I hate the way they sidelined Madison when they did trios. I always thought Madison was the most beautiful one. I think Bratz sometimes sidelined Sasha as well. Ironic considering both of these doll lines were made to be more diverse for the time but the one black doll would often get overlooked.

They used to do that with Barbie too from time to time, e.g. it was either Kira or Christie along Barbie in the line and later Christie or Lea. The fact that Kira appeared mostly in budget lines is also rather suspicious.

I'm so happy you released part 4! Mattel dropping the only doll of color during this final phase was one of many whitewashing tricks I noticed they were doing with a bulk of their playlines during the end of the 2000s into the early 2010s. Aside from rising costs, it was a big factor in why I didn't buy anything from Mattel until a few years ago. Their current doll line is more diverse than ever before, so it's easy today for me to find dolls that look like people I know, but back then, it was really bad. I'm not surprised My Scene only existed to fight MGA, but at the same time, I am surprised by how quickly it wound down. I never had these dolls, but this series gave me a new perspective on them that I didn't have before. I remember parents swearing My Scene and Bratz were extremely sexual because they looked ethnic and wore makeup, but looking back as an adult, the fashions weren't really age inappropriate the way some of today's LOL dolls are. Some of the concepts are downright wholesome, so I'm unlearning a lot of sexism that was fostered onto me because of these videos. I'm also surprised nobody noticed Barbie dating River behind Ken's back. Was she just treated as an unrelated Barbie to the main play line?

It's really interesting to see these older brands with a modern lens - especially now that issues of racism, sexism, and body image are more openly discussed. As for the Barbie-Ken relationship, I always saw the Barbie spinoff lines as alternate universes to the mainline "Malibu" Barbie. That too, it was around this was around the time that Mattel really wanted to give Barbie a "cooler" boyfriend - so Ken was sadly an afterthought to River and Blaine.

And tbh I do like Barbie more than Bratz she is better and always will be and u just have to deal with it. Btw if u play flash games and compare the Bratz games to the my scene games my scene will win I love Bratz too but the truth is that Barbie is just way more fun....

Mattel not reproducing/rebooting or even acknowledging My Scene is not only a missed opportunity as My Bling Bling repros would sell like hot cakes but is also massively disappointing. While there was genuine passion on the creatives' side of My Scene, you can really tell that the brand was just used as a tool to compete with MGA, as soon as Bratz was dead, My Scene was basically killed of along with them😭 Besides that you can really tell that My Scene played some MAJOR influence in Monster High. This line often goes underappreaciated and marked off as a Bratz rip-off but it truly is so much more than that and really holds its own! My Scene also introduced a lot of features into the doll world and also executed a lit of things better than their competition! The fashion doll world would be quite different without them:) Anyways, this series was everything and I deeply appreciate you making this happen and doing it justice!

My Scene really was under appreciated for its time - the level of detail, even for more "budget" lines, was incredible!

Even if My Scene did run its course, I believe they ended the brand gracefully, but why they decided to sideline Delancey and Madison after 2009, I don’t know, but it wasn’t necessary. That whole trademark situation with Mattel atm is honestly sad, not only did they REMOVE old uploads of the My Scene webisodes, but they are also REMOVING Etsy listings of custom clothes made for THEIR dolls?!

After watching all four parts, I feel that some changes in the doll line I can understand, and others were completely unnecessary. For example, slowly getting rid of some of characters/dolls, especially Madison, Bryant, Nolee, etc was pretty lame. I now get that they added Barbie to get little girls to notice my scene, but it’s still weird that Kennedy is taking Barbie’s place. Although I like My Scene, I think Mattel really could’ve came up with their own Ideas instead of wasting their time with MGA. Then again I don’t anything about business

Thank you for these videos. Part of the reason why Mattel wants some older Media gone is because everyone involved in the making of it like voice actors, script writers, animation studios might want to retroactively claim a per centage of $$$ made off of it. Back when physical media was a thing those were a one and done deal but now with streaming it has muddied the waters. I know a lot of fans would like for a continuation or reproduction of My Scene to be made, but I disagree. I'd rather have the legacy be left untainted than have a low quality cash grab riding the wave of fan nostalgia be made available on Mattel Creations. We all know it's gonna be overpriced crap, let's be honest.

Mattel really fumbled a bag bc for sure, had they released a 20th anniversary line or a full on revival for My Scene the way MGA did for Bratz, millennials and elder gen z would have shown up and SPENT. I'm still holding out for it to happen one day. I think it would be one of the smartest moves for Mattel since what they have currently is lacking. Little girls and boys want fashion dolls!

The difference the CEO of MGA has a “passion for fashion” lol and has said he will always be indebted to the Bratz. (From his interviews) so he and his team have a personal interest in bringing them back. Yes, they make money and of course no company would make a product unless that’s happening as well, but Mattel seems to be jaded with myscene. It was a means to an end (competing in the doll world at that time) and were very happy to go back to their roots/work on monster high. Mattel has a loyalty to original Barbie.

A great end to the series, thank you for your effort! Def gonna re-watch everything tonight 🥰The random Russian Kennedy is so puzzling - why? And where can I get her now , preferably for uner $200? Lmao. Such a strange brand. Can't deny its cultural relevancy and yet it seems like they have been majorly forgotten both by Mattel and doll collectors alike. More and more lines are becoming scarce on the second hand market and you keep seeing more lines being priced above $100 and yet it's so difficult to come across someone who collects them. Most of the times they're mentioned it's when Bratz are discussed. I wish I could come across more people who have fond memories of them and don't care for the reason they were created. I genuinely never cared about that drama. My Scene, especially the first 3-5 years were so beautifully designed and there was so much thought and heart put into them, real shame the way Mattel just killed them off as soon as Bratz no longer had any grip on the market. Thank you for this retrospective, hopefully more people will fall in love with them now (and drive up their prices lol)
