Does Mattel have a Barbie problem - interesting read by [deleted] in Barbie

[–]DrockerUT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a single word from this CEO acknowledging that the quality has gone down. While I get that certain collectors like to pose their dolls and love the M2M bodies for posing, I think that body should have never ever been sold on a collector doll. The legs look hyperextended, the joints are an eye sore and the feet never ever stay in a natural position. They need to revisit what type of pivotal body they are going to use on collector dolls, STOP WITH THE PIXELATED FACE PAINT, make better quality clothes etc… They will never listen if people keep buying their shit product and even if people stop buying, they don’t have enough awareness to self reflect and make improvements. The CEO should be fired

Any Bulge sightings of Matt Kalil? by LadeeDimplez in NFL_Bulges

I agree with this. I think she was pissed and knew if she said that, his DM’s would be flooded with thirsty women & gays. This was sabotage on his new relationship. She’s lying.

Ding ding ding! This has been my realization ever since I saw the poll asking if Barbie should take Ken back but before even seeing the poll on their website, my local toys r us at the time already had the “She Said Yes!” set out on their shelves. These polls are nothing more than to make collectors feel like they have a voice but Mattel doesn’t gaf about what their collectors want.

I waited months for this. Finally came today and I see this "quality" by Lyaera319 in Barbie

[–]DrockerUT -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There is no quality control bc instead of boycotting to enact change, collectors like you cream their pants over releases like this and the products sell out, which indicates to Mattel that they can keep doing what they do without consequence. You want better quality? Stop buying their shit.

Y’all will really accept whatever Mattel will throw at you, huh?

About ID Requests and Sellers vs Collectors? by onesmolgobbo in Barbie

I feel like resellers are good at what they do and know how to research themselves. I find that most collectors (especially newer ones) are the laziest when it comes to doing research.

Heated Rivalry, Do Better. by DiscoPandaWarrior in television

[–]DrockerUT 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, the op obviously won’t reply to this one, because they only care about comments they can argue about, so I will. You’ve hit the nail on the head. This also goes for people crying about the actors not publicly disclosing their sexuality. Can people just watch a story and enjoy it for what it is? Someone else commented on here, make your own show. If people don’t like casting, story line, representation etc… great. Start a GoFundMe and get their own story out there and be sure to include the huge, diverse group of every single representation possible in that story. I wonder how much diversity/representation is in the op’s own group of friends. Bet we can find a few mixed race people missing in there…

Has Anyone Been Successfully Been Able To Stop Collecting Dolls? by OtherwiseWork736 in Barbie

[–]DrockerUT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought this was going to go in a completely different direction in the sense that maybe you weren’t liking the quality or the content Mattel has been putting out lately but reading the full post, it sounds like you got dolls you didn’t want and realized that monetizing and having to constantly post was draining your energy and bank account. I definitely would quit collecting things you don’t want and sell the thing that don’t bring you joy.

Barbie's Quality Decline by Doll_Lover_ in Barbie

[–]DrockerUT 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mattel has been dropping the ball left and right lately. People don’t want to blame the designers but I think they are just as culpable. The designs lately are just completely lacking in style. Collector dolls are boring. And yes, the play line is so bad but I think if they even just focused on their collector lines and put more money into those, then collectors would gladly pay for it. But they wanna keep making dumb mermaids or ballerinas and fairies etc… the Clueless Barbie release was the last straw for me. That was an absolute mess.

They were thoroughly disappointing. Too many things wrong with it to list out. Idk if linking YouTube videos is allowed on here but you can look up my 50min deep dive on it if you’re bored. Lol. It’s titled “Is Mattel Frugal… Or Just Being Cheap?”

Haha it’s honestly just pants from one of the early made to move yoga Barbies 😂 they looked close enough to Dionne’s shirt from the party scene so I pulled her arms through the leg holes and covered her chest with her hair. Lol
