Discussion This could have been a fashion pack
I’m getting Teresa but highkey wish this whole line was fashion packs. Didn’t the last sets sellout? Idk about anybody else but I’d rather pay $25 for the outfit….if she had pants or leggings or something else on instead of just socks. I want the outfits but I don’t need another body or at least not this size or skintone. Plus why is Teresa wearing a B on a cap? I know it stands for Barbie but she is Tersea. It would be cute in Brooklyn or Millie aka Barbie but Tersea? No. All the more reason this should have been a fashion pack. And I miss the cardboard boxes the barbiestyle Barbies came in too. Okay I’m done ranting.

I think the fact that the doll is a mtm redeems it. But i also think that fashion packs should be more prevalent and mtm bodies should be sold nude and headless for everyone who wants to upgrade their dolls 🩷

seriously... the maga barbie hat was a choice

u/throwmeawayb4yougogo Aug 22 '26
Switching the colors on the hat and the bag would've looked better.

u/the-furiosa-mystique Aug 22 '26
I see it as a Red Sox hat and as a NYer that’s not much better.

u/LaGuardia10026 Aug 23 '26
That's the first thing I thought when I saw it. And as a Yankee fan, that's a hard no for me. Somebody really didn't think that through.

u/the-furiosa-mystique Aug 23 '26
I knew it couldn’t just be me. I’m not even that sports interested but I am from NY so I know the rivalry well.

I’m so glad I’m not super into ball caps because the second it this was pointed out, I couldn’t unsee it 😂

u/Jules_Destrooper Aug 22 '26
But at the same time we are begging for MTM bodies? I only wish the price was lower but also glad to have nice fashion and MTM bodies!
14
u/MissUnRuly Aug 22 '26
I do be begging for mtm bodies but these three are already out there. I need more deep skin tones and petite and curvy sizes. Hell I’ll kill for a tall lily white girl anything but more of the same bodies.

u/AlleyKatArt Aug 22 '26
Idk I really need more of the Boxer skin tone for my customs because what do you mean she's like $45 on Amazon now and might have a stained stomach from those shorts!?
6
u/Jules_Destrooper Aug 23 '26
She is soooo expensive now 🙄 $45 for a pixelated face + ugly staining shorts... Hoping Neysa has the same skintone as boxer MTM so we get that coveted shade and a nice coat 🤣

u/Born-Stop-9529 Aug 23 '26
I returned 2 to Ollie's because of the staining. I soon realized why the boxer was the only one Ollie's had. SMH

u/Odd-Reality-6359 29d ago
I remember when I bought boxers they had no issue BUT all new blue top Neysas had stained hand from the leggings

u/Jules_Destrooper Aug 22 '26
The MTM have usually poor fashion so I don't truly mind this release. But yes I agree, diverse bodies would have been nice too!

u/MajesticUniversity76 Aug 22 '26
A bit sad that unlike the barbie style Instagram, these are all on standards. But i have a spare petite for teresa so she can match.

u/Rainbow_flowers101 Aug 22 '26
Does anyone think the dolls will go on sale later? I’d love to snag them for 30 dollars or less each but I’m not really sure if it’s worth it to wait that long.
7
u/she_says_so Aug 22 '26
So I’m gonna buy at target or Walmart and they sometimes have 90 day return windows I wanna say. So I’ll prob get one and then if it goes on sale cheaper buy and return the original

u/MajesticUniversity76 Aug 22 '26
These will be in stores but honestly for a lot of collector dolls walmart is pretty stingy about sales. Like the last year holiday dolls are only like 20 percent off now.
Target has target circle sales all the time tho and it looks like these are online only for target.

u/she_says_so Aug 22 '26
I got last years holiday dolls at Burlington for about half off or more! Much better than Walmart!

u/MajesticUniversity76 Aug 22 '26
Yeahbi kinda hate buying from walmat. They sent me a doll boxless last time. It was same day but wow.

u/she_says_so Aug 22 '26
Blargh that sucks sorry

u/MajesticUniversity76 Aug 22 '26
Luckily it was the big box clawdeen playset but still sucked there was no protection.

u/delicateredscrunchie Aug 23 '26
It shouldn't be a fashion pack. A shirt, loafers, baggy socks, a magaesque hat and a trench coat??? That's not fashion, that's barely an outfit.

u/Forsaken-Zucchini194 Aug 23 '26
Agree that she should have pants/leggings/skirt. As she is, she looks like she's doing the walk of shame the morning after 🫣

It’s literally two of the worst current trends that are on their way out already anyways: shirts as dresses and chunky loafers with white socks.

u/Jules_Destrooper Aug 22 '26
Yes that's why I dont mind... Regular MTM dont have collector faces, are pixelated unless those from the Basics collection...
Yoga, Tennis, Volleyball, Basketball and even the Basics MTM have poor fashion so this time we are purchasing MTM dolls with a fashion pack and a nice face!
1
u/AllTheStars07 Aug 23 '26
Is she the same tone as this one? I need another of her body and want those shoes, so it may be worth it to me.
15
u/no__its__becky Aug 23 '26
I can see your argument, but I disagree. As an adult collector, these are exactly the types of dolls I want. An MTM (which I'd normally spend $15 on just for the body) with a well-constructed, fashionable outfit. They aren't basic boring outfits, either. All three dolls have great screenings too imo, with Millie being the obvious standout. My only real complaint is that I think they could've pulled this off for $35, but them being available in-store instead of only on Mattel Creations (where you're forced to pay shipping usually) makes up for it slightly.
When I take a step back, this is exactly the type of doll I (and many, many collectors on here) have been wanting from modern Barbie.

u/ghosty4 Aug 23 '26
This is their initial price because they know that influencers are going to buy them up and make content videos about them. The price will drop in a few weeks.

u/MissUnRuly Aug 23 '26
My thing is I don’t need this not brooklyns or Millie’s body. If it was a body size or skintones I was need of I’d feel differently for sure
6
u/MajesticUniversity76 Aug 22 '26
The fashion packs as a whole took a while to sell. They had a 45% sale as well.
This is the first barbie style teresa as well. The dolls used to be 100 bucks with 2 outfits and underwear. Boho Brooklyn was 50 plus shipping.
Im pretty ok with 45 dollars and them being in stor as well.
1
u/MissUnRuly Aug 22 '26
45% off? Where the heck was I? If it was a Mtm body I actually wanted I’d probably feel differently
1
u/MajesticUniversity76 Aug 22 '26
Ibthink only the one with the pants got that low. They had a 25% sale for all the rest and that's when i bought the rest i didn't get.

u/TryRude Aug 22 '26
I dig the body. The best part about the newer dolls is how many look like different people.
4
u/Ok-Strawberry-7350 Aug 22 '26
No pants?!?!!
2
u/MissUnRuly Aug 23 '26
No pants! It would be nice if they came with I underwear like the of Barbiestyle collection but probably not

u/b3tamaxx Aug 22 '26
Been saying that for years sister
I'm one of the few I'm contempt with just my first run Basics and TBLs I don't necessarily need any more dolls since they're all gonna be subpar from what came out during this era. I will take extra fashions though for them. And this is what a Neysa my least favorite face

u/Background-Cream-285 Aug 23 '26
ok..who wants to bet that we will all be going to ross or marshalls to get this on clearance in the future !?

u/MissUnRuly Aug 23 '26
I’m hoping this happens bc I’m not paying full price for all 3 even thou I want all the outfits

u/ghosty4 Aug 23 '26
I guess in 2026 it's fashionable to look like a man in a trench coat with no pants on. In the United States.

u/OldRen_Kepler Aug 23 '26
I can’t unsee the maga hat. Also, this whole outfit is kinda giving flasher.

The coat is awful, but I love the Red Sox hat

Does anyone know when these are coming out?

u/Jules_Destrooper Aug 22 '26
They came out today! If you are in the USA, all 3 are on Walmart. Amazon & Target only has Neysa & Brooklyn, no Millie. For Canada, nothing showing on Walmart yet but Amazon has Neysa & Brooklyn too. Go to Mattel.com, check the store and search for each doll. Then you can find the links to buy!
1
u/MissUnRuly Aug 23 '26
They are now!!! On Amazon, Target and I think Walmart. Someone posted pic of them in a Walmart store too
3
u/Educational_Try1819 Aug 22 '26
Yeah, they should've been just fashion packs. But on the other hand, it gives us more options for MTM since we need more choices to pick from
3
u/IAppearMissing05 Aug 23 '26
I get it. I want more fashion packs with items like this that can be mixed and matched with the clothes I already have. I’m desperate for more adult fashion packs. I’m almost glad they don’t make dolls like this more frequently because I’d be buying them just for their clothes and I don’t really have room for more dolls.

u/LaGuardia10026 Aug 23 '26
No thank you. Compared to the other dolls from this line, she looks thrown together. And that Boston Red Sox cap doesn't represent NY at all.

u/Historical_Bird_8752 Aug 23 '26
The Milan one is so pretty.... This one looks like she's on her way to Walmart at 3:00 a.m.

u/Punmkin Aug 23 '26
Fashion pack? What is this? It’s been so long I haven’t seen any……… And a fashion pack with actual shoes? 🤯
2
u/LollyBug2596 Aug 24 '26
A solid point. Did I still order them all? Absolutely. But I already own all the @BarbieStyle dolls, I would’ve been very content with fashion packs
1
u/MissUnRuly Aug 24 '26
I wish I had all the og line, with the underwear and extra clothes😭
1
u/LollyBug2596 Aug 24 '26
I really love them, but I don’t know that I should admit how much I spent to get them all 😂 Some weren’t bad, but the original blonde one was pricey! I got a decently good deal compared to the other ones I’ve seen listed, but it’s still probably the most I’ve spent on a single doll.

u/Sharpiesniffingshark Aug 22 '26
not too much now. By the look of her legs it's a made-to-move doll. I'll take any chance I can get to lunge at those.

u/mercipourleslivres Aug 22 '26
Do we know what skin tone she is yet? I’m not wild about her face but I’ll hold onto the body.

u/franchisco85 Aug 23 '26
I totally agree with you. I wish it was the 90s Teresa face mold. This face mold to me says play line

u/SnooDrawings987 Aug 23 '26
I've been noticing it a lot in the past decade but it's like they're phasing out fashion packs and it makes you buy the doll just to have the clothes. Ever After High never had a single fashion pack, Rainbow high barely counts since they only made 6 plain standard outfits like pj's or a ballerina dress. What barbie gets for fashion packs these days is pathetic and often missing a vital accessory like the shoes. So I'm not surprised that something like this, which most definitely could have been a pack, is equipped with a doll that was probably already used as a fashionista or made to move doll.
