Zelfs - Where can I find them?

[BlackCurtains]

Recently my interest in these guys has come back around. I really love them but I only ever got the Cow. I want the Egyptian cat sooooo bad. I was just looking on eBay and the prices don't seem too bad (for none rare or sought after) I would probably collect them both loose and on card.

My question, because I know nothing about dolls, is where else to look for them? I checked out Etsy and there are some sellers on there, but is there like a doll marketplace? I feel I would have better luck if there was.

Also, if you have any Zelfs, please post them!

There was a Zelf forum that Mothra Stewart of Monster High board was on, I'll see if I can find it. The Egyptian one was mail order I believe, or similar, I had to send away for it for her. I used to buy/hunt them for her!

IIRC Cleocat was distributed differently depending on where you lived:

In UK she was a mailaway offer, you had to send in receipts/proof of purchases for... like £20 worth of Zelfs (I forget the exact amount) to get her. (this is how I got mine)

In the US, I believe the limited edition Zelfs were just really rare chase figures that you could find in the shops if you were lucky?

Thanks for the info! The last time I saw Cleocat up for sale was by someone here and they wanted $65 for her. I passed at the time.

I looked hard for Cleocat but she was a crazy chase and I doubt many actually made it to the shelf.  My favorites were almost always the chase ones so I had to give up on them.

love zelfs  :-) bummed when TRU went bust and moose was only in australia so I  think I acquired most of mine from ebay years ago... I haven't looked recently but will often start a search for an item and then choose shopping to see what the algorithms show... I think mercari has sometimes had good deals and there is always facebook groups to check out

all the best as I think these guys make great pony companions on the shelf :-)

Oooh Zelfs - built my collection over my trips all through europe... they're incredibly designed and detailed little guys. If Monster High saw a revival, I hope Zelfs will too over a couple years... there's enough space in the world for both Dreamworks Trolls and Zelfs

There's quite a number on sites like taobao and AliExpress (although keep in mind these are often factory seconds) 

[BlackCurtains]

Thank you! I've never bought anything from those sites, but I browse AliExpress sometimes. I'll check for Zelfs

I may have one laying around I found at my local thrift if you are interested.

I found that forum! Looks long dormant though

(Reason I know it's the right one; I found the user that's Mothra Stewart on MH forums and recognise the art for her avatar!)

[BlackCurtains]

Thanks for finding it! It does look mostly dead, but there's a post from Dec 23. It's a good source of info though!

eBay or Mercari are the best place I know of to find these.

I just saw the people that run MLPMerch started a multi-toy database that includes Zelfs!

There’s some really cute ones in the later series I never even knew about!

I used to collect medium Zelfs when they first came out but sold them when I moved. I’ve kinda been thinking of re-buying a couple. I particularly regret selling my Miss Clover.

That's awesome! Thanks for the link.

I found the one I have they are sliver with yellow and pink hair.
