I've not seen a thread about this, if there  is one I apologise! I saw these around for a while and wasn't too taken, though intrigued, and seeing one fur really steep discount is stepping up my interest. I'm not a fan of the sporty-looking one, but the others are slowly really grabbing my attention.

Does anyone collect these? Thoughts? I laughed when I saw the CAR but otherwise I think I might get a few! They come with stands, which was my main concern!

I’ve seen these.  I really like the winter themed ones.  And the car is hilarious.

I've heard they've been discontinued but I'm not 100% sure of it. I don't own any, but they are very pretty. The high prices are holding me back from getting one, I haven't come across a good deal on them at my local stores yet (it doesn't help that I don't check very often for sure).

Price is deffo a factor, though The Entertainer has a couple for very cheap and they seem to be reduced to clear at Tesco BUT are not really listed online despite a link showing them? They're still full price elsewhere. I don't know about discontinued, it would be a shame if they were!

I don't know about discontinued, it would be a shame if they were!

Sadly, they have been discontinued. A slumber party line and a line of smaller dolls were planned for release but got cancelled.

This is what the smaller dolls look like. They would have been called "sirenz".

Oh dear, I'd better snap some up then!

[brightberry]

oh my! The sirenz look beautiful.

One of the dolls was on steep discount (and yes, kicking myself for not getting it when I saw it in person!) but rather than travel up to get it and have to pay more in travel costs, I ordered off TRU. There are other dolls in Smyths but I think I need to sit down and work out the line since I'm not sure how many there are. I like most of them to be fair, but want to have a cap on how much I spent on them if I like them enough to continue.

That's so sad they won't continue with lovely designs! Price and quality are factors, as the reviews on Smyths on some of the dolls are NOT good at all, especially for a doll that price

I've seen these a few times.  Are the tails removable or am I thinking of some other line of mermaid dolls? I saw one that I think was Winter themed that I liked, but not enough to buy her.

IIRC the tails are not removable. I remember seeing that as a common criticism about them (that and the prices) around doll communities I browse.

I bought two on clearance: the rock one and the one with the cloud purse on the far right. I haven’t unboxed, but they’re pretty!

I think I get them mixed up with Mermaid High.  Those have removable tails.  The car would make a lot more sense if they could transform.   How are mermaids supposed to drive the car with their tails?

So I got Crystabella the Winter Waves one from TRU and she looks good! I really like the eyes, I haven't unboxed her yet but looks like I'm going to need to get the rest!

[Lady Frostbite]

So I got three more of the dolls, I left Jordie as I REALLY wasn't feeling her in person, and I just deboxed Harmonique for a closer look.

Her top is ripped in two places, but I'm not sure if that's deliberate, though part of me says no. Her jacket is STIFF and keeps forcing her arms a certain way, and keeps forcing her earrings off her ears. But, ghoulfriends, her HAIR. Her hair is HUGE, it's HEAVY, and it's BAD. There's a part I'm not sure is even supposed to be there, it's very cheap and a tangled nightmare. The instructions actually tell you how to wash the hair if you want to style it, but I'm not brave enough to do that since I messed up 13 Wishes Abbey. Supposiedly, the dolls can stand on their tails, but her hair makes that IMPOSSIBLE and also forces her head at a certain angle.

I'm not sad I bought her, the glass insert eyes still have the same pull as OUAZ dolls did, but man that HAIR is an A+ nightmare. She WILL need a stand but doesn't come with one, as again she's supposed to stand on her own, but I'll need to find if someone has  a stand substitute for her

(Crystabella Winter Waves comes with a stand)

I have a few of these dolls, and I think they're really lovely though I wish the tails had a knee joint.  It's so sad they're discontinued - they were going in such a good direction with the planned lines that won't be released, I would have bought all the Sirenz with the articulated tails.
