Yay! New thread!

Continuing on from the last one ...

I remember Picklepud saying he got rid of his (creases) with boiling water, but it also took his sideburns off :huh:  My 1600 Clawd has a bad case of glue seepage so beware......
Yeah, I want to see if I can heat these guys up without dipping them in water, just so a) I don't mess up their hairdos and b) I don't potentially provide a catalyst for the glue seepage thing.

My Clawd's hair is rock hard with hair spray. I'm not sure I'd be able to tell if he had a glue seepage problem or not. At least not right away anyway.

Now that I think of it, Jupi's suggestion of the hairdryer might work for Clawd, since I only want to heat up his face, and maybe even Lagoona, since I only want to heat up her ears. Not sure it would be enough to heat up the Cleos' heads enough that the prongs inside soften up, though.

blowdryer would be worth a shot at least -- its easier to control than hot water or even a heating pad

OK. I'll have a go. What setting should I put it on and for how long? I don't want to melt their hair or face paint.

EDIT: Misread it.
If you're trying to remove their heads or heat them up, keep the hairdryer (on medium or high) at least 2 inches from their heads but aimed towards the neck hole (or whatever you're trying to heat up). I usually leave it there for about 30 seconds to a minute. Never had any problems with it and their heads become very easy to remove.

When I customize ponies, I sit them next to my old laptop's fan, it gets really warm and helps the heads slip off and on and for rehearing.

...

Very silly, but it works, and it's easy as I always use that laptop.

So, yeah, I use that for heating, but that doesn't help you.

Gave my daughter Rochelle today and when I opened her, there was a grease spot on the cardboard that she was attached to.....thought, oh great.....her hair at the roots is very greasy-like.....the bummer thing was that, at TRU, I made sure I got the "best" one and she had no VISIBLE flaws.... :huh:

Her hair looks much better after washing out that awful gel, I think. I like the idea of her showing off her (conveniently thematic and non-deforming) scar instead of hiding it all the time, 'cuz it's kewl-looking. :3

I love what you've done with your Operetta's hair, Saply! And showcasing her beautiful markings is love. <3 I love the victory roll look on my basic, but maybe RM Oprie can be re-styled into something more interesting...

Ahmahgawds Saply she looks sooo pretty! Makes me wanna take mines hair down. Maybe I'll take RM's Operetta's hair down once I get her since it's sort of plain looking up. BTW their shoes are AWESOME! The skates are a lot more rubbery than most of the shoes and they slide on and off like a dream. I hope this trend continues. They also roll just like real! I was having so much fun rolling them over stuff XD

If you're trying to remove their heads or heat them up, keep the hairdryer (on medium or high) at least 2 inches from their heads but aimed towards the neck hole (or whatever you're trying to heat up). I usually leave it there for about 30 seconds to a minute. Never had any problems with it and their heads become very easy to remove.
Just tested the hairdryer on my broken wave 2 Frankie. I had it on high and used it for at least 30 seconds and was able to get her head off, although the barbs on the neck prong have some of that white stretched plastic look to it.

I'm not sure how well the Cleo head swap will go, as they aren't the same body color (one is from China, one is from Indonesia). However, I am now thinking I will also do a head swap with my wave 1 Ghoulia and the GB Ghoulia, since the former has loose hips and the latter has the new plastic-jointed hips.

Oh, and I tried the hairdryer on Clawd's face. Took several blasts on high for at least 30 seconds, if not a whole minute, and the crease is now vastly diminished although it's still not entirely gone!

I usually cut those barbs off/down so it's easier to take their heads on and off :) It doesn't negatively affect their head movement at all so why not. Yay for no more nasty creases!

Oh OK. Good to know.


Change of subject: Mattel usually announces new releases well in advance, right? So how come these "deluxe fashion" Abbey and Frankie sets have just sort of mysteriously popped up in stores in Spain and California with no warning? Seems a bit odd to me.

I mean I think they give more of a teaser, they don't want to reveal everything. Hasbro does the same thing really, like we see a bunch of stuff at the toy shows but there's still stuff we find on taobao or sometimes even the shelves where it's like whoa! where did that come from?! I just think they don't want to give away their whole hand and leave some excitement :)

Well, the stuff that pops up on Taobao has been stolen from the factories, so the companies usually haven't had a chance to announce them yet. I just thought that the toy companies put out catalogs advertising upcoming products. Seems strange that they would just have stuff appear on the shelf with no fanfare at all. Building up anticipation and hype and getting people excited tends to work pretty well.

Also, because this is a new thread, I have to repost this:

Hah, I wondered why there was nothing MH related in my unread replies! We really burned through that last thread...  XD

saply your Operetta looks really beautiful. That dress is darling!

Change of subject: Mattel usually announces new releases well in advance, right? So how come these "deluxe fashion" Abbey and Frankie sets have just sort of mysteriously popped up in stores in Spain and California with no warning? Seems a bit odd to me.

Yeah, it is odd that nobody saw photos of those earlier. I don't know that Mattel usually announces stuff in advance, they seem pretty bad to me at doing that and creating buzz themselves. :P It's fans who usually root out photos. Anyway, I looked around thoroughly at my TRU today (they'd just gotten a shipment) but there isn't any sign of the fashion sets in my part of Canada yet. When there is, (and I'm going to be haunting the TRU for them, I :heart: them), I would be happy to pick up extras for anybody here who doesn't have access to a TRU.

So, I LOVE the green streaks on all the RM girls now that I have them! It's exciting that their skates are nice quality... so cool that the wheels actually roll  :satisfied:

Was it Catlein in the last thread that asked if anybody knows what the RM two-pack with Abbey/Ghoulia is retailing for? I so need that Abbey (and since I've gotten my mom into MH now she wants to keep the double Ghoulia for herself! :lol:) Gonna have to bother you lovely Americans to pick up an extra for me when (if) they ever start to be plentiful  ^.^

Oh OK. Bizarre. Hasbro seems pretty good about announcing all their new products in advance, if not at some place like a comic con then on their FB page at least. But then the Monster High FB page isn't a product-related thing, it's meant to be like a Monster High student's blog almost. Silly.

I guess I'm just not used to it. I come from a roleplaying games background, and the big companies like Wizards of the Coast always publish catalogs of their upcoming products for each quarter of the year well in advance, so you always know what books and accessories are coming down the pipeline.

I believe that white stretched plastic on the prongs happened to both of mine when I removed their heads. Not sure if it was the heating up or just from moving their heads around. Glad to hear it worked, though! ^____^

It would be so nice if MH worked like that. I really don't understand it at all, but it's always fan-discovered photos that I see first. Sometimes sneak-peeks on the FB page, I guess. I thought the freakyfab13 event every month was going to give us release news regularly, but they just announced Rochelle/Jackson/Robecca/Venus and since, not very much else doll-wise...

May not have heated it up enough, but I think it would be pretty hard to do since it's inside the head. But yeah, they didn't break. Just gotten a little bent. And I suppose it doesn't really matter.

Anyway, now my original Ghoulia has a new, less floppy body!

I'm not sure it's going to work out for the Cleos, though. As I was saying before, their bodies don't exactly match. I'll give it a go at least, and if it doesn't look good, I'll swap the heads back again and just put up with a floppy Cleo.

Tomorrow I will just have a try at heating Mad Science Lagoona's head with the hairdryer. If that does nothing to make the factory holes contract, then I'll just plug them up with epoxy putty and hope for the best.

The MH FB page frequently does have sneak peeks; Howleen made her debut there. Same with Abbey, Spectra and Operetta. Even the three newest girls showed up there, although the majority of us were actively watching for pics to surface from Toy Fair a few hours (read: 4 AM) before.

I do think a lot of the leaked promos we get are semi-intentional. We find them so quickly, and fairly easily. And very rarely is anyone contacted and asked to take them down, like this last lot was. I think the last time was that video of 1600, SS and the introduction of the CaMs, back in October or so.

I also got my reply from Swedish Toys R Us. I asked if they would get new dolls of the that were sold out. I also asked when they will get the new releases and if they will get the TRU exclusives (like werecat twins).

Well the reply was no surprise yet still a bummer. They said that I could send the number od the doll so they can check if she will get updated. Also they said that new releases take some time to come to Sweden (Like I know, I asked if they knew when). They also said that they have no information that they will get the TRU exclusives

I wondered that myself. The Draculaura Powder Room/Ghoulia's Scooters with the dolls still don't have images either... honestly a lot of stuff on the MH section doesn't have pics. I guess they just assume if they don't have the stock images... people will still buy it because it's MH?

It also doesn't help that my fiance said that I could get it (or something for him, lmao), but no food. My tummy is doing the whole ".....I am going to make you puke if you even consider that, I am starving" thing it often does. So the tummy wins.. again XD

Haha oh sacrafices.. I texted my husband the dolls I want the most right now are in stock online, he asked how much they were, I told him.. he hasn't responded back! Haha he is at work though so maybe he will still let me buy them, hopefully before they're gone

I noticed that the other ones don't have images as well after I said that. The description for them is right so I would hope you'd get the right thing if you ordered them.

My Lagoona and Rochelle have arrived! 8) I have a couple of questions about them!
1) There's bits of those little plasticy things that they use to attach the doll to the box on their heads, they're quite sharp, is there any way to remove them?
2) Rochelle's bangs are ROCK HARD. Can I get rid of the hair gel stuff?
3) Is it ok the wash their hair? It's not dirty or anything, I'd just like to tame Lagoona's hair a little, and perhaps get rid of the stuff in Rochelle's bangs.

1) There's bits of those little plasticy things that they use to attach the doll to the box on their heads, they're quite sharp, is there any way to remove them?
You have two options. You can try to pull them out with pliers or something, or you can just push them all the way into the head so they don't stick out anymore. They would've been those T-pronged things, but it sounds like the seller cut off the T parts and just left you with the sticks.

2) Rochelle's bangs are ROCK HARD. Can I get rid of the hair gel stuff?
Absolutely. Just brushing it might help loosen it up a little, or you can wash it.

Quote
3) Is it ok the wash their hair? It's not dirty or anything, I'd just like to tame Lagoona's hair a little, and perhaps get rid of the stuff in Rochelle's bangs.
Yep! You can wash their hair with shampoo and conditioner if you want. Or you can dip it in boiled water, which works great for straightening the hair.

Just keep in mind that some people have reported that the heat from the boiled water has set off the glue seepage problem (although it also seems to be able to start on its own, so boiled water is not the only catalyst, nor will it always do that either ... it all depends on whether the glue has been properly cured or not).


In other news, I'm excited that the deluxe fashion sets are now on the TRU website. Since Mattel is sending me a Roller Maze Frankie for free to replace my broken wave 2 Frankie, I'm going to see if I can get my mom to use the extra from the voucher that Mattel is also sending me on one of them in addition to the Powder Room Lala set. Would prefer the Abbey since I haven't got her yet, but I also really want all those clothes and shoes and stuff that inverted skunk Frankie comes with!

I snagged an Abbey but left Frankie. They didn't seem to fly off the online shelves for once which is nice :) or I just got in real fast.

In other news my latest doll came with no stand... just a base! The corner of the box where the stand normally sits has the little cardboard slits completely closed. Someone forgot to put the stand in >.< Knowing how helpful Mattel Australia I'm not holding my breath :(

You know what's worst than being broke? Being broke then when you finally get some money, you make an impulse buy on something else. XD

I found these (http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,300765.msg268740/topicseen.html#new) at the Dollar Tree today and thought they were pretty neat.

LuvlyMelody, you've got me wondering that too now! Maybe they're rereleases? Because the lady that is selling me her told me she got new supply in yesterday.. I'm really curious now! When I receive her I'll surely show some pictures.

I'm going to order her in a few minutes, so I suppose she's going to be here on Monday!

Gave my daughter Rochelle today and when I opened her, there was a grease spot on the cardboard that she was attached to.....thought, oh great.....her hair at the roots is very greasy-like.....the bummer thing was that, at TRU, I made sure I got the "best" one and she had no VISIBLE flaws.... :huh:

Of course this all stems from the "I'll just buy one to see if I like them" followed by "Ok just the ones I like" which turns into a real problem when you realize you "like" them all!  And also, "I'm totally not a doll collector."  Yeah...I think I need to rethink some of those statements.  :lol:

Personally, I'd go for the first. You can always remove the smudged paint if you're careful. Maybe it's just the angle, but the second one looks like it has a really bad case of wonk-eye. The left eye looks about two or three millimetres higher than the right. Please feel free to to correct me if I'm wrong, as I say it may just be the angle of the picture.

Hmm, yeah you're right I could remove it! However, I'm terribly clumsy so I'm scared I'd ruin her. I guess the angle does work creating that wonky-eye-effect, but the seller did state her eye was slightly higher. However, I already ordered her now. So let's hope for the best!

Ok, Skeleton Torso for the MH dolls:

First off, the resin feels a bit different than the stuff used for the dolls normally does, but it seems to hold up nicely.  Since it is a hand made piece, the arm holes aren't perfectly sized for the pegs, but that is easily fixed...means I need to fix mine now xD  It bends in different ways than the MH torsos since it comes in 3 pieces:  the pelvis, spine, and ribs.  The ribs and spine aren't staying connected very well...I'm not super happy about it, seeing as it is making it hard for me to get her body in one piece.  Might have to try some tape or poly clay to fix it a bit...

Next, when put together, it is able to move in slightly different ways, more angles, can bend forward a bit, as well as back.  THey can move side to side some as well.  It's really nifty! 

The head moves just fine on it, and the legs move well too...You can actually pose their legs so she can sit on her bum and thighs, with her legs bent...kinda the ladylike way to sit on the ground?  She con cross her leg over her knee, and it doesn't look bad! 

The dresses look good on them, and I like how it sits...and it doesn't look like she is missing any...um...parts.  xD  It also doesn't look bad as far as bones go!  I really am impressed with this set.  Not so happy about the rib/spine thing, but I'll live.  =]

And now, pictures!

Her left eye seems to have been painted smaller than her right eye (seriously, how does this happen so consistently in this playline what with the paint machine screening the face-up?) and thus not properly filling out the bottom portion of her "eye socket." Hopefully it isn't that noticeable in person and a lot of Lagoonas do tend to suffer from this minor defect so...

Just returned from shopping today.  Lots of "new to my area" stuff.  I saw the Coffin Bean and School Playset for the first time today.  It was sorta depressing to leave the Coffin Bean behind, but I'm waiting for the exclusive one.  I will NOT be buying the School set.  Nice to see in store though.  My Wal-mart had 10 Cupid re-releases.  We NEVER got 1600 Cupid, and now 10 sub-par re-releases.  I need that diary, but I could not force myself to buy another one.  I looked over all 10 trying to talk myself into one, but they all looked terrible and I'd rather save that $20 for something new....

I noticed some interesting things today, I thought I'd share.  Along with the Cupid re-releases, there were a couple 2.0 Frankies and 1.0 Lalas.  What interesting is that one Lala had the face screening with the far appart eyes, and the other had the newer screening with the closer together eyes.  Weird that they still can't decide what to do with her eyes:)

I saw a bunch of Roadsters at Target, some older and some newer.  The newer ones include a paper doll of 1600 Clawd sitting in the passenger seat next to Lala. 

If anyone wants to sell their Cupid diary keep me (though I think Mandy asked first) in mind:)  Thanks.

Yeah, but I guess it's also because her head is tilted a bit to the side. The one with the smeared lips look like she's having the same problem.. So I suppose you're right about a lot having that flaw! I hope the Lagoona I ordered looks okay in person too! But even if the indent of her eye shows because the eye has been placed too high/is too small, I'll love her to pieces. My Rochelle has a lot of flaws too, but I'm not going to let go of her either! Thanks for giving your opinion. :3

I know, right?! I didn't want Abbey before, so I never picked up her fashion packs. But now that I want that new deluxe fashion Abbey, I thought I'd go get that first fashion pack with the snowboard at least, but all her fashion packs have disappeared off the shelves. There's pretty much just Spectra's and Toralei's now, with the odd Frankie and Cleo packs.

I saw Operetta's and Clawdeen's packs at a store once, but they've been bought as well and I haven't seen them since.

Post Merge: June 29, 2012, 04:03:34 PM

Also, has anyone bought the Puma CAM yet? If so, what thighs/torso/biceops do you use with him?

Mine is on it's way and I plan to paint some limbs for him....but i haven't decided which I will use.  Might be vampire bits, since that is what I'll have doubles of xD 

I'm wondering if anyone will forge custom parts for him....or perhaps use a spare Holt's parts? I'd buy that! On that note, is there anyone here who is good at tearing apart real dolls? I'd totally pay someone to combine Holt and Puma...

Ha! I don't think any major corporation like Mattel would ever respond in such a manner! I'm not planning to give ideas anyway - I'm planning to ask questions!
LOL.

I haven't done the car seats, but I have gone through drawers all over the house and a few times through the car(s). So If I do it, it shouldn't be sad.

I actually found a dollar today myself!

Honestly, what would that even accomplish? They held votes for who should be the next doll and Arachne did not win, so she did not get made. How is sending them an email(and I am sure plenty have done so) going to do anything other than get on their nerves.

I don't mean to sound rude or anything, but honestly I think there are far better things you could email Mattel about then all but begging them to make a doll.

In other news, I swapped my Cleos' heads today and they look great! I also swapped the hands, as I didn't really like GB Cleo's hands as much. The hands are slightly off-color with the GB body, but you can't really tell, and 2.0 Cleo's head was already somewhat mismatched with her body and it just so happens to match with GB Cleo's body pretty well. Yay! Now I can get rid of that horribly floppy 2.0 Cleo body. The GB Cleo body is much better. The joints are all much tighter, and her hips are the new plastic joints rather than the elastic.

Speaking of which, I was a bit disappointed to find that my Jackson has elastic hips. Being a newer doll, I was expecting him to have the new plastic hip joints. Oh well. I also gave him a good haircut today. Looks much better. Now he doesn't look like he's just come back from a visit to a really cheap barber shop.

Asking a few question isn't really rude. The worst that happens is they say "We can't tell you that" or "I don't have that information." Asking questions NEVER hurts, if anything it brings things to the companies attention that might be put into motion at a later date!

Also WOW, Skull Shores Cleo is beautiful! Hopefully people are buying the sets for Frankie and she'll show up fairly cheaply by herself in a little while...

The Scary Tales dolls are so beautiful! Well, Frankie and Clawdeen anyway. Ula...I'm gonna have to see more pictures, but that green dress... I sorely doubt it's her color. Still! I can't wait for them all. :3 I just know I'm gonna be tempted to keep them MIB, but I also want to play with them... XD At least with the Ghouls Rule line I won't feel bad at all about taking those beauties out of their boxes. Not a great box to begin with, and then add in dat CGI, urgh. I guess it's kind of a good thing, haha, for making that choice easy for me.

Tuney:  I'll be using a double Vampire CAM for Puma Boy.  His stock shorts cover his upper legs completely, I just need to find something to cover his upper body.  I don't understand why they release add-on packs with tanks and halter tops?  If you're not going to give us the parts we need, at least give us proper clothes to cover up the mismatched pieces!  I think I'm finished tearing apart extra dolls to build CAMs.  I'd rather spend the $20 to not have to deal with drilling out those legs.

GAH upcoming releases overload ... I'm so excited for the TRU exclusive Abbey and Frankie sets. They rock!!!

Speaking of new dolls ... WOOT!!! I made a bit more off book royalties than expected this month; therefore the ghost and bee have joined my ghoulfriends.

I agree! I mean, if they're making the Voodoo doll and a bagillion new CAMs and other characters, it's inevitable that Bloodgood and Arachne will get released as well. Eventually. I think once Scarah is finally out, we may start to hear more. And I think the fact that Arachne won the facebook vote is a good sign as well!

Kala: congrats on your royalties!

grzan: Yeah, it sucks all around. I'm hoping someone uses Holt's body parts to complete the puma and sells him on ebay!

I'm trying to think of a personality for him. I can't get away from French hipster. (Look at me, I love the CAM sets so much that I can't help but give them personalities before I get them!)

I definitely plan to get her eventually, but more for the doll with her unusual hair color arrangement (I think it's darling!) than any of her accessories. Not super keen on pants, and ALL of the plastic bits being recolors is a little off-putting. But she is beautiful. <3

I cannot waaaait to get Powder Room Draculaura though! Seriously, her and her TINY BATHTUB are like, my most wanted monsters right now. And I'd love to pick up Ghoulia and her Scooter at the same time, but mainly, need that Ula! So I'm forcing myself to wait on the Fashion gals, because that money needs to go to the playsets for the time being. *frantically wills them to be in-stock whenever I can get back to my TRU!*

Killer Style Frankie is the same as Gloom Beach Frankie but with her hair in a ponytail, right? I got the Day at the Maul outfits, which are modified versions of the killer style outfits.

Not a big fan of Home Ick Frankie myself. I prefer the shorter haired ones, like SS Frankie and the new Roller Maze Frankie.

Anyway, I hope you are able to save up enough and that, when you do, the Frankie you want is still available!

It's the opposite for me. I want her outfits, especially those stitched-together pants, but I don't particularly like the inverted skunk hairdo.

Very useful link, but Target cleeearly hates me, as I tried four zip codes around central Texas (we're talking hundreds of miles) and not one of them has them in-stock. =_= The only reason I'm not spazzing out trying to buy them secondhand is that pretty much the only thing I really like about the set is Clawdeen's amazing purple hair. Really hoping Target starts getting shipments of them again in the nearish future, as I still need them for completion. I certainly can't miss an entire signature character.

How do you know if you've got the glue seepage problem or not? Was just checking out my new GB Draculaura, and the roots of her hair seemed a wee bit waxy, but they don't seem to be sticking together and causing her hair to thin out or anything. Maybe it's just the early stages?

On a tangent, I've seen some people refer to Draculaura as "Ula D". Just out of curiosity, where did that nickname for her come from? I thought her "official" nickname was "Lala".

Garrett Sander, Rebecca Shipman, and Natalie Villegas (Monster High toy designers) and Eric Hardie (Monster High copywriter) are rumored to be revealing new ghouls in school and their inspiration for them.

New ghouls? I'm wondering if they're going to show even more signature monster dolls?

Ula D is her official official nickname.
Just to add to this Lala is her name in the books, which is a FAAAAAAR departure to the doll/webisode continuity as it were, and that seems to be the highest canon (even if I love the more realistic things about the books XD). And uuuugggghhhh I need that Abbey :(

Ah OK. I haven't read any of the books or watced any of the webisodes.

I think I like "Lala" better than "Ula D". How do you even pronounce the latter? Is it "Oola" or "You-la"?

Hell if I know, lol. I've pronounced it as "Oola" when wondering out loud with my fiance as they why in the world they even went with that name, since I don't think it's used in the webisodes.. at all, just it seems like the dolls and the webisodes share a continuity. Sounds like she was trying to be a DJ or a rap artist.

I think Holt used Ula D in his diary as a reference to Draculaura :) That's the first I heard of it.
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: crimsondeity on June 30, 2012, 04:37:17 AM
In the first diary, Draculaura mentions that she tries to get all her friends to call her "Ula D" but that they don't always (I always took it as a "Stop trying to make 'fetch' happen" kind of thing lol). It's also mentioned on... the box? of the Clawd/Lala double pack. But it's in a poem that she wrote, so it's still her referring to herself as such.

In the novels, the monsters (or R.A.D.S, as they secretly call themselves) are hiding out among humans; they use nicknames, like "Blue" for Lagoona, and "Lala" for Draculaura. Some of the other characters, like Cleo, kept there original names.

 Back in the day, when the line was still new, there were only handful of us that owned all the dolls, and kept up with all the different canons. We tended to be the source of the majority of conversation and information. One guy in particular LOVED the book canon and began using "Lala" frequently, as opposed to "Ula D" (Draculaura is a bit awkward to type out). It sort of stuck, and is mostly why that nickname has become more prevalent than the other. Probably the one thing from the books the majority of the fanbase uses frequently, since they tend to be the least favorite canon for most people :P

edit: I believe M!ndy is correct, Holt also refers to Draculaura as "Ula D" once in his diary.
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: Keelee_von_Cupcake on June 30, 2012, 04:41:18 AM
It's pronounced like "Ooh-la", of course, as in "Now, Ula dance!" (A line from The Producers. XD <3) I think it's adorable. (Even Ula users like me don't add a D. That, I will admit, is rather silly.)

Lala will always be Lagoona to me. <3 Draculaura already has a cute nickname in Ula, while Lala is Lagoona's best option.

I think Wydowna is a take on the name Wynona, but I don't get the pun at all. And maybe they used Wynona as refrence to Wynona Judd? Because she's a country singer and daughter of arachne has a western look? Iunno, just trying to rationalise.

I just used the chat option! I can't believe how super helpful they were :D As fair warning, I complained about Rochelle too, and since she was in store, I would have had to send her back. But she has a perfect face so I decided to keep her.

Ohh lala, hellooooooo ladies, *grabby hands*. They are stunning. Need.

...if they're making the Voodoo doll and a bagillion new CAMs and other characters, it's inevitable that Bloodgood and Arachne will get released as well. Eventually. I think once Scarah is finally out, we may start to hear more. And I think the fact that Arachne won the facebook vote is a good sign as well!
I hope so, I need an Arachne in my life too.

I like that Frankie, really I do... but the more I see that stock outfit, the more I think she looks like a hot dog seller D: Cannot unsee!

I love her too and...yep now you've said it, hotdogs....

True. I guess it all boils down to how the extra arms attach (my memory is a bit fuzzy atm , so I can't quite recall how they looked in her promo picture)

Speaking of her country theme, I wonder what her pet is? I would image it's something you'd find on a ranch, but with a twist.

So which Scary Tales doll is everyone after most? My chief want is Clawdeen, though I'll probably cave and buy Frankie as well. Draculaura? Hell. No.

Also, do you think they'll end up releasing more Scary Tales characters? And if so, who do you think will make the cut? It would be rather odd of them to only release a set of three, don't you think? They typically release four dolls at a minimum per set, right?

Creeping Beauty Cleo would be amazing.
I'd like to see a Hansel and Gretel version of Meowlody and Purrsephone. They and Toralei need more love!

I'm on the fence about adding any of the Scary Tales dolls to my collection. I love the concept of the line itself but I'm not a huge fan of how the dolls were executed. I do like Clawdeen's hair and makeup though, so I may end up with her once I can track them down in stores.

I think Toralei as Puss in Boots (with some killer shoes of course) would be a cute addition to the Scary Tales dolls. I also love the idea of Lagoona as The Little Mermaid and Cleo as "Creeping Beauty."  :)

I REALLY want the Scary Tales outfits (well, Clawdeen and Frankie's, anyway...) but I'm not really in love with any of the dolls- I like to only keep one of each character, so I tend to hold out for the "OMG MUST HAVE"s XD

edit: Toralei as Puss in Boots would be AMAZING!  Do want!

Wydowna Spider is a great name! I hope she's revealed at SDCC, and will be a regular release... I hate spiders but I'd totally get her doll, so cute. I really hope they make the Headless Headmistress now as well...

I want all three so bad :inlove: I don't think I could really pick a favourite, but it might be Snow Bite (I like that dress that everyone hates XD). I reeeally hope someone in the States can grab them all for me! Curse our total lack of Targets! *cries*

Woohoo, went to TRU, they had new RM girls, re releases, exclusive ghoulia with scooter and the draulaura and powder room. They also had the new fashion packs!!! I wanted to take a picture of the section but there were some little girls ooing and awwing and I didn't want to make them move just to get a picture. I happily got myself an Abbey though

Ravie - DT Clawdeen is ok in my opinion, but GR Clawdeen is just spectacular. Spectacular, I say! I plan to take photos of mine tomorrow.

This morning I was ecstatic when three custom Lolita dresses from Poland arrived in the mail for me. They are so, so well done, and so, so pretty! Sally McBones, black-haired Frankie, and mohawk Clawdeen are currently rocking them. Photos tomorrow.

ETA: Here are some of the dresses the seller makes. Each are custom. She's really fab, don't you think?

I was thinking about what Mattel could do with other Scary Tale dolls, and when Cleo came to mind, I instantly thought of "The Princess and the Pea."  I'm not sure how the story goes, except the princess couldn't sleep with a pea under her mattress.  Please correct me if I'm wrong:)  I also wanted to think outside the Disney-box :lol:  I like that Red Riding Hood was included in the line.

grzan: I definitely agree with thinking outside the Disney box!

Ravie: Yeah, Clawdeen has totally become my favorite. A few of her versions I will probably never buy, though, like the SS, new fashion pack, and DOTD. That green hair - I just can't stand it! I'm liking the GB version more and more, but the back of her head is sparsely rooted. Do you do partial reroots? All she really needs is a few more plugs here and there. She totally has a bald spot in the back of her head, and it's kinda sad.

I think the DT and the GB Clawdeens are my favorite. I love the purple and brown they put on the GB though. It's a good way to give her the funky hair with sacrificing the Clawdeen feel. :D

I really can't pick a favorite of the Monster High girls. I like them all. And I think whomever my favorite tends to be just goes towards who I dressed the best that day.
Though I will say my CAMs are my favorite, but that's simply for the fact that I can personalize them.

I am beginning to find this to be true for myself as well. Frankie is the one who got me into MH in the first place, and I thought she was my favorite, but Lagoona's been giving her a real run for her money lately, and then when I redid my Howleen's hair, she suddenly shot up in my esteem, and even just last night when I was photographing my new GB Clawdeen, I was like, "All that purple! She's frickin' awesome! I love her!"

So yeah ... I don't really know who is my favorite anymore. At least, not with the girls. My favorite of the boys is definitely the gargoyle boy. By the way, I found a good surname for him: MacQuarrie. Now I just need to think of a good first name.

Tuneful, I've seen those loli dresses before and loved them! Thanks for giving us info, I couldn't find them anymore.

I was thinking about what Mattel could do with other Scary Tale dolls, and when Cleo came to mind, I instantly thought of "The Princess and the Pea."  I'm not sure how the story goes, except the princess couldn't sleep with a pea under her mattress.  Please correct me if I'm wrong:)  I also wanted to think outside the Disney-box :lol:  I like that Red Riding Hood was included in the line.

You're quite correct! I love the stories of Hans Christian Andersen! Here's the ''full'' story, sorry if you aren't interested, haha.

There once was a prince that had to marry soon, but he couldn't find a bride. But seeing as he couldn't just marry anyone, he and his parents came up with a plan. They would test who's a real princess! The plan was to let anyone that wanted to marry him, had to sleep a top of many, many (20 actually) matresses with a (secretly placed) pea underneath them all. If they could feel the pea underneath all of those matresses, it would prove they're a real princess. Because the royal family knew only a princess could have such a sensitive skin. Many girls came by their castle, but every one of them managed to sleep well.

On a stormy night, someone knocked on their door. It was a girl that looked horrible because of all the rain. However, she claimed to be a princess. So she had to take the same test just like the rest of the ''princesses''. When she woke up the next morning, the queen asked her if she slept alright. To which she replied that she couldn't sleep because something was poking in her back the whole night. It felt like there was a huge rock underneath her bed. They were convinced she was a princess and the prince and princess were allowed to marry!

grzan - It's a Moxie wig! One finally went up for sale on ebay. It's the same wig Tyra Fangs has been wearing in ANTM (see below). I basically just clamped it on Clawd's head best as I could...

Side note, I FINALLY got Rochelle today when I stopped by Target on my way home as an early b-day gift to myself.  ^.^ And I absolutely adore her!! Pictures of her definitely do not that girl justice as she is so stunning in person and....yeah...I just love her to bits. :heart: 


They had a lot of her, Jackson, Nefra, Abbey, and Operetta. They also had the new CAM vampire boy and gargoyle set, witch and cat girl sets, and either the werewolf and dragon set or sea creature and whoever she comes with sets that have the second torso. But I did not get any of them...though I was highly tempted.

Ghoulia was the original for me. Now she's not that interesting to me anymore.

I haven't really been able to determine the clawdeen brown yet, it's not quite chestnut, but i haven't had too much of a chance to really narrow it down either ^^;

That and it's extremely hard to dress them as their biceps are bigger, chests broader, and thighs wider. They're wearing Barbie dresses...they fill them out fairly well actually.

I reckon they should do a bed for Cleo, and it should be a sarcophagus.

Also, someone was talking, I think in the last thread, about how Rochelle's colors never seem to come through properly in pictures. It's true that there are some colors that cameras just can't capture. Certain shades of purple are one. For instance, the purple in this shot I took of Clawdeen last night isn't anywhere near as rich as the actual color:

Can someone please help me out?  I'm looking for something like the top Cameron is wearing in this picture:

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


I can buy the doll for $14.99, but all I want is that shirt, and the hat, too.  Alittle too much for a shirt, plus I'd have a whole bunch of leftover stuff I'd never use. 

Anyone have something similar laying around, collecting dust?  Know a seller/are a seller who can make me one?  I'd like it to fit really close to the body, as I plan to layer another shirt on top. 

By the way, this should fit a CAM, right?  Because I'll probably cave and buy it anyway :(

Or maybe you could tell me when you think people will start selling these dolls by pieces on Ebay.  I've been looking, but all they have are MIBs starting at $20.

It is a "True Hope" Bratz boy doll, BTW:)

Unfortunately I don't know where else you might get such a shirt, but I did come across a nice size comparison post while semi-researching the same problem for my new CAM boys:

Just looking at the picture, I bet the Bratz top would fit, but it seems like Ken might be a better pants source, because of the height. Do share whatever you find/decide to do, though. :3

If anyone is interested in altering doll clothes to fit their monster high Guys and Ghouls here is one little trick i've developed

Get some Fabri-Tac Glue (I got mine at a fabric store and its been my most favorite tool to use with my art since I do not have to sew any more or get my fingers all rough with crazy glue)

I put the garment of clothing i want to alter on my Monster High Doll and see where to take it in from the back by folding the velcro pieces while stuck together over. Then i figure how many folds are needed with the velcro strips to fit the doll the way i want. Before Gluing i reme the garment. I then fold the velcro strip on the back of the garment over and have the velcro piece on the top. I add the glue under the fold so that the garment has been taken in a little bit. I do this to both sides so that it is equal at the back. You fold the garment more times but in an accordion style so that the velcro is still usable so that it can fit your monster high doll. Yes I does get a little buckly back there but some garments you don't have to take in much as others. Barbie Jeans for MH guys only took one fold for me and Liv and Moxie Girls took too folds for me since i like my outfits a bit more snug. Hope this is understandable lol was hard to type and not be able to show you step by step what i do. If needed i can take some instructional pix if any one is interested.

here are some Liv, Moxie and Bratz Clothes I've picked up at the thrift store I've altered for some cute fashions for my extra Monster High Dolls to wear.
ENJOY!

After waiting so long, Rochelle and Jackson are FINALLY in-stock here! I didn't look at Jackson, but the two Rochelle's that were there had the bad eye things. One had minor paint scratches over both eyes, but the other looked like the machine or whatever ran out of paint. The pupils were blotchy and you could see the eye colour right through it. Like someone just took a semi-dry sponge and dabbed it where the pupils should be.  :blink:

I'm going to wait a couple weeks for the next re-stock and see if I can find a better one.

Congrats, ponyseeker and jupi! While the new Abbey is pretty, I mainly want her for those three pairs of shoes! I will hit  up my local TRU tomorrow, I think...

Ravie - DT Clawdeen is ok in my opinion, but GR Clawdeen is just spectacular. Spectacular, I say! I plan to take photos of mine tomorrow.

This morning I was ecstatic when three custom Lolita dresses from Poland arrived in the mail for me. They are so, so well done, and so, so pretty! Sally McBones, black-haired Frankie, and mohawk Clawdeen are currently rocking them. Photos tomorrow.

ETA: Here are some of the dresses the seller makes. Each are custom. She's really fab, don't you think?

Anything good? I've been to several Warehouses around town recently and haven't seen anything super new, although more of them are starting to get things like Lala's roadster and powder room and Ghoulia's scooter and stuff like that. They're all starting to get Operetta and Nefera as well, plus both the Warehouse and Farmers appear to have gotten in cases of Sweet 1600 (with Clawd!) and Dawn of the Dance recently, as all of the stores I've been to in the last two weeks have had plenty of both those sets, whereas I hadn't seen them around much at all a few weeks before that.

But I'll tell you what else rocks. Bootsales. Bootsales rock, a lot, especially when you come out of one with this...

I saw some photo's on Ebay from someone who's selling powder room Draculaura and I'm quite dissapointed in her hair. I was expecting those gorgeous curls from the photo we saw! Even her hair on the box is different.

On another note, I was at the attic yesterday and I have to say, I love my younger self. I stored (almost) all of my Bratz stuff in one box on top of all my old toys (which I couldn't reach easily). And everything was in quite nice condition, it did show some wear of playing so much with it, but it was mostly fraying on some clothes. I ended up playing with the clothes a bit and the result is this.. :lol:

Working on customizing my Gloom Beach Frankie. I always liked her turquoise makeup, and I got a pretty turquoise dress and tights for her and was going to replace the black in her hair with turquoise and call it a day.... but then I discovered her glue seepage. So I decided to start from scratch! Took ages to get all her hair and glue out, and then I decided to repaint her face. The shadow and majority of the lashes are original, but I repainted her brows, her irises/pupils and her lips.

Thanks for all the help, everyone.  Good suggestions and wonderful pictures of your girls out of stock clothing:)  I don't want to go too far outside of stock, I just want somethings to cover up mismatched limbs :huh:  I'm gonna find that shirt (if it takes me forever :lol:) and put in under the puma's tank........


Cupid:  I saw 10 of them at Walmart last week and could not force myself to buy one.  No matter how much I want that diary, it doesn't make up for the quality issues I saw (no offense to anyone that prefers her.)  The major thing that bugged me was the paint on the lower legs.  The white is almost see-though, where as the 1600 Cupid has nice thick white paint.  You can see this in the comparasion photos above, too.

I went out today because my fiancee got a phone with a $30 gift card that came with it. So I grabbed the sea monster/ vampire CAM set since that's all I could find at three Targets. I also stopped by Toys R Us and saw a bunch of re-release but no Spectra sadly. We decided to see a movie instead of me getting any dolls from there (even though I had to resist the La Dee Da girls). What I find funny is that one the way out somebody had totally ditched a re-release Cupid in an impulse bin. I almost got her, but I realized I actually don't like her that much. It's her dress I love. DX

the black horse with pink hair int he background is Shadow from the "the Golden Girl and the Guardians of the Gemstone" series, random yard sale find for 10 cents ... same with the baby moondancer near her lol

and it's not so much that her lower legs/arms are different, they  match the origianl VERY well ... it's like they changed her UPPER limbs to a more creamy color ... you can see the new lower limbs match the origianl lower limbs, but the upper limbs are more off white ... more of a BONE color which lends itself to her being a bone elemental ... the difference is a bit distracting, definately agree there

Yeah same here! I loved that fro.
One of our Aussie members posted a photo of the actual doll in-box a while back, and I recall thinking that I liked the actual doll much better than the one on the box art. I am having a lot of trouble getting into Draculaura, and the powder room doll is the first one I think I really like. I don't like her usually severe hairstyles or her rather heavy makeup, so the more "stripped bare" powder room doll's face-up appeals to me, as does her softer, curly hair (especially the fringe).

Mattel is sending me a $36 voucher as compensation for some floppy dolls, and I'm going to have my mother put it towards a powder room + doll set (we only get the powder room sans doll here, since we have no TRUs in this country) for me.

My GB Lala arrived the other day and I spent last night trying to do something with her hair, but I honestly can't do anything with it without leaving obvious bald patches on her head. I think she's also got the beginnings of glue seepage ~ her hair was feeling a little waxy down by her scalp, but I washed and conditioned her hair last night and it seems OK now.

But I still am having trouble getting into her. I'm also disappointed because her Day at the Maul tights were badly stitched together so the row of bows want to be on the inside of her legs instead of at the front where they're supposed to be ...  :huh:

I'm not sure I'm going to keep her. I really wanted to like her. I thought the GB version was the one I liked best, but now I'm not so sure. I even like my Home Ick Frankie better, and I was sure I was just going to strip her nude and sell her right away. Now I'm having second thoughts. I might keep Frankie and sell Lala instead.

Sigh ...

Even if her hair's not in a curly fro, I still think I like this Lala better than any of the others. I like that she doesn't have so much eye makeup on, and I also like that her fringe isn't so severely straight or in the stereotypical vampirical 'v' shape.

I'm also jazzed that she comes with her pet, as I am still looking to get Count Fabulous, although I do wish s/he wasn't wearing a bathrobe. That'll limit her useability as a photography subject. (Whereas Lala's bathrobe can double as a kimono. I have visions of doing a photoshoot of her in that kimono wielding a katana. If only I could find one that's the right scale ...)

I do wish the mirror was a real mirror and not just a picture but oh well ... we can't have everything we want, right? ;)

Can I ask who the black/pink horse is in the background please?

the black horse with pink hair int he background is Shadow from the "the Golden Girl and the Guardians of the Gemstone" series, random yard sale find for 10 cents ... same with the baby moondancer near her lol


Thankyou! :hug: What a bargain! I'm hitting up eBay looking for one, need her in my life now!

I have to agree: a black horse with pink hair is much more fitting for MH than the pink or purple Barbie unicorns I was looking at in the shop the other day. Wouldn't it be awesome if, were they ever to do the headless headmaster doll, they also did her nightmare horse? I would so buy that!

EDIT: Doesn't look like there's much in the way of "Golden Girl and the Guardians of the Gemstone" stuff on eBay at the moment. What I did find looks very Conan-esque, with lots of beautiful women scantily clad in furs and armor and wielding swords and stuff. They look like they came straight out of a Larry Elmore (http://larryelmore.com/) fantasy painting.

Though her striped dress can barely be called a dress XD

Will take better pictures of her tomorrow since the lightning is so bad

I'm still debating whether or not I want to keep mine. I don't really like that plastered straight fringe. And I've found that I prefer the shorter-haired Frankies. My SS Frankie is my favorite (although I'd like her even more if she was in color) and I'm looking forward to getting my RM Frankie as well.

I was thinking that since Mattel is sending me the RM Frankie as a replacement for my wave 2 Frankie with the broken arm, I thought rather than sell her, I'd just use her as my guinea pig. I already used her as my test subject for using the hair dryer to heat up the head enough to get it off. Next I'm thinking I'll use her as a test subject for giving my dolls a haircut. If I can give Home Ick Frankie a cute little bob to go with that fringe, then I might just like her enough to keep her.

I know, right?! It's more like a long shirt or blouse or something. At least she's got those cute as leggings on underneath. (To be honest, the only reason I got her in the first place was for those tights and her shoes, which are to die for!)

Yep it's going to be one of those toys I'm going to be searching years for!

I was looking at a couple of my Barbie horses earlier and wondering if I should paint them to be more MH. Plastic-friendly spray paint should do it, with the detail done in acrylics...the problem being is I like them all too much to cutomise! Think I'm going to have to hit the charity shops tomorrow and see what I can find.

Also, just noticed with my new Rochelle... she has two plugs left completely un-haired under one of her ears. It's left her with a slightly noticeable bald patch (esp. compared to the other side). WTH?! I don't want to return her because she had the nicest balance of green/pink I could find, and it might take a while for me to even find her again... sigh...

At least I'm growing to like her green streaks more.

One of our Aussie members posted a photo of the actual doll in-box a while back, and I recall thinking that I liked the actual doll much better than the one on the box art. I am having a lot of trouble getting into Draculaura, and the powder room doll is the first one I think I really like. I don't like her usually severe hairstyles or her rather heavy makeup, so the more "stripped bare" powder room doll's face-up appeals to me, as does her softer, curly hair (especially the fringe).

I know what that's like! Her make-up usually look very hard and this one doesn't. Same goes for the Dead Tired dolls, I like those very much too because they have a very soft look.

Quote
My GB Lala arrived the other day and I spent last night trying to do something with her hair, but I honestly can't do anything with it without leaving obvious bald patches on her head.

I think a lot of dolls have that problem, but you just have to work around it! I did that with my Rochelle and Frankie (photo few pages back) too. But yes, I agree, it can be very hard to come up with something you want and not having those bald patches.

Quote
I think she's also got the beginnings of glue seepage ~ her hair was feeling a little waxy down by her scalp, but I washed and conditioned her hair last night and it seems OK now.

Oh dear, I hope she doesn't have it! I'm glad to hear she's okay now though, let's hope it stays like that.

Quote
But I still am having trouble getting into her. I'm also disappointed because her Day at the Maul tights were badly stitched together so the row of bows want to be on the inside of her legs instead of at the front where they're supposed to be ...  :huh:

Yeah, I can understand! I never really liked gloom beach Draculaura. I'd rather have skull shores Draculaura but I guess that's mainly because of the clothing. I really like SS Lala's outfit, but her make-up is not my thing.

I had one but I didn't like him at the time so I sold him. I think his outfit is fairly hideous. But now I am finding myself wanting him so I can take this photo. What do I do?! :help:

It's not as nice as I thought it would be based on the photos I saw online. I still prefer the powder room doll. I may just hang on to GB Lala until I get her, though, just on the off-chance that she has elastic hips, since my GB Lala has the new plastic hip joints. I've already done head swaps on my GB Ghoulia and GB Cleo so my wave 1 Ghoulia and wave 2 Cleo can have bodies that aren't floppy.

I don't know if any of them be suitable for your photos, but there's some nice looking katanas (intended for 12" action figures/dolls, so the scale may be slightly larger than MH) up on ebay at the moment. You can find them by typing in "katana 1/6." Some are on the pricey side (they're made of actual metal) but they look really nice.

YES. I found out about it almost 2 weeks ago, when I was ordering a game off ebay. It gives you 14 days before the money is taken out of your account, but it pays the seller upfront, so you're paying after it makes it's way safely to you. It's supposed to give you added peace of mind when ordering things, but it's really just made almost a line of credit for me, since I get paid every two weeks. :X

Well, that's the thing. I bought him once before on an impulse and decided I didn't like him, so I sold him. Now I want him again, but I don't know if I actually want him or just want him for the photo. I'll have to have a good look at him again. Sometimes I warm up to the dolls that I didn't like at first. I still think his outfit is pretty ugly though.

But also yes, I'm not really supposed to be buying anything for the next two months.

I also have seen people taken pictures of their monster High dolls where they are standing in the pidgeon toe pose. How do you make them stand that way? I've tried with my new Frankie, but it doesn't work and I'm afraid to break her leg

NoDivision:  I am super interested in seeing your custom when she is finished.  I love the original idea of white and turquoise stripes.  I how you still plan to do that!

Thanks! That's still the plan, just have to get off my butt and actually put her hair in. Hairing dolls... *shudders*
Her new face makeup looks really pretty so far ^_^ I love that you painted the lines in the lips!

OMG TUNEY!!! Those new dresses are SO pretty and I looooove your skeleton girl D: <3 I also just adore that cherry print dress that... Meowlody? The white-haired werecat is wearing. It's so so so so cute!

Thank you! I personally can't tell the twins apart. I'm calling them Shellie and Stephanie, after sisters I knew growing up - one was blonde, the other raven-haired. The cherry dress is quite adorable isn't it? I snatched it up a few days after I saw it. It's one of those one of a kind things that you just can't pass up.

That's how I do it too. My DT Lala (1.0 with the sticking-up pigtails) can do awesome pigeon toes, heh. But some of mine have stiff knees that don't want to twist so I don't force them  ^.^ Depends on the doll I guess!

I think it definitely depends on the doll - they all have slightly different stiff joints and such. My general rule is if it doesn't want to bend - don't force it... unless I really really really want it to bend :D

Hey guys, could you help me with something? If the seller has send your package and was supposed to give you the track and trace info two days ago, would it be rude to ask for it again now?

Thanks so much for posting these! I'm going to try my hand at making an avatar out of the Rochelle one now, which might be hard considering I don't have photoshop or anything like it at home.. xD

Would you mind if it was like your Operetta avatar? If so, I won't make it. But it's really cute and well done~

Oh dear, I believe I'm guilty of doing this too.. I recently bought Rochelle, now I'm waiting for w1 Lagoona to arrive. While I'm waiting on her, I'm only looking for more dolls.

Tsk! Tsk!

That's kinda what I did. My big box o' dolls that I just received last week were all dolls I'd purchased on eBay back in May. In the meantime, I'd bought a couple others here in NZ.

And now I'm still wanting to buy myself a Holt just for this one photo I want to take ... and I'm trying to justify it by saying that Jackson isn't complete without his other side. It's like you need two dolls to make the one character complete, you know? Even though I hate his outfit, I still kinda want him. I mean, I could always give him different clothes, right?

And at the same time, since he's kind of an old doll now and there's no guarantee he'll be rereleased, I feel like I ought to buy him while I still can, especially since the stores are all having toy sales right now. It's the perfect opportunity.

It's just that I've told my wife I won't be buying anything more, so if I were to get him, I'd have to try and keep it a secret, which would be bad.

If only I did know someone here in Auckland who had him so I could borrow him for the photo shoot.

You should definitely get her. Once you get her out of those clothes, replace the green gloves, and part/tidy up her hair, she becomes an entirely different doll. I also removed the gold line of glitter across her forehead - whatever it was meant to be, I hated it.

For those of you who have re-haired your CAM dolls how do you do it? Mainly, how do you get around that big hole in their head where the wig is supposed to go? I would imagine that you just put a lot of hair in that particular part and poke holes for other plugs, but I am not sure exactly. Wow....that question sounds really dumb, forgive me.

That's not a dumb question at all!  I haven't done one myself, tho I am considering it.  I've seen some put a large plug in the middle hole where the wig peg is supposed to go, and some have drilled or melted holes into the hard plastic.

I have one of the new TRU frankies on the way, I may just keep her clothes and sell the doll, not sure.  I like mh clothes...  I wasn't able to snag abbey, they sold out while I was checking out.  What really bugs me is TRU didn't bother to tell me that it happened til AFTER I paid, so because I didn't get her, I didn't get free shipping :/

I also caved and bought a mini sewing machine yesterday.  I was hand sewing for a while, but it took too long and my hand sewing skills are...meh...I have a little handheld sewing thing but it's crud and didn't look any better than my own hand stitching (it was just faster lol)  So when I saw the little sewing machine at the swap meet yesterday, I didn't hesitate.  It only has one type of stitch, but that's ok, I only really need one.  When I need more I plan on buying a full size machine.  This one was 10 bucks, and while second hand, it was brand new, other than some water damage to the box and manual.  It's also blue...I like blue...I made my first decent dress last night, I'm so proud of myself lol.  My only issue is getting the pattern right to fit that curve mh dolls have...

I see I have missed a lot in the past few days..  There was a massive storm where I live on the 29th and we just now have our power and internet back.   I have been staying with my parents since they have a generator to keep food and we were able to shower in a camper they have too. 

There is a plus side to all the mess I went through, we had to travel out of the area to get gas and supplies.  Well, while we were at the Walmart there, I checked the toy section..  I found actual MH dolls!!!   I got Cupid (with diary) Abbey's skating outfit, and the ghost CAM add-on pack!!   I'll try to have pics soon.  It's been crazy and I am tired from all the extra work and the blistering heat.   Did I mention it has been in the mid 90's during all this.  But at least I got some dolls, LOL!!

Can someone that had the new Cupid post her diary? I wanna read it but I don't wanna buy a new Cupid just for that.

SwordPony's question makes me want to ask: Is there a website of some sort that has all the US-diaries available? Since I only have the international release, all the diaries I own have been shortened and I'd love to read the full stories.. (and also those of the dolls I don't even own.) ^^

...I wish that my foster sister was the kind of kid that actually took care of her toys.... I realized that she has two Barbie vehicles (a convertible and a jeep) that she doesn't play with anymore and they would be great to customize for my dolls. Went to take a look at them, both of them are missing their windshields but nothing else...why pull off just the windshields?  :lol:

there are some camparison picture's back in the thread. The new Cupid seem to have a longer face, more bone white upper limbs and not as "glued" hair



Sigh, I can't stop looking at my Frankie *O* She is really one of my favourites now. She has such a cute face

The thing Clawdeen is clinging to is this star thing-majiggy that I've been trying to use in photoshoots for a while but I could never get any of my dolls to stay up there. T.T Luckily it worked this time! 8D

her head mold is different (longer face), her hair is different (wider bangs, no tight botton roll, braided heart twist isn't as defined and doesn't go around the top of her head), plastic or paint is different on her ... my original matches perfectly, my new one has different lower arms/legs than the rest of her ... her lower limbs seem to match my original Cupid, while her torso and uppers seem to be more of a slight off-white bone color. her skeletal wings also have much more of the gold accent color on them than the original, but i've seen several of the new Cupid and it really seems to vary from almosst none to almost purely coated gold :\

Woo! New dolls! *dance* Last month I picked up the witch/cat CAM set and Nefera (finally!) and today I picked up GR Draculaura. I"m kind of dissapointed in her box though. The back just has a short blurb along the lines of 'look what I"m wearing in a movie! lulz' that's repeated in different languages. I kind of expected more. I also wish they had artwork of the girls in their costumes in the 2d art style instead of the 3d movie style. *sigh* Oh well. Guess that's what happens with a movie tie-in. Gonna go unbox her now.

Edit: Okay... After unboxing her and playing with her for a while, I must say I have mixed feelings. She's very cute, and the concept is really fun. I just think the execution is a little bit lacking.

I wish her big pink collar was actually part of her dress and made out of fabric of some sort and not some plastic removable thing that won't lay quite properly, especially when interacting with her wings.

Her shoes need to be made out of a firmer plastic, or at least the heel. As it is I'll never be able to stand her without a stand.

Her hair should have been styled MUCH better. As it is it's a big mess and it'll take me ages to get it brushed out and prepped for restyling. The black tinsel in it is an odd choice, since it doesn't really add much to the do.

Other than that, her outfit is cute, and her face paint is really adorable. It reminds me of some of those big decorative false eyelashes you see around halloween or in fashion spreads. Of course she's got a tiny flaw, but considering how elaborate the makeup is on these dolls I think it's expected for their to be little ones. HOnestly, on mine you don't notice the flaw unless you're looking for it. It's just a tiny tiny tiny scratch along her eyeliner. IT'd be different if it was a huge lipstick smudge or something of that sort.

I love the little skleleton doll she comes with, and how it can wear one of the extra bow earrings Lala comes with as a 'hair' bow. The candy bucket is really cute too.

I do have to say that I"d like the mask if it was set up more as a pair of glasses rather than as being on a 'stick'. As it is, even if I get her to hold it she can't really wear it properly.

Oh well. Still plenty cute. I'll have fun doing the restyles on her. ^^

I actually just revamped Bratz Boyz Black Pleaterish Jackets. I used some black ribbon to extend the sleves, altered the collars and then used GIMP or Plastic string for the pink and white. Not hard at all more time consuming cutting and cluing the stripes on in the right spots.

My first and second SS Lagoonas are on display with Classroom Lagoona stock and SS Lagoona stock. So what on earth will I do with a second SS Lagoona with her stock :DDDD

I hate when nobody is home and I to wait a few days more before the package gets back again. They have a note in their mailbox, so I wonder when they drop by! I also wonder when my package gets delivered, I want my wave 1 Lagoona!

I also hope my seller is doing okay, I haven't heard from her for four days. I would feel pretty bad if I got impatient and something happened to her.. Oh dear now I'm really starting to worry.  :cry:

I was more worried about the seller than my item, really. I was afraid something happened to her, I know, I get worried very easily, haha. Congratulations on getting one of your grails!

Speaking of ''grails'', a deliveryman just came by and gave me this (sorry for all the pictures, I'll spoiler them!);

She's even prettier in person, even prettier than I expected! I'm very curious about the box though.. It's more like the newer boxes right? Maybe it's because it's a Dutch/French box.. Hmm.. Oh and apparently, I have yet another Indonesian doll. I'm really starting to think that's all we have in the Netherlands. Let's hope she's alright!

a few months ago people were still finding her at Big Lots....so I think she is fairly inexpensive....maybe $15?

Tough questions, I think they're both right.. 'Cause I've seen them both being used too! However, I've seen Killer Style used more, so I think that's the name to go for!

I'm not sure about the price, considering I'm from the Netherlands. But if it's just the doll you're after and not her clothes. You could get a Gloom Beach one too! They're basically the same doll, only the clothing is different.

I stuck it on my Ghost girl head while washing it.. and the ghost girl head looked SO CUTE with the sea monster/vamp wig... because the bangs went over some of the 'raccoon' paint of her face and just ugh. It softened it up so much! I should take a picture of that later... hm.. maybe when I'm not spinning from the heat and my neck killing me...

I'm not sure about the price, considering I'm from the Netherlands. But if it's just the doll you're after and not her clothes. You could get a Gloom Beach one too! They're basically the same doll, only the clothing is different.

It's mostly the clothes I love xD


the clothes are slight variations of the "day at the maul" fashion pack

I've got both the Killer Style and the Day at the Maul fashion pack because I'm..........crazy.  I used Killer Style Lala to make my Vampire CAM.  She was a cheap alternative to any other doll I could find at the time (a.k.a. the MH drought) and I wanted the bizaro DatM outfits.  They are great general outfits that fit (almost) any character, where as all the other fashion packs are geared to a specific monster.  I'm actually excited for the second set of Killer Style dolls to come out!

I need all the CaMs...then I need extra wigs and torsos...then there will be much swapping of wigs! I was looking at some custom wigs on eBay and they are lush but...lots of money! Same on Etsy, although when I get the rest of the CaMs I'm going to have to invest in pretty wigs as the MH do my head in as it seems you can see the plastic on all of them unless you're super-careful.

Does anyone know if any of the double-torso CaM sets are coming to the UK? I don't know if I should wait for them to come out here or just get singles and buy extra torsos.

I wish the original wig for the Ghost CAM was as good as the promo pic is.. I love the colors... but it's so short and thin. I just wanna toss it across the room. Mattel is amazing at getting my money and filling the void Hasbro left, lmao.

I love the CAM wigs.  Most people complain about them (I've done my fair share when it came to the newest Starter sets.) but I can't get enough!  I've got two of each now (except for the newest waves) and I still want more!  I cut down the Skeleton wig while it was on the Sea Monster's head, getting it just right, then put it on the Puma and he totally stole the thing from her!  So once again my Sea Monster is bald:(  It's okay though.  I've been planning on re-rooting the wig caps for the Dragon and most likely the Sea Monster too, but everytime I get a new wig, I end up cutting in down and loving the effect.  I wish I knew how to photograph stuff and upload to the thread, because I'm so proud of Puma Boy's hair!  Almost makes me think I missed my true calling.......

My 3 year old sister apparently loves MH too, haha. She was in my room a few minutes ago and saw Lagoona. She recognized her and wanted to give her a kiss because she's so pretty. I nearly melted from the cuteness, really, she was so sweet! She played with Roux, Rochelle and a few ponies too.

I'm thinking of pre-ordering Scarah Screams, does anyone know if she comes with a dairy? I'm really to curious to everything about her.

Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: Icicle on July 03, 2012, 01:17:19 PM
Mine seems a tad small but once I twisted and fussed with it and the hair a bit it looks to be okay. To be honest it looked/fit a bit better on the Ghost head for some reason. Maybe it's my lack of sleep/over heatedness playing tricks on my eyes.
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: aellos on July 03, 2012, 01:18:14 PM
Yeah, same, it's just sits on the top of the head and the bangs don't even come close to where a natural hairline should be. DX

I don't have this issue at all with the Witch/Werecat wig, though it was unevenly cut. But at least I could fix that easily.

And my Wolf/Dragon CAM wig was alright if I positioned the hair correctly.

You could look for the Day at the Maul fashion pack instead then. It comes with embellished versions of the killer style outfits (eg Lala's black tights have a row of red bows at the front ~ I am a bit disappointed with mine, though, because the bows want to be on the inside of the Dolly's legs instead of st the front).

The dolls, iirc, are just the Gloom Beach dolls with different outfits.

I had some trouble with the new Vampire wig too, come to think of it.  I just thought it was because of the new head (hard cap)?  Maybe it is the wig.  Hmmmmm......
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: aellos on July 03, 2012, 01:33:28 PM
Yeah, it's definately the wig. All of my CAMs have the hard head, and that one is the only one that doesn't fit. It's actually the size of the wig doing it too. DX

I know right? It was absolutely adorable. I showed her a few webisodes because she has liked every doll I brought home so far. She saw the ones with Abbey, she proudly said to me; ''She has pretty hair! I want to buy her!''. She seems to really like Toralei and the werecat twins too. Heck, she likes almost all of them, haha, her reactions are seriously the cutest thing ever.

Oh I see! Thanks for awnsering anyway. I hope she does have one though, that would get pretty interesting!

The size of the wig itself or the wig peg?

Someone mentioned earlier about experimenting with re-hairing their CAM head and mentioned this idea which I think I'm gonna try. The hard part on my ghost girl pretty much wasnt glued in at all so it just comes right off, and I HATE the wig she comes with. So the idea is to take the wig, remove all the hair, and use the remaining soft plastic as a replacement for the hard CAM part. It would already be rooted too, just need to cut it to shape and glue it in :) I think this would probably work really nicely and you could get 2-3 replacement sections out of one wig if you cut carefully.

There's gotta be some other soft rubbery thing you could replace it with. maybe i'll wander around walmart/hobby lobby and see what I come up with. Other possibilities: mutilate the head of a baby doll, or *dare I even say it* use part of the butt of a bait pony as the vinyl is similar.

Oh!  I forgot to tell you guys (got all caught up in CAM stuff :lol:) I received a Clawdeen/Howleen set in the mail today:)  Now you don't have to listen to me go on and on about how I can't find them.  Someone here had a set up for sale near retail and I jumped on it.  I was feeling mental pressure to cave and spend way too much on them.  I think I might have to take a little break (yeah, right) on the MH spending, though.  Everytime I ask my husband to pay for a new doll, I get a tired sigh, or roll of the eyes.  I wish he was a tad more understanding..........

Yep Lilithas wig is a complete nightmare. It will go on but it keeps popping off if you knock it. Then you have to pull the front right down so you can't see the cap underneath then it pops off again...even with double sided tape it's a nightmare. I ran it under hot water and it helped a bit though.

I think I'm most in love with the CAM's of all the Monster High dolls I own. It was so much fun picking out clothes and accessories for each one... and coming up with my own names for them all too! Some of them I didn't like at all at first... but then as I developed their personalities they really grew on me. Draculiam, for instance (my CAM vampire boy) - at first I thought he was too feminine, but once I gave him the right accessories he started looking like quite the rebel bad boy! :)

This may be a common sense sorta comment, (but I didn't know, so I'll pass it along) start combing the hair out from the ends and slowly work your way up to the scalp.  It untangles the hair without it fro-ing out on you:)

That's cool. I honestly don't know what to do with my vampire boy. The gargoyle boy has such a gentle face and I've already got lots of ideas for him. I've made him Scottish. But the vampire boy is a total blank slate. I have no ideas for him at all. I've been wondering if maybe I should just sell him.

Honestly I don't think they've been in stock/for sale at all at this point, Target is just putting them on its website like all the others do so it'll be there when they are in stock

Was up all night painting and what not. Just finished taking some pix, and the heat in my apartment didnt help the paint on them at all since I've noticed from posting I'll have to repaint some areas that melted and pealed ARG! Besides That they are looking pretty good minus the minor touch up and detail work. Still need an Idea for Bandanna's since my Ribbon Idea and Fleece Idea bit the dust and didn't work. So back to the drawing board on that one. I love how RM Frankie's Dress turned out after an alteration. My OC Sunnie Bunny Looks so Cute wearing it even with her tutu over top its so cute!
OMG!!! THEY'RE SO COOL!!!

I would totally walk you through shipping internationally, I had to have someone do that for me the first time I wanted to  ^.^ It's just the customs forms are scary (shipping anxiety, lol I totally have it too) but it isn't so bad especially if you fill them out at home when you're not pressured. PM me if you wanna discuss? :)

Yeah, considering the Howleen unavailability debacle... Target seems to do a rotten job with their exclusives! Fingers crossed Scary Tales will be better! Could hardly be worse XD

It is quite big. It's in scale with 12" dolls after all. It folds up quite flat, from what I understand. I imagine it'll go for around $150 if we ever get it down here.

Hahaha, just like TRU. Something sells out? UP THE PRICE BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT IT! It originally was up for 89.99, and sold out almost immediately. They do this so much it's awful... a while back they had their exclusive Masterpiece Grimlock transformers toy up early for $39.99... it sold out. Went back in stock at $49.99... sold out went back in at $59.99... same thing and ending up steadily costing $69.99 by the time it was actually in stores. And this was in the span of just a few weeks!

Oh wow, the price of that playset. Thankfully I don't collect stuff like that.... x^x
You know, even if it is somewhat large, the price is still not justified.. it's just plastic and not even a 'real' dollhouse since it folds up. Actually reminds me of all those cheap, flat G4-Pony-Playsets Hasbro does.. even tho with this one at least the execution and paintjob looks decent. :|

The scary tales dolls.. I only like Clawdeen I guess. The idea behind it is cute and I like that red coat. I don't have a Clawdeen yet, but after seeing tuneful's pics, I think I rather want a GR nude one now and carefully wipe all that extra stuff off her face. xD (since that outfit and paint details are.. hm.. not so pretty IMO. xD ..but the hair.. THE HAIR! *v*)

I have seen that playset at a TRU by me for two weeks now. I think the price is maybe making people lose their interest. I looked at the box real good and no offense to people who are interested in it, but I could never justify spending $90+ (with tax) on a playset. I guess I didn't really find it that worth it for the price.This is coming from someone who isn't big on furniture playset stuff to begin with though..

I have a question for all of you:)  Have any of you seen the lifesize Gloom Beach sunglasses lately?  I saw them once at Walmart, and kinda wish I had bought them.  Haven't seen them since, plus I can't seem to find them online either:(  They were hanging on a "clip strip" off an endcap, not in the regular MH section.  I was just wondering how easy they would be to find, if I could afford, them later ;)

i saw them at walmart on saturday...the whole isle was a mess, but they were in there with all the 1600 Clawdeens that no one seems to want XD

And 1600 Clawdeen is soooo gorgeous, too. One of the best Clawdeens in my opinion. Once you get her out of those clothes, that is.

That's how I feel about the school playset too. I've ran into it several times now at my local TRU and I feel it's just too much for what it is for me to justify purchasing it. If it goes on sale eventually I may cave though. I think it would be cute for staging photographs and I do like that it folds up for easy storage.

First, I cannot take credit for that Werecat Target link.  That was all Mandy:)  See deserves all the credit.  She posted it a couple MH Discussion Threads ago, and I had been checking it daily to find the Werecat sisters (not that it did me any good.  Had to buy off a helpful arena member.  Stoopid Target!)  Thought the rest of might need it too. 


Second, thanks for all the replys to my Gloom Beach sunglasses question.  To answer someone else's question (sorry too many pages back to remember who :blush:) they are replicas of the Gloom Beach girls sunglasses.  I think they are probably child size actually.  Can I ask anyone who still has excess to them, to do a price check so I can see if I can afford all 5.  Also if it's not too much trouble, to check and see if they have all 5?  If I can't have all 5 then I'll pass.  I'm an all or nothing kinda gal:)  Not a good flaw to have when it comes to this line.


SunnieBunny:  The turtles are turning out great!  I'm getting the itch to do a crossover of my own.  Something "Kingdom Hearts" related, I think. You should make a costume for your OC to cosplay as April O'Neil :lol:

First, I cannot take credit for that Werecat Target link.  That was all Mandy:)  See deserves all the credit.  She posted it a couple MH Discussion Threads ago, and I had been checking it daily to find the Werecat sisters (not that it did me any good.  Had to buy off a helpful arena member.  Stoopid Target!)  Thought the rest of might need it too.

My apologizes, then! I had seen you post it more than once... and my memory isn't amazing given my current circumstances (not to mention how fast these threads move!). Welp, all credit is given.

Well it was a couple hundred pages ago :lol:  I'm sure Mandy isn't one to get upset about credit, but I couldn't NOT say anything.  Actually, the only reason I kept posting it was I couldn't figure out how to get the darn thing to work!  I'd bookmark it, but it would expire or something????  I'd just put it somewhere in the thread so I could just click the link.  (If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm not very bright when it comes to the internets :lol:)  So I guess I should be thanking you, Icicle, for explaining how to USE it :P

I haven't been watching this thread so I apologize if this has been stated before, but I suspect that Mattel is going to drop Cleo as one of the main six girls and replace her with someone else (or perhaps a couple other girls) like Rochelle and Abbey.  Out of all the new lines of dolls, (Sweet 1600, Ghouls Rule, Skull Shores, Roller Maze, Dead Tired 2, Dot Dead Gorgeous, and Scaris/Travel) Cleo is only in two:  Ghouls Rule and Skull Shores as an exclusive.  They're really cutting down her releases lately.  Also, the fact that Deuce Gorgon is in the Scaris line and Cleo isn't is highly suspect to me.  I wonder if they'll make Cleo move away and pair Rochelle with Deuce.

I can't remember where but they made some allusion to this. Saying Cleo was moving or "going on a trip". More like a trip to the reject pile XD She's not my favorite so I wouldn't miss her much.

That may have been my fault, Rhini.  I posted a link to a "screencap" of what looked like something from the MH website.  It said something like someone was leaving and making way for someone new.  Some of the comments speculated that Cleo was leaving.  People here on the arena said it was actually from a fanfic.  So I'm sure there's nothing to worry about:)  Cleo is here to stay!

Damn it, I KNEW Ghouls Rule would show up at retail on Amazon the ONE day I couldn't get Internet OR 3G! My house was one of those whose power got knocked out by that large storm last week. We were at my sister's in NC for the weekend, then drove back and had to stay in a hotel. We just got our power back a couple of hours ago. ARGH I missed GR Lala AGAIN! I may just order the wings off eBay at this point. I just want those and the collar, maybe the shoes and tights.

I ordered myself a $12.29 RM Frankie as a consolation prize. I LOVE her hair!

Also, the swedish toy store Lekia had lots of MH two weeks ago. They had Operetta,Nefara, Toralei and schools out Cleo. I didn't buy anyone then but I was really looking at Cleo. I went back there today, and thought I should buy Cleo if I saw her there. Well when I got there I noticed there were only one lonely Operetta in the shelf..
Sweden! Why you never restock!!!

Second, thanks for all the replys to my Gloom Beach sunglasses question.  To answer someone else's question (sorry too many pages back to remember who :blush:) they are replicas of the Gloom Beach girls sunglasses.  I think they are probably child size actually.  Can I ask anyone who still has excess to them, to do a price check so I can see if I can afford all 5.  Also if it's not too much trouble, to check and see if they have all 5?  If I can't have all 5 then I'll pass.  I'm an all or nothing kinda gal:)  Not a good flaw to have when it comes to this line.


SunnieBunny:  The turtles are turning out great!  I'm getting the itch to do a crossover of my own.  Something "Kingdom Hearts" related, I think. You should make a costume for your OC to cosplay as April O'Neil :lol:

Next time I check out walmart, I could probably check for you and get a price check then post it back here.

This, pretty much. However, it would be really awesome to see someone else in black and white... Frankie's hair was already greyscale, so it would be cool to see someone who usually has colorful hair in black and white.

They tend to focus on Frankie, Lala and Clawdeen a lot in the webisodes and cartoons, but Cleo and Lagoona are sort of minor characters comparatively. I wouldn't be surprised if after Venus and Robecca and the new Scaris girls get released, we start seeing less of Abbey and Operetta too. :c

Aw the Skull Shores 5-pack girls are really cute!  ^.^ I'm not going to try to get them because there's other exclusives that'll be hard for me to get that I want more (Scary Tales :D) but it's awesome that they're starting to show up.

I wonder when the DDG 3-pack will show up at Walmart? I still haven't found the regular DDG yet  >_< But it's the 3-pack I'm really excited for...

aellos your CAMs are adorable! So sweet :heart:

Oh, mega-congrats on your find Kafrizzle! :) I love Cleo and Clawdeen. If it wouldn't be too much trouble, would you be able to take a picture of Cleo's shoes? I've been curious of what they look like.
Sure thing.

Would you be able to take a pic of Cleo and Clawdeen without the wraps? I'm curious what their actual bathing suits look like.

Wow those shoes on Cleo are amazing   :shocked:

I noticed a while ago how Cleo (and Lagoona a bit) are getting a bit behind on releases, is so sad.

She is actually the only of the main dolls wish I don't own any release, I hope to get the ghouls rule one.

You made very good points, it took me a while to get a Lagoona.

It would be sad too see Operetta and Abbey get behind too, but I guess their hype from last year is almost gone, .. sigh .

However, it would be really awesome to see someone else in black and white... Frankie's hair was already greyscale, so it would be cool to see someone who usually has colorful hair in black and white.

What? I'm totally not working on a custom like that. Nope. Not at all. *hides grey hair*

Because she;s the unofficial main character. Like Barbie or Jem or Dee. The line is designed to be a bit of a ensemble, but Frankie is definitely the "star".
Right. Makes sense, I suppose. Still, I wish the b&w SS Frankie had been some kind of exclusive instead of the general release. I would much rather have her in color as I really have no interest in owning a b&w doll. I only bought her because I like her hairdo the best out of all the Frankies and also because she was only $4.13 on Amazon at the time. I really hope someone can help me get a color one to replace the b&w one with as there is about zero chance that 5-pack will ever get released here.

If you had no interest in getting her THEN WHY DID YOU GET HER? What is the point of buying a doll then complaining about how you did not want her in the first place, but if said version of her had been an exclusive you would have been all, "Omg!  I totally needz u!!!!!!11!!one"

I just....WHAT? That...honestly makes zero sense to me, like,  at all.

He could have gotten the same haircut with the colored version, which is obviously the one he wanted. I am sorry, but buying a doll then complaining about how you 1) didn't really want them in the first place and 2) would have bought said doll without complaint if it were an exclusive is extremely stupid. I mean....there are just no words.

The coloured version was only just released in the States though, and only as an exclusive in a 5-pack of dolls. O:

Ah yes. This is the internet. For a second there, I forgot. Thanks for reminding me.  :sleepy:

Two things:

1) When I bought her, I did not know there was going to be a color version. I thought the b&w one was my only option. If I had known, I would not have bought it. Unfortunately for me, I didn't find out that there was going to be a full color one (and another bloody exclusive at that) until after I'd bought the b&w one.

2) If she had been an exclusive, I would not have bought her without complaint. In fact, I would not have bought her at all. I hate the whole exclusives thing with a passion.

What I meant was, why couldn't the color one have been the general release available to everybody and the b&w one an exclusive that only the hardcore collectors would want (like the original b&w signature Frankie was)? Why does the color one have to be the hard-to-get exclusive?!  :shakefist:
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: NoDivision on July 04, 2012, 10:06:15 PM
*shrug* The B&W was a promo item. We knew that from the start, she was always marked as such. So she's a novelty, and was sold at a cheap price (most places, TRU doesn't count.) She was never really sold or labeled the same as the other skull shores singles, so I never thought of her as a normal release. I always kind of assumed that another one would come along with another wave in some way.

At least it's not like the color Frankie is the only exclusive with the Skull Shores Line. If you get the 5 pack, you get THREE new dolls, unlike most of the other multipacks where you'd get 2-4 re-releases and one new one. Much better deal this time around, at least.

That wasn't clear to me. She was, along with Nefera, the first MH doll I ever bought, and I didn't know much about them at the time.

Perhaps. None of the other SS girls appeal to me, though, so you can see how annoying it is for me since all I want is the color Frankie and the only way to get her is to buy an expensive 5-pack with four other dolls I don't want. I really hate how Mattel keeps doing this sort of thing.

Yeah, all the TRU shelf labels for SS frankie are labeled as friday the 13th, so I think they really should play with that more!

And Puku, it's a shame you didn't know that at the time, and I can understand your disappointment, but I don't think there's any need to get all up in arms and angry about it just because you didn't know. It's not like mattel was purposefully trying to pull a fast one on you and scam you out of your $5. They were very clear from the beginning that she was a special promotional doll, so there's no point getting mad and blaming them because you didn't realize that. She was not released as a normal doll - even if you weren't following MH news at the time, the fact that she was the only black and white doll released in regular stores and was sold for under $5 when the cheapest the other dolls got was only $12 kind of screams "special item."

As far as the exclusives go - well sure, it is frustrating. I've had to buy several multipacks just to get the ghoulias in them, and then I'm left with extra dolls that I had no use for. A lot of people have had to do the same to get the one doll they want. Sure it's annoying, but going on and on about it doesn't do anyone any good.

Good lord!  Can people whine a little without getting jumped on?  I saw nothing wrong with what Puku said, sometimes it's just nice to complain about silly stuff that we know isn't that big a deal.  I've been ranting to my boyfriend all week about 4th of July slowing down the shipping on my Lala, even though I know it's nothing that really deserves complaining about XD

It's not really anybody else's place to get upset over people buying things they later regret, anyway

This.  100%.

To each their own. I'm just saying I understand people's annoyance.

And I was just trying to shed some silver lining on the exclusive issue. One of the nice things about there being 3 exclusive dolls in that pack is it will be MUCH easier to split. When there was just one exclusive in a 5 pack, well, obviously everyone buying it wanted it for that one doll so it was harder to get. But if there are multiples, I'm sure there are lots of people who only want Clawdeen or only want Cleo, so I am betting everyone will find it easier to get the dolls they want with this pack than with pervious ones :)

I just did Moon (werewolf CaM) ears - marked up inbetween hairlines where I wanted the ear post to go, then made a hole with a corn-cob holder, snipped the 'clip' part of the ear off, pushed the peg through the hole then popped the clip on the underside of the wig. Looks sooooooooooooo much better now! Just be careful when you're making the hole not to split the plastic next to a hair hole.

I got her used from someone in the UK. I don't hate the specific dolls that are exclusive. I just hate the fact that they are exclusive to a specific store in the first place.

Exactly! Thank you. Unlike some other countries, we don't have Target or Toys R Us in this country. Occasionally we might get an exclusive product from overseas in one of the local chains, but there's no guarantee and it'll most likely be six months to a year later than everyone else.

I'm sorry if I've given people the impression that this is all I talk about. I think you'll find, however, that the vast majority of my 490 posts on these forums are not full of complaints about this one subject, nor about any other subject. I have to say, I'm starting to feel a bit unwelcome here ...  :bawl:

I'm super worried about exclusives too! With every new line now an exclusive to a store we don't have access to in the UK, except TRU, you can bet we'll miss out on some releases. Also, B&W Frankie was not super-marked-down overseas, I had to pay £13 for mine ($20). Collectors outside the US really do have it rough, and I can't rely on Arena member's kindness for that many new dolls :)

Pukunui, I'll keep you in mind for the TRU exclusives when I next visit my local one :D x
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: Icicle on July 05, 2012, 04:10:51 AM
I never saw B/W Frankie marked down... and I only ever saw one ONCE at a Walmart, normal price as the others (wasn't into MH then). Then I saw ONE at TRU after I got into it, but she was already remarked up to the nearly 18 bucks. I probably won't ever see the color SS Frankie (or any exclusives for that matter) because I can't get to Target, ever. And when I do the aisle is pitifully filled with good old dress up clothing e.e;

"Your order has been shipped via Fedex and should arrive between Monday, 07/09/2012 and Thursday, 07/12/2012." OH THANK GOD DRACULAURA SHIPPED FEDEX. Shouldn't have to worry about anything but Mattel QC.

The Scary Tales dolls are exclusive to Target. Maybe those are the ones you're thinking about   :P

Oh right. XP Too many lines being released I forgotten which is which!! See?! This is too confusing with so many releases for everyone to keep track of what's what! *Shakes fist a Mattel*

Yep, I keep getting confused too XD I don't care about exlcusives though as all the stores are near by my except TRU which is an hour away, but I do occasionally visit if I'm desperate! XD

4 new dolls today in the mail! Yayyy!

On another note... I'm not looking forward to the pain of trying to get the exclusive dolls. There's no KMart, Costco, or JCPenney around here, and my Target never has anything. TRU is kinda hit or miss. The only one I can count on is Walmart, and that's just because I work there.  :huh:

Hehe, I'm doing alright keeping them straight. I'm more familiar with what MH releases are coming up than I am with MLP now  :lol:

I'm not terribly excited about hunting for exclusives either, though I'll probably be making little girly squeals if I find something in a store XD

Still only following the Signature dolls^^ *Very proud of herself* so I don't tend to get distracted with the other lines (most of the time). But today I woke up from a dream that I found both Robecca and Venus in a restocked shelf. =_=; I grabbed them both and when I reached for my wallet, it was empty, like in real life...even my dreams won't cut me any slack...

Awww what a bummer dream, Melody! :(

I picked up all 4 of the Ghouls Rule girls yesterday and snagged a Dot Dead Gorgeous Operetta at my local TRU. Originally, I had thought that Frankie was my favorite from the GR line... but I have to say, Cleo stole my heart! I think she's just gorgeous with the way they did her hair and makeup. I also LOVE her shoes, they are so tall! I am happy I picked them all up though... normally, I strip dolls so I can keep their clothes and then sell them nude but I think I'll be keeping all of the GR line for sure. My shelf is getting way too packed though! Time to weed some more out...

Apparently I got my little (three year old) sister to really, and I mean really like Monster High!
She keeps asking me if she may have Abbey (she really likes her).

I'm not so sure what I should get her. I have this feeling she'll break her Abbey in some way or another, but she always does seem te be quite carefull with my dolls.. Is there a less expensive version Abbey?

What do you guys think would be my best option considering it's a gift for my little sis? :unsure:
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: jupiternwndrlnd on July 05, 2012, 11:03:47 AM

maybe SS Abbey?? and the plush version is always an option ^_^
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: LuvlyMelody on July 05, 2012, 11:05:38 AM
Ooo yes, I'd say the plush Abbey would be ideal for her! Then she can carry her around with her wherever she goes!

Yeah I agree! She keeps talking about the characters of Monster High and how much she likes them. A few days ago she gave my wave 1 Lagoona doll a kiss because she thought she was so sweet/pretty. It was adorable!

I haven't seen SS Abbey yet over here sadly, but that's a good idea!
Also, I was actually looking at the plush today! I saw her in stores, I wanted to buy her for my sister. Another shop was selling them for 10 euro's less, they didn't have Abbey there sadly. :c

Ooo yes, I'd say the plush Abbey would be ideal for her! Then she can carry her around with her wherever she goes!

The vision I have in my mind right now is too. cute. for. words! I feel like I really should get her the plushie now.

Thanks guys!

okay so I think I'm lost...I thought the SS five pack was a target exclusive.... and has anyone spotted venus yet? I was under the impression they kept pushing back her release date...

also, has anyone seen the dead tired girls in store? I keep trying to luck out and grab abbey on amazon, but I haven't been successful yet.

Seriously, I stopped taking chances with MH and grab it!! If I see a signature doll, I get them when I first see them in-store!! Unless there's an obvious flaw(s). But being broke, sometimes I ended up leaving some behind never to see them again...TT,TT;

As for the new DT Dolls, I've seen them at Fred Meyers along with the new RM ghouls.

Same here! I learned my lesson when I skipped out on Dawn of the Dance Deuce when I first saw him... never saw him again and ended up having to buy him online. I was worried the same was going to happen with the Sweet 1600 dolls, but look at how plentiful they are now. I see them everywhere now but back around the beginning of the year I had the worst time finding them. I guess you never know which will sell out and stay gone and which will sell out and be restocked. They've caused buyers to panic and snatch them all up at one go! Brilliant! LOL

Basically what happened to me with Abbey last year. When wave 2 was going around only saw Abbey about twice. 1 time the box was crushed, the 2nd time, I didn't have the money so for the longest time I was so sad that I'd have to go online and pay over the top for her, but she was released again in the previous wave and when I first saw her I was like "Risk it again?? Eff that NO!! *Grabs box and rushes to checkout*" Once Venus and Robecca comes out, I'll have to be prepared for in case I see them!!

The SS 5 pack is a Target exclusive, so you're not lost on that one. As for Venus, she and Robecca should be showing up soon.

Just got back from a mini-hunt. Target had the same 5 1600 dolls that they had last week, and TRU had one 1600 doll and that's it. TRU had some inventory slips up on the shelves though, so maybe they're waiting to do that before getting new stuff in?

Actually got to head to my Target today. Had an entire row of a 5-Pack.... the Gloom Beach one :<! I was amused they actually had stuff on the shelf (including new CAM packs).. and snagged myself Operetta's fashion pack (FINALLY SHE CAN HAVE HER OWN SHOES). So that's nice <3

Just been to my local supermarket and they had :
1 Operetta
3 Signature Abbys
2 Rochelles.
And just about every fashion pack in existence!

I'm so glad I snagged my Jackson from there and Rochelle at the time they first released him, that supermarket haven't had him back in stock since, I reckon he was a one off since I go there every week and check for new dolls and ponies. o.O

How!  Had to catch up on 10+ pages.  Here we go:

-I didn't get a response to my "Does the SS 5 come with stands?" question:(  I know it's easy to miss stuff on a fast moving thread like this, but I kinda HAVE to know:)  You can call me 'Stand Stalker" :lol:  Can anyone confirm?  Stands?  No stands?

-Of course a week after I buy Clawdeen/Howleen, they become available online.  Of course.  I'm not upset or anything.  I actually find it pretty funny. 


Though I'll have to ask the Michiganders to forgive me for hoping they don't show up there for another two weeks or so, so I can get them myself instead of having my bf pick them up  :lol:

Knowing Michigan, you have all the time in the world:)  Plenty of delay here!

-LuvlyMelody  I would love a price check on those Gloom Beach sunglasses!  Please Please Please don't forget about me!  If anyone else knows where/how to find them (the lifesize ones) let me know.  I've searched online, but it's hard to tell if they are the doll sized ones or the people sized ones :huh:  Also the only one I could find was on Amazon for $20 and they only had Lala's :cry:

... but I don't like taking chances with Monster High anymore!

Yup.  I bought the first Rochelle I saw knowing full well I was unhappy with her hair.  Not enough blue/green.  You never know!  Mattel has taught me to spend, spend, spend!  So now I'm on the hunt for another Rochelle.  Don't know what I'd do without all of you helping me to get all the dolls I 'missed' (by not buying them as soon as I saw them.)

We really need a 'rolling eyes' smiley:)

Jupi - I bought my first one nude, and I'll probably wait until the prices come down to buy another nude one! I don't see her being as popular as a lot of the other dolls, so it's only a matter of time before a ton of her are piling up (like poor 1600 Clawdeen, who is in reality an absolute goddess!!!)

Grzan: How does your hubby feel about your collection? I live alone, but my parents, brother, and friends are totally cool with it.

As for Clawdeen are you a big fan of hers as well? Honestly, I avoided her like leprosy when I first started collecting MH. Now she is my favorite! I'm too afraid of ruining 1600 Clawdeen's hair, too, so I haven't styled it like I usually do. I really must photograph her more. She is soooo pretty.
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: justkitter on July 05, 2012, 06:40:47 PM
My husband hates my dolls.  In my defense, I only collect MH, whereas other people collect two or three brands.  In his defense, I'm a completetionist.  The girls are taking over our living room, and our *his* income:)  I'm trying to remodel a spare bedroom to move them into, but it's slow going :huh:

When MH was first released, Clawdeen was the one I was least excited about.  Then I opened her box, and I couldn't stop petting her:)  Her hair is so thick.  Love.  And those ears.  Then they started releasing her with different colored hair!  It makes her so exciting because you never know what she'll be like the time she gets a release.

My first 1600 is in stock, with stock hair.  My second was a gift and I had ideas rolling around in my head for her, so instead of returning her I gave her braided hair and threw her in her newest fashion pack:)  I want a third 'cuz someone said awhile back she would look good rehaired in blonde, and now I have to do that!!!!!  Gold shadow, blonde hair. 

I try not to pick favorites, I love them all, but I voted for her alot during your ANTM, so I guess that says alot :lol:
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: aellos on July 05, 2012, 06:42:34 PM
Don't worry, my fiancee hates them too. But he tolerates them enough at least. He doesn't mind me buying them as long as I'm smart about it. So I get one doll at a time spaced out.

EDIT: And I'm not a completionist. I simply want the ones I like. But I AM collecting ponies, and I bought a Pullip once. Not to mention I just now got into La Dee Dahs. DX

grzan: Hates?! Noooo!!!! Hate is such a strong word! I'm sure you can convert him....eventually. All it takes is one doll he fancies! The rest will be history. And I agree that Clawdeen would make a totally hot babe as a blonde. Hmmm....I smell a commission coming on...

There is actually an adorable 1600 on etsy right now with a bob haircut and a repainted face. I'm sorely tempted...
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread

only I would find a TON of new stuff when there's nothing I'm looking for but Abbey....

I found:
Ghouls Rule Cleo and Clawdeen
SS 5 Pack
Tub with Lala
Scooter with Ghoulia
Roller Maze
Fearleading 3 pack (havent seen in ages)
Gloom beach 5 pack (so many of these)
Fashion 3 pack Abbey
Howleen/Clawdeen
And I just want a Dead tired Abbey :(

if anyone needs anything listed though I'd be happy to go back and pick them up for them, but I'd need the money up front.

My husband HATES my MH dolls as well. He finds them really creepy but at least he doesn't mind me buying them as long as its with my own money! When he sees the latest batch I've bought (16 dolls pretty much at once... opps) I think he may not be quite as happy anymore >.>

On the other hand he is perfectly happy to support my MLP habit so its not so bad ^.^

Tuney:  The legs do not come off easily or cleanly:(  The leg peg has barbs that keep it secure in the knee joint.  No amount of pulling will get it out.  You need to cut the rubber knee joint.  I assume you are asking because you are thinking about modding a regular doll into a CAM?  You'll need to drill out the rest of the joint inside the thigh, if that's the case.  I've seen people cut open the legs......but I don't know anything about that.

The heads on CAM's and Regular dolls are all interchangable:)

Yeah, I'd heard it was pretty hard. I was hoping to find a busted up Holt and melding him with the puma boy, but I suppose that isn't a very good ideas after all. I just can't stand the idea of my puma boy with mismatched limbs! I just thought about putting the puma's head on Holt, but then I wouldn't be able to use the tail. It's a no win!

only I would find a TON of new stuff when there's nothing I'm looking for but Abbey....

I found:
Ghouls Rule Cleo and Clawdeen
SS 5 Pack
Tub with Lala
Scooter with Ghoulia
Roller Maze
Fearleading 3 pack (havent seen in ages)
Gloom beach 5 pack (so many of these)
Fashion 3 pack Abbey
Howleen/Clawdeen
And I just want a Dead tired Abbey :(

if anyone needs anything listed though I'd be happy to go back and pick them up for them, but I'd need the money up front.

Can I interest you in a kidney? I need Howleen :lol:

This is one of those few and far between times when I'm really glad I don't have a significant other. No one to question my purchasing choices! But I am afraid the dolls and my ponies will pretty much kill any slim hope I have of not being single forever  :huh:

it'd be much easier to drill a hole for the tail than the mod the rest of the pieces onto holt ... a hole is easy ... the rest ... not so much ... and then i must add "NOT A HOLT! I NNNNEEEEEEEEEEDDDDSSSS HIIIIIIMMMMMM!" *melts onto the desk and whimpers a little* lol

A while ago I told a very wise friend of mine how afraid I was of ending up alone because, come on, what hot guy is going to be into another guy who collects ponies? She said, "You don't need to find someone who will love you IN SPITE of your collecting, but someone who will love you FOR IT!" And that is so, soooo true! Chin up!

KAM: I'm considering my other options. I may buy a custom blue torso. The main issue is the arms and legs. Since the puma boy has white on his face, white arms and thighs could work. So I *could* use the grey gargoyle's pieces. Does anyone know if the grainy stuff comes off with acetone? Or is it actually part of the plastic? I know that Abbey's sparkles come off; not sure about the gargoyles.

That's so funny, I've said that exact thing myself. Here's to hoping!

In other news I caved and got fashion Abbey today. She's my most favorite Abbey so far, though I am really looking forward to DT. I love that her leg warmers are real fabric and not rubber.

... wiser words can NEVER be spoken ;) :)

and i'm not sure if the the speckles would come off or not ... i don't want to try on my garboyle cause i loves him so ... but it seems like they're more IN the plastic than on it ... *licks her thumb and rubs a little on the bottom of his foot ...* i guess if you found like a baity holt i could let it pass ;) lmao

I started collecting MH after I got married.  I'm sure if I were this crazy before we got hitched, he would have ran for the hills :lol:  His mother totally loves MH though.  I always take my newest finds over to show them to her.  And his side of the family (my only family really) give me cash for my birthday and Christmas with the expectations of seeing whatever I'm able to find (they all kinda gave up shopping when that MH drought hit awhile back.)

Tuney:  Save yourself some trouble and headache and take my advice.  Spend the $20 on Boy Starter Pack.  I hate the mismatches too, but.....it's really not worth it.  I split my second starter with Aellos.  She wanted the Gargoyle so I used the Vamp to finish the Puma.  I handmade a white three quarter length tee shirt to cover the upper arms and go under the tank top he comes with.  The shorts he comes with covers the upper legs.  The only exposed skin he has left is his neck.  Plus it has the tail hole.  He looks good. 

Although, my dolls just stand around in their stock all day long.  They don't get to go on fabulous photoshoots, pose semi-nude, or play dress-up, like yours, so I guess my 'fix' probably wouldn't help you.

I'm thinking about modding a Cupid into the Ghost Girl and everytime the thought crosses my mind, I want to cry.  I've done this (wow, only) twice (it FEELS like I've done it 3 or 4 times) and I hate it.  I might just leave her on my spare Vampire body, but the mismatches!  Oh lord the mismatches!  The dress ties the different colors together nicely though.  *Sigh*  Good luck.

My wife doesn't have a problem with the dolls themselves. She's more concerned about the drain on our finances. I'm not supposed to buy any more until she goes back to work in September (she's on maternity leave).  :(

It was my mother and my sisters who thought I'd gone a bit crazy, but I've since talked to them about it and they don't seem as concerned anymore.

I may have only recently started collecting Monster High dolls, but I've been a collector in general for many years now. I used to given a lot of Legos and Transformers and things when I was a kid, and when I was a teenager in the 90s, I started collecting D&D books. More recently, I was collecting prepainted plastic D&D miniatures and then got into the prepainted plastic Star Wars miniatures as well. When those lines both ended, there was a void that quickly got filled by G4 My Little Ponies after my daughters and I discovered the Friendship is Magic show. I started posting photos of my ponies on Flickr and got exposed to MH dolls and gradually started wanting them myself and now I have 17 or 18. I've lost count ...  :P

My fiance is totally fine with my collecting, so long as I don't get too draining on our money (which is kinda how I got with ponies that I know I can find later XD). But he also collects toys (mostly Japanese import lines) and he understands why I get so rabid over MH. His Kamen Rider figures... if he misses a pre-order for one there's a high chance he'll be paying at a good bit over retail after its release... so when he sees it I'm just like "Get it, you know you won't see it again and he's awesome looking." And in turn he'll be like.... "...you want her. You won't see her again, get her in the cart or I'm putting her in there" I honestly blame him for my toy collecting, HE GOT ME HOOKED /shakes fist because I know he's looking over my shoulder right now.

They're not exclusives, so I imagine Walmart will get them at some point.

Rhini I think you and I may be twins  :biggrin: I like not having to account for purchases to someone but I worry all the time about how forever-alone I must seem with my bookshelves covered in ponies and plushies and dolls... But Tuneful, that is very wise friend you have indeed. Going to try to remember that! Chin up, buck up, we're all cool, group hug! :hug: lol

I didn't find anything new on my MH hunt today. Hoping we won't be too crazy far behind on the newest releases but there's no sign of I <3 Fashion, Ghouls Rule, or new DT yet. Saw a shelf label at Walmart for DDG, though! That is promising.

Not to derail from monsters entirely but I did find the Winx Club Believix dolls at TRU! I got Musa and Flora, they're my favourites. They're all really pretty, but I try to limit my non-Disney/non-MH doll collections to just a couple from each line, heh.

I just popped up for a second because I forgot to ask a question. Can anyone with the Ghouls Rule dolls confirm for me that they all have black tinsel except for Clawdeen who doesn't have any tinsel at all? I'd especially like to see some close ups of the hair.

Quick question of my own: do the Roller Maze girls all have the new plastic hip joints? Or are they a mix of plastic and elastic? I'm really hoping the RM Frankie that just got delivered to my parents' house has the new hips, as they are sooooo much better!

I just got my MIB Abbey and, well, her lipstick have smudged inside the package. So there is a blank spot on her lip and lipstick over the plastic ... I don't now if it was like this when the seller sold her to me , I should ask her about it.

Though i don't know how I should do. Should I try to paint the lips?

....that must be a thing with Abbey's... because my local Walmart had one (maybe two... I dunno if it was the same one) that looked almost exactly the same in package. If you think you can fix the paint I'd say do it?

The seller was from the arena, and she had all positive MH trades and sells. Do you think it could've been caused by the shipping?

Well.. I probably can't get the perfect shade she has... Thinking I might be able to repaint it with nail polish (I've heard some people using nail polish for lips)
