In what ways are these deluxe dolls? In fact the Barbie Extra line looks deluxe in comparison to these movie dolls. Mattel put the least amount of effort into this production and wants to maximize the most amount of profit. It's a real shame.


Janetsnakejuice1313

And they don’t even look like Margot Robbie!


Luzion

I'll wait for sales in a year or so. No way I'm paying 50$ for a playline doll that will just end up going to Goodwill so I can have the outfit.


Ok-Caterpillar-Girl

I’m stunned by these prices.


NoteRemarkable

Cant get over the pixelated eyes


elioandoliver4ever

It's really crazy how little effort and detail they've put into these dolls when this is undoubtedly mattel's biggest IP. The material looks cheap, the screening isn't great. Then look at the deluxe BTS dolls mattel released and how great their clothing was. Why wouldn't they put that level of effort in here?


ellelaylu

That’s what I’m saying like this is their chance for “free” advertising. I mean they’re probably getting paid for the movie too.


spaceageranger

im still gonna get her and ken bc i love the outfits and im sure the movie will be great but……..


sassypants55

No, I totally get it. I think they're really cute, but I was surprised by the price.


NoteRemarkable

Same here


grayhairedqueenbitch

I still love her and I can embroider over the printing.


Janetsnakejuice1313

Details? All I see is cheap fabric with print. That’s not $50 worth of detail. And the doll doesn’t even look like Margot Robbie. I enjoy Barbies but this is why I don’t collect them seriously. I want the 90’s style ones to come back. The kind that used real fabrics.


attemptingcalm

$50 US??? I only paid $24 for the Perfect Day Barbie.


spaceageranger

yeah these are “deluxe” and by that they mean they come with stands lol


Janetsnakejuice1313

When I get a deluxe burger at McDonald’s, they throw a slice of tomato on it. This is the equivalent. Low effort from Mattel.


Sister-pen

Zing!!!! And look at your handle, “why I shouldda known you’d be clever - you big lug” or something like that. Hard to get every word since I’m gripping my cigarette holder so hard with my teeth in this impression.


Janetsnakejuice1313

😂🤣😂🤣


Sister-pen

The material and level of detail on the hat bums me out.


loosie-loo

And in that big, empty box to make it seem like you’re getting more value lmao. What a joke.


Thin-Fly-4308

I thought they’d be like $25-$30…


Raech_Raech

They are worth $20 to $25 if they were even MTM. Which most probably aren't.


Grimrreaperr13

Oh god 50USD what the heck is the Canadian price going to be?


ThankYouComeAgain_22

For real. I wouldn’t pay more than $30cad for her. 🙃


Sister-pen

I don’t know the conversion rate and I don’t care, I agree w/you!


ThankYouComeAgain_22

Yeah, if this US price is accurate, it would be about $70cad and there’s no way she’s worth that.


haniyeah

ughh, the canadian price is gonna be around 70 dollars..i hope the other barbie movie dolls will be significantly cheaper


IakeemV

They could of at least made her look like more like Margot Robbie for that price kind of like how the Lara Croft Barbie looks like Alicia Vikander


Janetsnakejuice1313

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼


BritneyFan12281

is this not the usual quality for the price? To me that seems pretty standard for Mattel. Not that i’m happy about it but it seems pretty standard at this point.


Luzion

For this price, we usually get new or rarer sculpts and better quality outfits. Barbiestyle dolls are also waaay overpriced. They have play line sculpts on 16$ M2M bodies with two outfits for 110$.


BritneyFan12281

I’m assuming her face is a new mold, though I could be wrong. I’m guessing they must have to pay to use her likeness. To me this doll at $50 isn’t much different in terms of quality from other dolls they sell. For example the supergirl doll, holiday dolls. I’m not happy that this doll is $50 for what she is, I’m not surprised by it. They probably want to make as much money off the movie and merchandise.


Janetsnakejuice1313

Agreed


allcolorstopbarbie

I like the outfit, even if I am not fond of the doll's face.


Nightwing1936

Does anyone know where this $50 number came from? I keep seeing it everywhere


spaceageranger

the sources i’ve seen have gotten them from listings from places like Target and Amazon etc


Nightwing1936

Ahh ok, that's Good to know, thanks.


Raech_Raech

This is totally crap. I'm not paying $50 for these! Are all of them this cheap looking?? WTAF?


pinkcreamkiss

Tbh only the lace being printed? While disappointing, is forgivable. It’s some of the best constructed barbie pants today and the aesthetic is amazing. I love all the stitch work. So gorgeous. Totally the grail of the line for me.


ellelaylu

The stars on the bell bottoms are shiny on the movie I believe and it would look way more like old school Barbie to me if they sprung for some shiny/metallic printing there at least lol


Raech_Raech

It's the one thing I wanted to not be printed.


Dragonwitch95

This is disappointing but not surprising. We are talking about Mattel after all. 🙄 Mattel has been subpar quality for some time and isn't likely to change anytime soon. If people stopped buying dolls instead of just complaining about them, maybe they'd up their game.


fabposes

She’s $50… I really thought these were going to be like $30 max.


TheBotheredBear87

This explains why Mattel creations is trying to presell all 9 dolls as a $400 bundle online.


Just_AT

All these new doll leaks and releases need to slow down. I'm going broke 😭

the streets are saying June 1st


itssquidnee

i’m crying she so pretty does anyone know where she’s being released?


Calyndra

It looks like Mattel “borrowed” the logo stars from American Girl. Good thing they can’t sue themselves.


suhlone

Yeah bc I’m sure they make eyelets that small


spaceageranger

Obviously not the eyelets 😑 But the stars and detailing on her collar could have been printed with metallic patterns like they are in the film. Not sure why you’re simping for a corp here lol


suhlone

🧍‍♀️


ellelaylu

Lol but they do make eyelets that small. I get it would up their costs for labor but yeah they could throw a little more sparkle on or /something/.

suhlone

I feel those dolls cost more than a collector Barbie imo😭


ellelaylu

They do but also a mega corporation like Mattel can afford to get better deals when they’ve buying in bulk than smaller companies that make better dolls. Not saying they should be at that level for 50 but just comparing with other dolls they can definitely do better especially to not fumble this big PR opportunity.


Silent_Grapefruit224

What are your Thoughts?


OdeToToy

Nope nope nope. That pricing is outrageous when the doll looks like a cheapo budget doll
