It’s My Scene, My Scene! You know what I mean? In the throes of agony over losing ground in the fashion doll industry to MGA’s Bratz, Mattel tried to use the Bratz formula to their own benefit, with the glam, trendy, nightclub-loving My Scene.
Did they succeed in establishing a unique and viable competitor, or did they just make a shameless ripoff? How old are they, anyways? And why is Harvey Weinstein there? This video will take a look at the history of the dolls, their excellent presence on Mattel’s website, the CD ROM games, the original and reboot english webisodes, and all three direct to DVD movies.

a few notes:
Diva Starz is actually Mattel. For some reason there were several sources that claimed they were distributed by MGA and since they weren’t the focus of this video i didn’t look into it further.
Second, this video omits a series of spanish/portuguese webisodes that I had to overlook due to time constraints. I plan to cover those in a future Patreon-exclusive video!
I played the hair and make up game on the website more than tomboy me wanted to ever admit.
NOT THE GOVERNMENT ASSIGNED DUDES
I love the fit!!!
I'm only 15 minutes into the vid and exploded at the fact myscene was in project runway, i never knew since i really only started watching from season 3 onwards…. Mattel really said "put them everywhere" just to kill Bratz 😭
I literally teared up as the myscene homepage came on screen. Those games had such a hold on me growing up 🥹
I loved the myscene website but the dolls were always lack luster for me.
I think Mattel didn’t make a myscene karaoke machine because bratz already had one. (I literally still have mine lol)
YAY My Scene Video!!!! <3 Also you look fabulous
Roller skate nolee was my only myscene doll and she was my absolute favourite doll. The only thing was she was so much bigger than my barbies so playing with them together was a bit odd. She was always the cool mean older sister… sorry nolee
I would just like to appreciate the use of both FF10 and Style Savvy music, both of my pre-pubescent obsessions
Everything about this. You really outdid yourself with prep for all of this! Love it
OMG I had the remote control roller skating blond one when I was like six. I thought it was a normal barbie though. It worked really well, she did the splits, spun, and went back and forth. The controls worked just fine. She was tall and beautiful! Lasted for many years, too, and was fit to donate once I didn't play with her anymore.
Consumed batteries in a blink and made A LOT of noise, though.
This was my shit!!!!!
YOU ARE WEARING MY FAVORITE OUTFIT AND THE MAKEUP IS SO WELL DONE THIS IS SO SLAY
I never had any of the dolls but I played the website games so many times I can't even begin to count. I have no idea how I possibly missed the websidoes. I loved watching the Monster High ones so much I had them memorized as a kid. I guess I was too preoccupied by the hair and dress up game to look.
Shut the hell up the website was EVERYTHING oh my god that brought me back to
I wasn't allowed to play with Bratz simply because they were called Bratz and my parents thought they'd "give me a bad attitude."
Should have come with Barbie and me fake IDs, for how often these dolls were sneaking into night clubs
Yay Li! ❤
omg i played so much of myscene games, but i had no idea that they were dolls as well?!?! crazy
I uh…. Never knew myscene were dolls?? I only watched the movie or whatever and olayed the games? Man thisbis wild but i loved my scene
Okay maybe i never actually watched the movies bc i dint rember varbie being a part of the my scene group. But i do remebe kennedy.
Also thank you so much for these obscure internet girl topics. Idk, just so many things from growing up on the internet that i vaugly think about but mostky forget, so you videos slap them to my forefront and i just thank you for it
i remember being so confused that my friend's christian mum didnt let her have Bratz but then she had a bunch of My Scene dolls, that marketing worked wonders
i loved the my scene games as a kid so much. honestly wasn't big on dolls but i loved the outfits and pets.
Omg I thought the thumbnail look was edited clickbait! What a delightful surprise! 😂
I LOVE MYSCENE!!!! Currently recollecting some Nolee, Delancey, and Madison dolls that I've always wanted as a kid so I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS VIDEO
edit: you look SO good here!!!! the lipstick with the liner is so on point
I can't get over the girls all requesting a "Medium" from wardrobe as if they don't all have like a 10-inch waist or wear size 00 clothes and samples made for runway models.
THAT OUTFIT LI!!!!
Babygirl you slayed so hard I did not recognize you in the thumbnail
26:41 the nostalgia hit me like a ton of bricks
i spent so much time on the website, mainly just watching the webisodes on repeat. 44:39 was my favourite
I had the My Scene Goes Hollywood game and i freaking adored it! I especially loved the lunch delivery game because of how weird it was haha
Part of me wants to play it again to relive that feeling, but i have no idea if i even still have the game
I loooooove your voice
I had butterfly barbie, rocker nolee, and genie delancy from the masquerade set and honestly they're so slay. I need to restore them
my scene dolls made me a lesbian
my grandma wouldn't let me print anything or i would have been wearing the paper nails lmao
Another aspect of my childhood was entered the chat! I cannot express the excitement that is building up and your outfit is tooo cute!!!!
i was so engrossed in the barbieXmaddison section that i tripped and fell and broke my sidetable
It always baffles me how I had never heard of my scene until I was an adult collector. I love bratz and barbie, I was constantly online playing dress up games. I don't really like my scene as a whole, but I ADORE their clothing. It still haunts me that in 2016-2019 I never bought the my scene dolls at this discount toy store near me. They had my bling bling and another line I can't remember, but I just remember it had an interesting box shape. I wish I had bought them for the clothes and accessories, idc about the dolls
i love your videos so much! thank you for this 🥹🩷
i never got any myscene dolls because i was brainwashed by bratz but i did love the websites!
You don't know how happy I am that you covered My Scene, literally my fav doll line alongside Bratz and Novi Stars 😭 I would be soooo upset doing the nails game and being unable to print out my designs cuz my family didn't own a printer lmaoooo
Have noticed that Riven from life in the dream house looks nearly identical to River and have the same hobby soo he was remembered I guess
