Title: Rainbow High?
Post by: Ponyfan on March 12, 2021, 06:57:17 AM
Is anyone in to these?  I've been looking at Amaya Raine for a while.  I love the first one with the platinum and rainbow hair but the cheerleader one with blue hair is also growing on me.  I just found out there are webisodes that go with the series but I haven't watched any of those.

I actually just finished unboxing Ruby. :D

I have the original six, and Krystal on the way. I like the line overall, but I don’t think I’ll be buying any more now that I have the seven rainbow colors. Having to shampoo the goop out of their hair after each unboxing gets old fast (I had to wash Sunny’s hair several times to get rid of the stickiness and lingering “hairspray smell”). Today I had to repair a split in Ruby’s scalp at the hairline, and plug several tufts back in with my rerooting tools and glue... They’re beautiful dolls, but tragically have quality control issues. :shrug:

On the positive side, their clothes are pretty awesome. :) Very detailed with contrasting fabrics and accents. I also love the shimmery face-ups and blushing—it really sets them apart from anything else in the playline doll market. Sunny’s hair color and style seem to be a nod to Sailor Moon, which  wins major points with me as well. :D

Target has a coupon this week that ends today for 25% off a toy in their Circle app.  Amaya Raine with the platinum rainbow hair came home with me today. :D  It's sad that they have bad quality control issues though.   Sunny's hairstyle reminds me of Sailor Moon too.

I am in love with these. So far I have Ruby, Poppy, Sunny, Karma, Jade, Skylar, Krystal, Violet, Kia, Amaya (white hair), and Avery lol. Working on Bella, Stella, River, and Amaya (rainbow hair). But dealing with the fun of factory defects.

I think it's crazy how MGA keeps on riffing on other franchises and now they riff on popstars and not just as a homage but straight up doing a likeness the popstar in question could sue them over because their look is part of their image.

The O.M.G. dolls are more extreme about this copying Lady Gaga, Madonna, Janet Jackson and so on, but Rainbow High has a character that is basically just Billie Eilish (the green one). They are always claiming fair use and parody but I find it super lazy. Having little homages and callbacks is fine. Monster High used to do that, too, back in the day with their popstar monsters. But only the Zombi Gaga doll was a real collab and the others were super toned down "inspired by" cases.

MGA have talented and creative designers yet they love to rely on riffing on celebs a wide audience already knows, therefore making the doll some kind of unlicensed merch.

Is Series 1 the main dolls with 2 outfits?  I've been trying to figure out if the cheerleader dolls count as Series 2  or if they are still part of Series 1. 

The first set of dolls were the main rainbow colors and the newer ones  like Krystal and River are either lighter or darker shades of that?  Skylar represents blue and River is teal.

I've seen a lot of people saying one of the green dolls looks just like Bille Elish.

I love Rainbow High, started collecting them in the Fall. I have everyone except River so far, not the cheer line though. I like to get one of each character unless they're drastically different like Amaya. I'm super excited to see what series 3 looks like.

I love their eyes.

Yes I'm a fan of RH!

I was a fan since they leaked at that convention, and while I'm not as die hard as I am with other brands, I still really like them!

I have wave 1 Violet, and I'm planning on on getting Winter Break Violet when (or even if) she's released in Aus!

Aside from Violet, I like Kia (Im a sucker for pink and hearts) but she wasn't imported to my country unfortunately.

Have you guys seen the promo images for series 3? I'm interested in them but I wanna see the dolls before I decide to buy any.

Like Freezestime, I've been a huge fan of RH since their prototypes were revealed!
Truly the best clothing quality you can find on current playline dolls, ad I'm a sucker for unnatural hair and the fact that the web series is produced right here in little ol' QLD? :heart:

I actually do quite a bit of fanart for this line as well haha, my own characters as well as my own set ideas, I'll put them below the cut though so I won't clog up the page XD

Spoiler

My RH self-insert, hair length only mildly exaggerated XD

I personally kinda feel the same about a lot of their clothes. I don't like the whole "designer casual" thing they wear most of the time but there is the occasional party dress (usually paired with a logo tee that has to go) that I dig. I'm excited for the runway dolls because I know they will have gorgeous formal style dresses.

I have seen others on Instagram put them in Barbie clothes so that might be an option. Especially the newer stuff that's meant to fit Curvy Barbie.

Thanks for the sugestion about the Barbie clothes. I'll have to look into styles for that type and also keep an eye on new releases of RH in case some come out with clothes I like.

Yep, I love these. I preordered Jett on amazon.

My local walmart has just put up 2 of the winter dolls this week. They've also got the car up on shelf but I may put a hard pass on that kinda stuff unless it's one day on sale. They've also marked out a location for some other dolls but they haven't put up the stock yet.

Not sure what kinda nonsense goes on at my local walmart with leaving whole sections blank but other sections they leave the toys up and put the sales price on the shelf.... Another example, they have a sale section and they've put some of the cheer dolls but they've got them marked to $24.25...uhhh...that's more than they're original price. So clearly we have people working at my walmart who can't read or cross-reference prices for items. Heck, every other walmart is marking stuff down for $10 and my still has series 1 at original price depending on the doll.

But on a different markdown they had the nanana teen dolls for $10 each, which was a good buy considering originally they're going for over 20, close to 30 in some cases.

I have found that some barbie clothes fit them, so that's a win and I purchased a really cute dress off etsy for one of mine. I'll have to take some pics once I get them all unboxed. Right now my Rainbow High/Nanana Surprise shelf is a bit unorganized but I just haven't had a chance to set it all up yet.

Oh well.

Ponyfan, the closet looks cool, I saw someone do an unboxing on youtube. Seems like it's kind of expensive from what others are saying on FB and youtube.

I'm more in to the dolls so the closet doesn't do much for me. I agree it's expensive for what you get.

I fell for Krystal first.  Her purple hair, silver stars and blue eyes remind me a lot of Glory.  Then, I found cheerleader Skyler has a unicorn decal on her jacket.  So cute! And their hair is so amazing and soft.  I’m kind of stuck in blue and purple mode.

Ponyfan, that’s a great find! $200 is a lot but I’ve already seen the twins on discount at Walmart for $25.  So I’m guessing the house may be discounted too one day.

I also found Jett discounted at $30 at Walmart.  I wanted her clothes but, eh I kind of regret it.  I’m trying to keep my collection small… and keep failing!   :(

It’s Georgia I really want.

I really hope not.  That would be so unfair... and kind of silly on their part.

I am really looking forward to the Slumber Party dolls especially the pink one.  She looks so comfortable.  I also like the Rockstar dolls but, I have no need for their instruments.  And for some reason, I can almost smell the cigarettes. It's kind of off-putting.  That's been my experience with clothes that look like theirs so I'm hoping I'll get over it because I love Carmen and Vanessa.

Here are my two latest:

Well that’s weird.  You can get her on Amazon now but I know that defeats the thrill of picking out your own.  I hope you get a chance to own her.  I don’t regret getting her at all.


https://www.youloveit.com/dolls/1747-rainbow-high-series-3-dolls-ice-mint-rose-orchid-marigold-and-peach.html

I’m not in the mood to buy new dolls but I’m pretty shocked that the new giant doll is $100.  Maybe I’m just jaded I know you get a lot with her, but I guess I’m used to companies trying to keep the price points down.

Title: Re: Rainbow High?
Post by: Ponyfan on October 03, 2021, 07:46:30 PM
I noticed that a lot of the stores in my area have a lot of the older dolls in stock so I'm starting to think that might be a factor why I can't find Georgia.  When I bought Daphne I had to dig through several rows of the older dolls to find her. 

Georgia must have just been added to Amazon. She wasn't there when I looked before.  I'll keep checking though.  If I can't find her I will get one from Amazon.


I don't understand the $100 doll either.  I know it's bigger but it doesn't seem worth that much to me.

great minds think alike. I bought Georgia also. I found the new ones this weekend.

I bought Georgia and Gabrielle Icely.

I haven't opened very many of my RH dolls yet, I still have a majority of them still in the box. I'm just lazy and need to finish reorganizing my shelf for them but I just don't feel like it so I'll get to it eventually.

I just watched a review of the giant 24" doll on youtube. It's pretty and it looks like the quality is really good but I don't know if i want to spend $100 on a RH doll that is 24"!!!! I would rather send that much on a Ellowyne :/ so maybe if I see one on discount at some point but not the full hudduddolla.

I don't understand the $100 doll either.  I know it's bigger but it doesn't seem worth that much to me.

I did just see a review of the giant doll.  It has working zippers and real metal parts which is pretty unusual.  It looks really amazing and huge.  I don't think she's for me but I'm really impressed.

Guess who I found at Target this week?  Georgia. :lovey:  :lovey:  I was so happy that Target had her in stock.  She came home with me.

I also saw Gabriella and Emi.

I found the giant Amaya today at Target.  I think she is $80.  She's much bigger than I thought she'd be.

I started to crop out the stuff around her but left it in because it shows a good perspective on how big she really is.

Does anyone know if the big Amaya is as articulated as the smaller dolls? If she is I need to start watching for her to go on sale.

I think one of the reviews I watched showed she was articulated but I don't know if it's the same as the smaller, or if it has all the same points of articulation. I didn't even realize my small dolls has a upper thigh that could rotate till I was messing around with the out of box doll I bough off mercari and was trying to make her sit.

I did find the gold slumber party doll on Tuesday at a different walmart but she was the only one of the 3 slumber party dolls they had.

I also saw some of the new dolls at Best Buy, I almost bought one but decided to wait.

I have four of the dolls so far, Bella, Jade, River, and cheerleader Rubywith plans to track down another Ruby or Bella for customizing purposes. Customizing was the original reason I purchased any of these dolls but after playing with them I like them too much to customize my current girls like I was originally going to.I've been thinking about getting the other Ruby so my current Ruby can steal her clothing while I customize her.
If I'm able to find out more about the larger girl that I like I might have to snag her for customizing.

Has anyone else customized their Rainbow High? I've heard they can be a little tricky.

I actually bought a lot on mercari with the intention of making some customs. But I have yet to do anything. Really, I'm more inclined to do just hair and maybe makeup, not anything crazy. I've seen some pretty dye jobs people have done. In the lot I got 2 or 3 doubles of dolls I already have, although I'm debating that I may just keep a couple of my girls in box and just use these out of box to redress, etc.

One of the dolls is Bella Parker so she has that light pink hair. Soooo, I may try to dye her hair. I haven't yet decided what color to do yet, or I'm more thinking of trying a couple colors, sorta do a half and half fade from her light pink do a darker color on the ends, etc.

One of the other doubles is jade, and I'm thinking I may try to take her hair out and reroot something.

Either way, future crafing plans :)

Post by: TwistedRiver on October 19, 2021, 03:25:23 PM
Bella was the one I originally bought to do a full custom on but now I've grown fond of her so I am going to need a double if I'm customizing. xD

I saw Brianna and Robin the other day but not the 3rd doll in the Slumber Party set.  I didn't realize that they would be about the same price as Jet but it makes sense since they come with the pillow and sleeping bag along with the extra outfit.

I'm sorry the pic of Robin is blurry.  I didn't realize it until after I left the store.

I didn't get any dolls for Christmas (sad). I did managed to get the slumber party gold and blue dolls but still haven't found the pink one  yet.

I just saw some pictures of the 'summer' dolls coming out for 2022. Here is a link, this site shows a lot of toys and dolls coming out and they usually have really great pictures.

I know I'm behind on the releases of these but in what may have been a moment of weakness I may have finally bought myself the Collectors Edition Jett.

SinisteaParty that's how I got mine. There was some damage to the box but as soon as I had her box out of the Amazon box I was getting her free so it didn't matter much to me. I'm not an in box collector so all of my toys get freed with the exception of one James from Pokemon figure but that's only because he was a gift and a double.

Somehow my walmart managed to get Pheadra, so I bought her last night. I did see that they also have the pool but they've put it way up on the top shelf. I like it but I don't have room for a playset like this so I'm not gonna be buying it.

I'm still trying to find the 'pink' slumber party doll. My walmart has plenty of the 'blue/cyan' doll. Sorry I can't keep up with the names right now (LOL). I have the blue/cyan and gold already.



Title: Re: Rainbow High?

I'm starting to wonder if some places got Brianna, the pink slumber party doll while others got Marissa, the gold one.  I'm not sure if I ever saw Marissa in stores (If I did it was only once) but I saw a few Briannas and a lot of Robins. 

I really wanted Lily Cheng but she's out of my price range. :(

I have two Targets I can go to and lately one store seem to have tons of one character and none of the others.  While the other store has tons of the other characters and none of that one.   It's like the boxes didn't actually have an assortment of dolls when they were distributed.  The website doesn't help either.  It said one store had lots of Harper but there was only Pheadra who was not mentioned.  The other store had the blue Pacific doll and she isn't on the website at all. 

I did get Pheadra.  She is so pretty and I especially love her with her hair down.
Title: Re: Rainbow High?
Post by: Ponyfan on January 22, 2022, 07:04:41 PM
I've only seen Hali and Pheadra so far.  Every store that near me that has Pacific Coast dolls only has either one of the two or both. 

I've noticed at Target that the app/website sometimes mixes up dolls from the same line.  The app once told me there were no Gabriella dolls in the store yet I found her on the shelf.  The Target I checked today had a lot of the Rock Star dolls and a few Winter Break dolls.  I haven't seen the light up pool yet.

I don't have plans for more until Shadow High.  Phaedra, Harper, Sheryl and Carmen are my current favorites.  I didn't think I would get Sheryl once I saw her in stores.  She looked ok but not to my tastes and I try to only get two from each line.  But weeks later I saw one that I couldn't leave behind.  That was a nice surprise.  I'm not sure if that's how she's suppose to look but I like it.

I just saw the Shadow High doll images. They look nice but the fashion style is like RH and I was hoping for something more unique, not based on “luxury” brands. It really is like an extension as opposed to a new line. I like the boy a lot though and am still interested to see unfiltered images. I feel like there still may be a particular RH doll or line that will lure me in eventually but I’ve resisted so far. I’m still surprised MGA was able to use the name Shadow High as it was already used by Mattel for a crossover book between MH & EAH.

I actually like the shadow high because it seems like a really bold move and something about it feels cool and different. I think it would be fun to photograph them and I just find them interesting and different.

I miss Bleeding Edge Goths. They weren't meant for kids but they had authentic goth looks for the time. Would be cool if anything like that would make a return but I fear any darker themes in playline dolls vanished together with the mainstream popularity of vampire romance (and doll-wise, Monster High).

I finally saw them in person and ended up with Nicole.  She is so pretty. Her hair doesn't have that pinkish color as the stock photos show.  It's multiple shades of gray and very soft. No product.  It's so shiny and glittery it looks like it has tinsel but it doesn't. I've been admiring it for half the day.  Her clothes are also of surprising quality and detail. I'm not a sporty person, but I have to admit I'm more likely to wear clothes like hers because I like the option of being able to run and skip.

I think the other dolls are also quite pretty.  I haven't seen Shanelle yet.  Her dress is my favorite thing about her.  But Heather looked amazing.  I especially love Luna's alien look.  It reminds me of the original Star Trek.  Maybe that's not what they were going for but, I think it's fascinating.  It makes me wish Ash had pointy ears and wore a uniform.  I'd buy him then.

I also saw series 4 on YouLoveIt.com.  I think Burgundy is my favorite, then orchid.  But who knows in person.

All of those dolls sound nice to me and I've heard a lot of good things about them. 

My favorite is Harper but it's all about personal preference.  Harper is my favorite because I like her hair texture and face.  Her outfit also seems like something she could wear off the beach and that appeals to me.

Phaedra's hair is long and silky.  Plus, the colors are so stunning.  She is my 2nd favorite.

My 3rd favorite is Bella.  I don't actually own her but she looks beautiful in owner photos.  I really like her hat and swimsuit.  I want to buy her but I don't want to buy 3rd favorites.  Maybe if she goes on discount.

The others also all get pretty good reviews so it really depends on what you like.  If you're really torn, you might just be happy with whoever you get.

These dolls are pretty addictive.  It's not only the dolls and their long hair, but their clothes are generally nice too.

I broke my only one or two from each line with Shadow High.  I wasn't going to get Heather but so many people love her that I brought one home.  She looks pretty incredible out of box.  Same with Shanelle.  I think I'm going end up with all of them aside from the boy.  He's cute too though.

Cost us 22.00 plus 3.40 delivery.

Lila is my favorite in this group. :D I'll be getting her for sure.  I don't follow the cartoon but it looks like Ainsely is transfering to Shadow High?

It's series four, you can see it on the box on top of their names.
I don't watch the show either (unsure if I should watch it) but yes Ainsely is transferring, to Shadow High. And I'm pretty sure Deliah was supposed to have that name, buttercup is just her color.

Nice job Ponyfan!

I also don't follow the show.   I watched one or two episodes but, I don't like the concept very much.  Also heard there will be a Shadow High 2 and Rainbow High 5. 

I really wanted Ainsley and her clothes.  On my first visit to Target, there was only Deliah. I didn't intend to get her but I was caught up in the excitement and I really love her bee theme.   She looks like she has a cold sore though.  It's ok,  no one's perfect.  2nd visit to Target and I found my Ainsley.  Love her.  Now I have to restrain myself because there are sooo many of them that I like.

Thanks for the pics freezestime. :)  I hope that the dolls continue to come with the 2nd outfit but if they're trying to cut costs I can see why the outfit has to go.

I found Rainbow High shoes at Target today.

Great find on the accessories.

I want all those sneakers and the black boots with writing on them.  But there are others I don't care for so I'm not happy they're blind boxes.


I'd also like the Novi Stars Rainbow High girl.  She looks like she might be great.

I am also excited for the Halloween dolls in October.  Bella and Robin look really nice.  I might get them right away if I like them in person.

I have been bravely trying to resist getting into these for a while now, and I am still resisting, although I am fascinated by Natasha and the whole concept of the Shadow High dolls.

Fortunately for my wallet Natasha is nowhere in stock anywhere in my near vicinity. I love the concept of Shanelle as well, but I'm kind of put off by her outfit and the painted swirls on her brow.

I really don't have space for another collection, and I know how it ended up with MH (which I successfully resisted for 5 years, LOL), so I'm currently lurking and enjoying all your pictures xD.


I like Lila's second outfit but I've told myself I would want to play with her hair, and yet would feel guilty taking it down.

 I saw her official colour listed as mauve btw, but surely it's wisteria? Can someone confirm? I'm assuming because that's the kanji (fuji) on her skirt. Kind of nice to branch away from the stereotypical sakura if so.

 I also *really* like Delilah, both concept and appearance, but again, the temptation to play with her hair when it's so beautiful already has held me back so far.

I managed to walk past series 1 and 2 but I do like some of the dolls in series 3, 4 and the SH line. I suspect one or two may sneak in eventually.

*back to lurking and picture admiring*

Post by: Ponyfan on September 24, 2022, 03:04:37 PM
Lila is my most wanted RH right now, but I feel like I can't spend the money to buy her due to my tight budget.

I love Junior High Amaya too since she has the platinum hair with the rainbow streaks.  My first RH doll was the deluxe Amaya with the extra hair colors. :D

YEss...YESSS...come over to the dark side, we have rainbows and greyscale dolls.

Sadly I don't resist and have a ton of boxed dolls I need to open as well as random saves RH from flea markets and yard sales and mercari lots. I reorganized my bratz dolls and made a free shelf for rainbow high and nanana dolls, but sadly I haven't had time to properly organize them to display or I'd take pictures.

Some of the shadow high are on sale here right now, I think a couple of them at my walmart are marked down to $21something. My walmart is a bit weird sometimes on how it prices things. They have one doll, I forget who I think it is Georgia Bloom, they have the discount sticker set at $28 something...well that's not on sale LOL. It's like the worker in charge of this isn't really 'thinking', because if they actually looked they'd know it's more than what the original price was at my walmart.

I can keep an eye out for you if you want since sometimes the discount does make sense. I forget who but I bought right now but I purchased one for like $11 when they actually did discount properly. My walmart kind of has an overstock of the shadow high right now, so potentially I could get one at a really good discount when they put them on sale.

Or anyone else, I can always keep an eye out if folks are looking for particular dolls they can't find or either can't get in their country, etc.
Title: Re: Rainbow High?
Post by: Taffeta on October 05, 2022, 06:24:21 AM
It's frankly the PRICE of them that's so terrifying. £30 is a lot of money even when the exchange rate is not in a good shape, and some are even appearing in stores at £46. It's only a little bit more expensive to try and buy one from the US with shipping - if the exchange rate was normal, it would probably be cheaper.

But I found a bunch of unused amazon tokens while I was tidying up. I tend to put them on one side after a holiday, and then they gather up, so...I may have stepped into the dark side juuust a little.

*innocently brushes hair*

You are also a very bad influence on me, Uni :P Although I love you for it too :P

On the holiday doll...it seems a bit plain given the effort put into some of the other releases? I'm not knowledgeable enough to comment much more though.

Does this mean a Rainbow High doll has made their way in to your home? :D  Was it Lila?


It's hard to stop once you get started.  I said I would only get Amaya at first but less than a week later I wanted Sunny and then there were more RH dolls that joined the first 2.


Nothing about the holiday doll seems special to me.  It looks like they took an ordinary RH doll, took away the extra clothes and accessories and just put her in a box with a special edition label just to make more money.

Now I'm very curious.


I've been shopping for the girls I already own.  I don't really want to buy all the dolls.  There are just too many and they are pricey.  But I love the outfits and I've found that while they aren't cheap either... they're still a lot less expensive than buying the dolls.

I also love, love, love the cat motif of the Neon Shadow line.

My favorite line so far is Shadow High. 2nd is Series 3.  3rd is Pacific Coast.  How about everyone else?

Post by: Taffeta on October 08, 2022, 10:39:37 AM
I'm going to confess that it's been a stressful few weeks, and I've officially broken.

Finding the Amazon vouchers the other week somehow led to a couple of home invaders knocking at the door and demanding to be brushed and dressed and displayed on my doll shelf. You know how that is.

Then I stumbled by coincidence on a homeless and preloved invader, wearing mismatched shoes and no earrings. She demanded I take her home with me. Well, I thought. What harm could that do? It's cold and rainy outside, so it would be rude to refuse her...

I just happened to be in Smyths this morning and noticed that several of the dolls were on discount.

...And the rest is history.

I am now the proud owner of five Rainbow High dolls.

And I regret nothing.

I would like to ask advice, though...if you have a doll whose hair styling you like but don't want her hair to be stuck full of hair product, what's the best way to go about removing it?? I don't want to completely remove her original styling.

On lines - I'm still unmoved by all of wave 1 and wave 2. I like 2/3 of wave 3 and wave 4. I like a couple of the Shadow High dolls. I've not see the Pacific High ones to comment on them. The neon SH dolls are in galactic levels of price range and so I'm pretending not to see them.

That about sums it up.

I just checked my RH dolls and it looks like I have more dolls from Series 3 than the other ones.   :)  I tend to fall in love with a few dolls in each series instead of the whole set.  I still want Lila.

Congrats Taffeta! 5 at once… that’s… not what I thought you were going to do. 

For hair, I used a little spray bottle with water on Chrystal and gently brushed and rubbed off the glue.  But, it was a long process.  My time probably would have been better spent just washing it and putting the hairstyle back.

In my defence, it wasn't so much 'at once'. It was over a couple of weeks. At least, the vouchers make it seem that way. Not my money, you know *innocent face*.

I am guilty this morning though. I was intending on getting only one.

I'm not really on top of all of their names, but the one I'm dealing with is Delilah, who has quite loose curls. I had some luck getting a damp cloth on the more solid sections, and she looks fine, but I don't really like them having the stuff in in case it ends up cracking in the future. I've seen ponies suffer from that :/

I heard MGA put stuff in the RH dolls hair so it would look good in the box. All of mine are still in their boxes so I can't really help with how to remove the styling product they put in there, but I've heard it can be a difficult task to get it all out.


Edit: I finally saw a few of the Costume Ball dolls.  I didn't get their names

but here are the ones I found at Walmart.

OY! Taff...welcome to the club (LOL).

My addiction is bad, but I did manage to get the costume ball Fairy, I want the cat/werewolf whatever she is...cause honestly at this point I can't keep up with the names. I also want to get the vampirish one as well but didn't see either of them. I did see the girl with the spiderweb dress at the same walmart I purchased the 'Fairy', however though I did like her, she looks very similar to one of the slumber party dolls. I'm sorta more interested if they're really different from the other dolls.

I managed to buy a few at yard sales/flea markets as well. So I have a few that need fixing up. Right now, most of mine are still in box, not necessarily because I want them to be but because I just don't have time right now to open them. Though, like for example the fairy, the box is so nice for display in how it's made I'm a bit hesitant to remove her. I almost feel like I can keep her in box and potentially later I'll find one out of box for a much cheaper price, even though it might be played with or even in a lot of other dolls. So I do think some of them I may keep in box, especially some of the special editions that the box plays into the whole design.

I actually like the holiday doll, but haven't seen her in person, but I really like the white on white design sooo, I will probably get her. I think maybe what they could have done to make her more interesting was to make the dress an actually rainbow fabric of some kind, but I kinda see what they were going for with the design.

I really like the fact that they are willing to try different things with rainbow high, and the idea of a fashion doll coming with extra fashion came from bratz but at least this company get's the idea of a 'fashion doll'.

Like the grayscale design dolls (shadow high). I mean, who would have thought a gray doll would be interesting...

I am determined to be circumspect :) I spent a few days in London and saw lots of dolls but didn't bring any back with me. Most were skiing (?) dolls anyway.

I was trying to find Daphne but of course she's the one doll not in stock anywhere I go looking *lol*.

@Uni, I read that the fairy is pale blue, and that's her theme? Like ice blue? She looks like her hair is white like Natasha's in the photos I've seen.

These are definitely more fun if you can play with the hair :)

I snagged a loose Lila with her hair down from Ebay just before I went away, and she was waiting for me when I got back. She has all her accessories as far as I can see. She's had her spa day now, so I thought I'd share a picture of my dolls as they are now.

I am still debating what to do with Delilah's hair because I like her loose curls but next to the others they do look a bit manufactured.

I redid Daria's hair completely, and Lila's of course. I haven't done much with Meena's at the moment, and Sheryl (who was the second hand interloper) still needs hers fixing as well).

With Natasha, I took out her single tail and put in two because it was cuter. Otherwise I've mostly left her hair alone.

I changed the default outfits on Daria, Natasha and Lila because I like them better. Sheryl came to me in that outfit, with the socks and shoes of her original, but I don't like her default outfit so I'm ok with it. Why does she have SO MUCH hair, though? It must be massively gelled down in the box because it doesn't look like that much :/

In any case, these are my dolls. :D
Title: Re: Rainbow High?
Post by: brightberry on October 19, 2022, 12:29:48 PM
Wow! I love what you did with Lila's hair.  I've been skipping her because it always looks like a gelled mess.  Very cute!  All of your dolls look perfect.

Rainbow high hair is why I love these dolls so much. Lots of colorful, thick and silky hair.

Thank you!

I was determined not to get Lila unless her hair was already taken down. I was lucky, aside her fringe, this one didn't have any residual gel left in her hair. It does look like the boxed ones have quite a lot of it :/ Also I think she looks odd with the hair in the braids - she's much prettier without them. She was also a lot cheaper, as she wasn't marked up by her name on the auction, just as a rainbow high doll. I was quite impressed given she has all of her outfit pieces, and is only missing her comb and maybe one hair ribbon (I'm not sure if she is meant to have one or two of those).

I like the spider girl from those pics, Ponyfan, but I already know the special edition dolls are way out of my price range.

Post by: Taffeta on November 01, 2022, 01:17:18 PM
I had my covid vaccine on sunday, which resulted in a few things happening.

One of these was that I legit sat and watched one and a half yt season eps of RH - in part because I was looking for clues about how to do Sheryl's hair, in real because my brain was zapped and I didn't feel like looking for something more intelligent to watch.

I have a lot of thoughts about this animation, not least that
Spoiler
It's a bold choice to expel and replace one of your main cast about 5 eps in, though I still don't know why she got brought back later and is now irrelevant)

and
Spoiler
They are all ridiculous overachievers with completely unrealistic attainments in their grade school past, and some of them are impossibly shallow and really unrelateable to anyone outside that slim slither of people who have make up charts for brains

Not to mention
Spoiler
People talking in hash tags just makes me feel like some old people trying to be cool for the kids and not succeeding. I cringe every time. I realise I'm old, technically speaking, but does anyone in the RH age bracket - or target bracket - actually speak in hashtags and emojis? Do they literally go around saying, "Wow, hashtag life goals, happy face emoji?" If so, I fear for the future of civilisation.

but
Spoiler
While I don't like the doll for Jade, I do think her character is one of the more solid of the main troup, and I also liked that Poppy explained her music talent as synesthesia.

I am totally over the
Spoiler
catty power trip trope, though. The twins are meh. The other twins are meh. How about we stop glamourising bullying, and especially girl on girl bullying of this kind? We've all lived through it, but that doesn't mean it has to be front and centre in what the teenage girls of the future see in their fandoms.


Also, a side note, why are the cool special edition dolls not sold here? I'm not interested in Kya, or Jett, not really - but there are some others, like the drummer from the band (Vanessa)? and the slumber Robin that are very pretty. I suppose it saves me money, the exchange rate is awful right now.

From what I've seen, Rainbow High seems like an incredibly stressful learning environment. While I think pressure is a good thing in moderation, it's not great for learning new concepts/skills.   I also think the dolls are cute, but their giant heads looks so weird animated.


I got Jett early on when she came out because for some reason, Walmart had her in the clearance section for $20.  But the other special editions are just a bit too much.

I saw Jett in store in London, I'm pretty sure I've seen her here on clearance, but I'm not especially interested in her.  I think there are probably too many special editions, and the price point here is generally nuts (I mean, compared to the photos Ponyfan posts with pricetags and the amazon.com prices, they're nuts). That all said, it would be nice to have the full range to choose from, rather than selective distribution. Always a pet bugbear for me with any toyline.

On the show,
Spoiler
No kidding on the pressure, it's an unhealthy environment from the get go. The whole thing with expelling Bella because she broke rules was absolutely ruthless. The teacher expelled her in front of the class and then brought in her replacement immediately. Awkward. They did make a good point about sharing private information online with Violet and her influencer junk broadcasting Bella's expulsion on her channel - and the backlash. That was maybe a good message caught up in there - but it didn't go anywhere much after that.

I also feel like there's some element of 'trying to harness the mane 6 character tropes'. Sunny definitely borderlines Pinkie Pie vibes from time to time.
 

The only other thing I have to say is,
Spoiler
I wasn't quite sure what Stella's accent is, but from the brief flash of fake-cockney in her stage audition, and her unfamiliarity with dollars, I guessed she might be 'British'. I had to google it. Apparently I was right, but the voice artist is from California, and her accent sounds American to me :/.

'Posh' and 'lives in a castle' are massively overdone stereotypes, too. Even Jem had that trope, with Jetta, although in her case it was an elaborate lie designed to fool Pizzazz, and not something authentic.

Stella's name is Monroe. They could have made something of that, dug into Celtic heritage, actually been original - since I'm pretty sure it's a Scottish name. So much missed opportunity to make her interesting and original.

While on the bandwagon of things I'm over - stereotyped British characters with faked accents and zero depth. Please MGA. I realise this is not a great work of animation genius, but young minds are watching. It's already been done. Try harder.

Well.... I broke down. Prettttty quickly actually.
I was trying to hold out on buying any of these dolls, to see what was going to be the news on that blue "Novi Stars" SH alien girl...
But then I found THIS girl. I had not seen her before.
She reminds me of my favourite band, but not only that, she is STUNNING and I love every single little thing about her theme. As soon as I saw her, I watched 1 unboxing vid & bought her on the spot.
I got her for $30 USD flat! She was on sale and for some reason I had a $5 Amazon coupon? O.o No idea why but I frequently make trial accounts to use Prime so maybe it's related to that... XD

(my work desk, it's a mess, sorry lol. I plan to take more photos of her in a bit)

I... am. in. LOVE. @.@ I've had her for a few days now and I can't stop staring at her and messing with her pose & hair! She is absolutely one of my overall fave dolls now for sure & definitely hogging all the attention right now, despite all my new G3 MH dolls! XD I am literally obsessed with her.

Their clothes and accessories are SO adorable, I love all the extras. I dressed her like this to make her look more like she's themed around my fave band and had planned it before she got here, but her extra clothes are so cute too, and I've been trying to figure out who out of my other dolls I can shuffle them around to. Still not sold on ALL of their faces, and the side profile is still something to get used to, but seriously someone send help because I'm already hovering around the page for the Shadow twins & the spider girl... >.> She was the gateway drug...
I couldn't stop looking at the others today and before I knew it I had a full page of bookmarks.
Please.
I beg of ye.
Send.
HELP.
@.@

Congrats on your new girl Esbayne.  :D  I think RH dolls must multiply when you're not watching them as one seems to suddenly turn in to 5.   ;)


I saw this set on as an early Black Friday deal at Walmart on Thursday.  It took me a minute to realize that it's the Junior High versions of the girls instead of their high school selves. It was $70.  I didn't buy it though.

Esbayne, I totally understand your breaking down with her. I love all three of that set, but they're so expensive here. I did snatch Uma, the blue one, on random sale on Amazon.

I understand the gateway thing. *eyes shelf* We won't talk about how I went from one to five. I'm mostly using unspent vouchers though, which is helping me to justify it a bit more.

Glitch looks like she might be an interesting doll, if she actually has chains in her hair.

The JH Jade is in Asda in town. They only have Jade, none of the others. She's kind of cute, but I'm avoiding the JH ones. Jade is a great character, imo, but I am not sold on the green yet. If I did get her, I think it would be a s/h one down the line, not from new.


Speaking of vouchers, now I have a dilemma.

Some years back (say 5) I had a bunch of vouchers from a big deal store (name withdheld) as part of a loyalty bonus for renewing my tenancy in London. We're talking a 3 figure voucher balance. Great, right?

 The problem is I rarely shop at this store. It sells expensive stuff, and I don't really like expensive clothing, I feel like I want to wear stuff that is nice but comfortable and not going to give me spasms if I accidentally get soy sauce on it (it happens). So I have only used a little bit of the voucher balance. I have an awesome coat from that place (a £125 coat reduced down to £30 and then free with my voucher) which I love, and a couple of other things. But in 5 years I still have over half of the voucher value remaining.

Yesterday I discovered they sold RH dolls.

So I decided to use some of the remaining balance to buy one of the expensive dolls.

The problem is...WHICH ONE.

Green Shadow High musician? Pink Shadow High musician? Or rainbow high diva with the tight gold curls (although her personality is frankly disgusting, so maybe I can use that in my inner turmoil).

I have enough for more than one on the voucher, but I don't want to blow the whole balance. I'm looking at this as a Christmas present kind of thing.

How to choose o.O.

Title: Re: Rainbow High?
Post by: brightberry on November 13, 2022, 12:31:26 PM
@Taffeta That's a hard choice! I love both the green and the gold girl.  I don't have either and I don't think I could choose between them.

Thank you all so much on my green girl!! <3

Also, congrats on your vouchers, Taff, that's so exciting!! <3 Definitely tossing my vote in for the green one! The gold ones is stunning, too though!

(also so glad to know I'm not alone in not remembering their names very well. XD I renamed my gal.)

I compared the JH set to the one from last year.  Last year's set had 6 dolls and included Poppy (orange).  This year's set excludes her.  I don't own any of the JH dolls, but aren't they slightly smaller than the High school girls?  I'm trying to figure out why Poppy is missing.

The green one definitely did it! I'm jealous, Esbayne. I don't think they sell that doll here. I know there's another version of her, or one with very similar colours, but she doesn't seem to be here, either. Amazon lists her as something like £125 so I'm like, no thank you...

 I am leaning towards the green one as well. I blame Esbayne entirely for this. But there is another reason. I was playing around with Uma after washing the gel out of her hair (it has taken so long to try -.- she has so much hair) and I had a sudden thought. And it kind of went...a bit...out of control...

Basically she ended up 'Makin' Mischief'.

I was originally going to dress her in Stormer's proper outfit, but aside a spare IT one I couldn't find my loose doll's outfit. None of my misfits are wearing their own clothes, most are wearing either fashions or stuff I made for them. BUT this one is Stormer's in the show and fits her colouring.

Some notes.

Jem dolls are taller. That's a challenge with a jumpsuit.

The sandals didn't really fit.

Uma has a LOT OF HAIR.

So I am going to put her back in her original clothing, she's still undressed atm as I want her hair completely dry before I mess with that. However, that made me think about the green girl again, who is a singer...;)

I know that probably the neon haired girl...is her name Karma? would be a better fit, but...I'm not really wild about her, dollwise.

It's sad about Poppy in that set. I think she's one of the prettier dolls from the main group. It seems odd to miss her out. I'm also wondering why in that 4 set you posted before, Ponyfan, it includes the characters it does. I understand Natasha as she seems to recur a lot in the animation, but the others are a bit mysterious to me...
Title: Re: Rainbow High?
Post by: Ponyfan on November 16, 2022, 01:24:12 PM
@Taffeta,

I love what you did to Uma. :D She's very pretty and I can see Stormer in her when she's dressed like that.


Here's another multiple doll set.  This one was at Sam's (warehouse store)

It's $120.  Again, I'm wondering why these dolls were picked to be sold together.

Do you wonder if they just had excess stock lying around?

I don't see any of these multipacks here though I would probably ignore them in any case because wow that's a lot of money and a lot of dolls all in one go, and no second outfits.

...editing because I did a double take on that photo and realised that Daphne at least is wearing her second outfit o.O. That's pretty weird, isn't it? Are the others also in their 2nd outfits??

DO ITT! DO EET!! *cheers on*  :cheer:
And ahhh I'm sorry to hear they don't sell her there!! D: I hope she shows up for you soon! That's so bizarre they'd exclude only her from the SH musician girls. They're all so stunning.... @.@

Also your restyled Uma is so cute!! <3

Which... Brings my to my next topic...
Now I blame YOU, Taffeta!! XD

Uma... Has followed me home. >.> And it appears she brought Lila as a friend... (Which I also blame you for, Taff!! XD But also, I had to jump on her, I loved her and ho-hummed about getting her forever, but she seems to be disappearing on clearance everywhere and I'm not sure they'll restock her, because she apparently sparked some sort of controversy...)

(my bf thought Uma was so cool for her guitar! Actually if I'm being honest, that's the part that got me to buy her. XD It's a replica of a very famous heavy metal musician's guitar, & her style also just screams "Judas Priest," another metal band I got to see live, so I had to. XD The part that was getting me was her pink lips- But I think I may paint them. I am just not a fan of pink thrown into a color scheme willy nilly)

So. Now I have two RH, and 6 SH. *hides*
Granted, two were a gift, I got the Storm Twins so they came together, & I got all the rest on pretty good discounts.
I literally had to get a third doll shelf. *faints* Omg how did this happen. XD They share it with all my G3 MH's, now.
I'll take a pic in a little bit, I've restyled a couple of mine and was pretty happy with their outcomes, even if it was minor.
The green one looked good with a ponytail & her braids hanging down, but I took it out because it was crimping her hair and I hate when dolls get ponytail-crimps because it's so hard to fix.

Here's some crappy pics for now. XD

Ooooh Esbayne! That display looks amazing.
Title: Re: Rainbow High?
Post by: Taffeta on December 02, 2022, 07:46:41 AM
I love your display, Esbayne!

I'm so glad I'm also corrupting you! I think the controversy over Lila is that her name Yamamoto is Japanese but elements of her outfit are not typically. Some bits are a bit korean, and some are a bit Chinese. Which yes, is not great, admitted. I have more issue with her name being Lila, though. In the animation she's meant to be from Tokyo. L is a letter Japan doesn't use. Lila is the least Japanese name you can imagine. I had assumed she was Japanese-American, but apparently not. It would have been nice if they'd been a bit more attentive to that stuff. They went to the trouble of putting the kanji for wisteria on her skirt, so her colour is clearly wisteria purple. But her name is Lila. And she's described as mauve. Which is all very muddly to me. If it's ok to have buttercup colour (Delilah), why not wisteria colour? I dunno.

Purple in Japanese would be Murasaki. Did they think that was too long a word or something? :/ The Japanese word for wisteria is Fuji. She could have been Fujiko or Fuji :/

I think I also must have posted confusingly - it's the spider girl that isn't sold here. The green haired SH band member is. She's now in my bedroom, but still inside the packing box. I used my voucher so this is a guilt free doll. Note how proud I am of that, because...well. A couple more may be sneaking this way before Christmas is out. Let's just put it that way.

Uma is lovely. :D I dressed mine in her proper garb now, given that the Jem jumpsuit was wayy too long on her really xD. And also my naked Clash doll was starting to get cold ;)

Great display Esbyane  :)


All of these pics of loose dolls makes me want to debox my girls.  Lila is still my most wanted RH right now. I wonder if MGA was considering Lilac as her name originally and dropped the L, ending up with Lila instead.  One of the reasons I fell in love with her was the kanji on her skirt and her hairstyle.

I was going to say, I can't keep them in box either but I forgot I have Ruby and Jade in a two-pack.  They look so good, I can't do it.  However, all the others get deboxed.  I really only get the dolls for the hair.

Okay I don't 'do' these dolls... but OMG Zooey's Novi Stars accessories ;__; She's a very pretty shade of seafoam too, I'll admit she's my favourite out of these dolls so far. But those accs and clothes are to die for! Especially since they used Mimi, my favourite Novi <3 I wonder if it "means" anything (Novi revival?!?) or if it's just a little in-joke...

Does anyone know if there was any news about JH Amaya exhausting the first run of dolls?  I checked 2 stores for her yesterday and she was sold out.  I looked on Amazon too and the site she was on pre order status to be released in July?


Ponyfan
Title: Re: Rainbow High?
Post by: Taffeta on December 27, 2022, 06:44:38 AM
Oh dear. There goes my money and my space. :)

I will definitely be looking out for Zooey, Monique and Glitch - I like her from the animation and was already planning to get her. I think I like Monique best; I will probably want Zooey with her hair down to play around with, but I'm not sure yet. I love her colouring though. This is something I adore about SH - they're more like MH and MLP in their fantasy skin tones.

Not interested in any with short hair, which includes all the guys, but I'll have to decide on the light pink if/when I see her in person.

No second outfit so cheaper price point (hopeful)? xD.

@Ponyfan, JH Amaya is also out of stock on Amazon UK. I'm sure I've seen her in Smyths in store but with Christmas and everything, I suspect there's probably been a run on some of these dolls. I'm also not sure if they're out of production or not. It's possible that because she's a central character, they're rereleasing in the summer or something? I don't know, but i remember seeing JH and wave 3 on clearance in Smyths in the summer.
Title: Re: Rainbow High?
Post by: Ponyfan on December 28, 2022, 03:21:24 PM
I saw some of the first wave of Shadow High on clearance before Christmas, but when I looked yesterday, it seemed they were back up to full price.

I found JH Amya at the 4th place I checked. :D  I thought they didn't have her, but then I found one hidden behind other dolls and stuck against a shelf.  The way she was hidden makes me wonder if someone placed her there intending to come back later and buy her. 

I said I would try to stick to one doll per character, but JH Amaya made me break that rule.

I like Heather but have avoided buying her because I would want to play with her hair, and at the same time, wouldn't want to mess up the colour split. I need a loose one I think.

Natasha is still one of the prettiest RH/SH dolls overall. I also like Nicole but I LOVE the colours on some of the others, like Uma.

I am assuming it will be summer before we see this new line here. I am still working through the dolls I got before Christmas though (there's Harley who I got with the voucher, and I also picked up some loose ones, I'm taking my time to go through and pretty them up). So it's ok with me if they take time to come out. I have just about enough space cleared on my shelf for the dolls I have,  we'll see after.

I found a few more of the Shadow High dolls today.  I haven't seen Zoey.   I wonder if the two Targets in my area haven't got her in yet or if she sells out as soon as they put her out.  I also saw Rexx but forgot to get a pic of him.

I think she's really pretty, though I will probably want a loose one without the hair styling. It'd be a shame to take it down, but I like to mess with their hair.

...I do wish her name wasn't spelt so awkwardly though. I have no idea what's wrong with Zoë. It's like nobody can use an umlaut any more. A name should never emulate "gooey" and that's that.

It's possibly the most twitchy name for me since Lila, who is apparently from Tokyo but has a name with a letter Japanese doesn't use.

Congrats shockponie! She's gorgeous, I'm very tempted by her myself.

(I've never cared for the "Zooey" spelling either. Zoë/Zoe or Zoey, sure, but that extra "o" just looks so awkward...)

Just a note that I haven't seen them in person, but Amazon UK (overpriced) and Smyths (somewhat pricey) now list all the new SH dolls on their sites, but not in stock yet. Smyths says they should be in stock this week. Suspect larger city stores may have them ahead of our little one out here in the sticks ;)

£29.99 at Smyths.

...I do wish her name wasn't spelt so awkwardly though. I have no idea what's wrong with Zoë. It's like nobody can use an umlaut any more. A name should never emulate "gooey" and that's that.

I've never cared for this spelling either, but I think it might be a US thing actually.
I know it's been around since I was very young in school, there was a Zooey in one of my classes as a young child so that's why I remember that.

Speaking of Zooey-
this doll was what got me into SH/RH, and I've been waiting for her for *so long.* I preordered her the second I'd heard she dropped on Amazon, even!
I don't frequent the Arena as much as I should, so I haven't posted about her, but I am SO EXCITED about her. She ties with Harley Limestone as my fave SH/RH doll. I kind of feel like she completed my collection of them? XD I have all the ones I've ever really wanted badly enough to actively pursue. (there's a LOT I passively like or think are beautiful but won't try to go out of my way to buy) Unless something crazy comes out soon that really gets my attention.

I'm so glad you've found all the ones you like, Esbayne!   I love Harley and Zooey too and I bet they look great together.


I haven't gotten Zooey yet.  I might wait for her to go on sale.  I thought about taking her hair down but I saw that her buns have tinsel so it may not look great that way.  I would love to display her with my Novi Stars though.

Honestly, when it comes to their names... I forget them so much I have to look them up when posting about them.  I usually think about them by their color name.


I just saw the new Rainbow High Series 5 dolls!

Post by: Taffeta on January 27, 2023, 02:18:19 PM
I love that Victoria has freckles!

I'm currently engaged in a long term project on Harper's hair. I picked up one second hand so that I could mess with it a bit. In the box, with the product, it's all separated and wavy. I don't like product, and mine has none. But I'm working on making her hair how I want it and it mayyy take months.

So update edit, I finished Harper's hair. I'll try and post some pics later. I like how it turned out :)

I also saw the new SH dolls in Smyths today. I came home with Monique as I had some Christmas money still lurking around in my purse. I like Zooey - aside her name - but I am also a bit concerned about hair styling and the tinsel, so I left her be. Glitch the only other one I'm seriously considering right now. Maybe in a month or two. I need to work out what space I have. The others don't grab me.

So, about Glitch.

I think she's the only character I ended up wanting to get based in part on her animation appearance, which says everything about the personalities of a lot of the characters in the animation shorts *LOL*.

I do feel like she's a bit of an oddball in this set, though. The others are so clearly aligned with a colour, whereas Glitch belongs to Rainbow Vision and she doesn't have a rainbowish name, not really. I almost feel like she ought to have come out sooner, but for some reason they revised her and scaled her down. In the animation she has chains in her hair (see below), but it doesn't seem as though the doll does (shame).

I agree Glitch looks so much cooler in the show. The chains are such a nice touch.

I've found that while I really like Zooey, I'm not as excited about her in store. It might be because I just feel I have a lot of these dolls.

This is my newest doll.  I bought her in December when the sales happened:

Post by: Taffeta on February 03, 2023, 04:20:12 PM
I found a video on YT where someone put chains into Glitch's hair, and while I wouldn't be up for using any kind of glue to do it, I feel like it isn't too impossible to at least vaguely replicate her style. So I may try it, if I get the doll.

Monique has an insane amount of hair braids. She's a very...dominant presence on my unit, LOL :D Until she arrived, the unit had mostly gentle colours, with Natasha, and Harper, and so on. And now it has Monique. Who is...something. I do like it, though :)

I looked at Zooey hard in the store, but the tinsel makes me second-guess if I want to add her. Basically when I have no more shelf space, that's me done, but they're still coming out, so I have to be picky.

@Brightberry, is that one of the KPOP group? I think I've seen her before in the store.

Here is Harper with her hair done :) I don't have a photo with Monique at the moment.

I think Harper has a really pretty face. She looks very sweet and gentle imo.

In the promo photos her hair is all divided up into distinct waves, and I don't know if this is the case if you get her new in box, but it looks like a style chock full of styling gunk, which I hate. Mine was second hand and so she didn't have any style in her hair left, nor any gel, and I shampooed her before doing anything anyway. But I wanted her to have the separated sections feel, and also a bit of that wave at the ends, but without using any kind of gel so...this was my solution. It took a while to do, but I'm happy with how it came out.

There are no ties, stitches or anything else anywhere in her hair, it's entirely holding the style by itself.

Also! Those shoes are not kid's toys. It was so hard getting them on and off again, I broke one of the plastic thongs doing it. Fortunately it doesn't show/matter in display but no idea how any kid would remove or redress with them.

Harper is so pretty. :)

I've decided to get Zooey, but she's playing hide and seek with me since I left her in the store the first time I saw here.  I went to Target yesterday and she was listed as out of stock on my Target app.  Today I checked and she was listed as in stock with 3 dolls of her on the shelf.  I went back to Target and couldn't find any Zooey dolls.  The Target app isn't always accurate, but I have a feeling the Zooey dolls are probably in the stock room and not on the sales floor yet.  None of the other stores I checked today had her either.  :(

Welcome to the dark side ;)

I've decided to buy myself Glitch for my birthday, if Smyths still has her when I go look. I figure that's justified, right??

This week I deboxed the Harley I got with my voucher before Christmas. She had a LOT of product in her hair, which I found odd given that Harley's hair is straight and genuinely doesn't need product at all o.o. I think the only other doll I had with so much product in it was Poppy, and I figured they just went a bit made with wave 1. :/

It was so difficult to get it out, because she has those four braided sections and the cat ear headband is basically stitched into those. BUT the work paid off. Her hair is now fine, and she and Uma are reconvening a music session on my unit.

I saw Michelle from the new RH assortment show up on Amazon yesterday. None of the others.

I really like what you did with Harper, Taffeta.  She's one of my top favorites.  I like her outfit and I think her face is the prettiest.  She makes me want to go to the beach and run in the sand.

Congrats on Zooey, Ponyfan! She is pretty.

I don't believe Glitch was originally intended to be a doll at all to be honest, but was made as one after how well her character was received, considering her animation model is 100% reused assets, which is why her doll doesn't have hair chains - those come from Runway Jade, and since the Runway looks are finally being made as dolls,  I presume they didn't want a 100% repeated hairdo between the two?

Not sure if I’ll keep both dolls or choose a favorite and just keep the wardrobe.

@Crystal Sushi, you might be right. In any case, it's now a project for me to play around with :)

I had a good look at Zooey the other day. I do think she's pretty, but that tinsel bothers me...

@Flitter, unfortunately like ponies, one becomes two and two becomes three very easily ;)
Title: Re: Rainbow High?
Post by: brightberry on February 18, 2023, 03:32:30 PM
@Flitter oh nice! Jade is very pretty.

@Taffeta I wish Zooey didn't have that tinsel.  I love her theme and want to display her with my Novi Stars but I guess I'll wait to find her on sale.


I used amazon points to buy Victoria.  She's so pretty and now my favorite Rainbow High doll.  She doesn't look like she has the partial eyebrows that the stock photos show and her lips aren't as glossy.  But I'm very happy with her and wouldn't mind a second that looks a little different.

Michelle has such a pretty expression, but her hair is too short for me to play with and I feel like the colour has already been done with previous dolls. I'm looking forward to seeing them in Smyths when they arrive, though...see which one grabs me IRL. I like Victoria and Kim from the photos, but you can never tell just from those.
Title: Re: Rainbow High?
Post by: brightberry on February 27, 2023, 01:29:05 PM
I just saw them too!  I ended up getting a 2nd Victoria as she has the partial eyebrows I like.  Plus, a freckle on the end of her nose.  I didn't get any of the others... yet.  I think they all look really good.

Michelle looks amazing but I don't like how hard it was for them paint the teeth in.  I want to get rid of it.  I just don't know how yet.  I don't have any orange dolls and I like her.  But I can wait for a sale.

I've seen the new series in stores a couple of times now and I don't know if it's just me or the way the dolls turned out this time, but my opinions have changed a little on them.

I love Victoria in photos and promo images, but when I see her in person, it feels like something is missing.  Kim calls out to me more although I still want Victoria too. Pink is my favorite color, but Pricilla doesn't wow me.

Post by: Esbayne on March 04, 2023, 08:17:48 PM
This new series is so gorgeous! I have to admit none that are grabbing me enough to buy but I am admiring from afar. I really like the blue & green girls. I may someday break for the blue girl, what's holding me back is her outfit- I hate it.
Victoria's also beautiful but she looks too close to two other dolls I have so I don't think I'll be getting her.
I do not like the boys & they all look the same to me, just recolored. Well. I mean they are, they all have the same mould lol.

...
So.... that thing I said about having all the ones I wanted?
Yeah. That was a lie. To myself. XD
I mean, was it a lie if I *thought* I was telling the truth?

So Eliza & Karla snuck into my collection... Eliza I did honestly always want but kept convincing myself I didn't because she 1) Looked very similar to Natasha, and because of how similar plenty of these dolls are, I really wanted to avoid having any too close to each other, & 2) I hated the text on her dress & the fact her wings were just a costume piece, not real.
However, oh dearie me, I've managed to overcome it and hoard even *more* dolls. XD And they are *gorgeous* I love them so much. And once you see her in person, Eliza is different enough from Natasha to still be very interesting. Her entire body is a pearlescent, silvery blue. @.@

My boyfriend was at Target & asked if I needed anything, I sent two pics of Karla & Jewel & asked if he'd poke his head in the dolls to look for them. They only had Karla, & shortly after, Jewel sold out where I had her bookmarked online, so it wasn't meant to be! But that's okay, I really prefer Shadow High and want to try & keep my Rainbow High to the very minimum, only ones I feel I *need.* XD

Last thing, I wanted to show I got my Lila a real yukata! Her outfit was... Nice... But it wasn't what I wanted for her.
I put the clothes she was wearing on G3 Drac, though I don't know if I'll keep them on her. I was dying to put them on Harajuku Lovers' Music but they're too damn skinny and even trying to rubber-band things in place was futile. XD So she got a yukata as well. So did Monster Exchange Drac, I actually bought all 3 specifically for these dolls! I had been thinking how I'd love to have some doll yukatas, because I have one for myself & adore it, & like two days after I had that thought, someone on the Monster High subReddit posted that they were handmaking & selling all these yukatas.

Wait, did I say just Eliza & Karla? Oh my, I must've forgotten some of those creepy little Poopsies crawled in behind them...
Send help. XD
I actually hate baby dolls, but these grabbed me because 1) they're in the RH/SH universe, 2) I'm obsessed with fairies & mermaids & I LOVED these two's designs so much that I was able to look past the fact they're babies. With buttholes. That fart glitter. & they will puke glitter if you take those pacifiers out- yes I got puked on. Absolutely wild. They smell like candy. I took a peek at the rest of them and am very positive no more at all will be allowed in... XD I know my track record on that, but *really* this time I swear. XD But I like these ones. (the bf does NOT! lmao)

Post by: Taffeta on March 05, 2023, 01:51:01 PM
The new range haven't shown up here yet so I can't pass judgement on any of them, but the photos look pretty.

Still cross with either MGA or toy stores in the UK that the costume dolls aren't sold here. It's approximatly £50-60 to get any of them and that's as cheap as you can get. So I don't have any of them. Sigh.

...I did debox my Vanessa. I had to get her from the States as well, also not sold here. I snapped one up when Amazon.com had a mega sale before Christmas, I think her shipping cost more than she did. She was well worth it, though.

On the new SH dolls. I have Monique and I have Glitch now (she's in her box still. I have stuff to do to her but haven't yet had time!) I didn't think much of Karla in photos but in person she's very pretty. I am trying to be restrained, though.

I'm thinking of trying to make an outfit for my poor Phaedra, who came here with no clothing and is currently borrowing stuff which semi-suits her and semi doesn't. Uma's spare skirt looks great on her, but I have no really appropriate colour tops.

I love the yukata! My Lila's hair was down when I got her (I wanted her like that), so I restyled her. If I got her a yukata, I'd be tempted to restyle her again, mind you. Although I won't lie...I'd quite like hakama or a junihitoe type thing as well. I'm now wanting to do a Tomoe Gozen recreation, and Lila is definitely not a suitable candidate, not unless I wanted to do a full reroot (spare me o.O).

For now I'll stick to giving Glitch chains.

I am with Esbayne on the fact I like SH mostly better, although I do like the RH ones as well.

I still have Glitch sitting in her box since before my birthday. I've had so much going on I haven't had a chance to fix up her hair with the chains and clips I have for her yet :/

The newest RH line are not here yet, still. I am debating taking Meena down from the shelf and doing something different with her hair. She was the first one I had and I was a little afraid to do anything at first...but I do enjoy messing around with the hair.

I am brand, BRAND new to the Rainbow/Shadow High collecting. It all started with Novi Stars, the only dolls I've ever collected. Zooey has Novi Stars themed accessories and I thought I'd get her for my Novi Stars/space themed spot on top of my desk. (Her cute NASA-style jacket!) But I fell down this rabbit hole watching collectors restyling their RH dolls' hair and now I am already in DEEP.

I own several dolls now. I want to give them hair restyles and also try making some clothes. I have already spent a ridiculous amount of money in a short amount of time and I LOVE them so much. The more dolls I learn about, the more I am adding to my want list. Currently, my favorite is Victoria. She is so beautiful, like a fairy. I adore her freckles and the lip paint on her.

But so many of the dolls are absolutely stunning. I am now cleaning out some of my other collections to make room for them. I've gone thrifting a few times in hopes of finding any secondhand that I could do some reroots on, but no luck yet.

Yes! LOL I completely agree I want to see what new stuff is coming out. My wallet doesn't want to see it, but I do. Even though there are plenty of dolls still on the shelf I want. I am making myself slow down because I have been buying so many in such a short amount of time. Maybe one doll a paycheck, unless there's a clearance or something.

I really like to see what the collections look like of collectors who only get the dolls they like and aren't completionists. I like seeing which dolls "spoke to them" and made them want to get them.
Title: Re: Rainbow High?
Post by: Taffeta on May 06, 2023, 10:51:49 AM
I haven't dared to go to Smyths lately, since I still haven't done Glitch's hair and I'm trying to be measured with these.

I did see Priscilla in the Entertainer mind you.

I don't have space to be completionist, nor the spare cash, so I'm picking and choosing and being quite strict on myself overall. I like to restyle the hair too, though. I deliberately bought a loose Lila with her hair down so that I could do that, since I didn't want to take down her braids.

I still can't work out what to do with Sheryl's hair. I keep getting her down and brushing her out but never settle on anything, and back on the shelf she goes...

Doing Harper's hair has been the most rewarding so far, but I am still intending on putting the chains and stuff in Glitch's hair. I have just got so distracted...

You have a Phaedra! I want her so much!

I really like seeing the doll collections of the people who don't get every doll, but only the ones that speak to them. I also like hearing about dolls purchased they thought they would like and then ended up not liking as much and visa versa.

That happened to me recently. I bought Karla and Olivia at the same time. I really wanted Karla, her outfit is so amazing and I decided I would just grab Olivia because I've seen her around. But taking them out of the box, I LOVE Olivia and I'm kinda cooling down on Karla. But I haven't done the hair of either doll yet, so that can change.

Here's some of mine. I've just counted...I have 18 in total. O.o. Some were second-hand. Only one has come from overseas. A couple were with vouchers or on clearance.

I have Sheryl, Meena, Lila, Delilah, Daria, Georgia, Poppy (original) and Phaedra on my shelf. Sheryl is wearing a mix of her 1/2 outfits, she was the first one I bought but she went on a postal detour so she arrived after I bought Meena. Phaedra is dressed in Poppy's and Uma's stuff, as I have nothing of hers but her xD. Her hair is stunning. Unfortunately the character in the show is very annoying.

On my unit I have Vanessa with her drums, Uma with her guitar, Harley with her mic, Natasha, Daphne, Monique, Harper, Nicole and Mylene with all her fluffy and gold dress-ness

And Glitch is still in her box waiting for me :')

I still think Natasha may be the prettiest RH/SH doll I've seen...but I do really like Georgia's colouring, and Harper's expression is so pretty. Uma still reminds me of Stormer. I don't know which one is my overall favourite. It's hard to pick...

I really recommend Victoria! She's very pretty and stands out among my dolls.

I saw this announcement last night:

https://www.youloveit.com/dolls/2868-rainbow-high-shadow-high-2-pack-dolls-2023.html

It's two pack Luna and Sunny.  I love the Luna and I love Sunny's clothes.  But Sunny herself is just ok.

Ok, I will add her to my 'to buy' list then!!  :biggrin:

Sunny and Luna look so cute, especially Sunny!!! I LOVE her whole vibe and her bag is so cute?? Her shirt and skirt are kinda meh, but still cute nonetheless.

I didn't know Sunny and Luna were twins.

The Sunny/Luna thing is pretty pathetically handled in the animation tbh *lol* with occasional mentions of them being sisters and each calling the other 'evil' for no apparent reason since neither of them are...so yeah.

I saw a few of the newest line in London. I didn't see Victoria yet. None of them jumped out at me. I still want to do Glitch's hair before I buy anyone else. I don't want a backlog. But all the pictures of her look amazing.

I understand about them not jumping out.  I think the newest dolls look fantastic and are really well executed but, I have so many already.  I don't know what I would do with them all.  I kind of wish this line had come out before I bought previous dolls.  They keep getting better and better.


They do have some interesting color your own dolls coming out:

I wondered if Sunny and Luna being sisters was mentioned in the show.  I feel like I miss some of the connections between the characters since I don't watch it.

I love Sunny, but Luna doesn't grab me even though she's basically the same design as Sunny, but in sliver and gray.

I saw pics on youloveit.com

I love Jade without the green plastic.  I also really like Ruby and Poppy.  I don't know if I'm going to buy any.  I kinda feel like I need to clear out some dolls.  I just don't know who!

There is also a fuzzy picture of Shadow High 3.

Some clearer pictures of the new Shadow High + Rainbow High 'body' dolls... and names! Some of the names are pretty awful :shocked:

Yes the pink 'body' doll's name is PINKLY, and I don't think Blu is much better (it's more of a name you'd give a pet, not a human...)

Skylar's design studio, seems it works like Harumika (if anyone remembers those)?

Are the runway dolls the original core characters in their fancy get up? If so I saw them in our branch of smyths today, along with the last lot of RH dolls that have been out already in the US. First time seeing Victoria. I promised myself not to buy any more though until I do Glitch's hair. So I didn't buy anyone.

I have to say Jade was very pretty. I like Jade as a character, but I don't usually like her doll.

I saw some new Rainbow High things today including runway Amaya and Poppy. Here they are. :D I know some of the pics aren't great.  I have to be really careful about bending and streching right now so I wasn't able to move/grab dolls that were on the bottom or top shelves.

I love both of these.  I've already broken my one doll per character rule once for JH Amaya, I might break it again for this version.  My first RH doll was the Hair Studio Amaya with the platinum hair with rainbow streaks so anytime they release a version of that Amaya she's hard to resist.  I love that Poppy's gown is based on a monarch butterfly.  @Taffeta, are these the same ones you saw?

Oh they look beautiful! Good finds, Ponyfan!


I don't have a Poppy so I'll think about her.   I really want to know if the create own dolls have nice hair.  I think they're lovely and would be fun to dress in extra outfits.
Title: Re: Rainbow High?
Post by: Taffeta on August 05, 2023, 12:14:41 AM
@Ponyfan, yep, those were they, plus Jade and a couple of the others. I didn't see the create your own dolls, but I did see the Sunny and Luna set. It threw me for a moment as Sunny didn't have her hair tied up as she usually does.

I also have a rule about not doubling characters, and I am strict on who I buy, but I do think Poppy looks very nice in that format. I do have the original one though, so probably won't get this one.

I found the rest of the runway set today.  Again, not great pics.  :(

I’ve seen these now at stores and I don’t know who I like best. It’s between Ruby and Jade. They have shiney faces. :| Why?


So series 2 Shadow High went on sale on Amazon.  I bought  Zooey.  She’s really pretty! The tinsel doesn’t bother me as much as I thought it would.  It does help her look more alien. But, I’ll never be able to take down those twists.  I don’t see it going well.

I've not collected any of the JH ones, and the devious twins are the most obnoxious characters ever in the animation, but I admit, I saw their JH dolls in London and they did make me do a double-take. Very tempted.

I think these are the new Shadow High dolls.  I also saw the SH boy, but didn't get a pic of him.

I have seen the one with the coat and the mint green coloured one. I like her better than Zooey, but I still promised myself no more RH dolls until I do Glitch's hair. Which was 6 months ago + now but anyways. Glitch is still in her box, so no new dolls for Taffeta. Can't have them piling up LOL

It looks like Rainbow High sold well for Christmas and the holidays.  Most of the stores I've been to only have a few dolls left.

That's good!  I'm sure they make nice gifts.

I bought a few more on Amazon when they were on sale.  The new two-pack, Scarlett, Flamingo girl and Fashion Jade.

I got JH Laurel for Christmas. I don't usually put these on lists, but I'd noticed these weren't priced up too high so I put the twins on the list, and got Laurel. She's currently standing in one of my pen pots on my desk as I try and work out how to get her up on the shelf since she has no stand...not sure if I have a stand spare somewhere she can use. She doesn't really want to sit down...and I still need to wash gel from her hair (lol).

She is very pretty though :D

It's a pity the character is such a nasty piece of work in the animation.

Congrats everyone on your new dolls. :D I didn't get any for Christmas this year.

I saw a new line today.

I have to say the slime factor really turns me off to these even though I wouldn't use it.

I also saw a new Junior High line with little accessories like a laptop (I think) and pizza.

BIG dump of leaked pictures for upcoming lines, they are definitely going in a more fantasy direction but I can't say I'm not a fan (as I don;t see any slime included haha)

Rainbow High Sparkle & Shine Moonbows - All four are new characters - Rosetta, Clementine, Marina and Viola. 7 points of articulation and transparent bodies, filled with glitter :heart:

I can't see the pictures now, but I was going to ask if the one in the Winter Wonderland series that  is wearing the mermaid Skylar or a new character?

A couple of the Walmarts in my area are closing out the Runway series of dolls. I picked up Amaye Rain even though I tried to stick to one doll per character.

It is Skyler in the prototype images that surfaced recently.
Congrats on Amaya. I keep looking at her in the stores. Her face is super pretty in the runway version.

There have been some good sales lately! I just got the townhouse 50% off at target and have seen several people posting about clearance from Walmart. Seems like they are preparing for the next wave.

It looks like Violet, Skylar and Sunny, plus one who may or may not be Bella?

I still need to do Glitch's hair. I've had her sitting here for ages. She's looking at me, judging me... xD but I need to look it all up again to remember how it looks in the animation.

I love RH dolls and I've got quite a big collection  :biggrin: ...although I'm not loving that they brought back slime this year (  :X)  ). I wish the latest dolls still had the wrist articulation and the extra bit of leg articulation too, but overall they're still pretty cute :lovey:
