It's not just you- I think everyone is disappointed that it's just one piece. I love that they are using vintage designer head sculpts. Karl may be overused, but this Looks doll was the first Karl in my budget until I found the Tooth Fairy at Marshall's. She is one of my favorite sculpts. I felt sorry for the Ken: looks like a high school gym coach, like, a guy who failed at some great athletic career then had to resort to teaching to have anything to do with his sport :P The Exclusive doll is my favorite - so stunning! I don't have membership, so I bought her nude for $30, free shipping off a resale site. I sew clothes, so I wasn't so disappointed in not getting her outfits/accessories. In a group recently, someone asked what we wish Mattel would bring back/ what we missed, and this video really highlights a major difference: outfits. Unless you get at Extra or a playset, most dolls come with the bare minimum: shoes and a one piece clothing item. That Generation Girl - vest, shirt, dungarees, 2 pair shoes, a chair, backpack, dress, detailed makeup kit with curlers, a phone, and bottled water - came with an insane amount of items compared to most dolls today. Outfits with layers, pieces you can mix and match, plus accessories that are actually for the doll not a cartoonish, odd sized "pet". Some kids only get one doll, and of course, there's always the first doll, so the more items with the doll the more ways the person can play with it.
OMG!! I had Nichelle when I was 10 or 11 💛💛💛 She was such a cool doll with cool accessories and 2nd outfit . This was the beginning of the end of the best of Barbie in my opinion. So nice of your friend to send you wonderful gifts 🎁 Thanks for sharing 👍
Lina is my favourite from this wave, too! Love the gifts from Steve! (Especially Nichelle!) Since this wave has bold colours, I hope they do pastel colours next! Great video!
I love that they added a new body type for Looks male dolls. I also want to see Broad and Slim male bodies in the Made-To-Move format. However, I definitely think that all the Made-To-Move body sculpts could use some fine-tuning. The knees on most of the body types should have all the gaps reduced when the leg is in the extended position. Those gaps don't offer any additional articulation, and they're just unsightly. I also think that the ankles need to be refined, so that there is a smoother transition from the ankle to the foot, especially on the Curvy body. Similar refinements to the elbows and wrists would be nice, but the legs really need attention. They could probably also tweak the rotator joints at the shoulders and hips as well, but those generally don't look too bad. And I wouldn't mind seeing a new joint at the top of the pelvic bone, so that the torso can move a little more. Right now these bodies are very stiff torsos with very flexible limbs, and there are often poses I'd like to create that the bodies can't achieve. I'm also a bit disappointed with the range of motion of #18/Tate's body type. I don't like that his legs can't raise up higher, so he can sit up straight. He can't even sit with his spine at a 90° angle to his legs. And his elbows and knees have a double joint, but the bulk of his muscles impedes some of that movement, they don't offer much more articulation than a single joint. I don't mind the larger feet on this body, and I think the Broad and Slim bodies should have feet sized to those bodies as well. But that means we need SHOES for all these body types. Honestly, Mattel knows we're all crazy about shoes, and the fact that they don't regularly offer shoe paks is just insane to me. Shoes are super cheap to produce, the markup on them is insane. They're really leaving money on the table. For that matter, Chinese sellers on Amazon could fill this void, and it's odd to me that they don't. I am really liking the new Lina. Her top would be called a 'body blouse' because it incorporates leotard/bodysuit construction, but is intended to be worn as a blouse, with a skirt or pants. I of course had to boilwash mine, so her hair lays nice and flat, and I paired the yellow halter with the aqua pants. Not sure if I'll keep her like that, but I love that she came with additional garments. Of this assortment, I think my favorite is #17/Brandon. I like them all though. I really love #16/Andra and #14/Elle. I gave the new Andra a very Barbie And The Rockers aesthetic, her makeup and hair really seemed to want to go in that direction. And because we now have multiples of several face sculpts, I decided to rename them. #1/Lina and #19/Lina have become Angelina and Carolina. #2/Elle and #14/Elle have become Gabrielle and Danielle, #6/Victoria and #13/Victoria have become Tori and Vicky, and #8/Andra and #16 Andra have become Alexandra and Cassandra. I also decided that #15/Karl is "Karla". I'm really looking forward to seeing new sculpts in this line, and some old favorites.
Yaa, it's annoying that most of the fashions on the new wave of looks are sewn together! I guess if that's what they had to do to keep the costs down 🤷♀️...much love friend.
The Barbie Fashionistas that matches Model #13 are the 2015 Raquelle Fashionista with the red and black floral dress, Denim and Dots, Nice in Nautical, Fashionista 79, and Fashionista 88.
Asos is mostly accessories and shoes - we have local shops here in Denmark as well. Usually it's Americans who get all the doll stuff in stores, and those of us in the EU miss out ;)
I cracked up when you kept pumping his hand when you made that comment lmao. I made on of the buffs a captain of a yacht with a integrity white nylon jacket, a captains hat, a white Speedo with rainbow back , white flat shoes and he holds a champagne bottle
Barbie looks 19 immediately reminded me of a young Elizabeth Taylor. So much so that I call her Cleopatra 🥰 She's actually my favorite Barbie in a while!
I got Gym Tate today, a little bit of wonky eyes too, but I don't mind at all. My favorite part is that his hands are perfect for holding the wheel in Barbie vehicles.
I understand where you're coming from when you talked about #18’s feet. However, a lot of past Ken shoes (and Shadow High male shoes) fit him perfectly.
I have had this doll for a couple years ( naked of course) and I had no clue who she was until now. It’s her hair that just gave her away, i love 💕 this doll,I got her 2nd hand and she is one of my favorites but I didn’t know who she was. Nichelle 🎉
I’m glad you like the Tate head, I got him and am hesitant too unbox him but he’s the closest thing I have to a collector doll atm. I have the new smiling Ken unboxed though lol, he’s cute. I like the petite girl in cotton candy too, she’d look so good in a makeover (fashion avenue style) lol 👗
Thrilled to see your take on the Looks line. I love them too and yes, I buy multiples for body donors. Your Nichelle kit was so comprehensive: unbelievable how much you got in one kit! As usual I learn something new from you: New Neutra. Did not know this skin tone was called that and I have dolls eagerly awaiting donors for this skin tone.
Barbie looks 19 has a lot of Persian and Egyptian influences, so it’s safe to say she is meant to racially look like she is from that part of the world.
I agree with what you said about Karl. I would prefer to have MOTM Nichelle, Daria, Marisa or Mermaid in Looks line instead of Karl. I can´t wait to see what headsculpts will Holiday AA, Asian and redhead have. :) I still believe in Nichelle 1990 sculpt for AA. :D
The pink shirt from the Looks Giftset that has an attached bottom is called a bodysuit. I would recommend using action figure/GI Joes shoes for the new buff guy. The shoes from the BTS dolls will fit the buff guy as well.
They’re yellow this year with a tied over the shoulder cape. They also have silver star detail over the yellow mesh. They’re alright, I guess.. I wouldn’t get my hopes up.
Love #19! Wish the outfits for the others were all two pieces and maybe the color scheme was a bit more cohesive across this wave. Would have been cool to be able to mix and match between the dolls. I think #14 is the only other wave 3 female with two pieces.
My criticism of the new buff body is he can’t touch his face easily, it’s even more confusing because the original version can. And the molded on underwear being so high ofc.
My favorite is the new body ken and I’d like to see more looks in general lol I love these dolls so much and they’re my main dolls for collecting Barbie with them I wouldn’t collect much of Barbie I will say I hope they slow down lol I unfortunately can’t afford them I only have two from the metallic collection and have a lot of catching up to do which is made harder every time they release a new wave lol
Как русская, пошла смотреть на Лину.. 😂 Вообще среди русских есть как люди с тёмными волосами и загорелой кожей, так и светлокожие блондины) Виктория с таким же успехом могла подойти на роль русской) Про албанцев не знаю) Вообще, среди российских коллекционеров сложилось мнение, что Лина похожа на латиноамериканку! Многим она напоминает Дженнифер Лопес))
I hope they do this body on a African American ken and he not be the light skinned one or the dark skinned One, but somewhere in between I Hope They do a Curvy ken made to move ken also and my god… please stop making the fake underwear on the waist … please stop this!!!
I hope more blonde and blue eyed Barbies get created they’re rare you may think I sound like a clown but what I mean is literally nowadays it seems like blonde blue eyed Barbies are almost exclusive to Millie. And it was really nice to See Andra be the Barbie look without being Millie
I have almost the entire Generation girl collection. i don't have all the my room collection but everything else . i have at least 1 of every character doll . that Nichelle, i think the yellow emblem is 3 slices of pizza . i also have the school .
Steve’s video: m.czcams.com/video/CTmQOHnon-4/video.html
Glad you loved all the stuff, thanks for all mine too 😍
That was funny " A white girl with black hair, they do exist"!😅 I think to me she looks a little Asian. Loved the video, thanks.

What is the name of #18 ken please ???
I'm screaming at the doll holding the hot Cheeto bag at the end LMFAO that's sooooo cute 😂😂❤️

what annoys me about the buff ken is that his leg barely bend in siting pose
Amaazing! I would be definitly intrested if mattel used the old fashionistas body on the modern fashionista line,
I cracked up when you kept pumping his hand when you made that comment lmao. I made on of the buffs a captain of a yacht with a integrity white nylon jacket, a captains hat, a white Speedo with rainbow back , white flat shoes and he holds a champagne bottle
👍😂😂😂😂
I think the Victoria face sculpt is really pretty and she look better with the longer hair.
Barbie looks 19 immediately reminded me of a young Elizabeth Taylor. So much so that I call her Cleopatra 🥰 She's actually my favorite Barbie in a while!

# 19 She is Croatian and I love her!!!
love the looks dolls. reminds me of the basics line. another line i wish never ended
I have had this doll for a couple years ( naked of course) and I had no clue who she was until now. It’s her hair that just gave her away, i love 💕 this doll,I got her 2nd hand and she is one of my favorites but I didn’t know who she was. Nichelle 🎉

The SPEED with which I clicked on this video ☺
Seriously, #19 looks like Jenna Ortega. With that black hair and pale skin, I see a lot of Wednesday Addams cosplays. 😊
I wish I could find these awesome vintage Barbies!! Great vid.
Excellent 🎉😊❤🌸
I love the Asha sculpt
Hi! Glad to see your collection
Barbie looks 19 has a lot of Persian and Egyptian influences, so it’s safe to say she is meant to racially look like she is from that part of the world.
Hmm I’m now just realizing
My Looks #19 deluxe has a lip overpaint😅. Makes her upper lip way fuller. It looks pretty cool!
I agree, the Karl sculpt is over-used.
I like the Mackie face more.
The term you’re looking for regarding Lina’s pink piece is a bodysuit!
I agree with what you said about Karl. I would prefer to have MOTM Nichelle, Daria, Marisa or Mermaid in Looks line instead of Karl. I can´t wait to see what headsculpts will Holiday AA, Asian and redhead have. :) I still believe in Nichelle 1990 sculpt for AA. :D

Now all we need is more mtm ken skin tones.. In those sizes you mentioned and buff.. Then take my money
I have purchased like 10 of the buff kens and giving my other kens with hair some major muscles
It would be awesome to get some more muscular Barbies and some less muscular kens tbh they would probably be my new favorites
1/6 scale shoes and outfits fit muscular Ken perfectly
DAD BOD MADE TO MOVE IN ALL SHADES!!!!! Make it happen lol. 💵
The Ken is giving Kameron Michaels.
since you have seen the leaked photos of the holiday Barbies this year, can you tell us if the gowns are better this time or still lackluster?
They’re yellow this year with a tied over the shoulder cape. They also have silver star detail over the yellow mesh. They’re alright, I guess.. I wouldn’t get my hopes up.
I think the last is mixed asian caucasian. The christie doll is beautiful. You should check her out
Integrity male shoes work the best on buff ken
Love #19! Wish the outfits for the others were all two pieces and maybe the color scheme was a bit more cohesive across this wave. Would have been cool to be able to mix and match between the dolls. I think #14 is the only other wave 3 female with two pieces.
Oh and l would love a blonde Claudette sculpt in the Barbie Looks line. Cannot afford the only blonde Claudette l have seen.
Разве Клодетт блондинка? 😳
Та, которая с фиолетовыми волосами? Из серии BMR? 🤔
My criticism of the new buff body is he can’t touch his face easily, it’s even more confusing because the original version can. And the molded on underwear being so high ofc.
My favorite is the new body ken and I’d like to see more looks in general lol I love these dolls so much and they’re my main dolls for collecting Barbie with them I wouldn’t collect much of Barbie I will say I hope they slow down lol I unfortunately can’t afford them I only have two from the metallic collection and have a lot of catching up to do which is made harder every time they release a new wave lol
Nichelle is so pretty omg
The looks Leena sculpt looks very Eastern European. Like Russian or Albanian with the pale skin and dark hair.
Как русская, пошла смотреть на Лину.. 😂
Вообще среди русских есть как люди с тёмными волосами и загорелой кожей, так и светлокожие блондины) Виктория с таким же успехом могла подойти на роль русской)
Про албанцев не знаю)
Вообще, среди российских коллекционеров сложилось мнение, что Лина похожа на латиноамериканку! Многим она напоминает Дженнифер Лопес))
I've seen number 19 as maybe Arabic, or at least that's what my one will be
Big feet means bigger meat. I’m loving the feet size
Stop crying lol
😍🔥🧡🎈🔥😍
Just don't bend too much the knees of looks 18, i feel like he's going to break his knees if you bend it fully.
the outfit where horrible this wave. Thank God the dolls where good.
I hope they do this body on a African American ken and he not be the light skinned one or the dark skinned
One, but somewhere in between I
Hope
They do a
Curvy ken made to move ken also and my god… please stop making the fake underwear on the waist … please stop this!!!
I love Andra the most I made her skinny and she literally stole the number 5 spot in my doll collection
Вы пересадили последнюю Андру на худое тело?
I hope more blonde and blue eyed Barbies get created they’re rare you may think I sound like a clown but what I mean is literally nowadays it seems like blonde blue eyed Barbies are almost exclusive to Millie. And it was really nice to See Andra be the Barbie look without being Millie
there is a self care blonde Barbie with a puppy and a spa set that used the Olivia headsculpt with a Millie screening and she is absolutely gorgeous!
@@ericgalabay7729 just searched her and she is cute. And doesn’t look pixelated
I’m glad exclusive 19 was the exclusive because I love my Lina way more and there isn’t anything I like about 19 especially the fact that she’s tall
I have almost the entire Generation girl collection. i don't have all the my room collection but everything else . i have at least 1 of every character doll .
that Nichelle, i think the yellow emblem is 3 slices of pizza . i also have the school .
