i was obsessed with these when i was little! other kids my age thought that they were creepy, but i found them cute and endearing!

[BrendanJSmith]

Your entire life has been leading to this moment.

I’m disappointed to see that they changed Dots Starlights skin color. 😢 As a darker black girl Dot was my favorite

[KeatonChandelier]

more info:

-Dot Starlight, while excluded from merchandising 100% of the time, she never failed to make an appearance in all forms of medias.

-the Silly Funhouse Peanut & Ember 2-pack is from mid 2012.

-Silly Hair was incredibly well received, getting 11 large doll releases (+ 3 more in 2021) aswell as 6 Silly Hair Littles.

-Button Tails plushies were not released for, or in relation to a corresponding video game. the promotional videos would often advertise their game/activity filled website at the end.

-Pet Pals were not based on the pets of lalaloopsy. all releases for this spin off were original characters and were meant to be just random anthropomorphic animals living in lalaloopsy land as people. random but yeah.

-Lalaloopsy Babies as a toy line wasn't that remarkable, but the movie released for the line, "Lalaloopsy Babies: First Steps" gave us a lot of lore/origin info about the Lalaloopsy characters.

-its mentioned that Whirly Stretchy Locks has a sewn on date on Lollipop day, every Lalaloopsy character has a sewn on date in correspondence with a holiday that goes with their theme.

-series 1 of Mystery Paint Cans were releases of pre existing minis
(though there were four "chaser" minis exclusively available through the cans)
but series 2 of the Cans, aswell as series 1 & 2 of the Mystery Purses, had entirely new style n swap minis.
(series 1 & 2 of Mystery Purses were basically series 3 & 4 of the Pain Cans, they just changed the shape)

-It's not certain whether or not Lalaloopsy is here to stay, rumor has it, the 2021 rerelease didn't sell well, in fact you can find most of them heavily discounted on Amazon for like $15 $10 i've seen $5 even. it's unlikely that we'll see anymore releases. most speculate that it was a lack of advertising that led to the 2021 rereleases flopping.

i loved this video, YOU ATE! I've seen a lot of these kinds of videos where they hardly know what they're talking about 😭 but this one is perfectly perfect~ Thank u for making this, i enjoyed watching 💞

I was probably the .0001% of kids who saved the mini lalaloopsy packaging houses and repurposed them into a little city I built with my own two 12 year old hands. Also hearing the theme song made my inner child cry happy tears!

[Leeeg]

i always associated them with coraline, not just because of the button eyes, but because they both used the same "can you do the can can" melody in their advertisements.

[yummy_lemon]

I absolutely love this, finally someone who actually does research and is not just nostalgia baiting!

[Jinxjankjunk]

I had Blossom Flowerpot when I was younger !! Her design is literally THE CUTEST thing ever!! Lowkey this video makes me want to start collecting Lalaloopsies. Their designs are EVERYTHING!!

[jeremyaster]

I must've unintentionally watched the search for pillow like. 20 times while supervising my baby sister like ages ago. though thinking about my fondness for this series today as a late-teenage boy makes me feel really embarrassed inside. but idgaf anymore this stuff was (and remains) awesome

[Marionette]

Fun Fact: 3:18 While Dot doesn't have any variations of herself, Dot was eventually given a little sister. Comet Starlight was released in 2021, 11 years after Dot. Any child around that time are either teens or young adults. My guess is they thought Dot didn't need a sibling, but seeing as she was part of the original, they said "Screw it" and give her one. Only hardcore Lalaloopsy fans brought and kept Dot and brought Comet when she came out.

My annual Lalaloopsy phase is coming back man, every now and again I'll get obsessed again and play with my dolls lol. I grew up with em man and I still love them.

[kieranhair]

I grew up in a hospital where Raggedy Anne was basically the mascot. So I appreciated that shoutout.

[nyxiaxoxo]

I'm unsure if you said this in the latter half of the video, but Dot eventually got a little sister!! It took 11 years, but she was released during the rereleases in 2021 and she's a cutie :) kinda sad her pet was a recolor of Specs tho

[surpachievement]

The house packaging should not have changed because it aligned with the “repurpose” objective of the brand, i love it as a kid, and never ripped my boxes

[clusterofbees]

a bit late to this video but
omg i forgot how adorable these character designs are!
and it brought back a memory of how much it hurt when you got hit in the with one of the big dolls… that plastic was not forgiving 💀

[kazy.]

I actually used to own Lalaloopsy’s and can add more info!
- the color me’s used paint markers and it stained the clothes (well, mine did)
- The swap n’ style dolls have the rubber Polly Pocket clothes texture (just to confirm how the clothing swaps work)
- there were Two mermaid dolls (Coral Seashells and Sand E. Stars I think were the names, but less confident on the latter) and they had color change hair, pets that worked as rubber ducks, and two outfits (a tail and swimsuit)
- There was a mermaid bubble bath doll line that I distinctly remember owning
- there were fantasy minis based off of fairytales (the ones I remember are ones based on Little Red Riding Hood, Miss Mary Muffet, and Peter Pan, but there is more)
- There were limited edition gold minis (the only ones I remember are a crumbs and peanut + the litter sisters and pets as a double pack)

[eddietaylor]

I love Lalaloopsie so much, I always get a weird nostalgia abt them bc my dad bought me and my sister a like. IMPRACTICAL amount of lalaloopsie dolls while he was manic. Like a jawdropping amount. Throughout this video I kept thinking I wouldnt have had the ones showing on screen when I was younger, but we fr had almost every release in the early years 😭 I dont have any anymore bc we sold them all but its crazy looking back on it.

[LMEON]

Lego this, Lego that; have you ever been hit full force with a lalaloopsy doll from a sibling?!? That’s true pain! Especially if they had pointy hair 😭💖

[mikaeruu]

i think a very underrated part of the lalaloopsy franchise is the DS game. i used to play that so much as a kid even after I had already finished it. actually obsessed. in fact, i associate lalaloopsy with the Nintendo DS because i would go on the website every single day and take pictures of every single new (little) doll that would release whenever they released. i was obsessed with them in such a weird way

[dink__]

Peak childhood memories. I always combined my Lalaloopsie minis with my LPS sets so I could pretend like all the girls lived together in that big purple house with their pets.
