a fun fact about these is that they maintained the authenticity of real vlogs by leaving all the videos unscripted and recording with motion capture. so barbie technically qualifies as one of the very first vtubers.

from the moment that ryuchell publicly stopped identifying as a man, they faced an incredible amount of public backlash, hate, and harrassment. they tried to be an advocate and to use their platform to support the community, and died for it.

it's interesting how much stuff in the trailer- barbie's arched "fashion feet", the abundance of pink, a defined relationship with ken- are things mattel intentionally tried to distance Barbie from in the past few years. genuinely kinda surprised they signed off on this movie.

I was trying to point my finger on why I wasn't vibing with this. but tbh I think it's just too much. so much flipping and spinning and animation that's directly in your face. no lingering on any details of the outfit?? which kinda totally deflates the hype of a transformation.

there's a lot of contention over what exactly "vintage" means in relation to barbies, but if you want a genuine 1959 barbie, you're probably not gonna find her on ebay. you'll have to contact a collector directly or look into auction houses.

not every barbie who has the classic face mold is vintage. the fashion model collection from 2000- 2020 uses that mold. mattel also reproduced the swimsuit barbie specifically several times over the years, and generally they're not worth more than $40-60, with a few exceptions.
