It definitely feels like Miniverse is starting to cheap out and by a lot! Kinda wish you had checked if there was resin in the second strawberry banana smoothie, just to see if it's a general problem with that project or not Also, would love if you made some projects with all the doubles you've gotten through these mystery box unboxing - a bit like how you played around with the Halloween versions, but where you can mix and match between all the different series😊💙
I wanted to know that too
They better get it together, did you see that Zuru is coming out with something like these?
@@thebutter5852 No, I haven't, but good to hear they're gonna get some competition! Hopefully that will make them start rethinking their lowering standards
Miniverse showing no signs of slowing down. They are releasing appliances, valentines, and spring ones.
@@aleksandrrozentsvit8390 I'm actually so excited for the appliances
As an Amazonian worker from a warehouse, I can at least tell you it was NOT Amazon that poked a hole in the case of the product. Amazon is cheap, all we use is stickers that wrap around and can't be easily scanned. xD Also it stinks that MiniVerse is messing these up so badly! I skipped the Christmas collection entirely because none of them really seemed Christmassy and fun to do in equal parts, and I had the same experience with the Halloween caramel apples you did. They're SO CLOSE to consistently knocking it out of the park, and they keep messing it up!
by saying Amazonian I thought you were actually Amazonian for a second lmao 😂 I got excited (I live right above the Amazonas)
It kinda feels like they had a really good quality control team/person but replaced them with someone who doesn’t care.
I’ve found MiM capsules in the store that have those tags on them, so it’s likely coming from the factory like that. The capsule packaging already has a barcode so who knows why they ALSO need to add tags-as if these toys don’t ALREADY generate enough trash! 😂
@@kitsunebiShake Ya mean Brazil? Amazonas?
Not like wonder woman?
I think the ice was supposed to make up a significant chunk of the volume of the smoothie, which would have then needed less resin maybe? 🤷♀️ And I think the pickles sticker was meant to go on the lid so you wouldn't need to block any pickly goodness. :3
2😅
My daughter and I just did a smoothie and the ice definitely takes up a good portion of the cup. Ours had sliced strawberries and we jammed a bunch down the sides of the cup too.
Crazy how they aren't regulating the resin to make sure there's enough for projects.
I know, right, I think maybe they should get the amount of residents they put in the bottle and then make the project before sending it out. What do you think?
I'm curious to know if the doubles she got also had no resin in them or if its just some of them that are flawed? 🤔
@VanishingRainbow there's a chance. I know Jackie has said that she saves the doubles and extras for future customizations. So I guess in the future we'll see when she does that. Definitely stinks it's happened more than once for her. She's right in saying it shouldn't happen for what they charge for them. I don't buy as many as she does, since I understand she uses them for videos. But I think it shows a more accurate likelihood you will end up having issues or a double if you are a more regular type purchaser of them, only buying one or two at a time.
It makes me so angry!!
I found when I did a few of these I had to cut open the resin jars to get all the resin out for it.
I can only think that with the smoothie, you're meant to mix the resin with as much of the ice as possible, so the fruit bits don't sink, as I can't find any other reason to why there was so much ice and next to no resin?
Mga is currently making their products cheaper for some reason. Even their toys are loosing articulation. I’m not surprised their resin isn’t up to its usual quality.
Meanwhile the price (of the Miniverse) is still ridiculously high
The answer is greed.
I can say I haven't had resin issues exactly, but I do usually have to put the bottles upside down for a solid 5+ minutes and there's typically just barely enough to do the project. Cafe often feels worse in this regard.
I had the same problem with the Lifestyle Eucalyptus Candles. The resin was incredibly thick and I used every method I could think of to heat it up (hot water, hair dryer, heat gun) to get all the resin out. Once I got all the resin out I only had enough for half a candle. I contacted the company about it, and I found out that basically because I hadn’t bought my Miniverse sets from the MGA/LOL site, they couldn’t/wouldn’t do anything about any missing or defective pieces. I got the same answer when I got a Cafe series 2 ball that was a Cherry Slushie, but instead of Cherry resin, it had the resin for the Grape Soda. (I just used it to make a grape slushie).
Wow that’s some bull carp
weird because even if indirectly you still bought from them :/
I couldn't even make the candles because the resin refused to cone out of the bottles, and when I made the cat and other planter set, I had to use my own resin to make sure the dirt and plants wouldn't move. I definitely haven't been very impressed with the miniverse items I've gotten so far, and they're not cheap in terms of price. It's a shame to see the quality has started to tank.
I had the same exact problem with the eucalyptus candles! There was barely enough resin for one candle, and I had to squeeze the bottle SO hard in order to even get anything out. Really disappointing
If the resin doesnt come out quickly enough, try poking a hole in the bottom of the bottle and let it drip down into your project. The "air hole" or "Air Bubble" can be keeping it from coming out of the bottle. LOVE your videos
Also, with the smores, I didn't put the resin between the layers. I did the layers one at a time, and i carefully using a nozzle from a previous kit, put the resin in tiny 'spills' on the outside edge of the pieces. Starting at the top and slowing building downward, like the chocolate bar was melting. It worked great and it held all the pieces together perfectly. I did a smudge near the top of the chocolate bar, to hold the lid Graham on, and then melted the chocolate down the outside. I even gave one piece a little chocolate puddle near one side. Turned out really cute. Then with one of my finished smores I used a mini cookie cutter I made in the shape of a bite for other projects, and cut a bite out of a finished smore, and completely chocolate'd the interior of the bite, and used some white resin from another project to streak the chocolate, so it looks like the bite is a smear of melted chocolate & marshmallow all streaked together where you bit into it! I set the bit aside so if i use it with one of my open-mouthed dolls, I can actually put the bite of smore in his mouth. The bite piece has an arch of chocolate and marshmallow coming off of it. So when I photo him, I can place the rest of the piece in his hand, and line the arch of gooiness up with it so it looks like he took a bite and pulled the smore away leaving a string of marshmallow and chocolate.
That's so cute. Very creative.
calm down
I feel that when brands launch their first series, it's always good because they need a good concept to even get to production. But in viral days, they become famous overnight, demand skyrockets, quality suffers in the process of trying to satisfy this demand. Series are launched one after the other, special editons and whatnot, and the people that worked for years probably on the first series suddently need to bring an even bigger series in just a fews months. It's a shame to see that happen over and over again with most things that are exciting and end up going viral, the love gets lost in the quantity over quality mindset.
And MiniVerse still expanding. They releasing appliances, valentines, and spring series.
Jackie, you should have checked the second bottle of "smoothie" resin to see if that one was empty, too. Maybe it was just the first one?
Just hold the smores sideways under the uv light and it'll cure. Even gel cures under rhinestones somehow, because nail lamps have light coming from the sides too.
The double strawberry banana smoothy would be good to test if some recipes are consistently low.
i'm guessing the whole bag of 'ice' was supposed to get mixed into the resin, which would keep the 'fruit' afloat on top, hence the lesser amount of resin? maybe just enough to coat the sides and top?
Oh but she is the professional. She knew better 😂😂 (I think she gets a little too cocky about her skills sometimes.) Lol love her though. 😊
@@melindarivera6598totally agree!!! She definitely gets that way…
Maybe that works for the smoothie but doesn’t work for the mocha drink. They give you an empty bottle of resin so that one was a complete loss.
@@brandonaston301 oh darn. ok, now i really want to avoid using the resin, and just use paint-coloured school glue method! aka method shown by @myfroggystuff
I had the same issue that you had with the smores kit, but with the burger kit. The instructions say to pour resin in between each layer but they weren't sticking. I ended up having to glob a lot of resin and cure it multiple times under a UV lamp before it would stay together. Obviously, just going by their instructions alone doesn't work well, which is a problem. I haven't had an issue with the amount of resin I get but I have had unusually thick resin, which is difficult to work with. I completely agree about the nozzle thing! Every time I need one, they don't give me one. I ended up taking a nozzle from a project that I didn't need it!
How was your birthday 🎂.
When was her birthday?
@@SomethingHappendWhenThereWas121 i think!
@@ito_aimi8758 yes it was the 21 bc in her advent calendar videos she says comment the number of the date in the comments below and then she says my birthday is on the 21st the darkest day of the year.
Ohh i didn't know! mine was the 20th haha
My is the 12th
Jackie you forgot to put the straw on the first project😂😂
I've had some difficulty getting resin out of some bottles. Some of it comes out very slowly in blobs, then nothing for a couple of minutes, then more comes out just when i think the bottle is empty. Some resin comes gushing out all at once. Before i open the resin, I turn it upside down and roll the bottle between my palms for several minutes. That gets it flowing better. Happy Birthday!!!
I LOVED pickles when I was a tiny little grain. I remember sitting down and eating almost an entire jar of baby dills ... and I haven't been able to eat pickles ever since! 😂
Same thing happened to my mom, she told me about how she used to looove pickles, but after eating one two many she never touches them 😭
Jackie, Zuru is coming out with their own mini resin craft kits! It will be a partnership with Master Chef. You'll get to make mini versions of recipes from Master chef. They even give you a UV light shaped like a chef's hat.
Bet that will cost like $20
Early! Loving the video Jackie! It’s really frustrating to get so cheated out of product 😭 Happy birthday 🎉
I'm not going to lie, the kit, as a whole, was pretty anti-climatic. 😬As for the pickle kit, it was spot on. 😊 By the way, Happy early birthday.🎉
The empty strawberry was the same problem I had with a candle set from the Lifestyle minis I got. I also got the turtle tank and have half a bottle of resin left. lol I laugh about it, but it really does show how bad they're getting with the fill levels.
I was taking a closer look at the instructions there, and I think that was the "right" amount of resin, considering the proportion they were showing with the ice and how you are supposed to mix it all up with the straw. I do agree that it's too thick though... I imagine little kids with their tiny hands trying (and failing) to squeeze it.
Yeah I've gotten 2 cafe series 2. The first one had more than enough resin(hot dog with ketchup), second one(cherry vanilla float) only had enough to fill up the cup half way. Luckily the "ketchup" from my first one is close enough to be used as the drink.
Thank you for always thinking of something even when the kit fails, I really appreciate having something to look at the end, even when the kit disappoints.
I love that Jackie always introduces us to the most crazy miniature things 😮
Between the lack of resin and difficulty squeezing the bottles and too many of the stacked projects like the s’mores and hamburgers that won’t cure I’m loosing interest in mini verse and going back to mini brands lol. I do want the pickle one tho, I love pickles. Some of the ones I got at target also had the tags in them like that.
Jackie really said 'since companies won't give me frozen moments, I'm gonna make my own every chance I get' XP
Belated happy birthday Jackie!! 🎉
Happy birthday, Salty Queen!! 🎂 Well, the dill pickles working in a salty world makes the most sense! 🥒 The other projects were too sweet to start with. That they didn't work does make them salty!! 🧂😂
You can also use a silicone mat (or dish) and put the resin directly on it, "freeze" it, and use those resin strips too! I do this a lot with my projects so I can get the exact shape I want
Hi Jackie! Hope you and your family are doing good and are staying healthy and being safe! As a little grain I used to love the sweet pickles a lot. I've gone through phases of liking dill pickles then not liking them to liking them again. I love garlic dill pickles! I can eat them by themselves as a snack! So, I love the pickles in this set. I think after opening and getting the resin make sure to leave them upside down to help the resin come out.
Happy belated birthday Jackie! I hope it was sweet rather than salty!
I definitely agree with Jackie that they cheap out on the resin for the mini project, which is unfair to anyone wanting to make their own projects themselves 😤😤😤
I LOVE the pickles. I also really love the idea of them switching to a colored glue for the darker projects. I can't help but wonder if the are created by 2 separate companies, because the ingredients are SO detailed it doesn't make sense that the same company would be so lackadaisical with the rest of the product.
Yeah, I feel like there have been several kits like the smores that really need something like tinted mod podge or glue in order to really fully harden. At least us viewers are forewarned now. I’m definitely going to keep my mod podge and acrylics in case I get the smores.
Am I asking for too much or did I expect the pickles to also be a snow globe?
Simple dill pickles are one of the simplest pleasures in life. I could kill for a jar of pickles right now. 😍
😊😊😊😊
Hi Jackie!!! New salt grain..... Happy belated Birthday!! Love your videos....wish I could still get your craft kits....but I understand you only had so many.....but you forgot the straw in the Strawberry banana smoothie! LoL 😂 but came out super cute anyway! Thank you for your content....☘️🐈⬛🌿💜
I realize too late 😆
@@nerdecrafter Maybe you can use some clear resin to have it falling out of the jar via the splash? If you even want to try to fix it lol
Who else misses here mini kitchen because she's been doing a lot of mini verse makes me wonder if she's going to do it, also jackie happy late 🎂 even my family watches Jackie and is wondering if she's going to do her mini kitchen again .so Jackie can you pls do your mini kitchen again pls.
Ah love your videos always so enjoyable and relaxing. In advance Wishing You and Your Lovely Family Merry Christmas 🎄🌹🤍❤️
Hey Jackie firstly just have to say I ❤️ your channel as soon as you post im watching haha Just a little tip for the resin ìf you put it under your leg while your getting everything else set up it will warm the resin and it makes it so much easier to pour it out 😉
Happy Birthday Jackie 🎂🥳🎉
I really liked the mini verse cafe 3. Pickles was my favorite. I didn’t put my resin in and kept it for a future project. I just have my pickles in the tiny jar 😂😂
Happy late birthday Jackie! You’re the best!🎉
Love watching your videos :) keep up the good work
Jackie! The sticker for the dill pickles was supposed to go on top of the lid, not the jar!
Regarding the smores: I would try putting it together in my fingers and holding it together sideways, put stripes of chocolate resin along where the layers meet, and then quickly hold it under the light. And then try do that on all 4 sides. Or just hold it together and put messy chocolate all over the sides.
Hi Jackie. Love watching you get excited with the mini foods. 🙋♀️♥️♥️
jackie i am super curious if the smoothie double has the same resin deficiency or if the first one was just defective
Yay!!! My favorite person on a Friday morning 😀
Me to✌
I opened most of the cafe series 3 recently. I had to put a ton of the shaved ice rocks in it to fill the comtainer because there wasn’t much resin in the bottle. I couldn’t make the mocha drink because that one only used resin and ice cubes and the resin bottle was almost empty. They give you a giant bucket of white resin for the potatoes and bagels funny enough.
Oh yeah and they only gave enough resin for one popsicle
Wow, iv never been this early before. I love these type of mini foods. I'm looking forward to when she gets the shaved ice. It looks soo cool
Jackie is soo talented
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jackie!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎂🎂🎂🎁🎁🎁🎁🎊🎊🎊🎊AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!
❤❤❤
Hm, that's odd, never had any problems with the resin in those projects. Not even the hot chocolate. Did manage to fill both cups/glasses with one jar of the chocolate resin. I bought two of those just in case but turns out I didn't need to open the second one. Admittedly, it took a while to get the resin out of the jar but in the end it was enough to layer the chocolate real nicely.
I love Jackie 😂. She calls tongs tweezers. Silly Jackie, do you pick up food with tweezers in Canada. 😅 OH my gosh I love her.
I’m just imagining how you can decorate a mini house with all these fun project. How exciting! 🎉
Belated Happy Birthday Jackie 🎉✨
Hi I know I was not your first person but I love watching your videos have a good day Jackie thanks for entertaining me
Did you check how much resin was in the duplicate banana smoothie?
im not entirely sure about the resin but i know you can heat it up for a few seconds and itll soften and be easier to get out of the container. I think when its cold it makes it harder to move
There is a lady on youtube who takes these mini food projects, does not use the resin at all and instead she uses some modpodge acrylic paint and sometimes air dry clay to make her minis the way SHE wants them to be. The resin doesn't get wasted, she uses it for doll jewelry 😂 But she has pointed out a lot of th flaws with the sets and makes them work for her. It stinks that resin is a huge part of these kits but since she doesn't like using the resin anyway, it doesn't bother her when its missing or dried up 😂😂😂
Who is the creator?
@@namasteavl MyFroggy Stuff
🎄Jackie time 🎄 my favorite time of day❤
It's interesting that most craft projects provide just enough to bearly do one project. But I'm really curious during these projects can you create your own craft to place on that display using the items provided but doing a completely different theme 🤔
Yeah, not liking how their resin is either. By the way…Happy Birthday, Jackie!! Hope you had a great day!
Lol 😂😂😂😂 love the Jackie confused thing lol ❤❤
I'm excited to see the pickles. However I'm disappointed that the company is shorting out on resin. It's the whole point of the thing. I just got my niece into the kitchen ( we have black out winters in Minnesota too) and more of series 2 balls. She really loves these I want her to keep loving them because I have some one to need out with. however that won't happen if they are going the way they are.
Happy belated birthday Jackie! And I love dill pickles not the butter ones which ironically is always too sweet for me.
Same thing happened to me! I got the candle set in the lifestyle series and I got no resin! It wasn’t fun :(
I LOVE PICKLES! Sweet pickles to be specific 👌
Merry Christmas to you all
Merry Christmas to U too!
so excited omg
Really random, but I am so glad the sponsor was Travel Town. I play the game RELIGIOUSLY and it is so fun. My fave character has to be Mark. He's so goofy and has massive himbo vibes and he's very loveable
I enjoy making miniverse but I've had two sets where there wasn't enough resin so I understand this problem but I do enjoy them ❤
Hi I hope every one is well and has a good holiday
Happy Belated Birthday Jackie!!!! Hope you had a very blessed day!!!!❤❤❤
If you are having a hard time getting the resin out, try cutting the bottle open. I had a hard time and didn’t think they gave me enough, but then I heard someone else cut their bottle open and there was a TON of resin still in the bottle, it was just so thick it wouldn’t come out!
I love your videos Racoon Queen!❤ you are The Queen of all Racoon
Merry Christmas every one
Happy belated birthday Jackie🎉🎉🎂
Maybe you should of checked how much resin was in the double up to see if it a regular problem in a particular item.
Jackie you should create your own mini verse type things, I know if you made one it would be awesome!
love your vids me and my mum watch you every day
Hey Jackie! I’ve said this a couple times before but it’s relevant on this video so I’m gonna do it one last time. But the Valentines Day make it minis are out already and I think you’ll really like at least one of them. So I’m just really excited for you to have a chance to do them for yourself! And 🎂 happy birthday!
NEW MINIVERSE ALERTTTTR!!!!! MINIVERSE APPLIANCESSSS
Jackie didn't realise she forgot about the straw🤣😂🤣😂
Absolutely LOVE pickles!! Usually a good kosher dill is my favourite! Also, been following you for a while and I love your channel! ❤
I LOVE pickles! When I was a lil' grain , my daddy would take me to the corner store and tell me to pick something for a treat~~ I often picked the gigantic pickles that were in a big jar on the counter. People would say, when they saw me eating it " you're gonna make your self sick! " and i would smile and keep eating~~SO good! Nowadays I prefer baby dill and sweet pickles { small cucumbers are really nice } and bread and butter pickles....plus I put a lot of relish in my tuna sandwiches.
I watched someone make a jello mold. It was by far one of the coolest/cutest until I saw the pickles you made. Such a bummer about the kits not having enough resin ☹️. Definitely keeps me from wanting to purchase! Love your videos, my niece recently watched a video of yours with me, she’s 6 and obsessed now. 😅🥰
Happy belated birthday Jackie! U R Amazing! ❤🐿
Hiii so happy to be first for once love your videos 😂❤❤
You should do more freeze dried candy with Sika!
I finished my bears from the figure it out box! It was so much fun. Only suggestion is it would be much easier to hang and work on the bears if they hung the other way.
Happy Belated Birthday, Jackie 🥳🎂
Dill pickles are my jam! I went through almost every brand at our grocery store one year to find my favorites. Only dill tho. I think you could have totally put that label on the lid to save the look!!
love her work
Happy bday Jackie hope it was the best one yet
Looking forward to trying Travel Town, I needed a new little game. Thank you, I'm mid-way through this episode but I'm hoping these pickles redeem the so far bummers .... love to Jackie & kitty editor from Colorado Xx
