Did I find original Frankie/Clawdeen/Lala/Ghoulia or re-releases?

[Aaryana]

I found these dolls tonight at Walmart. The dates on Frankie, Lala, and Clawdeen's boxes is 2009. The date on Ghoulia's is 2010. They have the "coffin window". Are these the original dolls or re-released dolls? Thanks!

It looks like everyone is the original, but I can't tell if Clawdeens hands are claws or the original human hands Clawdeen

It's the original boxes/dolls.
It looks like the Clawdeen you found is the "first re-release" of her with the clawed/monster hands. When Clawdeen first came out, she had "normie" hands. I'd still say she's an original, though.

EDIT: For fun, here's what Clawdeen looks like with "normie" hands.

I almost didn't buy them, but when I saw Ghoulia, I thought they might be old stock versus a re-release and went for it!

Amazing. You could actually make a fortune selling them MIB on ebay! There goes my theory of stores not keeping really old stock! Congrats!

Those look like first wave to me too. The boxes of the rereleases look different. They look like the current boxes, with the right side completely clear, it has no card board lining.


That is a really great score well done! Especially Ghoulia is very valuable now. I have seen first wave Frankies and Lala's priced pretty low on eBay too, but I suspect that it has more to do with the sellers not realizing they have something valuable vs the re release.I mean that they might think that they have the rereleae instead of the original, if that makes sense.

This doesn't mean that these would not sell for the market price, they will, just price them according to their value, which is quite high right now.

Out of curiosity, are you planning on keeping nay?

I love Ghoulia, I just unboxed mine last week.

I have them all on eBay with starting prices of $50 each, since I already have them all.

Excellent, I'm not sure Lala and Frankie will do as well as the others since they are really not doing so well on the market as the others, but Ghoulia and Clawdeen most certainly will! x

Do you think Frankie and Lala will sell for the $50? They have a few watchers, but Clawdeen and Ghoulia have WAY more.

congratz!

Sorry for the OT but: Does a seller see in Evilbay how many watches they have?

Yes. You can't see who is watching, but you can see how many.
