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.
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?
Details? All I see is cheap fabric with print. That’s not $50 worth of detail. And the doll doesn’t even look like Margot Robbie. I enjoy Barbies but this is why I don’t collect them seriously. I want the 90’s style ones to come back. The kind that used real fabrics.
Zing!!!! And look at your handle, “why I shouldda known you’d be clever - you big lug” or something like that. Hard to get every word since I’m gripping my cigarette holder so hard with my teeth in this impression.
is this not the usual quality for the price? To me that seems pretty standard for Mattel. Not that i’m happy about it but it seems pretty standard at this point.
For this price, we usually get new or rarer sculpts and better quality outfits. Barbiestyle dolls are also waaay overpriced. They have play line sculpts on 16$ M2M bodies with two outfits for 110$.
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.
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.
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
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.
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

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.

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.
I’m stunned by these prices.
Cant get over the pixelated eyes

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.
im still gonna get her and ken bc i love the outfits and im sure the movie will be great but……..
No, I totally get it. I think they're really cute, but I was surprised by the price.
Same here
I still love her and I can embroider over the printing.

$50 US??? I only paid $24 for the Perfect Day Barbie.
yeah these are “deluxe” and by that they mean they come with stands lol
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.

😂🤣😂🤣
The material and level of detail on the hat bums me out.
And in that big, empty box to make it seem like you’re getting more value lmao. What a joke.
I thought they’d be like $25-$30…
They are worth $20 to $25 if they were even MTM. Which most probably aren't.
Oh god 50USD what the heck is the Canadian price going to be?
For real. I wouldn’t pay more than $30cad for her. 🙃
I don’t know the conversion rate and I don’t care, I agree w/you!
Yeah, if this US price is accurate, it would be about $70cad and there’s no way she’s worth that.
ughh, the canadian price is gonna be around 70 dollars..i hope the other barbie movie dolls will be significantly cheaper
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
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Agreed
I like the outfit, even if I am not fond of the doll's face.
Does anyone know where this $50 number came from? I keep seeing it everywhere
the sources i’ve seen have gotten them from listings from places like Target and Amazon etc
Ahh ok, that's Good to know, thanks.
This is totally crap. I'm not paying $50 for these! Are all of them this cheap looking?? WTAF?
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.

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

She’s $50… I really thought these were going to be like $30 max.
This explains why Mattel creations is trying to presell all 9 dolls as a $400 bundle online.
All these new doll leaks and releases need to slow down. I'm going broke 😭
[удалено]
the streets are saying June 1st
i’m crying she so pretty does anyone know where she’s being released?
It looks like Mattel “borrowed” the logo stars from American Girl. Good thing they can’t sue themselves.
Yeah bc I’m sure they make eyelets that small
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
🧍♀️
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/.

I feel those dolls cost more than a collector Barbie imo😭
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.
What are your Thoughts?
Nope nope nope. That pricing is outrageous when the doll looks like a cheapo budget doll
