Honestly I noticed mh and sh has had the most decent represention in regerds to alt dolls but even then not so much?? Like you said mh has had used stereotypes for their represention in regards to characters like isi and even in g3 still do (draculaura being Asian an a top A+ student with nagging parents and lagoona being a spicy Latina) while SH just like the doll line it came from RH Would only have straight , wavy and loosely curly hair types, nothing else beyond that , only recently did we get a SH doll in series 2 whom has micro braids(whom is beautiful but we did not need to wait ages to get our second sh/rh doll with micro braids, OMG has been killing it with the amount of Black hairstyles they’ve been giving us)
I can’t believe these kinds of dolls have existed and for a while and I’ve never known about them at all. Probably because most of society doesn’t like alt things but wow this is so refreshing and makes me want to collect dolls 🖤
I love Voltaire's Gothic Homemaking series! There are so many cool dolls, I would have loved to know things like this existed when I was younger
Great doll list 🙂 There are a few more plushies on the Vampire Freaks site that go with the Unicorn, and Killstar sells the Kreeptures which are all so cool. There is a brand of figures called Underbedz which I saw a few years back. I don't think they are made any longer. So glad you posted this video Sweetie 🙂 <3
EEEEek this made my day!! 🥰💜💜
Loved the video! Very well done and informative~
What are your opinions on Fugglers? They’re like the adult versions of Ugly Dolls, but more detailed and creepier! They’re amazing and spooky but sadly discontinued 🙁
seriousl i dont know why you think it's cool that those dolls actually promote self harm and suicide or just death and it shouldnt be encourage …it's triggering for people with real suicide thoughts and self harm problem. so be carefl on the way you express the coolness of having seringe in their eyes
I loved this video! 🖤It's so fun to talk about dolls and plushies, some lines I didn't know 🙂 I remembered the Mavis dolls from Hotel Transylvania, I found out about them last year. There are 3 dolls of her, one with the signature outfit, the wedding one (I have both, they're very cute in my opinion) and there's also the holiday version that I don't really care. Their quality is not the best but it's not bad either. I love to see her next to my Draculaura dolls, since they're both vampires and Dracula's daughters
i guess my experience is biased by the circles i run in, but it's surprising to me that right-wing imagery would even make sense for these dolls from a capitalist standpoint? guess i'm just used to anti-fascist and leftist alt culture, some anarchist but nothing imperialist or actively bigotted
I grew up in the south in america, and a lot of the people here say the confederate flag is "heritage, not hate." We're brainwashed from a young age, cause no one talks about what the flag actually represented. It wasn't until I was in AP US History in high school that I really understood the gravity of the situation. While the belt was more than likely for shock, I know a lot pf southern collectors would have bought her very very fast, thinking she "represents them" (This is not excusing this btw!! Just sharing my experience with y'all)
hello!! do u know anything about vamplets? i found these on tumblr when I was younger but I think the tumblr has been deleted and there's barely any information on them, so I was wondering if u knew anything abt them!!! they're these little cutesy plush vampire babies that aren't creepy in any real way, but is kind of a spooky kids toy brand that's lost to time at this moment T-T
What I really like about bratz dolls was that each line had a consistent ethnically diverse group of girls 😊 there are a couple lines that they did which were alternative
DUDE DUDE DUDE DUDE DUDE i checked vampirefreaks after seeing unibones (because oh my god, ponies plus spooky stuff..<3) and it turns out!!!!!!! unibones is only one of em!!!!!!!! alongside unibones, there are a number of other plushies appearing to be from the same line, including… grumpy bones bear, skelekitty, barky bones aaaaand (you're gonna love this) rip rabbit, who's got these really tall stiff ears kinda giving off a very strong frank the bunny silhouette and has a lil x on its forehead and just ohhh my god dude. like, part of me is like, yeah they're skelanimals knockoffs but they're stylized in a way i can really respect, they lowkey almost remind me of clayface plushies (particularly the bear) and they're just soooo cute so i thought you'd like to know!!! also great video!!! 😀
Thanks for talking about lack of representation and racism in alt toys/ style in general. As a poc alt person its really annoying to run into this all the time. Like I just want to listen to old goth music without someone saying something awful
Omg as soon as you mentioned plushes I was hoping you'd rank Ugly Dolls. As a kid I always wanted one but never had the chance rip but glad to be reminded of them!
I think lalaloopsy would've been a lovely addition to this list – though they're not strictly alternative, I think that they definitely have roots in alternative subcultures. Or maybe im just biased because I had them as a kid but I think that they're so beautiful.
its not for kids
but they have these helluva boss plushies and standees
they are pretty gothic and spooky and Adorable
they don't have dolls though or action figures though
Helluva boss is a youtube show
have you heard of Vamplets?? theyre baby vampire plushies/figures with a little baby bottle filled with blood and theres also comic books of them too! they look very goofy but i think theyre also very cute
i used to collect dolls when i was like 9-12 (2015/2018) and i had so many cool dolls mainly monster high but i had a few really cool dolls i found in charity shops like i had: a clawdeen that howelled and could blink, Jade J'Adore and i had 2 really cool dolls that were both like 20 inches the blue and pink pixy punks but the small purple one and i loved them sooo much and i miss having them sooo much
yoo i used to have gothic angels and i got them when i wanted monster highs but didnt have enough money
Love your dolls myself and ddlg abdl age regression little space my channel
Rising sun can also be a symbol of pagan solar god worship. Symbols can have so many meanings it can be positive to negative and everything in-between. Plus they change over time. don't let it bother you too much. I don't want to sign off on something bad either but where their is opinions their is disagreements. Love your work and the dolls💕 keep up the good work 🙂
loved this vid! I'm not very knowledgeable on modern fashion dolls, but I was obsessed with spooky toys as a kid. I had a Jaded Jenny doll from hot topic, she was so cute! I was also super into Lenore comics, but any merch relating to her is so hard to come by these days.
I really really loved this video!! it lowkey makes me wanna start collecting dolls <3 but my wallet wouldn't appreciate that oops
Oh just to let you know Tiny Tears as a doll stuck around for a while as there was more updated versions of her available over the years and I'm pretty sure I did own one as a kid and that would've been like 90s/early 00s
Nice video
Wait but the bat ugly dolls 😍😍😍 but just to answer yes there was a movie but imo it sucked
Thank you for talking about the negative aspects and I appreciate that you as a white girl didn't have to do this BUT u choose too Anyway and this is what we need from everyone..You did a great job and as a poc I really appreciate you highlighting the issues with these doll lines..you also covered some dolls I wasn't aware of and I have been searching for a video like this…
Kinder goths are from the same creator of Begoth dolls! He wanted to create a goth line for younger kids that's why we chose plushies..I found them when I was searching for Bleeding Edge Goth dolls…I love them and have 3 so far as they are hard to find.
Ugly dolls is a movie the pluses are by product. I would love to see you react to the movie because I think you have such a different idea of what the movie is like. (I hope this doesn't come off mein English isn't my first language)
Hi Rabbit! [Apologies if this comment posts twice.] I used to love Bradley dolls – silk Victorian ladies with Keane-esque big eyes. I'd LOVE to see goth customizations of Bradleys. They could really go dark & vampy. Thank you for the terrific, thorough video. I leaned so much! – Kada
It makes me so happy you include Uglydolls🌸🌸🌸 they do have comic books and a movie (which is fine i guess).
Ik you said Barbie is not your thing but i wanna know if to make this video you searched for the Haunted Beauty collection and what do you think of it
Is Shadow High counts as goth? The monochrome confuses me, and are the Storm twins wearing either punk or goth, or a sub genre of those?
That was super awesome! I learned so much!
I have meow meow I love your doll taste and jasmine bean loves novi stars
Im glad u mentioned alternative dolls and how,,,overly white they are. im a ldd collector and there's only like 3 or 4 actual poc dolls id love to see a ldd in darker skin tones like me, hell sometimes i redesign ldds to have darker skin. in gen people seem to think to be alt or spooky u have to be white and that's sad…
I loved fashion victim lulu then BOOM confederate flag, it sucks one of my fav dolls is racist lmfao
I keep commenting but oml i love ldds, so theres this doll, daliah,,shes based off a real celebrity Elizabeth short aka the black daliah who was murdered, the doll is based and literally looks like her. Her doll makes me SO uncomfortable and the fact people own her and talk about how much they love her is so morbid. i hate when ldd makes dolls blantly based off real people, like schitzo whos based off john wayne gacy and a few more
Wow there’s a lot of spooky dolls out there I didn’t know of a lot of these. I also think you did so well addressing the offensive things we seen on some of them 👏🏽
Shadow High is exclusively alternative style, so separating that from the whole Rainbow High franchise is a great way to appreciate those specific dolls :3
Super cool video! The alt community hasnt gotten a ton of love from the more mainstream doll lines so I'm loving learning about a lot of these! I always loved Bratz as a kid, their more alt lines were awesome! I bought the anniversary remakes of the Rock Angelz and fulfilled a childhood dream haha.
P.S.- Plushie dreadfuls are amazing!! My sibling got me one for my birthday last year and I love my little creepy blood bunny so much- but I also love American McGees Alice games sooo.
something really similar to ugly dolls that i love are fugglers and the like 2000s string voodoo doll keychains
what a wonderful video! proud of myself for knowing most of these and happy to learn about the ones I didn't! Mystixx is a guilty pleasure of mine as well. Begoths and Bratzillaz are my current grail dolls.
There’s also a mini goth doll line called Pocket full of posiez! They’re pretty cute but I love Delilah. She’s got a big head and an adorable little cupcake accessory. ❤ it’s from a YouTuber named Queenie so you can find more about the history! 🙂
i love seeing your videos
Does anyone know Once Upon A Zombie Dolls? Because I kinda like them and actually own some of them:3
