ok, time and time without fall when somebody posts about a new doll here 6 hours later the same individual post them in the same server I am in, I assume the doll news first come on Twitter then 4Chan then servers so maybe she got them from Twitter but she also posts them in the same order they are posted here I wouldn't have a problem with this if the server and her as well wasn't "all anons are transphobic hackers that sieg heil" rather than cringy spergs that don't wanna become lolcows so they don't have an online presence, I hate how the creation of the containment board for the edgetards and the 2016 freaks ruined this place and now the TikTok invasion, it's just a lot
Does anyone know the facemold of the red tail mermaid? Is it just a plain old Millie facemold? Ages ago in Australia, I saw her up against the purple odile facemold mermaid, and I ignored the odile mermaid because I liked red-tail mermaid better and because I don't care about odile.I don't see the purple odile mermaids down here anymore though, but I see some other people are disappointed they never seem to be in store anymore
>>11022607Just bite the bullet and buy it off Mercari
>>11022607she has daya sculpt.If you saw her irl, you can readily compare her with millie's face and it's not the same lol.
>>11022799so she does have a unique face! thanks for identifying the face! i thought it was pretty>you can readily compare her with millie's face and it's not the same lol i hate it when someone proposes a really obvious solution because u feel really dumb for not thinking about it before
>>11022607I don't think they use the white facemolds for black dolls. At least not that I've ever noticed? Black people have different facial features so there's sculpts exclusive to them.
>>11022579Eh tbf I think even a lot of us would rather have a different place to discuss and keep up with news rather than 4chan. I miss forums, those were much better but all are long dead now. They had reasonable rules without being SJW infested like Reddit/Twitter are. And I'm too old to understand how Discord or whatever other newfangled things work so I'm stuck here.
>>11022559This one is meh, the darker purple that leaked was prettier but i just can't get over the fact those are $60, it's even worst than skulltimate because the case is interractive so you can't toss it and more than half of the budget went to the electronics
>>11023484moose toys when will you listen to customers and make option for the magic mixies without all the extra plastic bullshit
>>11023509they're 2nd best selling dolls last year. LOL OMG sales are in the top 5 too and outsold MH and RH but it was still affected by them dropping the blind box unecessary plastic BS.They don't need to listen to you. Kids buy it for the gimmick.
>>11023509You're not the main demographic, chief... kids love that bulky blind box shit, that's why you see it in most doll lines now.>>11023563Where do you find the sales figures?
>>11023579>>11023590Don't be such a pussy.
Anything good in the W Club this year?
>>11023603this mermaid
>>11023603there are fashion packs but your dolls are in lingerie anyway
>>11023629
>>11023630
>>11023631
>>11023637Now this I can get behind. The headband and skirt print on black-haired Poppy looks beautiful.
>>11023647funny how the best thing in wclub rn is designed by 3rd party> The other is the Poppy Parker fashion based on Jason Kramer's winning entry in the 2023 International Integrity Toys Design Competition, "Boho Go!", announced last year.
>>11023637>the coat and sunglasses combooh hell yes
>>11023595Kek G3fags btfo. Not even cracking the top 5. We could already tell by how much they shelfwarm. Thanks for sharing, anon.
>>11020760Those are all just hair colors and 2 different hair textures. I thought you meant facial features, which are often lost in simplified dolls. The answer is probably something to do with color theory or whatever.And it's cheaper.>>11022273>Let the air outHave you never seen one of these before? Even simpler for dolls because it's an inflatable shell with a hollow cavity inside.
>>11024236Oh... I don't understand the mechanics of these at all. I was thinking of like a beach ball or a bouncy house type thing. Maybe I'm just retarded.
>>11023595And collector sworn kids love quality, i kinda wonder if the slime rainbow high dolls are mean to compete with the pop reveal fruit since they both have slime elements.>>11024103I went to their website and monster high g3 is in constent growth, and sell really well in europe and latin america, skulltimate are their best selling itemsMga tho is in the red last year they lost a half a billion in market share with LOL and rainbow high which explain the reboot.>>11024236>>11024338They actually have an air pump inside
Are your dolls ready to get drunk ? I wonder how they're going to be distributed internationally because miniverse is only available in toy stores where I'm from.
>>11024888The tequila shot octopus is adorable.
>>11024846g3's 'official' global launch was last year + MH is a known and nostalgic brand,of course it has growth. Still not selling enough tho because walmart dropped exclusives, no big retailer wants hissfits, it's pridemonth and welcome to the comittee frankie is literally where, MH had the core refresh soft reboot, Skulltimate secrets didn't sell enough too that they had to rename it Monster Mysteries and had to change the packaging. Drac can't carry the brand alone.
>>11024888Omg this is awesome gimme that tiny Moscow mule
>>11024888I'm curious where it'll go in the store since it won't be the toy section
>>11020760>Because you could mix traits from different people and create more interesting unique dolls.Got to be honest anon you sound like a fetishist, there's plenty of "obscure" ethnicities with unique features saying that only mixed people have that it's a bit reductive, heck not mention how much variation in within one race
>>11024846>and sell really well in europeHuh. Must be other parts of Europe than here, because the shelves always look completely untouched when I see themBut so do the doll shelves in general, desu. I guess because they are fucking stupidly expensive. Like, fuck off, I am not paying the equivalent of 60+ bucks for a doll that should be 30 at most>>11024888Love it. Hope they show up here eventually
>>11024846MH is an American brand and American sales are all that matters. No one gives a shit about international sales, it's an afterthought at best. All the Skulltimates besides Drac sat on the shelves here for ages until they went on deep clearance.>>11025020Most likely the "collector" section over by the tech aisle, where the adult action figures and Funko pops and stuff are.
>Jem is so dead as a property that even Hasbro has all but officially replaced her
>>11025034I’m just tired of the same exact traits used for the same race-coded dolls. Sorry if I get muddled in the words there but I only care about pretty dolls.
>>11025374Oh yeah I forget that exists
>>11024888Your regular stores (like equivalent to WM/Target) don't have toys in them?
>>11025508They have a really small aisle through the year with mostly old stuff and some new stuff then at chrismas get all the new popullar toys with two or three more aisles. Two years ago they had a full case of ghoul spirit spectra next to hasbro belle singing dolls
>the rainbow high winter wonderland dolls come with the magic snow already on the piecessad...
>>11025860Are they releasing this now, in the summer...? That would be such a weird decision
>>11025455i am surprised this post isnt del, hmmm.. test[spoiler]i am a lurker anyways so who cares[/spoiler]
>>11026052Jannies don't bother to moderate this thread anymore. That's been evident since a few threads ago where a guy was spamming pics of random models here, completely unrelated to dolls or toys in general, and it didn't get deleted despite being reported many times.
>>11026218Or you can just tell the truth and say that the jannie got sacked for false deleting on topic discussion/arguments because of one poster in the thread that would cry constantly to get whatever they didn't like, deleted. Good fucking riddance, and based jannies/mods who remain and leave the threads alone when they don't need to be touched.
By the way winter violet's pants got changed into a skirt
>>11026270can we stop giving white girls panda ears, it looks stupid
>>11026270They also lost the flocked pet, mittens and accessories for the snowman
The miniverse HP collab is a whole playset, gonna be $40, releases October 1st
>>11026226There's more than one person who reports off topic posts and sperging, vendettafag. Pretty sure we just have a janny shortage atm and the applications will go up soon, then hopefully the moderation will improve.
>>11026469It's an entire set and not just individual items? Hm. Seems pretty strange. I wanted some for my MH ghoulies...>>11026469These threads are full of, "Stop liking what I don't like!" fags, and yes, they 100% did used to get their discord janny to come and clean up wrongthink posts.
>>11026485They do have a mystery ball so they'll probably sell them separately and the whole set being an online only deal
>>11022159>>11022167>>11022306yeah, you guys were right. Seller finally replied, they confirmed they had 2 but they sold the actual doll in the listing photo already, so they can't make an exchange. I'll try to make a return,
>>11026270>Gives Sunny yellow snow
>>11027227Sadly a common thing, but it's actually against eBay rules so you should be able to get your money back pretty easily.
>>11027227You're the reason I don't sell on eBay. Fussy fuckers. Nothing wrong with the doll.Just buy in person if you're going to be like this lol
>>11027457Thanks, unfortunate to hear considering a lot of eBay policies actively discourages it.11027502>You're the reason I don't sell on eBay. Fussy fuckers. Nothing wrong with the doll.The appeal of buying dolls on eBay over other sites like Amazon is the fact that you can see exactly what you're getting. If I didn't give a shit, then I would have bought the doll from a third party seller off amazon who uses stock images. As a general rule, when consumers are expected to pay more for product, they tend to be fussier and more involved in consumer decision-making process.>Just buy in person if you're going to be like this lolThis doll is literally out of production.
too soon
>>11028485budget doll
>>11028485Going the same way as G2. The end is near.
>>11028485I'm impressed they lasted this long before putting out a budget doll, articulated wrists are an interesting choice
>>11028485>seemingly articulated wrists but no articulated elbowsWeird choice desuI feel like most people would take elbows over wrists any day
>>11028815>>11028539mattel heard people complain about RH and LOL tweens losing wrist articulation and made that cursed decision
>>11028485I've seen that these are going to be $15, and that's kind of bizarre, since there are already budget dolls that that $17 with full articulation, like the Scaradise dolls.
>>11028539>>11028815The articulated wrists and posed arms make me think it might be a gimmick doll
>>11028384Going for yellow snow snowman is definitely a choice
>>11024338They either seal at the ends of the limbs, or they're like a blanket. You know how a heavy blanket will have several layers of fabric? Turn those layers into flexible plastic, make a costume out of them and seal it. Now just pump air inside and watch them stretch.Now you have what's essentially a normal costume, but it can be inflated. I will admit I never considered their design confusing in theory.
>>11029623Ohhh now I get it. Thank you for explaining to my dumb ass.>>11028384The fact that they're all wearing crop tops in a winter line is triggering my autism so hard rn.
Upcoming LOL Tweens Surprise Mermaid, because apparently Mermaze was not enough of a failure for MGA to lay off static tail mermaid shit
>>11028485How the table have turned lol, g3 stan were trashing rainbow high rebrand and now it's their turn.Tbh i'm not surprised they peaked so quickly, making a sleepover line their second core line, releasing so many exclusives year 1 plus having 15 + dolls of the main ghouls in less than two years.Also monster ball flopped and decreased "deluxe" line msrp from $30 to $25 making them imposible to make future deluxe lines that aren't skulltimate.Also kinda funny how their peak is pixel printing on shoes and accessories while rainbow high peak was fabric boots and bags.>>11028539>>11028815It's for re-dressing them, for tight sleeves or straps.
Any Bratz news? I feel like since their relaunch I haven't heard anything since Bratz babies.
>>11030069more bratz babies and sleepover repro
>>11029818barbie dreamtopia mermaids are made every year. they usually have poly hair (not this year's) and they also have static tails.Mermaze didn't sell because it was too expensive and the tails are ugly.Those tweens are clearly for the summer and for kids to bring to the pool/beach.The demographic is not you.
>>11030243is it easy to empty the water from these barbies, or does mold still grow easily in them?
>>11030256you mean dry? sure, they plastic and don't have fabric pieces. Poly hair is hydrophobic but it disintegrates faster from sun exposure.More reason mermaze flops. intricate hairstyle retains and gets ruined by water, their fabric clothes would be prone to mold.
>>11030243the fact that the bras, tail ends and crowns are mismatched triggers me so much for some reasons
>>11021784These are cute af. I might have to actually buy some. I don't usually collect LOLs.>>11023615Wtf is wclub and how much is this going to set me back?>>11028384The lack of a Jade both please and disappoints me. (I have all the Jade dolls rn)>>11030027Is there a better picture? These look cute af too.I mostly collect Jade and then pick up random things that I think are cute.I have a bratz that I have been wanting to body swap for some time but haven't found a good colour match. I recently rediscovered giantoy and 2dbeat, they sell all sorts of 1/6 bodies. Does anyone know of one that I can transplant the head on to for sure?
>>11030075boring, Bratz is flopping hard
>>11030271That shit always bothered me too. They'd look so much better with a still colorful, but more cohesive color scheme
So I got a core refresh lagoona, and dear lord does she need a boil wash. So much product in her hair to get those curls, they're rock solid. I know she's saran, but I had a dumb question. It appears as if mattel is using literal string to keep her hair and space buns in place. if I wanted to redo them, how to I avoid needing to use string to keep her buns up? I am not good with styling small hair.
>>11030449Ah,nvm. The string is just for those rock solid "curls". It's not even a full bun, just a tiny twist and held in place with elastics.
>>11030317>Is there a better picture?Scroll up to the first few posts in this thread.>>11030387Don't know what people expected. Bratz is super rooted in its Y2K style/trends and little kids these days are not into Y2K shit. Just because zoomers like something does not mean little kids will.
>>11030613I didn't realise those were the same things.Yeah they cute af. Gonna need them all lol
>>11030075i forgot there's also another celeb collab and a rumored mean girls dolls ( might be the celeb collab idk )
looking at the doll pics i saved, these dolls are called "arabian friends" cuz anon was complaining about why brown girls in a line are often latina.they also come with a hijab and some sets have an abaya
>>11032031Proof that fashion dolls can have skirts and dresses that end well below the knees and still look stylish:
>>11032031These are cute but the phenotypes are very European so that takes away from it. Most MENA girls don't have tiny button noses. They almost kinda look like Winx Club.
Disney Store is having a sale and has a free shipping code right now. LE Aurora is $45 off if anyone was interested in her.
>>11032253they're dolls lmaoso weird looking for realism. I'm sure white girls do not look like rainbow high.People think it's the company that made winx that made those dolls.xcanadensis reviewed it and it's not the exact head and body mold but very similar.
>>11032253>the phenotypes are very European so that takes away from it.I didn't know that the European phenotype included freakishly large almond shaped cartoon eyes. Learn something new every day.
>>11032253>phenotypes are very Europeanwhat in gods fucking name are talking about, this is some autism
>>11032253>the phenotypes are very EuropeanNo>Most MENA girls don't have tiny button noses.Neither do Europeans
if the doll wasn't so shit, i'd like another doll with the proportions of the Lammily doll. She's cute, and holding a chunkier doll feels nice. Curvy barbie will do for now, but I like the shorter legs of the Lammily
>>11032253>phenotypes are very EuropeanSince when slanted eyes and flat nose bridge means European, I give you this maybe you are American and maybe American whites right now are so mixed they no longer have European features but I highly doubt it or maybe you are from asian and your definition of white it's a half Asian half European person rather than a non-mixed European
>>11032449>>11032777>>11032870>>11033033Delusional autists. Picrel is averaged out phenotypes of Arabs vs Europeans. Oh yeah Arabs totally have tiny button noses durrhurr
>>11033144you're being misleading.You picked east europeans which have asian admixture and for the middle eastern side, picked the ones with the biggest noses.
>>11033144You are the jasmine autist, aren't you?
>>11033144The woman on the top right just looks romani to me for some reason
>>11033169I think it's the female nazi that collects "shota" dolls.Wonder what phenotype are lol omgs
>>11033180Why OMG catching strays, leave the queens alone
>>11033231nooo, I love LOL OMGs, in fact those are my dolls.Just making fun of the anon because dolls are stylized. And if they are realistic, they are idealized people.I think that anon is in the same boat as karens that cry over dolls having unrealistic body standards.
Anyone able to identify this man? Back says 2013 MattelI only got him to steal his clothes, but I'm curious
>>11033314fashionistas ken BFW11
>>11033333NeatThanks, anon
>>11033180Mesopotamian ass looking mfs
>>11033243Is it weird that I don't mind some botched face-ups?(If the doll has a lazy eye)
>>11032031>why brown girls in a line are often latina.They ARE, most of these dolls are made for americans and doll companies have this idea that little girls will only buy dolls that look like them, and we have a huge hispanic population, so the singular brown doll is absolutely always thought of as latina/hispanic. It's problematic because for some reason she is always very high femme and "sexy" too. The best we get is ambiguously brown to cover other folks. It actually blew my mind they did an indian girl for RH, they almost never included other ethnicities other than black/pale asian/hispanic.
>>11033473Do we know what race Raquelle was? I always saw her as Filipino or some other type of SEA, which is not usually featured in dolls
>>11033605Unconfirmed
>>11033605Transracial
Can we please report the weird with the race phenotype shit, thank you in advance This is doll discussion
New miniverse
>>11033882Jannies haven't moderated our thread for months now, where have you been? We've already been over this >>11026218
>>11034305That's what happens when you abuse your power and delete posts to cater to a singular anon, rather than actually moderate. You get the boot. And of course, this stuff will stay up as technically doll phenotypes are still related to doll discussion, albeit it's been done in a very spergy manner this time.
>>11034344Enough with the vendetta tinfoiling bro. Moderation of the whole board went to shit when they instated the 2 week autosages, that rule in itself made it clear they're very low on janny labor (probably due to a bunch of them quitting, since it's a time consuming and thankless job that they do for free). Most other boards don't have autosages like this. And if you hang out in other /toy/ generals you'd see they've been having the same issues with unmoderated off topic shit and trolling.There was never only one anon reporting off topic posts, plenty of us report. There was never only one janny seeing reports and deleting things, that's not how janny queues work. Touch grass.
>>11033967Did they run out of creativity? Almost none of these really have a DIY part
>>11034472I assume you put tea in the teapots, make the candles in molds and poor water and dirt in the pots. The lifestyle miniverse have always been the least diy of the miniverse lines
>>11034472Wasn't there gonna be an upcoming series that's supposed to include silicone molds to make tea sets and stuff from resin? I figured this series was it, but maybe I'm misremembering?
Upcoming Unicorn Academy dolls
>>11034665
>>11034667
>>11034669There's also an accompanying figure line which I think looks much better quality than the dolls
>>11034670
>>11034671
These are the supposed clues for this year's MH SDCC exclusive. Is that a sword?
>>11034677And Spectra is starting to show up in stores now. I feel like she's significantly less cheap looking than most G3s
>>11034677That's He-Man's sword and Skeletor's staff, at least..
>>11034670I saw these in person, I hate this modern design sensibility. They look like marvel superheroes.
>>11034682The other two in this wave just look so cheap in comparison. Also why hasn't Catty shown up in stores yet?
And here is the new Barbie dreamhouse Polly Pocket. Mattel makes their own Polly Pocket-ish Barbie line but then partners with Polly Pocket itself anyways... weird
>>11034557Maybe those will be the ",series 2" to it
>>11034688She showed up at my Walmart
>>11034682>>11034688It's because she has a lot fabric but it's still a simple romper with a cape sleeves, her og doll had real chains however i think venus is the best one with her following closely. Catty is the wrost g3 yet, she a cute base but everything esle is trash, everyone that got her restyled her just to not say she's a bad doll.>>11034686Me too the aestethic just doesn't hit, an horse line should have one or more of these vibes : classic cowgirls, western boho chic or preppy equestrian.
>>11030027>>11034665>>11034667>>11034669They all showed up in Australian Kmart store shelves already. And yet we're still waiting on so many MH releases. Make it make sense.
>>11034682What stores? I NEED a spectra.
>>11034779I'm so bitter that other countries still get to have Kmart and TRU. I miss them so much.>>11034753Oh nice. I'll have to stop by WM this week to check.>>11034788Smyths, which I guess is only in the UK but it's a good sign she should be showing up stateside soon.
>>11034667These are available on Amazon already.>>11034762>Venus is bestMein nigger. She is the one I boughtIt is weird for the ones that come with a horse but I think the dolls are oretty cute
>>11034686What store did you see them in? I want to get it for the horses. I wish they were articulated but they're cute enough to get anyway.
>>11034688The best thing about Catty is unironically her pet. It's one of the only cute G3 pets imoGuess her body could be interesting for a custom tooOtherwise she's just a cheap-looking, poorly-styled mess
>>11035116Her design is hideous but it's a uniquely big body that we might never see again in dolls so I want her just for that. Hopefully people will start making and selling some better clothes for her.
>>11035020Target, they had them out along with some of the new MH lockers. The first girl's horse is pearlescent, it was kind of cute. They are half the size of fashion dolls though, only about 6 inches tall.
>>11035116>Otherwise she's just a cheap-looking, poorly-styled messI think you could say this about every gen since 1 desu, it feels like they lost the plotgen 1 was very tight in design and colors and consequently came up with very nice stuffNow, they have to capitulate to changing tastes and it doesn't fit the IP. My money is that this is the last generation before its shelved for a long time.
>>11034472>>11034548>>11034557They all come with tiny silicone molds to make the tea sets, candles and vases from scratch. You can peep some more design probably from wave 2.Also here a secret scoop, the upcoming lord of the rings minis also come with molds to make the weapons
>>11036087I really don't know if I like this. I guess it creates a lot of possibilities for customs/remixes. But UV resin isn't super high quality, all of this stuff will yellow over time. You don't notice it as a sauce or drink as much, but the whole mini being made of resin is kind of iffy for me. IDK, we will see.Also I hope the LotR stuff is classic LotR and not rings of power.
>>11034691Polly’s historically been less articulated than that so the way I see this is the designers wanting to experiment using the core brand that’s more of a “safety net” guaranteed to recoup sales (read: Barbie) before rolling shit out with the future Polly playsets.
>>11036087>>11036118They are really making LOTR ones? When and where can I get these? I never cared about miniverse but I do now. What scale are they? Will they make good accessories for my Galadriel Barbie?
>>11036235But the Barbieland things are way less articulated than Polly. They only have waist articulation. I don't know how well they sell, I doubt it's more than Polly (...but idk for sure)
>>11036430I think that line specifically is higher ups capitalizing on what’s left of the Barbenheimer craze for as long as they still have any semblance of a working relationship with WB before that film becomes an inevitable licensing nightmare in like a decade removed for all parties involved.
>>11036087Need to get my hands on some of these then. The cat teapots/cups especially>the upcoming lord of the rings minis also come with molds to make the weaponsVery interesting
>>11036237first look at them they definitely are on the smaller side
>core refresh lagoona's top causes staining out of the boxAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>11037089Send a pic nigger
>>11037471My camera skills are shit, but she stains super easily from the top. This is actually the second mark she has, the first is slightly lower down from the box positioning. It's on both arms.
>>11037481That pic is super shit, here's another from her right side, this time with the bottom part of the sleeve rather than the top.
>>11037482Girl came with ligature marks
>>11037007A resin weapons forge is actually a pretty neat idea
I have one of those talking Trump dolls, does anyone know where I can get a Ken-sized Jewish hat for it to wear so the doll can express Trump's heritage?
>>11038998just make one out of air dry clay
New SDCC Ghoulia
>>11039256fuck, i really like her.she'll also be avaliable online, $75.
>>11039256Not huge on the crimped hair, but otherwise she's pretty much perfect
>>11039256I like the crimped hair as a change of pace, but I know nothing about this character so it's a pass.
>>11039256>calf-length crimped hairWhy
>>11039256>>11039376i don't mind the crimped hair, but i don't like that green threading on the suit, really wish it was black or red instead. that face is so good though, if i manage to get her i'll have to take the mask off.
Would fortune teller Barbie be popular if it became a thing?
>>11040031If it were released today? Absolutely not. If it were released in the 70's-80's? Absolutely yes.
>>11039256OG Deadfast Ghoulia was much more charming imo. Also why the fuck are they rehashing old dolls now? They've truly run out of ideas?
>>11040031>>11040037Bratz did it in 2006 and bratzillaz almost released a "gipsy" doll. Mystikats a very elusive bratz knock off also did the fortune teller fashion. Like you said it's impossible nowdays.
>>11040031Would be considered culturally insensitive/offensive today
>>11040084I can understand them wanting to re-do Dead Fast Ghoulia, since that is one of the most popular dolls of G1 and is a good match for a Comic Con. I'm not crazy about the end redesign itself, not a fan of the dark blue hair, but I think the worst mistake here was not updating the design of Dead Fast! She is supposed to be wearing a female version of her favourite comic book hero, yet her outfit is actually totally different? Heck, they could had even made it so that this new outfit is a live action movie version of Dead Fast - that would perfectly explain the kinda over-designed look of it! Give her a movie poster prop, a repainted figure, and like a photo of herself with the actor of live action Dead Fast.
>>11039256More fucking plastic harnesses
>>11040472>I think the worst mistake here was not updating the design of Dead Fast>they could had even made it so that this new outfit is a live action movie version of Dead Fast yeah that's what i was assuming they were going for since it's clearly designed after MCU-style 'reboot' superhero outfits, just a weird missed opportunity not to have dead fast wearing the same outfit in the accessories
