The Adagio Dazzle doll

[Lucky_Ladybug]

So part of me is thinking I should really try to get that Aria Blaze/Sonata Dusk two-pack while it's on half-off clearance at K-Mart (if they still have any). $15 for two dolls is a pretty sweet deal.

But I feel bad to think of getting them if I can't ever procure the Adagio doll too. I like to have all members of a group, when possible. Did she ever become easier to find? It seems like she was around for a tiny blip in some parts of the States and then vanished again. I believe I may have seen her ... once? Twice? And then no more.

I have not seen Adagio at all. I grabbed the twins I believe when there was a BOGO Free sale at TRU or when they were on clearance at Target. I don't think I'll ever find Adagio other than on EBay. I would still get Aria and Sonata though. They're super cute!

[Lucky_Ladybug]

True, I should definitely check K-Mart for them again in any case. How much does Adagio tend to go for on eBay (or Amazon)? Much more than retail?

[Bow Tie]

I wish she was cheap on EBay. Can't find her under $50 and I am not willing to spend that much on a doll unless it's a Disney Designer doll.

I bought Adagio for $39 through Amazon - but that was around February or March.

[Taffeta]

Still cross with myself that I didn't get Adagio when she was on discount for £10 (approx $16) at Entertainer in March/April time...

I am trying to be frugal with the EQG dolls and picking only the ones I like, but so far they seem to be the ones nobody can find. And, of course, because the Dazzlings remind me so much of the Misfits, I now need to have them (sigh). I had to buy my mib one from Ebay UK, which was at the actual RRP for the UK with free shipping, but still more than the £10 sale price in Entertainer. I haven't decided what to do about Sonata and Aria yet, but I would definitely grab them while they're cheap. You never know how quick they'll be gone otherwise. (Sadly Sonata and Aria are still £20 here, which is around $30...)

Still hoping I might pick up a loose Adagio at some point at a sale or in a charity shop because I can't afford to buy a second one to take her out of package...

She was all over on this side of the pond for a while and as Taffeta says went on discount. Unfortunately her timing was such that she could still have got a bigger US release so no one really realised how hard to find she was going to be moving forward.

She is still available from third party sellers on Amazon. And she is mostly at the price or a little higher than we would have paid for her in US stores.

These dolls will eventually show up on the second hand market. If I was you, I would get the dolls at the good price you really like and just keep an eye out for Adaggio she will pop up eventually. Or argue to yourself that the money you are saving on the 2 dolls, is sufficient that you can pay UK to US shipping for Adaggio.

The only problem is second hand dolls are frequently naked.

I missed out on the US Amazon.com Adagio Dazzle EG doll. But luckily my friend Chrissytree in the UK was able to snag me her on sale in the UK (also Holly Dash and the TAF Rarity ponies!!). So I have Adagio. But she was not sold locally in the US to my knowledge. Very annoying Hasbro!!

This is true, or in the case of the MH dolls I've seen lately, in bits ><. I'm keeping my Adagio in her box for that reason, because I'm fine with a loose one that has no accessories. I can make clothes for her if I need to, and that might be fun to do, even though I've got rid of most of my fabric now. Mind you, I did find a very nice loose Rainbow Dash with the long hair with all her clothes and stuff at a car boot sale back in April or May. So it depends on the kids and how interested they were in the toy...

Still hoping that my Entertainer - with their propensity to shove anything that doesn't immediately clear back in the stockroom for months till there is space again - will produce a few AD dolls around Christmas again next year.
It's happened before and just the last week I saw Holly Dash again for the first time in four months, so it's an ever present possibility.

Maybe I should actually go and ask them, in fact...

[SeashellnBubbles]

I've found 3 here in Canada the last 2 months...sold one here and 2 on eBay. I always keep my eye open for her, but it seems to mostly just be a sea of Pinkie and TS and that's it. I start the bidding low, but it has surprised me how much she's going for on eBay...Maybe she'll make another go-round so collectors can get her again?

[Carrehz]

I've only ever seen her twice - once at TRU and once at TK Maxx. Still never seen Octavia in shops anywhere.

Good luck finding her! I love the Dazzlings

That would be a good idea, to ask!

I'm pretty sure I saw Adagio in stores a couple of times, but I still haven't seen Octavia around, either. Sigh.

Just pretend that Sonata and Aria are striking off on their own to find a new life. They're good-looking dolls who don't need no leader.

[Lucky_Ladybug]

LOL.
