    I have mostly been a collector of Barbie for most of my life, and I appreciate the efforts made with these new Extra dolls...the Rainbow High and LOL OMG dolls still stand out, personally. Both these dolls cost about the same price, yet Belle here comes with high quality nylon hair, rooted eye lashes, TWO complete high quality outfits, including shoes and socks/stockings. As a collector, Rainbow High just stands out in terms of what you get from the amount you pay. I'd still like to find and get these new Extra dolls for sure, as I appreciate a good fashion doll. It's just crazy how Mattel fell behind so much in the doll market that MGA shook things up to make them show effort again. Growing up its weird to think about how Mattel dominated the doll market but now I think MGA has taken over in terms of cost with quantity and quality and even presentation! I still love Barbie, but I feel like MGA is giving us collectors what we've wanted for a long time.

It's cool that more adults are showing interest in mass produced toys for kids, but there is such a thing as adult collector dolls, like Integrity Toys. Mattel is a business, they are trying to appeal to kids, while not upsetting the parents who actually pay for the doll, but aren't collector's themselves.

    I literally asked for Bella for Christmas, but I feel so tempted to doll hunt for her because my mom orders gifts last second sometimes and I'm scared of Bella selling out. And I don't think that the Barbie Extra dolls are copying LOL OMG because they come with pets rather than extra accessories. The inclusion of pets that match the dolls is definitely a Mattel thing. And their fashions are a great improvement other modern Barbie clothes, so I'm glad to see Mattel stepping up their quality with the Barbie Extra line.

    We needed this Barbie Extra and Bella Parker comparison! I do hope other doll youtubers do this as well. MGA’s playline dolls even since bratz era until now, are very consistent with current fashion and QUALITY; their playline dolls are collector quality than expensive barbie collector dolls with cheap fabric and bland looking. Everything on Bella Parker or RH was on point-you get what you paid for. With Barbie Extra, your just paying for that “look” and Mattel’s “catching up”.

    I am glad now that I haven't got into Rainbow High now, I fear that the amount of dolls coming out is too much. If there was a line of dolls maybe with just the outfit the doll is wearing and that's it. I know lots of people will hate me for throwing shade on RH but I don't collect Barbie either, I have MH, EAH dolls and Wild's Heart Crew. My main love was my pedigree Sindy dolls (I live in the UK so Sindy was my doll of childhood) the majority of which I rerooted and made different outfits to set them in different scenes. I don't collect every doll that comes out, I don't blame those that do nor do I want every doll anyway. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
    Edit: Having said all that, Bella is the better buy. Sorry Barbie.

    No offense to the barbie styling staff but I think they should look at what's trending for kids/teens now, because MGA's doll clothes are more modern and in the know of fashion trends that are on instagram and tiktok, where as the clothes for the barbie extra line looks like what would be trending in 2015. Still cute tho.

      Oh I totally didn’t mean any heat on this line. I am so happy that Barbie is doing something cool like this. And I want them to keep doing it. I just wish there were more of a price difference between the two lines, because that’s what’s going to cause people to make the choice. And because of that people aren’t going to buy Barbie. And that hurts me. I think they’re two completely different dolls, and not everyone likes the size and scale Of the rainbow high dolls. Some people are just really traditional Barbie collectors and they would really love to have dolls with this kind of quality of clothing and forward-looking fashions. But if this line doesn’t succeed, we won’t get that. So I think they should lower the price maybe to $21.

    Unpopular opinion here: Rainbow High face (the same face time and time again) creeps me out despite all the clothes and praised style and stuff. Barbie Extra however, is the second Barbie with "Millie closed mouth" face mold thatI loved immediately (although I disliked this mold for a long time). MGA has huge fanbase and they don't need my money and I don't need things I dislike on my doll shelf. So Barbie Extra it is.

    I don't know much about (women's) fashion, but I feel like Mattel are sleeping on the hyped fashion trends. Like, even their BMR1959 dolls feature cool fits but it's nothing one would really see anybody wear.
    With RH I can look at their fits and go instantly "yeah, I've seen this trending on Insta" or "I remember seeing similar fits advertised by H&M/Zara etc.". And the comparison to H&M and Zara isn't even that bad here because RH do kind of a similar thing as those stores do with High Fashion: mimicking it.
    Generally, I feel like Mattel are out of touch with every aspect of what makes a doll a good doll. They intentionally slept on things they could've improved a long time ago and now they're half-heartedly trying to catch up, or just don't know how to do it.

    @naoornever7456 Před 3 lety +1

    A lot of people have been complaining about quality issues with the Rainbow High dolls, wonky eyes, frayed fabrics etc. I think that's important because the price point feels off. The Rainbow High dolls should be in the 30 to 34.99 $. So unless they have a way smaller profit margin than is normal with fashion dolls (which they could afford with what they're raking in with the small LOLs and OMGs), I think they're cutting corners somewhere. Most likely in production facilities. Of course most people shopping for kids will go for the doll that comes with the most stuff at the best price, and I don't think Mattel will be able to match it.

    This Barbie's "Extra Extra like OMG" gotta be meant to compete with them. Barbie's done a playline with articulation and layered clothing before, Barbie Style, but that ended years ago. Competition's good because it forces Mattel to make better playline fashion dolls than the fashionistas. Extra is a little tacky IMO, while Rainbow High is more cohesively dressed with an additional outfit and useful accessories. I'd buy both for myself, but RH is definitely more for your money.

The Barbie Extra dolls look cool and love the furry coats and her hair style and colour is cool and the unicorn pig is cute. Looking forward to getting series two of the Rainbow High dolls and cool there is a boy doll in the series. Bella is a beautiful doll her hair is amazing and has a pretty outfit and the diamond style earrings and pearls on her jacket and shoes are amazing. Washing there hair works well to remove the gel especially on Amaya and Skyler as they had heaps of gel in their hair. Looking forward to getting her. They are both beautiful dolls but think you get much more for your money with the Rainbow High dolls, and the outfit you put together looks awesome. Love your review 😍💖
