I miss Rainbow Highs Prime
I wish I could go back to 2022/2023 when Rainbow High was in its prime. The dolls that were coming out at that time were unreal.
The clothes were so insanely detailed and every doll had a unique style.
Now it seems that every RH doll released now is the same pink and rainbow glitter doll with slime and water legs, and now there’s permanently no wrist articulation? I know I’m late to the party but I just need to rant. It’s always so disheartening seeing a very popular doll brand get rebranded and watered down to a younger audience.
Rainbow High was my introduction to doll collecting when I purchased core Sunny and Poppy. Even for the brands first wave of dolls they were so pretty.
And then came all the diverse dolls. The vitiligo girl, the henna girl etc. That was my first time seeing those represented in dolls.
And then I remember the media. I remember actually enjoying watching the YouTube show, and getting hyped over the music concert.
I don’t keep up with RH media nowadays but what I can remember is the popularity and investment the series back in the day had.
I just wish MGA would realise they don’t need to dumb down their doll brand to get sales. Yes I can understand why the dolls at their prime could’ve been more expensive to make but it’s very possible to make stunning dolls with a lower budget.
Anyway that’s kind of the rant over. Sorry for the yapping but I just needed to mourn Rainbow High💔
Lmk what your guys thoughts are on the soft reboot Rainbow High got in 2024.
