- Holy pink! I'm deboxing and reviewing Proudly Pink Barbie doll from the 2019 BFMC lineup.
Is there such a thing as too much pink? Well, if there is, I think this doll is it. I'm disappointed that I'm not gaga for her. Though there are some beautiful pieces individually, all together I just don't get it. And the fact that there's a Velcro belt on this doll tells me that the BFMC collection is officially over! How sad.
THUMBS UP for Barbie!!

At least you're someone with a voice, good fashion sense and close enough to designers to say everything we want to say but they seem to ignore. I know that Designers aren't the ones to blame most of the time, specially because it's mattel's poor choices on how Barbie is going down the road, but, I truly hope they bring back quality and not just for silkstone dolls, for all of the dolls, from the cheapest to the most expensive ones. we're seeing in playline dolls terrible face screening, cheap clothes, horrible boxes.... things are just in a way that we don't see a way back. if things stay the same, her 70th anniversary will be a "in memoriam." thanks for putting out there everything we want to say.
viktorddolls well thank you. I hope that I can champion for all of us. And you’re right-at this rate, 70 will definitely be in memoriam 😭
LOOOOOVE THE BOOTS and the top! The top is very Jackie O, but yeah they should have collaborated with jeremy scott on this again lol.
HeXtian I know gurl! The boots are so you actually 😍💖
This doll just didn't grab me. I think if I do get her, she'll be redressed. I like pink well enough, but head-to-toe pink usually isn't my vibe. I also think this hairstyle is overused for Silkstones, so I'd probably restyle the hair as well. This doll is cute, but she's more of a 'wait for a sale' type of doll for me.
Siansonea Orande wait for a sale doll haha totally. And yea I plan to redress her too. Let’s see what comes of it!
I'm getting this ! I love the overload of pink and great review as always
Joseph D Costa I’m glad you like her!
Thank you so much for reviewing her and giving those of us that couldn't get her a chance to see her!!!
Sinclair Mercer it’s my pleasure! Thanks for watching 😋
I like her, but it’s too much pink for me,,, ❤️ the purse & boots though , .... A restyling video would be awesome.... Thanks for sharing 🤗
onlyalisa W I agree! I’m going to focus on the cute pieces and style out the rest. Let’s see what happens! Xoxo
Pleez restyle. 💕
I'm in agreement, it's just too much pink. I do like pieces of her ensemble but altogether it's A LOT.
gingerandcloves right?! Like my eye doesn’t know where to go. Just too much
As always, a wonderful review Suresh! I have her, but haven’t taken her out of her box yet. I knew before I even got her that I wouldn’t be a fan of her outfit. I am currently looking for something else for her to wear. I got her mainly for her pink hair! 💕💖💕
This GuysGurls Life thank you! You know, I think many collectors got her for her pink hair! We have not seen fantasy hair color in Silkstones before (at least not that I can remember) so this was a fun first 💖
I've never seen a video like this and I'm not in the doll community, I'm just working on a project on the color of shocking pink and this doll is wearing the hue-however, I just had to comment and say how much I enjoyed this video. Your enthusiasm down to the color of your tie is absolutely wonderful, and I'd be delighted to run into you in my day to day life. Much respect.
Thank you! xoxo
I love the way that you just go ahead and you just go into automatic detail and those clothing and the shoes and the manicure the pedicure the earrings on these Barbie dolls even on the other dolls that you do I love the way that you review them that is so beautiful the way you break it down I love that keep the beautiful videos rolling God bless you thank you so much for sharing your love of dolls with us
Jean Zupek aw so sweet thank you!
I wanna see the restyle version 😆
Yes ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
vicente magallanes I’ll be sure to film an update!
You know what, I'll come forward-- When I was in high school, I had hot pink, platformed, velveteen over the knee boots. So this doll, no fault to her own, brings back horrible memories!! Lmao
Confessional aside, I'm in agreement with you. All the pieces are nice on their own, but not together. They seem more at odds than harmonious. Besides, when I think of luxury Barbie, I don't actually think Pink- I associate Pink with playline. When I think vintage, and luxury, I think blue! Her powder blue fit and flares (Movie Date and Suburban Shopper), her frothy blue peignoirs, and delicate blue nylon lingerie... Those speak luxury and nostalgia to me more than hot pink frosted hair ever could. (Though I might just be a *bit* opinionated ;P)
Maeve Baldwin omg what a great point! There’s a lot of blue in the Silkstone collection that could have been reused so beautifully. Also, you need to bring back those boots 😍😘💙💙
Glad you said something about the “ehh” 😬. I’m just not impressed with the doll. Hope the doll next week has more WOW effect to her 😘
Dandmpeck yes I hope so too! 😘
I’m excited that you’re back! I agree that this doll had some nice individual pieces that just didn’t work put together. At the moment, she reminds me of pepto bismol 😂 but I bet she will be beautiful once you restyle her!
Haha yes Pepto is a common thread that many people are referring her to. Glad to be back! xoxo
I always LOVE your honest reviews. Actually to me, she looked better in your review than I expected. I'm probably going to get her anyway for the 60th anniversary and I like the pink hair. This doll could have and should have been amazing...maybe different shades of pink, a sleeker ponytail, loose the logo on the skirt etc. Ty for the review and Happy Valentine's Day!!!💌
Ps... Your disappointed face is so cute on the video notification LOLZ!!😉
brian C aww haha thanks! Let’s see what we can do in the restyle. Happy Valentine’s Day! 💖
Great and honest review, Suresh! I would love to see a video on how you restyle this doll. I’m a bit lukewarm towards the doll also but will probably end up buying it simply because it’s her 60th anniversary.
Caroline B thanks! I’ll be sure to film the restyle 😬
Thank you nice video, I have always loved this doll and have finally found one to buy in my price range. I am picking up tomorrow and hopefully she will still be perfect in box, fingers crossed anyway. :)
Glad I could help!
Thanks for the review! You made me more confident in my decision to skip this one. I can't wait for the 60th barbie review. I commented before on how I was so hesitant and now shes sold out and super expensive second hand. I actually found her at wallmart for cheap so I did end up getting her(BF bought her 4 me
Yes, definitely pass on this girl.
That was a great review!!💖 Ok so now that I've seen a proper review on her I would have fallen in love with her if she wasn't hot pink. Also her hair would have looked better in a platinum blonde or brown. Her clutch is way cute love it, her boots would have looked amazing in black. Actually would love to see a re-styling of her. Thank you for a great review.
I love this doll got her the day she came out. I would definitely be interested in your restyle video. I have a fashion question does any of her ensemble recreate a 1959 fashion?
peter dunlap I’m glad you like her! And yes, I’ll be sure to film a restyle video. Regarding her fashion, I’m not sure what they were referencing for this look but nothing about it resembles her 1959 looks. Only the vague flip of her hair.
She's beautiful. Restyle would be great.
Anne Krofta I’ll be sure to film it!
I love this doll so much and it's all about pink.... Pink is my fave color. Love it!
Glad you love her!
I am usually pretty excited about most of the Silkstones, but I’m not going to be in a rush to get this one, it is a little too pink for me. I might get it though. I love your review as usual though, how detailed you are.
Analissa Blackwater oh thank you! And yeah don’t run to get her. Maybe just sachay over when you have the time 😛
Suresh NY 😆
Finally a Barbie review and LOVE 💗 this bright pink Barbie
Glad you like her ~
I don't mind velcro, she's going to be put on my wishlist, she does need a few changes, but she may be awhile until I get her. I'm glad you did the review, they really are making things so much cheaper but charging the same price. Its horrible what they think they can get away with, but we see the truth when you do the unboxings. Thank you, I hope you do more Silkstone unboxings soon!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the review. xoxo
Love to see you restyle her.
I like her and might get her if she's in stock again. I think the pink overload is fun for one doll
I'm glad you like her!
Love to see the restyle! Way too much pink!
Yes! I'd love to see a restyling video of her!
Will do my best to film it!
I think she is awful. Going to pass on getting her. She should have been fabulous. Your review was awesome as usual.
Scott Paquin I hear you Scott. My poor $75 😭
I agree. An almost overwhelming amount of pink. If you do decide to restyle her I'd definitely like to see a video of it.
Jimmy Morgan I’ll definitely film a restyle video 💙
@@SureshNYC Sweet!!😊
This doll is so stunning she is so pink!!!
Werrrrk feel the glamour in PINK awesome doll she’s a super Queen My first doll I bought recently wat Rainbow Bright Fashionista 90 fierce Rainbow 🌈 dress
I got this doll because well, I needed to have her just to say I did and she was on sale. I really This they could have given her a nice belt with a silver buckle just to break all that pink up and after all, she is a Silkstone. I like the brooch but I feel Mattel need to add a magnet to this kind of jewelry. I took the “leggings” off my doll added black hose and pink pumps just to break all that pink up. I also gave my doll a black ribbon bow on her hair to make her look more realistic. Thanks for the review, and especially the definitions of all the terminology. She really is a pretty doll once you separate all that pink.
I wasn't too swayed into the doll when photos were released and I agree with your review! I like the details of the doll and overall the pink look is charming! I would maybe get it one day. I'm waiting for a Barbie that is a must for me! So far it's been Hello Kitty Barbie! I do enjoy Puma black Barbie. She's a cute doll in pink!
Yea definitely! I, too, am waiting to be wow'd by something Barbie but I feel like every release is just meh. For my discerning taste, at least. xoxo
Yikes!! That is A LOT of pink!! The quality and details just seem to be missing?! For a $75 dollar price point I would expect more, and I’m with you I hate when the use Velcro! Really makes you appreciate the quality and amazing details that go into Integrity Toys fashions, jewelry, shoes and accessories. I think this doll has sold well because of the 60th Anniversary aspect of this release but I would have liked something a little more interesting than a head to toe pink doll. Here’s hoping there’s better releases ahead for Barbies 60th year! Thanks for another great review!
Agree with you totally! xoxo
I saw this doll today at a toy store, she's really beautiful but yeah, it's SUPER HYPER pink... I loved it anyway and I really wanna buy it, it even had a big discount 😍
Initially I was excited for Barbie's 60th but the lack of effort on Mattel's part put an end to my excitement. The Japenese exclusives are much nicer, I don't understand what they are playing at TBH. The only thing I like about this doll is the brooch. Great review!
They want us all to go to Japan, I guess...? xoxo
I love this doll because it was the cheapest silkstone barbie in my country, and plus it is a pink version of barbie, I couldn't ask for more. For the ones who customize dolls, you know every doll has the potential to make it to the next level and that's why I think our work it's more insteresting, so this doll is a good base to start.
I can't wait to start making her some clothes!
I agree with you it is long time since I buy a silkstone love the old one more!
I must watch that restyle!
I'll be sure to film it!
Love your bow and the whole suit it’s self I really want the doll because I rarely collect
Thanks!
The boots are everything. I like the pink hair, and dig the whole shocking pink moment.. but I agree that she needs a restyling.. I will loe a new take on her!!
She has potential!
I agree with you. I havnt been too crazy about the silkstone dolls lately either. Pretty but basic looking. I think it's time for a new direction for the silkstone line. Wouldnt it be nice for the line go from Old world fashion to a jaw dropping OUT OF THIS WORLD Fantasy fashion and makeup. Like a line called Princesses of the 7 continents. Have seven barbies representing the 7 continents with fashion inspired by the continents with a fantasy twist. That would be a seller! Thanks for your review by the way xoxo
What a great idea!!
I would have loved her if the shade of pink were different maybe something more light like cotton candy pink it would have been perfect💗
Ya that might have been better!
Wow I did not know the waist also twists. I thought it was just a seam or something, because it doesn't seem to twist and I'm afraid it might break. Thanks for showing us.
xila dabu my pleasure! Once you break the seal and make the first twist it moves easily after that.
Can you review the limited edition pink ice Barbie please
Yes please restyle her! I love her Balenciaga boots lol
u need a hug ikr they’d be fetch with the right look 👀
I love it all!! Love all the pink! Not the velcro!
I'd love to see you restyle her! 💖
I'll be sure to film it!
@@SureshNYC thanks! 😘
Agree it’s too much pink, & I love pink. I have what believe is a #2 from when I was little. I find this doll, as you also said, “disappointing”. Looking forward to the next unboxing. Thanks, Jan in SoCal
Oh wow what a treasure! xoxo
Suresh! I really like your barbie reviews,you're actually the best of the kind when it comes to a doll review 😂 Although I think you're a little bit picky,especially with this girl! She is amazing,the construction of the purse,the skirt,the fabrics..I know we as collectors always want more and more details,but I study fashion design and believe me; these pieces are so difficult to be made and crafted. The workers at mattel are superheros!! So we should consider that as well....
These pieces are not that hard to make. Mattel owns multiple factories and pioneered this type of work back in the day. If you look back at Barbie's history through the years, she had much more detail and intricacy in her clothes and accessories. Ruth Handler would die if she saw this. I studied fashion design, too, and worked in luxury fashion for years. This is not fashion. And this is a disgrace to the Barbie heritage, especially the Silkstone collection. That's why I'm being picky.
Shes so pretty
I have one too. I love her so much😍
Is silkstone hard?
Hello friend! Love the boots... but yes, too much pink!
Hi friend! Yes I think so too. I'll be restyling her for sure.
@@SureshNYC i can't wait to see her in her new outfit! Please shock us! 😎
I would LOVE to see the re-style of this doll... right now she is meh... I am sure you can make her shine. :)
Miriam Dara I’ll definitely film it!
Where is the restyling video! 😭💗
I like the hair, face and brooch.
I'm not a huge fan of the outfit.
Would you consider redressing her in a different fashionable pink outfit?
I'm hoping to! I've been thinking about it for a few days now. Let's see what I can come up with :)
I keep seeing an 11inch and 6inch listing. Did Mattel come out with 2 different versions?
Never heard of a 6in listing unless it’s some type of Hallmark keepsake ornament
@@SureshNYC glad it’s not just me scratching my head. Did they even make an ornament doll?
I have been buying Silk Stones from previous years lately, as the new collections are meh...plus the quality is frustrating for the price. Love your reviews as usual! Xox
Totally, me too actually.
I actually like her. She is sold out tho :( Does Mattel usually restock?
I'm sure they'll restock. There's 20,000 of her to go around. There's no way they sold through all that stock in such a short time.
Where do you buy your dolls?
I would like to see the restyling!
Mandi Rounds I’ll be sure to film it!
I wish they had done this in 50s style (like the "Think Pink" sequence in the movie _Funny Face_ ) with a pink bubblecut hairstyle. Temporary colored hair rinses were a fad in the 1950s.
Hi Suresh ... What is d height of Silkstone Barbie doll?
11.5 inches
What do you think of the rumor about no more Silkstones after this year?
Donna Cain I’ve pretty much been guessing that in many of my videos so can’t say I’m surprised 😔
would love to see your restyle
Lucia Scianname I’ll definitely film it!
I want that doll sooo bad. But they don’t make shippings to Mexico.
Uri Sangeado oh that’s too bad 🙁
You’re right it’s pink overload and the Velcro belt is disappointing for that price point...but the articulation, the brooch, the hair...I’m still tempted! 😭 lol
I mean she has redeeming qualities. Just not all together haha
Where did you buy it?
Please show the restyling you do!
Christian will do!
with moschino it works because it's taking something small and cute, nostalgic, typically " girly" etc and exaggerating it and subverting it to make it couture while still being self aware that it's absolutely kitsch - this def feels like it's going for that in reverse and not quite working
I totally agree. It looked great in Robert Best's sketches and in the promo photos that were retouched to death. IRL it falls flat and comes across cheap.
please film the re-styling of the pink Barbie,
Katjush Thompson I definitely will.
@@SureshNYC Thank you, looking forward to it.
Love love love the boots
Ya they're interesting...
i have been wondering about her...if get her or not...
I don't recommend her.
I'm curious to see the restyle!
I'll be sure to film it!
awww you never reviewed the Bratz collector. you said youll make a video once they came out.
Did I? I have been meaning to but haven't gotten a chance to yet.
Aww! I'm sorry you're disappointed. I think I would be too. I felt underwhelmed when I saw her pictures. It just seems all one note. But her face is very pretty. :)
Agree, agree!
I don't like Velcro either. But I don't really like all the print on the skirt either but would have liked it otherwise. I think I might have been ok with the logos on the lining rather than outside!
É tão rosa que me cegou, Nice video
It looks like she went to a thrift store and put on the first pink pieces she found,the hand bag and purse are the only things I really like about her
Hahaha aww poor Babs
SUPERBEMENT BELLE!!!!!👍❤💜bisous!!!!!
:)
OMG she is soo cute 😍❤️💕😘
what a cute butterfly
Butterfly???
@@SureshNYC two of your ties big and small like for dolls)
Very Pink.🎀🌸🤗
Miss Daisy ya! So very pink
I think they should’ve either thrown in some sort of silver or black or given her a natural hair color
Ya totally agree.
note to mattel: teenagers are not the target for this specific line of dolls, but bright monochrome outfits was all over the runways in 2018, then all over instagram. and barbie collectors tend to be people from +30 years old.
I got my mine just today and i was disappointed with the uneven and blurry face paint.🙁
George Pascual I mean I pretty much told you guys not to get her. So what did you expect 🤷🏽♂️
Restyle her ! I honestly want to get her only for the heel/tights for my fashion royalty dolls
Ya but don't pay $75 just for a pair of legging boots. Wait for her to go on sale.
She looks like Kitty Kay Sera 💖🌸💗🎀
Nina Richards omg! I just google’d her and she’s incredible! 😂😂🤣💖💜💖
I passed on this one mainly because it was just too monochrome. I had the same issue with the Chic City Suit in 2017, although in that instance, the blue outfit was less garish. I'm not sure why, but Proudly Pink makes me think more of playline Barbies than collector Barbies. Possibly, it's the excessive amount of pink - I'm always referring to the Barbie section in stores as the "Pepto-Bismol aisle" because of all the pink, pink, pink. And as for the velcro...! In a collector doll? That's really disappointing. Mattel takes (yet another) step down the quality ladder. I'm definitely looking forward to the restyling. I know you'll do a fantastic job!
Doesn't it seem like they're telling all their playline fans to come and get in the collector tub? As if our high price points mean nothing and our wish for quality means nothing. I'm all for democratizing Barbie but yea, this is just such a slap in the face for the collector community. xoxo
Glad I didn't get that doll. Honestly for me it was the eyebrows, they weren't traditional enough, especially since it's an anniversary doll. But that hair.... loved that hair.
Oh no. Just didn't excite me as much as I hoped. I love the silkstone dolls usually. But this one just didn't work. I do have the Verushka silkstone and I LOVE LOVE her.
Oh Verushka is faaaabulous and on a whole different level. Those were the Silkstone glory days!
Yaaas plz restyle her!!! 😭 take that hair down, I'm curious to see the length and style potential
CLARK WAHLBERG her hair is looong
thank you for Barbie on Valentine's Day ~ too bad Mattel didn't 'deliver' (boo hoo). Way too much pink and it doesn't appear to be Barbie's signature pink, either! I DEFINITELY want to see a Suresh restyle. You're awesome! xo
Aw thanks Nancy! Yes I'll be sure to film the restyle. xoxo
I want her but she’s soo expensive now 😢
They really need to make a Jackie Kennedy Barbie doll😭
I like the idea of a pink Silkstone, but the velcro turns me off. I like that the shoes are not fully plastic I guess, but like you said she is like the basic black one. This is why I'm sticking with East 59th from IT. Same era, but the articulation is better and the original Silkstone body clothes fit them.
Anthony I know-it’s definitely a miss. They could have gone in so many other directions 🤷🏽♂️
Please film the restyle!!!
Alejandro L I will!
