Millennials, we’ve got some bad news for you. There’s a new doll on the scene - and her name isn’t Barbie or Polly Pocket.
Just as the Barbie hype blows over, a new wave of impeccably dressed, stylish faces arrives in town. Rainbow High dolls are fun, colourful companions that will appease any child with a flair for fashion. Available via high street heroes such as John Lewis and Argos, Rainbow High dolls are easy to get your hands on and even easier to become obsessed with.
From fashion designers to BFFs having a sleepover, there are numerous dolls to discover. Perfect for playing alongside friends, each Rainbow High doll has its own shining personality with the wardrobe to match.
Released in mid-2020 by American toy company MGA Entertainment, the dolls were designed as a spin-off from the company’s Poopsie Slime Surprise brand. The back story? Each doll is a student of an elite high school for the visual arts, featuring pupils who represent each colour of the rainbow in a dazzlingly distinctive way.
Bug-eyed with voluminous hair in candy colours, Rainbow High dolls were an instant hit. At 24cm high, the Bratz-like toys breathed new life into the gimmicky world of dolls, which was dominated by Mattel’s beach-loving Barbies.
Discover the kaleidoscopic world of Rainbow High dolls and immerse yourself (or your child) in the world of the coolest clique in school.
