History Toys / RainbowHigh

* AnAesop: The moral of "Going Viral" is that while taking revenge on someone ''can'' be satisfying, it causes more harm than good. ''Especially'' if it's committed against a friend, although they have wronged you in the past it does nothing but cause more tensions in the your friendship. In addition, the overall episode has a message against uploading videos of close friends with exploitative/malicious intent, even if they had consented to be filmed.

** Bella Parker: Her first name comes from the shade "bella pink".
** River Kendall: Rivers are (obviously) blue. "Kendall" is a play on [[Toys/{{Barbie}} "Ken Doll"]].

* MythologyGag: There are many references to ''Toys/{{Poopsie}}''.

* PinkIsFeminine: Bella wears light pink and has a more [[GirlyGirl girlier]] fashion sense, but is good with a hammer (since Set Design is her biggest passion).

** Avery Styles: "Every style"

* RainbowMotif: Throughout the school. Even as an ArcWord.

** The designs of the characters take inspiration from RealLife designer brands (Supreme, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, etc.) with the names replaced with [[BlandNameProduct "Rainbow", "Sparkle", the like]].

* WhamShot:
** "The Final Runway Show": [[spoiler:'''Bella is back.''']]

Originally started as a spin-off to ''[[Toys/{{Poopsie}} Poopsie Slime Surprise!]]'' called ''Rainbow Surprise'', Creator/MGAEntertainment has retooled the line into ''[[https://rainbowhigh.mgae.com/ Rainbow High]]''. Launched in 2020, the toyline centers around the students of the eponymous boarding school, with a prestigious focus on the arts. Each character is based on a [[ColorMotifs specific color]] and is focused on a certain art field. In early 2022, a spin-off campus called ''Pacific Coast High'' debuted with all-new characters, plus Bella Parker, who had been previously expelled from Rainbow High. The setting is an unnamed beachfront city. Later on came a rival school to Rainbow High; dubbed ''[[https://shadowhigh.mgae.com Shadow High]]''.''SH'' established itself with a striking desaturated greyscale-themed wave of dolls with skin colors from pure white to stark black, and soon broadened to include spooky fantastical notes with more colorful nonhuman skin tones and more fantasy-themed character designs, though the kids are still portrayed as normal humans.

* PowerWalk: Anytime the As come on screen together. With the scene's lights dimming, pulsing effects by their sides, and even ''runaway music'' playing in the back.

* MythologyGag: There are many references to ''Toys/Poopsie''.

* TheFaceless: Subverted for Ms. Morton, the advisor to the main cast's class. Played straight bu lt then subvertrd for Bella’s role model, Ramona Barnes.
