Hey guys! I know this is a little bit different from what I normally post, but with the new Barbie movie coming out I thought it would be fun to show you my mom's huge Barbie collection! Do you collect anything? 💕🛼🎀🌷

The message "you can do anything but not everything" is great. I wish more people said it that way. It's more of a complete message.

[SoCraftastic]

I love that you chose to tell a story with so many interesting facts!
We absolutely need a part 2! 💗
My (very small) childhood Barbie collection actually has a few of the ones you showed - Bathtime Fun Kelly, the blonde Sweetheart Barbie, & Tropical Splash Barbie.

As a Barbie collector myself, I really enjoyed seeing your mom's collection! It's crazy how extremely rare a bunch of them are!

[mikeywise]

the movie proved to me that barbie is for everyone, not just girls or women. the creativity and designs are out of this world

[gabrielleandrews]

This was so interesting!! 🩷
I was an only child growing up so my mum spoilt me with dolls, and playing with Barbies were everything to me! As I became a bit older I became more into Bratz dolls but they’re not around much anymore. So seeing Barbie dolls still being produced out there today is amazing! So nostalgic!

The way people criticise Barbie for being “too sexual” because she has big boobs really bothers me. Like criticise the fact she was based off that other doll, fine, but big boobs don’t make a person, or Barbie, more sexual. That’s a harmful mentality that leads to actual women who have bigger boobs being harassed more and held to much higher dress code standards compared to other women. It’s not like it’s a choice, and if it was I don’t think anyone would want the back pain lol. Your mum’s collection is amazing, thanks for sharing it with us and for not avoiding the more difficult conversations that Barbie can bring up!!!

[melirosario]

Holy crap your mom has the coolest collection I’ve ever seen. You have to do a whole video about all of the family members and decide characters that she has because she has more than most people I know, and I know people who go to the Barbie convention every year and spend thousands of dollars And I still think your mom’s collection of not Barbie is better

[VivianSummer]

I loved this video! I didn’t grow up in the 90’s or with too many Barbie’s but as an older person I find the history interesting. Thanks for the vid Megan!! ❤

1:53 I love how this Barbie is giving “Bombastic side eye” 😂🤣🤣😂

[taraleebeers]

Loved seeing your mom and aunts collection I also enjoyed seeing your car posing with some of the dolls ❤

[tinaofferjost]

Loved your video! My mother would have loved it--she collected Barbies--she had about 300 as well, but not as extensive as your mom's collection. My daughter had the Pooh Stacy and the bicyclin' Stacy. Thank you for the nostalgia and fun facts. (Your cat is adorable!!!) :)

I'm a lifetime Barbie collector and I really like your video. It was a great summary of Barbie's history. Your mom and aunt have an awesome collection of dolls ❤

I think adults thought way more about Barbie's body and bodies in general than kids ever did. As a kid I always wanted to be as stylish and successful as Barbie, but I never thought "I want to be skinny like Barbie" I did end up being skinny, but I wasn't really aware of it until adults started talking about my body.

I also don't like the claim that Barbie only became diverse recently, and before that all dolls were "blonde and blue-eyed" There were always different Barbies around, if you wanted them. Both mine and my mom's first Barbies were black, while we're white. I also always loved Barbie's friends like Teresa, Christie, Kira, Lea etc. I like that they had a name and identity of their own. And I think they're all very beautiful, just like Barbie 😘

[lacialysia]

Wow nostalgia overload 😊❤❤❤ i forgot some of these Barbies. It's crazy how I remember certain Barbies!! The sweetheart Barbie i remember her dress and necklace.

[ciaraskeleton]

I kept every single Barbie, My scene Doll+ any other doll including my baby dolls. I have the small dolls in a wooden Barbie box, with their dogs, horses, Mermaid babies and a suitcase full of Barbie clothes and shoes. I even have a Cindy doll, and Lots of Barbie's from the 70's and 80's.

I always thought I was so odd for wanting to hold onto my dolls, clothes and accessories until the Barbie movie, when I seen the millions of other people who collect, store, restore, Dolls and Barbie's. Makes my heart warm ❤

I never owned one single Ken, I never even thought about his existence. I had my Barbie married to a bungee jumping Action man. 😂

[lolableu]

Wow I love that collection. I have around two hundred Barbie's. I started my collection back in the late 1980s when I was little.

[LouiseB]

Ahh this is so fun! I loved my Barbies and Skipper! I was born in 1996 so Bratz took over at some point for me but Barbie is so iconic.

[FerrariCarr]

I absolutely LOVE the early dolls of the late 50’s-early 60’s. They’re so chic in a simplistic yet effective way. They really epitomized the glamour of that era.

maybe she was a runaway bride!!
