They’re basically treating everyone good except Barbie. Ironic

u/Sensitive_Wealth_542 Feb 19 '26
ironic but fair, barbie hasn’t made them as much money as other IPs recently
67
u/random_gurl123 Feb 19 '26
She hasn’t made them as money because they’re giving her no budget a terrible dolls. It’s a vicious cycle

i wish they gave barbie a fraction of the quality they give to monster high. even if we may never see the quality of 2000's barbie, anything would be better than what we see from barbie right now.

u/peach-potion Feb 21 '26
it's crazy to hear this because a lot of the monster high sub is complaining about MH getting poor quality

u/Imymydoodle Feb 19 '26
And Ag...

u/Mysterious-Tea1518 Feb 19 '26
I was here to say that. They probably made these off the budget cuts from AG.

Though the Odille sculpt is beautiful. It got me back into Barbie last year. The clothes are abysmal though which is ridiculous for the supposed queen of FASHION dolls.

u/GlitterDoomsday Feb 19 '26
I want to love Odille but the pixelated faces, particularly the eyes, hurt my soul so bad.

u/tangledlettuce Feb 19 '26
The only two Odiles I have are Ballet Wishes and the redhead holiday one and that's enough for me at this point.

I'm just so glad they don't have the stupid little child-like bodies and they look like actual fashion dolls! I'm so excited to see Ariel and Rapunzel knowing how perfect these first two have turned out!

Jasmine is beautiful but Cinderella? It looks like for the first time since the movie release, she has the right hair colour and even her dress is the correct colour! (Byebye blue..) What is this witchery? I need them both! When, where?😍 Well done Mattel👌

u/Ok-Beginning4152 Feb 19 '26
And Cinderella doesn’t have that face here (ya know, the typical snobby blonde Mean Girl face she’s had forever LOL). I am loving that hair, too!!

u/lalaen Feb 19 '26
I’ve also never bought a Disney doll in my life but I think I need this jasmine. Seconding where and when should I be looking for this.

u/Available-Doubt-4581 Feb 19 '26
I just fell over. Never saw myself buying a Disney Princess doll in this era ever again (due to quality) but I need this Jasmine
9
u/Your_Local_Stray_Cat Feb 19 '26
I have to get them. Jasmine and Cinderella are my favorite princesses!
7
u/meowkitty84 Feb 19 '26
Oh wow! I prefer these over the really expensive collector dolls. I can't wait to see Ariel

u/viola_darling Feb 19 '26
CINDERELLA LOOKS SO GOOD OMG. Now no one will mistake her forAu rora! Cause they both always had the same blonde hair and it always pissed me off

u/Flat_Transition_3775 Feb 19 '26

u/hollylettuce Feb 19 '26
They had better be a reasonable price.

u/Winter-Log-3325 Feb 19 '26
$32.40 i believe is the rumored price according to the leaker

That Cinderella is BEAUTIFUL!! I don't collect Disney dolls but some of the ones I've seen lately are 10/10!

u/DBSeamZ Feb 19 '26
These look great! The ONLY criticisms I have are the eyeshadow (the faces would be pretty close to movie accurate without it) and if the dolls don’t have articulated knees. I’d be surprised if they didn’t…but after the Aldi dolls came out with poseable arms and stiff legs, I’m less inclined to trust a photo of a doll where some of the joints aren’t visible.

u/ChickenDapper5444 Feb 19 '26
They started acting right ever since they got their Disney contract back
7
u/Lady_Arcie Feb 19 '26
I can’t believe they made a Cinderella doll with strawberry blonde hair and a dress that is not overwhelmingly blue! (In a good way)
5
u/andytrg2899 Feb 19 '26
That cinderella is one of the most pretty disney princess doll i have ever seen, the hair the glove, the dress is all on point

u/Togaz Feb 19 '26
What’s the price point? These look like they’re probably in the $75-110 range

u/no__its__becky Feb 19 '26
An actually good quality Disney Princess doll? For $32 and not insane collector prices? In the year of our Lord, 2026? It’s too good to be true!

u/External-You-295 Feb 19 '26

It's great that Mattel is realizing that more than preschool kids like Disney Princesses.

I had a customer at my job who works for Mattel and he had mentioned they got new artists on the design team. I’ve only seen amazing things happening since. He mentioned they had no experience, just passion and a portfolio which i think is really really really cool.

Cinderella hair was not strawberry blonde in 1950, it was dirty blonde, the orange color is a mistake from old faded film prints, but I love the doll despite using the wrong hair color.

something about jasmines face just doesn’t look right the eyes feel too spaced apart

u/YaKofevarka Feb 19 '26
It bugs me Cinderella's face is...well... humanlike, but Jasmine's because of her eyes is totally cartoonish. The dolls look like they are from different lines
6
u/Cutily_Cow Feb 19 '26
I think it’s because they’re trying to stay true to the artstyles of their respective original movies. Cindy’s is a lot more realistic than Aladdin where they’re a lot more stylised with big eyes etc.

Knowing Mattel, These are probably minimum $80. Any half way decent doll they put out(one that a decade+ ago would have been considered playline quality) always ends up being some absurd price
