Argh. Emailed Mattel to ask if they were going to bring signature Howleen to Canada in any form, and recieved a polite reply that the 'Howleen pack' was only for Target and so would not be coming to Canada. I understand the concept of exclusives, but Howleen is a far more significant character than Cupid and so should be available to everyone!   :sad:  (Don't mind me. Just needed a gripe among people who understand my frustration...and don't look at me like I've sprouted a second head when I start talking about toys.  :blush: )
 
Also...did anyone else take one look at the Puma Boy add-on pack and think SON OF PANHTRO FROM THUNDERCATS?!?  :lol:

Ah, I see many others are still on the hunt for Cupid! xD
As usual, all places I'm near are completely sold out of all dolls. ;-;

Anyone in the midwest see any MHs lately or at all? A few months ago I had a stroke of luck with Operetta and Torelai, but I haven't seen Abbey, Spectra, or Cupid at ALL outside of pics online! :(

So whats a decent price for the Howleen set?  My niece is in love with the werewolves but doesn't have any of them.  She wants Howleen badly & I'm hoping to help the Easter bunny out...I might just break down and buy the set off of ebay but I really don't want to pay $20 extra...

I saw this on the monster high forums - I think one or more of you had said you ordered torsos from this person and never got them :(

http://www.monsterhighdolls.com/forum/topics/huge-public-apology-cam-torso-casting-ordeal

Quote
Oh my gosh guys...this is a major public apology. I have no idea where to put this; but this started here I think, so I'll post it here. can a mod move it if it's not in the right place..?
I had a misscarriage a little after the CAM torsos were done. Considering I couldn't eat, and have type 2 diabetes and anemia, I was sent to the hospital and my husband promised all would be shipped...
Clearly, all was not shipped off. On top of that, he acted like a jerk to some people here...I don't even know the full extent of it, I'm a little overwhelmed and still not clear headed. :x I am going to try to figure out who all he talked to and send some private apologies.
I know we lost our child, but being so rude was not called for from him..he is usually not like that, I'm sorry he did this.
Obviously I have not been there in the hospital myself for months..shortly afterwards when I came home, my husband suffered massive head trauma. I know that sounds so hard to believe, and I knew it would, so I took a picture of his wrist band from the hospital for anyone who needs to see it. ( it has his last name on it, so I hesitate to post it straight out here. just PM me if need be. ) He sufered severe amnesia and forgot evertything every five minutes. It was a nightmare.
That long winded spout said, I just came home today to all this. I've only had wifi on my phone and did not have my passwords to most of my online account aside from Facebook..so just now is the first I've een on a computer in a while.
I do have all of the torsos done right now and in front of me; I am unable to walk long distances, so I am waiting for a friend to come take me to the post office come Friday. I am trying to sort out who started what Paypal cases and respond to them in the right order; like I said, I'm really overwhelmed. everyone who paid for the torsos is going to get those,a nd shortly after some free custom accesories I had going.
All that said, I will -not- be taking commissions for these again. I'll direct you to the other talented peopler here who have less crazy stuff going on and what not. ( in act, feel free to advertise right here in this thread or my old one!! ) If I make anymore, they'll be done before they are listed and most likely just be a part of a custom doll. I don't want to risk more medical issues coming up and more delays.
That's about it guys...I hope no one's feelings are too hurt and this didn't stress anyone out too much >_/p>

Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on March 30, 2012, 05:08:08 AM
I feel really bad for her. I was following the original thread over on Monster High Dolls, so I remember the fight that happened between some members and her husband. In my honest opinion, he wasn't being a jerk -- someone else came onto her thread and started selling their own custom torsos, and he was saying that it was rude for her to come and try to steal customers like that. Someone else said that there's absolutely nothing wrong with that at all, and it turned into an argument. :\ I kind of agree with him, because you don't sell your customs on someone else's custom thread.

Anyway, I do hope she's alright. :(

Nope, she's getting freed right now and then I'm giving her a hair wash. :)

It's funny, there seems to be little black and yellow hairs clippings all stuck to the glue in her bangs. I guess she was manufactured/packaged in close proximity to Jackson. I love the texture of her hair, it's really thick and soft. Definitely one of the better dolls I've seen hair quality-wise straight from the box lately.

I want Rochelle so badly... It's stupid, because I KNOW that I'll get her, I KNOW that if I wait long enough, I can catch them when they're on sale by Amazon like I did with Operetta, but it still bugs me not having her. She's the only female character released that I don't have. (Not counting the skeleton CAM, who I will be getting eventually.)

I also did this little mock-up the other day of what Skull Shores Frankie may look like in color. I wonder if she'll be made as a variant eventually? I could see her being made if they decide to do another store exclusive multipack.

Haha, I was actually pointed that way the other day and would have responded "No, it's fake!" if I still had an account there. I deleted it since I rarely posted there and knew that I'd eventually cave an snap at someone if I stayed active, though it's still amusing to lurk.

It's funny how quickly things travel. I only uploaded it this past weekend and I've already found several kids trying to pass it off as real.

While there are still distribution issues with the dolls, the current case wave has been pretty easy to find for the most part. I think as long as people don't drag their feet once this current crop hits retailers, they should be fine. Plus, Rochelle is in at least two different case assortments. Jackson will be the one to keep an eye out for; like Gil, he'll probably only stick around for a little bit.

Oh, and congrats Mandy! And lovely shots (as usual).

I'm almost positive that there's a production issue with the Wolf Sisters set. I have been religiously been checking my Target (and the surrounding Targets). Only two or three stores in the area have ever received them. One of my friends in NY reported that her local Target has taken down the price tag. I don't think the sets are gone (this is Target, home of the exclusives), but I do think it'll be a bit before we see them become widely available.

On another note, found my weretwins the other day! Fortunately, they seemed to have just recently been put out. I found the one decent set- no wonked eyes, smeared lips or noses, or major leg seam issues. I noticed a couple of the leg stripes were a bit lighter, but it's not really noticeable. If it weren't for that pesky Rochelle and Jackson arriving earlier than anticipated, I'd just need the Howleen/Clawdeen set...

A friend of mine bought me a Cupid somewhere online, as a gift for helping him make his new home move-in ready.  He was tired of listening to me whine about not being able to find her, and he was afraid after Valentine's day I'd never find one, therefore he'd never hear the end of it :biggrin:   I have a problem with her though, that I was hoping one of you could help me with.  The hole that the neck peg goes in is slanted.  She always looks like her head is cocked to the side.  Also the bottom of her head (neck, before the body) seems to long..... hard to explain without pics, I know.  The best way I can describe it, is she looks as though she is wearing a mask.  All I see when I look at her is Michael Myers.  I HATE it!  Can I cut the vinyl around the neck line?  I swear all my Ghoulias have nice clean neck/jaw lines.  What's Cupid's problem?

Not really no. I do sometimes forget that I seem to be a in a nexus- I see MH more frequently in my general area than most people do :P But Toralei, Operetta and Nefera seem to have gotten much better distribution than some of the earlier signature dolls. I think they've gotten better about how they case up the newbies at the very least.

Now if only they'd re-release Spectra for all of us who missed out.

I wouldn't find stumbling across her signature version again, myself. I've had her for eons (I was lucky/dedicated enough to get both her and Abbey close to their releases), but whenever I'd see her again, I either needed the money for something else, or her face was not the way I like it. At least they're releasing her in the DDG case, but I do love the faceup on the first one.

Sometimes you can find really cute gargoyle statues around Halloween in Dollar Tree and Dollar General. I found mine in a hippy shop. Also you can find them in craft stores and gardening areas of stores. I know a gal who decorated her house in garden gargoyles and it was done rather nice, she had some peeking out from behind the couch and hovering on the walls.

An enlightening jaunt to wal-mart today. I found out you can tell in-store if CaMs have the new heads (YAY!), and there were SS Frankies. We walked out with three, one for me, one for my sister and one that i haven't decided what to do with though if my friend on the UK wants her, i'll probably give it to her.

I know i'm going to kill myself trying to get the Jacksons I want. Amazing how the boy dolls are supposedly unpopular yet everyone clamors to get them then they disappear. -_- I haven't seen hide nor hair of 1600 Clawd or Gil outside ebay in weeks!

LOA LOA LOA!!!!!! I mean M.O.N.S.T.E.R. H.I.G.H!

Hair question - What's the easier way to have a doll wavy hair for a lazy person? I do not want to do straw curls. Not because it's hard in itself, but they never come out right on a round head. I can do curls on a pony, but with dolls they never come out right.

So...should I just give the doll in question a bunch of thick braids, let them sit a few days, then unravel and comb them out into waves? Or is there an alternative method for the lazy?

As for waves.. I agree with EmBee about the buns. Or if you're feeling really keen -  maybe loose straw curls all higgledy piggledy would get you some seriously sexy bed hair?

Well, the box is definitely an April Fools joke. Possibly the bio. But Billy will be making a cameo in an upcoming webisode; The Mexican MH site had all the upcoming webisodes already posted a couple of weeks back. And the artwork is the same. There have also been rumors that one of Lisi Harrison's book characters would be made into a doll, so who knows?  I do really like his design :)

I'm curious to see if he'll end up being the SDCC exclusive. Either way, I'll be snapping him up if/when he's released. If he's not the exclusive, I sincerely hope that signature Gil gets released before him.

I agree Ravie. Seriously, I think Heath's had more appearances/lines than any of the other guys made!

Invisi Billy is cute, I hope they make him as a doll and not just a CAM if they do produce him though.

Actually, I suppose mattel has been underestimating the appeal of the boys period. I cannot find Gil for under $30 I only saw in store once and I was broke at the time :\ Then poof! they replace him with Draclaura...when there are currently four untouched Ghoulia's sitting on the shelfs of -my- wal-mart, two of which have seen there for nearly a month -_- unpleased. Seriously unpleased.

And that last 1600 Clawd I need? Yeah....no.

Yea, this whole CAM nonsense is getting to be too much for me personally. It would be fine if they came with matching torsos, thighs, and upper arms, but most of them don't!

I'm personally hoping Headless Headmistress Bloodgood will be the SDCC exclusive with her horse would be awesome.

Why Invisi Billy?
in the book he was Billy Phaidin.
But either way he'd be a cool doll.

 oh invisibilly is so cute! they put so much thought into his design, my thoughts are he will get made eventually. he seems more detailed than some of the other bg characters.
it would be great if they would make him and heath too. i'd but them both!

honestly i really would love to see more boy dolls there is alot of potiential for  cool boy doll designs in this line.

 if they make heath he really needs light up hair. IMHO

   blood good and horse would be awesome for sdcc!!  i can't wait till they show us who will be the exclusive this year.

I'm honestly hoping for Bloodgood. I was playing dolls with my niece when she was over, and she asked me "Is there a Bloodgood doll?" I told her no, and she said "Well, there should be" and decided to pretend her Frankie was Bloodgood for the sake of her game. LOL, so I think she would be happy if Bloodgood was made.

I always thought that, and personally, I'd LOVE more dolls with Nefera's body mold. She is truly gorgeous.

Howleen's body mold is cute, but I do have a bit of a problem with her thighs... They're disproportionately large in comparison to her calves. :I

I imagine we'll see some tweaking if/when we get Threaderella/AJ. Certain parts of her are very similar to Operetta, and in any case, all three of the dolls were prototypes. If they do change the red hair, I'm hoping they keep it vibrant. Or make it less red-red and more orangey.

But yeah, I'm dying for spider-girl to make an appearance. I definitely want a Billy doll (InvisiBilly/ Billy Phadin, not THE Billy doll lol); HHM would be fab, and give me my Heath and signature Gil!

Hi! I'm pretty new to the arena and also quite new to MH collecting.

I decided to come out of lurking just to wonder - is it just me or is the quality deteriorating quite rapidly? The only doll I have that is 'perfect' is Howleen. All my others have at least one or two flaws in their face. I recently got DotD Frankie, and not only does her face have one or two flaws (albeit easily overlooked), but her shoes are in a terrible state - all chipped and with dried glue stains. I've already contacted Mattel CS about ordering replacement shoes. I also recently sold my DotD Ghoulia because of her face-up problems. Now I find my Operetta has one eye set higher than the other, so her face looks wonky (that and frizzy hair). -__- Unfortunately it's so hard to tell when they're in the packaging (not to mention Operetta's mask was over the 'bad' eye).

Am I just terribly unlucky? To be fair, I have to buy from online retailers because I can never find any in stores (except for the werewolf sisters), so I can't compare before purchase. I just ordered the werecat twins off TRU UK, and with all the horror stories I've heard about those, I'm going to be scrutinising pretty carefully before deboxing. I don't know if I can even justify collecting them if they're going to have problems all the time.

Sorry for the lame question; I know others have the occasional quality issue but I seem to get it with every doll. .__.

I don't think the quality is deteriorating. My daughter has close to 70 dolls and most of them are perfect, very few have flaws. Yes, they all have box hair, since she collects them MIB, but that's to be expected. We order about half of them online, I guess we've been lucky :)

Papier, I don't know if it's just you.  I have had pretty terrible luck with a lot of MH dolls too, ESPECIALLY multi-pack dolls.  It seems that if 1 or 2 of the dolls in a pack looks great, the others are hideous!  I have been unable to get the Clawd/Draculaura two pack yet because one of the two ALWAYS looks severely bad.  I have seen over 30 of these packs in person, and have yet to find one where this wasn't the case!  My Clawdeen from the werewolf Target two-pack has an eyeball desperately trying to escape into her hairline.  Misplaced/different size eyes is one of the most annoying flaws to me, and it can be extremely hard to spot in dolls like Sweet 1600 Clawd, Deuce, and Ghoulias because they're packaged with their glasses on (also, hurray for stains and head-dents!)  My werecat twins...I'm afraid to touch their hair because it falls out!! Is that a common problem for those two?  It's pretty awful!

As for SS Frankie....
I got mine a couple weeks ago, from Justice.  She is such a gorgeous doll.  I love everything about her.  I loved her before, when all I saw of her were online pics, but now that I have her, I see that the photos didn't do her justice! The silver highlights on her didn't pick up well in the photos, and irl she is just STUNNING!

I was thinking they might eventually make a full-color SS Frankie, too.  Maybe she'd be part of a multi-doll exclusive pack, that would also include SS Cleo and SS Clawdeen?  It could happen...(much to my doll-multipack-hatin' dismay).

The eye wonk thing seems to be a common thread with my dolls - the left eye being slightly closer to the nose is apparent in two of them, and of course, my Operetta. I bought her from amazon but as I took her out the box there's no way they'll let me return her just for a slightly too high eye and hair frizz. :( I may just sell her nude, keep the clothes and buy the dot dead gorgeous version when she comes out. Someone with a kid who doesn't care too much about the face up might buy her.

And I can't believe your twins' hair is coming out, that's awful :( Also, isn't that a choking hazard for children?

Some of the earlier dolls, like DotD, have had more issues than recent ones. There will still be a wonk doll once in a while but that happens with pretty much any toy that is factory made. And store exclusives will always either have lower quality or be overpriced for what they are.

Post by: Rococo on April 04, 2012, 03:42:37 PM
Yeah, my basic Frankie's eyes were printed too far to the right, so one eye is practically on the bridge of her nose and the other is wandering off closer towards her ear lol. Poor girl. I might have considered selling her but I don't know who would want her with that defect. The first Nefara I purchased from Amazon.com had a similar problem (eyes printed off-center) but I returned her for a refund and purchased a perfect one from Target for a slightly higher price.


The eye-wonk is very common amongst my dolls though. I think they have some sort of eye issue, minor or major (i.e., wandering eyes or one slightly bigger than the other) more often than not. How do the differing eye size errors happen during the painting process anyway, I've always been curious?

Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on April 04, 2012, 03:58:57 PM
My Purrsephone has one eye that's smaller than the other, which is annoying, so I display her with her hand covering her face. XD My Operetta's left eye is a bit crooked, but since that's the side of her face with the scars, it has become my headcanon that her eye was damaged in the same accident that gave her the scars. (Yes, I know they're technically "birthmarks". :I)

When buying MH from a store, I always take a look at all the dolls on the shelf and choose the one with the least flaws. I think mine are 99.9% good! The worst ones I saw had hair slightly off-place or strokes of paint in the wrong place.
Title: Re: Monster High Thread Number 1 Too Many.
Post by: kamakazee82 on April 04, 2012, 06:24:16 PM
... i went through over 70 ss Frankies before i chose one that had the least amount wrong with er ... the limb seams/injection spots/eye size/eye placement was way wonky on like all of them ...and i've seen so many nefera/operrettas with some pretty horrible paint rubs ... took me forever to find nefera's anywhere and the one i recently bought was mostly because "i think i can pick those paint flecks off, i can trim those stray hairs, but at least her eyes are even in size and placement and her clothers are fully sewn ..."
 
and back when i bought my signature abbey (thank god lol) i was super excited to find her as the only doll on the shelf because her hand had popped out of the socket, not broken off, or anything, just the peg was popped out and on the bottom of the box inside lol
 
i think it's a big yes that quality is dropping as they are trying to meet demand, but good dolls still appear and bad dolls still appear, it reallyjust depends on how picky you are as a collector, i am very picky, but my friend isn't and has several dolls she calls perfect that in my opinion aren't ... but then again i own two rescue mh's a dt draculara missing a lower leg and a phys dead ghoulia missing a lower arm lol but everythng else is perfect lmao

Nope your not alone. I don't pick the worst but I don't like picking the best one either.

Thats like my Skull Shores Frankie. I didn't realize til I had done bought them that one had a mark on her nose and under her chin. And thats the one I keep.

I got an e-mail back from Mattel customer services UK today saying that they can't replace DotD Frankie's shoes, so I have to return her to the store. I got her from ebay -___- nowhere in the UK that I know of sells DotD wave 1 anymore, so I had to buy her from America. No way I can return her. I even said I'd pay Mattel for the replacement shoes. *sigh*

I can forgive the tiny eye problems with my other dolls (except uber-wonky Operetta, who I'll probably sell) but I can't forgive those shoes. They're awful - both are chipped, and there's a big patch of dried glue on the toe of the silvery one. :(

I'm thinking that it could be a fluke. Target's website has been a bit disorganized since their relaunch last year, so I don't put too much weight into what it says anymore. They also have Operetta and Nefera listed as "not sold in stores" and I saw them both on the shelves only a week ago.

They may also just have them listed like that because they know they aren't currently shipping out to stores and they don't want to advertise that they are. Most stores only seem to have gotten 1-2 cases of them, if at all, so I can't imagine that will be it. Many people can't find them at the moment, so Mattel probably just needs to make more.

Target's exclusive promotions generally seem to last a bit longer than other stores, I'm still seeing last year's Gloom Beach pack and Canterlot MLP items being put out, so here's hoping this set will see a better distribution as well.

on a different note....I can't say for certain since I don't have a rochelle yet, but I've stared werewolf girl in the face often enough the the last month (rerooted two of them nearly back to back) and....I think they have near the same facial structure. I mean I know there are differences - wwg doesn't have ears for example, but the nose and jawline are nearly identical. Just thought it was interesting.

Thanks!

I have the Hydration Station. Lagoona is adorable! She comes with some little accessories and a Neptuna with a matching sleep mask. Super-cute stuff. The station itself is pretty cool - you fill it with water, and green and blue lights flash, and it bubbles air through it. Pretty cool. The only downside is it can be a little loud, and some tanks have been reported to leak. Mine doesn't, but you'll want to test it out first.

Honestly, if I were just interetsed in it for Monster High, I would think $40 was just slightly overpriced. However, I'm a huge nerd, and I put my Bioshock action figures in there, too. So that kind of makes it worth it for me.

My advice would be too brush it. Well wash and brush it. My Purrsephone (black haired one) was the one that was bad about it when I got her, but after getting out what was coming out after dunking her head in near boiling water, I haven't had further problems and she didn't lose enough to go bald or anything.

The Wall-Mart around where I live sells fashion packs for 8.00 whereas Target charges 14.00 for the fashion packs. I totally agree with you. Eighteen dollars is a lot of money to spend on a fashion pack. You could get a new doll for around that price.

Since I'm really new to Monster High dolls, can you tell me what other doll clothes fit them? And how much do the fashion packs cost the US? They are around $18 here and I'm really apalled by that price!


The Wall-Mart around where I live sells fashion packs for 8.00 whereas Target charges 14.00 for the fashion packs. I totally agree with you. Eighteen dollars is a lot of money to spend on a fashion pack. You could get a new doll for around that price.

Maybe they have Ghoulia's comic book club fashion? i missed it :/

OMG Frankie in knitwear is AMAZING!!!! Any idea where I can find a pattern?

I want Dead Tired Lagoona too.  I wish they would have re-released her as a single in the DT 2.0 line.  I didn't want to pay the extra money for the hydration station to get her, but now I wish I had since I can't find it in the stores anymore.

Knitgirl, I just made that up as I went along. It's basically a top down raglan sleeved sweater, so there's no seams! I also made some waist shaping, but the sweater is a bit too big so they're not that obivous. I think I'll need to do another one and maybe I'll write a pattern.

My advice would be too brush it. Well wash and brush it. My Purrsephone (black haired one) was the one that was bad about it when I got her, but after getting out what was coming out after dunking her head in near boiling water, I haven't had further problems and she didn't lose enough to go bald or anything.


I agree with Ravie, I've experienced this with many of the longer-haired MH dolls. I've had a few seem like they were loosing chunks of hair right out of the box, but I find that it's usually just extra plugs that didn't fully go into the head. My Werecats actually had clumps out by the time I was done brushing them and I looked after to see if they were missing any plugs and none of them were empty.

If you do find that they have any bald patches after, I would definitely contact Mattel and complain. They're usually good about any kind of factory defects and I think that a doll with rooted hair you can't brush with risk of loosing it would certainly qualify. ;)

Speaking of Werecat Twins, I ran into roughly about three cases of them on the shelves last week. I was shocked to see so many but then noticed that every single one had something glaringly wrong with it. One Meowlody was even missing her eyes! I wish I had my phone on me so I could have taken a picture. Someone must have bought it though, as my TRU was wiped out yesterday. I guess I should count myself fortunate that I found two sets prior (one went to a friend) that looked great by comparison.

I'm starting to stress about finding signature Jackson now. I watched an employee at my local Walmart unload a case of Sweet 1600 dolls yesterday and Clawd was nowhere to be found in the assortment. It kind of sucks how Mattel has given people such a comparatively small window to track down he and SS Gil, I haven't seen many of them on the shelves in the time that they've been released. I have a feeling that it's going to be the same for Jackson once Robecca and Venus hit stores. :/

Post by: Obscuria on April 07, 2012, 12:09:12 PM
Thank you Mandy and Ravie for the hair advice. Will have to try that.
 
I have not even SEEN GIL ONCE...and it kills me as he's one of the boys I really do want, and forget Sweet 1600 Clawd as well, tons of the others, no Clawd and Jackson will probably be the same. It is so frustrating, I have given up on Gil which I hate because I just can' afford him on-line...~le-sigh~

Thanks for letting us know about the stands, Ravie! 

I am doing my best to ...hair my sea monster CAM.  I guess rehair wouldn't be an appropriate term, since she never had hair to begin with!  Anyway, I HAVE to do this to all of my CAMs.  I can't stand the wigs, they are so cheap-looking and make the girls look bald.  Here are a couple progress shots of what I have so far:

She looks good so far but you might be using too much in the plugs. What type of hair are you using? I've never seen hair so...high ^^;

Did you ever find a matching pink for Draculaura?

Title: Re: Monster High Thread Number 1 Too Many.
Post by: Tropical_Sunset on April 08, 2012, 12:14:22 AM
I'm using dollyhair, and the "regular" strand size that I use for ponies.  This hair always has a funky lift before I wash and style it, so I'm not too worried.  If all else fails, she can have a permanent pulled back style.  It's not as stiff as it looks. XD

You must be thinking of someone else with the Draculaura hair...

Rochelle and Jackson are currently being found in stores, including Walmart and TRU. Mattel has announced that Robecca and Venus should be out by August, but it's rumored that we'll likely be seeing them sooner than that. Angelic Dreamz has them slated for July and they usually seem to be among the first to start selling the newer MH dolls, shortly before they begin shipping to the larger chain stores.

Ah, I see many others are still on the hunt for Cupid! xD
As usual, all places I'm near are completely sold out of all dolls. ;-;

Anyone in the midwest see any MHs lately or at all? A few months ago I had a stroke of luck with Operetta and Torelai, but I haven't seen Abbey, Spectra, or Cupid at ALL outside of pics online! :(


I've never seen Abbey or Spectra.  I keep searching stores for Abbey but never find her.  I've even gone on days when they put out new stock.

All right, guys, it finally hit me: America's Next Top Monster.

I *have* to do it. Twelve monsters will be competing for the title. There will be a photography challenge each weekend. I'll take photos, you guys vote for your favorites, and one monster is eliminated each week. So give me your ideas for photography challenges. Perhaps we can use ideas from America's Next Top Model? Give me your thoughts!

I'm thinking I'll do 12 dolls:

Frankie
Dracualura
Clawdeen
Lagoona
Ghoulia
Cleo
Toralei
Abbey
Spectra
Rochelle
Nefera
Howleen

On a off topic, but same topic note- has anyone seen the cute watches at Walmart by Dingbats? My husband bought me one that really looks like a MH watch. It's really cute and the little bowed skull turns with the second hand. I just thought since it looked like MH, maybe someone might want one to wear.
http://www.dingbats.com/products/kids-watches/girls-watches/lkw107.aspx
My Walmart also told me they are expecting a huge shipment soon, I wonder what they are expecting.

Post by: Tagi on April 09, 2012, 07:10:03 AM
I have some bits of starter packs that are doubles for me, for free, if anyone wanted anything. Shipping will prolly only be about six or so bucks, slow mail. Good if anyone wanted a replacement I guess.

Werewolf wig
werewolf dress
werewolf jacket
werewolf boots
dragon skirt and top
dragon head
werewolf head and ears (ears are broken, holes are drilled into the side of the were head to get the ears on. Makes a good elf. If the original owner wants this head back they get first dibbs)
dragon lower arms and hands
werewolf lower arms and hands
dragon lower legs
werewolf lower legs
dragon wings

If you want anything just gimme a yell, if its only singles ill post it in a padded envelope. if you want the whole lot shipping may be more *shrugs* we'll see.

I also have (all with no stands):
Gloom beach Draculaura stock (with earrings)
Basic Abbey stock with pet and diary (no earrings or necklace)
toralei stock with pet and diary (no earrings)
basic clawdeen stock with pet and diary. (no earrings or choker but has necklace)

Id like a couple of bucks for these each at least, and shipping will be more on these if overseas.

Aww, that is a cute watch. One of those things I wouldn't wear around though. I'm 22 and always confused for 14, so I don't want to egg that on. DX

Guh, I need more doll clothes. Heh.


EDIT Just as I typed this, you posted Tagi. Uhg, I don't think I can pay for the shipping sadly. DX

Cute Easter Picture!!  I'm jealous lol.

Gave my niece the werewolves sisters(okay well, the Easter Bunny gave them to her lol) and she LOOOOVES them!  She loved them so much I wanted to give her my dolls I got for Christmas lol.  Now she really wants Clawd and Spectra...Greeeaaaat...Spectra?!  I'll never find Spectra!!  lol I wish they would re-release the dolls in their regular clothes.  She got the MH bug a little too late I think.  Really hope we can find Rochelle & Venus, she saw Venus in the nickelodeon movie and got pretty excited. :D

I ordered a couple of Werewolf Girl peices from ebay, and while I asked that the sellers make sure there was no hard plastic in their heads....they both came with hard plastic in their heads.

I was wondering if anyone who wigs their Werewolf girls and have older, all soft plastic heads would be interested in trading with me. This is for my personal collection and I'm really bummed out about it :(

I found Rochelle yesterday too! I admit, I wasn't too thrilled for her when I first saw pics of her popping up online... but I am now officially in love with her. She is so sweet and innocent looking. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic... but I just had to take a pic of her. I put her in Cupid's dress... I thought it matched her perfectly.

Rochelle is looking more and more appealing each time I see her! Her face-up is very unique.


Meanwhile my run of bad luck continues XD the werecat twins arrived today from Toys R Us. I'd heard bad things, but good lord. Their legs are covered in these weird ridges - not seams, just weird scratches - and Meowlody has a scratch on her cheek revealing white beneath the grey. I haven't deboxed them. This is on top of two hours wasted on Cupid. I only managed to check one store, but the traffic coming back was so terrible I got home two hours late.  :mad:

I just need to vent a minute, please, don't mind me.  Plus you guys are the only ones who understand my doll-pain :P   So.......no more Sweet 1600 Clawd!  Why?  I understood (but did not agree with) replacing Gil with Lala in SS.  He had a REPLACEMENT.  Why replace Clawd with nothing?  I am so sad/mad.  They released SS, Sweet 1600, and if I'm not mistaken the CAMs all at the same time, not to mention Cupid, Operetta, and Nefra.  Who has the money to buy ALL these dolls as soon as you see them?  I passed up a few Clawds, thinking I could pick him up later (I was working on SS and CAM at the time.  He was a bit more money than those) and now I'll most likely have to pay double for him.  I have the have-to-buy-them-all bug so to get them all as soon as they come out is near impossible $$$-wise.  Try explaining a couple hundred dollars a month on your credit card to your (non-doll supporting) husband.  I'm an adult with a job.  I feel so badly for the kids who want them all and have to wait for Santa to buy them or the Easter bunny to bring them, or a birthday.  You have to pounce as soon as you see 'em or you will be sorry.  And I thought I learned my lesson with DotD Deuce.  Nope :cry:   That's it.  Boys are now my top priority.  Lookout Jackson!  I'm comin for you ;)

It's crazy to have released all those at the same time. I've had trouble finding anything since Christmas in my area. Shelves have been bare. Most of the dolls I have found have been from target and it's an hour away from where I live. I had to buy Cupid and howleen onlidne from people here. Forget the TRU set I live around an hour and 45 mins to the closest one. I understand you pain and frustration.

In other news I got my Cupid today!!  I love everything about her except her lips. Ha ha I just can't love them.

Maybe I'm optimistic, but I'm hoping we'll see shipments of Sweet 1600 a few more times this year, and maybe next year too?  It came out (widely) only a couple months ago, so I can't see them stopping now.  Hopefully, in those shipments, some Clawds will be included.  I really like Sweet 1600 Clawd, and it's not like the MH boys sit on shelves with no one buying them.  I can't find a MH doll, male or female, ANYWHERE right now!  I already own Cupid and Clawd, but I would really like the opportunity to buy Sweet 1600 Clawdeen someday.  I think she's gorgeous!

I don't understand why they don't make more either. They could be selling so many more dolls, and I think the scalping is going to start hurting Mattel.  It is so frustrating that I feel like I'm almost at the point where I'm just done with collection, plus I have to make tough decisions like overpaying for 1 doll online or holding out to get 2 dolls for that price in the store.  But with gas money being so expensive and my stores never having anything in stock, I'm just tired of wasting my time looking.  I love the dolls but it's gotten so much more ridiculous since I've started collecting them.

I actually feel like giving up too for the same reasons.  I live an hour away from a small shopping town that never has anything in stock.  I feel like crap for paying for over priced dolls on ebay AND paying shipping.  I was pretty shocked to find a Howleen set for my niece right before Easter & was really happy about it but it's the first thing I've found in months.  Mattel really needs to do something about scalpers, I mean, it's basically stealing isn't it?  They take them all as soon as they hit the shelves.  Hopefully Mattel hears our cries lol.  But yeah, on the plus side,  a super nice person on here got me some SS Frankies & only charged me actual price plus shipping, too bad more people aren't like her!!

Aww thanks!! I wasn't a fan of the hawk she had going on. That was super easy to do I just took her hair down and fluffed. I sprayed a little water on to help but I like that look on her much better.

Its Cleo's DOTD outfit with Clawdeen's belt from the 2.0 version. Howleen looks so cute in Cleo's colors. I guess it cause there skin tone is almost the same. You so need Howleen in you collection. She is a must have. He he.

Pfft. I saw her at a local store, but I just refuse to pay the prices here, $43 is the most expensive price for them I've seen...

I'm to that point also. I haven't gotten a doll since Cupid and I wasted so much gas and time and sweat trying to find her it was ridiculous. I really just want the Werecat twins but I know they are legit impossible to find no point in even trying the TRU crew is so unhelpful.

What I dont understand is the distribution...Cupid is literally crawling all over 2 of my local Asda stores but in the US she seems to have been very difficult to track down...while over here I had to fight tooth and nail to get an Operetta and never even saw a Spectra on shelf when she should have been out...

I guess like G4s and Hasbro, Mattel are a little all over the place with distribution!
Title: Re: Monster High Thread Number 1 Too Many.
Post by: aellos on April 11, 2012, 08:09:50 AM
Guh, now I'm torturing myself. Some of Howleen's stuff would go so well on my werewolf CAM (who still doesn't have  name, sadface). Hehe. :D

Again, I think I'm way to anxious about this job interview. DX


And distribution seems to really suck. I think I'm having such a hard time because I live in a metropolitan area, and there are probably tons of people here who collect, not to mention probably a billion scalpers. DX Yeah, I may have like 50 targets in a 10 mile radius (I don't think I'm exaggerating there actually) but that just means more people.




ALSO: Those who want to have Howleen keep her mohawk, but don't want the curly stuff:

Man, I wish I could afford to go out and buy all the Gloom Beach dolls I've seen around here to help some people out. I also see the Sweet 1600 set a lot (aside from Clawd).

I adore the GB set. At this point I have all of them but Draculaura.

On another note, did anyone watch Glee last night? I think Finn fished a Lala doll (possibly DT) out of a swimming pool in one scene...

Creedence, I'm from minneapolis. I don't have much better luck with dolls in my area either but if there's something specific you are looking for and I have the extra money I could try to get it for you, at least shipping would be cheap!

So are the Clawdeen/Howleen set going to be a limited release like the second wave of DotD dolls were or are they just holding off a bit on mass shipping them?

Either way if anyone comes across a set I am sorely tempted to ask you to pick one up for me. :3

so i've got my jackson ... and at least i know they're hitting around me lol

Send me a PM with the dolls/items you are looking for and then I can have it on hand when I go to the stores or call them :) maybe I will be able to get at least a few of the things you are looking for!

when i got my jackson, the lady rechecked her handheld and showed there weren't anymore in the back and what they had was what was out and that she had just put them out 15 monutes ago ... i missed rochelle by 15 minutes WWAAAAAAHHHH! lol

but yeah, i have waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more strike outs than finds ...

Guh, now I'm torturing myself. Some of Howleen's stuff would go so well on my werewolf CAM (who still doesn't have  name, sadface). Hehe. :D

Again, I think I'm way to anxious about this job interview. DX


And distribution seems to really suck. I think I'm having such a hard time because I live in a metropolitan area, and there are probably tons of people here who collect, not to mention probably a billion scalpers. DX Yeah, I may have like 50 targets in a 10 mile radius (I don't think I'm exaggerating there actually) but that just means more people.




ALSO: Those who want to have Howleen keep her mohawk, but don't want the curly stuff:

I was in Wal-Mart today, ran into a old guy friend from college, I was hoping, hoping, hoping for Rochelle, he was looking at MH dols as we talked or his daughter and I ask if  could suggest one and he said "There was one she hid" and what does he pull out?
 
ROCHELE....I die a little inside, but am so glad it was going to her...at least he let me see her before he walked off with the doll I have been dying for, I am madly in love with her now...last one in the store and NO LUCK ANYWHERE else.

If I see a Spectra I will be sure to snap her up for you, Ponyseeker! :)

If anyone spots a Clawdeen/Howleen set would you be so kind as to pick one up for me? I am really desperate for them at the moment because I have a feeling they are going to end up being as rare as the second wave DotD dolls.

Spectras are fairly plentiful here... though a basic doll is $30 and I'm not sure international shipping would be cheap.

I found Cupids, Rochelle, Abbey, SS Frankie, and many more at another Walmart grand opening.

It was amazing to see such a well-stocked MH section O_O  It has to be the first time since I can remember seeing non-bare-shelves.  But I doubt it will stay that way for long.  And someone was good enough just to take the one rochelle instead of both.

I was expecting to pay about 30 for her, is there any way you could get me a shipping estimate if I were to PM you my zip code? If its a pain to figure it out, don't worry about it. I'm just wondering if it would cost me the same to get it shipped from there as it is to buy it on ebay or amazon lol

Collecting part of brain: OMG so cute. I need a loose one to play with!
(buys loose doll from arena member for $10)

Collecting part of brain: OMG OMG she's on Kmart for $4.13! Quick, buy another because your MIB doll has weird eyeshadow!
(buys doll from kmart.com for $4)

Collecting part of brain: OMG OMG she's silver you should buy an extra to make a robot custom!
(buys another doll from kmart.com for $4)

Rest of brain: WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU

Collecting part of brain: But if you add it all together and divide by number of dolls I'm getting each doll for $8.50!

Rest of brain: SHUT UP. GIVE ME THE CREDIT CARD.

Collecting part of brain: ...can I look at ebay?

Rest of brain: NO.

My mom bought me a basic Jackson yesterday, and then I found someone selling a Rochelle. I didn't even have to tell her what I was asking for -- she told me "no, go away" just by seeing the look on my face. XD But that's okay, I'll get a Rochelle eventually.

Question

I'm waiting for Venus the most! I love her hair in the photos! :D I think it looks longer than the other girls hair. <3
Then DT Clawdeen and Robecca <3

There were some new Monster High Dolls at my local walmart last night when I went in there.

Sorry I don't know much about these dolls since I don't collect them but I've read about some people having hard time finding certain dolls; so I'm just offering help if someone can't find something.

There were two of the same doll, she looked like her skin was stone, I think her name was Rochelle and there was another girl with red hair (sorry I didn't get her name) and then there was a male doll as well (again I didn't think to get the name. All of them were new and just put up so I'm assuming they are all of the same set and are new sets. I think they were around $22something each.

If someone is really serious about these dolls and wants me to go back and purchase a doll just let me know the name of the doll.

There was also some other dolls in bathing suits but I didn't really pay attention to them, I was just looking at the stuff that seemed to be new because there hasn't been anything in that section for a while.

It's funny that someone should mention shipping here. XD  Just last night, I was thinking about MH dolls, specifically Jackson and Venus.  I think they'd make an awesome couple.  She'd be all like "Feed me, Seymour" and then he could take her out to dinner.  Aw, yeah.

Well dang. I am in town, still at work so I went to walmart. The girl with the stone skin is gone, and so is the red head. Sorry guys.

They do however have Jackson Jekyll - the eye makup looks good, there are a couple of box issues and has bag strap has come loose/poped out on one side. So if the box issues bothers you just let me know. He does have some bits of hair loose inside the box. Not on his head it just looks like loose bits they didn't blow off him before putting him in the box.

The two girls that are left are Abbey Bomidable - somehow I missed her lastnight. Sorry if I'm spelling the name wrong. SHes got white hair and a blue glittery body. The doll looks good but on the front of the box there is a little red blob of paint. This is not on the doll it's on the plastic of the box.

The other girl that they had left is Nefera De Nile - she is fine and her box seemed fine.

If anyone wants me to pick these up please let me know. I'm still at work, I'll probably be back to check in in an hour.

I really need Howleen, Rochelle and signature Jackson at the moment, like something fierce!

I was looking at Target's website today and they say that the werewolf sisters are only sold online now, is this true?  :huh: Not that I am against that or anything I just think I would have a better chance of getting them in person.

Based on their scarcity and the fact that the item number still scans as "active", I'm assuming it's just a production glitch. Some stores received shipments, some didn't. So, I'm guessing we'll see them back on the shelves in the next couple of months.

I feel your pain; it's driving me nuts not having them yet!!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. :)


Well dang. I am in town, still at work so I went to walmart. The girl with the stone skin is gone, and so is the red head. Sorry guys.

They do however have Jackson Jekyll - the eye makup looks good, there are a couple of box issues and has bag strap has come loose/poped out on one side. So if the box issues bothers you just let me know. He does have some bits of hair loose inside the box. Not on his head it just looks like loose bits they didn't blow off him before putting him in the box.

The two girls that are left are Abbey Bomidable - somehow I missed her lastnight. Sorry if I'm spelling the name wrong. SHes got white hair and a blue glittery body. The doll looks good but on the front of the box there is a little red blob of paint. This is not on the doll it's on the plastic of the box.

The other girl that they had left is Nefera De Nile - she is fine and her box seemed fine.

If anyone wants me to pick these up please let me know. I'm still at work, I'll probably be back to check in in an hour.

PMing you! :)

I am so excited! It finally paid off calling walmart and harassing them all of the time. I not only got Jackson and Rochelle, but I also got Abbey, SS Abbey, and DT Cleo!! Unfortunately when I got there the stock was kind of dwindled and the only extra there was Abbey with sloppy face paint :( Now I know where to look though!

I really hope they do not turn out to be like the second wave DotD gang because I am still going nuts over not having the last two that I need. Technically I need three if you count Lala, but I am not holding my breath on her. Maybe the Howleen/Clawdeen set will be more common with this new shipment of Rochelle and Jackson. Or maybe they are planned to come out the same time as Dot Dead Gorgeous and Roller Derby....I dunno my fingers are crossed.

Speaking of Rochelle and Jackson, have you seen them in person yet Crimson? My wal-mart has generally gotten new dolls in pretty quickly so if you need them I will pick one up for you if there are extras. :heart:

and I have yet to see the wolf sisters at any other target since I bought the ones they had... (that doesn't mean they haven't been in) but I bought like 8 or 9 sets... and they're all rehomed now :)

My current want list for the new and upcoming dolls includes Rochelle, Robecca, Venus, Rollerderby Ghoulia, Halloween Frankie and Lala, DDG Operreta, and the witch CAM pack.  My wallet weeps.

For older dolls I still need a DOTD Deuce, Signature Abbey, and 1600 Clawd.

Don't know if it's been posted before, but i was checking out the website of a huge toy store called Dreamland here in Belgium. The monster high coffin bean and school are up for pre-order. I ordered mine, and they should arrive in about 9 weeks it says. Wich is mid-june? So maybe we don't have to wait til august for the school. Coffin bean costs €36,95 and school is €89,95 :)

I found a few GB Jacksons at the Kohls near my work. They were on sale for $9.99 if you do need more. The boxes weren't in great shape but the dolls looked okay.

By the way today is the Escape from Skull Shores movie on Nick! I have to work when it's on, but I just realized my cable box is a DVR so I am recording it. It looks like it's going to air atleast twice here, 6pm and 9pm. So hopefully it will air twice where you all are too.

After school I dropped by Target to see if they had any new dolls. The store had almost no dolls. I asked one of the employees if they had any dolls in the backroom. He then smiles at me and says, "Oh, I think some of those dolls are on clearance. Follow me." I got so excited. Well he led me to an endcap full of Barbie dolls. 'Whops nothing here, just kidding." He then kept scanning the wrong barcode. Of course he said that they had nothing in the backroom. He told me that I should open up a Target credit card and shop for the dolls online. I left the store with a ton of leftover Easter candy and a bunch of pent up rage. -.-

Oh boy colors.  Virgin Snow from dollyhair, glow in the dark dollyhair, wisteria from dollyhair, and the green is a new favorite of mine from restore doll katsilk nylon green 3.


I'm not sure how much I used since a great deal was partial.  I know I used one full virgin snow and at least half a glow in the dark.  I want to say half of each of the other two as well. So maybe 2.5 to 3 hanks total.  Her hair is pretty thick, lol

She looks great! Her hair looks so thick and soft. I wanted to try rehairing a doll at some point, is it hard to do? I've done ponies manes easily but a doll seems like a lot more work lol

It's really not so bad.  It sure takes longer and more hair, but it works the same way.

The hardest part is covering the scalp.  But I am really OCD about scalp showing and that is why she has so much hair.  I have honestly tried at least three or four plug patterns on a CAM head and always have bald spots.  Argh.

My ghoulia from the fearleading pack does the same thing! Before you display or put her in a sitting postion stand her up, pop her legs into the socket, then slowley move her into that position cause that will make her joints into place. Try that, that's what I did with ghoulia and it worked :)

I'm really hoping it's a two-pack with the two of them, and not a fashion pack. Of course, I'd have preferred to get a Gil/Lagoona set first; but that outfit is darling, and I do want a Slo Moe as well.

Um, does anyone else's Howleen practically pop out of her shorts when you try make her sit? (My gal looks great standing up, but gets, er, major plumber's bum when I even bend her legs slightly.) Also, do any of the fashion packs fit her well (clothing, obviously not the shoes)?

I'm not a fan of Howleen's stock. I've put her in lots of outfits. Like Toralei's fashion pack. Cleo's DOTD dress and Lagoona's extra outfit from the mad science set.

On my way into work I passed by the MH area just to see and they had Operatta and Nefera. I was floored really, I had never seen Operatta in real life. What color is her mask supposed to be? The one in the store had like a clear smoke colored one. They also had 4 Clawdeen bed playsets. I didn't get to buy anything though because I didn't have any money.

I don't know of any link but.

It's not much different than any nylon doll (or Pony) hair. If you want to use hot water that's fine, you comb it out straight and pour the water over it. Whatever position you have the hair in when the water makes contact, that's the position the hair is going to want to stay in. I prefer to hold it down at the ends with a band in sections, and pour the boil/hot water over the doll, wait a minute and clip the band off. This can leave a bend where the band was though, so it's up to you on that. Let it dry before you go crazy brushing.

You can also comb her hair out in a fan, pour the water until it becomes straight, then comb it down and focus the hot water on the "roots" of the hair. 

Some people also use hair straighteners on low settings. I've never tried it (only hair straightener I have would just melt the hair). Relevent: http://youtu.be/GX3QFWB090E (http://youtu.be/GX3QFWB090E)

Anyone play World of Warcraft? He kinda looks like a night elf. When I was watching the movie I heard bear noises and told my husband who was watching with me that he musta been a Night elf Druid switching to bear form. We got a kick out if the whole thing. I know NEs don't have horns, but he still looks like one. He was very cute, I liked that his eyes were yellow.

I really like that they fit B and W Frankie in wit the reason that she looks similar to a old scientist,old enough that her pictures were in black and white! I love that subtle marketing,Its awesome.
I"m never really big on Cleo,but I hope they make a SS of her.She looks really nice with plain black and blue hair.No Tinsel!
I thought it was really sweet that Andy made sculptures of her because she was they one one that comforted him. Thats really romantic in my eyes.
Their hair can grow back really fast.Kinda jealous.Ha.
The tarred and feathered bit was a nice subtle touch as well
I was NOT expecting to like it so much,as when ghouls fall in love fell pretty flat for me.(Still want cupid)
Also:Elephant man.in a traveling circus?oh yes.

I think the SS special was a lot better than the Valentine one.  Still don't like the 3D animation though.  Cleo looks great in flared pants,  I'm going to have to make a pair for mine.

There's a Gorey Gazette article about Frankie's parents having been to Skull Shores, but I haven't read it so I don't know if it relates to the scientist or not.

Agreed! I'd totally say something.
If they were so "gross" the kids wouldn't be buying them, don'tcha think? They're constantly sold out and it's not because no one's buying them. ;) Not all little kids are going to want to buy the Tinkerbelle barbie or the Cinderella one. Sometimes they'll want a zombie!

I kinda hope that isn't the case since they probably won't bother to pair him up with someone else. If they end up phasing him out and then there will never be a Holt doll with jointed wrists. I'd rather see Andy paired off with someone else, perhaps Rochelle or Toralei or maybe Venus. The new girls don't have anyone yet.

I got Frankie for ten bucks at Zellers yesterday! I guess the ten bucks I paid is what the canadian market apparently thinks is the equal tp the $4.19 the Americans are paying. But, still...cheapest MH doll yet! When I first saw her online I thought I wouldn't be interested her, but then I saw her in person. She is amazing!
And the funniest thing happened. I had like ten pf her piled in my arms because I was checking each one for flaws and this lady came up and started yelling at about how despicable I was as a scalper and that buying all the doll to make a profit wasn;t fair to the kids and yadda yadda and I just stared at her with my open and foinally told her I was only buying one, I was just looking for flaws, and I also hated scalpers. That prompted a twenty minute convo about the dolls, which ones are coming out, which ones are being phased out, where we knew to go to get certain dolls....and she didn;t look at me weird for being an adult collector! It was pretty great.

If Andy has been hanging around skull Shores for as long as he has, isn't he a little too old for high school students?
He looks like a cross between a Satyr and Night Elf from WoW as well, not that that is a bad thing. This special was much better than the last too, even with the technical plot questions it raises. No angsty angstyness - well, besides Gill.


Spoiler
[size=78%]For some reason I find myself really annoyed we never actually saw the Great Barrier Reef. Would have loved to see Gill [/size]conquer his fears and the conversation between him and Lagoona's parents. Would have been much better than..."Where did Gill run off to?

Well some of the monsters have been around for quite a while. After all Draculaura just had her 1600th birthday and Cleo has been around even longer. I am not sure if going to Monster High is some kind of thing they have to go through for a set amount of years like normal human high school or if they have to be there through their whole adolescence.

I got the Gloom Beach 5 pack today. I shouldn't have been looking but we all know if you don't grab them when you see them they won't be there later.

I am a bit upset that I had to buy 4 other dolls that I already have just to get Ghoulia. Why couldn't they just sell Ghoulia at Target with a beach accessory or something??  :mad:

omg ravie, she's so pretty! Every time I see people's CAM rehairs I keep getting tempted more and more in getting the CAM set myself! XP

Was her head the squishy type? Any clue if the ones with hard heads still rerootable?

I've had her for ages so yeah, she was a squishy head, and no I really dont think the new hard heads are going to be rootable after seeing their anatomy on another thread.

I wish I didn't have the hard head version of the CAMs, or my werewolf would have some purty purple hair by now. DX

Ditto >.<

except the purple part...

From the CAM Set, I want to see what the Dragon girl with the Vampire Torso and the Sea Monster with the Werewolf Torso. If anyone has photos I'd love to see how they look!

I'm gonna take a guess and say that they won't be soft. They will prob have the new heads. You can always buy a 3-4 or 5-6 size wig. They should work pretty well.

It wouldn't be much of an issue but the MH wigs are notoriously bad. Tho I guess one could use BJD wigs.

The vampire is dressed in Ghoulia's Physical Deaducation dress and as you can see the Dragon is in one of Lala's Sweet 1600 dresses. If I ever get the three eye girl she probably wont be in her stock either. Most of the CAM outfits just seem so...lacking to me.

How many of you out there plan to buy Ghoulia's Scooter?  I'm not interested, but I NEED the box art.  The whole reason I started buying fashion packs was for the "paper dolls" that come with them.  Then Mattel forced me to buy 2 sets of GB dolls, and 2 sets of DotD series 1 so I figured the fashions wouldn't go to waste. I mostly keep my dolls in their stock.  Anyway, I'm looking for someone who is going to buy the scooter and pitch the box and "paper" Ghoulia and Slo-Moe.  Also, I'm just curious if this set is a popular idea.  I'll be snatching up Lala's Powder room as soon as I lay eyes on it, but (like Lala's roadster) I can't get excited about playsets on wheels :snore:

As my collection gets larger and larger, I've decided the playsets aren't really an option for me. They're cute, but unless they offer good options for displaying the dolls and fashions (like Cleo's vanity or the upcoming Coffin Bean furniture), I'll be passing.

I'm definitely curious to see what that newest fashion of Ghoulia's comes with. I'm really hoping for a double pack of her and Slo Moe. If it's just a fashion pack, I might have to get the accessories from the scooter, like the goggles...

That's one of the main reasons I want this to be a doll set and not a fashion pack (although I always welcome new boy dolls!). I've grown weary of all the Ghoulia releases, but I really want the original set of girls to all have a 2.0 release!


I'm actually wondering if we'll see the older characters get 3.0 releases this coming fall? I'd really like to see diary updates from them, plus I just love the designs of the signature/diary lines.

I saw the strangest, creepiest thing at Boscov's today. SS Ghoulia just didn't look right to me on the shelf. I picked her up and to my surprise.... her hair was chopped all off! I mean hacked off! Also her skirt was cut up in shreds. Her face was also wet for some reason. Looking at the box I notice that it has been opened! What sicko would do this and then return it?? To make matters worse I saw that the Ghoulia behind that one was also hacked up. 2?!?! On the same shelf? It's just not right!

I took them over to customer service and tell them that these dolls have been tampered with. Sure enough the lady said those were returned the other day and because it was a monster doll she just didn't notice.  :huh:

Just upsetting to see a doll hacked up and returned. And for what reason? To ruin a doll? Very strange.

Post by: Mandy85 on April 20, 2012, 07:57:15 AM
So I have a question, is anyone else experiencing a build up of glue in any of their dolls' hair? I'm not talking about the hair gel they weigh them down with for packaging purposes, but the gobs of glue Mattel has been inserting into their dolls' heads for the past few years to keep the hair plugs in place:
http://www.dollstuff.net/diary/200904041 (http://www.dollstuff.net/diary/200904041)

I've been reading complaints of the glue seeping through the plug holes with Monster High dolls for months now and never had any problems myself until recently. The first wave dolls I've had since the franchise's inception with no problems whatsoever now have sticky heads and it's driving me nuts. I noticed it last week when I was reposing my Cleo and her hair seemed a bit tacky to the touch and greasy around the scalp. I checked the other dolls that I obtained around the same time, and sure enough, they all had this problem.  :( The newer ones are thankfully clean (Spectra onward), though I'm wondering if it's only a matter of time.

I tried washing my first wave Clawdeen's hair last night with some mild dish soap and water and only succeeded in making the problem ten times worse. The glue wicked down the plugs and made the problem much more noticeable. The plugs appeared take on a separated appearance, you could see each one and it makes the hair look like it's wet when it's totally dry. It also feels a bit reminiscent of maple syrup.  >_<

Today I tried using some "Goof Off 2" and it actually seems to be working, at least as a temporary solution, so I'll see how that goes over time. It's supposedly safe to use on plastic and meant to be used as a de-greaser. I've used it on MLP's in the past to spot-clean and had no adverse issues years later, I just hope it can continue to break down the hair nastiness as it pops up.

I know there was a recent conversation about it on the MH livejournal community where the glue-seepage was also brought to a Mattel rep's attention and I'm also wondering how wide scale it's going to get or if it's isolated to environmental factors and/or individual batches. I think I may be writing a letter to Mattel...

Post by: crimsondeity on April 20, 2012, 10:14:32 AM
I've checked my girls periodically since it was first mentioned on the LJ (actually, even earlier, since the topic was first brought up elsewhere). So far, nothing noticeable to me. Granted, signature Frankie and Clawdeen have always had, slicker, almost greasy feeling hair since I first got them (new in box, almost two years ago). But I wouldn't say it feels sticky.

I'm not sure if it's glue or not, but my DT Ghoulia's hair feels really..Gross!
I just can't stand it. Washing it doesn't seem to do much and it doesn't straighten well either, so her hair is just a mess that I put into a messy-looking bun so I don't have to deal with it. It's just really oily like when you first get Saran hair from DH, except you can't wash the icky away. It's just incredibly greasy..I wonder if baby powder could do anything to soak up the excess oils that aren't washing away..? I hope it's not glue. All I know for sure is that it's really not pleasant to deal with/touch. It's a shame because I LOVE my DT Ghoulia. I'll try giving it another wash with something like head and shoulders that helps with oily hair. x__x

I've checked my girls periodically since it was first mentioned on the LJ (actually, even earlier, since the topic was first brought up elsewhere). So far, nothing noticeable to me. Granted, signature Frankie and Clawdeen have always had, slicker, almost greasy feeling hair since I first got them (new in box, almost two years ago). But I wouldn't say it feels sticky.

Hmmm, I wonder if boil-straightening/perming could be part to blame. I'm sure it doesn't help the problem anyway if it's heating up the glue.

I had been checking off and on since I first started hearing about it as well and just figured they were isolated issues, so whenever I noticed it happening to my own dolls my heart sank. I hope your dolls continue on without any issues crimsondeity, but hopefully it can be kept at bay if it does start to show up.

It seems that Goof Off 2 has taken care of all the external gunk for the time being thankfully, I'm so glad I had some kicking around. I could have cried last night when I saw how messed up Clawdeen's hair looked, it was like the article I linked said, like she had been shampooed with honey. I started thinking about how time consuming and expensive a process re-rooting/restyling everyone was going to take and panicked, lol.

I applied it directly to her scalp after I noticed that dabbing it with some cue tips seemed to break it up a bit, rinsed the hair out with warm water and blow-dried it on a cool setting. It's nice and fluffy again now, the roots aren't sticky anymore, and thankfully the Goof Off also didn't harm the paint any on her scalp (it didn't budge the nailpolish on my hands either and I really scrubbed it in with my nails) but I tried to keep it away from her face just in case.

Thanks Chi! :) I hope your dolls stay nice too. I'm hoping Mattel will just get rid of the glue eventually or find a better kind to work with so we don't have to worry about it happening anymore.

 I am telling myself if I get the dishes done and clean the floors I will allow myself to go on an all evening hunt for the few I want now.  I just really want abbey(and cupid and rochelle) and went all over hunting for her for the last couple days,ended up with operetta. I've been good,still only have my first wave and am not just buying everything I see!

 Bf took the boat off on a fishing tournament blowing money so why can't I? lol! Its just no fun driving alone to these stores for hours!

 I've been to afraid to undo anyones hair to wash it to see if anything is wrong with it. I want to but don't think I can get it back up where it should be.

Too lazy to check for glue seeping through hair plugs (and too scared!  Boil perming has become an important step in my doll displaying process.) but I do have a comment about the amount of glue they use.  My Cupid's head just did not want to stay straight, always crooked to one side.  I gently pulled at the head, and it popped off easily (usually have to use a heating pad to remove heads.)  I looked inside the neck hole and saw a blob of glue almost sticking out of her neck.  I pulled at least 4 or 5 blobs of glue out.  Her head still doesn't sit correctly.  I'm gonna have to get another one and use this one's torso for the CAM Ghost Girl.  Crossing my fingers for all 3 store exclusives to restock!

Just came back from searching for MH dolls.  I looked at Walmart, Kmart, and Toys R Us.  My main goal was to find Jackson, Rochelle, and Abbey.  I didn't see them anywhere. :/  I did find Dead Tired Frankie, which I still need, but decided not to get her.  Both of the DT Frankies I spotted had blurry/smudged eyeballs.  I remember I found a DT Frankie around Christmas that had the same exact issue.  I also spotted a Sweet 1600 Clawdeen, another doll I want, but one of her eyes was printed on nearly out of its socket.

I am so fed up with MH right now!!!  I can't find anything, but on the rare occasions when I do, the dolls are messed up somehow.   :<

Customizers, I need your help.  I was just looking at doll hair for my CAMs and I don't like the Saran color choices.  What do you think about Nylon?  Anything I should know (hair type-wise), as someone whose NEVER done a reroot before?  I think I know what I'm doing when it comes to the rooting, but I want to make sure I'm informed when it comes to texture and tolerance to heat.  MH dolls have Saran hair (mostly) right?  I love their hair, would Nylon be too drastic a difference to me?  Anyone know where I can find wacky Saran colors?

Nylon is a little thicker than Saran, but they behave the same. Nylon can be straightened with a flat iron up to 180 degrees while Saran I'm afraid to go past 90-100F. Saran can also be very oily and should wash away, but sometimes it doesn't. As for the actual rooting process, Saran and Nylon are the same. They'll naturally separate into individual plugs from the hank of hair you purchase. Only difference I have noticed is that Saran is a bit more fragile and can sometimes break while rooting if for some reason you have to remove the hair from the plug.

If Mattel drops the ball and/or you get sick of waiting you might be able to find a customizer that makes plushies that would be willing to make them.

I bought a pack a month or so ago and the serial number was across the stomach and not on the back with the new tail hole.
I've got one of the newer CAM werewolf/dragon packs and it does have the number right across the front of the stomach.  Very annoying.  The heads also come with a hard plastic thing in the scalp.  :/

A unicorn? Interesting. Maybe if the lab girls have actual face molds, I'll make her. From what I've seen of the prototypes, they have flat faces, which looks incredibly weird...

As for the serial number on the stomach, wow, I can't believe I didn't notice that when I was painting it. >.<;;; I wonder if it's possible to sand it off. I've seen people do that to the dots on the panty area of a standard doll...

I feel ya. I'm out in the middle of nowhere for school, and of course I couldn't drive an hour to the nearest Target for the chance they wouldn't have anything at all...so I just never even looked for them :(

I usually just call a store a few times a week (I alternate stores) and ask them to check the UPC right away when they open in the morning. Then if they don't have it I will ask them to check other stores too. Sadly enough now that I've been doing this for awhile the associates must recognize my voice cause they know exactly what I'm looking for.. lol

Are people still seeing the Clawdeen/Howleen sets at all? I keep waiting for someone to post that they've made it to Amazon or something - that's how I got my other dolls - but it seems they're still scarce? Have I just waited too long and missed my chance to snag them?

I have literally only seen the sets I bought.... never saw them on the shelves (cause I called and had my sets held) and I go to target ALL the time

I bought an extra SS Frankie to customize. Omg... The head is a million times harder to pop off than a Barbie's, plus the glue! THE GLUE! I use flower pliers to take the hair plugs out anyways, but I had to break out the sculpting tools to pop the head off without seriously damaging the neck thingie. (I always cut off the pronged part afterwards) D=

Today I snagged a SS Lagoona and I think I might try experimenting on her if the Frankie works out... And I picked up the Draculaura and Clawd double-pack to keep as-is. I love Clawd's flocked hair and sideburns. =D

If anyone would be willing to help me find Cleo's fashion pack from the last wave I'd really appreciate it. :) I've never run into it in stores and the online prices are a bit ridiculous. (found)

I don't think you'll be able to find an EXACT match for Spectra. I'm pretty sure that Spectra's hair is kanekelon, which Dollyhair only has in natural colors. However, judging by what I can see on the site, the saran colors Great Grape and Foxglove Lavender seem to be close!

Help!  I was rinsing the glue out of my Sweet 1600 Clawd's hair and his flocked side burns (for the most part) rinsed right off too!  So, anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?  I'd like to get it as close to mint as possible, but I'm leaning towards paint.  I remember Pickle saying he boiled his off when he was trying to get glasses dents off of his Clawd's face.  I checked his pics and he looks fine.  I wonder what he did to fix it?

Just a heads-up; Rochelle and Jackson are both available at retail prices on Amazon.com as of a few minutes ago. I know Rochelle had sold out at that price the other day, but she's back in stock now.

I had a friend pick Rochelle up for me last week, and I just broke down and ordered Jackson. I wasn't as worried about Rochelle, since she's slated for at least one more case, but I wanted to ensure I snagged Jackson before Mattel got rid of him. My area has been surprisingly dry lately; but of course now that I've ordered him, he'll start showing up en masse.

Now if only Target would start stocking the Howleen/Clawdeen set, I could be caught up :/

Oh Mattel... Please hire people to keep better tabs on QC! T_T

That's why I ended up selling mine to someone who was less picky and could appreciate her more and bought another one from someone on the arena who provided good face pics. If your replacement ends up being not exactly what you want, you could try to get a trade or something on here. :)

I would rather have had your error because even though one pupil looks blown, both eyes were painted in their sockets, at least! xD My Rochelle's left eye wasn't properly painted into the eye-socket "bulge" that her face mold has so it looks like it's trying to crawl off her face to her hairline, or like she has a swollen eye. :crazy:  So sad because other than the misprinted eye, she is so pretty!

It wouldn't be so bad if this was a one-off but I can't be guaranteed that my Amazon replacement will be any better. :P  I'm just hoping I can find a pretty one in stores because I don't want to keep harassing Amazon for replacements... Don't want my account banned for being an annoying customer. :yikes:


I was also at TRU today and finally saw the Werecat twins set in person. Wow, people weren't joking when they spoke of their paint flaws. They had three sets on the shelves and none of them had decent/remotely acceptable paint.  :wacko:  They also had tons of SS Frankies at the discount price of... $16.99. No wonder they're not moving stock; that price is just a tad too much to swallow.
Title: Re: Monster High Thread Number 1 Too Many.
Post by: Chi on April 25, 2012, 03:32:48 PM
But but, you could always ask here for a nicer Rochelle if your replacement ends up being not much better. You don't HAVE to keep bugging Amazon. :P
Oh wow, were the faces THAT bad..? Like, really bad..? That's disappointing.. I saw a few dolls at Walmart and most of their faces were pretty bad. I really wanted the science Lagoona but the black from her eyes had a line going across the entire eye paint and the other eye just looked like a 5 year old painted it. I was pretty bummed but at least I know which Walmart stocks more often.
I noticed those B&W SS Frankies have been on the shelves for a while now. I like her, but I honestly don't like her enough to pay almost $17 for her. She's not that high on my want list..

Title: Re: Monster High Thread Number 1 Too Many.
Post by: Rococo on April 25, 2012, 03:41:57 PM
Hehe if Amazon sends me another one I deem a dud, I'll try to replace her from a nice member here. xD

And yes, the faces were pretty bad... Normally I'm not too picky about MH dolls' eyes and I'd say the majority of dolls in my collection have uneven eyes, with one being a little bigger than the other or not 100% aligned, but the twins were just too much even for me. I think the fact that so much of their face is painted doesn't help matters at all. A lot of the paint jobs on their white facial stripe seemed splotchy/not completely filled in and their eyes were roaming everywhere lol. Good luck finding a pretty Mad Science Lagoona. She's my 2nd favorite one (maybe tied with wave 2 Lagoona, depending on my mood)!

I think the $17 price tag on Frankie is a bit excessive and I would never pay that price either. @_@ It was also tough trying to find her with a decent paint job even though they had at least 25 of her on the shelves.
Title: Re: Monster High Thread Number 1 Too Many.
Post by: Tropical_Sunset on April 25, 2012, 04:04:26 PM
That's why I pretty much never buy dolls online.  I am so picky when it comes to things like their eyes being printed in their actual sockets.  Apparently that's a ridiculously high standard to have, but there ya go.  I haven't bought any of the new G4s for the same reason.  I keep seeing ponies and MH dolls with one big eye and one small eye, and eyes printed out of their sockets and I am just not into that, sorry.

I thought I was paying top dollar for SS Frankie even marked 40% off at Justice.  Then when I saw the ones at TRU for $16.99 I was blown away!!  That doll is less than FIVE DOLLARS elsewhere.  And the dolls at TRU had smudgy eyes... o__O

When I bought my SS Frankie I saw her for $9.99 compared to $15.99. I thought I was getting a huge deal by getting her only for $9.99, then I went to Walmart some time later and I saw that she was for $4.95, so I bought a random one there and returned the $9.99 one and got my money back.

I found a Nefera at Walmart today and picked her up since I saw people were looking for her. She's got a really pretty faceup with only a teeny tiny scratch under her left eyebrow (not ON the eyebrow) but everything else is pretty aligned and scratch-free.
If you're interested, please let me know! I'll let her go for retail + shipping. I can debox her for you if you'd like to save on shipping. :)



She's found a new home in Finland. :cheer:

Awww, I just said to Hannaliten the other day that all my dolls have arrived in a nice shape in bubble envelopes. Well, now I got a doll in a box. The box wasn't taped too well and it had opened a bit. And for some reason one of her hands had gotten loose and now it's missing. She was wrapped in bubblewrap, but that wasn't taped close. So now I got a handless doll and no way of getting her a new hand.

When I get Cleo, I'm most likely going to attempt either removing the stitching or chopping off the weird black tulle part of her dress. I think that makes her outfit look a bit weird, to be honest...

My newest doll! :D  I got her earlier this month but finally got around to getting a pic of her.  I love this version of Clawdeen.  And her necklace?  It's a pull tab from a bottle of balsamic vinegar! XD  Upcycling at it's finest! lol  I'm considering repainting her lips metallic purple but haven't decided yet.

Amazon does tend to sell weird dolls. The Operetta I got from them had a slightly crooked, smaller left eye. I just pretend her eye was messed up in the accident that scarred her face. ;P

I went to Walmart across town this week to pick up something I'd ordered online and had delivered to the store to save shipping costs. They had the (new) paper shelf plan up and put shelf tags out so I read it to see what was expected to go out. There was a tag for Cupid! WTH? I have to go back to get a desk I ordered so I'll grab a store clerk and find out when they should arrive if at all.

Cuddly, I agree, I wanna know whats up with Cupid sticker being on the shelf. My Walmart had the roadster on the shelf and they moved it yesterday to put up the price sticker for Cupid on the shelf. I didn't have time and I am not sure how to use a Telzon to see for myself. I have to go back Saturday to work, so I will ask.
Today I went to Kmart and found some DT and SS dolls. I bought a DT Ghoulia, I liked her pjs. I got my head in the mail today and I love her hair much more then DT's hair, I also love her darker lips. So I am going to switch.

Ah shelf tags. Its part of the mods, each section of shelves gets a set "mod" which is the way the tags are supposed to be put in order. This is decided by the corporate offices. So regardless of if they get it or have ever had it, they will have that tag up on the shelf because that's how the mod works. And once the mods get updated some of those items may drop and get replaced by other items. Its really stupid. I used to work in electronics at walmart for while and had to do those mods every week. And unfortunately with monster high dolls they don't have a way of ordering as far as I know because I tried having a manager order those dolls for me and he said when he put the order in that it disappeared.. monster high dolls are rather elusive..

My Rochelle and Sig Abbey are here from Amazon! One of Rochelle's pupils is just slightly larger than the other, but if I hadn't been thisclose and looking for it, I never would have noticed. The rest of their faces are perfect!

Whoa, I guess that's a pretty common issue with Rochelle. At least it doesn't seem to be too noticeable, so that's good. :)
How much did Sig Abbey cost on Amazon? Were there any other Sig dolls? /scampers off to lurk for them!

My Tiny Teacup Pomeranian Dog named Tiki just made me laugh. I recently got a second Day at the Maul fashion pack for Frankie and Lala and i put the clothes away in the makeup case i got to organize the extra clothes, accessories and shoes. but i let the cardboard cut outs of the dolls around the apartment by mistake.
Afew minutes ago Tiki just ran past me with Cardboard Frankie sideways in her mouth. She purposely does these thing to get my attention to play "if you want what i got come get me" game lol.

So, I found this pic of the upcoming Coffin Bean playset on Tumblr. Not sure who it belongs to. But according to shugashug (a well-known doll blogger), the set has been found in Mexico. So hopefully it'll be hitting the states soon. I cannot wait for this playset!

It's a cute playset, but I'll never get it unless it's on some crazy clearance. xD I'm still trying to unload my Room to Howl bed set.

I can't wait to see all the little knick-knacks it comes with, though. That is one thing I love about MH playsets--the details in the accessories.

I hear you on that Rococo. I have never realized just how big the room to howl set was until I got it. It pretty much ate up all the free space on my little shelf, but all my Dead Tired girls(minus Lagoona) have a new place to hang so it is not all bad.

Random question of the morning...why in the UK has it been so tough to track down signature dolls...but last night in my Asda store there were 14 [yes 14!!!] Cupids on the shelves.

I have never seen them with an Operetta or a Nefera or a Toralei...but Cupid apparently she is cloning herself

No problem,Vortex.

So,I got my first Cleo today!Not how you're thinking however.
My mother and I were in a thrift shop looking for ice skates(Wrong time of the year,I know.Beginning a search)So I decided to take a stroll in the land of misfit toys to looks for bags of ponies.None.About leave,A boy catches my eye.At first I thought it was a forlorn Barbie.Her hair was a rats nest and she had marks on her face.
"Hey mom,look,cared for with 'love'"
wait a second....
THATS A MH.
omg please put her back please please please please
*boy cruelly tosses her back unto a steel shelf*
YES
THANK YOU CYNICAL 7 YEAR OLD BOY.
I needed a bait Cleo for a custom idea.Perfect!She had a 1.91 scrawled on her back(how they labeled prices)But we haggled her down to 60 cents.YESSS.
Now heres the thing:I think shes a first wave.Her elastic has gold in it and her was original length(Before I got rid of it,it was truly terrible.)Her lipstick is a dark wine color and her eyeshadow is a dull purple.
Now,I doubt this,but,Does anyone wanna swap Cleo heads?She had a couple pen marks o her head,but they  cleaned off really easily making her face in insanely good condition.Shes bald,but her face is nice and shes an older doll.I just want to make sure before cleaning all her paint off.
Tl;DR,Bald possible 1st wave Cleo.Pretty face.Interest?

Today I found a GB Frankie with/ bathing suit, shoes, and earings. i was LIKE OMG when i was digging through the bin of barbies and pulled her out. There was a price tag on her leg for $4.99 the thrift stores here are doing stupid prices lately on everything making Value Village prices cheaper. So i was sneaky and pealed it off to see what they'd price me at the counter. I also picked up another cheapy dollar store doll that i wanted the clothes from and she was marked $1, so basically when i paid for all my stuff the lady rang both dolls up as $1 each. WOOOT i paid a buck for a monster high doll YEAY!

I am sorry, but that is not something I would brag about. You basically did a form of stealing by peeling off that price tag and paying way less for the doll. Asking if they would take less for her would have been the way to go, but what you did....that is just extremely rude.

I haven't seen them in stores either and I went to several last night. Nothing but a few Skull Shores Ghoulia's and her Phys Ed version.

If I hadn't purchased Rochelle off a member here. I don't know when I would have seen her. I already have Abby from the earlier release of her but I neeeed Jackson. I don't wanna miss out on him.

I've already missed out on the Werecat Twins cause I don't have the funds to pick them up yet.

Sorry you guys haven't been able to find them either.  I guess it's not just NJ. :/

I am so disappointed right now.
I just opened my new Dead Tired Frankie.  My Walmart had a bunch of the Dead Tired dolls and I rooted through about 15 different Frankies until I found the one with the nicest face.  Little did I know that a nice face-up was the least of my problems.

Her pantlegs are uneven.  Not only are they uneven, they are completely different.  Frankie's right pantleg is a much looser fit than the left one.  She has scraped paint on her legs, as well as dirt and smudges.  The worst part of all is that her left leg is longer than her right leg.  I didn't realize it until I stood her up in her stand and one of her feet was connecting with the stand base while the other one was not.  It is especially evident when she's wearing her slippers, but also noticeable without them.

I don't know what to do.  I have contacted Mattel with complaints twice already.  One for when my Signature Abbey's arm snapped and once for when I got a signature Deuce with a tear in his plastic.  I'm afraid that Mattel just won't care or do anything about this.  I am so upset.

And no, I don't have the receipt. :(

Wow,lucky you!My store has the bags of dolls/ponies instead of a bin so I was definately surprised.Along with that,her forearms are missing.
You got seriously lucky.GB Frankie is quite the cutie.

Speaking of which if any of you happen to have any loose forearms and hands to give,please let me know!Shes bait anyway,so I don't mind if they aren't Cleos arms specifically.

Post by: Yuitsu on April 28, 2012, 05:02:35 PM
I decided a while back to stick to one of each doll. In the UK, we're just getting the first few trickles of the Werecat set. (I refuse to call them twins.) It'll probably be near Christmas we get Venus, Rochelle, Robecca and Scarah.

That said, I think Mattel may have gone a bit overboard to really milk the parents and collectors. The original concept was children of the classic monsters. The only plant I can think of was Seymour, and he was just a plant in a pot. Because we're so far behind and still seem to have stock issues, we don't get hit with all of them at once but releasing 3 or 4 new dolls onto the market isn't fair. Releasing one every 3 months would make more sense. A Skull Shores Gil retails at £11.99 but is being resold for 4 times that because Mattel can't sort their stock out, it's insane. That said I'm waiting to see if they release Gil in normal clothes, now that they've done that to Jackson two years after Gloom Beach..
Title: Re: Monster High Thread Number 1 Too Many.
Post by: Chi on April 28, 2012, 10:01:57 PM
I don't think Scarah has a planned release anytime soon, but I hope we get an estimated date soon. I think she'd be one I'd like to have. :)


I agree, Yuitsu. The stocking for MH dolls isn't great, but the scalpers aren't really helping the cause. The moment they're spotted on shelves, they're usually gone pretty quickly. My local TRU has a "2 Monster High dolls per guest" policy, and I think some stores should consider a simular policy. For example, if they see someone walking out with 5 Cupids and 4 Rochelles, they should say something. It's not necessarily the store's business but it's not fair that collectors and children alike are missing out on toys they like because someone thinks it's okay to be buying the entire shelves and selling them for double.. :/

I have a couple extra DT Frankies that I could look at for you.  I was hunting for one without the googly eyes that she seems to have and ended up with four of them, I think.  I could easily send you one with googly eyes and you can swap heads or I could just send you the body.  Let me know if you might be interested!!

I wish the stores in my area would adopt that sort of policy. I don't know how many times I've seen people throwing stuff off shelves (yes, literally) into a cart and leaving none for no one else. But I guess a lot of stores don't care enough, or don't have the resources or ability (fear of losing money) to do it. Ugh.

I was actually just talking about that with my fiance, about how hard it can be to find dolls and how scalpers make it even harder.  We even discussed limits, so I'm a little surprised your TRU does the limit.  In one way, it sux for the people who can't be there when the shipment gets there.  In the other, they were there first...They probably walk a tight line between the 2.  But honestly, even if they impose a limit per guest, it's pretty clear that the stuff sells XD

I finally got my hands on a SS Lagoona. I am a huge Lagoona fan and strive to collect all her dolls, but the SS line has been pretty scarce around here. I knew she'd turn up as she's a more common doll so  waited instead of turning to the internet and it paid off! She is so pretty! Now if I could only find her DT loose....

Sorry for butting in...I hope someone can help.

I got the werecat twins and one of Meowlody's leg stripes is all scratched up. I have no idea how to mod or repair dolls, so I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if there's a particular type of paint I need to use on her? Many thanks in advance!

I have to say, other than the one dodgy leg stripe, these are the best werecats I've seen QC wise. It pays to shop around and find them in store rather than online! I also saw the classroom dolls and a perfect Nefera...I wish I'd bought her and home ick Frankie now, but all together it would've cost like £70 X|

Just a heads up that SS Frankie was on sale (yesterday atleast) at Kohl's for $4.49. If you have a Kohl's charge you should have the extra 20% coupon which makes them cheaper than walmart!

A Skull Shores Gil retails at £11.99 but is being resold for 4 times that because Mattel can't sort their stock out, it's insane. That said I'm waiting to see if they release Gil in normal clothes, now that they've done that to Jackson two years after Gloom Beach..

I'm hoping for a Signature Gil too. The only time I ever saw a SS one I snapped him up and took him to the till, only for the cashier to tell me that he's not on their system and they can't sell him to me. The next time I checked the store he was gone. That Tesco hasn't restocked since then, all they've had is a single SS Ghoulia on the shelf since March.

Broke down and bought a Howleen off of eBay. Bad girl, I know, but I was so desperate, even with someone on the lookout for me. I get all panicky and I have a bad habit of obsessing a bit over things (usually more important things lol but, she's like my MH grail!) and I couldn;t stop looking her up on amazon and ebay and rifling through pics of her on google. I need her in my possession!

I think the dates are listed in the sticky 'What's Coming Soon' thread. I believe it said August? I can't remember. I'm eagerly hoping to get DDG Operetta. I'm kinda surprised they're releasing two of her this summer. It seems a bit much for a non-core six character! I'm still debating whether to get DDG Spectra. I need to double check if her eyes are any different. All that hair...so many things to do with it!

My new Rochelle arrived... yay!! Her eyes, while not 100% the same size, aren't as wacky as the other doll's... yay!! She also has a multitude of other problems... oh no!!

So I released her from her cardboard prison since she seemed pretty enough but in the daylight I noticed that her eyes eyelashes were super smudged... o___o I guess her eyes got some rub while they were still wet. Plus her lip has a tiny little chip in it (the least of her problems imo lol). I'm going to be keeping her since I already opened her and she could probably be touched up with some paint so the smudginess isn't as noticeable, but you bet your arse I'll be writing a nice little letter to Mattel detailing my disappointment with their QC (or should I say absolute lack of QC).

That said, anyone have any paint recommendations for her eyelashes/lips touchup? I am completely lost on stuff like this and have about 0 artistic skills but I could probably use a toothpick and work at it... If I am feeling particularly afraid maybe there was someone I could ship her off to who would be willing to touch up her bad smudgy paint job so she looks a bit more factory pretty? Any tips, fellow fans? :)

I actually love Nefera just the way she is. When I by a doll, it's for display only, so I buy them on whether or not I like their hair/faceup/stock. I LOVE looking at photos of what other people do to their dolls, though, so I am so loving ANTMonster!
It's so funny, I used to be super against any fashion dolls that had that sort of "slutty" (and I use this term very loosely) appeal with the over the top makeup and skimpy clothing, like Bratz when they first came out. I hated most Barbies, too. I felt that they were representing a negative image and stereotype that I did not believe children should exposed to. But, now, I just don't care lol If the doll is pretty, I buy it! Haha.

I might be able to get my hands on a Spectra. For some reason the stores around here carry her. But she's horribly expensive here, around $40-45. Shipping internationally is also a pain. So maybe a trade would be best, if anyone wants her. Drop me a PM and I'll go look around tomorrow if I can find her.

I'd settle for seeing the Sweet 1600 dolls as opposed to the NOTHING my Wal-Mart has. The last things I ever saw at mine are the Dragon/Werewolf CAM and a Toralei (on separate occasions). Just to know my Wal-Mart is actually ordering MH stuff ;~;/.

I should be getting a ride to mine today as we're in desperate need of bottled water (our tap water is soooo gross).. so hopefully the shelves are restocked and I can find a fashion pack or two, at least.... /sigh. I'm sure because I ordered DT Frankie off of walmart.com I'll see a ton of her, just because the universe likes to spite me :<

I don't think it would work.

All the ghouls in Monster High are based on monsters from old films or based on actual monsters.

Frankie based off Dr. Frankenstein's monster
Draculaura = Dracula/vampires
Clawdeen = The Wolf Man/Werewolves
Cleo = The Mummy/mummies
Ghoulia = Zombie genre
and so on with everyone else.

And atomic bomb is an inanimate object.

Post by: VincentVJ on May 01, 2012, 09:27:56 PM
Yea... That's why I was really hesitant to jump in to it.
I have seen several films (Like one Disney put out) that equated it to a living thing. (Nuclear power that is)
And of course it's referenced as a monster, just not the same kind.

The only idea I had so far was that her hair would be a short bob almost like the mushroom cloud top, and then 40s/50s style clothing.

I have to say, I'm honestly kind of on the fence about her! Which is a huge shock since I've been looking forward to her so much. Her left eye is a little scuffed though, and her lips are darker than I pictured. For some reason she looks really really sad to me, like no matter what angle I photograph her at she looks really depressed lol. I do like Roux though, who is soft and pliable, not the hard plastic I envisioned, and the texture of her skin is really beautiful. Hopefully she grows on me. For now, DT Frankie is still the prettiest in my book!

Post by: Okiedokieloki on May 01, 2012, 10:59:56 PM
It's the shape of her eyebrows. Putting that curve on the inside ends of them - instead of having them straight and simply arching over the eye -  gives a sad/worried look.

I think she is beautiful! I like her melancholy look--so different from the others. But, in that pic, I think she looks more pensive than sad. I can;t wait for her to start showing up in stores around here!

Love the pic! :)

I've been debating on picking her up lately too. At first she did absolutely nothing for me, but the more I've been running into her in stores lately, the more she's been growing on me. I love her shoes, I might just buy her for those alone.


Look who's heeere! :biggrin:

I have to say, I'm honestly kind of on the fence about her! Which is a huge shock since I've been looking forward to her so much. Her left eye is a little scuffed though, and her lips are darker than I pictured. For some reason she looks really really sad to me, like no matter what angle I photograph her at she looks really depressed lol. I do like Roux though, who is soft and pliable, not the hard plastic I envisioned, and the texture of her skin is really beautiful. Hopefully she grows on me. For now, DT Frankie is still the prettiest in my book!

Congrats Rhini! :) I hope she ends up growing on you. I think Rochelle is gorgeous, I just love her wistful expression.  I wasn't a fan of her at first glance, but she may be one of my favorites now.

And Rhini I felt the same way about her. But after reading her diary she has become a fav of mine. She had such a unique expression. I hope she grows on you like Mandy said.

I think I have a MH obsession.. I just realized a few days ago that I have no clue where I am going to put my new dolls (which have not been purchased but will be spoken for simply because I know there will be more lol). I already had to readjust my shelves that my ponies were on and sadly some got put away until I have more room again. But now I'm out of space.. again.. I think I need some new shelves. Cutting back is not an option lol

Title: Re: Monster High Thread Number 1 Too Many.
Post by: aellos on May 02, 2012, 06:55:14 PM
I dunno right now. Apparently it just makes the dolls hair really sticky. It seeps out after a few months, but a few people are saying their Rochelles are already doing it.

And apparently when it gets really bad it starts discoloring the hair. And it doesn't come out, not even with Goo Off or soap or anything. It just makes it worse if you wash it.

These happen in the dolls made in Indonesia, so apparently the only safe dolls are those from the Dead Tire d and Skull Shores lines?

Post by: PonySeeker128 on May 02, 2012, 06:59:00 PM

Nope, apparently it just happens. It's the type of glue. The person I heard about it from lives in Colorado, so obviously humidity isn't the problem either.

Check the lower back. Any doll from Indonesia can be prone to this. Apparently it does not wash out. If you wash their hair it'll make it worse quicker. It'll eventually get worse too from what I heard. Some dolls apparently get the problem right out of the box, while others won't do it for months.

Post by: Mandy85 on May 02, 2012, 07:44:59 PM
When it comes to the issue of the glue leeching out of their heads, I've used a plastic-safe de-greasing product called "Goof Off 2" (it's not the same as regular Goof Off) to successfully get the stickiness out. My first wave Cleo and Clawdeen that I purchased in 2010 were getting really bad just recently and it completely restored their hair, at least for now.

I have it in a spray bottle and get the nozzle really close to their scalp, spray it in, rub it with my fingernails, wash it with warm water, and repeat until I notice the texture breaking up. After, I wash their hair with a sulfate-free conditioner (just because it won't leave a buildup), let it air-dry or blow-dry it on a cool setting, and the dolls seem fine after. I don't know if the chemicals would harm the face paint, so I've been mindful of not putting the product in direct contact with it, although I can note that it hasn't budged the paint used to color their scalp.

On my dolls, it looked like they were wearing "wet look" hair gel near the base of their plugs and the texture felt syrupy. As the blogger noted, it was also impossible to comb through and made their hair look limp and greasy. I was really upset once I noticed it, and washing their hair by normal means did seem to make the problem worse (it literally wicked down the plugs), but after using Goof Off 2, I can say that the outer symptoms are gone.  Their hair is nice and fluffy-soft again. I'm sure it's not a permanent solution to the problem, but at least it takes off the surface glue. For me, it's preferable to the alternative of having to re-hair about 90% of my collection somewhere down the line.

I'm glad I had some of it lying around (I should probably thank my niece from when she went through her "stickers go on the furniture" phase) I was so close to rage quitting this hobby out of frustration, lol. As it is, I'm still in the process of putting together a complaint to send to Mattel. If this becomes a widespread problem I could see it putting a lot of people off to these dolls.

How can you check if your dolls were made in Indonesia or China??? *Inspects her boxes* Only my Spectra, Ghoulia and School's out Lagoona were made in China.

This is bad. To me, we're already paying $20 for these dolls but they're dolls that are all defective!! (if you consider/categorize this as a defect) Imagine those that had to pay $50+ and the dolls are all defective and won't even last a month, since Rochelle was already released and already showing signs of defects!!

I'll still be buying MH dolls, but I'll be putting in a complaint when I see this happening to mine.

Interesting about the glue. none of my dolls seem to have this issue YET .

 I asked my BF  (my knower of all)  about it. He said perhaps  the used an epoxy to coat the dolls hair ( although not sure why they would use it  instead of regular glue which is cheaper) an maybe the epoxy was not mixed correctly in some batches. This would cause  it  not to cure correctly ,  and   the uncured epoxy could then be wicked up through the hair due to temp changes, environment etc. .

 there is not much that could be done if this is the problem, except   possibly what mandy85 suggested which might only fix it temporarily, It would need to be repeated , until all the  uncured epoxy leaches out of the dolls head.
 
 I may try popping off one of my dolls heads to further verify  weather or not they do use a sort of epoxy. BF said he could tell by looking at the  glue they use.
 If any one has any pics of glue pulled from MH heads  they can share , then maybe i don't have to behead  gloombeach DL LOL


 also- i'd like to say, it is also bad if they are using an epoxy and it is leaching out and young kids are putting dolls in there mouths or  getting it on there hands and then eating etc.   seems like, mattel would know better than to use  an adhesive that  could be toxic.

I can't quite remember when I got her...early 2011 though I think and second hand - I think my original Frankie came like that. Her hair was always sort of dingy and sticky close to the scalp compared to my sister's (who got hers in 2010 right when they released) I lived with but awhile back I did boil treat her hair to get out her pony-bump crease (which is still there x.x) and try and get rid of the stickiness - it didn't help of course. Not sure if it made it worse or not, she's still rather dingy and if it weren't for the fact that she's a first issue with the straight pegs (at least i'm pretty sure), I'd have rerooted her ages ago.

Then there's Lagoona, whom I got in summer 2010 - aside from her usual problems, she never had sticky scalp syndrome. I boil straightened her hair once and it stayed that way for awhile, and there wasn't any sticky scalp when I began rolling her hair for her current hairstyle, but very recently I began to notice the discoloration and the stickiness. It's about half an inch along her plugs :\ very disappoint. Once again, I dread trying to reroot because of how old she is.

The only other one I've noticed it with so far is my original Draculaura (purchased at same time from same person as frankie) hers didn't appear until I tried to boil out her pigtail bumps. Even then I didn't notice them until I dehaired her (i was generally unhappy with her hair and she needs a new hairstyle but i pink i got for her is the same shade as her body and looked very odd o_O)

So, in an effort to save Frankie and Lagoona I may try to find of this goof off 2 stuff, especially Lagoona because it's really a drastic change for her whereas Frankie has always been sticky and dingy

@mystic_imp - that actually makes sense. I don't have pictures, but I have noticed in dehairing, some parts of the glue are harder than others, some gooey while some is rock hard. But mostly at lot of is still a waxy texture.

Kinda bummed about the whole thing, because I modified once of my Jacksons and couldn't use boiling water to set his hair  in an effort to avoid exacerbating the glue problems he's prone to (luckily my original one from last summer isn't suffering) and the hairgel I have is cheap and won't hold his new hair down good, hopefully he won't end up with a blue mane sticking out everywhere x.X

I wouldn't go on assuming it'll happen to all your dolls. It could very well be a major batch problem. Some people are trying to say it's not widespread, but I've seen too many people with the problem including myself.
But don't freak out!
Just keep it in mind so we can contact Mattel to let them know in the hopes of getting it fixed in the future. I wouldn't imagine the glue would be toxic to children, but I wouldn't want to guess.

That and I'd imagine that the Goo Off thing would work, but if it keeps coming back, you would eventually get rid of all the glue and the hair would fall out?

I was just seeing it all over the place is all I meant xD! I'm honestly more worried about it because I live in Florida where it's very hot and humid almost all year round, and we don't have a powerful A/C in our room (we have a rather crappy window unit that we can't have the compressor on all the time or the electric bill will sky rocket), and if there's a chance of it happening that's certainly gonna exacerbate it.

Title: Re: Monster High Thread Number 1 Too Many.
Post by: Princess_Luvlee on May 03, 2012, 06:14:52 AM
None of my dolls have this. I take them from 86+ in my room to 50 degrees in the basement where their house is & don't wash out the glue or boil them or even get them wet. As I recall there was a photo comparison thread of the evolution of the doll's hair texture as teh line gained popularity...which makes me wonder if it's not so much where they're made but what hair type is being used. Didn't the hair become a heavier weight as the dolls got newer, or anyway change, so if a coating or type of hair could be found to be the culprit we could help Mattel with our "complaints" by compiling a list somewhere here of the dolls name, year, hair, makers marks, hair type and treatment(by which I mean does it have mattel gel or is it curled, possibly colored)

I'd also suggest not accepting submissions from people who have boil permed or used various things that mattel did not ever intend, just so we can establish a very accurate document of Mattel's mistake. Or putting those into another grouping, since the heat and chemical components are still a valid concern Mattel should use to get to the root (haha) of this problem.

We know now about the ways pony plastic breaks down. We appreciate the line and want everyone to carry it into our future-pass it onto our children if we have them (like we did our ponies) so this isn't *just* an adult collector issue: we call upon Mattel to rectify and not only reimburse. Ultimately we don't want to be purchasing dolls who will become defective within this decade, so I feel our goal is to ensure that newer dolls are "born" free of this problem. The characters and styles are only getting better & if I have to wait long for a Venus, in a different outfit, that will not have seepage, then I will. That'd be all kinds of bad on her =[  I also still think we should bombard Mattel with letters requesting all MH dolls be made of Rochelle's plastic.

Mattel roots them the same way they've rooted their dolls before they started adding glue, so it isn't necessarily keeping the plugs in their heads. From what I can tell, its just an added measure to keep them more secure. Apparently, this has been standard procedure on many of their dolls for a few years now. Here's a post someone made in their blog about a Barbie having the same issue with glue in 2009:
http://www.dollstuff.net/diary/200904041 (http://www.dollstuff.net/diary/200904041)

So far, out of my 26 loose MH dolls, I've only experienced this with three, signature Cleo and Clawdeen, and Gloom Beach Jackson, all of which I obtained in 2010. The only dolls I own from China are Abbey and Spectra. The rest are marked for Indonesia.

The dolls I boil permed/straightened the most don't seem to suffer from this issue at this time (knock on wood) and I've heard it's also happening to people to have never had their dolls near water. I live in a temperate climate and this only just began happening during dry, cool weather, so I can't say if a hot/humid environment will exacerbate this particular problem.

This happened with mine too. Take some Dawn dish soap and really drown her hair in it. Then wash, rinse it, comb it and she should be fine.  Make sure to rinse it very well and squeeze the remaining soap out of her head. I had to wash mine twice but her hair is perfect now. :)

Nope, none of my dolls have hair that look dingy or sticky at all, i lokked at the scalp of them all and it looks fine, i hope it is'nt anything that will come sneaking though T__T

On other news, I recieved my first of the new fashion packs today. I absolutely adore it! :D I did'nt like it as much until I accually saw it on her, I even like the shoes, which I was sure I hated at first.

Still I think I like her other fashion pack better. But this one is'nt bad at all :)

Wow, all of this stuff about the hair getting all sticky is kind of scary, and to think I just got my first doll (SS Frankie) less than a week ago. :yikes:

Thankfully it doesn't look like she has it, I think. Maybe? Her hair is kind of stuck together but not necessarily sticky, I thought it was just some kind of hairspray to make her hair keep its shape.

Good to know that washing the hair makes it worse, though, now I know that if I do get a doll for sure with this problem I'll know what not to do. @_@

You guys finally broke me! (tuney, you need to work in advertising at Mattel. I mostly blame your gorgeous photos!) I picked up SS Ghoulia at Walmart last night, my very first MH doll. I reaallllly hope they don't mulitply!
I really do love her, though. This was the first time I'd seen dolls on the shelves (aside from the GB pack at Target), and it was exciting! I knew I wanted one, and it was between Ghoulia and Lagoona, but Ghoulia was the only doll left, so her it was. There were two of her at the store, along with two CAM packs (Vampire and Seamonster) as well as some keychain kit and the dress-up kid's wigs. I chose the Ghoulia with the better hair, although I noticed later that her eyes are a bit uneven and there's some odd paint in a spot or two, but she's really pretty! I especially love the green eyeshadow and the shorter hair! I'll post pics when I get the chance, promise.
But jeeze, these girls are so delicate! I'm afraid of snapping her limbs off. Oh, and a question: When I first brushed her, she seemed to have quite a few loose hairs. Not whole plugs, it just seemed like a lot came out in the brush, but she doesn't have bald spots. Has anyone else noticed this?

Oh, and question. Would fingernail polish remover be strong enough to remove something small like Lala's heart on her face?

Depends. If the remover has acetone in it, it could work. Better to buy a jug of pure acetone, though. It's cheap and SO very useful. Just keep it away from all your collectibles! I keep mine in the bathroom under the sink.

The body's hard plastic becomes a little sticky when exposed to acetone. The heads are vinyl, and acetone removes the paint with no adverse effects.

So I have an idea for the new MH sales and trades forum! Instead of a billion threads looking for Cupid/Howleen/etc, how about we make one Wanted post per dolls and anyone who wants one post there? Kind of like the bounty hunter thread, but more focused.

I havent had a problem at all using Sally Hanson's Acetone Nail polish remover on a bunch of my customs to remove frankies stitches etc. its been fine for me i use a qtip or a cotton ball to remove the paint and its been perfectly fine.

*Squee* :squee: Went grocery shopping, came home with Rochelle instead!! jk

Checked the toy section just to see if anything is new, not expecting anything restocked and from the distance I saw a Nefera and thought "Oh, most be its just wave 3 dolls" I looked around and it only was Nefera and the classroom dolls. Right in front of her was who I thought was Operetta, turned out to be Rochelle! Her face seems perfect and I can't see any flaws on her, took her in a heartbeat!!

A little upset that the top of the box got moist from the rain, hopefully it'll get dry and won't be noticable.

Yup. I'm very picky too. I only want certain ones that I think have the best designs & concepts and I keep them in box. In order I received them: Toralei, friday 13th Frankie, Opretta, Cupid, and Rochelle. I actually past on an opportunity to buy Spectra in store because I don't like her dress or its color on her. Its too Hot topic-y cheap looking for me, and something more blue and less red would look better on her. I like the preview of her dot dead gorgeous dress, so I might pick her up then instead.

The others I want to get in the future are Rebecca Steam, Venus, some of the second batch of make a monster look cool, and the upcoming Halloween line looks amazing! Draculaura literally took my breath away when I saw her preview! That is what I was hoping they'd do with the line, emphasize the dark fantasy aspects/original monster's look and feel. I want to pick up everyone minus Howleen (who is a trainwreck in that release). But, I'm watching and waiting for coolest release of each of the main characters. I really wish Lagoona and Ghoulia would get some more fashionable looking releases because I like them a lot, but I can't justify  getting them yet.

$20 a doll is sooo expensive though, I'm glad I'm being picky and not collecting everything like with g4. It would take up too much space in my room and kill my wallet. I don't think I wind up changing my collecting habit either for these reasons. I'd only pick up the other girls/accessories if I saw them in a garage sale or thrift store for cheap to rescue them.

Well, after watching this thread...forever, I decided to buy a doll today (and an extra Rarity) SS Ghoulia for $12 at Walmart. I know nothing of them, but she looked cool, not sure if it was a good choice over the Friendship Express train, but, eh, I like her. Not that I plan to buy any more unless i see more really cool ones in stores, I can easily throw money on ponies cause they're cheap, but these, nope.
How awkward it was to tell my mom that her daughter, who's only girly interest is ponies, wanted to buy a DOLL. >.>

I just got home from an all morning shopping trip.  Jackson's really on my mind.  People keep comparing his availablity to Gil's and it's making me panic.  So I visited 7 stores looking for anything new (Rochelle, Jackson, or the 2 newest store exclusives) and nothing.  Then I decided to pick up some paint to fix up my Clawd's side burns, thinking at least my shopping trip wouldn't be a total loss, and they were out of just about all the brand of paint I use.  Almost felt like I was looking at a MH section :lol:  Really upset now, and a headache to add to the mix, I decided it was time to give up and go home.  On the way, I made a point to stop at TRU and they had Rochelle, and a Sig Abbey (that I've been hunting down since last June.)  I payed the price (24.99) cuz I'm so dead tired  ;)  of circling half of Michigan looking for these things.  I used to think "wait until they've been out a while and they'll be easier to find" but then I think "what if had waited on Gil.  And you almost missed Abbey too, if they hadn't re-released her."  The Rochelle I got has a bad eye as well.  But at this point I don't care.  It's not like I'm gonna have her an inch away from my face all the time.  I'll never even notice.  On a side note, at Walmart they had a clip-strip of sunglasses that were replicas of the Gloom Beach ones the girls have (no Jackson ones :( )  I wanted to get one of each, but I didn't.  I couldn't even try them on, I was so embarassed about how excited I was about the stupid things :lol:

If you're going off what their site says, don't get your hopes up, their site said one near me had Spectra and a few others, but all they had was 2 1600 Clawdeens and a Nefera.  I was quite bummed.  I wanted at least the Lagoona they said they had :/

Well, earlier today it said that they were "out of stock" then, a few hours ago it said "limited stock", and now it's back to saying "out of stock". Either they weren't there to begin with, or someone bought them before my boyfriend got there and it took an hour or two for the website to update. Still bummed, because 4 days ago they were in stock at Novi and I told him not to go that far to get them XD

The reason why I trust the website is because it has always been accurate for me.

Yeah I thought it would be too since it usually is, but their site says they have Spectra, 2 types of Lagoona, Holt, and a few other types all in stock at this store.  Not just limited, but in stock, and it still says in stock ._.  Guy even checked the back for me, said there was nothing at all.

Next time I'll probably just call them first lol, usually they'll hold something for a little bit.

Yeah definately call stores, I learned that the websites are far from accurate with monster high dolls. Those things sell so fast that their system online can't even keep up with it. Pretty rediculous. But usually, at least all of the times I have asked, the associates will hold dolls for you if they have them in stock :)

Yeah, I suggested that he call, but he was convinced that the employees wouldn't have a clue. They told him they were getting some in on Sunday though, so we'll see.

Also, TRU is a pain....he went out last week to see if he could find out about the werecat sisters for me. They told him that their shipments were every Thursday morning and that they were expected 6 werecat sister packs. He went out yesterday morning....shipment moved to today. Went out again this morning...they didn't get any werecat sisters -_-

And he couldn't call to ask if they had gotten them because there is a line outside on the mornings they get shipments in  :|

Post by: PonySeeker128 on May 04, 2012, 07:26:51 PM
Shipments are such a pain. I had a horrid time trying to track down cupid and then after finally getting one elsewhere I found one in stores today. So far I haven't had too many issues with Toys r us, my biggest problem with them is when I ask them to check other stores for items and their computer tells them the other store has it only to call that store and be told that they don't. That's happened twice. Otherwise they've always got their shipments on the same day and have answered the phone and held dolls for me when they've opened. I guess I'm just lucky..
Title: Re: Monster High Thread Number 1 Too Many.
Post by: Prismatic on May 04, 2012, 07:43:51 PM
My local TRUs aren't too bad, I just have to call around before I find what I'm looking for.  When I was looking for the werecat twins I had to call 3, first my normal one, who told me they had none, but 2 others did.  Then I called the closer of the 2 they gave me, and they told me all were gone.  So I called the last one, and originally they told me they had none, but I got lucky cuz someone in the background corrected the person I was talking to and said they did.  They would only hold one for me, for no more than 2 HOURS lol.  Luckily my fiance had gotten off early, but he had to drive 25 miles both way to get there.  By the time he got there, the one on hold for me was the ONLY one left...the rest had been bought within the 2 hours they held mine o.o I had kinda wanted to get another lol.

I saw on target's site that the werewolf sisters are 'not sold in stores.'  Does this mean no more?  :(  Howleen's top on my want list...I picked up an extra werecat set hoping I could trade for them.

Could be that stores decided, for whatever reason, to not carry them in stores anymore. Or it's just a mismarked online, since that happens.

I am so annoyed that it's going to take over a week to get DT Frankie from Walmart.com... and it was only coming less than 500 miles away from me :| (Not to mention tracking it on three different sites gives me three different answers as to where it is)

TRU Canada updated their website today. You can now preorder the upcoming roller dolls and playsets (to be coming in June).

The mystery behind the Powder Room Draculaura and Scooter Ghoulia dolls appears to also be solved. They're now listed as Toys R' Us Exclusives. If anyone wants these dolls and plans on getting these playsets, I'd hold out from purchasing them elsewhere.

Her boots should be different in the final run. :) For whatever reason, sometimes the promo pics have shown the dolls with shoes from prior releases before the concept is finalized. They did the same with Skull Shoes Frankie in photographing her with signature Frankie's striped shoes, but they were changed once she was released.

Here's a peek at what Ghoulia's boots will look like:

Sick of TRU getting MH exclusives. Sick of MH store-based exclusives in general, tbh. I've still been unable to even see Cupid in person let alone the Howleen/Clawdeen set.
Ghoulia's boots are awesome, though. I will be passing on both since I don't normally collect playsets.
I still have a Cupid for sale if you are interested. If I don't sell her in the next couple days I am going to have to return her because I need the money >_<
And on a side note.. who rocks Spectra's outfit???

well crap! looks like i will be adding TRU to the "stalk" list, cause i need the scooter if it comes with a Ghoulia.....even tho her shoes look like repaints of her signature shoes

Her boots should be different in the final run. :) For whatever reason, sometimes the promo pics have shown the dolls with shoes from prior releases before the concept is finalized. They did the same with Skull Shoes Frankie in photographing her with signature Frankie's striped shoes, but they were changed once she was released.

Here's a peek at what Ghoulia's boots will look like:

YES!! I thought I had seen her with different shoes, but all the other shots i have seen were the old ones. Sweet! I might have to pre-order her. hmm.

Hi, guys!! Wanted to let you know that I have two CA Cupids on eBay atm. I feel guilty putting them up for auction, but I already sold three for cost to the community here, and I really could use the extra cash :/

If you're interested, here they are: http://www.ebay.com/itm/120908902629?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_500wt_1156

The mystery behind the Powder Room Draculaura and Scooter Ghoulia dolls appears to also be solved. They're now listed as Toys R' Us Exclusives. If anyone wants these dolls and plans on getting these playsets, I'd hold out from purchasing them elsewhere.

I guess the version without the doll is the regular version and the sets with the dolls will be TRU?

But i'm with you I'd love a Slow-Moe Doll and would be totally awesome if a 2 pack.

in other words.
I just ordered the new Toysrus Exclusives!
So happy I'm actually able to have access to these with out having a Toyrus int he city. YEAY! I rather have a Toysrus Exclusive rather than a Walmart or target cause at least you know you might be able to get a hold of it here in Canada. YEAY!

 yeah there is no reason i can see that  they won't make a SLO- MOE for  ghoulia.. maybe they might even release him when the packs are out as a single.. i mean he IS in the promo artwork.

lol, yes, them, and just plain Operetta love.
I LOVE her rockabilly/psychobilly style. I want to dress her up in more psychobilly.

Rochelle would look great in curled pigtails and sweet lolita but with a creepy twist

and I'd have her twin with the imagined skeleton custom project

I fell in love with the spine detail on cupid's wings but not sure if want cupid...
HOWLEEN IS SO DAMN CUTE and she reminds me a bit of Tuneful (the pony) x)

I am in serious need of Jackson and Rochelle!! More Jackson because I am afraid with the next case revision that I will miss out on him entirely. :(  Everywhere I look around here has their MH sections totally wiped clean, so I am unsure if I will ever get him...I hope so.

I love scooter Ghoulia's boots, but that is it and with TRU's prices that is not enough to warrant my purchasing her. Powder Room Lala's hair is nice, but beyond that she just looks like DT Lala re-used.

For those of you who have found Rochelle:  How much green-blue does your doll have in her hair?  Mine has a stripe on either side of her bangs and one straight down her back.  Oh, and her bangs are saturated with the blue-green.  So in other words: Not much.  Her artwork has about 50/50.  I think I'd like one with more color.  Do you think I could find one? Or does everyone have the same sort of haircolor as I have?

Well, it's a Walmart exclusive, so you'd only find it there anyway....and it's been awhile since it was released, so I'm guessing very hard to find.

And is sig. Jackson really that hard to find? My boyfriend went to Target the day before yesterday to track down some wave 2 dolls for me and said they had lots of him.

I typically go to Mejiers here. Any one I can get. I'm closest to the ones down in Madison Heights and the one over on Van Dyke. They have decent selections, but it's Mejiers so they don't have an exclusive super sought after stuff. DX

And the fact that I live near 50 Targets (and that's barely an exaggeration!) and they all have like five dolls between them makes me sad.

Yup!  That makes me sad too.  Sometimes I wonder if it's better to live somewhere with a thousand stores to drive around to, going home with nothing, or living around 2 or 3 stores.  I could literally shop all day, driving all around south east Mich. and come home empty handed.  Luckily, there are some awesome, generous, thoughtful people here willing to help.  I only wish I could return the favor.

I don't think it makes a difference where it's at sadly. My friend down where I lived before I moved here says she can barely find anything either. In fact it's worse. DX And there's only a few places to go there.

Didn't check the price because it didn't cross my mind to do so for some stupid reason, but there were right there with the lala/clawd and duece/cleo packs so I'm guessing is is whatever they retail for at the moment. Operetta and Nefera were in every store I looked too (Target, Kmart and Toyworld) but no Abbey. She is still as hard to find as ever I see.

Definately not enough Were-sisters out there. Nope.

I just found me an Operetta! Wooo, Walmart has not failed me this time. Typically it's so washed up that there was always a lone SS Ghoulia sitting askew on the shelf, but this time it was STOCKED. No Cupid sadly, but there were like 3 Operettas, 4 Neferas, 1 Abby, 1 Rochelle, a few 1600s, and a BOATLOAD of DT and SS dolls. Not to mention they had Frankie's bed, the Hydration Station and DT Clawdeen. WOOT.

...after a horrible morning (one of our dogs died... he was rather old, but still sad...) my fiance, his mother, and I were able to get a ride to Walmart to do our food shopping I walked over to the MH aisle, a little upset when I saw only dress up stuff where the DT/SS dolls were. But once I got in there I saw a Rochelle <3! She had a horrible ink/dirt mark on her face.. so I rooted around and found another hiding behind an Operetta... I'm a little annoyed to know that there had been another Abbey on the shelf (there was only one when I went over there) and one of the workers set it aside for herself for her granddaughter :| ...

They also had two Jackson.. but I lacked money for two things. I'm also worried because they shrunk down the MH section in the aisle... they had two Operetta, Nefera, Jackson, and Rochelle plus the one Abbey and that was it for dolls. And only one DT tag when there had been two for that and two for SS just a few days ago... ugh. This is the only place I can really look for dolls ;o;/

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure store workers aren't supposed to "set stuff aside" for themselves. I was under the impression that they had to put it out for customers to have first chance at it.
Title: Re: Monster High Thread Number 1 Too Many.
Post by: aellos on May 09, 2012, 01:09:52 PM
Yeah, I think we're allowed to set stuff aside. Does it make it as fair? No not really, but I don't see much of the problem so long as they don't set TONS of stuff aside. One doll? Sure.

I know we are allowed where I work, one girl set aside a scrapbook that was on sale. Same deal, as long as she didn't take a bunch, it was alright.

It does suck, but it's no different than people hiding dolls to get later *shrugs*.

I was fairly certain that my Walmart does not allow that, or at least Walmarts in my area in general. Really my only reason for being at all ticked (I don't even want Abbey), to be honest.

Yeah, most of the time, the dolls I tend to see more than the others is Nefera (sometimes Operetta).

Here's a question: How is Rochelle's name pronounced?? Ro-Shell or Rock-elle? I've heard it pronounced both ways and I wonder how everyone here pronounces it.
Title: Re: Monster High Thread Number 1 Too Many.

I call her both depending upon what I remember.

And Nefera seems to be prevelent over here in Metro Detroit too. DX But sometimes even she's hard to find.


And my Operettas hair just keeps getting bigger and bigger! I keep brushing and brushing!

He is still in box and only a state away. I am hoping when I go in work to see something new in the MH area. I been really wishing Rochelle or Abbey would show up. I did get lucky and got a Operatta at my store. They had Nefera too, but I already had one. It just so dumb I cannot look on the comp at work and see whats coming or order something new.

I have a random question that I haven't seen come up elsewhere here.  I just got a DT Frankie today, still MIP.  I noticed that the ends of her bangs look like they have little white dots on the end.  It almost looks like when you burn plastic and it beads up.  Or maybe it's glue?  Although I have no idea why it would just be at the ends of her bangs.  Any ideas?  I haven't noticed this on any of my other dolls.

So after being completely excited about getting Jackson off ebay, and writing earlier about my store not having anything new... I go into work to find 2 Jacksons, 2 Rochelles and 2 Operatta, 2 Neferas..... I could have just fell down dead right there. This lady was poking through them when I walked up. I asked what she was looking for and she said the "plant girl". I said she doesn't come out until August. The lady looked like I was making up a story. I told her I was on a website that said what and when. She then saw me oogling Rochelle and snatched one up before I could even compare the too and walked off quickly. I ended up putting Rochelle back though, because I had just spent my "doll" money for this paycheck and I couldn't spend anymore. :(

Ignore that, just did a stock check for Chichester as I'm heading to my Dads later today and they have ONE! Reserved and mine! BOOYAH!

WANT.  ALso, I found Abbey AND Rochelle today but has to only choose one..dang it all.  I need to go back and get Abbey.  >.<  There was only one of her there.  If I can't find her again, would one of you be willing to help me out with getting her?  Same with Rochelle?

HOLY MOTHER OF MH. Dat Clawdeen 0_0 She's beautiful. I want. Do we have any more details about them? I love Frankie's outift too, and Draculaura would look so much nicer out of that...interesting outfit.

Also, if anyone is still looking for Operetta, Nefera or 1600 Claude, there's some local to me.

I like Clawdeen's outfit minus those shoes (hope they're just placeholders) and Frankie's dress minus her totally un-glass slipper-like shoes... Those are Cinderella's trademark! Her glass slippers! Maybe there's another outfit in the works that have her in her ball gown. :biggrin: Lala is just a hot mess... I guess she's supposed to look like a poisoned apple, with that hideous green drip of an outfit? Still ugly imo.

Oh my GOSH, I looooove that Little Dead Riding Hood Clawdeen!  That Draculaura's outfit is horrendous, though, ugh.  Someone save her from it.  I like that Frankie alright but shouldn't her shoes be clear? :/  How is she supposed to be Cinderella?

Also, I'm a little confused.  I heard that Abbey would be in a case with Rochelle and Jackson, but I keep seeing Abbeys on the shelves along with Nefaras and Operettas.  Are there two different cases with Abbey?

Also I saw the weirdest thing at Kmart today! Along with the Dead Tired and Skull Shores dolls, there was one DOTD Frankie!  What the heck?? o_O

I'm more excited about the fairy tale dolls than I am about anything that's upcoming (besides the new Sig. dolls, of course.)  I've been hoping Mattel would give Clawdeen a different haircolor for a change.  Purple works so well for her, and I love it, but I always look forward to what crazy hair she'll pull off next.  It looks to me like she'll have some red this go around.  LOVE it.

I'm really loving Threaderella, but the other two... Eh, not so much. I like the concept with Dead Riding Wolf, but I think the dress is a bit on the unflattering side.

To be honest... I wouldn't be surprised if they made these three the SDCC exclusives. Sure, it's a jerk move, but I could see them releasing three. I have been kind of scared they would release more than one.

Please, pleeease no. I need all 3 of them and if this is the case that would be impossible. Don't do this to me Mattel!

I have no clue why they decided Lala as Snow Bite needed to be green though. It's Apple-y I guess, but they have another monster who is green and pink, with a plant theme so... what happened there? I'll still be buying her, of course, and giving her clothes to Venus, as I don't like Venus' stock outfit.  :P

I'm in LOVE with that rehaired Toralei. I wish I had the guts to rehair some of my dolls but I'll probably just end up sending them to someone else to do it for me as a commission since I have no idea how to remove their heads without ruining the functionality of it. :(

What's got me wondering for a while is what the new monsters will be after Rochelle/Robecca/Venus. New monster crew? or will they finally release Scara, Daughter of Arachne and/or maybe even Headless Headmistress Bloodgood. They been on the back burner since like forever.

new dolls are cute but i like the ghouls rule dolls so much better. I  loke frankie as threderella   shes my fav..  snow bite,  thats a cute name for lala's doll, but  they could have done SOOO much more with her.. it would  have been cute to see her with a bob l and bow n hair like disney snow white,  i also wish the dres was a bit more princess- ish,  i mean as she is now, i can't guess who she is supposed to be.  and i do think maybe use of venus would have been better here.

 clawdeen is cute! But donno if i will get her. 

 hope these are not SDCC  and hope they are just more halloween dolls.
 if they are sdcc, i may see if i can get frankie she is cute.

Thanks everyone! I used around 3-4 MLP hanks of Dollyhair Nylon on her. I used some blonde I got in a surprise bag, Pussycat and Cherry Pie. I also repainted her lips to fit Cherry Pie.

And the dress is so simple that I didn't use a pattern, it's just got a couple of folds on the front.

I'm so glad I don't have to limit how many of these dolls I can have. My pony herd is small and staying that way, so I have the space to display them, so as long as I don't end up skipping meals or anything silly xD It's a good thing, as I just bought my 30th doll and I have another... 17 on my wishlist o_o
I'm lucky my friends' ideas of a good day out is staying inside and playing video games. x\D

Back in 2010 i wasn't collecting much of anything and pretty much gave up pony collecting off the internet. Back in 2010 and saw the first TV Special I was Hooked on these dolls for the uniqueness. I never thought I'd go back to my dolls ever. LOL now I'm preferring these over my other collections lol.

Originally I wanted to stick with getting only 1 or 2 of each character.  And now I have something like 5 or 6 Frankies and I plan on getting Ghouls Rule Frankie too.  I need to sell a couple of them but I just can't decide which ones!  Same with Clawdeen, I've got 4 of her now, but they're each pretty unique.

I've done the same thing.  I was going to allow myself one MIB and one to play with of each character.  But I can't resist...  And I just LOVE Frankie!  I keep finding reasons to get just one more version of her.  :)

The good news is, there are also characters that I'm just not a fan of the dolls- all the boys so far and the mean girls...meh.  So that gives me an excuse to get Moooooorrrrreee of my Faves...  Yay!  :D

I said I was going to stick to mainly the Main Signature dolls, and so far I'm doing a good job and I'm actually surprised that I have XD .

The only duplicates I have are 2.o & Mad Science Lagoona and B&W SS Frankie. Other than that I basically have most of the main Signature Dolls. (Missing Abbey, Werecat twins, Howleen and the boys, but I have no intention of getting the boys.)

I haven't even bothered to say "I'll only collect __ dolls"... I've been trying to narrow down which ones look enough alike to justify not getting all of the dolls. I'm more interested in having all of the clothes than having all of the dolls...but I'm pretty sure there will be more than one instance where I get a doll for her clothes and then want to keep her  :lol:

Post by: SparklerGirl on May 12, 2012, 11:11:06 PM
Okay, just counted.  So far I have:

5 Frankies (original, School's Out, Gloom Beach, Dead Tired, Skull Shores)
3 Cleos (SO, DotD, DT)
3 Draculauras (original, GB, SS)
2 Lagoonas (original, Mad Science)
2 Ghoulias (original, Physical De-education)
And the originals of Clawdeen, Spectra, Abbey, Rochelle, Operetta, and Cupid.  All of my original girls are still MIB.  I love Monster High!  :D

Gah, forgot to add Cupid to one of the signatures I didn't have. XP Since she has the same headmold as Ghoulia. Kinda makes it look like Ghoulia trying to cosplay as Cupid. lol

Finally Clawdeen has an awesome dress!!  She looks the best out of the three!  Yay!  I loooove Clawdeen & so does my niece :D  I'm so happy!  Draculauras dress is homely as heck though lol.  Oh, and I wish they would have dont Cleo, she is becoming one of my favorites.

Really like the additions to the Skull Shores line in the pack
Absolutely LOVE the DDG pack
Coffin Bean set looks alright too
Killer Style are pretty good as well
Roadster Draculaura looks so sweet, and has pink hair on top of the black, something I've wanted for her for ages!

They make me cry too, because it's so hit-and-miss on whether we get them imported over to Britain! We don't have any of those stores!
Also because now I'm going to have to buy the whole Coffin Bean playset to get that Lala. Need her at any cost! And likely the Roadster version, need to see her outfit. And I will buy the DDG 3-pack too, because having money is overrated anyway.

Well, I guess I have to get Lala's car now.  Why is Mattel making me buy all this stuff I don't want, just for a doll?  I'm telling you these people are brillant!  Because I had to have every doll, (wasn't even a question.  Right from the start.  All or nothing.) I decided not to buy playsets.  Who has the room?  Then they started releasing dolls only available w/playsets, so there went that plan.  Lala's car was the only thing I didn't have to buy.  For awhile I wasn't gonna buy Ghoulia's Scooter either, but I guess I can thank TRU for screwing that up too.  Oh well.  More stuff to love.  I knew right away that MH would be the death of bank account :lol:   BTW:  I am not so patiently waiting for more Classroom dolls.  I will not feel whole until I have that Drama Lala!

Yeah I don't see the differences for Operetta, but Clawdeen's pants look ugly in the fashion pack, so I'm glad the changed that out for a skirt on the doll version

At least the new Killer Style dolls have new hair and make-up unlike the old Killer Style ones that had re-used dolls.  I'm just wondering what changes, if any, there are to the fashions.  Also, I'm soooo glad they decided to make a color SS Frankie.  I'm not bothered at all buy the SS 5 pack.  I NEED a colored Frankie and there are 2 brand new dolls included.  Also the SS Lala I have should have never made it out of the factory.  She has no hairline plugs between the back of her left ear, to the middle of the back of her head.  Don't know why I kept her, but I'll have a new one soon enough :biggrin:   Plus, I could never get SS Ghoulia's hair just right.  So I get to start over on this one.  It's nothing but win for me!

You may think so but I'm kinda sick of her being in every set. Where as some of the other girls don't get but a new release every now and then.

I don't need any of the release think goodness. Although that colored Frankie sure is tempting.

Which is always greatly appreciated.

Speaking of all this new stuff....
I totally love the SS 5 Pack and that would totally help me out since I need to replace my existing Lala since she has a big Gob of shiny stuff around her heart on her cheek. I also Totally Love the Coffin Bean with Lala, Clawdeen doesnt seem to be all alone any more lol, plus i really like that lala and her outfit is si cute!  The Dot Dead 3 pack is very cute, Love Abbey's shoes and Lala's Hair. The roller Maze dolls dont really impress me much, along with the Killer Style. With the killer style i do like the yellow in Clawdeens but the Operetta looks to me like the roller maze doll re-dressed.
But over all I WANT EVERYTHING!  :blush: lol

Ravie, they are so beautiful! I would have loved to see them photographed beside my redhead! hehe. Oh, and I'm totally falling in love with Clawdeen as well. I already have four of her, and I'm pining for the Scary Tales version, along with the Coffee Bean, new Dead Tired, and maybe, just maybe, the Ghouls Rules one. *sigh*

...I'm really starting to wonder now how many of these exclusives might be for Black Friday/holidays? I mean, I know a lot of stores do stuff like that and for the most part, at least in my experiences, Kohl's and JCPenny normally don't carry toys (well in Kohl's case they don't keep up on their toy stock unless it's the holidays). Will have to admit the Costco one annoys me to no end... since well. Membership store and all. Though furthers my suspicions of holiday toys.

I mean if that's the case it puts my mind slightly more at ease... because I hope my fiance and I would have a car by then.. which would make it easier to look for stuff...

TOO MANY NON CANADA EXCLUSIVES. This is so unfair. Scalpers will be having a heydey! I guess I might have to rely on the kindness of arena members YET AGAIN. It's my only hope of getting some of these dolls. I'm very happy that the DDG set is supposed to be Walmart. I just my Walmart actually GETS IT and I know it's going to be a ridiculously inflated price, because they love doing that to Canadians even though our money isn't too far off from the USD. I hate having to complain, but things are just so unfair in the toy world.

On another note, I noticed some of them actually have MATCHING EARRINGS YESSS. This mismatched earring thing was getting on my nerves. It's cute to a certain degree, but not on every single doll lol

Holy cow has it been an eventful day for sneak peeks!! I love all the new stuff, I'm just glad none of it is a must have/need it now for me or else I'd be seriously wringing my hands atm.

I had a feeling that Target was going to be getting a Skull Shores multipack with a colored version of Frankie and the other girls to follow up on their Gloom Beach set, a part of me had just hoped Andy would have been included. I need a doll of him, like yesterday. :) I'm not a shipper by any means, but I think he's a much cuter match for Frankie than Holt/Jackson and I loved his character in the EFSS special.

I'd love a doll of the WeStopHate girl, she's totally adorable!

Oh God, she's cute! PLLLLLLEEEASEE let them make her! What pisses me off is that there are a bagillion new releases of Frankie, Lala, and Clawdeen planned, but what about Andy? Daughter of Arachne? They're getting overlooked for like the 30th version of Lala. *snore*

Sorry if this has already been asked, but is there any way to order the wolf sisters online? Target? Amazon? I have been waiting for Howleen to show up but it seems like it's getting to be too late....and I really want her :(

Unfortunately, from what I've heard they are not currently shipping to stores and I'm not sure if they've been available to buy online via Target's homepage to date. I don't think they're gone for good mind you, but rather that they just reached a hiccup with supply and demand like C.A. Cupid did a few months ago. It seems like most stores only received one or two cases of them in March and haven't restocked since.

I've been hearing a rumor that they may be seeing a re-release in October, but I can't verify how truthful this is or is someone just pulled this time frame out of thin air and it got passed along by the mill. Regardless, Target's Skull Shores exclusive from last year is still shipping to stores, so it's highly likely that we'll be seeing the wolf sisters again eventually. :)

Right now the set seems to be selling in the $70-$100+ range on ebay and amazon, which is a bit ridiculous considering they retail for $30 . I'd personally hold out unless you can find someone generous enough to part with one for a better deal. I hope they start redistributing them again soon!

I HOPE they make that Stop the Hate doll, I NEED her. I rn a anti-bullying group on FB Called Soldiers of the Black Parade. We have a Stop the Hate day on the 12th of every monh, take pictures, make videos, rase awareness and as that is my cause/mission in ife I NEED THAT DOLL. If anyone is interested in my group drop me a pm.
 
 
Anyway o a side note my best guy friend RULES. I had the WORST day of my life yesterday, he came by after work and surprised me with a Jackson, and Fashion packs for Lagoona and Operetta, the new ones. He said it was the lst Jackson in the store, he did say they had lots of Rochelles though, if anyone needs one I could possibly pick one up Weds if needed and i paypaled in adavance so agin just PM me and Ill gladly do so, if they are out by then Ill just return the money. He also said they had Frankie and Clawdeens new fashion packs but he knows Goona and Operetta are two of my faves so he went with those.
 
 
 
And all these exclusives will kill me, I still need Howleen, sweet 1600 Clawd AND Gil darn it! Yeesh.....mkes me want to cry.

I don't even think the Killer Styles Clawdeen & Operetta will be an exclusive to Kohl's because I see the Killer Styles Draculaura and Frankie and Fred Meyers (Kroger chain) all the time and are always restocked and they were supposedly also a Kohl's exclusive.

Either way I like how it's a dress instead of pants and shirt. Looking forward to her!!! Although I do wish they were stripes instead of pokdadots. =_=;

I really love some of those.  Bangless Draculaura in her roadster is awesome.  She looks like a movie star! 

I'm always a little confused by all the "there's too many Ghoulias!!!" on here, though.  There are 10 Ghoulias so far, and 16 Draculauras...And I think Ghoulia's designs, as a whole, are way more interesting than Draculaura's.  To each her own, I guess!  I'd personally like to see less Draculauras, though.

QFT! The only Lala's I own are the signature, DOTD, and DT. I just don't find her very interesting. I really wish they'd release one with solid black hair. Or better yet, solid pink.

Run her neck under the tap with hot water and gently pull it off. its works fine for me, and you dont have to even wet the whole head just the neck area. Good Luck sweetie!

I was just going to put her outside for a few minutes, to be honest. It's so incredibly hot here that it wouldn't take very long. A hairdryer seems like an easy option, too. c:

KOHLS exclusive?

COSTCO EXCLUSIVE?

KMART?JCPENNY?
Ya gotta be kidding me!I feel bad for the people that want ALL of these,it gonna be crazy.
Atleast I can narrow down what I want.
5 pack...ugghhh nooo want,thats gonna be really expensive.Damn.Ghoulia,Draculaura,and Frankie will probably be traded off or customized.

Dot Dead...Tempting,Abby looks fantastic and the shoes are wonderful(Then again,when are they not?)But I think I can pass.i'll probally just trade the stock and a nude SS Abby off someone.

Coffee bean...Pass.meh.Clawdeen looks nice with bangs,but not THAT nice.pricey.

Tupac...Oooh.Gurl.No.Abby,green is NOT your color.nuh uh.

Roadster.Nope.That Lala looks like she has a lot of pink in her hair however,so that cool.
so only the 5 pack for me...I can do that.
I can only imagine the pain international people are feeling right now.Yeek.(Shouldve known something was up when I have to catch up on about 7 pages after a day.)

 i LIKE THE NEW DOLLS .. But i hope they wont be TOO hard to find.  I donno if i will be getting  these. 

Top priorities for me this year  ghouls rule, sdcc and venus& robecca.
 There is sooo much new stuff coming out this year it is overwhelming!
 
If i do find my self with extra dolly funds:
 I 'd really like to try and get  dot dead abby  she is gorgous. And i feel i need DT abby to complete my DT line.
 ( lala and clawdeen not so much)

 I like the khols clawdeen and  operetta better :) ( since i don't have the fashion packs)
 
love to get the cleo and clawdeen SS dolls but donno about buying a whole pack..

 coffin bean? i am with you there it is cute but too expensive and take up too much room.
 I feel the same about the rest of the sets ( car powder room etc..) cute but where am i  gonna put them with all these new dolls?? so i'll probably be skipping those. I still think they should have made DL car RC that would have been awesome and i would have bought it then.. same for ghoulias scooter.

 I too feel sorry for hard core collectors that have to have EVERY doll  out this year. that has got to be ouch on the pocket book!

I Could not agree more! I saw that pic and almost spit my tea out. In the earlier pics of Ghoulia with the green hair I've commented on it and never liked it. But on Abbey? That's just...ugly as hell! D: No, Green hair is for Venus only! :P

Yeah, I feel rather bad for Abbey with green hair. However, it might be hot if teased to look like an Afro.

In regards to the SDCC exclusive, do we have any idea what it might be?
Title: Re: Monster High Thread Number 1 Too Many.
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on May 14, 2012, 07:32:44 AM
This is mostly baseless, but I have a very strong suspicion that Scarah Screams is going to be the SDCC exclusive. They said she would be released in 2012, but after all of the 2012 dolls that have been revealed so far, Scarah wasn't included? It wouldn't surprise me at all that last year's SDCC poll was actually asking who the next SDCC doll should be...

I've also seen rumors that InvisiBilly will be the exclusive, which makes a little bit of sense since he DID have a character design and bio released. I've seen a couple of crazy people over on Monster High Dolls say that Granite Sanders is going to be the exclusive, and it will be autographed by Garret Sanders, but... Yeah, they're pretty nuts over there. :P

Honestly, I'm just hoping none of this is true, and they do the same thing they did the past two years -- release a special version of an already existing character. I collect one of each character, and I'm probably not going to let the price of an SDCC doll stop me. XD

I had actually thought that Scarah would be the SDCC exclusive. I certainly wouldn't put that sort of stuff by ANY toy company, and it seems rather suspect that we are half way through 2012 without seeing any other info about the doll... I almost hope it's her to save my wallet as I really don't care about her. But at the same time I want an awesome SDCC exclusive all to myself and would hope it's something awesome like last year's (IF ONLY I WAS INTO THESE THEN). All this speculation kills me.

SDCC exclusives aren't that hard to come by, IF you're on top of it when they are released.  The first year exclusive was on Justice's website for awhile after the con, and Deadfast Ghoulia was available on Mattel's (I think) website for awhile too.  Just check here daily after the con and someone will post something.  The people here are just so great.  Always trying to help each other out.  Never wanted SDCC Frankie, but had plenty of time to grab her if I had.  I've never had a difficult time getting SDCC exclusives, just because of this website alone.  SDCC is the only doll I do not have (as I collect them all) and I'm fine with that as she is a variant. 
 
Also:  That "5 a day" website calls the fairy tale dolls "Collector quality" and that scares me!  They all are collector quality, IMO, but they've never been called that before.  I hope these aren't going to be more expensive then any other releases :cry:
Title: Re: Monster High Thread Number 1 Too Many.
Post by: SurfStar on May 14, 2012, 03:11:15 PM
I doubt if they will be since they are still a target exclusive. My guess is that if they released a 'true' collector quality Mattel would sell it through MattyCollector, the way the do the He-Man exclusives and collectors items.

if scarah is the sdcc doll i hope they  spice her up a bit. she was kind of BLAH. there is a good chance  it will be her, i mean it does kind of make since.

DO companies ever release more than 1 sdcc doll or toy at the same year of sdcc?

I hope Scarah's not the SDCC exclusive. I want her, but not enough to pay more than a regular release. :/

And I went to a store for the first time in months to look for Rochelle and they had a bunch of Rochelles, Jacksons, Abbeys, Nefera's, Operettas, and one perfect Sweet 1600 Clawdeen.

I had given up finding a good Sweet 1600 Clawdeen, so I convinced myself I didn't want her, but I just love love love her makeup, so I couldn't resist. Someday I'd like to give her a blonde rehair. I also picked up two Rochelles including one with bad bangs, so I can do a rehair and lip repaint on her in the future.

It will take some time and effort to reset her part, but the result is well worth it. If you wash her hair, braid it to the side, curl it up, pin it, and let it sit for a week or so (as pictured directly below) her hair will turn out as it looks in the picture directly below that.

Tuney she's gorgeous as always. I actually really like her with her hair bunned up in the first photo.

So...went to Amazon to buy Nefera and of course I could get super saver shipping on orders over 25 bucks, and she's 20.99 or something like that. WELL SHOOT!! So I've been eyeing the new Operetta release(s?) lately and thinking about how I don't like her new outfits nearly as much as her original release; well crap maybe I missed out on what may have turned out to be my favorite version of her!!

So ya, I bought Nefera and Operetta. I am very very excited; I'm the type who likes to brood over purchases until they're no longer available, so to get them both slightly on sale and at the same time is awesome!! I can't wait to have all five of my girls together :3

Thanks again, Tuney and Jadis :lovey:

Actually, now that I have Nefera's hair the way I like it I may actually like her stock clothes. Sadly I bought her nude. I definitely need her original shoes though. It's a bitch to get her to fit into shoes! The only ones I've been able to get her into so far are Clawdeen's slippers, the werewolf cam's shoes, and Clawdeen's 1600 boots.

I love everything about Nefera. Her face, her hair, her outfit. Everything was perfect imo.
 
I did get Sweet 1600 Clawdeen, Tuney. I really shouldn't have because I'm broke, so I'm not taking her out of the box until I sell her stock. Which is fine by me really. I won't be too interested in her until I can afford to have her rehaired.

Post by: Midnight_Dream on May 15, 2012, 12:49:09 AM
Hands down Nefera is my favorite doll and this is coming from someone who did not like her at all when they showed pics of her from SDCC. But once you get her in person she is simply stunning. Her hair and makeup complement her skin, which has this golden shimmery thing going on, perfectly. Her outfit is a perfect combination of mummy wraps and high fashion; over all everything about her just seems to flow into one coherent thought, which I don't think all the dolls do.

And her shoes....I adore that gal's shoes something fierce. :heart:

If I had to give up every doll in my collection and only keep her I would. Am I actually going to do that though? Hell, no. So I say, if you are on the fence about her just look at her in person then decide. That is what I do with all the dolls that I am not sure about, but I am not saying that is the best choice for everyone by any means.

lol that's what basically happened to me!! At first I was like, errr no thanks, but after going store to store and only seeing her, I always picked her up to see if I'd cave in and want her. One day I went to 5 stores straight and each time there was always a Nefera and by that 5th store I cracked and bought her. XP Even with her angular evil face, I still love her. lol XD

I'm still just not sold. I saw her at the store yesterday and carefully looked at her, and she looks too much like a Bratz doll for me. I really dislike Bratz dolls for a number of reasons (but I will still steal their clothes!) and so I just can't bring get myself to like her. She seems like she'd be such a hateful and mean person and I'm just not into a personality like that.  I ended up getting 1600 Clawdeen instead, who I'm very happy with.

Same here! I almost never do long-term display of the dolls out of stock. But that colander went right into the accessory box and hasn't come back out. I'm keeping it, just in case, but I'm disappointed it wasn't like her art.

My Nefera is displayed with Cleo's leg wrapping from GB (cut in half) around her ponytail.  It looks a whole lot closer to the webisode art than the "basket." 
 
Don't have Howleen yet, but I don't like Nefera's body either.  She's not as delicate as the others.  I find myself hating her knees (of all things :lol: ) and mentally calling her 'fat.'  I really hope Robecca isn't large bodied, too.
 
I am LOVING the thought of 1600 Clawdeen as a blonde!  My in-laws bought me an extra for my birthday, ummmmmm.  I was gonna trade her in for another 1600 Frankie, but now I'm not so sure.

...I somehow ended up with this photo of my Rochelle. I was experimenting with outfits and suddenly she's a pajama saleswoman trying to get you to buy this ~*fabulous*~ slipper set from her.
Would you buy pajamas from her? Because I sure would.. XD

Awww Ghoulia's DT outfit actually looks perfect on her!! If she has the matching outfit to go with those slippers, I'd buy. XP

As for Robecca, has it been confirmed that she's going to be a Nefera sized doll?? It'd be cool if she does, but won't be good if she can't fit the other outfits. >,<;

Thank you, Mattel!  I was SO not looking forward to finding male dolls to mod for torsos.  I'll still need to find one for the puma boy though.  SS Gil would be a nice choice.  Too bad he is impossible to find.  Plus, I'd feel really badly tearing apart such a sought after doll just to build a CAM.  Oh well.  I'll think of something.
Sunniebunny:  I just saw the newest fashions today for the first time, actually.  It was at Target, and they only had Operetta's left.  I live in Mich.  So check your Targets.  They're making their way around :lol:

Muahaha at first it'll be a few, but soon, it'll be a whole army of ghouls! XD

To be honest, I wouldn't mind if she was big or not. I intend to keep all my ghouls in their signature outfits and not mix anything around. XP Unless I get their respective fashion packs

Post by: justkitter on May 15, 2012, 07:32:40 PM
Same here ^^^
 
I keep just about all my dolls in stock, so it's not a clothing issue for me.  It's more a proportion issue.  She (Nefera) just doesn't look proportionally "correct" to me, and that's probability just because she's the odd ghoul out.  Maybe with more larger dolls around, it won't bother me so much. Shrug.

I particularly wish all three of the new ghouls were larger...Rochelle, Venus, and Robecca. It would have been the perfect opportunity to showcase Nefera's peers. I LOVE the bigger mold. Longer, thicker legs, big boobs, a nice butt!

Totally agree with everything Tuneful said  :biggrin: I adore Nefera's figure and would never have thought anyone could see her as "fat"  :shocked:

In all honesty I love all of the ghouls figures, it's not as though they're perfectly proportioned and definitely not a typical super thin runway model, but they're beautiful. I especially love the thicker thighs in relation to the bodies on the regular sized ghouls, it's nice to see something different to the typical Barbie body.

But that's just my opinion  :blush:

Second that! I'm glad there's one for the witch as well. (and what's with Hasbro and pink characters??) I don't know why Mattel didn't do that in the first place; the first wave has *three* add ons plus the one extra in each kit but only two torsos to go around? I'm still hoping they start selling just the torsos:)

Just realized Puma boy is the cat boy from the webisodes, I'm slow.

Funny thing is I think Operetta has closer to these features. I don't know about her hips, but her bust is definately larger. Makes her fit into this dress I bought for Ghoulia originally MUCH better.

Oh yeah.  Nefera's a little fatty!  Of course I don't think she's fat :lol:   It's just a mental thing, you know.  Her arms are bigger, her legs are bigger, her boobs are bigger.  She's huge :biggrin:   Once she has some ghoulfriends with similar proportions, my mental block will surely go away.  Anyway, didn't mean to upset anyone.  I know dolls are a touchy subject sometimes ;)

lol That makes more sense grzankitter. I wasn't upset at all, more curious as to why Nefera was considered "fat" because I couldn't see it myself.

I really hope Mattel is planning to reuse her body sculpt (and Howleen's!) because I love the variations in size  ^.^ A sibling for Ghoulia would be awesome!

Me too! Honestly I find it sort of boring that the new molds for big sister and little sister (Nefera and Howleen) both have human colored skin tones. We lost out on grey, green, and blue! Hopefully they use these molds more in the future.

Hmmm. Now I'm actually hoping that Robecca is a nefera sized doll. XP

It would be cool if they made more nefera sized dolls with more monster features like sea monster fins or claws or even wings but for that to happen I think they'll have to somehow revolve them around being involved with High School/Monster High.
Title: Re: Monster High Thread Number 1 Too Many.
Post by: aellos on May 16, 2012, 10:33:26 AM
Honestly, I don't get why only Nefera is the talls. Sure she's older, but most girls don't get too much taller than they are in high school.

I feel Abby should probably be Nefera's size, and Draculaura should be more like Howleen's size. You know? Ghoulia would be closer to Howleen's size too, but I think most of that is her posture.

I totally agree with Abbey and Draculaura deserving these molds than the others, but I don't think Mattel had planned to release different sized dolls until very recently. It's kinda risky since the clothes aren't universally interchangeable now, but then I don't think they expect their target audience to realize that before they buy the doll.

If they did the height differentiations I think alot of parents would be complaining that their kids are upset that the dolls are not capable of wearing each others clothes, etc. So that's probably why they made the majority of the base characters all uniform in height. But this is just my opinion. :D

I agree though i would have loved a tiny Lala and a Taller Abbey lol.
Title: Re: Monster High Thread Number 1 Too Many.
Post by: aellos on May 16, 2012, 11:44:45 AM
Yeah, that makes sense. Probably why they should've just kept them the same size. DX Though I definately prefer the tinier stature of Howleen.

lol that's basically what hit the top of the nail for me.

I like how they're all the same height. I actually prefer all the other ghouls be the same height. I like Nefera's size, same as Howleen and since they made their bodies slightly different to show their "age" difference, it makes sense.

I believe she's standard sized too. I've read several discussions in other communities over her height as well but I think her boots may be throwing people off. Here's a photo of her MIB next to Venus and Jackson and she's definitely the same height inside her package as Venus:

If you do check out the books, be warned: there are LOTS of pop culture references and product placements. I counted more than 24 in the second chapter of the first book alone. Once you get used to it, you barely notice them, but they can be very jarring, especially when you're used to the webisodes with the iCoffins and Justin Biter.

Just as an FYI they do not match up with the webisodes they are majorly different story lines but a good read none the less.

Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on May 16, 2012, 02:12:12 PM
Yeah, I'm also sad that they're over! On the plus side, I've heard there's going to be a new book series for a younger set, and supposedly, it'll take place in the webisode continuity. While they probably won't be as mature as the Lisi Harrison series, I'm excited to have some Monster High books that I can read with my niece without having to explain the references.
Title: Re: Monster High Thread Number 1 Too Many.
Post by: crimsondeity on May 16, 2012, 02:29:03 PM
I was initially suspecting Robecca of having the Nefera build (when we saw the very first promos) because she appeared to be taller on the shelf. It may have been the boots though, and where the other dolls were posed. There's also been speculation that she'd end up being Frankie's adopted "big sister". But seeing her in the box, she does look to be the size of the other main characters.

As far as individual sizes go for the majority of characters, that was  more of a webisode thing. The diaries don't really mention height, and I don't recall it in the books either. It works for the webisodes, but I think too many different sizes for the dolls would be jarring, especially from a display angles. And while I don't personally switch up the doll's individual style much, I think that a lot of people would be unhappy to have that option taken away.

On another note, while Venus is definitely the new character I'm most amped about, I am definitely excited for Robecca as well. I love all the unique detailing on her, and she's really gorgeous.
Title: Re: Monster High Thread Number 1 Too Many.
Post by: justkitter on May 16, 2012, 03:54:21 PM
The reason I thought she had the larger body type was because of her legs.  Her knee joints look larger to me, but that very well could be all the detail she has on them, the panels and bolts.  I'm glad that everyone thinks she has the standard body though, if only because 'older' dolls have big bodies and 'younger' dolls have smaller bodies.  Of course I use all these terms lightly.  Talking age is almost pointless with these girls.

:o! I hope anyone who needs Howleen can get in on that pack being available! And Target being such a tease.. I'm sure none of the old dolls are actually in stock... only thing I hate about Target (and most retailers).. everything sharing a stock number.

As for the CAM... oh how I hope the Dragon/Werewolf set gets reissued with the second torso! I guess worst case I can grab the Vampire/Sea Monster one.. do.. something with the vampire parts and still get three dolls outta the deal. Logically the cat girl looks to be a closer color match, to me, but I don't like the witch girl enough >_>;

Jeeez by the time I added Howleen/Clawdeen to my cart they said "your order has changed" and they went out of stock :(


I'm excited about the two torso CAM sets! I was considering the sea monster pack and now will definitely get it once it comes out. I'm in MO, and as far as I've seen all the packs here still have one torso, but then again I wasn't specifically looking for those or really even paying attention to them. I can look again soon :)

It's a pain in the butt. On the search it says they are sold out. When you click on the item it says its available and in stock. When you click to buy (1) it's out of stock in the quantity requested. UGH.

Either way, right now you can't buy them online through Target. That's for sure.

Well hopefully someone was able to get them. The second I saw they were on the website I came here and posted. I know some of those dolls sell out in the matter of a few minutes though so maybe that was the case :(

*Sigh*  Guess I gotta buy the Starter Packs all over again :cry:   I hope my brain never puts together how much money I've wasted on extra dolls to mod for torsos.  I hope my husband doesn't either!  I wish Mattel would have figured this out right away.  Well, my birthday is Monday.  Crossing my fingers for toy gift cards.  Just what every 30 year old wants :lol:

Happy Early Birthday, Grzankitter!

Sigh, I'll have to rebuy the starter packs too. I'd love a matching torso for my sea monster! I also ordered some custom torsos from a seller on Etsy to match my three-eyed-girl and skeleton girl. And some Liv wigs.

...I never thought I'd be playing with dolls at 27. But dolls weren't this awesome when I was a kid!

at least they fixed it, but geez.

I love her too! I was JUST thinking exactly the same thing though xD No way is she keeping those disastrous lips and those whiskers are coming off too. I knew I should have bought that pink/blonde liv wig I saw the other day ><, think that would probably look nice on her :)

ARRRRGH!!! I just received my 3 loose MH dolls I won off ebay today;I was worried as they came packaged in brown paper (no box) but was really upset when I found they had been wrapped in newspaper too!

Ghoulia escaped harm but GB Jackson has a pale pink mark under his right eye and poor GB Lala has a discolored nose tip and her heart had to be removed due to ink. Add in the fact they smell of smoke (not super bad but enough to irritate my asthma) and you have a bummed DL. Thank goodness today is a nice breezy day so I washed them and airing them out as we speak.

I like the cat girl too (though it's probably because I'm crazy cat lady, lol). I may also opt to remove her whiskers once I get her, it just looks too much like a mustache. ;)

I think I mainly want her to display with Scarah once she's released though, since they were always shown together in the original fear squad. I hope they also end up making the Cyclops girl as an add-on pack somewhere down the line.

I like the witch too, but I think she needs to be restyled from what they gave her to really make her pop. Her face is absolutely gorgeous!

Oh no, I'm sorry dragonlady. :( I hope you alerted the seller and recieved some kind of compensation for the stains and smell. I can't stand the smell of smoke either and I used to be a smoker. A few of my family members also have asthma and can't be around even the slightest hint of cigarette smoke because it can trigger a reaction, so I know how awful it can be for those who have it.

If you have trouble airing them out, try using some activated carbon charcoal marketed for aquarium filters from your local pet shop. I've found that you can get the smoke smell out of many objects by taking the carbon, pouring it in an open tupplewear and setting the container next to said object tied up in a trashbag and left for a week or two. It should suck the offending odor right out.

Good luck and I hope the dolls clean up nice for you! :)

So excited about these new CAM Girls!! Funny how I pulled a complete 180 on these girls. "Errr I don't think I'll be wanting this set" to *See's everyone's CAM and ones with rehairs*"OMG I MUST HAVE THEM!!!!"

 I was also thinking Dryad when I saw the witch Jadis!! lol Oh mah goodness, so many custom ideas to come up with with these new ghouls. visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Just as an FYI they do not match up with the webisodes they are majorly different story lines but a good read none the less.

That's what basically got me interested in reading them. XP

Looks like the old CAM starter sets are getting two torsos as well...

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


OMG Double Torso YES!! I'm so glad I didn't buy any of the CAM starters sets just yet. Good thing I did put them off for a little moment.  :P

But one thing that gots me wondering, is if they add another torso, would that be bringing the price up? since the current retail is about. Estimated $23.00 which is one doll (after tax in certain areas), would they double it since it's kind almost like buying 2 dolls??

They only had the new ones on the shelf at that location. So, unless they are hiding them somewhere, I think I'm pretty safe.

unfortuneately it has been confirmed that the new packs have the hard plastic in their heads that prevents rehairing.

I am a sad sad ravie over this as I haven't really found a way around this problem yet besides a permanent ponytail

I wonder if there's any way to drill or punch holes in that hard plastic circle on the head?  And while I'm thrilled about the new packs including 2 torsos, I wish they had done that from the beginning, since I already bought the first two CAM packs. >_<  I figure Mattel must have gotten a *LOT* of complaints about the single torso in them.

Post by: Ravie on May 17, 2012, 01:49:14 PM
I don't think so bewilderness. someone took apart the head and there was a big mess of vinyl even under the hard plastic.

Some people have supposed inserting the wig cap into the hole, but i doubt that would work either considering how that incredible peice of stupidity is made

Oh my, you were all right! These ghouls really DO multiply! My collection that was going to be "just one to see what they're like" has already doubled. I will admit, I really didn't want SS Ghoulia, but she was the only MH I'd ever seen, so I decided to snatch her up when I found her at Walmart a few weeks back. My sister was desperate for Rochelle, and I warned her that she was htf at the moment. Well, we searched high and low, but no luck. So my mom found her an SS Lagoona instead (whom my sister loves, btw!).
Anyway, we were in Target two nights ago and I now make a point of checking the MH section as well as the pony aisle. My sister was off looking at something else, when I saw Rochelle sitting on the shelf! But not just her, no! Four Rochelles, a few Jacksons, Neferas, and.... OPERETTAS! Operetta was one of the dolls I reallllllyyyyyy wanted, so I grabbed her and Rochelle, feeling like a pro treasure hunter! So my sis and I got our dolls (thanks to my awesome mom!), and let me tell you, they are both gorgeous in person! Even my mom (who thinks they're interesting, but isn't big into toys/ dolls) commented on how detailed Operetta is. And I totally agree! I really love her music theme, being a musician myself (violin). And Phantom is a love of mine, too! So much squeeee!

Good to hear. The MH wigs don't fit well at all in my opinion. They're such a hot mess. On the plus side, I can change the witch's look whoever I want! Straight black hair? Check! Curly blonde Afro? Check? Wavy redhead? Check!

Miss- I am not sure about prices on the dolls out of box, MIB the wave 1 dolls are selling around $25-30. If you still have all of their accessories and they are mint out of box you could probably still get a fair amount for them. I sent you a PM, I forgot to ask if you have the Dawn of the Dance 3 pack or at least the Draculaura that goes to it?

As for the other pics, great wigs, guys! So the Liv wigs stay on pretty good then? I kinda like the idea of having a bald witch too. SOoooooo high fashion. I'd just need something to plug the hole in her head with! hehe

P.S. I just stopped by my local target and they had one each of Nefera, Operetta, and 1600 Lala and Frankie. They also had three packs of the Gloom Beach 5-pack....

Congrats on the raise tuney! The wings should stay on nice. You have to whittle the plug a bit to make it fit in the head, and you can choose how far down to whittle to how far down on the head you want it to be. Me, I accidentally chopped it off, so I can't have mine upsidedown. DX

TRU is selling all their Liv stuff for really low price right now... So if you want Liv outfits/wigs for your dolls, get 'em now!
That probably confirms that they're being discontinued, though. ):


EDIT: Actually, it seems a lot of their doll clothes is up to 50% off right now. Wow.. o__o

Chi, did you see them in-store or online?? Because I saw on the TRU website that it was online only.

Yeah they're only online and unavailable for store pick-up. Some of these prices are amazing, though. O_O


...And then when I try to look for anything to be picked up at a store that has the option, this happens.

i know Bratz clothes fit MH. And Stardoll shoes fit MH feet.
But I think Liv fits Pullips...too big for MH....tho I could be wrong.

I'm checking out photos of the green witch CAM on flickr, and I have to say, I'm a little disappointed. Couldn't they have given her a slightly more pointed, witchy nose? That's what I had been really hoping for. UGH ugh ugh!

I think they're bent...? I dunno. I love the Sea Monster.. and now I wonder if i should just get the vampire/sea monster for my dragon girl when I get it (in the event that set doesn't get the dragon torso)... or cat girl. Cat girl looks TOO pink.. but vampire looks too pale. aaaaa.

...also them slightly articulated ankles on the guys /sobs.

I gotta be honest, I had been pining for the witch, but I'm more impressed by the boys. I like the vamp's grin, and the gargoyle is just perfect! He'd look totally awesome with a snug winter hat on his head, no wig! Oh, I can't wait to get both sets! I will probably be selling the kitty, though.

The vampire boy has a derp face in the first image.. Probably a paint fail more than anything, but it looks funny. Having another gargoyle is exciting, though. I agree, he looks like he'd be fine without a wig!

whats with  the girls necks in that side view picture they look like they are hunched over?

I read some where that these CAM are fromt he Monster High Magazines like the one that comes with the Coffin Bean and t he one that comes with  Spectra's Fashion pack.
I think the vampire boy is subose to be Justin Biter.

and after reading the books I think the Gargoyle boy might be Named Granite lol or thats what i'll be namming mine anyways.

I have stupidly bought enough old CAM's to build all seven monsters ARG now i want the newer ones again just for the torso's. Geese the Cam's are even more expensive than the regular Basic dolls lol Geeese!

So will the new starter sets (new and old ghouls) with a 2nd torso cost more than what CAM starter sets were at first???
Title: Re: Monster High Thread Number 1 Too Many.
Post by: Chi on May 17, 2012, 07:08:40 PM
I believe they're $19.99. That's what I saw load on Target before the "sold in store" thing pops up anyway.
Title: Re: Monster High Thread Number 1 Too Many.
Post by: Rhini on May 17, 2012, 07:09:15 PM
Argghh I was on the MH forums and someone said they found the new packs at my target and bought them all! Whhhyyy  :sad:  so unfair! At least I know that the others will be restocking soon with the new packs hopefully. There are like ~4-5 in my immediate area luckily. The only other that had them in stock was 50 min away so I'll just wait *sigh*.


Instead I picked up the Skeleton girl CAM as I'll have more torsos, and some new Liv wigs for the impending new girls. I really love the wigs I got, though I debated forever over a super long one but it was $10 and I ended up saying no.


Does anyone know if TRU would refund me some money for a coupon I forgot I had? Or would I have to pretend to return it and then buy it again with the coupon?

I am in love with those shoes in the cat/witch set!!! :heart: If anyone gets the set and does not want those shoes I would be more than happy to take them off your hands.

I got Jackson in the mail today and I simply love him! :lovey: I guess I never paid much attention to him before, but I was surprised to discover that he had one eyebrow pierce. His diary was rather amusing with the little bits where Holt would jump in and I liked how Jackson did not react to any of his comments. I was surprised that Frankie and the relationship he going with her was not brought up though.


Ravie, do you still have that extra hank of Starlight? I could seriously use it.

Post by: pinjalinnea on May 18, 2012, 12:47:47 AM
I'm not really excited about the new CAM sets. I know I need the ghost girl add on pack, but the witch girl and cat... not doing it for me. The boys might be nice, but I really don't collect the boy dolls, yet anyways.
Or maybe I would like the cat girl if I gave her a repaint... but she's so pink! Kinda reminds me of sphynx cats, you know the naked ones.

But it shucks that I have the vampire/seamonster cam set coming in the mail! AND I got an extra torso from ebay for my cams. But I'm definitely NOT gonna rebuy the sets. I've spent enough money on them already :D

I don't like them either, but I think they'll definitely go for a lot. This is a Wal-Mart exclusive three pack -- exclusives are always worth more, and so far, the Wal-Mart exclusives have been the hardest to find.

For me the Target stuff has been much harder to find because they NEVER restock their shelves. The Walmarts at least re-stock a few times a month, whereas the Target shelves I have literally seen sit empty for months.

But I agree, anything exclusive is going to go for more regardless of whether or not it's a particularly popular set. I'm very worried about the new kmart etc. exclusives, the only way I'm ever going to get that costco exclusive is if i send my mom out for it and well...I don't trust her to buy the right thing xD

Odd... Maybe it's because I just go to Target more often, but I've been able to find Clawdeen/Howleen and the Gloom Beach 5-pack just fine. I've never found any exclusives at Wal-Mart, and most of the time when I go there, all they have is CAM's, fashion packs and Skull Shores Ghoulia.
Title: Re: Monster High Thread Number 1 Too Many.
Post by: Chi on May 18, 2012, 11:14:01 AM
Mine's the same way. I'm more likely to find something at Target than Walmart. My walmart has only had dolls three times... Once was two Operetta, another time was 2 of each except Rochelle and Jackson and then last time was a few DTs. :(
Title: Re: Monster High Thread Number 1 Too Many.
Post by: Rhini on May 18, 2012, 11:16:17 AM
Man can we trade stores? XD My closest Walmart right now has: Several Clawdeen and her bed, all the fashion packs, all the CAM packs, some Skull shores left, tons of dead tired, about 20 Nefera/Cleos, a bunch of operetta, and some 1600's as well as the other misc non doll merch.


Edit: The target next to them had 2 1600 Dracularas, and two Rochelles. And that was it, the first things I've seen there in weeks.

I live right in the middle of St.Louis, and I have much more luck going to the out of the way rural stores :huh:  I think people out there can't or won't buy $20 dolls as often so there's more left over. I know of at least 5 other collectors here in the city and judging by how fast stuff moves there are a lot more. There were also a ton of scalpers at the toy show who had boxes full of things, like 5 Toralei's and werecat twins.

Does anyone know if MH dresses fit Pullips with type 4 bodies? The tops alone fit a little oddly but I don't have a dress to try. I'd love Lala and Abbey's dress but I'm hoping they won't just be for my MH dolls..


Going to try to get out to Walmart/Target/TRU tonight or this weekend for Liv doll wigs/outfits for my dolls, so if anyone needs any specific ones please let me know!

i have 2 targets and 2 walmarts and none of them ever have anything -_-

the MH clothes might fit a type 4....I know most of the Bratz clothes do, but are a little tight sometimes

I tried Rochelle's top on her and it only closed at the bottom but the pants/skirts are fine. Maybe I'll try it once someone has one for sale. If not, Rochelle can always wear it. :)

None of my Targets here have ever gotten the Clawdeen/Howleen set. :( They have gotten the GB five pack, but I never picked one up. Ever since Christmas the Targets around here have just not been restocking as often. I don't know if Mattel is to blame or if Target is, but either way it is very odd.

I am seriously hoping that I find Rochelle soon. She is just so effing adorable that I need her, like, now.

So, would it be reasonable to trade a Sweet 1600 Clawdeen for a basic Jackson? My niece really wants me to trade for it, but I don't know if it's a fair trade...

It's not just MH, it's ponies too. I haven't seen new ponies on the pegs for months, they are literally bare and have been that way for a long time. So that leads me to believe it's some weirdness on Target's part.

I think I'll go on one last hunt before I give up and come to the arena to get me an MIB Abbey. *Crosses Fingers* Hopefully they'll have her somewhere in one of the stores. >,<;

Had to pass up the new CAM sets today...I'm sad! Puhleeease don't make me regret not buying & end up paying crazy prices online.  Scalping should be illegal!

First:  Thank you for the birthday wishes everyone, and airiel happy birthday to you as well!
I found the new CAMs today.  There were 2 witch/cat packs 1 gargoyle/vampire pack and 1 re-tooled sea monster/vampire pack.  I'm thinking they are not going to re-release the dragon/werewolf pack.  Just have a feeling.  Also, I saw Operetta's new fashion pack with Frankie's from the last release together again for the second time now.  I think Frankie's may be in the newest cases, with Operetta's being double packed.  Of course, I'm just guessing, here.

I got a new Liv pack delivered today - a multicolored pink/blue/purple/blonde one and a straight blonde one. I bought the multicolored for my Skully, but I think I actually prefer her MH pink wig (that came with the three-eyed-ghoul).

And I tried the blonde wig on my Sea Monster girl, but maybe I like the multicolored on her? I don't know. What do you all think?

(Sorry the pictures are so bad, it's been a rough day.)

I like the sea monster with the multi-colored hair. I just ordered an afro for my witch CAM, but I'd also like to get her a blonde, black, and red wig. Now just to find them....

That first pic of the gargoyle boy is awesome! I can't wait to get Rochelle her little boyfriend. It's like she's begging me to with those big sad eyes. lol. And watch him end up being her brother. Awkwardddd.

And I don't think my Target has gotten the werewolf sisters either. There's a sticker there, but I've never seen them. Even when they had just restocked.

Picklepud put some pics up on Flickr on the 14 but it seems that he has had alot going on in RL. I hope that everything is ok with him.

I GOT MY NEW MH TODAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are soooo wonderful :3 before this I had kept all of my girls in their stock, but I wanted to get a group shot and didn't want Ghoulia to be in her PJs, so I had to find her a new outfit...and that turned into finding new outfits for everyone. They ended up all wearing dresses and looking totally amazing.

And I found the most perfect dress for Nefera:

And a dress for Tore that doesn't fit her style at all but is soooo cute...and it seems to tone her down a little, which I love:

So those two ended up having my favorite outfits:

But they all looked wonderful!!

My whole collection :3 I am hoping to take some more photos when it's light out tomorrow, but that's probably not going to happen since I'm two weeks away from graduating (BS woohoo!) and the work load is killing me. But the big box with two new dolls was wonderful to come home to. I love my collection :3

Post Merge: May 18, 2012, 07:40:04 PM

Oh and I should probably say what they're wearing. Ghoulia is wearing a Barbie dress that's folded and  tied in the back. Lagoona is wearing her stock. Operetta is wearing a Barbie skirt with a Liv (I think) belt. Nefera is wearing a Disney Stars dress (those clothes fit perfectly!). Tore is wearing a Barbie shirt (I think).

So happy :)

We must have been typing at the same time - I listed where they're from on my post up there :) None of them are homemade although three of them are altered Barbie clothing :)

Gonna throw this out there now; if i don't get to wal-mart this weekend too what if anything they have, i'd appreciate anyone with a target nearby to find me the new dual torso sea monster/vampire girl CaM pack and the male starter pack if at all possible.
