History YMMV / LOLSurprise

* EnsembleDarkhorse: The OMG (Outrageous Millenial Girls) spin-off line of fashion dolls, the big sisters of the mainline LOL dolls. So much so promotions for ''Lights'', ''Winter Disco'', ''Remix'', ''Winter Chill'' and ''Dance Dance Dance'' [[SpotlightStealingSquad focus more on promoting the OMGs than the main LOL Surprise dolls.]]
** Of the OMGs we have Candylicious, the wave 2 older sister of already beloved Bon Bon who became popular for her pastel palette, references to [[MythologyGag previous lines]] ''Toys/{{Lalaloopsy}}'' and ''Num Noms'', and [[KidAppealCharacter overall]] [[{{Moe}} adorable appeal.]]

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The dolls are huge in Japan to the point that anything that could conceivably have merchandise made out of it does, and cartoon-exclusive characters were given toys there and nowhere else.

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** Following controversy concerning the Boys toddler dolls' detailed anatomy, the Arcade Heroes line gives rubber-plastic undergarments to the boy characters.
** The initial “7 Layers of Surprise” gimmick has been panned for its overbundance of plastic waste. Because of this, later dolls would see tissue paper being used in place of plastic bags, and now use 1-2 layers of plastic instead.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Despite being one of the most successful toylines of the late 2010s, the tad risque outfits of the ''toddler'' characters and the correct anatomy of the ''Boys'' prove to turn some away.

* WinTheCrowd: Despite the initial quality control issues, the OMG dolls easily won over the fashion doll-collecting community and have become popular with the likes of cousin brand ''Bratz''.

* UnfortunateImplications: The Amazing Surprise set introduces two character families: Uptown and Downtown. The darker-complexioned Downtown character family has a more street-based, little risqué (but still passable) style. While the paler-complexioned Uptown family are more preppy and appear to be upper-class...
** A little relieved in the live-action special, where OMG characters Uptown Girl and Downtown BB are portrayed to be best friends, and [[AdaptationalDiversity Uptown Girl is played by an actress of color.]]

* CriticalDissonance: Although there are a number of elements in the franchise that raise eyebrows (see the {{Squick}} entry below), L.O.L. Surprise still enjoys popularity in the toy market.

** Of the OMGs we have Candylicious, the wave 2 older sister of already beloved Bon Bon who became popular for her pastel palette, [[MythologyGag references to previous lines]] ''Toys/{{Lalaloopsy}]'' and ''Num Noms'', and [[KidAppealCharacter overall]] [[{{Moe}} adorable appeal.]]

** Some of the gimmicks of the dolls. Many of the dolls “pee”. Some of the pets “fart” bubbles. And a handful of color-changing characters, such as Kawaii Queen, get flowers where their nipples would be. Country Critter’s blacklight surprise makes her look like ''roadkill''.

** Of the OMG dolls we have Candylicious, the adult sister of Bon Bon who appears to have classic [[UsefulNotes/LolitaFashion Elegant Lolita inspirations]].

* WinTheCrowd: Despite the initial quality control issues, the OMG dolls easily won over the fashion doll-collecting community and have become popular with the likes of cousin brand ''Bratz'' and even rival Creator/{{Mattel}}'s ''Toys/MonsterHigh'' and ''Toys/EverAfterHigh''.
* ...However, the fact that the line was released in the same year both MH and EAH started slowing down -and eventually stopped production in the latter's case- most likely helped plenty, since it left virtually no competition in the market for high-concept, high-detail, [[{{WorldOfPun}} pun]] and [[{{NoCelebritiesWereHarmed}} pop-culture-reference]] heavy dolls both brands helped create.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The "L.O.L.-Palooza" {{Crossover}} stop-motion video with its cousin brand ''Toys/{{Lalaloopsy}}''. It was uploaded on both channels and it was never brought up again. Plus it's likely [[{{Retcon}} retconned,]] with [[TheCameo the Lalaloopsy cameos]] on packaging of later releases implying that it’s an InUniverse toyline.

** Dusk, Spice, Bhaddie, Midnight’s family, and the Spooky Club dolls.

** Spicy Kid has dark eye circles, bat wings, and a lip ring. His pet hamster, Spicy Ham, has bat wings as her color change.
** Leather has a rib cage as his color change. He is also loosely based on Edward Scissorhands.
** The Bigger Surprise box comes with two skeleton masks.

** Grunge Grrrl’s big sister Alt Grrrl has yellow hair with dark streaks, contrasting with the rest of the character family’s pink hair. It’s likely she dyed her hair!

* {{Squick}}:
** The fact that the ''infant/toddler'' characters are in {{Stripperific}} outfits and wear fishnet stockings and leather can be ''very'' offputting to some. Some parents called attention to this, the uproar reaching its peak in 2020.
** Some of the color changing dolls get flowers where their nipples would be.
** The boy dolls are anatomically correct. Because of this, the Arcade Heroes boys were given underwear to hide their genitals.
** Country Critter’s blacklight surprise makes her look like roadkill.

** Many of the dolls “pee”.
** Some of the pets “fart” bubbles.

** A little relieved in the live action special, where OMG characters Uptown Girl and Downtown BB are portrayed to be best friends, and [[AdaptationalDiversity Uptown Girl is played by an actress of color.]]

** The outfits have hospital gown-esque slits on the back. It gets worse when you realize most of the dolls don’t have painted-on leggings.

* FandomRivalry: With ''Toys/{{Hairdorables}}'', as both are surprised-based doll lines that managed to find their fair share of success and are the most popular. This is fueled even further when you take their respective fashion doll spin-offs (OMG for LOL Surprise & Hairmazing for Hairdorables)into account.

* WinTheCrowd: Despite the initial quality control issues, the OMG dolls easily won over the fashion doll-collecting community and have become popular with the likes of [[{{Toys/MonsterHigh}} Monster High]] and [[{{Toys/EverAfterHigh}} Ever After High.]]
