I am not sure if you know, but the designer for Barbie Looks, Bill Greening, also designed the Barbie Basics collection! Looks is considered by some to be the 'spiritual successor' to Basics! Just wanted to share this with you! :)

They're great! I love what Mattel is doing with faces and diversity these days. The new Live Action little Mermaid face is just gorgeous

As an adult doll collector THE LOOKS line speaks to me!!! I love how simple their outfits are throughout the entire line so far. As someone who loves minimalist style and fashion these outfits are beautiful. Perfect to mix and match with other dolls and can be easily dresses up with accessories.

Waves 1 & 2 of Barbie Looks have brand new face sculpts, whole original faces that debuted on these dolls specifically

I've been considering grabbing a Looks doll to model some of the deranged mid-90s Barbie fashion packs I have from childhood 😂 They're so beautiful and serious that I think they could pull them off.

There are also Barbie’s with flatter proportions and mixed body types like petit and curvy at once

Argh...in Canada, the blonde one is going for, I think, $90 now

The colour of the pants looks like rose, which is between red and magenta, tending a bit more to red.

They're so expensive here in my country lol. I bought two of the ones from the first wave for $40 each.

It’s actually pretty common for playline barbie to have different body types lol

In the sample set that I have collected, which has been quite a few... I haven't really observed that to be the case. I had... one curvy doll, one petite doll and one tall doll prior to this video among my 50 modern playline Barbies and that isn't from a lack of trying ^^;

@@xCanadensis at least, the fashionistas line is pretty good about it. I guess that and Barbie extra are the two that pop into my head. I think Barbie extra hasn’t been as good about it. Typically it’s curvy or regular Barbie that I’ve noticed.

I'm mostly into Extra. My only Petite prior to this was a Fashionista so that checks out. It's weird they don't do it more in Extra... I think it would be appreciated across the board? It's SO novel and exciting to have dolls from the same series that aren't all the exact same body- it's just unrealistic

@@xCanadensis yeah I’d agree. The diversity is what makes Barbie looks exciting to me too. I have alot of Barbie extra too, and I don’t know if they’ve done tall or petite?? And I’m also not sure if they have pivotal in those sizes just…in general.

@@Quietboywasted Not that I have seen: just regular and curvy Extras. Also, I don't think there is a pivotal in tall or petite, and I would love those, since I generally like the pivotal body better. Still, I grew up 40 years ago, so I am giddy with all the choices now, even it's not "perfect".

I am slowly unboxing this wave on my channel(I am uploading them slowly but I actually already got all of them out). I am surprised how much I liked 15 and 16. I even originally skipped 16 but she now may be my fave! I love the buff Ken sooooo much that I got 3 of him! :D I have all but two. I am so sad about the two I missed out on. They are all lovely and I will try to get the ones I missed out on. And I am not completionist collector! To me they are hands down the best Barbie line EVER. Like EVER. I am mtm fanatic, tho, so that may have something to do with it. :D You can not swap the shoes too easy since the tall and curvy dolls have bigger feet and so shoes. So they will not fit the shoes of the regular and petite.

I am all about articulation. I love made-to-move barbies. Those boxes will make really pretty risers they are such pretty boxes.

I have #16, which I got from Amazon Canada, and she also has darker knees. It is repeated problem that pops up on MTM dolls. I love the Looks line, and it's hard to choose a favourite. I think #14, #16, #11 (the redhead in the video), and #1 (the brunette Latina) are at the top for me.

My flight got delayed for 4 hours so this is exactly what I need ✨

I am definitely going to be getting #16. She's so so pretty! Fell in love with her the first time I saw her. I only have one Looks doll as of right now... but I see many in my future!

I've always thought the blonde doll was super pretty but I just realised she reminds me of Alison from Pretty Little Liars. Wonder if anyone else thinks the same?

I found #8 at TJ Maxx yesterday lol, I love her so much she’s so much fun to pose! But I want more haha

The Barbie looks dolls are almost perfect, I just wish they’d make the clothing pieces better quality instead of just cutting up patterns on the same two fabrics to throw on the dolls, at least the older Barbie basics lines had actual jean fabric and cute simple pieces that were more versatile, and it’s crazy how Barbies from 20 years ago are more fashionable than the ones they’re currently releasing, like the older lines kinda had a grown and chic quality to it, whereas the new fashions have a very cheap quality, which is annoying bc we know Mattel is capable of giving quality fashion bc they do it with those $100 Barbie style dolls, why can’t they do it with the basic Barbies they market to adults, mind you I’m pretty sure they’ve maintained the same designer so idkw got lost in translation but they need to go back to the drawing board

They can’t do it, keep the price low, and make the profit they want. So, this is what we get at this price point. If you want better clothes, it would be at least a $50 doll. To be fair to Mattel, things are different in the economy and production now than when the Basics dolls came out. How much were the Basics dolls? I wasn’t collecting then. The good thing is that people can now buy nice doll clothes on Etsy, so have a doll from Mattel and getting someone else to do the clothes wasn't an option 20 years ago.

@c.w.2000

You kind of answered your question: a made-to-move doll with several outfit pieces in deluxe packaging is now $100. So, a Looks doll in basic packaging with a nicer outfit would be around $50, I would guess. Many collectors buy these dolls and get clothes from Etsy, which wasn't an option 20 years ago.

I really hope we get a curvey with fantasy hair, looking forward to the possibilities 🎉.

I’m getting 14-16 from this wave, but I like think I will like #14 the best (I only have 15 and 16 so far). My faves from the whole line are probably #6 from wave one (the blonde with white dress) or #10 from the second wave. I didn’t think I liked this wave as much as the previous ones, but I’ll end up getting more from it than any of them!

I ordered 2 of the buff body Ken's on Feb 19th from Entertainment earth that I'm still waiting for. I'm waiting til next month to get the new tennis player on Amazon and I need the Brandon doll as well

I ordered 5 of the Looks Mix and Match doll, I’m thinking I’m going to really like her, but my current favorite is Looks #6 the tall blonde one. I wish it they would have some universal skin code so it would make head swapping easier for color matching.

I was not a fan of the bright color line but i may have to get the blonde. I have the wave 1 platinum and brunette. And the wave 2 red head. Honestly i love all the wave 1 and 2 dolls. I just have not gotten them all. I would love to if I find them for good prices. My little one likes the wave 1 platinum doll. I will see if she likes any of the bright color ones. She does like the boys/kens. Specifically the muscular body ones. So she may like the latest bright color muscular guy. She calls them daddy dolls. Ha ha. She loves her merman ken.

Hi Brooke, thanks for the tip I went to the store you suggested in your link and ordered the Buff doll No# 18 as they sold out everywhere else. I am a big fan of the dolls I have all of them now thanks to you and I also have the special one for members only still to come. I'm reviewing them on my channel as well. Have a great dolly day 💞🥂

I hope they arrive soon for the backorders! I am eager for mine as well but I'm glad my orders are in so I feel comfortable for now... Keep an eye on EE when a new Looks line drops... They usually put things in stock a bit late but once the stock comes in, it's pretty easy to get.

Since I first saw the made to move body I was off put by the joints (I wasn’t a fan of RH joints at the beginning either) but damn their poseability is out of this world! Definitely going to add some to my collection

I got the model 16 doll too and have change her clothes she still wears her shoes because I got no other shoes that fit on the larger feet of the curvy and tall dolls . The thing I most dislike is the curvy made to move body , it feels so bulky in the hand ... almost like an other dollline . I think at the moment to search at ebay for a normal or a tall made to move body for her . To be honest , Mattel releases too many made to move dolls with curvy bodies .... I got now at least 6 different curvy mtm dolls . The biggest shock for me was the Samantha Cristoforetti (NASA astronaut) doll , she's got a curvy mtm body but the real human Samantha looks more like a pettie woman . One other thing that makes me a little angry is that the Barbie Looks doll 19 is just a Mattel Creations exclusive doll that can only be buy with a subscribtion .... she looks great , but I will not buy her to support that new strategy of Mattel .

@@thisbeem2714 Sure , it's easy to buy for 20 - 35 Euro a new made to move doll just for the body ...... but what should I do with with the not needed curvy (I call it thick) body and the head of the new bought Barbie ? I have tried last year to sell not needed heads and bodies at ebay , even after weeks was most stuff not gone. In the case of the blonde Looks doll with the curls , the doll has cost me 34 Euro + 4 Euro for shipping ... a new normal body mtm doll would cost me at least 20 Euro + 4 Euro for shipping ....... that means to have a Barbie that I like would cost me at least 62 Euro , that are $67 I think that it's not bad that Mattel produces different bodytypes , but they should reduce the amount . In the case of the Barbie Looks dolls , 1 of 8 female dolls should be only with a curvy body instead 2 of 8 female dolls in a year .
