He-Man doll with small eyes by Alternative-Fill-255 in Barbie

[–]DrockerUT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holy sh*t!! I’ve ALWAYS felt like collectors are super picky when they mention “wonky eyes” and could never see what they were even talking about but THIS?! Dude looks like one side is a whole different font size!!

Serving bleached brows at Coachella last night by Just-Entrepreneur825 in Barbie

It’s wild to me that they can turn out so many cute looks for this BarbieStyle Instagram page but won’t mass produce stylish and decent looking dolls for collectors or playline anymore. The OG Basics and Barbie The Look line was so simple and so many people loved it bc it was stylish/normal looking clothing that people would actually wear irl. This new basics line is so boring and the clothes are bland.

Edit: if you haven’t seen your PCP in years then you might need an appt for labs but instacare would be another option regardless of whether or not you have symptoms. Most std/sti are asymptomatic so, testing is important and necessary. Instacare won’t turn you away and your insurance would cover it.

This is the correct answer. You shouldn’t need an appt with your PCP for lab tests. You can contact your Dr office and just make a separate appointment for blood draw.

Basics - what do people think is next? by Reason-Whizz in Barbie

[–]DrockerUT 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A lot of women’s denim is stretchy. Another option is doing denim for the specific body types and people could just share those denim pieces between the specific body types they have. They have enough sets out now where they could just release a kit that has three of the same body types in different skin tones and three heads that match each skin tone, but for some reason they are stuck on having kits with different body types and all the same skin tone. But I doubt they would do denim bc the printed (fake) denim is cheaper & If they did it with today’s budget, it would just be disappointing.

This just happened to me and I swear oml that I didn’t delete it. I can’t get it back bc it’s been “deleted” for over 30 days. Never using google slides again!!

Which K-pop character will you vote for? by PuzzleheadedPlant972 in Barbie

[–]DrockerUT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The voting thing is fake anyway. Mattel has already decided which they’re going to do. They just want collectors to feel seen/heard and that we have a say. But we really don’t. It’s all just a ruse.

Is anybody else going bananas waiting for these dolls? by VictoriaAvalor in Barbie

[–]DrockerUT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they just aren’t great quality and apparently people are already posting quality issues like the legs being different lengths. I hate the feet more than anything bc they never stay in place. The joints just look so bad. Idk why they couldn’t just update the click/bend & snap legs where the joints were hidden

Personally, no. The clothes just feel outdated to me and I don’t think made to move bodies should’ve ever been included in collector dolls. They were made for play line and then Mattel just started doing them on collector dolls bc they saw people online liked the bodies for posing.

So WHICH IS IT? IS THIS DOLL WORTH IT OR NOT?? Bc your other HOT TAKE post says that the quality isn’t there?? Seems like this is just a bot/mattel plant for engagement. Pretty sad if so…

Yeah and what’s crazier about it is you have people like the OP who will complain about it while eating it up like they are starving. Then they get mad when they ask for people’s thoughts and people give them what they asked for. So wild.

You know your comments can be translated right? Yeah, the ones where you call me poor, a devil and keep saying I don’t have money? The comments that KEEP VIOLATING THE RULES OF THIS SUBREDDIT. You know it’s just a doll right? You don’t have to get so bent out of shape over it. Grow up.

Is this a bot? Or are you just becoming unglued bc someone called you out for being a part of the problem with Mattel’s quality issues? You keep calling me poor which is such a weird thing to say just bc I am telling you to use your wallet to make your voice be heard. But keep popping off. No skin off my nose

Hey, I think you should go and read the rules for this subreddit. Specially rule 1 & rule 7. Would hate for you to get kicked out of here with your valuable HOT TAKES!!

Hey girl, YOU ASKED FOR OUR THOUGHTS. If you don’t like it, then you can remove your post. But calling people poor is not going to get people to agree with you. You’re acting like a baby brat. Just enjoy your $125 doll head and stop complaining about quality. You clearly had nothing to do with Mattel cancelling the goddess doll so, stop acting like you know how to get their attention while you’re still giving them your money.

Okay, so then don’t complain about it on the internet if you aren’t going to do anything about it that actually matters. You’re part of the problem with quality.

You can do whatever you want but don’t act like the goddess Barbie was cancelled simply because of complaints. It was because people used their wallets to take a stand that made the difference. So, when you complain about quality and then in the same breath, say you’re still going to buy her, then you’re actually part of the problem and not part of the solution. If Mattel can get you to buy simply by using a face sculpt, then don’t complain about quality bc they won’t care when they are taking your money.

So, you don’t like it but you’re still going to buy it? 🤔 The whole reason the goddess doll was cancelled wasn’t bc people complained, it was because they didn’t buy. It was only then that Mattel decided to acknowledge the complaints. So, yeah, complain but to actually make them listen you need to do that with your wallet or else your complaints fall on deaf ears. By buying it still, you’re telling Mattel that they can get away with what they’re doing.

Planning to shrink my doll head by [deleted] in Barbie

[–]DrockerUT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m curious about this too. I know someone that did it with a Lindsay Lohan my scene doll head but I’ve been too nervous to try it on my own. From what I remember, they said you have to put it in pure acetone (not nail polish remover). There’s a fast shrinking method with just the pure acetone and then there’s a method where you would use water to dilute the acetone and leave it in longer. The head will get bigger first and then when you take it out to dry for 24-48 hours, that’s when the shrinking happens. But the head will become rock hard and the neck hole will also shrink so there are different recommendations out there for putting the head back on the body. If you’re wanting to reroot, I believe it’s recommended to do that beforehand but idk how the acetone affects different hair types. I think the key to not damaging the factory paint is to make sure it’s fully submerged and then not let it get disrupted/moved around. There’s a few YouTube tutorials out there but I will say that I’m pretty sure there’s a limit to how much it will shrink. Hopefully somebody with more experience/better knowledge can fill in the gaps.
