    It makes no sense to me that MGA sent these to adult collectors with a predominantly adult audience. Did they really think that we were going to like this rebrand? 😭 gurlll

      I was thinking the same thing! They want to appeal more to younger kids but have sent PR to adult doll collectors whose audience, I imagine, are the majority other adult doll collectors.

      @atdrago8347 There’s definitely valid arguments for both sides, and I do see your point. I’m just confused by their marketing since sending these to adult influencers is a risky decision if none of them have anything positive to say. Luckily for MGA, Melissa didn’t go too hard on them in this video, but I could easily imagine that a string of negative reviews from adult collectors could potentially fuel a hate train before these dolls even appear on shelves. So I guess my question would be: why would MGA take that risk of these dolls being publicly trashed if they aren’t targeting adult collectors in the first place? I might be mistaken, but I think there’s plenty of different doll influencers who target a much younger audience who could review these dolls. That being said, I do love Melissa’s reviews and I’d watch anything she puts out, so definitely no shade to her, it’s just MGA and their decision making that has me a lil confused, lol.

      I think they're trying to appeal to the adult audience more. Meanwhile, all of this stuff was originally designed for the kids and we, adults, need to respect that. We adults always say, 'A child needs to stay in a child's place,' but look at how we destroy their "spaces".

    Rainbow High had been my number 1 line since it’s release, and unfortunately this line and destruction of the brand has killed off my interest for them. I get that us adult collectors are not their primary audience, but the high fashion and amazing quality was what made Rainbow High stand out imo. They put the FASHION back in mainline fashion dolls. Reverting back to this 2018 slime gimmick just seems SO reductive to me, and now they’re basically just doing what Mattel has been doing, but years too late. If they also do the Mattel thing where they throw out a single doll in the original style a couple of times a year but mark it up to $70-$100 just to squeeze money out of the former adult fans, that will just seal the deal for me. Sadly, I think I’ve graduated from Rainbow High if this is the permanent direction.

  • @kelleypopelar3162

    Honestly most doll lines don’t ever focus group the teen young adult or adult collectors and despite the fact that we actually make up a very significant percentage of consumers we don’t usually get recognition either. Pr boxes most often are send to adults not children. I think we deserve more from these companies. Children usually don’t buy their own dolls it’s us buying for them or giving as gifts.

    On the upside, it will be much easier to catch up on the RH and SH dolls previously released. It’s been impossible to keep up with them as they just kept releasing new waves. Now, with the line going this way, I’ll eventually catch up! Not into the slime gimmicks. Will I buy the new dolls? A few, if only for the clothes.

    They may have started this way, but it didn't go well, and that was why they changed in my opinion. Many parents won't want their kids playing with slime because it's so messy; and regardless of what testing they did, they left out that lots of kids like beautiful clothes and being able to do more with their dolls. I think this rebrand is a very bad decision and this will probably break the brand. Just my opinion and all respect to those who don't agree with me. I'm done with RH unless they come out with some more collector type dolls :(

    As an adult collector I really wish there were more lines of dolls specifically for collectors. Not the occasional collectors edition dolls (that are usually pretty pricy), but full doll lines specifically made with collectors in mind. I love collecting pretty dolls to display and pose and dress up, but most dolls for children are not the quality nor style Im looking for, which is why I love rainbow high. I just want more affordable dolls that are made FOR collectors.

    I have mixed feelings about the rebrands of Rainbow High and OMG Tweens/LOL, which is also being retooled for younger customers. Dolls were coming out so fast and there was so much pressure to buy what you wanted as soon as it appeared, esp given supply-chain issues and dolls sometimes disappearing from stores without warning (I hated buying them online and not being able to check the faces first). It was sucking the fun out of the hobby. Now that the golden age is coming to an end, I have my collection and know it's probably not going to grow anymore. I can just enjoy what I have. But it is sad that two such amazing doll lines, that were so detailed and high-quality, couldn't keep it up.

    I know kids and adults who both LOVED how they were. Also loved the show including myself. To exclude half the audience and half the consumers is insane. As an adult rainbow high collector and toy collector in general, I loved poopsie I hated the slime but loved the figures. I just don’t like messy throw away gimmicks. I threw slime at the ceiling as a kid behind my mom’s back and ruined the ceiling and she yelled at me. I never was allowed to have it again. Even as a pre teen. my mom wouldn’t have bought anything with slime so this would have been a product my mom would have told me NO. Not buying that. There is so many other sensory toys that aren’t waist full or messy that they could add? I can see this turning people off as poopsie did to begin with. Most people hated Poopsie. Lol

      Ok, just to say, I'm not trying to be rude to you at all. But I feel like you not being allowed to have slime is just a you/your family problem. Also the slime part of these new dolls is completely optional(I think). But I agree, there is definitely better ways to add stuff for a less messy and more fun playability(ok now i'm just making up words). I also don't know why they went back to poopsie seeing as literally nobody asked for the reboot. If it was a money issue then maybe don't release the dolls as often so collectors would be able to buy them more.(there are other alternatives as well, but maybe taking feedback from their consumers would be a good start)

It’s messy especially not being already pre made, waistful cause u use it a couple times and it’s gross and goes in the garbage.

      ​@@TabbysDollsyeeaahh this slime issue is not an isolated one... happened to me as a little one too and slime got forever banned in the house. Not because my parents were evil about it but because i was extremely immature about it and it stuck and stained literally everywhere. Its safe to say that pretty much every kid would be just as equally irresponsible with slime too. Thankfully now that im an adult, i get to enjoy slime while still being mature enough to know how to not get it on the walls, ceiling, and furniture. Today i got a crunchy pink slime that smells like candy! I wash my hands before handling so that i trap as little dirt in it as possible, i take the slime out of the jar, and i squeeze, stretch, pop, and crunch it in my hands for complete sensory bliss... i noticed a few minutes ago after playing that it seems to start to lose its starchiness when it gets warm in my hands (this is how even good quality slimes will end up sticking to things instead of itself...like my skin, for example) so i just put it away. Tbh giving slimes to little kids, as amazing and fun and stimulating as it can be, will often be a disaster waiting to happen. I wouldnt have even trusted myself as a teen with this stuff...so i absolutely share the sentiment of parents not wanting their kids to own slime.

Probably would have been a better route to have made a new line of dolls on this order (minus the glitter faces and slime) and continued the adult collector line as it was or even on a slightly more limited release basis. Once you elevate the quality of a product brand and suddenly cheapen it you are asking for trouble.

    My personal theory on Poppy’s disappearance, based mostly on rumors going around the community - I saw a rumor that the doll company Poppy Parker threatened legal action, and that makes so much sense to me. With Poppy, it’s not just the fact that she’s been discontinued going forward, but it seems like all her dolls currently available have suddenly been pulled from shelves. I know there was a rumor that WalMart employees were pulling her dolls from shelves and throwing them away, which would only make sense if they were no longer able to distribute them at all. I’m gutted because I hadn’t bought her runway doll yet. I definitely could be wrong but with the way she’s become totally unavailable, this theory really makes sense.

Shadow High is my comfort doll line, and the Storm Twins are my comfort characters, and despite not normally being a completionist, I have a complete SH collection with 36 SH dolls including 3 sets of Storm Twins and a custom doll car that I made of the Storm Twins' Jeep. I also have 20 RH dolls. I loved SH/RH the way that they were.
    This Rebrand has been so heartbreaking for me and has literally made me a bit depressed. I intensely dislike the Rebrand so much that I will be filling in the gaps of my current RH collection and buying SH duplicates rather than supporting the Rebrand dolls. I also hate that Amaya is in RH Series 6 instead of Poppy. And I heard that Poppy isn't officially canceled, so I'm sure that she'll probably get dolls in future lines.🖤💜

    I kind of really like them. The base dolls are cute and I am sad about the wrist joint being gone and some of the outfits BUT I actually love Amaya and Sunny. I love their faces and makeup

    The very fact you just said "Retcon all of this" and made ~that reference, made my whole day.
    Plus, you're right. This isn't what we're used to but they couldn't do the same thing forever and y'know - I've never cared before on what's age appropriate, I'm not gonna start now 😂😂😂 these are cute! Hopefully some new characters will come and we can do some creative things with these guys ❤️❤️❤️ thank you for the video ♥️♥️♥️

      I hate slime! Every toy is slime anymore I think these dolls are beautiful as the others but pretty much the same they all got long sticky hair Skyler is always my favorite but I don't understand why they can't style these dolls hair and make them shorter cuts or layers my favorite is their big colorful glass eyes which are so real looking and I hope that never changes cause in the beginning the big dolls only had painted eyes thank you!

      @@deborahkelsey7923 I totally agree with the hair, I do enjoy washing and restyling them, but I'd much rather not have to wash out a whole bunch of gell in the process lol
      Also, yeah, I think I'd probably just not to the slime, I feel the same about that. I used to love the poopsie creatures but washing out the slime from inside them was a nightmare 🤬❤️❤️❤️

    I'm slowly starting to like rainbow high. Initially I hated the dolls with a passion because they seemed to replace monster high dolls on shelves of every major retailer, but now after seeing so many cute designs and variants, I'm slowly leaning towards starting to collect them. I know its inevitable but I'll eventually get there in collecting them

    I like this review a lot it was very fair and added a lot of context I had no idea about... As someone that buys the family dollar rainbow high which doesn't even have elbow or knee articulated I think these are still really cool and ultimately it's not an adult that's the target audience so it's nice for the kids to get things they want... But that glitter is gonna be a big problem... They should try charms or like the bigger Boba things next time easier to clean

    No slime in my house. I wish the fashions were interchangeable. My daughter has wanted the closet and the Jet with the dress , the dress form and sewing machine but every time they would sell out fast. The clothes don't fit the dolls except the Jounior high Ruby.
    For her birthday next week I saved a Jet doll I got new in box from a collector and the new doll with the fabric, work table.

    After watching this video last night, i saw all these new RH dolls at my local Target today. They're cute in person but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to get them. Not into slime or the limited articulations.
    Also I watched the other you mentioned in this video, gave me a bit of a chuckle..🤪🤪🤪

    I think MGA ran out of ideas and said let's just bring rainbow poopsie surprise back. The slime doesn't belong with a fashion doll. I'm getting flashbacks to the slime clothing from the poopsie surprise dolls that rainbow high branched from.

    @ChewingGore Před 6 měsíci +9

    I’m so upset. If they’re getting rid of wrist articulation than I’m sadly not going to collect them anymore. I’m also very anti-slime (autistic, it makes me very upset). It’s a shame because I loved rainbow high.

    Thank you for the review. It’s kinda depressing how this is happening-but I understand that it’s for the kids. It has been wonderful 3 years of collecting. I have completed these original 14” Rainbow Poopsie doll in my collection. Maybe I will buy the Rainbow World as fanfare to end my collection, but not too sure. Maybe there will be a way I can be creative to customize them… using glitter to be mixed with the glue to paint the bags, shoes and the figurines inside (not outside) ..I think it will be more fun to do than using the slime. Just a thought. Since there was last three white dolls to color the clothes or their hair…I think painting them with glue to be mixed with glitter can be cool idea. 😍😍

    Poppy IS definitely NOT gone. I was wondering why some people are so making a HUGE deal out of her disappearance and just vent their frustrations over Amaya. So if Poppy disappears and Bella, or Krystal or any other characters subbed for her. Surely they will spread the hatred on whoever will replace her for this line. We are actually hoping that there were A LOT of characters in this line and MGA could just randomize any 6 of them and put a new line. But since SOME PEOPLE are soooooo~ Ican'tevensaytheirstateofmindsanymoreyoudecide. As they wanted OG Girls to appears as they were for all eternity. (Don't get me wrong, I love Rainbow High and I love the characters).
    Hope we can have a more open minded on accepting changes on things, as we have to understand that "Things Change". At some point, I have the same opinion as you that these were not the Fashion Dolls a Collector can collect anymore. But still looks forward on collecting by getting their outfits, I DO love Skyler like totally!, I like Amaya the best for this line. Hope we can refrain ourselves from spreading too much hate on her, move on and collect or not collect dolls we don't like.

    Poppy Rowan is my favorite and I collect all the orange themed RH dolls.

This rebrand honestly doesn’t bother me. I like it, too!

    It’s the slime part that turns me off and loss of wrists. Poor Amya they love her so much but can’t get her right. Yes if the want glitter on the skin then they need less and more of a glow less glitter everywhere explosion. I’m glad though that they kept the stand. The pets and crystals are fine and don’t bother me… I will miss the accessories and the storytelling opportunities that they gave. I’m happy to stick with MonsterHigh

    I have one hand with dimples because i have a disability called hemiparesis: weakness or the inability to move on one side of the body, making it hard to perform everyday activities like eating or dressing. One-sided weakness in your arms, hands, face, chest, legs or feet can cause: Loss of balance... so because of that my leg and hand are smaller in size so i have dimples on that hand even i am 37 yo... they started to disapear but i dont mind... it was just a fun fact. I dont mind dimples on humans but on dolls i think they are weird... lol

  • @Exzactly414
    @Exzactly414 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Not all kids love slime. A few years ago, when I was still "really a kid“ and there was already slime starting to become trendy I already didn’t like it. A friend of mine had a small slime collection and I wasn’t very interested in it. Luckily I knew what to give her as a birthday present: some packs of glitter toy slime. That was nice. :)
    One day I won some packs of slime on the yearmarket and tried them out.
    I personally didn’t like it. It was stinky (like chemicals) and felt like old melted cheese. Luckily the packaging was nice. But other than that I have never really liked slime… 😅
