Quote from: Zapper on February 27, 2019, 09:22:37 AMBack on topic, I do think it is an unpopular opinion elsewhere:I think boy characters in toylines geared towards girls are often so lame looking. Like the Barbie Fashionistas get all those Forever 21 Instagramchic colorful cuts but the Kens are repeating the same old shirt and pants pattern. Why would I want a male doll like that as a kid? Why would I want more than one?When characters are fantasy, I abhor how the males always look more grounded/earthy. I have been going on and on about how I dislike how G4 ponies are mostly three colors and brown with short, ugly manes and tails. But you can see than stuff elsewhere, too.It's like toy companies are constantly afraid of Tinky Winky syndrome, the teletubby who had a handbag and had parents in shambles because they thought he was gay.I agree, male characters in girl toy-lines are often disappointing. Even the Monster High guys (who were better designed than the usual 'token boys') didn't have such exciting and detailed clothing as the ghouls. And other doll lines are just hopeless. I have always found it frustrating when the girls all have nylon hair and most of the boys have plastic hair.One of the reasons I like the Mountain Boys and Big Brothers so much is because they are brightly coloured boy ponies with lovely long hair. I wish G4 had gone down that root instead of sludgy colours and troll hair.

My apologies if we already have one.I'm not a doll and human figure type of person. They have to be really interesting looking or a character I really like. Even as a little girl I felt the same way. I have a few now though.I love Rainbowbrite, and I understand that yarn hair is a key feature, but I hate it. I wish they'd make a line with regular hair alongside it.I like weird or wildly colored dinos.I hate chibified toys.I'm sick and tired of toytoons/game toys with a traditionally big cast being pared down to a few ad nasuem. Perennial favorites are fine, but variety is appreciated and wanted.
Barbie and Ken get fashion outfits, but Skipper, Stacie, and Chelsea don’t. Why can’t Mattel make fashion packs for them so that I don’t have to keep buying multiple dolls just for the outfits.

They want to sell more of the individual dolls that's why they don't have fashions.

I have a Vanessa doll, but she came in a deluxe Disney set a few years ago, I have seen her being sold as a single doll for lots of money, though. Demand is high, I think Disney should re-release her!

Demand is high, I think Disney should re-release her! The one problem with Disney's marketing team is that they almost always ignore the sequels later down the line. Twenty years later and I'm still waiting for a proper Zira plushie, as are many Lion King fans
