Exploring The Fashion Doll Iceberg

I more so collect baby dolls but I'm Definitely adding Little Apple dolls to my wish list omg. Super cool video!!!!!

This was the video I found your channel with, I have now binged all your videos within 2 weeks and I love them all you're so knowledgeable and sweet, I'm so glad I found your channel I never had dolls as a kid so learning about all this stuff I never got to experience has been so fun! Thank you!💜

Princess Guinevere/Starla and the Jewel Riders! Also Sailor Moon had dolls in the late 90s too. Sailor Moon branded

I wish Little Miss Fluffywuffy Princess Who Was Only Released in One Small Region of Albania For One Brief Summer in 1995 was a real doll

i love Diva starz AND beoth/living dead and monster high dolls most, so good. but also, groovy girls are the shit, too. love love love

IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND KAWAII CRUSH EVERYWHERE BUT COULDNT REMEMBER THE NAME TYSM

I mean, if you painted the Little Miss No-name blue, you could pass her off as a Savage Planet merch item...? Perhaps

Lalaloopsy could really be in the first tier (or top of 2nd tier)

I remember groovy girls!!!

All I remember about the whats her face dolls was how the inside of the wigs got super gross and sticky 😭

Hi! What do you think about dolls "Storytime Princess" frome MGA? This is amazing and cuties girls from 2007 and they look like mix Bratz and Disney princess dolls.

I have one of the cave club dolls and shes so cute i just dont understanding the marketing behind them 😭

seeing nancy dolls on here was a fucking TRIP. i had the nancy yacht and shit dude, that thing was awesome

Still so mad Living Dead Dolls are banned here… they look so cool😭

omg i LOVED the girlie pop trollz show it was soooo good

You saw the barbie movie right?

Aw, I was a little sad not to see Petra on here. She was a German 80s/90s Barbie competitor, and IMO much better quality than Steffie Love. Very interesting video! Great job from both you and the original iceberg maker. :)

Check out our dolls @ellasuperstarr

I love "what her face" I had the "cool" one and I loved her.

I would add Vogue's Jill, Ideal's Miss Revlon, Sailor Moon (more popular in Canada though, I think), and the Spice Girls (we definitely played with those things a lot).

I would put the 50s ones in maybe tier 4 or 5, and the other two in maybe 5 or 6 since they seem forgotten.

Oh, and Jamila! The Saudi Arabian doll. Probably in the bottom tier.

This was great. I'm pretty new to the concept of doll collecting, and I saw so many dolls I've never heard of! I was surprised to not see the Barbie Generation Girl line mentioned, since that was a personal favorite of mine growing up. Some characters even loosely inspiring some side characters in my book series. 😆

I didn't see Groovy Girls on here. Were they not considered fashion dolls? They were fabric dolls from Manhattan Toy company in the 2000s.

Cool video!
I loved betty spaghetti, betty spaghetti was the bomb

Watched from start to finish. The only lines i think should have been included is the Britney Spears doll line and the Spice Girls doll line. Both extremely successful. Great work on the video and you're very easy to listen too.

The hearts 4 hearts girls website was fun from what I remember.

This was bonkers 👏

I had Chixos as a little kid!! You would fuse the interchangeable parts by spraying them with a little spray bottle. Though mostly they were just good for chewing on lol

Hi there! Past Bratz Doll enthusiast/owner (from ages 7 to 12 years old in the early 2000's), as well as an ex Barbie dolls, My Scene dolls, Flava dolls, Polly Pocket dolls owner, as well as a few others, but more importantly - MILLENIAL, here! I owned many of the dolls mentioned in this video growing up, sadly all were donated by the time I was in my teens (r.i.p. to the ENTIRE Bratz Rock Angels collection I owned, and the cool color changing Barbie collection). But I noticed something mentioned here in this video that I must address.
I am a little less than 2 years away from being 30, and I definitely, vividly, remember the very annoying Betty Spaghetti commercials. I never owned any betty dolls, and never wanted to, but I know for a fact they were oddly popular despite how annoying the commercials for her were. I have a younger sister who is gen Z and she also remembers Betty Spaghetti and says she had friends that had Betty Spaghetti dolls. So I would assume it's safe to say that if theres any group of people telling you that they just "can't remember Betty Spaghetti" they either didn't have a TV, didn't have a TV with cartoon/kids stations/channels on it, OR they are most likely born after the 90's, cause thats the ONLY way I could imagine someone not knowing about that doll. The commercials ran almost daily, and this went on throughout the 2000's all the way up until I was in at least Jr. High, as they "re-vamped" her a few times.

I remember Peppermint Rose. My friend had a VHS where a girl named Rose was sent to this fantasy land to save it, becoming Peppermint Rose

I have a Cherry Merry Muffin :3 Got it from my uncle in the early nineties. I would also include the Paola Reina dolls in this iceberg, as well as the Gorjuss dolls. There's also a very cute line of tiny half-porcelain dolls dressed in Polish folk clothes made by de Agostini (there were also dolls wearing various other types of folk/historical fashion, Slavic in general or from other cultures, or even of real historical figures) and they are super cute. I don't know which tier they all belong to though. Somewhere in the middle, I think.

I remember seeing the zeenie dolls for sale on their website back in the day. I wanted them so bad but they were $40 which was too much for me.. did anyone ever buy them? I never hear about them.

I was waiting to see The Gurlz dolls. My little sister and I had three of them, but the one I remember best is Franika. They were alien-themed dolls that had battery features, and they reminded me of Betty Spaghetti! Does anyone else remember these?

My collection's lowest level doll: three Yue Sai Wa Wa versions. She's the height of a Tall Fashionista, and her clothes were very well made.

We also got some Candi dolls as Bettie Page.

Oh god I watched the hour and 20 min whole darn thing. Your voice is so calming and it was so interesting that there was so many I had never heard of. I am shocked that people don’t remember Betty Spaghetti. I LOVED our Betty spaghettis.

Pixidoos are kind of cute.

I’d never heard of them before but last Easter-candy sale I got an LOL OMG brand chocolate sphere with a surprise inside for 2.50. I was very curious what the surprise would be.
Turns out, a dried out marshmallow. The chocolate was worse than dollar store advent calendar chocolates too.

MY TWINN!!! For the longest time I have been trying to track down this brand! I remember getting the catalog in the mail as a child and wanting one SO bad, but as I recall, they were very expensive. Understandable, considering their bespoke nature, but a huge disappoint for 10-year-old me.

Fantastic video, by the way. What a great deep dive into all of these long-forgotten doll lines!

GOSH Lori dolls. I always thought they were some weird discount knockoff of an actually good small doll brand sold somewhere. A bookstore I used to work at had a HUGE selection of them and they were the most annoying thing ever. Their packaging sucked so hard that it couldn't be hung or be shelved, the boxes straight up fell apart, and the dolls just looked so cheap... The only thing they had going for them was the insane amount of outfits and accessories they had. Never saw a single one sold tbh even when they were on crazy markdown.

i had a my twinn as a child, it was scary as hell

Do Pinypon Dolls count as fashiosn dolls? They are from Spain and I LOVED them as a kid, I still have them on display. They are similar to Chixos, you can interchange their hair, face, top and bottom. They begun as all plastic, but overtime got some fabric items and a line with what i think was nylon or poly hair. I remember the playsets were AMAZING, and I believe they are still being produced. I'm from Latin America, they might be marketed towards hispanic countries only, which would be sad cause they're very cute. Also you can spin their head to change their faces like Legos :D

I have a Lina Zennie doll I got from Goodwill that someone obviously chopped the bangs off of. I love her but she cannot stand on her own and her head is pretty massive despite what it looks like in the promo photos

There's a type of doll I'm looking for if you could help me?

They were small 3-4 inch dolls from the 90's that had hair and proportions like barbie. But they had pop-up cardboard houses and landscapes? Been looking forever!

no Hot Toys, or other scaled realism 'dolls'? or is it because they are too realistic to be included as dolls? despite having removable fabric clothing.

They didn't have trixieville dolls, I loved those as a kid

OMG DIVA STARZ I HAD ONE OF THOSE
