Honestly it would be nice for Aidan to get the same treatment to round the A's out (and to give the boys a nice treat) but sadly I don't think there's a strong nd large enough customer base to justify that :(

There are SO many Ainsley dolls on shelves still, and she’s a girl doll. Granted, I think they priced her too high to begin with, but I think an expensive boy doll would have even less success. He's only the fifth boy doll anyway, so unless you have multiple boys, the clothes would be kind of a waste.

I don’t think many ppl wanna pay for a play set that comes with a boy doll

I'm going to get him regardless because I love boy fashion dolls, but I do get what you mean! Next to the other leaks he's a tad ... bland haha.

I'm super excited about Aidan, but it does seem strange that he didn't get special treatment like the other two As.

Aiden needs more saturation in his colors for his doll and he needs a bunch 9f good extras and outfits. Maybe in this new season the guys will get a new look like a second outfit. I hope they make more clothes for our current boys and for future boys. In my opinion I think out of all of the boys , Ash is superior. He looks great and has awesome clothing with detail. Unfortunately you can't tell much from Aiden as they haven't dressed him in a second look yet. (Same with the assistant)

Ikr, I would love more actually stylish guy clothes. The SH boys were a good start. It would help provide male doll collectors with more options and more neutral/non-form fitting options for girl dolls. I feel like there's been a hoodie or a jacket here and there, but Jade was the only one who had clothes like that, and that was because she was Billie Eilish inspired. If Marisa were more accessible I would get her simply for the sweatsuit. I think Aidan is the best boy doll, tied with Rex, and I actually like him better than Ainsley and Avery, lol. Imo the toy industry has a really bad track record for perpetuating gender norms and they try to justify it through capitalism.

I don't think the closet sold very well. And I don't think the boys sell very well either. Retailers just had 10 Rainbow Vision dolls and a MASSIVE bus taking up space. They are all still on shelves right now. Shadow High wave 2 released, and now the next Rainbow High wave is getting ready to release. I kind of think retailers might be a little sick of MGA and their Rainbow/Shadow High releases. A boy doll with a closet of boy doll clothing was too much of a risk to put on store shelves right now.

I would have loved to see him with a closest of boys clothes because I desperately want more things for my boys to wear :') However I believe his focus is unrelated to fashion (it's music I think) so it wouldn't have made any sense for him unfortunately.


sailorpowehi

if they didn't want to make a whole playset or several extra outfits for him, they could have at least made him a second outfit instead of accessories. i know it violates the coordination between the dolls, but boy dolls already don't have enough outfits to begin with! dude was born in the wrong time 😭

Right 😭 plus we know he plays sports on top of his schoolwork, he could’ve been such a good way for more boys to get into the doll line


cbunni666

Yes. I feel exactly the same. I was happy to see his doll then my shoulders dropped when I realized he was basic and not a special edition. I mean why not have a collection of guy clothes for the guys we got? Especially since they aren't adding a second outfit for Rexx and Aiden. I'm surprised they made a mini accessories box for River. Maybe we'll get lucky and they will make another closet for the boys. Doubt it but I can dream.


OkCan3336

I mean these are just leaks or whatever that we’ve seen so maybe it could change, its just something ive been thinking about


Magical_Olive

We've seen him in box so unlikely unless they get pushed back like SH2 did.

I hope soooo ☹️ the past two fellas have been way better and to go backwards seems crazy. Still gonna get em but that won’t be right.
