Just snagged the CAM witch/cat pack :D I love them! I was going to sell the cat, but I think I can't do it!! These gals are just so addictive. I may trade their dresses away. I hate the clothes they come with (except the shoes!!)

In case any Portland,OR area people are interested, the TRU in Clackamas had Spectra, Lagoona and Cupid Dot Dead Gorgeous, and multiple packs of the TRU exclusive Abbey and Frankie with the three outfits.

Ugh, are the new Dead Tired girls ever going to make it to big stores? Why why whyyy didn't I buy them off Amazon  :cloud:

I may try to go to kroger, but it's an hour away :( So much gas wasted if they're not there.

-rolls into thread-

I got my voucher from Mattel today.. and might be heading to Walmart some time next week.. so here's hoping Venus or Robecca are waiting for me... last time I was there.. there was really nothing on the shelves other than a few Jackson and CAM starter sets (just sea monster/vamp, and the single torsos at that) ;o;

Whoever on the last page was looking for Mad Science Lagoona? If you haven't checked your local Books a Million lately, try that.  Ours had Mad Science Lagoona and Physical Dead Ghoulia last week.

Weren't the DT2 dolls online/Kmart exclusives originally?  I mean, I realize that isn't the case, but maybe they are small chain exclusives, not available to the bigger stores.  Sorta like the Killer Style dolls.  I never saw those outside of Mejier, and Kohls.  Maybe DT2 is just like that?  I bought mine at Kroger.  As of right now, Kroger can't re-order them:(  It's sort of a one-time-buy thing.  I suggest calling ahead.  If they ever become available for re-order, I'll let you all know.  I think our best bet for the new DT dolls is to look somewhere we wouldn't expect them to be.  CVS, Walgreens, Kohls, Grocery stores, etc........

Hi new thread!!  On a whim I went by TRU today to see what was in, and I snagged Ghoulia with her scooter!  They also had the I <3 Fashion girls, the Coffin Bean, Rochelles all OVER the place, CAM sets...basically they got stock today and somebody picked all the Venus/Robecca goodness out and left everything else.  I have a feeling the one scooter that was left was not left for me, since it was hidden a few feet down from the MH stuff, behind the Justin Bieber dolls XD  I figure someone hid it there to come back for later, but they should have done a better job, lol!
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: Rococo on July 20, 2012, 04:35:51 PM
The TRU I went to had a lot of Rochelles... I think maybe 5? I would have picked one up with good eye placement but she had a badly placed black fleck right in the center of her chin hehe.

*Singing* New thread new thread

My TRU only had 1600s, the SS dolls, and a couple of bunkbeds. WalMart restocked last night with..... more 1600s. We are drowning in 1600s!

Where [stores and parts of the country] have Venus and Robecca been spotted? Anticipation.....

Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: Rococo on July 20, 2012, 05:11:59 PM
The price of Sweet 1600 dolls at the Burbank TRU was $37.99. Now that is some price-gouging bs right there. No wonder they don't fly off the shelves at the rate all the other dolls do. If anyone near Burbank was still searching for Lagoona's Hydration Station, they had a few left for $39.99 each. They also had a few Roller Maze/Skull Shores dolls, a Nefara, and a sig Operetta.

I (this is tuneful87, by the way!) have a rather funny confession to make. I dressed my gargoyle (Nightmare Nigel) in Deuce's DOTD clothes. So poor Deuce was left rather naked. I put him in shades, a Bratz jacket, and black boots - no pants! It's the most hilarious sight, and I rather like it! Haha!

But I do need to get him some pants soon....

They are all awesome, havent opened them yet but I'm working on it, was at Batman last night and got home super late so they were in the trunk of his car all night...lol!

Found another Monster High Doll at Value Village today a SS Ghoulia she came with everything but her stand, glasses, earings and skirt cover up so not to bad for $1.99 and she came with another Liv doll with a wig. YEAY ME!

Now only if i could find a wave one Lagoona there I'd be extremely happy lol or any wave one doll for that matter.

I actually have seen the wave 2 dead tired dolls!  I spotted them at a gas station.  I was SO confused.  I'm pretty sure it was a Love's gas station in Nebraska.  They were priced at $19.99 each there. x_x

Hum.. from the last pages of the early thread in the latest news of what is coming, it doesn't mention Cleo at all.  >_<

I guess  this feed more the rumors that she is going to get dropped from the main cast?.  :cry:
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: Ravie on July 20, 2012, 08:31:53 PM
Just because she isn't mentioned doesn't mean she's been dropped. 2.0 Lagoona was never mentioned until she just appeared outta nowhere
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: Zombelina on July 20, 2012, 08:32:20 PM
Yeah I hope they don't drop Cleo... she's not a favourite for me (not monstrous enough!) but she's so pretty. :heart:

What weird distribution on DT2... I really hope they'll come to Canada or I'll have to rely on one of you guys again  ^.^ But not this month, already several monsters coming! :hug:

So I just spent way too long reorganizing my doll shelves in preparation for new arrivals. I fought with stiff knees, wonky arms, crappy stands, messy hair and recalcitrant accessories! XD It got me thinking, which doll is everyone's most troublesome? You love her to bits but she is SUCH A PROBLEM?

Mine is DotD Draculaura. One of her cuffs was on backwards so I popped her hand off to fix it aaand it took me ages to gently (or... not so gently) get that hand back on! I thought I was going to either break the peg or leave her handless, but I did it.  >_< And her stand is a nightmare~ I eventually gave up and put her in a spare black one. Ahh! But I still love her dearly... And then there's my beloved Spectra, who has a bad knee and needs very careful handling!

So tell me about your problem monsters? :biggrin:

Weeellllll.... (This is kinda long, so I did a spoiler X3)

Spoiler
I haven't had that many problems, but I have had a few. The worst was when my Sig. Ghoulia's hand wouldn't go back on - and this phase of handlessness lasted an entire YEAR. So it all began on the first day I got her. I was totally new to MH. Sure, I had read the entire MH Discussion thread that was current at the time, and half of the thread before. But I was still learning. And when I found out that you could remove their hands and lower arms, of course I had to try it out for myself. I took her right arm out and was like, "Cool! Now.. let's put it back in!" I gently push it back into place and it wasn't going in. I continued shoving it in but nothing worked! I cried for hours, but still, she had one hand, and one hand only. (Whenever people were like "Why does she have one hand?" I'd say, "Oh, she's based off a zombie. That's totally normal." XD)

One year later, I get back into MH, and remebered... "Oh shoot! I have a zombie without a hand!" and dash into my room, where Ghoulia was lying down, with her hand not so far away from her. I didn't have a clue what to do, so I posted here asking for advice, and everyone suggested to get some steaming hot water and keep the hand in there for a few seconds, and after half of hour of pure determination, hard work, and a poopload of cussing... Her hand was back in place! :D

So... Umm... Yeah. The end. :3

The doll that I love who gives me way too much trouble is my DotD Frankie! Her little poof on top of her head got messy so I tried to retie her hair to make it look like it does in promos, but I can never get it to look perfect! I also have a super floppy sig Clawdeen who's more like a rag doll than a plastic doll, what with her limbs going every which way.

Ohh, hello new thread! Stalking now! :>

Since I only have 5 dolls yet, none has given me any problems so far. *knocks on wood*
When unboxing Abbey and Rochelle tho, I saw small grease stains behind their heads. Hair is fine so far, but I'm watching them. So maybe those two are my 'problem dolls'. ^^

I just saw tons of 1600 Cupid in a regular store, wasn't she supposed to be an exclusive of some sort? :O
Have other people not from the US/UK seen something like that before? Exclusives popping up in a random store?
(here's hope for ST.. LOL)

Also, finally came across a GR Clawdeen in said store, but they're asking €37.99.. NO WAI!!!
Does anybody have a nude one/faulty one for sale? I don't care about clothes nor faceup, I just love her hair and want to repaint one. :>

Spare parts can be ordered for the dolls, though I believe this service is currently only available to the US and Canada at this time. They offer loose black stands for $4.00 and forearms and hands for $3.00. I ordered a few hand set myself last year when Mattel gave Clawdeen's hands a new mold but I remember shipping being a bit steep. They are also shipped directly from the factory, so they unfortunately can't be added onto a regular order.

For some reason they've only ever listed hand sets for the first set of signature dolls (Frankie, Draculaura, Clawdeen, Lagoona, Cleo, Deuce, Ghoulia, and Holt) and their availability seems to go up and down at random on the site.

No Venus or Robecca here yet.... But I did find the SS Five pack at Target :) I didn't think I would like this Clawdeen, but whoa! She's my favorite of the five! And the first doll I've ever had who spontaneously fell apart! Her forearm just fell off! It snapped back in with no problem, but my husband was all "You broke her already!" :)

Oh rayedelsol, would you, by chance, be willing to pick up another one if you ever see her again? :<
I'm currently looking for help obtaining one, as my only other chance is ebay and their prices are CRAZY. (no targets in germany, nor any other store like argos that would make distribution deals with them >_<)
I could pay ASAP, have money set aside just for this girl.. LOL.

But afaik she's not even officially out until the 29th or so?

5 Targets in my area currently have 6 dolls each in stock, but THEY CAN'T FIND THEM! I was so mad last night. I called one store and the girl confirmed that they had them in stock and told me just to let customer service know and they'd pull them for me. Yeah right! When I got there they couldn't find them in the stock room! I have Frankie and Lala on the way, just missing Clawdeen.

I was already scared of, but expecting target to mess it up, since I kind of watched in silence how a lot of people hunted for the werewolf-sisters a while ago.
Back when I found myself so lucky since I was not interested in Howleen at all.. but now  with ST Clawdeen as my new grail, I can understand their despair. °^°;

Got shamed by a nine-year-old at TRU today.

"Aren't you a little old for this?"

"You're never too old to have fun, kid."

...still kind of stung, though. First time actually out of the house and at TRU in months, and this happens? Ugh. My social anxiety was right. I'm gonna stick to ordering everything online from now on.

Besides, they didn't have Ghoulia and the scooter. Just the scooter.

I love your reply:)

Made a discovery today:
To make a a stand for your boy MH dolls push the clamp part of the girl's stands down as far as it will go, then you can clamp it onto one of the boys legs. It's not the greatest but it works!

...wow kids these days. I probably would have had some snarky remark. Which is not good for a 23 year old woman to be telling a nine year old off. Oops. But still, not right, if her mother/father/person who brought her there was around I probably would have said something like "Hm, it seems like your snot nose brat doesn't deserve a toy today" >_____>;

In other news... my voucher is burning a hole in my pocket as it were. I have no clue when I can get to Walmart... and not knowing if Venus and Robecca would be there are not kills me aaaa.

My Little Dead Riding Hood arrived today. So cute, though I'm not terribly fond of the two short clips of hair in front. I just ordering some sparkly red leggings to go along with her skirt. Her red lips are sooo beautiful. Wish they have put even more red in her hair.

AH, SO JELLY! *^*
I demand pics, tuney,... LOTS OF PICS! :heart:

Ditto! I had one in my possession for a few days [purchased for an arena member overseas] and it almost killed me not to open it!!
We demand pictures!

Oh rayedelsol, would you, by chance, be willing to pick up another one if you ever see her again? :<
I'm currently looking for help obtaining one, as my only other chance is ebay and their prices are CRAZY. (no targets in germany, nor any other store like argos that would make distribution deals with them >_<)
I could pay ASAP, have money set aside just for this girl.. LOL.

But afaik she's not even officially out until the 29th or so?
Where do all you guys get her. AAh, the jelly is killing me. xD

5 Targets in my area currently have 6 dolls each in stock, but THEY CAN'T FIND THEM! I was so mad last night. I called one store and the girl confirmed that they had them in stock and told me just to let customer service know and they'd pull them for me. Yeah right! When I got there they couldn't find them in the stock room! I have Frankie and Lala on the way, just missing Clawdeen.

If they appear, I really want Lala and Clawdeen D:

Once at a yard sale buying ponies, I was waiting on the kid to tell me how much she wanted for them, and she asked "Are these for your little girl?"  and I was like "nooo... I don't have kids, they're for me." She looks at me and says "Oh. I used to like ponies too, but then I grew up."  She was like 8. I thought it was hilarious, lol

Ok, I finally figured out what's up with the ST dolls and the Targets in my area. All stores are showing availability and I confirmed that they all have 6 dolls. However, none of the stores can find them. They are not on the floor and they don't have a stock room location. Today I got confirmation that they are holding them until the shelf date of the 29th. I've also been told that they are marked as collectibles in their system. According to the manager I spoke to today, that means the employees are not supposed to help you find them, not bring them out from the stock room. So yeah, they're not making it easy!

Personally every time I see children in the aisle I give them an evil "back away from the toys" glare, because honestly I really really don't want to talk to them. Sometimes it doesn't save me though and they talk to me anyways XD

The only time I really enjoyed talking to one little girl was at goodwill, her and her grandma were grabbing LPS toys and so was I and the grandma noticed. She was like grab faster she's getting them too! (jerk!) and the girl promptly did the opposite and was like omg you like them too!? She was just so excited and talked to me for like an hour about them and we even traded for ones the other wanted :) She guiltily admitted after a time that her dad had told her she was too old for toys (she was like 11 wth?) and I looked at her and said "Well I'm 23, and if I'm not too old you're not either!" which she seemed encouraged by. I think girls especially are pressured to "grow up" and act older at younger and younger ages and it's really sad. They feel the need to then pull others down too.

Anyways back on topic! Gonna go out lookin tonight! Want me some dollehs!

Ah, my apologizes, I read the line of them "not helping" as them not bothering to look in the back for them! Either way, most of my post still stands the same. It's a stupid policy that honestly is doing more harm than good.. at least in my area. Because every single Target employee in toys is too damn busy lounging about and not doing their jobs.

Sooo, I am absolutely dying to get Robecca, Venus and the 5 pack. I am hoping they will come here soon, as everything else has made its way here quickly. I've been doing yard work for my mom so I have doll funds and I have work lined up for next weekend so here's hoping to find something new this week!

And as far as case release dates on dolls, I had one TRU near me tell me they had case release dates at their store and couldn't sell any of then sooner then that. Then another store near me got those same dolls and had them on shelves O.o The Target I got all my ST dolls from didn't say anything about a relase date. They were in the back but the guy went back and got them for me and put them on hold so I could pick them up later :) sooo release dates must be different everywhere, what sense does that make?! Totally different from when I worked retail in electronics and there were street dates that were the same everywhere no possible sooner releases anywhere.

This is terrible, both Targets I went to were SUPER helpful, and even checked whatever assortment they had of random dolls for the elusive two. No luck there, though.

I don't really understand, from Target's point of view. If you were asking for them, you are going to buy them, that is a guaranteed sale. If they make you wait, they aren't guaranteed that money. even if you give them the benefit of the doubt that they are stopping scalpers [which I don't think their motives are so altruistic] wouldn't they want the money? Sorry, just thinking out loud....

Haha my dad says i look like Ghoulia! I have blue hair. Kids tend to stare at me but they've never said anything. A little girl crouched next to me once when i was looking through the dolls on the bottom shelf, that freaked me out, i have social anxiety too. That was mean for that kid to say, you're never too old for something you enjoy! I'd say try not to let it bother you but i know from experience how hard it is :(  But still what do 9 year olds know anyway  :lol:

Eeee my Scarah Screams arrived! I've been paranoid since i ordered her she'd have horribly wonky eyes, but other than an awkward box pose she's perfect, what a relief  :biggrin:

Based on the number of people who still sometimes have a hard time finding MH on the shelf, I'm guessing that they're still guaranteed the money.

I will say, different Target's have different policies around collectibles. Unlike new video games/movies/etc, the dolls themselves don't have a "hard" release date. So the general manager of a store (or sometimes the district marketing manager) can make the call to hold certain hot products. There may be an upcoming ad, and they may be concerned that they wont have enough to support it. I haven't even seen this Sunday's ad for target, so I don't know. But I do know that there's a reset going on at many stores, and the box of ST at hannaliten's Target may have been on a designated pallet, which would explain why the employees couldn't find it.

I got bored the other day, and decided to make a photo of all of the dolls based on character. I used the photos in the *Up and Coming* Thread to do this. [The thread says they are free to take, I just used paint to rearrange them] I wanted to compare things like hair color or makeup [or Lagoona's hands], and I didn't have a good way to do that.
I wanted to share in case anyone is interested:

Ok, wow! I had to catch up, I was at wedding festivities all weekend!

I figured I would report on my finding seeing as how folks are searching for new DT dolls!  I went to Books A million and saw the classroom dolls and some DT. I picked up Dt Cleo for $14.99, not bad! Her hair is also my favorite of the Cleos. 

Kroger had ALL the RM girls, and I must say, I am in LOVE!!!! They also had ALL of the DT girls, even the new Abbey, and some SS girls.

2 Target, nothing new, I picked up some clearance erasers for my niece's christmas.

Kmart had some Ghouls Rule new to them, I put Frankie down... only one of each character for me for now!

TRU, Saw a Lagoona and Hydration station as the only new stock.. $44.99

Thats it, no Venus and Robecca  :(

Congrats Airiel, what store did you find them in? I ran across a Skull Shores pack last Monday while doing my rounds, it was hidden behind a bunch of Gloom Beach sets, so hopefully it will be popping up in your area soon. :) I'm kind of kicking myself that I didn't pick them up, I really want that Cleo, but I was trying to curb my doll-bender a bit. ;)

I found the MH Campus playset! That is one biiiig ass box. I don't think I'd be able to ninja my way into the house with it that big. @,@;

But for the aprox price of $109.99 I'd expect it to be a big playset for that price. At first I thought it was gonna be a tiny one but from that box size, might be otherwise. XD

...Then again...*Imagines herself opening the box only to find all the tiny pieces dump out* XP

I also saw the SS 5 pack set! OMG I love the way Frankie looks!! If they're gonna sit on the shelves, I'll probably save for those too. XP

They aren't big enough to hurt you. Mine had closed up on one of its stickers LOL

My dog wants to eat them, so they are hanging out outside right now. I've already learned a lot just doing a little bit of research. [Did you know they are native to North/South Carolina?]

I got bored the other day, and decided to make a photo of all of the dolls based on character. I used the photos in the *Up and Coming* Thread to do this. [The thread says they are free to take, I just used paint to rearrange them] I wanted to compare things like hair color or makeup [or Lagoona's hands], and I didn't have a good way to do that.

Good work but you forgot the Ghouls Rule Abbey that was revealed at SDCC.

Hey everyone.  I found the Roller Maze 2 pack with Abbey and Ghoulia today in Kmart, so they should start popping up elsewhere soon!

Congrats Airiel, what store did you find them in? I ran across a Skull Shores pack last Monday while doing my rounds, it was hidden behind a bunch of Gloom Beach sets, so hopefully it will be popping up in your area soon. :) I'm kind of kicking myself that I didn't pick them up, I really want that Cleo, but I was trying to curb my doll-bender a bit. ;)

I found them at Target.  They rang up under the standard MH assortment DPCI 086 02 0477.

I know someone helped me with the MH measurements previously, but I was wondering if someone could help me with a more specific question. For the werecat dolls, it looks like their tails stick out to the side (like in the box) and I would want the case for them to be big enough to accommodate that (but I also don't know if the tails can move?)

Do you think this size case would be big enough to fit the werecat dolls (twins/Toralei) with the tails sticking out like in the box: 6x3x13. Link: http://www.collectingwarehouse.com/Product-Home-Page/DollSafe-Brand-Display-Boxes/DollSafe-Display-Box-6x3x13

Example of the tails-sticking-out-thing: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/roseann0x0x/6813796534/ (not my pic & I have no idea where Toralei's tail is in this one...)

Thanks for any help you guys can give!

Major success at Target today! :D I'm so excited. The last time I found a new Signature doll in-store was like when Spectra was first released. So it's been a while! Venus was actually hidden in another part of the store, but I happened to spy her peeking out of something and yoink! Clutching her close as I suspiciously darted my eyes around to see if anyone was going to try and take her from me. XD She and GR Ula were two of my most wanted, too.  :heart:

I also picked up Operetta's fashion pack and some LIV outfits/wigs for my monsters because they were on clearance. :3 No Scary Tales or GR Frankie or Cleo to be found, sadly. They did have GR Clawdeen, but with all of my other purchases I just couldn't justify her. My boyfriend looked at her with an alarmed look on his face and said, "Yeah, I think you'd have a hard time justifying that outfit in any situation." Ehehe.

Hellinor- The twins tails can actually be rotated in their sockets, so if you want you can move them up or down behind their backs or legs. In that pic Toralei's tail is behind the girl on the left. Hers has a wire in it that the other's dont have that makes it poseable.  So yes, I think those cases will be just fine for your girls.
I really hope they arrive to you tomorrow and get there safe and sound. ^^

Though I'm not a fan at all of the DT girls, I want my dolls to have real clothes not pyjamases XD I just want the doll and probably her fashion pack.

This is torture! I don't live near any of my family and none of my friends or my OH have a credit card with spare cash in the bank. Ugh.

I understand that they don't take payment until the product's been shipped, and they put a 'hold' on money instead, but how long does it take for that hold to go on? I get paid tomorrow but don't want to risk my card bouncing as I'll get charged £30.

If anyone plans on snagging Scarah (or anything) on mattycollector, make sure you're signed in now.  The site is taking people into a queue due to the high traffic and it's going to take several seconds to click on anything.

If you were in a real store, that's like someone walking up and yanking your stuff out of your shopping cart and there's nothing you can do about it.

If it's in your cart it should be reserved, if only for a few minutes to allow you to get through the order process

I was sure it wouldn't like it as the delivery and billing addresses were different, plus I've had her MC page open on my laptop for days now as a separate tab.

I'm not getting excited until I have her in my sweaty little paws though.

I think it was easier for the people overseas, don't know why. One of my friends in Sweden klicked through and got her right away, no waiting room for her. Plus, she was charged less in shipping for 2 Scarahs then they charged me for 2 Polly Pockets.

well I refreshed the page manually at noon, got to add her to cart, and log in without getting the waiting room page either time. If I didn't get it when entering my order, I couldn't have possible been that far back on a queue could I?

Congrats to those that got through and my condolences to those that didn't get her. :( I have a fast internet connection and tried to pick up some extras for those here who missed out but I couldn't get past the checkout page. I had all of my info preloaded and added two to my cart immediately, but when the billing confirmation loaded the "next/confirm" button didn't load with it for some reason. By the time I was able to reload, she was sold out.

My boyfriend surprised me the other night and told me Scarah's in the mail after hearing my SDCC connections fell through, so I'm eternally grateful to him right now because I was planning on just trying my hand at mattycollector and I likely wouldn't have even bothered otherwise. I'm so happy I have someone who supports my insanity the way he does, lol, I don't know what I'd do without him sometimes.

This was nuts though, the past two exclusives were a cakewalk to track down when compared to this. I really hope that next year's exclusive isn't a unique character because I can only see this getting more ridiculous if that's the case. Since we had no word on DOA this year, I have this awful feeling of dread that she's going to be set for next year's con if we see her at all.  >_<

Hmm, well I guess its good I didn't even bother trying because I doubt I would have ended up getting her anyway. Sorry to those who tried to get her and weren't able to :( I can't believe how bad the SDCC exclusives (:muffin: Pony and Scarah) were this year, how rediculous. Like others have said, its a real shame for the kids who look forward to getting one and want one badly but aren't able to get one.

I'm just eternally gratefully I got the chance to get Scarah. Ditzy wasn't even available to order in the UK and unless hasbro are saving the few they have left for Ponycon there is no way us UK people can get her unless we get her for stupid prices and extortionate shipping through ebay. I SO hope Hasbro adds overseas shipping before next year.

I had a dentist appointment today.  My dad grabbed his laptop and I tried on my phone.  We got stuck in a loop once she was for sale.  He was able to add her to the cart but she was gone when it finally went to the check out.  I asked my boyfriend if he'd try to snag her when I was out, as my backup.  He's got some magic luck I'm really glad I didn't pick one up from a pre seller at 70+.

I was able to get for my Daughter.    She LOVES Monster High!  They are her favorite toys.  Next year my husband will be at SDCC and hopefully he can score anything they have.  This year we couldn't find anyone to help us out, so I am glad I was able to get one.

  I was in 25 mins before it started to make sure I could get the page to load.  I hit cart within 5 seconds of launch, and still had a few mins. of wait. 

I am so excited about the news of the Howleen Hip Hop doll.  She wants Howleen really bad, but they are so $$$.

The seller I pre-ordered my Scarah from still hasn't replied to an email I send, to let me know if he got her for me. Yet I've seen other people confirm they got a Scarah..

I'm quite worried right now. I wouldn't mind buying her elsewhere for a high price but I'm afraid I won't get my money back from this seller. ;_;

Alright.  I was upset when I thought I would have to pay $80 for Scarah on ebay, when she costs $25.  Now she's practically $100!  Please tell me she'll go back down:(  Now I'm praying for $80 :lol:  Is this just because people are freaking out about losing her this morning?  Any guess as to what her pricing will be like in the future?  I'm not holding my breath for one at cost, but I CAN'T spend $100 on this doll.  I don't like her enough.

I think I'm going to look into a custom, or commission someone, or do one myself.  I'll probably like whatever I wind up with more, anyway.  I'm sad I won't have the diaries or box art, though:(

When all you lucky ladies and gents get your Scarahs, could you be so kind to post pictures of her and Frankie side by side (or any doll that would be a good base for a custom.)  I know GB Frankie was used in a pinch at CC last year, but I'd like to see how she turned out IRL.

They have pretty much the same body color, and Scarah has GB Frankie's hand mold, so that should be easy enough to get. Their faces are totally different, though.

Wow omg what a debacle Scarah has been. First all the nonsense at the con and now total fail on the website? You'd think that making more Scarahs and having more happy fans would be a much better idea than making so many people unhappy. Just... I do not get it. Store exclusives, much as I hate them, I can kind of see Mattel's benefit there as I'm sure the stores pay them a ton to get the exclusive rights. But these con exclusives... why so mean?! Why do they hate the fans and love the scalping?! I'm so sorry to all of you who couldn't get her. :hug: :cry: :hug:

I think it was easier for the people overseas, don't know why. One of my friends in Sweden klicked through and got her right away, no waiting room for her. Plus, she was charged less in shipping for 2 Scarahs then they charged me for 2 Polly Pockets.

Yargh, if I'd known it would turn out that non-Americans got a fast lane, I would've tried to order some for you guys. So. Unfair. :argh:  :cry:

In happier news, for my fellow Canadians, apparently (according to someone on MHD) Ghouls Rule have shown up at Zellers (in Ontario). Which is weird because Zellers is supposed to be starting to close down so why get new stock? But no complaints here, they're supposedly priced less than at TRU and there is also a coupon (again courtesy of MHD): $10 off a $40 purchase at Zellers (http://www.unignorablework.com/images/BABY1.jpg). I'm going to go look at my store later.  :)

Thanks PandaBerry:)  Although that didn't help at all, cuz now I HAVE to have her.  At any cost :cry:  I love how her eyes are lined in a perfect black line.  She still isn't worth $100 though.  Even if I received her as a gift, I'd feel badly someone spent SO much money for her.  Why didn't I buy her when she was $60?

Congrats, PandaBerry.  She looks alot better freed from her box, hanging with Frankie:)  Must find.........

If it makes you guys feel any better, most people have been finding that Scarah has a pretty big bald spot on the back of her head. Here's a picture of mine.

Since visible scalps are a common warning sign of glue seepage dolls, I'm going to just hope for the best... (My Scarah was made in Indonesia, I don't know about anyone else's.)

Also, Scarah has the worst stand I've ever had.

I called and talked to "James" who didn't speak enough English to understand what I was asking. [I'm not trying to be rude, it is just true] He basically told me tough luck, and that there was nothing he could do for a sold out item. I had sent an email too, but no response.

I saw a case of Scarahs for sale on ebay.  The case was labeled "made in Indonesia" and I cringed.  They want $600 for the case.  6 to a case. 

She'd probably be an easy doll to rehair.  Black hair isn't too hard to come by :lol:  Or you could add plugs.  It sucks that you would have to consider adding hair to a doll that is so expensive, though.  For the amount of money I'm considering paying for her, she should come with a diamond ring from Hoodude :lol:

Doesn't it make you kinda sick that there is someone offering that case like that? I'm an adult collector, so hurting my feelings is nothing, but if I had a daughter [or even a son] that wanted one, and this was going on..... oooo.... this is why I can't have kids :)

I didn't even know that us international folks could place an order, too.. let alone that we'd get first dips. Otherwise I'd have ordered two for sale/trade since I am not interested in her in the slightest. Might be valueable info for next year's exclusive, tho. :<

Anyways, good luck on your hunt! I hope her ebay-prices will drop a bit in the near future.. $100 is just ridiculous. :<

I managed to make a private deal with a seller off ebay and I got two sets of Scarah for $50 a piece, Yes that's expensive but compared to the prices now for her its not bad. So at least he got a profit and I or am getting what i want since they are in the mail and should arrive any time now.

Post by: crimsondeity on July 23, 2012, 03:57:29 PM
My Scarah has the same bald spot at the back of her head. Also, several of us have discovered that she has patchy rooting under her headband. The headband doesn't concern me as much, since I tend to keep my girls in their stock. but it's annoying, because the last two exclusives have had stunning quality. Granted, the rest of the doll is perfect, but the hair is a huge disappointment.

One of my besties contacted Mattel to complain and they're sending her a $25 voucher. After I get a couple pics, i'm doing the same. I strongly encourage everyone with a legitimate issue to do the same. I'll be taking a photo with her next to a label, so they can see I'm not just using someone else's photo to scam a free voucher. but yeah, they need to realize, the SDCC exclusives are an extremely limited run, and that the quality level should be much higher for dolls like that. I can excuse dolls sold in stores with issues, because new batches will be made. But this Scarah is limited to something like 5,000 or so. I can't just sit around and wait for them to fix the issue.

In better news, the aforementioned bestie (some of you may know her as VeniVidiDolli) found me a Venus and a Robecca! I haven't spotted either of them yet, so I'm super excited! I've been aching for a plant-based monster since the line launched, so the fact that I hadn't gotten her yet was driving me nuts. Not only did she find them, she dug through five boxes (her Walmart had just gotten a truck) to find me dolls that were practically perfect!

It's not fair as such, but I think I can see why Mattel did that. Anyone who lives outside of the US would have been far less likely to be able to attend SDCC, so obtaining Scarah would have been near impossible. It was a sham the way it was handled, and that there weren't enough dolls to go around, but I'm sure there are some international fans who are counting themselves very lucky.

Surprisingly, as someone from the U.S, I'm not bothered the international buyers may have gotten a better chance at Scarah.  It does seem alittle bit fairer for them, I guess.  She sold out in 17 min.  Did any of us REALLY have a chance?  I'm not a cut-throat type of person.  I will not run to be in front of a line.  I will not cheat to get something before anyone else.  I did everything I could to get this doll and it didn't work for me *shug*  I had the chance to get the first SDCC exclusive, but was never interested.  I picked up the second exclusive from Matty Collector HOURS after she was available.  It was time I ran into a bit of bad luck:(  I was pretty upset minutes after I lost Scarah (because I HAD HER. I just couldn't close the deal, due to panic) but I'm over it now.  I know I can't get her for $25 anymore.  I know if I want her, I have to PAY for her.  Now I just a couple tough choices ahead of me.  To buy or not to buy........

Post Merge: July 23, 2012, 04:44:27 PM

Ugh!  Could you imagine spending over a hundred for her, and Mattel re-releasing her (ala Cupid) and bringing her value down.  The only thing that's making me THINK about spending this money now, is that a year or two down the line she MIGHT be worth a bit more.  I keep thinking IF I had invested that $20 on SDCC Frankie 2 years ago, I could buy 2 Scarahs :lol:

I really can't see Scarah being worth all this money.  I know Hoodude's included, but I feel as though I could make a better voodoo doll myself.  If anything it's those diaries, and any box art that's worth the extra $$$$ for me.......

grzankitter- yeah, if they release a widespread basic version of Scarah after this whole debacle I will NOT be pleased. Especially if she's almost exactly the same. I'm glad I picked up 1600 Cupid at cost in store because the re-release just isn't as cute to me. I'm irritated at myself that I didn't know about SDCC Frankie till MONTHS after the fact so I've never been able to get her. ;.;

I love that the SS 5-pack has fewer repeat dolls, but the GB 5-pack has stands and a plastic accessory for each girl, plus a brush and a postcard. Considering it retails for the same price, I wish they'd put the same extras into the SS pack. Even just tossing in the already-produced drinks for Ghoulia and Ula plus the stands would have made me really happy. (Of course I still love the dolls themselves - Clawdeen's hair and Cleo's shoes are to die for!)

Hey, does anyone know if they are redoing the CAM Dragon pack with two torsos? That is the only one that has tempted me so far, but I only found one in my KMart that has the one torso.... Anyone know?

rayedelsol:  I don't think Mattel plans to re-release that set:(  They've given us a matching Dragon torso with the Witch/Werecat Starter Set, and probably think that was enough.  Hope they do though.  Never hurts to have extra torsos:)

For those of you lucky few with Scarah and Hoodude in hand, does the diaries come in the box with the dolls or are they loose?  Some ebay sellers show photos of loose diaries, some don't.  I want to make sure I get those diaries included with my purchase....

They are loose but inside the outer box, not attached inside the inner box with the dolls. This way they can be kept mint(ish) but you can still read the diaries.

I lucked up and came across Venus at WalMart tonight!  She wasn't even on the shelf, she was in a pile of stuff at the end of the row that the stock people were putting BACK on the shelves.  I guess someone had hidden her on a different row, but didn't come back for her soon enough and she was in the process of being put back where she belonged.  I didn't even spot her first, I walked past and my husband stopped behind me and said, "Oh hey, what's that??" and pointed at the pile...I saw her laying on top and I snatched her up and said "THAT is coming home with me, that's what that is!"  LOL

*Happy*

Thank you for the DPCI earlier, Mandy!  No Targets around me have GR yet.  New Jersey is never up to speed when it comes to these dolls! 

Are the two-torso packs of the dragon/werewolf CAM being found anywhere yet?  I've seen the two-torso pack of the sea monster/vampire in a few places already, but not the other one.

If I'm not mistaken, the GR should be part of the reset at Target. I was disappointed my TRU was sold out of them this past weekend, but now I'm not so upset; they show in Target's system as being $22.99 instead of TRU's ridiculous $29.99! Of course, that could change, but for now, I'm happy.

I haven't seen the dragon CaM with a second tosrso yet, but I haven't looked in the past few weeks. I tend to stop examining the boxes of dolls I already own after I start seeing ones I don't  have lol! Like granz said, the cat CaM torso is a perfect match. Of course, that leave kitty without a matching torso, but since her stock shirt covers most of it, I just used the vamp torso. Then I popped the vamp head on an extra Lala body. Profit!!

To those of you who made it through this debacle and were able to get a Scarah- congratulations! I'm amazed at how badly Mattel ran the whole thing, they should have had some idea- it's not like this is the first year they've been selling hot items post SDCC!

A *case*? How the blazes did that even happen?

(And those of you who feel bad for gettting through- please don't! It's not your doing that the Big M screwed up. It's good to see that at least a few Arena members ended up with the set.)

There was a trademark for a "Cat-tastrophe", but I don't know if it was confirmed that it was for A Toralei addition to the  superhero line they showed at SDCC. In any case, she's still regularly appearing in the webisodes, and she has a unique headmold. So I think it's very likely we'll see her make another appearance soon.

I really want to slap whoever designed Rochelle. Ugh.. just ugh. I love this doll. I really truly do but she is WAY too stiff. I don't know if it's just my doll.. but.. ugh

It takes so much effort to move her arms. She's so stiff that she can't do poses that well. I feel like I really can't do ANYTHING with her. And changing her clothing is a NIGHTMARE. I was fooling around putting Frankie, Lagoona and Rochelles outfits on each other and hers just got me so frustrated! Why is this doll so STIFF?

-stares at the mobile store locator-

Oh Targets, do not taunt me like this! The ST dolls seem to be available at two of the Targets I can get to with some friends (since they aren't TOO terribly far from the middle of nowhere my fiance and I live, added to close to the mall).. but I'm not going out until the 3rd or 4th. I wanna save my voucher for Venus/Robecca, but because the voucher expires on Halloween and I don't get to the store often enough, I doubt I'll find either to use it on... and omg that Clawdeen.

Ahhh lucky! I want the I <3 Fashion Abbey so much! She'd probably be fighting for my voucher's love against ST Clawdeen... I need both of them for my collection... but they are just so amazing in their own ways... dammit. It sucks that my fiance's mother has gone into full on.. um... animal (this is the most polite way I can put it) mode about.. everything and feels as though we're too busy buying BS (never mind she'd do the same, and has in the past, but that is best for a WYP thread XD) that I can't rightfully grab both (even though one will be free!).... eh, I'll see how next week goes.

I don't have Kairi in the photo, but here are her dolls so far.  Her Birthday is coming in Sept. and I know she will be getting more dolls and Draculaura's car too.

Please excuse that they are a bit messy.  These belong to a 4 almost 5 year old.  She takes really good care of them and they are played with and loved daily.  I know there are more pets here somewhere too.  They cross over to play with Strawberry Shortcake and Barbie often.    Her first doll was Cupid in Feb.  These were all either gifts or they were purchased with money she got for holidays, selling old toys, or chores.

Just to clarify, Toralei does have an rip as part of her shirt's design. Did the feathers catch in this and snag it? I just wanted to point it out in case it's the part that's meant to be there. I didn't really notice it at first on mine and thought I had put it there initially, since it's un-hemmed and looks like a slash in the fabric.

Boo....I just got Venus and Robecca in the mail and Robecca has some horrible wonk eye going on. :( She's looking off in two different directions and one of her eyebrows is covering the bolts on her forehead. I contacted Mattel and they told me to send her back for a replacement, but in doing so I will have to pay return shipping and it'll be 6-8 weeks before the new one arrives. I can't be happy with her the way she is so I guess I'm just going to have to suck it up and do it. This kind of spoiled my day, I was really looking forward to receiving her today.

Oh well. I think I may try and head out to Walmart later to see if I can find another in the meantime.

Post by: Mandy85 on July 25, 2012, 10:16:18 AM
Thanks guys. :) I got impatient and found them for a good deal on ebay, I had a feeling buying them sight unseen was going to end this way. I should have known better by now, lol, especially after coming across an entire shelf of wonk eye a few weeks ago when the re-releases started hitting my area. It seems like the problem has gotten worse now that they're trying to crank out production.

It's going to take a month to get my replacement, so I'm hoping I can find a nice one in the store in the meantime and just sell off my extra (given that she doesn't look funky as well anyway).

Haha, the more I look at her the more errors I find. Poor girl, one of her eyelashes is also smeared on the side of her face and her lips were applied crooked as well.

I'm finding that I'm really disappointed with the quality control on the I <3 Fashion Abbey now (there are three of her and three Frankies at the TRU in Ann Arbor).

They all have wonky eyebrows, and her left tooth is always off at a weird angle. Plus, half of the ones I've seen are missing a line of eye shadow (there are supposed to be two different lines of pink).

I exchanged the one I had for one that is slightly better, but I'm still not 100% satisfied with it...I'm not sure if I should keep her boxed in case I find a better one or not.

Can I see some pictures of her face from other people, just to see if there are ones out there with more even eyebrows and teeth?

*sigh* I went out looking for a new Robecca and there's still no trace of Robecca or Venus in my area yet. Now that I'm looking over Venus, she has a bit of an eye wonk as well so I won't be opening her either. I'm really unhappy right now. I'm also a bit aggravated that Mattel is making me pay shipping back to them to replace Robecca when she has such glaringly horrible flaws. They're going to be sending me a shipping label eventually to print out, but go figure, I'm out of ink so I'm going to have to do it at work. /end whine

I'm okay with minor things, but major wonkiness like I've often seen in stores and like your Robecca has... no go! Mattel CS should just send you a new one without any of this return business.  >_< I hope you can find nice ones soon and feel better :hug:

Went to work today at the Mall, My Boss sends me out to go pick him up a few things and went into Zellers (Canadian Version of Target, but soon to be Target) to pick him up Peanut Butter, well anyways i swung by the toys and they finally had some new stuff They had 4 DDG Dolls and I was missing Lagoona so Snagged her up. YEAY!

Went to the check out and low and behold the tills were all down so i had to wait like 20 min till they rebooted and was only able to purchase my bosses stuff so I put DDG Lagoona on hold till lunch.

Went back at lunch and took another peak in the otys and all the DDG Dolls er GONE! Wasn't surprised though but was so happy I put the only Lagoona on hold. But tey did just put out the Ghouls Rule dolls on the shelf i was so tempted to put them on hold till tomorrow but After Examining the two Draculaura's I had to pass their bangs were all smashed and puffed out of control. Plus after thinking I want a set from the US to keep MIB since you guys dont have the translated languages on the box.

Any whoo I did get my doll at lunch YEAY! When I got home I got a package and low and Behold I got my 2 Scarah's I pre ordered off ebay YEAY! So Happy they arrived Safe! What a Great Day!

Yeah! Congrats! I passed on a DDG Lagoona [TRU had all three one day] and they were gone the next! I'm hoping to see them again soon, but none of the Targets in my area are going to be carrying them :(

Still no sign of Robecca or Venus in any of my local Targets or Walmarts. So many 1600 Clawdeens and SS dolls, though!

Messing around on Flickr, and OMG I am rehairing my Cupid with red hair. My Cupid has the lighter hair, she isn't the 1600 Cupid, and her curls never fell right. I washed most of them out and took that silly circle down. I know if was supposed to be a heart, but again, never was right....

Anyway, can I post a picture from flickr that isn't mine?

Just wanted to mention that if anybody is near the area of Fort Wayne, Indiana: the CAM packs with 2 torsos are available at the Target there. Right now the only ones on the shelves are the Witch/Cat and the Sea Monster/Vampire but both come with 2 torsos. :)

My sister grabbed one of each and she gave me the Sea Monster/Vampire set (eek!) so we're going to be customizing our dolls later once she gets home from our dad's house in August.

I had a Ghouls Rule Frankie in my hands. But I didn't really want her. And someone came in the isle right after I picked her up, and kept looking at her longingly.

Maybe I will have good MH Karma now? 'cause I always find everyone elses dolls. Just not my own.

Skipped going to Target for a day and missed the Venus and Robecca shipment.  And I only know because there was one lone Rochelle on the shelf, lol.  I needed her though, so it was still a good toy run!  I know the employees think I'm nuts for coming in so frequently, but that's what happens when you don't!

I was lucky enough to have gotten a one and only one CAM pack of Sea Monster/Vampire with two torsos yesterday in nearby Walmart (in Canada)! I didn't know that the first release of the CAM set comes only with one torso at first and I was wondering why all these sets carry only one torso while there's one set (the one that I bought) has two torsos sold at the same price! ^.^

My same thoughts! I'm just gonna go in my corner and go with my logic that I didn't see her so she didn't exist :D

Edit: Both Venus and Robecca just showed up for me when searching, dunno if they're gonna be doing what the DDG girls did with "LOL WE'RE HERE, NO WE AREN'T" but have fun looking! If only I had the cash... well, I do. It's just in PayPal.. and won't get into the bank account before the order process...

They officially showed up for the first time this morning, and have been showing up sporadically ever since. I've been refreshing the page obsessively all day and when I saw $19.99 I was like BUY BUY BUY! It says my order may take an additional 1-2 days to process, and estimated arrival date is a week from today, but I'm optimistic. I have prime so I always get stuff really fast.

Look what else I found at Kmart today!! The MH section was STOCKED to the brim.

It said that for my DDG Spectra and I think it took the two days, I think they pulled the money almost immediately though so it gave me a piece of mind to know I got her, haha. I'm just really sore right now because I have money in PayPal that wouldn't get into the bank account in time... and that I can't use my Mattel voucher online. I know they're just dolls and I just gotta keep telling myself that and maybe I'll actually find them next weekend or on the 9th when I go food shopping.

It's also so weird to see a K-Mart stocked to the brim! My local one always looks like a bomb went off and all that's left are scraps hahaha. I spy new blind bags though! I now have the uncontrollable urge to bug my friends on Saturday if we can go there to look for dolls and the Walmarts for ponies... >_________>;

The stores here never really clear out. I'm so glad of that. Not even $15 off the regular price of $35 for Dawn of the Dance dolls was enough to clear them off the shelves at Farmers. There are still plenty. And now they're having another 20% off toy sale.

Pffff, Robecca is taunting me. I shoved both of them onto my wishlist to keep track, just in case I was able to grab either for whatever reason and she's showing up as the 19.99 even though she's not actually available.

That's generally how this one looks too, which is why I was kind of shocked. I visited last week and they had a bunch of old skull shores, the accessories, and a handful of sweet 1600. Then I walk in today to this!

Haha, our Zellers is just like that... just a shattered wreck of a place with the most bizarre stock patterns. (SO glad it's closing :lol:) I still haven't found GR here, or new DT, or Venus/Robecca, or the TRU I <3 Fashion but I'm going to look everywhere tomorrow :D

How much was the Roller Maze 2-pack Rhini? I am beginning to want it badly XD Wish Kmart hadn't left Canada! :cry: Would anyone be able to pick a set up for me in the next week or two? (Not that I should spend MOAR on dolls right now but I just got paid for a job so... ^^;)

lol my kmart having so much MH yesterday was a fluke. It's usually a pile of MH wigs and the Coffin Bean set.  Ponies are pathetic too, just fluttershy on a scooter and the plush baby sweetie belle, but yesterday they had the wedding castle!  Mine is in the mail so I resisted, but just barely.

Post by: justkitter on July 26, 2012, 10:58:44 AM
Went EVERYWHERE today and found NOTHING:(  And I'm looking for alot.  I still haven't seen GR, DDG, ST, Venus, Robecca, I <3 Abbey, Lala + Playset, Ghoulia + Playset, Roller Maze 2 pack.  I even went to a couple thrift stores looking for grab bag doll clothes and found nada.

I know all these things are gonna show up all at once just to screw with me :lol:  Why can't I buy a line at a time?  Ugh!

So I ended up buying a few LIVs.  What?  I'm strictly a MH collecter.  How did that happen?  They were way to cheap to pass up.  I'll be selling the dolls I think, FYI.  I bought them for the wigs, and MAYBE some clothes.

You know, I don't mind waiting for things to come to Michigan.  I can be patient.  But I'm afraid that if I don't buy things ASAP, I'll miss out.  So if all these lines show up together next week....... I NEVER saw the Werewolf Sisters in store.  How is that even possible?  I'm in these stores once a week.  Maybe I'll just have you lovely (LUCKY) people do my shopping for me:)

Even though I'm not supposed to be buying dolls (hehe...) I went out today and found nothing of importance. Just Skull Shores and Sweet 1600. :( I did see that Wal-Mart is now stocking the cat/witch and male CAM sets, so if anyone is looking for those, try Wal-Mart. They had the werewolf/dragon set as well.

Did the Werewolf/Dragon have 2 torsos.  I saw the new Starters at Walmart today, too, but they didn't have any Werewolf/Dragon ones.  I'm just curious to know if they've re-released this set with 2 torsos, because I've never seen them IRL :huh:

Did the Werewolf/Dragon have 2 torsos.  I saw the new Starters at Walmart today, too, but they didn't have any Werewolf/Dragon ones.  I'm just curious to know if they've re-released this set with 2 torsos, because I've never seen them IRL :huh:

Unfortunately, no. :( They only had one torso. I think that might have been leftover from the last shipment, my Wal-Mart has had them for a while.

Does anyone know if signature Spectra is still shipping to stores? I wanted another to replace mine (mine has weird face paint!) but I would rather not pay outrageous eBay/third-party Amazon prices so I was hoping I may run across a perfect one in stores some day.

My TRU had two I think, so they're still showing up

She's currently shipping to stores in a re-release assortment that includes C.A. Cupid, 1.0 Draculaura, and 2.0 Frankie and Clawdeen. I've been seeing her pop up here and there at my local TRU, Walmart, and Target for the past few weeks so hopefully you'll run into her eventually. I know my Target has about 3-4 cases of this assortment waiting to be put out on the floor for the store reset this coming Sunday.

My Target was mean! I got there this morning and they only had Frankie on the shelf. I thought for sure I had missed Clawdeen (and Lala) so I went to the next Target. Well, they hadn't reset yet.  But they told me that the previous store had 5. I'm like "5? They only had the 2 Frankies!" So, I went back and it turned out they hadn't put Clawdeen and Lala on the shelf yet. Derp!

I'm pondering buying a Cupid, since there's both versions currently available around here (at different stores, tho) ..I know someone here did an awesome comparison shot of her two releases a little while ago, but I cannot find it anymore.. :C
 
Can someone help me find some comparison pics of her, so that I know which store to go to? LOL. xD;

I don't have a pic, but go for the Sweet 1600 version, unless you really need her diary. :) She's much nicer quality than the re-release.

so thanks to my mom and my friends husband (long story) I got my hands on a LOT of scary tales today... a long with a few other dolls... somehow out of all the things I bought today I only got 3 dolls haha... but it was well worth it to make some people happy... especially the little girls that will be getting their's next week (but their mom is holding onto them till christmas so it's a surprise)

but man my stores are being really slow to reset... only 1 out of 6 stores has actually reset the toy aisle.

speaking of I saw those new novi dolls and I like the art a lot better then the dolls....

her aqua lips I can live with, I don't mind if makeup is random - I don't match my own makeup to my clothes after all. But the pink wheels are just so out of place! I might paint them green, actually, to match the cherry stems :)

and the risers are these http://www.organizeit.com/expand-a-shelf.asp?cmpid=SLI though I got mine on ebay. Great for dolls and baby ponies! (and G4s I suppose, if that's your thing)

I checked all my stores today and they are definitely resetting, but not with any new MH. It's all the stuff they should've had like 2 months ago XD Canada, you so weird. Plenty of the Rochelle/Jackson case and a whole new batch of werecat twins at TRU. (Anyone need any of these guys?) Some RM and DDG, but no GR yet although I think they've been spotted elsewhere in Canada... And still no I <3 Fashion Frankie/Abbey, curses!

The stores here never really clear out. I'm so glad of that. Not even $15 off the regular price of $35 for Dawn of the Dance dolls was enough to clear them off the shelves at Farmers. There are still plenty. And now they're having another 20% off toy sale.

Depending on what Dawn of the Dance ones are there, I'm temped to ask for one. XD

Post by: Mandy85 on July 27, 2012, 07:36:41 AM
I came across Ghoulia and her Scooter last Friday at my local TRU, hidden behind some Beiber dolls. She's such a pretty doll, but I ended up leaving her behind. Her outfit is the only thing I'm really interested in tracking down eventually, I love those boots.

There doesn't seem to be as much love for the Draculaura and Powder Room set, they had nearly an entire shelf filled with them. I guess there's only so much you can do with a bathtub when compared to a scooter, lol. Her hair looks like such a mess in person, so that may also be a part of it. I think she'd look really cute with a proper boil perm.  :)

I'm hoping I can find an upgrade for signature Draculaura this weekend while on my mini vacation. My original doll is so wonk-eyed, lol, it never used to bother me as much before, I suppose I was less picky when I first started collecting these, but lately I can't look at her without cracking up. I had been kicking myself that I wasn't more proactive about upgrading her before the first run of signature dolls disappeared from shelves, so it seems like I was given another crack at it with the re-releases.

Going to go hunt for Venus and Robecca tomorrow- I'm going to get my best friend her birthday presents and decided to make it a doll hunting spree too now that I FINALLY HAVE MY FIRST JOB! I am so excited! :squee:

I have Ghoulia from the fearleading pack that has a weird knee and weird hips that kind of pop out when I put her in the sitting position, then my DT frankie has a smudged eye and my DDG Spectra has a wonky eye, I'm still holding out hope on exhanging her though..

I went to a new Target yesterday, and apparently they are completely ignoring the toy reset date.  They had a million new things! The bratzillas, their pets, and their outfits, the la dee das and their outfits, the winx dolls and their outfits, the novi stars dolls, a whole bunch of MH (no Robecca, Venus, or 5 packs, of course), and the new pony three packs. It was crazy! Apparently, there a LOT of new dolls coming out! If only the five pack would show up somewhere!  I only need one, right......

does anyone have some sort of item number for the kmart 2 pack?
I'm not sure anything but a SKU would work :S kmart doesn't even have a inventory checker like computer system for customers, the people who work there have to look it up on their scanners and physically go look for it.

Gah!  Why are my Walmarts so behind on their resets?!  I went there last night, it was freshly stocked to the brim....with those dang 1600 dolls! Geez will they never go away?!

Hehe, even with the resets at Walmart, we're still getting the 1600 Dolls. DX

Haha, the 1600 are EVERYWHERE  in germany. ^^
Our TRU has 4 isles dedicated to MH and on monday 3 contained at least some 1600. They're a plague. ;D

OMYGOSH!!

I was so bummed that I would have to come here empty handed :( I went to two Targets, two Walmarts, and a TRU while working around Nashville today. So, at the last Walmart, I picked up a vampire/seamonster CAM with two torsos.

Then on the way home, head hung in defeat , I stopped at a Love's truckstop on the interstate. I had heard rumors that they had a small MH section.   I turned around, and there they were!!!! Venus, Robecca!! There was only two of each, which the girl helping me immediately snatched up! They also had sig Abbey, Rochelle, and Clawdeen. AND DT and Rollergirls!!

so, if you have a Love's, check them, stat! The elusive two were 24.99, which is not too bad, and MUCH better than Evilbay.

The deuce plush was 5$ at Target, also the erasers were $.60

PonySeeker, I've had best results with calling Mattel rather than emailing them. Go ahead and take pics of some of the issues and offer to email them to the representative that you get, and keep a record of when you called and who you spoke with, just in case.
Thanks for the info! Do they ask you to return the doll to them then?

None of the times I've had to call them for an issue did they ask me to send back the item to them. The time I called for a defect was with a CAM add on who had two right feet. They just sent me a voucher to cover the cost of replacing it, and I went and exchanged it at the store I got it from and used the voucher towards Cupid.

I came across Ghoulia and her Scooter last Friday at my local TRU, hidden behind some Beiber dolls. She's such a pretty doll, but I ended up leaving her behind. Her outfit is the only thing I'm really interested in tracking down eventually, I love those boots.

There doesn't seem to be as much love for the Draculaura and Powder Room set, they had nearly an entire shelf filled with them. I guess there's only so much you can do with a bathtub when compared to a scooter, lol. Her hair looks like such a mess in person, so that may also be a part of it. I think she'd look really cute with a proper boil perm.  :)

I'm hoping I can find an upgrade for signature Draculaura this weekend while on my mini vacation. My original doll is so wonk-eyed, lol, it never used to bother me as much before, I suppose I was less picky when I first started collecting these, but lately I can't look at her without cracking up. I had been kicking myself that I wasn't more proactive about upgrading her before the first run of signature dolls disappeared from shelves, so it seems like I was given another crack at it with the re-releases.

Going to go hunt for Venus and Robecca tomorrow- I'm going to get my best friend her birthday presents and decided to make it a doll hunting spree too now that I FINALLY HAVE MY FIRST JOB! I am so excited! :squee:
and I get paid above minimum wage for someone my age! happiest week of my life! :D I finally have my own income! That and an education! :) My life is finally getting juggled right! And since I have my own job, mum lets me buy my dolls now too! :squee: :D So happy right now!

Major congratulations on your new job Icecrystalline, how exciting! :) I wish you the best of luck with it.

Haha, I'm in the same position! Signature Draculaura was my first doll. I didn't really notice her eyes until the 2.0s started popping up. I saw a few of the signatures still on the shelves then, but they all had the newer eye style, which I dislike. Now I'm on the hunt for a nice one!

As an aside, is anyone who styles their doll's hair having trouble with Robecca's? It's a different texture than most of the girls, and it tends to puff out like the CaM wigs. I've gotten it into a passable state, but I really want the lovely waves her proto has.

Random note in case anyone is interested: The RM dolls come in a box with 1 Frankie, 1 Lagoona, 2 Ghoulia, and 2 Operetta, or at least the box at Target today that the nice man brought from the back for me had that breakdown.

The other Target near me decided to start resetting today, but only the Barbie isle.... They said that the reason their system says they have signature dolls but the scanners can't find a backroom location (DPCI 086-02-0477) is that they are on a pallet in the back with a whole lot of other toys, not scanned into a location, so they can't (and she said won't) go find them. [I'm not trying to be catty, just relaying what she said. I understand that to search that backroom for multiple pallets would be a waste of their time] So there many be a set of the Elusive Two near me!!

I have a couple of dolls I am going to make a complaint to mattel about, is it better to email them or call them? And what do they usually end up doing about the problem(s). I have Ghoulia from the fearleading pack that has a weird knee and weird hips that kind of pop out when I put her in the sitting position, then my DT frankie has a smudged eye and my DDG Spectra has a wonky eye, I'm still holding out hope on exhanging her though..

I've used their chat program which I find to be a rather good way to get in touch with them.

Yeah, the toys that are being prepared to go out during the reset are hard to find. They would have to go through tons of boxes to find the right one.

They had buggies full of Barbie stuff, I don't know where they are going to put it all LOL
I don't envy them one bit having to sort through all of that. When I worked at Target, I worked in "softlines" which is just clothing, so we never went through anything like this on our side of the store LOL
Also, a REALLY cute Disney isle is going up, my friend who works there says that Target and Disney are pairing up all over the store, in ladies wear, mens wear, these adorable stuffed animals, she said it was pretty big.

I know exactly where the pallet is in my Target's backroom. But it is... FORBIDDEN! It's all wrapped up with heavy duty plastic wrap and has signs all over it saying not to move it until the scheduled set. I feel like Eve in the Garden of Eden whenever I have to walk past it to put something back there lol.

I actually had a nice little chat about MH with a guest on the phone today. She said she was looking for a MH doll and I was like "Scary Tales?". I told her when to call back and that we did have one box, just that I wasn't allowed to open it yet. Hopefully she'll manage to get one when we put them out. I would have offered to hold one for her, but I won't be working that day.

Been doll hunting today, no sign of Venus or Robecca (i was being optistic hunting for them anyway) but we haven't had the re-release cases yet either, and i'm starting to think we'll never see them here  >_< I really want Frankie and Clawdeen, i missed them the first time. Have the re-released dolls actually been turning up outside of the US? I'm very curious to know since i assume as soon as Robecca and Venus start showing up its a sign we won't be getting them?

What is this? Does it happen often to you all? I have seen a couple now with this.

Post by: Fräulein_Kim on July 27, 2012, 03:29:34 PM
The re-release for Clawdeen is for her 2nd release tho, right? (the school's out?)
I really, really want her very first release. Where she looks like in the shows. But that one is always RIDICULOUSLY expensive. >_<

LiquidCyanide: At least in germany we don't seem to be getting the re-releases. Not in stores and none for preorder in various webstores yet however. So that's mostly a sign they won't be showing up. :7
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: eristell_neko on July 27, 2012, 03:38:16 PM
Trixie Stix- That's just gel from their hair. It's pretty easy to remove. If you don't want to actually wash your hair you can take a damp washcloth and wipe it off.
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: LiquidCyanide on July 27, 2012, 03:39:23 PM
TrixieStix: I think its glue/whatever they use to make the hair so stiff. A few of mine have it, i've been meaning to wash it off, but not gotten around to it yet.

Fräulein_Kim: Yeah the re-release is the School's out version, I like her first version too, just not her face. I much prefer School's outs face but for everything else i prefer wave 1. Luckily i have wave 1 Clawdeen's outfit that i plan to dress School's out in. Although getting her isn't looking good :(
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: Fräulein_Kim on July 27, 2012, 03:42:30 PM
Agh.. I don't like wave 2's outfit much. A bit tacky even for Clawdeen. LOL. xD
Never paid much attention to the face yet, tho.. will check it out! :D

But if BOTH will be hard to get for us europeans, I rather save up for just the 1st release, for her price sure is crazy. Like.. MIMIC-level. For a doll from just 2 years ago.. oO
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: LiquidCyanide on July 27, 2012, 03:50:41 PM
Same here, thats why i missed her the first time, i didn't have anything else to dress her in and that outfit is awful XD

I know wave 1's price is insane! I frequently watch her loose on ebay and it always gets quite crazy. I think she was hard to find when she was first released, i don't think i ever saw one in person, but still i'm sure she wasn't £40-£60 rare and thats just loose!  :blink:
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: Fräulein_Kim on July 27, 2012, 03:56:50 PM
Yeah, I made a thread about her here some days ago actually. People mentioned that she was short-packed for whatever reason and that there was also issues with her bio/diary down the line, because it included lines about her 'shaving', which maybe caused her to be pulled from shelves. :C

I also watch all the auctions for her in the EU (b/c of customs.. argh) for quite a while now. I'm still hesitating, but she's growing on me fast, so I'll probably cave seeing there might not be a re-relase if they already put out wave 2. Still hoping for one, tho.... ;^;
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: LiquidCyanide on July 27, 2012, 04:07:15 PM
Good luck getting her! I think it was mentioned somewhere that the first wave were 'retired'. Its all just rumours though and they did re-release the first Lala, so who knows what they'll do in the future, i mean no one was expecting what they did with Cupid.

Weird, my Spectra didn't tangle too badly when I tried to rinse out her hair. Though I didn't go all in and use real hot water or get down to the nitty gritty of trying to get that stupid bump out of her hair. I should probably go do that now while it's on my mind >_>;

When hair gets tangled for me I go really slow and work little by little and it usually works.
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: PonySeeker128 on July 27, 2012, 07:02:18 PM
That's the weird thing, once its wet, it feels like stringy and gross. And no matter how many times I try to untagle it by combing it slowly it tangles again once I touch it! It makes no sense. I just really hot tap water to try getting the bump out, which obviously didn't do any good cause once I got her hair wet I couldn't even hardly comb through it. Ugh, how annoying.

Kankelon (sp?) hair feels badly to me when it's wet.  I feels different than Saran.  Is this your first Spectra/Ghoulia?  It'll feel better when it dries.  Maybe wait to brush it out until then?  Not sure what to say about the hair loss :huh:  Hope it wasn't too much.  I haven't lucked out and found the DDG girls so I'm not speaking with any sort of experience (although I do own almost every doll, and I wash them ALL out.)

the new CAM sets have two heads (different colors), one torso, one set lower legs, one set lower arms/hands ... NO WIG, shoes, clothes ... so you can't even build half a monster really ... why two heads? rediculous ....

I didn't have too many problems just now working with my DDG... yeah the hair does feel.. odd when wet but I actually think I got some bit of the kink out using near boiling water! (Which.. I burned my self with a bit.........) I did loose a good bit of hair this time around... but I was also a bit more forceful in brushing. Mainly because I think the problem with DDG's hair (with the bump/kinks I mean) is under the hair, it was so crimped.. and at least mine looks a little better.... I'll know for sure once she's dried.. and her head isn't.. flopping.. everywhere... ><;

I don't have Robecca yet, but I have managed to tame the nastiest of CAM wigs:)  Namely the Werewolf/Dragon wig.  I used Dove conditioner.  The moisturizers in the conditioner really works through the frizz.  It does leave the hair a bit greasy though, so beware.  Maybe use a shampoo afterwards?

I like it because it gives the hair a weighed down, glossy, almost separated look.  Reminds me just a bit of Picklepud's photos.  Every hair perfectly in place.  Just wish it FELT better :huh:  But if Robecca's hair feels like that Werewolf wig, I prefer a little grease over a lot of frizz:)  Hope this helped alittle.

Except for when I asked to see a second Clawdeen...because the first one had a huge gob of glitter on her eye >.>

I hope I can find the rest that I'm looking for right now before I have to go home to Canada... Venus, Robecca, Ghoulia w/her scooter, and the Ghoulia-Abbey 2 pack.... anyone know for certain if they're in stock anywhere along I-75 north of Mason (preferably not too far off the highway)?

Grzankitter-I do have ghoulias but for some reason spectra has some mad split ends.

So last night I was goofing around with putting boots on my werecats and one of their legs cracked at the knee!! Its not super noticeable and her leg still functions but seriously?! How do they expect kids to be able to get those damn shoes on without breaking the whole leg? I was being gentle putting those on and the plastic cracked. Needless to say, Mattel will be receiving a call about my dolls with issues today.

found venus,robecca, and the nocturnal and mythical CAM's today at a Meijers store in Michigan ... they had put out two cases of the new signature dolls meaning 4 of each so i was looking through them to find the besst ones (one of each for me and one more of each for somebody here) and i ended up having to fight tooth and nail to get one venus and one robecca and one of each of the CAM's and had people following me around the store afterwards ... this is getting stupid crazy scary :\ :(


That sounds horrible.  I'd carry a small thing of mace with you. 
Which Meijers in Michigan did you hit?  I need to start looking there.

Don't have to worry about me stalking you in the stores anymore....
THEY ARE MINE! I finally got the Elusive Two! Woke up this morning and checked the Target DPCI thingie and the Target that had "Limited Availability" yesterday had "Available" today! Got there just as they opened to see beautiful Venus staring at me on the shelf! I added Venus, Robecca, and Abbey to the group today :) Pictures later, I'm busy staring at them right now :)

the new CAM sets have two heads (different colors), one torso, one set lower legs, one set lower arms/hands ... NO WIG, shoes, clothes ... so you can't even build half a monster really ... why two heads? rediculous ....

You know I have worried about that happening cause scalpers are let's face it,  little imbalanced. I've also been worried about someone seeing them in my car (since I don't have a trunk, I have an SUV) and possibly breaking in to steal them I live in one of the worst car theft towns in the country... so the thought has crossed my mind. Glad you were okay though!

If anyone has ever looked at stardolls and wanted their shoes for MH, now is a good time to go hunting. My target has the dolls on clearance for just under $5, and the fashion packs for around $10. And the clothes fit Pullips really well.

Ugh that is awful to worry about.

I had actually heard a story a while back about some guy who found some rare toy in a store, hidden. He obviously grabbed it because he wanted it, and didn't want it going to the scalper that hid it. Guy goes out into the parking lot after paying and some creepy guy followed him out there.. who lo and behold was the scalper that hid the item. Guy starts an argument and started beating on this innocent person who in turn defends himself.

The guy who simply bought a toy, for his own enjoyment, ended up getting sent to jail for fighting back and defending himself. While the scalper ran off. It honestly makes me all freaked out when my fiance or I find a rare toy that some crap like that might happen :<. Especially when I know for a fact there are scalpers in this area, as I've seen a father/son (of... typical 'forever alone' stereotype looks, as it were) team at our TRU just throwing rare, upon rare, upon rare action figure into their cart. Like, Supermarket Sweep style. It sickens me so much.

well my friends husband (who works at target and helped me get some dolls) flat out told me he has a customer call every single morning asking about dolls, and that she's flat out said she will relist them on ebay to make a profit (for example the ST she said were selling for $100 a doll, clearly she doesn't know how to look up ended auctions) and that every morning he asks her, did you call yesterday and she says "no" so I know we have them in the area... but I'm less worried about a confrontation then I am someone breaking into my car... But the things people will do for money, make me REALLY sad....

I talked to a worker at TRU yesterday about how the MH dolls were selling and he said that when they get them they hit the floor and are gone by the end of the day, they can't keep them in stock (or at least the new dolls, I found about 6 rochelle's there yesterday)

I worry about people breaking out the windows on my car, to steal my MH too!  I've got a very small sports car, with a trunk that holds the convertible top, and nothing else >_<

I think if someone asked me for the doll I walking around the store with, I'd probably give in.  I'm a whimp like that.  Plus, I tend to think other people are in greater need than I am.  Although, I usually don't give anyone a shot:)  As soon as I have the doll I want in my hand, I practically run to the checkout :lol:  I think I shop at odd hours, too.  I'm usually all by myself down the toy aisles, and if there is anyone else there, I'll let them have first pick, so I can shop alone.

The only "interaction" I had with someone was when DotD wave 2 was one the shelf.  A woman was hovering the MH section on her cell phone, wasting my time.  She picked up a Lagoona, and put it back and moved down the aisle a bit.  I thought she was finished, so I picked up Lagonna and looked at her.  I wasn't impressed with her face-up and put her down to think about it.  As soon as I let go she reached in front of me, and took her.  Little did I know, it would be the first and last time I ever saw DotD 2 in stores:(

Man that sucks! I understand your frustation! Thank goodness I never really was seriously into MH until decemberish, I was and funnily enough am still only interested in one of the characters I like- as for lagoona I picked MS and have DOTD stock for her and love her- after all, I wouldn't want more than one lagoona fighting for my Gil!

I had a lady grab a GR that I needed, but I wasn't terribly sad since I've seen them since... had she grabbed the wolf sister 2 pack I went to the store for, I might have pushed her over, grabbed it and ran to check out lol.

If I can't use a trunk, I usually bring a blanket or jacket, put the stuff on the floor, and cover it.  In my mind, that helps deter people that would break in if they could see what was under there lol.

I haven't seen any of the new dolls AT ALL.  It's depressing T.T  I've looked at maybe 5 targets, 2 TRUs, and some walmarts lol.  Signature dolls, but no Venus/Robecca, a few RM, and one TRU up north had 2 of the DDG.  No ST, no GR, no exclusives (I really want the ghoulia that comes with the scooter T.T), no new CAMs.  One target did have the SS 5 pack, tho.  But nothing on my must have list :/

I guess that's good anyway, I have no money lol.  Maybe they're waiting til I do XD

But wtf about the guy going to jail for self-defense.. isn't self defense exempt from punishment? I know here it is. So he could/should have sued the scalper attacking him in the first place.. over a toy.

So... I have a strange doll problem that I wanted to bring to the board. I recently bought a Fearleading Ghoulia to discover that the pink part of her sock has been painted on rather than sewn as different coloured thread. Was this common to her release? The only reason why I question it is that the paint melted all over poor Ghoulia's leg (fortunately it seems to wash off well), and that seems like a pretty dumb design flaw! Has anyone else had this problem? And has anyone had luck washing the paint out of the sock?

So, went to Walmart today, and was super disappointed to find most of the toy shelves devoid of anything interesting. I really didn;t want to leave with nothing in my hands after having walked to the mall and then got on a bus and transfered onto another just to get there, so I left with Adam Lambert's new cd and a hanging head. Not in the greatest mood right now. ;.;

Serious mission time! De-gunk my Rochelle's hair, it feels nasty! I /think/ it might be glue seepage, but i'm not so sure since her hair feels quite greasy even away from the roots. She had a grease stain on her box too when i got her out. So far i've just washed wih shampoo, she's currently drying but her hair feels kind of sticky and greasy still. I'll wait 'til she's dried off and maybe wash again with shampoo, if that doesn't work time for plan B, Twin Pines formula 9-1-1. Anyone tried it? I remember reading good things about it and am really hoping it'll kill the glue seepage gunk, Anyone have any tips?

Checked on Rochelle now she's dry... Well shampooing made it worse (as expected), it seems to have spread the gunk further down her hair, i'm skipping shampooing again and will move onto Twin Pines tomorrow. I guess the good thing about the shampoo spreading it is i can maybe soak the lengths of her hair in it without having to worry about it getting into her head. I shall see how it goes tomorrow, wish me luck!

I bet they're asking about if the second Abbey have the new joints för the part where the legs meet the torso. The earlier dolls have stringed legs :) and the later...starting around the release of Toralei are joined by plastic.

Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: pukunui on July 28, 2012, 06:20:36 PM
Yeah, that's probably what they're asking about: whether the hip joints are elastic or plastic. I remember someone saying that all dolls made since Skull Shores have had plastic joints, but that's definitely not the case because my new signature Jackson has elastic, and I've had two Mad Science Lagoonas now, one of which had plastic and the other elastic. Oh, and all the dolls except Frankie in my Gloom Beach 5-pack had plastic hip joints. So it seems kind of like a luck of the draw thing at this point.
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: LiquidCyanide on July 28, 2012, 06:22:48 PM
As far as i know first and second Abbey have the elastic (can confirm second does, i have her) But the latest Abbey that comes in the same assortment as Rochelle has the new mechanical joint (I'm not 100% on this but i think i saw it somewhere)

Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: Icicle on July 28, 2012, 06:32:50 PM
If you pull on the leg (gently, of course, like you were gonna pose it) you can easily tell if the joint in there is elastic or plastic, there's quite a difference in how it looks.

Out of all of my dolls, I only have two with elastic, my SS Lagoona and my Basic Jackson. While out of my fiance's three only his Mad Science Lagoona has elastic hips.

Yeah, you can pull elastic joints out of the socket as it were, whereas you can't really do that with the plastic ball joints. You can also tell just by spreading their legs and looking in the gap, although you can't really do that if they've got pants or tights on ... you'd have to pull them down a bit first.

The MLP stuff was actually found at a Target in Ann Arbor after we got back

Oh, and thanks to a member on here who mentioned finding Venus and Robecca at a Love's truck stop, I stopped at one when I spotted it on I-75 (exit 67, just south of Toledo, if anyone is around there). There were 4 of each there (3 of each now), and a bunch of new DT dolls as well

Yeah, I know. So random lol. They were $24.99 instead of $19.99, but after visiting pretty much every Walmart, Target, Meijer, and Kmart on the highway between Mason OH and Ann Arbor MI and seeing TONS of Rochelles and Jacksons, I was okay with paying that  :lol:
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: Icicle on July 28, 2012, 08:56:44 PM
$24.99 is still cheaper than $50+ :D!

I'm getting so anxious for going out next Saturday, since I'll hit up at least two Targets and TRU and at least one Walmart that isn't my local one... so I REALLY hope one of them is waiting for me. Otherwise my voucher will go to I <3 Fashion Abbey if my TRU has her or ST Clawdeen if either Target has that.

UGH!!! Hurry up UPS! I can drive from SanDiego to home faster than you're shipping my dolls. Uuuugh. *rolls around on the floor in a state of distress* And they don't update where the doll is every day. Rather it's like 'oh, hey... It's been a couple of days..

I'm afraid of what I might find if I start visiting these stores after the resets.  My husband and I will be entering a financial crisis soon (better to know about it BEFORE it happens, I guess) so I should probably stay away:)  I know I will not have the willpower to pass on anything. 

What do you guys think will be clogging up the shelves months from now?  What should I buy RIGHT NOW for fear of missing out FOREVER!!!!!?????!!!!  Keep in mind, I've been in this from the start, and I still can't predict what the shelves are gonna look like any amount of time in the future (except that they'll NEVER have what I need :lol:)

In regards to Toralei, no one knows... Some of the earlier MH stuff was rereleased, but that was mostly to allow people to get some of the dolls that were released before the line was very popular. Mattel did trademark the name "Catastrophe" for their super hero line in 2013, so maybe we'll see another Toralei? (Or will it be Caterine?). Sorry that you didn't get a concrete answer from me!

I had no idea she existed as I got a wave 1 Draculaura back when they were released, and then did not even think of MH until I got a Killer Style Frankie for my birthday in early may.

as far as I know, that's a yes - just because that's what her cartoon character looks like... shimmery.  it's not a glitter that comes off, though.  it's ingrained in the plastic, and you can just feel it when you touch her.

I am right here with you. No Toralei :( I'm also hoping for a re-release.... they did it for Spectra.....
I'm also hoping for a Ghoulia signature re-release and a Lagoona (wave 1 or wave 2) re-release.

Dinobuzz:  I looked through my bookmarked MH sites and don't have that one :(  I second the need for that link guys!  I've also got a doll with a bum leg.

Abbey's SS release is a bit more glittery than her other releases, I've heard.  They all have the glitter, but as you said, SS seems to be slathered in it:)

As for Toralei, I think you're out of luck for the moment:(  I don't know of any plans to re-release her, but the 2012 re-releases came outta nowhere, so there's hope!  Just stalk this thread.  If she comes back, you'll hear it here first:)  We've got some "in the know" people here.  Because of them, I've been able to get quite a few dolls.  And there are lots who go the extra mile to get you what you need:)  You'll LOVE it here.

I just need a minute to pout:(  Not having Scarah makes me sad.  I keep checking ebay, and she's going for $90 to over a hundred EVERYTIME!  It's not that I don't have the money, but I can't own a hundred dollar doll.  I'd want to take her out of her box, and if I pay $100 for her, that's not going to happen.  And I'd always look at her and ask myself 'what have I done?'  Almost 5 times the purchase price?

I'm gonna make a custom Hoodude, because in all honesty, I think I can do better.  In my mind, if I can pull this off, he'll be posable too:)  Maybe I should look into snagging Scarah all by herself?  No.  I need the box art and diaries too:(  Curse my self diagnosed OCD:)

Sorry guys:(  Just had to vent alittle.  Is anyone out there still looking, or is it just me?

I'm having a opposite and quite unfair problem I'm afraid :/ I managed to snag Scarah on mattycollector, but have since found that I don't really like her or hoodude. I'm considering finding someone to trade with since I'm still looking for Robecca, venus and ST Clawdeen. but then there's the question: Should I sell her first or trade her plain off. And if so, for how much? I do agree she's going for crazy money on ebay and it's unfair to many collectors looking for her, but I'm not made of money either and could really use the money to get the dolls I really want. I regret getting her in the first place :(

Oh Scarah, what curse did you bring with you!?

I'd say $80 would be fair MIB.... As for Robecca and Venus, that isn't really a fair trade on your end, considering they retail for £16.99 in the UK and $24 in the USA, I think I'd suggest waiting it out for R& V to reach you, then buying. As for Scarah, Id put her on ebay with no reserve starting at 99Cents, I find they always attract enough attention to get more money than you had bargained for, that's what I would do :) xxx

You're not alone! I purchased a Scarah from someone, but I'm not sure if I paid in time. I had to go trough a lot of trouble to get the money on my paypal, I just missed $0,40! I can't get a confirmation email either, because apparently the seller doesn't ''work'' on holidays? So I guess that's it, because he didn't reply to my email for 10 days now and he usually replies within a few hours.

I have a feeling I did miss the deadline though, seeing as I always have great luck.. ;_;

So yeah, I'm half waiting/half searching.

Aw hun, I was in the same boat so I know the feeling! I am really lucky as someone here offered to pick them up for anyone (was about 8 pages back) and I asked if they were still able to and they did, I am trading for one and have bought the other , so I guess I lucked out.

Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: Icicle on July 29, 2012, 11:46:16 AM
What do the ST dolls retail at? Like nearly $25 or something (counting tax and all that)..? Because that would be (guesstimating them at $25 each for an easy number to work with), $75... which doesn't seem.. right. To me, at least. Everyone is so upset about how much she is costing on eBay (around that mark), but fail to factor in that when you trade you still paid money for those dolls. And I wouldn't want to think about the money shipping three dolls would be (assuming they needed to be kept MIB for shipping).

Heh, I think that comes off as me "whining".. but I guess my method of thinking is if people are so upset at what Scarah's are worth after market right now, they shouldn't be spending more than $40 plus shipping on her (even in trade value). I think I just went all derp here and am making no sense.. haha.
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: justkitter on July 29, 2012, 11:54:45 AM
You can easily get $80 for her on ebay.  Easily get a hundred too!  I agree a trade probably wouldn't be in your best interests.  I'm sure you could probably get a good amount from people here too, though (wink, wink)  And if you helped out another arena member, it would give you super good dolly karma:)

I don't know:(  I'd love to take her off your hands, SweetScoops!  But I don't have any of the things you listed to bribe you with.  Also, I want to get the best deal possible on her.  I'd also like a good deal too, though.  If you'd like to talk about it alittle more, feel free to PM me.  No pressure, and I'm a very fair person.  I'm sure we could come up with something that will make us both happy:)

Dinobuzz:  I think that would sound almost fair:)  For the arena, it seems fair.  Out in ebay-land, I think adding one more $20 doll might be fair?  Not sure.  Scarah will be worth so much more in the future.  The ST dolls?  Not so much.

I totally get it....I was just going by the est. of $80 from a previous post by someone who was talking about a Rebecca/Venus trade for a SS. I'm thinking that ST's are approx. $22 (not sure as I don't have a Target)......anyways, I was just curious and decided to ask....

Post by: justkitter on July 29, 2012, 11:59:34 AM
Oh.  I hadn't factored in shipping.  I've never done a trade before :blush:  I prefer to buy things outright.  But still I don't see the ST dolls holding any value down the line.  They aren't Limited Editions or anything, right?  Scarah will only go up in value.  As much as I want her, I suggest everyone who has one hold on tight:)

Post Merge: July 29, 2012, 12:05:20 PM

When the re-releases first hit the shelves, I saw a whole case on the shelf.  The re-release case has 2 Lala's in it.  I swear one had the original wide set eyes, and the other had eyes more like the releases of today.  I'm not sure if this was a fluke or not.  I haven't payed any attention since then.  But I thought it was quite interesting, to say the least:)

Scary tales are $22.99 plus tax, when I purchased my three it came out to just shy of $75 with tax... so a fair price would be $25 each.

Woo-hoo! Thank you so much for mentioning Love's carries Monster High dolls! I grabbed a Venus today and my boyfriend picked me up a Robecca in Ohio. <3 I had to pick up the Robecca I saw at the one near me to admire her... she is so awesome!

I also got Dot Dead Gorgeous Lagoona, the final DDG girl I need until the Wal*Mart 3 pack comes out. Yessss!

Also - a heads up to anyone looking for the new Dead Tired girls, DDG, or GR. Gordmans has TONS of these! I saw around 4 of each doll there. I have never seen such a fully stocked shelf here! So, those of you who are looking for the DT girls - head to Gordmans if you've got one!

I live in Canada, so we don't have Gordman's...or any of the other shops the DT girls are showing up at, for that matter. Sometimes I can't stand Mattel's distribution. I mean, we're right connected to the US! Right on top, like a big misshapen hat!

Ok the results from my experimenting on Rochelle with the Twin Pines formula 9-1-1: It worked! She still has some greasy spots i missed (i was being tight with the formula and eager to finish) But there is a definite improvement! The parts that were covered in alot of formula are 100 times better and my Rochelle had /bad/ glue seepage. I'll fix up the bits i missed when i do Meowlody next. I'll post again afterwards with how it goes.

Did you wash out the degreaser or not?  My Clawd's hair would feel better when I used the degreaser (something I'd never heard of, just bought it because I was tired of looking for the Goof Off 2) but as soon as I would wash it out, he'd feel terrible again:( 

Did the degreaser clean all the way through the hair or just the scalp area?  Again when I used the stuff I bought, I couldn't get the length of his hair clean.

I ran out tonight to see if I could find the RM 2 pack.  Of course I could not because I live in Michigan:)  But I did find, not one but TWO 1600 Clawds.  How random is that?  I went to a Kmart I never shop, so I don't know how long they've been laying around.  I wonder if he weasled his way back into the 1600 cases (here in the U.S.)

Awww. :( If I had the extra cash I would have picked up some to sell to people who are looking... but unfortunately I only had enough for the two girls I grabbed today.
If you think you're going to go back any time soon just give me a shout and I can paypal you right away!

grzankitter: What i did was apply it full strength to the worst parts (near the roots) and then comb it through the lengths of the hair. I kept combing it for a few minutes, added some water and scrubbed her hair with my fingertips, then washed it off. The lengths aren't as clean feeling as the roots but it definately doesn't look/feel greasy anymore. Hope that helped :)

Just as a quick update for anybody near the area or looking:

Angola, IN Wal-mart has Robecca and Venus as of today. I think somebody hit the store before I got there because there was only one of each doll (one was on the "new dolls" shelf, the other was tucked in with the Monster High girls).

The Midwest is finally being distributed to, yay!
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: Okiedokieloki on July 29, 2012, 07:22:28 PM
quick question about Robecca... is she supposed to not have those little edges on her knee joints to keep her legs from bending all the way forward?
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: aellos on July 29, 2012, 07:23:34 PM
Wait, yours does that too? It's annoying, but I deal with it. It's weird.
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: rayedelsol on July 29, 2012, 07:26:38 PM
Mine does that too, and the other one they had in the store was also lacking those stops on the knees. It bothers me, because she will just randomly be looking like a creepy alien or something.....

Does anyone else keep track of their dolls by the number stamped on their backs?  I noticed today that it seems Mattel is being sneaky and keeping track of the sets for us.  My Roller Maze Abbey and Ghoulia have the same number, and all five dolls from the Skull Shores pack have the same number too.  I haven't noticed this before, so it must be something new.  Anyone else have the same finding?  Just for fun, my SS dolls are all labeled E211, and the RM girls are 1432HF1.  What do you have?

ETA: There are also some differences between the individual release Ghoulia and Draculaura compared to their five pack counterparts. Draculaura has different hair, and her hat now has a pink stripe.  Ghoulia's sunglasses are a much darker shade of green and at least in mine, her hair is much curlier.  I bet there are other differences too, those were just the ones I noticed right away.

I don't want to start a separate thread just for this question so... does anyone have an idea of what would be a fair asking price for a nude first edition Lagoona Blue with her original pearl colored stand and brush? She is in fab condition except she is missing one leg fin. It's crazy, I dropped it while I was messing with her earlier this year and never found it again. Crazy!

Add me to another who has seen this on Robecca, I've had two in my possession so far and they both had knees that could be positioned forward. I've read  from a few other peoples' experiences now that theirs are the same way, so either it's a massive fluke or intentional. I think it's kind of a neat feature since she's a robot.

In other news, I already got my replacement Robecca from Mattel and she's so much prettier than my last one. That was fast! :)

Daw. I love Abbey, and you can never have too many sparkles! I definitely like this promo pic better than the blurry Comic-Con release shots. But I still wish they'd made a boooy instead. I also would have loved a more complicated hairstyle on Abbey. Her hair is amazing, but I wonder if its unique texture limits its styling possibilities...

And I'm still a little surprised they decided to add her to the "over-the-top fashionable of their monster parents!" line. Yeti is kind of an odd choice when they could have gone with Sea Monster/Creature or Phantom or something. Just not as classic Universal.
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: Fräulein_Kim on July 30, 2012, 01:02:54 PM
Lagoona is kind of the sea monster in the main-cast. And I guess Spectra goes for phantoms so they were probably just looking for something diverse from the other main girls. ^^

The glitter of her skin is usually IN her plastic, tho.. right? In that case, if the blobs ain't too close to the eyes, you could take them off with acetone/nail-polish-remover maybe? ^^;

I have to say tho, I like the lips like that. A bit tacky, I know.. but I somehow like it with the outfit. xD;

Haha, I like that Abbey with the obscene amount of glitter. Aside from her over the top lip glitter, I think she's cute. If she doesn't have the weird "sunglasses tan" around her eyes on the actual doll like she does on some other releases, she'll be fine in my eyes. She looks like she took a snowball blaster right to her face, but, erm, in a cute way? xD

Her knees are really loose, but I love her so much anyway! Her face-up is perfect! This is by far my favorite Lala. In fact, I think she's the only one I really like. I like that she's not as pink as the others, as well. I'm going to be taking lots of pictures of her, I can just tell.

My Roller Maze Frankie also arrived. Her hair is a bit messy, so I need to wash it and tidy it up before I start taking any photos of her.

Gorgeous! Love her more understated makeup and curls. She looks great in her fashion pack.

I recently had oral surgery that ended up having some complications and now I'm diagnosed with some crappy jaw problem but today my stubborn other half insisted on buying DDG Lagoona for me as a "get well" gift. I argued about how I felt bad about it but there was no talking out of it, but it's okay because I've been dyyyyyying for her. ;u;
 So yaay, I finally have her! She's so gorgeous and it makes me so happy that I went along with the whole get well soon gift idea even though we're a tiny bit short on money until Friday due to the surgery/hospital bills. I knew I probably wouldn't see her again since we never go to that Toys R Us. >u<

Excuse the whole..Crappy grainy indoor photo on rainy day thing. I just wanted to get a quick picture of her because I was so excited. :cheer:

I'm so sorry you've been through the mill, I completely understand- I had a tonsillectomy and also found I have jaw problems so my jaws get stuck and cannot open past a small point, I'm so sorry you're going through this! :hug:

Your partner is so sweet, he's so thoughtful getting her for you! :lovey: And she is gorgeous! Congratulations! :D xxx

I'm sorry to hear about your jaw problem. Chi:( Feel better soon!
Yay for sweet SOs! Lagoona always looks cute but DDG Lagoona looks especially adorable. What are her earrings? *squints*

On another note I noticed my dog and Clawd look a bit alike in this pic (it's the ears)

Omigosh, dragonlady, your dog is so cute! What breed is he? He looks a lot like my dog, except my dog is black and white instead of brown.

Post by: xkelpiex on July 31, 2012, 12:30:09 PM
Chi--SHE'S GORGEOUS! I hope I can find her thursday when I go to TRU. EXCEPT, if they have the I <3 fashion Abbey; she totes comes first! I'm sorry to hear about your jaw problems ;.; My brother has something wrong with his jaw that he needs braces for, but my dad refuses to help pay for them so he has to wait til we have a spare 5 grand (just typing that made me laugh cynically).
Dragonlady--Oh myyyy! Your dog is a total sweetie pie. and he is totes the Clawd of all yorkies, haha.

Post by: dragonlady on July 31, 2012, 12:36:01 PM
Thank you, she is a cutie:) We're not quite sure what Bella is; we think she's part Yorkie or part Silky (or both). (She's a little shaggy as it was before her trim)

@Ice: Aww. :c It seems like oral surgeries always either cause problems or make existing ones worse. ;_;  I'll be okay. Just have to take pain medicines for a while, sleep a lot with a warm compress and mainly only eat things that infants would eat.. XD

@dragonlady: Wow that's quite a resemblance! How cuuute. C: Looks so fluffy and soft d'awww. <333
Her earrings are a pearl on one side and a pearl cluster on the other side.
Spoiler

They're actually white with a slight pearly sheen, my camera is just hopeless without good lighting so I can't quite capture the detailing.
It makes me wonder why they like giving them asymmetric earrings so often though.

@Kelpie: She is! Probably my favourite Lagoona. *A* I really like Skull Shores as well but this one stole my heart.. ;o;
Last time I went to TRU I saw I <3 fashion Abbey but had to pass on her because I was hoping for Lagoona... And she had some weird lip thing going on, plus I can't justify buying both at the moment. :c She's so pretty though..I love the sweater dress!

Congrats on receiving Draculaura! The photos you've taken of her are very cute, I like how the newspaper fashion pack looks on her.
Thanks.

I also have a Kill Bill-inspired idea in mind for her with that kimono bathrobe of hers. I bought myself a Sucker Punch Baby Doll 1:6-scale katana as a prop. :cool:
You have no idea how happy I am to hear you're continuing this idea! Really want to see this, haha.
Yep. Can't wait for the sword to show up in the mail.

Gorgeous! Love her more understated makeup and curls. She looks great in her fashion pack.
I agree. Thanks.

@Chi: Sorry to hear about your oral surgery complications. I had some nerve damage in my jaw for years after I got my wisdom teeth removed as I'd had complications with a dry socket and with self-dissolving packing that didn't dissolve. Luckily I only had the one on the bottom. I'm so glad my tonsillectomy was trouble-free (had them removed last September).

Chi:  I think that picture of Lagoona is the best photo of DDG Lagoona I've seen:)  Don't know if it's just the doll, or what.  Sometimes the best photos are the quick excited ones:)

dragonlady:  OMG.  DOG.  I think she looks JUST like Clawd!  But I don't think it's the ears, I think it's the fluffy cheeks ^.^  Just want to grab them and give her a smooch <3.  I'm a BIG dog lover, but can't own any:(  We do alot of dog sitting though:)  I love it.

@Chi: I hope you get to feeling better... dental stuff sucks so bad!

@dragonlady: I LOVE your Yorkie! My Yorkie is super big (10 pounds) and people ask me if she is a Silky. I'm almost 100% sure she is just a teapot Yorkie :) I should have kept the photos, but she is always sticking her nose into my shots when I am trying to get pictures of my dolls :)

@Raydelsol: Mine weighs 5.5 pounds; our cat (who is part Maine Coon cat) is heavier and taller than she is!  :lol:

Bella likes to get in my shots too (outside ones anyway)

I was wondering; is there a Flickr set or something that has pics of the dolls complete outfits? I know there's several for Pullips and with all the different MH dolls it would be great to see what came with who!

LOL I love that shot :) It's funny, because Allie doesn't want to have her picture taken [she stops being cute whenever you get out a camera] but she doesn't want you taking pictures of the dolls

Your Yorkie isn't that large at all, but is super cute :)

This probably isn't the right place to ask this, as it doesn't have anything to do with the MH dolls, but I was wondering if anyone here would be interested in these MH erasers I picked up? They're labeled "puzzle erasers"; I guess they come apart?

Anyway, I have a Frankie pack and a Draculaura pack, both brand new. If anyone's interested in them, just PM me with an offer! I'll add a picture shortly.

I bought all three Scary Tales dolls today, and spotted one lone Rochelle on the shelf, which means I missed another shipment of Venus and Robecca!  boooo!
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: Eternia on July 31, 2012, 07:47:19 PM
ugh you guys. I went to target tonight to pick up the new pony stuff. As I was checking out, a lady in the next lane had an entire cart filled to the brim with what looked like the scary tale dolls. (but who knows what who else she had in her cart, prolly venus and robecca as well) Serious scalper there. I should point out that I checked the monster high aisle for novi stars and when I looked through the MH dolls, there were no scary tales on the shelf. she left none.
I don't collect MH, but I really feel for the members here who do. I felt sick watching her leave.
:(

How many collectors from MN? I've noticed that my stores tend to be so far behind compared to other states in getting things released. I'm still on the look out for scary tales dolls :( And the nearest Toys R Us only had one shipment of Ghouls Rule in a long time ago - never been re stocked since (so lucky i got there in time to buy one of each!)
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: octocorn on July 31, 2012, 08:00:28 PM
I swear if I see a scalper carting away Venus and Robecca at this point I'd either offer them $10 more on the spot, or tackle them.  Depends on the mood I think. So if any arena members are in my area loading up a pile of them, and you see some crazed looking orange haired girl coming at you, you might want to move quick.

I'm not shy. I'll bitch them out. Either that, or I'll tell them that there is a sudden large demand for sweet 1600. And grab several off the shelf to see if they do the same.

I'm in MN for the summer, and I'm really having this problem too. I don't know about fashion packs or CaM sets, but the only new dolls I've seen in my area since Rochelle / Jackson first came out, were the signature re-releases. I haven't seen any DDG, RM, new DT, Scary Tales, Ghouls Rule, etc. I'm just worried that they won't come until after I'm gone. Philadelphia does get new dolls earlier, but of course the city seems to be full of other collectors (or scalpers? :o )

I live like, 40 minutes from there! When Prismatic sent me my :muffin: Pony it took less than a day for her to get from Coppell to me. Uuuugh... I swear if they don't show up tomorrow and don't at least update with 'arrived at A*** sort facility' I will be sorely tempted to drive down to Coppell and yell at someone. Meh.

I just got a Rochelle from walmart, and was wondering what size doll skirts would fit? I'm also looking for where I could find a black ruffled skirt for her that isn't too pricey, most I seem to find is ones for $17 and up and thats too much for tiny doll clothes I think.
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: Gingerbread on August 01, 2012, 02:27:09 PM
Bratz skirts fit quite well if you don't mind them being a bit on the short side. Some have a piece that goes between their legs to keep the skirt in place but that's easily cut out. Barbie skirts fit if you're not averse to putting a couple of stitches in or getting creative with some fabric glue :)

I posted a few days ago about Twin Pines Formula 9-1-1, it cleaned my Rochelle's hair up nicely, its soft and fluffy now :) It's only a temporary fix though theres no garuntee the glue won't continue to seep out :(

Got Howleen today... Not sure how that happened, maybe something to do with her being £19.99 at Argos (quick UK people, to Argos!) XD I went to get ST Clawdeen but the two they had had bad paint jobs, so i left with the wolf sisters. Howleen has slightly messy paint on her eyes (which i don't think is too noticable and its better than them being wonky) and the dreaded glue seepage. I mostly bought her for her stock but she's growing on me, i'm going to de gunk her hair and restyle it, see if that helps. Clawdeen i'm less enthused about.... i may end up selling her nude :huh:

I took Threaderella's hair down, and omg amazing! Did you guys know there is a big block of white foam supporting her hair up like that? Soooo gross!

And I'm hoping this helps to give Venus some curl...

Threaderella's hair ended up falling just like GR Frankie's hair in the pic below. As for Venus, the hardest part is waiting. I'll leave her hair like that at least until the weekend. It'll probably end up more wavy than curly, but who knows.

Just a couple more weeks now, and we'll all be together again in my new place... unpacking them is going to be like meeting my whole collection for the first time, I'm afraid. XD

I just tried to order torsos from Mattel to Finland.. didn´t work.
I don´t know if I did something wrong but site says error about address. I tried my own and then my mothers but no, they don´t ship to my addresses :huh:
On help section, there is all the countries they ship and there is Finland but it doesn´t work. So disappointed, I really want that set.

Could someone from US, who is gonna order torsos, add 1 set for me to your order and then ship it to me? I will pay with paypal. Please send me a PM if you can do this! :) 
I found help :hug:

pukunui: Oh awesome! That lipstick-colour really suits her! Dang, you guys make me want to own a Lagoona so badly. I just cannot decide which one yet. :<

picklepud: IT DOES! ..and I don't get it either. Why list all the countries and getting my hopes up when they won't even ship toys here. IT'S A TOYSTORE!! What DO they ship? x^x
And it does not even include electronics or something.. (not that we would have restrictions for THAT. But well, I'd get why they might be cautious with those.)

rimmu: It's not your fault, dear! Everyone with a non-US address gets the same failure apparently. I don't get why they list all our countries when they won't ship here, tho. :7

I guess we have to depend on the kindness of our fellow US-members here once more. :heart: ^^;

Thanks. I didn't like her default lipstick. I felt like it made her mouth look too big. I wiped it off, but then I wasn't able to mix up either a nice baby pink or a teal to go with her eyeshadow/earring colors, so I ended up going with the lavender to match her eyebrows. It's actually not as dark in person. I think my photoshop editing made it a little darker. I wish it was a bit easier to make the paint smooth. There are a few little lumps and smudges on the lipstick. Looks all right from a distance though.

Oh, by the way, my favorite Lagoona is the classroom "Mad Science" Lagoona.

I hit up 2 Targets, one Walmart and 1 Toys R Us and only came up with one Scary Tales Clawdeen.  How annoying, but at least I found something after driving for 3 hours and spending $30 on gas. I also saw the Coffin Bean sets, and almost picked up one, but I only like the Clawdeen and not the accessories.

Sorry guys! I really thought there'd be something out there!  I did hit up Fort Collins, which has the most stores. Someone probably got there before me, as they had lots of Rochelles left.

Exactly, it's really not hard for a large international business to ship outside its own country. If Twin Pines of Maine can ship some stuff to me, so can Mattel!

I can see about trading if anyone is interested. I'm pretty sure we have Sweet 1600 Clawds at my local stores. I know some people were finding it difficult to get him. I don't mind if it's uneven value. Obviously, I can also just charge the bill to my paypal while shipping to a US address, and then send the cost of shipping the item to me. But trades are fine too!  ^.^

Part of me wonders if Mattel is really stupid enough to think that this is a 'niche' thing. That not everyone wants the parts missing from the add-on sets, and that potentially opening it up to international customers would be some sort of loss. Of course, we're all smart enough to know that isn't true (since there are so many people internationally on here and in the fandom in general). I honestly wish I was able to pick up a few to help people out.. but I can't ;________;.

Yeah, when I saw it I was "Eh... 7.99.. plus what the packs cost... so I guess it's okay for a full do---- OH THAT'S FOR ALL OF THEM HOLY CRAP WHY IS IT NOT THE 3RD I NEED THESE NOOOOOOW". I'm just happy to know I can finish my dragon once and for all, and I can actually make my ghost!

For the torso pack:
They cap it out at 2, I guess to combat scalpers.  But it makes it impossible to meet minimum amount to take advantage of some deals. I couldn't even find enough stuff on there worth $50. The site is full of junk I dont want.  Why are all the mattel items on my wishlist not being sold on mattel.com?? 

I will have some extras as well, since I purchased all those other torsos in the past >_<  Mattel really sucks that they didn't think of this at the start. 

Wow I am such a negative nancy LOL!

I doubt sanding is necessary, the head is made of vinyl. Acetone should do the trick, it won't harm the head material. It IS indented, though, so there will still be a bump on her forehead.

They are but they're on clearance and the guy i spoke to said they weren't getting in any more deliveries of them currently.

Hmmm matching torsos *attempts to ignore them and not be tempted by CAMs even though the dragon is seriously awesome*

My birthday is tomorrow, no surprise monster goodness though sadly since i'm picky and like to choose my own dolls. My dad is buying me a display cabinet for my collection though which i'm super excited about. I have finches and their feathers get everywhere, i'm constantly paranoid about my poor monsters living on the shelf getting covered in dust/feathers/birdseed XD

I've had a little play with Howleen's hair today and firstly WOW it is sticky, it has the strangest textured, it feels edible XD I'm liking her alot more now, i've pulled her 'fro back into a sort of bun that shows off her cute little ears better, i'm going to wash it when i get chance.

YES YES YES YEEEEES! I bought my Skeleton Girl parts yesterday and now this. Awesome. And they ship to Finland. <3 Mattel, take my money, take it all!

They do? I thought someone here earlier said that they are from Finland and it doesn't work? It would be great if Finnish fans can get their parts, but...

What. :I Because their site obviously says they do ship to Finland. SAIKO! I'd be willing to join your torso splitting group... Or whatever. That sounded bad. :'D I only need the Skeleton Girl so we'd only need to find someone in the US to help us with shipping and splitting. :)

The skeleton girl is the only one I don't want! :D I'd be happy to either split with you or send her on if someone could be so kind as to get a pack for me.

I seen a load of new dolls today, but none of the elusive two.  Target has Scary Tales, GR and RM but no signatures whatsoever and WalMart has a bunch of the older signatures like Operetta, Abbey, Nefera and Rochelle.  Meijers in my town never gets anything new in and still has the same old wave 2.0 Frankies and Cleos  and wave 1 DT that have been there since last summer.

I had to bring home GR Cleo since she is the first Cleo that I really like.  I wish I had enough money to pick up some extra dolls to sell/trade onto other members here but I've been short on cash after taking a week off from work to go on vacation.  It makes me feel bad, knowing how many people are looking for some of these dolls.  Maybe next week if there are any left and if I have any extra money left over.

For those who are still looking:

Target in southern Ft. Wayne, Indiana has the Gloom Beach 5 pack (the newer version), Skull shores girls, all 3 of the new Scary Tales, and Ghouls Rule Cleo (I know they had bunches of others, like the 2 torso CAM packs and 1 CAM male pack, but I didn't look very thoroughly.)

Kohl's in Ft. Wayne, Indiana has Cupid, Spectra, tons of Gloom Beach, Skull Shores, and all of the Roller Maze singles.

Wal-mart in Angola, Indiana has restocked and has tons of Robecca and Venus out.

Would it be too much to ask to have Mattel sell more torsos?  I want, no NEED, a complete Nocturnal set.  I'd like to see them make a series 2 torso set with the others that are missing.  No more drilling out dolls!!!!!!!   Yay!!!!

I'd be interested in Venus if you can sell her for retail + shipping.  You can debox her too as I don't keep dolls mib or even save the packaging.

Did a little bit of running around today.  I did find a couple of things (the 2 new CAM Lab add ons, and Lala w/bath) but I found alot more empty shelves than anything else.  All the clearance items are gone, and none of the new stuff is out:(  At least I got to see shelf TAGS for the things I need:)  That's promising.

I THINK the Targets around me have had their resets?  The MH sections have been cut down badly to make room for all the new lines.  I saw an 8 foot section crammed with Bratzillas, MH, Novi Stars, and Bratz.

One store had the new Bratz dolls with 2 wigs included.  I was tempted by the one with the lemon yellow curly wig, but the quality of it seems bad.  I could see the scalp color coming through the yellow color of the wig.  It's a shame too, cuz that wig! <3 <3 <3

..even tho I might still buy the custom skelly torso at PlasticCurves and use the white body for my torso-less werewolf CAM I got from ebay for cheap. I hope the mismatch won't be too bad. ^^;

Oh!  The three eyed ghoul.  I forgot to say that her third eye is easily covered by a wig with bangs!  The bangs hang too low and cover it up:(  It limits her hair options really.

If that isn't good enough (it's still there, staring at me!  I can feel it :lol:) you could remove it with acetone, and repaint it as something else.  I remember a BEAUTIFUL custom with the three eyed ghoul's head on a Holt body.  The third eye was a symbol instead of an eye.  If anyone knows what I'm talking about and can find a link (I've been searching for way too long.  I give up!) please help me out.  I'll look again later.

I'm still waiting for that too, Kim:)  There is always gonna be a torso-less girl laying around, might as well order from Plastic Curves, and use the extra parts for someone else:)

They posted something about putting the upper limbs on hold because Mattel was gonna release a Skeleton Doll (Skelita) but I don't know if that's because they'll just mold their's from her, or what?  I wish they were a little bit more clear about their plans:(  We may be waiting for something they might not make. 

If they are going to mold Skelita's limbs, I think I'd rather wait until then......They said they would still try to make their own, because Skelita wasn't going to be released for a long while.

£16.99, but she is in an assortment full of Abbys and others- meaning there is no certainty she is still available, there are hundreds of signature Abbys, too many! But it is possible they are still in :)

I don't think they ship international. And you cannot check her availability singularly as I said before- she's in an assortment, you'd need to go into an Argos and wait for them in person to go and bring you what they have :huh:  I did it with Venus & Robecca a few weeks ago...

Iihh, I took down DDG Spectras ponytail and started combing the hair out, and now I'm covered with hair. I'm a bit scared to wash her hair now and so because I don't more hair to come out...

I've straighten Ghoulia's hair on low setting, and it is made of the same stuff as Spectra's. I just put my straightener on its lowest setting, and it took to it very well! I've done the same to Venus's hair, just to get out any kinks from packing. You should be safe with Spectra.

Went to TRU today because I had a giftcard. I went with the intention og buying DDG Lagoona, or V or R, Well, we got there and they had almost every doll BUT those three. I even made them search the hidden shelf on top and look through their inventory on the computer. Nothing. It took a half hour to get there, too! I was so disappointed. But, near my house is a small TRU Express store so we went there. Again. Nothing. They only had a million Operrettas and Neferas. BUUUT, I spotted the mlp wedding castle and brought that home, so I'm at least a happy camper with SOMETHING. I just hope I get more giftcards for my birthday so I can hoard them until I do see 'Goona.

Also, if anyone has a spare skeleton torso set, I need one!

Also, also, someone here got me a DT Abbey! As soon as I put the sig up, Amenoo, two people pm'd me willing to help! So, thank you sooo much! And it's super cute, to boot. The people on the arena make my life so much happier! ;.; <3

I finally found GR Frankie today! And saw Cleo/Clawdeen but couldn't afford to get more than one. Shouldn't have gotten even one, actually, but I loved Frankie so much :heart: *facehoof*

The torso-pack is really really cool! I'm glad Mattel finally listened, although that took ages to produce for something that should've been part of the sets from the beginning.  :huh: And why no international shipping?  :bawl:

Well, if anyone is going to sell their blue torso+upper-limbs I may be interested...  :)

I recommend to be very careful wit the clear stands, my SDCC Ghoulia's stand broke in the clip part, only because I took her out and it broke, and I did took her slowy  .  :cloud:

Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: justkitter on August 02, 2012, 08:12:37 PM
I see what Mattel was trying to do with the CAMs.  A mix and match type lego thing, that children could customize.  A dragon leg, skeleton arm, sea monster arm, bee head so on so on.  I'm not sure they expected people to fall for them like we have (CAM apreciation thread anyone?)  I'm glad they are slowly starting to realize this, AND making it right by releasing the parts we've been begging for.  They didn't have to do that.  I hope they continue to complete the incomplete, by releasing a series 2.  I don't fault them for not thinking this whole CAM thing all the way through.

I do fault them for not making it right for all of you who can't order them though:(

I'm still on the look out for Ghoulia + Scooter. As well as Robecca and Venus!

Hannaliten - What store did you find R & V at? I travel a lot on the I-405 corridor, but have the worst of luck! I actually saw a woman with a huge shopping cart looking through every MH doll TRU had, I just had a feeling she was looking for the new releases!

Oh, okay! Thanks Pukunui! I've been eyeing an auction for that one, but it went too high for me, since her legfins were missing. If she's re-release I might wait for that and see if someone here can pick one up for me. ^^

(BTW, I also love the MS one! Very pretty! I've been watching auctions for her as well, but I'd want the frog and it seem to be missing quite often. :<)

I just wanna say that I don't think the case assortment is right. As I was at my Wal Mart and the lady was putting out a box of the new girls. It had two Robecca two venis and a Frankie. So I'm not sure what was up with that. Maybe its a fluke. Who knows really.

Here's a pic of the broken stand I was talking about, is the clip part.

I just took Ghoulia out gently and it snapped.  :cry:

I don't recommend using the clear stands for your dolls, the plastic is very fragile since is not "bendable" like the regular non clear stands they are of different material..

Maybe they just had boxes left over? I did some temp work a few years back for on of QVCs packing agencies, and quite often we had large boxes of excess packaging that needed re-labelling so they could still use them.

Hopefully this is the case :huh:

Also, I lucked out and got an Operetta fashion pack for a little more than $2, as it was 70% off :)

Hey guys, is there any way to prevent glue seepage from getting worse?  I know nobody's found a cure for it, but I just got Venus and found a tiny bit of grease on the cardboard behind her head, so I'd like to do what I can to keep it from getting any worse xD

Speaking of Venus, OH MY GOD SHE'S SO PRETTY AHAHHHSGDHAG.  Robecca was also at my walmart and I'd love to go back with some more money and see if I like her enough to get her (provided she's still there), since I didn't really get a good look at her.  Mostly I saw her on the shelf and immediately looking for Venus XD

I have a question/thought:  Can you use the lower legs made by Plastic Curves on official Mattel torsos?  I thought they used a different attachment system or something?  The pictures show ball joints or something, and I'm not sure how they work :huh:

Has anyone washed their Venus yet?  Has the flocking held up well?  I washed the flocking right off my 1600 Clawd:(

I went to TRU today to pick up a dollar item, and ended up spending $130 :shocked:  I found the GR dolls for the first time.  This is on top of the $60 I spent yesterday (at the same TRU) and $50 on gas.  I'm so dead went my husband sees my credit card bill this month >_< 

Oh!  The T.V. just reminded me that I spent $60ish on the new Kingdom Hearts game too.  I'm deader than I thought :lol:

That's awesome about the cheap/clearance fashion packs! I haven't seen any here in a while.

When I was in Florida on vacation I grabbed a Frankie fashion pack for $3 but that was the only one left!

in Other news, saw ST at a target downtown and some GR at various targets.

Walmart had Venus and Robecca and Rochelle too, but not very many left!

I LOVE everything about Robecca. She's just so fancy!

Ugh, I want Venus and Robecca so bad. I have yet to see them in stores. TRU looked like a tornado went through it and they just got a shipment this morning! If my stupid car worked I could've been there this morning to check but alas my car is a piece of crap and the bleeders on the brakes are smoking after having the brakes done :( I want the SS five pack too but after the reset it looks like the targets around me don't even have a shelf tag for them. I really only want the Cleo, Clawdeen and Frankie from it seeing as I already have Ghoulia and Draculaura. I was just planning on returning those two if I found the 5 pack. I'm not sure what the deal is with the distribution is around here. There's usually tons of dolls and there's plenty of new ones but not really the ones I'm looking for... I need patience!

Post by: rayedelsol on August 03, 2012, 03:54:06 PM
That was the last fashion pack they had. When they originally went 30% off, the Frankie and Lagoona flew off the shelf. This box was crushed, so I'm assuming she'd gotten smashed somewhere. Everything was fine in it though. We do not see a lot of fashion packs around here. Mostly just this Operetta one. I would love to see more Fashion Packs made!!!!

Goof Off 2 (discontinued, though it can still be found on the web) and Twin Pines of Maine's Formula 911 works on getting rid of any outer glue residue that pops up. I'd keep both away from any face decals or flocking however, as I'm unsure of how the chemicals may react to the paint/adhesive.


Has anyone washed their Venus yet?  Has the flocking held up well?  I washed the flocking right off my 1600 Clawd:(

I washed and straightened my Venus with hot water but I was worried about the flocking part holding up so I kept the water away from it by rinsing her hair upside down and tilted away.

Ooooooh, Venus is GORGEOUS with curly hair *_*

(Funny how well the 60's filter on picasa suits her, innit? ;P)

I adore the '60s filter! It seems to make everything just right!

Crimson - I found a few at target in renton a few Weeks ago. The other day I found 8 (4 of each) at Fred Meyer in maple valley.

Thanks for the heads up! I was incredibly lucky today and found Venus and Robecca at Fred Meyer! They had so many in stock too! I was able to check out all the face ups! They did not have the Scary Tales girls in yet, but I saw a set of the Ghouls Rule and Rochelle and Abbey. They also had black and white Frankie on sale for $6.99 I think.

Argos still has the werewolf twin pack on sale but I can't afford it right now, stuff is always on sale when I have no money whatsoever! Hopefully it will still be on sale in a fortnight...

Cool, eh? The sword is fairly heavy, so I had a bit of trouble getting it to stay in position. Poor Lala's arms aren't quite strong enough. LOL. And she fell over so many times that her hair has gotten even messier than it was to start with.  :huh:

Venus looks amazing with curls! They make me think of vines launching themselves out of her head  :lol:

I'm assuming no one's seen Venus and Robecca in the UK yet? I don't have any toy shops near me so have to rely on what I see online. I'm kinda hoping they won't be available here for another month as I really can't afford them right now.

Hi!

I went to TRU today, and they only had Ghouls Rule. I went the week before and they also had a couple of Roller Maze, which I guess sold. I was so hoping they'd get Venus and Robecca in, or at least DDG, which I haven't seen anywhere, as it's the first Saturday of the month. I'll try next weekend too. :D

I know this is a loooong shot--but is anyone still seeing Ghoulia's comic book club fashion pack? We found an SS Ghoulia at a local festival in a three dollar bin. It must have put there as a mistake because she rang up reg price, but it WAS in the bin so we got her for three bucks! Actually, I didn;t have the money, so my sister's wonderful boyfriend bought her for me. He is a zombie freak so he likes Ghoulia. I never really took a good look at SS Ghoulia before, but after examining her for a good while I see she is sooo full of gory detail. Sorry if I am gushing, she's my first Ghoulia.

I am so full of joy right now!

Me and my dad have a tradition that has lasted for longer than I can remember - when mom's out of town, I get a toy :D Most people think I'm a bit old for it and all - but when your a toy collector, any chance to mooch of someone is a-okay. So we go to Target... I was expecting to see a SS Draculaura with wonky eyes, a Sweet 1600 Clawdeen or two, a buttload of the MH costumes - but NO! There was the SS 5 pack, Schools out Clawdeen, Ghoulia's Scooter, Draculaura's Powder Room, the Coffin Bean, some 1600 stuff, SS dolls, Roller Maze dolls, and some other stuff! They also had all the Novi Stars dolls and La Dee Das, and Bratzillas, and all the other new dolls that have come out recently. There were other people on the isle so I couldn't freak out and scream "omgomgomgomgomg I need them ALLLLL!"  and throw them in the air but I did jump up and down, squee, then cover my mouth so I don't look TOO phycho XD

I'm really surprised that not a single doll was wonky - no kidding. I grabbed School's Out Clawdeen and ran, she's pretty much my grail. I mean, those shoes! O.O

So um... yeah. You might be like "Ooh... nice. We got all that stuff *looks at watch* about 2 months ago." But this is HUGE for my Target - they never have anything new. I hope it stays like this :D

The three places I went into today had nothing .-.;.

Ugh. Welp... hopefully my Walmart learns the value of restocking soon...

I went today to a couple of stores. The only thing I actively want is bee girl, three0eye girl, and Skele girl, because I got the pack. No luck, but my local Walmart has a Signature Jackson with a smooshed box that has been eyeing me for three weeks. I cannot justify him, because I have the GB version... 20$!

Congrats on your cheap Ghoulia find! I love all the little gory details on that doll too. I need a blood drip bracelet in my size!

I spent far too much money at Target today, but I love my new dollies so...I don't care! XD I found Threaderella, apparently the last Scary Tales doll in the store, and a rerelease signature Spectra! My first signature Spectra has a flaw in her hair, so I reeeally wanted one that was perfect. And I can use her to display her amazing fashion pack. Yes, that is how I'm justifying her to myself. >.>

I also found the sparkly blind bag pony rainbow set! Which is so many levels of adore. My three glittery wave 1 blind bags are practically the only ponies I own, and I had been longing for a whole rainbow of the wonderful little things way before I found out they were actually going to make that exact set devoted to them. <3

Awesome picture, pukunui. Lala looks great with that katana. Very clever idea giving the sword to the Lala who comes in a bathrobe that is a bit reminiscent of a yukata!

Hmm, the Target near my house restocked recently. I saw a lot of new MLP stuff as well as two Scary Tales dolls (Clawdeen and Ghoulia). I was shocked, but the two ST dolls there had perfect faces... I think this may be the first time I wasn't disappointed at all with their paint jobs. Sadly, I don't have any interest in the ST dolls so I left them on the shelf. But still, what a shocker! It gave me some hope that maybe Mattel has looked into their poor QC and made some changes for the better. Hopefully anyway.

Thanks! "Kimono" was the first thing I thought when I first saw the Powder Room Lala, and that immediately put me in mind of O-Ren Ishii from Kill Bill, so it was just a matter of getting the doll and finding a katana that was the right scale. Since the one I got came from the replica Baby Doll figure that goes for like $200, it's pretty high quality. I think it's actually made of metal.

Geez, I love these dolls and the whole MH thing and what they stand for but how can we get excited about new dolls when you just get the feeling that they're just gonna end up will greasey gooey hair? We have vintage dolls that have been around forever and their hair condition is way better!

.....just had to vent.....can't figure out why Mattel hasn't changed the methods of how they attach the hair in the factories in Indonesia or China .....I'm sure they have had a million emails regarding this problem by now......IMO, they should take their time and fix the problem instead of rushing to get 100 new doll characters out within a short peroid of time.  :huh:

Yeah I expect to pay between 15-20 usd for i MIB, and 12-15 for a loose in shipping. But 50usd to ship one MIB doll is not realistic. I don't need them tracked or anything like that.

Sellers on eBay just usually like to have tracking for international sales so they can receive their money sooner and be protected in case of a Paypal dispute being opened. The funds are usually released once the confirmation of delivery is there for eBay to see. Otherwise the wait could be a while and a buyer at anytime could say the item didn't get there/was lost in order to receive a full refund. The seller would have no say in it since the delivery was never confirmed.
I've never had that happen to me, but I've seen some bad buyers giving arena folks a hard time over on the TS forum.. ):

They should have it as an option before you pay. If you choose non-tracked you shouldn't be able to leave bad feedback before a certain time

However, now that her hair is down all of the bald spots that would have been hidden by her old hairstyle are there for the world to see.

Sadly eBay is a buyer's market, and sellers often times will get in trouble very easily (trust me, as a buyer I've won many cases.. though the sellers were at fault, we ended up getting full refunds when we only asked for partials because eBay ruled in our favor). And for some (myself included) potentially having to deal with a buyer lying and cheating us out of hard earned money is not one a risk they're willing to take and will either refuse the international buyers or only offer Express Mail international (and will only ship as the listing shows to safe themselves).

The first time my fiance and I sold internationally it was because someone messaging us, asking if we offered it and they were willing to pay a bit more in shipping to do so. We really needed the money, so we accepted and sent it out in a Priority International flat-rate box (because we were kinda bullied into it). A week or so later we went to check our PayPal for something, and saw it was negative the cost of the auction, and a case had been opened against us. We responded that it was international and it might take a while and all of that... and we were 'losing' the case in the sense the guy kept posting that he wanted his money back... my fiance had to FIGHT with USPS to use the customs number to find out where the heck the package was. Turns out it was stuck in customs (like we had told the guy, and he responded he had checked his customs office)... and luckily we didn't lose the case and our money...

But after that we refuse to ship internationally, under any circumstances, without a tracking number which.. unfortunately is rather expensive. This also especially because I DO NOT trust USPS as far as I can throw them and I want to make sure my packages have the highest possible chance of protection. I know it sucks.. but especially on eBay sellers have to be extremely careful and they are in their right to make sure that eBay can't say they have to fully refund someone because the buyer is dishonest. One bad person can ruin everything, sadly.

Icicle: it's sad that due to dis-honest buyers iy has to be like this :/ I've never had any problem with non-tracked shipping. It's even a greater chance for me to not get the package stuck in customs then.
I'll guess I'll just have to wait until an arena member can get a hold of the ST dolls and ship then loose without tracking :/

Yeah, it is totally awful, I agree. I guess I get a little passionate when people get upset over the shipping costs because I then feel awful because I personally would prefer not to ship internationally, and if I do I ship only with tracking and I feel awful because of it ;o;!

Yeah, it is totally awful, I agree. I guess I get a little passionate when people get upset over the shipping costs because I then feel awful because I personally would prefer not to ship internationally, and if I do I ship only with tracking and I feel awful because of it ;o;!

I do hope someone here can help you! I can't even find them for myself ;o;/

If they weren't target exclusives I could always wait until they turn up in Sweden. But since Target is not in Sweden I have to rely on US sellers

Anyway, I sketched a little, and this turned out. The BFFs on MH ;)

I ship internationally on ebay and offer first class or priority, the buyer chooses what they pay.... and one has tracking one doesnt... it's their loss on whatever type of shipping they pick... and I've never had an issue with a buyer simply because they know what they're doing when they chose cheaper shipping.

and most of the time I'll split a refund if the item goes missing. I also help people out here on the arena and I know international can be pricey, it cost me $15 to ship one doll to germany the other day... but only $12 to ship 9 dolls out of the box to canada. so the country make's a big difference.

Not sure, but I do have a DT wave 2 Lala that I'm not keen on if you want her...

Do y'all think Robecca could be made that way intentionally - being a robot and all? (I dont mean that argumentatively at all btw) I'm not current with MH, waiting on my first dolls still, but it almost seems like it could be an intentional thing in her particular case, like a certain quirk for her specific character. I just keep hearing about the leg issue and it makes me wonder that.
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: gargoylekitty on August 05, 2012, 10:26:54 PM
Yeah, pretty sure that Robecca's weird knees are supposed to be a feature of her being a robot. I think it's cool.

That the folks on Tumblr need to CHILL about these two ships (or at least they did a couple weeks back when everyone was in a tizzy about which ship was better). I'm an almost anything goes sort of shipper, so both options seem cute to me depending on what happens in the MH universe. Though I wonder what the storyline is leading up to because I most certainly do not look forward to a love triangle where everyone ends up hurting each other and causing loads of drama.

I think this might have been mentioned already, but what do y'all think about

CleoXDeuce vs RochelleXDeuce?

I don't think Deuce is going to dump Cleo for Rochelle. Deuce appreciates the fact that he can talk to Rochelle without his shades (plus the fact she's a sweet ghoul) so he is going to hang out with her. I think Mattel just added that angle to cause some drama, personally:P

The "love triangle" has had me wondering though; especially since there's a rumor of one of the students leaving. Thanks to the diaries we know Nefera is coming back, plus Deuce has been seen hanging out a lot with Rochelle; bot being enough to send Cleo fleeing for the hills. Add to the fact that Deuce is in the Scaris line but Cleo isn't, well, it doesn't look good for Cleo! :cry:

BUT Cleo has been included in some recent lines (GR and the SS pack) so I don't think she'll be going anywhere soon. With certain lines (GB, SS, Sweet 1600) Mattel likes to throw in a guy; where Deuce is friends with Rochelle it makes sense that it's him.

CleoXDeuce vs RochelleXDeuce?

I think Rochelle's little crush on Deuce from afar is really cute and I'd like to see their friendship grow, but I'd hate to see Mattel separate him from Cleo because of it. It would just feel odd because Cleo and Deuce were introduced as the first couple in the franchise, we couldn't even purchase one without the other in the first wave. It would reminiscent of when they split up Barbie and Ken all over again. ;)

Playing around with the triangle might be fun, but I don't think it will or should go any farther than that, or make Deuce seem weak-willed and torn over the two.

I kind of agree, but kind of don't- I'm torn, I love everything about Rochelle and find Cleo to be quite a b***h, but that's her character, and she can be quite nice at times, but I do agree with the fact that the two of them were realeased together and not seperately, eesh, they neeeeed to make a boyfriend for Rochelle- Deuce has already been yelled at by Cleo for making a song with Operetta.... I'm kinda thinking Rochelle needs a guy now- really want her to have one. My Rochelle is with jackson, personally I don't like Frankie dolls, so I feel Jackson should be with Rochelle. Meh, just my take.. :)

Amenoo your drawings are adorable!  ^.^

I think this might have been mentioned already, but what do y'all think about

CleoXDeuce vs RochelleXDeuce?

I must confess I didn't like Cleo's character at first, to the point I didn't even want her doll  :lol: She's become a lot sweeter since Toralei and Nefera have taken their place as the mean girls though, and I thought the bit in her diary about not being able to look into Deuce's eyes was heart breaking  :cry:

She did go a bit mad over the Operetta thing but to me that just proved Cleo had insecurities like anyone else. I don't think they're destined to split. Personally I hope Rochelle's crush is just that, and she'll find someone else later. I think Mattel were just going for a realistic storyline- I'm sure most of us been attracted ti someone in the past and then found out they were taken after all. Hopefully Rochelle won't act on her feelings whilst Cleo is Deuce's girlfriend and stir up trouble, but I guess it isn't impossible that they split up and Rochelle makes her move.

Personally I hope they won't split. I figure Frankie and Draculaura change their minds often enough about boys, so I rather like the fact Cleo and Deuce seem to be in a stable relationship.
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion

Thank you everyone ^^

I think DDG Lala and DDG Ghoulia might've become my favourite versions of them. And Abbie my second favourite. Hopefully that won't change when I (if I can) get them.

And i also like Cleo/Deuce. Cleo needs such a calm BF like Deuce with her temper ;)

I think this might have been mentioned already, but what do y'all think about

CleoXDeuce vs RochelleXDeuce?

Personally, I'd like them to keep Deuce and Cleo together. There are many reasons, but the main one is how well they compliment each other. Sure, Cleo may be an outspoken diva, but she's also generous and has a kind heart. She's not a villain (although the first set of webisodes portrayed her that way) and I think she and Deuce balance each other out.  Also, storyline wise, it looks like Nefera is coming back, and I really wouldn't want to see Cleo take two hits in one go.

One thing I've always enjoyed about this line is how not every character is obsessed with having a boyfriend. There are three with canon "significant others", with Ghoulia's possible romance with Slo-Mo being a fourth. But other than Frankie and Rochelle, the others are pretty "whatever" about finding a mate, and I like that. I think breaking up the quintessential couple would change this dynamic a lot. Also, I wouldn't like the implications of a strong, outspoken female losing her long term boyfriend to a more subtle, "feminine" character. So far, they've done a great job of showing different dynamics (Operetta having a platonic relationship with Deuce and Holt comes to mind); Clawd and Lala already portray the jock/girly-girl couple. No need for another one so similar.

My experience with Puma boy has been similar! I did find one Ghost girl set for myself, about a month ago - but I've never seen her again since, and never seen him at all. I'm trying to wait him out, as surely they're going to produce more, they're still shipping the original three after all. Maybe they stopped sending Ghost and Puma for now because the new 5-torso pack is intended for the others?

I like the fact that not all the characters are obsessed with finding a romantic partner too. Also, Cleo/Deuce are pretty low-key. Aside from the episode with Operatta, Cleo isn't too full of jealous drama unlike a lot of other characters from similar series.

Also, I have a great fondness for Cleo and I'd really not like to see her be treated horribly for no good reason other than needless plot :( If there was a legitimate reason that she and Deuce grew apart, then I would have no problem with Rochelle/Deuce. However, it would have to make sense, and I doubt there's enough room in the webisodes and diaries to show such a change well.

They look amazing...

*grabs Spectra, the kettle and some curlers*


Just make sure the water isn't too hot. Spectra has kanekalon, and it's more prone to frizzing at really high heats. I believe Mandy says she gets it to about 150 degrees.

Ahh amenoo your Snow Bite art is so perfect! :lovey:

I can try to pick up extra 3-packs if people here need them, if/when my Walmart gets them (they'd better!!) They seem to stock fairly well, I just have to be there at the right time. Hoping they're not going to be too expensive here... the DotD 3pack last year was $35 Cdn but I bet the DDG will be more this year. All the dolls' prices are up--and they were bad enough here already  >_<

yes please X a billion :D :hug:

Too funny! I was so unhappy with my Venus' curls that I gave her a boil perm over the weekend. I have yet to undo the straws, though I know for a fact that her hair will not look anything near as amazing as this.

Post by: Midnight_Dream on August 06, 2012, 08:47:29 PM
Oh my glob!!! I am sooo excited right now because I got the Robecca and Venus I purchased from a lovely member here and I am in absolute LOVE with them! :heart:

I originally was not a huge fan of Robecca, but once I got her I positively adore her. All the little details from her gear shaped irises down to the spinning gears on her legs I am in love with. Even that blue, plastic skirt...thing I adore and I really did not think that I would.

But my biggest love is Venus. She is just....everything I imagined and then some. I just...yeah...there are no words that properly capture my love of this girl. And, you know, with her bright colours I am surprised Mattel did not put her in the Roller Maze line as I think she would fit in really well with that.

Crimson- I believe Venus has kanekalon hair as well. I compared the texture and appearance to my Spectra and they appear to be the same - well, minus the colours obviously.

Also, if you wash your dolls hair when you get them be careful when you wash Venus because if you get her flocking wet it will come off if you rub too hard with a towel or something. I just thought I would throw that out there just in case no one has mentioned it. :)

Where [stores and parts of the country] have Venus and Robecca been spotted? Anticipation.....

I'm in Fargo nd USA and my target had Venus and Rebecca two of each last week!

I was just at the only toystore in my town which apart from beeing awefully over-priced usually have a surprisingly well stocked and updated MH-shelf. And they had (to My surprise) the new MH CAM lab sets. And I really REALLY like the unicorn! ...or the head At least, it was pale blue, wich I love. But the no-lips and no torso it's kind of a deal breaker for me. But what if mattel releases torsos like the other set? I'd love that! Does anyone here got the unicorn set yet? :D

I got the unicorn set, it does have a torso, it does not have upper arms and legs, or a wig.  It's a pearlized pink, so for right now I'm using the vampire CAM pieces on it, but they don't match.  The tattoos....well, let's just say easier said than done.  That unicorn headgear doesn't stay on with or without a wig. It's just too wide for the doll's head.  That blue head doesn't match anything. Mattel, if you're listening, I'd pay more for matching pieces all in one box please!

My Mystical CAM head first attempt:

Now that Mattel has made the torsos and upper limbs available (and hopefully that will continue for the other add-ons), my next wish for the CaMs is wig/shoe/outfit packs! I'd love to have more options for mine, since the regular fashions are so geared to each character.

Oh my goodness yes! Especially WIGS. My poor bald babies. They could certainly use the shoes and clothes too. I'm particularly excited about the upcoming molded wigs - I think those will look amazing and unique, and unlike the other CaM wigs, surely they won't look so messy (and somewhat low-quality :x).

Ditto on the CAM love <3.  I have the most fun with them, I keep all my dolls in stock so I get to ENJOY the CAMs:)  I bought a couple LIVs recently and tried their wigs on a couple of my girls.  I dislike them.  Alot.  They are great for LIVs, but I don't like how they fit MH.  I love the MH wigs.  Sometimes I think I'm the only one.  I see alot of people using LIV wigs, and I just wonder how you all stand it :lol:  I wanna get out the stapler or something!

I REALLY hope they finish off all the newest CAMs too.  I really need (NEED) a full body glow in the dark Monkey.  I've learned to get around most of my gripes with the CAMs, but I can't with this girl.  There are NO extra parts even close to orange, and NONE that glow in the dark:(  Before a week ago, (when the news hit about the torso pack) I was fine with using extra Vamp parts for my Unicorn, but that darn Monkey..... *cry* she needs to be WHOLE.

About the Liv wigs, I glue mine onto my girls. I prefer to keep my monsters in their stock, and I like to pick out a single outfit for my CAMs and keep them in it. So, keeping the wig on permanently doesn't bother me.

I'm thinking of complaining to Mattel about the shipping. It doesn't help that the package sat for THREE days in TN before coming to GA. And UPS couldn't be bothered to drive 7 more miles to my house to deliver it, or at least turn it over to my towns post office.

Mattel should sell loose stands, they'd make a lot of people happy.

They already do. :)

https://store.mattel.com/ItemDetail.aspx?cat=139&item=61638

Oops! :blush:

The link doesn't seem to work for me though..

I have dozens of stands I don't want or need if anyone wants!

I would love some, though I live in Sweden :)

You can have a few for just the cost of shipping if you like.

Oh Yes please :D <3

I'm thinking of complaining to Mattel about the shipping. It doesn't help that the package sat for THREE days in TN before coming to GA. And UPS couldn't be bothered to drive 7 more miles to my house to deliver it, or at least turn it over to my towns post office.

Their actual shop uses SurePost...? Ugggggh. All the packages I've gotten from them for replacement dolls has been normal UPS ground which has been pretty fast and reliable (other than the DT Frankie replacement which they threw literally across the yard because the fence was closed)... bleh.

Speaking of stands.. My Abbey stand is defected. It won't stay down into the base  >_< I try to force it down but it still pops up. Do you think mattel will replace it for it being defected? I might still have the Walmart receipt floating around..

Give 'em an e-mail and see what they say? Worst they do is say you gotta buy new stands off of their shop.

... 4 bucks ... a bit spendy for stands .. i love how it says it can be used with the cleo&deuce giftset ... but fails to mention it will NOT work with Deuce in that set ...

ETA ... gah ... i hate the mattel website ... the link keeps timing out ... but on the main page it gives an option to look for/order "parts", do a search for Monster High stand" and whabam ... they have a black doll stand for the ghouls (not the guys) listed for 4 bucks a pop ...

I was at Walmart today and found some MH folders in the Back to School section.  I only bought one, but the others included one with closeups of the four main girls faces and one with the MH logo that says, "I survived Monster High."  There was also a folder that was just text that said "Drop Dead Gorgeous" in big letters, but not sure if that was MH or not.

Why do they leave Cleo & Clawdeen out so much and when they do include them they have funky outfits most of the time?  Cleo's soooo pretty & Clawdeen has an awesome character/personality...not that I can find too many of any dolls anyway.  Just wondering...

http://voodoofrankie.tumblr.com/post/28977935884/look-what-was-reportedly-found-in-south

There was also apparently a contest held in Mexico to design a MH doll and the winner has been shown  (though it looks to be just a mock up). No word on an actual release or what regions it would be available to.

Edit: Did some further digging and found that only one doll was made of her, which is going to the winner of the contest. Here's a video:

I want that doll.. also I saw a close up of the name on the box and it says "Drawn by" in Portuguese. So I think it might have been somewhere where that is the prominent language.

Walmart success!! Went to buy some stuff with the parents and just decided to pop in on the toys to see if they had started putting the new doll lines out (they have!) and lo and behold--MONSTER HIGH HEAVEN! They had everything buy the rm girls, I swear. I only had enough to buy one doll, though, so DDG Lagoona came home with me^^ Aaah, so happy to fonally have her, though her hair is a rat's nest. Might have to try a boil perm. Without dunking her whole head in the water, of course.

my k-mart has all 4 ghouls rule dolls, the high school playset, and the CAM lab - plus a few of the fashion packs, roller maze, and SS girls.

I looked long and hard at those GR dolls... I finally decided that while they were very pretty, I really need to stop buying duplicates of the same girls... I've just got too many dolls!

I like GR Cleo's eye makeup but that's it. Too bad their eyes aren't decals that you can switch around, right?  ;)

I also like GR Frankie. I might get her if/when she shows up here in NZ (which will probably be in time for Christmas).

I don't know a whole lot about them. They're from Japan and they're little octopi. They come in a variety of different kinds. These ones are meant to double as ice cream scoops. They're pretty hard to find (and therefore on the pricey side). They also have translucent ones that look pretty cool. I got them because they put me in mind of Cthulhu and I thought they'd make for good Monster High photo props, so expect to see them in upcoming photos!


Oh, and the DT Lagoona that kamakazee82 sent me arrived this morning! She is adorable! I love all her accessories. The hydration station was too heavy to ship straight here, though, so she is sending it to my parents who will bring it down with them at Christmas (along with Lala's powder room).

They are very hard to find. I've seen some on eBay, but they aren't cheap. Supposedly this shop sometimes has them: Kawaii Shop Japan (http://www.kawaiishopjapan.com/product-list?keyword=takochu). Doesn't look like they have any at the moment, though. I got lucky and bought them off a fellow Flickerite for a good price.

And congrats on DT Lagoona. She's real pretty with those pale blue lips.
Yeah. I like her lips too. I know the color is painted on, but is the idea that that's the natural color of her lips when she hasn't got lipstick on?

Killer Style Lala is the same as Gloom Beach Lala, just FYI. And you can buy embellished versions of both Killer Style Frankie and Killer Style Lala's outfits as a separate fashion pack. So if you can't find the actual doll, you could always buy a GB Lala and the fashion pack.

My CAM girls are so happy to have matching bodies and limbs!

Mine feel the same way! Srsly, I went from having...four? complete-bodied CaM girls, to TEN. It's so exciting! I honestly feel kind of silly for how much joy the Mattel torso & limbs pack brings me.  :blush: It's perfect, and SUCH a huge value. When I first saw the sale page I seriously sat there for a few moments thinking to myself, "Okay, $8 a torso, so I'll get a white and maybe a yellow..." until it dawned on me that miraculously that was the price for all of them. I immediately bought two sets! (I love your picture, by the way.)

Pretty much the only (very small) downside I've encountered is that now that I've gotten so many useful parts for about $10, my mind kind of balks at spending $13 on the CaM lab add-on packs, with their ugly blank heads and small number of matchless lower limbs, when they don't even come with clothes, shoes, or wigs - which would actually be useful! (The non-lab add-on packs still seem worth it, since they do.)

For anyone in Canada who's still needing the werecat twins, they're up on toysrus.ca but currently out of stock. But things usually disappear entirely from the site if they're TOTALLY out of stock, so might be worth keeping an eye on them in case they flip back to in stock.  ^.^

Monster High should release a Heath Burns doll!
How cool would that be? I did hear a rumor that he MAY be released sometime in 2013... I am hoping this is true! Who else would like to see a Heath Burns doll released?!  :iconclap:

I'm still keeping an eye out for TRU Scooter Ghoulia, I hope I find her soon! I'm not keen on store exclusives. Or at least stores that don't stock any dolls. If they actually ordered and put them on the shelves, I'm sure I would be singing a different tune.

I also want to keep an eye out for Khol's exclusive two dolls as well.

High five for us! :D Haha, oh yes, I really relate to your completionisty struggles, as I go through the same thing! I keep my babies stock too, so the CaMs are a really fun way for me to be a little more creative with my dollies than usual, as you've said.

Ugh, that is awful! I noticed the other day when I was fussing with my DDG Spectra that her legs are a bit wonky too.. not.. awful.. but still not good.

how does that even happen if the legs are made from the same molds?
I think it boils down to how the legs are placed into the torso.. so someone on the line working a little too fast/sloppy shoves them in, in just the wrong way to make this work.
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion

try US service then maybe? They helped me when the swedish didn't want to. But if you want a replacement doll you have to have her sent to someone in the US

I had this same issue with my Spectra, except less obviously. She was the original, so I restrung her the best I could..
She's a little better now but her torso seems to be the problem.. The holes are uneven in height, which is what seems to have happened to you.
Yours is really bad, though. That's so frustrating, I'm sorry it happened to you as well. :( I would certainly complain if I were you.. Maybe try the US Customer Service.

I'm thinking about Operetta though. Which one should I go for? RM? DDG? Or try and find a signature one somewhere? Does anyone have a favorite? Pictures would help this decision :) Anyone want to post?

DDG Spectra is beautiful in person, just watch out for her lags. haha.

In regards to Operetta, I preffer signature.
You can do more with her hair, where as DDG her hair really cant be taken down due to the rooting.
But DDG Operetta is stunning.

Heres my sig Operetta...

I don't have the DDG girls (yet ;))  What kind of hip joints do they have?

I fear for the day when I have to complain about a doll to Mattel.  Some people complain about small things.  I'm afraid Mattel will stop being so helpful soon.  Kinda like what happened to Pickle.  He has a BIG problem, right out of the box, and they blow him off.  Others complain about a defect two years after they buy the doll, that has been played with for those two years, and they get a free doll.  I don't get it.

And yeah... it's even worse because I have had legitimate issues with dolls before.. and I've made so many complaints to them I am worried they will start blowing me off just as I get another big one. A few of the ones I got new dolls from were just me explaining the issues, and not really looking for a new doll... ugh.

(I know you aren't limited to one complaint, I just worry, for me, it will be)
I've made multiple complaints and they've taken me seriously about every one of them. I've gotten a couple of vouchers and several free dolls.

The first time, I e-mailed them to say that I had a bunch of dolls that were really floppy and was there any way I could tighten them up. They asked which specific dolls and then sent me a voucher for the RRP for all of them.

I also had a wave 2 Frankie whose arm peg broke inside her arm. They sent me a RM Frankie as a replacement.

I also complained about my Home Ick Frankie, who had glue seepage and a stuck knee. They sent me a new Home Ick Frankie.

More recently, I contacted them about my wave 1 Frankie with the wonky eye. I wanted to know if it would be possible to get a new head, if not a full new doll, but if not, not to worry about it. They sent me an $18 voucher.


Just to be clear, I've never actually *asked* for anything from them. I've always just contacted them to let them know what the problem is and ask if there is anything I can do to fix it. They have always surprised me with their generosity. Mattel USA seems much more willing to address problems than Mattel Australia, who, when they bother to respond at all, either tell you to take it back to the store or that they simply can't help you. Once, with my first Mad Science Lagoona, whose ears were mispierced, they offered to replace her with something else (they made it quite clear they couldn't guarantee what I'd get in return) as long as I returned everything to their local warehouse.

I'll just say that I much prefer Mattel USA's customer service. Not only are they more generous, but they also seem to have better systems in place. For instance, when they do send you a replacement, they send you a receipt e-mail telling you the exact thing they're sending you and when it was mailed and so on. Mattel Australia doesn't do that.

I bought a Spectra that has TWO Right hands... So I sent them an email asking if they had a Left Hand I could buy. They were so nice and ended up mailing me an $18 voucher. I didn't need picture proof or anything. All I wanted was the correct hand, but apparently they didn't have replacement parts for her. That's alright with me, I can supplement my collection with that nice surprise from them.

They sent me the generic "we'll pass along your thoughts" form letter, that's all... no offer to send me a couple of stands... they didn't even ask if they could do anything for me :huh: Not sure what they'd do if I complained about any actual doll flaws but somehow I suspect they wouldn't send me a voucher! :razz:

How easy is it to find Toralei Stripe dolls?
I've not looked, much, but I really want one (or at least will, in a few weeks when I have the money). I love cat girls so I quite want her. I've found the Meowlody and Purrsephone dolls in quite a few places so I'm not too worried about not being able to buy them.

Of course I am not.. a fan of rehairing (...I did one G4 pony custom and I thought I was gonna die with how it made my hands feel) so I have no idea what I'm gonna do with it... but at least something can be done now? Haha. It was at least easier to dehair than a doll head would! Though my thumb is killing me because I used a bum pair of tweezers and my right thumb/wrist is kinda weak (and probably getting the onset of carpal tunnel but that's for a different thread)...

At least in latin america she is being shipped (in three language boxes) , last month we got her in stores along wit Operetta and Nefera, I managed to get mine however they sold out in a couple of days.

In channels like cartoon network and discovery kids they are showing a lot the commercial of this three.

Hi Takoto, even when Toralei was still in rotation I never once saw her in store over here. Tesco online had a few a while back for a good price, but they're now listed as 'currently unavailable'. I'm hoping they might get some stock again one day...

I used to check Tesco regularly, they had them 5 months ago, but haven't had them since, same with TRU. I don't think Mattel are releasing them anymore, meaning stores cannot get stock of Toralei. Your best bet is ebay- I snagged mine for £13 in bids, I was very lucky, I paid £26 for her with TRU delivery, and then saw a cheap one on ebay and bid on her. I won, so when the TRU one arrived, I declined the parcel and since they hadn't decucted my account at the time, they didn't mind and I just sent it back.
Definitely love ebay though!

Just nipped into my local Sainsburies and the had GR Cleo and Frankie. I NEED Frankie...she's beautiful! Even though I only got a fleeting glimpse at her (OH was throwing a mantrum). At £22.99 I won't be getting her any time soon though :( Although Sainsburies currently have a buy-on-get-one-half-price on loads of toys at the moment for anyone else who is interested.

OMG it's been a long crazy day, yesterday. @,@; Sold my text book and got $60 for it, hoping I could save it for Venus & Robecca and maybe some other stuff. Then one of my friends wanted to go clothes shopping at Kohl's once I got out. I had finished my Finals so I wanted to do anything that would keep my mind out of thinking of those wretched finals, so I went. Anywho, while we were there, I knew I wouldn't find anything MH related in the toy section, but I went anyway to look. and OMG Did I let out a inaudible squee when I saw that they had two of each Robecca and Venus!! This was the first time I ever saw them, EVER, so I grabbed both!! I was so excited that I found them on my first try, and I wasn't even trying to find them!! XD But when I did a price scan...Boy did I let out a big F-bomb in my head (I mouthed it but didn't say it). They were going for $35...I know I was planning on using the money for them, but omg I usually buy them for $18-1$9 retail. I wanted to at least have some of the extra money to buy some Liv Stuff, so I caved anyway and bought them. How do I know I'll never ever see them again?? >,> Luckily, they were on sale so they were going for $29.74 so with tax that was like $65ish, but still that's a lot. =_=; I put back the top that I was gonna get as an impulse buy, and got Robbeca and Venus instead. I REGRET NOTHING!!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Although I'm glad I bought them, but now after thinking about the finals, I decided to use them as an ante. If I passed my finals, I keep them. If I failed it, I return them. I also bought a few Liv girls on clearance elsewhere, but they'll also be part of the ante. >,<; This is a pretty good lot for me to get so I better have a good score on them. Why should I give myself a reward if I failed a test, right?

I was aware of this before I got her, but I was still a bit surprised XD It looks hilarious when you bend the knee the "wrong" way, and so painful! In my opinion it makes her knees a bit loose :/ I find her more difficult to pose than the other girls since she has no "stop" for the knee.

So I have checked, and MH dolls are NOT available in Indonesia!!

Really? Hmm, that's interesting indeed! Maybe they know about all the glue problems and they don't want them over there! XD

Yup, and not a bean.

I don't think it has anything to do with the glue issue, more the cultural issue. MH would just make no sense to the Indonesians.
That is strange! You even checked the big mall in Kuta? They seemed to have a good amount of brands!

Should I hold on to them just in case it's a temporary feeling? or put them up for  sale to get money for the dolls I want? I would put them for trade here,  there are others doing the same thing here with the same dolls. I don't want to step on toes.

How long have you been feeling this? If it's just a day or two, I'd probably wait. Maybe remove them from your collection and put them in a box or something. If after a week or two you still feel the same way, put them up for trade/sale. You can always get them again in the future. Even if you have to spend more, it's not like they're OOK or "only 30 made" :) I even do this with things I can't get back, and I rarely have any real remorse over letting the stuff go. Something I learned from my mom, and it's served me well over the years.

As far as stepping on toes; there's nothing in the rules that say you can't sell the same thing as other people on here. As long as you make your own trade/sales post and don't hijack someone else's of course :P

I agree, if its a new thing just wait for a week or 2 more. If its been an ongoing thing maybe it is time to let them go and sell to someone that will have that same spark you once had! :D And don't worry everyone is nice here so I don't think it will upset anyone with your sales! Just make sure your SURE before selling them  :pillow:

After seeing NoDivision's Chubby Kalma picture, I'm actually tempted to getting them now. XD

Hmm, I doubt it will go that far. Mattel is a -giant- in the industry. The worst that will probably happen is a name change on the boxes, so potentially the original boxes become rarer but not the dolls themselves if you see what I'm getting at?

Name change isn't an uncommon thing in the doll industry either, the most recent one I can think of being the original Lalaloopsys being called Bitty Buttons for the first few months of their life.

Don't painc! ;)

I've seen them in my runs to Walmart rather recently, and when I went out with some friends last weekend, so I don't think it's too bad.. and I know for a fact there are scalpers in my area...

Also i have a question to everyone that styles hair. Whenever I see others photos when they've styled the hair looks so soft when it have just been dried. But whenever I wash my dolls or ponies hair it turnes very stiff when it have dried. I am very careful and I rinse all the balsam from the hair , but still it's stiff and need to be brushed out when dried. It also get stiff even if I just wash it with water. And having to brush it sometimes ruins my so hard worked hairstyles >:

Scary Tales!  Figures this lawsuit would involve a line I haven't found yet :rolleyes: 

And even if I stumbled across them tomorrow, I probably shouldn't get them.  I've spent THAT much.  I can't believe myself :shocked:  I'm also shocked my husband hasn't sat me down for a talk yet.

I also have to be prepared for a Scarah, if one EVER becomes available here or there.  There's a custom I've been lusting for as well.......

Kohl's marks up their stock because they assume everyone has their coupons they send out to their credit card holders.  Plus everything is "on sale" practically ALL the time, so you rarely pay "full price."  I have my in-laws (who are super Kohl's shoppers) looking for the Killer Style dolls for me.  There is no way I'm paying $20 for them.  :nope:

There is a Target (not the one I usually go to, but one out by where my therapist is) that has just been restocked, and I don't think their toy section is picked over as much as my usual one. This past Monday I was there and they had the Scary Tales dolls, so I could look again and pick them up for anyone who needs them. I haven't been to my local TRU in a while though, I do know they have the fashion dolls though (the ones that have the doll and like three outfits included).

I'm trying to put myself on a buying hiatus to save up for a trip but so long as I'm reimbursed I wouldn't mind picking things up at all :)
Same thing goes with ponies I guess, my stores are pretty good at having stuff lol.

This is my husband who cares nothing for my dolls; my husband who I didn't think knew a Spectra from a Cleo. I almost fell over laughing :)

Okay, maybe it was one of those "You had to be there" moments :lol:
Hahaha, I've had moments like that with ponies!
I was cleaning a pony and "Why is Applejack in the sink..?" "YOU KNOW HER NAME?"

:) Thanks, I thought I was the only one :)

Also, I feel you guys on the spending spree. I had extra money coming in for the summer, and it has dried up [well, dollied up] and now I have to learn how to not buy a doll every two days or so....
You certainly aren't the only one! When my fiance mentions something about ponies or dolls that I said in passing I'm just "asjkhgasdgsagd YOU REMEMBER THAT?"... it's even more adorable now with MH because he has a slight interest in them, so he actually shares the hobby with me. It was beyond cute when he was looking for a Frankie for himself :3c

If anyone is looking for the Sweet 1600 version of Cupid my WalMart has a bunch of them, so I would be willing to pick one up for someone if they wanted.

I don't think we have anything to worry about just yet, but apparently Mezco Toys has lodged a trademark infringement suit against Mattel for using the same name as one of their Living Dead Dolls spinoff lines (Scary Tales):

I couldn't read the full article, but that's kinda scary! D:
I hope nothing bad happens with the scary tale dolls.

Hey what's up with the random pastries in my comments?!

If Mattel loses the lawsuit, it's possible they'd have to recall the line, but I doubt it'd come to that.

my three Lagoonas (http://www.flickr.com/photos/pukunui81/7765165558/) by pukunui81 (http://www.flickr.com/people/pukunui81/), on Flickr


I thought School's Out Lagoona was the most gorgeous MH doll of them all for the longest time. She was my holiest of holy grails. I managed to get her in a trade, but once I had her in hand, I found I didn't like her that much. Her hair isn't all wavy like it is in the promo pic, and her lipstick made her mouth look too big. I wiped it off and repainted it and that has improved things. I still found that I preferred Mad Science Lagoona, though. I thought she was way prettier. Then, just recently, I got a Dead Tired Lagoona and now she is my absolute fave! Whew!

Post by: Sapphire-Light on August 12, 2012, 06:11:56 AM
Now I feel odd,  I don't like DT Lagoona,  mostly because of her short hair and color of the makeup.  :huh:

Lagoona is the most scarce doll here were I live, I have only seen the DT one, but when I went to vacation to California this year I got a ss Lagoona and she is so pretty  :inlove:

From the pics my fav is the dance version fallowed by the science, sadly I have never seen them.  >_<

Ooooh I knew this would happen. As I collect Living Dead Dolls as well I thought of them instantly when Monster High brought out their Scary Tales line. I think they'll most likely just want some of the profit Mattel made out of them and for them to change the name though.

My little brother (who I spoil A LOT) just called me because he's with my sister in southern of Sweden atm and went into a toystore to get me a MH doll XD I don't think he should spend his allowence on me but he was really persistant and apperantly bought me a doll and made me promise not to buy any doll until he gets home so I won't get a double. He's so sweet and I'm sitting here with the biggest smile on my face :3

Best part is, he totally got everything I was saying and could even tell me wich dolls the store had by reading the boxes (which is something my sister would'nt, she would just try to describe them O__o which is hard for me to translate!)

Cutepie <3 I'll have to treat him to the cinema when he gets home!

Yes, is the dance dawn one  :blush: I just wrote dance since I don't know how to make it shorter since now we have the dot dead ones, so "DD" can be any of the two.  :blink:

About the tales dolls, I was thinking on Ghoulia as sleeping beauty could be named like "Sleeping Zombie" or something since she is slow, Cleo sounds a good idea ( I didn't think on her since she is the queen in Snow Bite)  hopefully she could come wit a sarcophagus.

Lagoona could be Ariel, Operetta or Spectra as the beauty but not sure who could be the beast.

Of course Abbey as the fairy goodmother and the pinces could be made, I will be extremely happy wit Holt as a prince like the one in the comic wit Frankie.  :inlove:

Who would be Tiana From the princess and the Frog? I was thinking Lagoona for that because she loves frogs :P She also seems to be perfect for the little mermaid... Also, who could be Repunzle? Rochelle as Repunzle Goyle :P

The Beast would be good if Clawd played him! :D

I cannot stand how my CaM set only has 1 torso. They really should have put in 2! Now i can only make one monster because i don't have torsos enough  :pullhair: loose they're quite expensive on Ebay (like, im not gonna pay $20 for only a torso. I could just buy a doll for that)

What is the other torso you need?

Oeh, missed this one! I needed the dragon one, it's not in there :( But swordpony is so nice to help me out here and buy the extra torso pack from Mattel. I could not get it myself as i'm not in USA :)

SO much to comment on:

The Witch/Werecat CAM set are all hard headed, so if you are thinking about re-hairing a witch, be ready for that:(

I'd love for more Scary Tales, but less Disney related stories.  BUT Lagoona as the Frog Princess is just PERFECT!  I HAVE to have this doll now.  I will feel incomplete forever if this does not happen.  She could come with a 3 eyed frog, and obviously after she kissed him, he'd turn into Prince Gil!  OhpleaseOhpleaseOhpleaseOhplease Mattel, DO THIS!!!!!

My Beauty and Beast pick would be Ghoulia and Slow Moe!  Just saying:)  But, as I said before, I hope they think outside the Disney box.  I'd like to see anything else.  Don't get me wrong, I love Disney.  I just don't want anyone saying MH is ripping off Disney.

Plus, I'd like there to be less "Princess" tales, and more other types of tales.  Hansel and Grettel, the Princess and the Pea, etc.  Everyone knows the Disney stories backwards and forwards.  I wanna see other tales see the spotlight:)

Little Red Riding Hood isn't a Disney princess. My point, though, was that most, if not all, of Disney's princesses and their stories pre-exist Disney by a long shot. You can do Rapunzel without copying Disney's portrayal of her in Tangled. Same with all the others really.

As an aside, someone above mentioned wanting to see Lagoona as the Little Mermaid, which put me in mind of Lagoona's diary entry in which she talks about being able to go on land without having to give up her voice.  ^.^

My uncle and aunt got here in the afternoon, surprised me with this doll! I was quite moved with this present, seeing as they don't have much money. I honestly feel a bit bad, but it's so terribly sweet of them.

I went shopping with my dad and sisters. My little sister found this Monster High magazine. I have no idea how she spotted it, because you only saw the upper left corner, she shouted; ''TIFFY LOOK! MONSTER HIGH BOOKIE!'' It's a really cute magazine, I especially like the posters!

That pie looks SO good!  Also, I'm crazy jealous of your Scarah/Hoodude.  I've also been wanting a second Operetta on and off (right now on :lol:) 

Could I just have it all?

Awesome haul, Tiffy!

Thanks Puku! I always almost type Puki for some reason, haha.

That pie looks SO good!

It was delicious! I've been wanting a cherrypie for two years or so, so it was great to finally eat one again!

I was really surprised with Scarah and Hoodude! I knew :muffin: Pony would come in the mail, but my dad and I thought something went wrong with purchasing Scarah. So when she was in the same box as :muffin: Pony, I got super happy!

As much as I love sharing, I'm afraid I'll have to decline that offer, haha. I'm way too happy with all of them. xD

I love Operetta's victory rolls, but her box hair is a bit.. uhm.. wild. D:
Anyone have an idea how I can fix this?

Pie! :D I hope you didn't forget to save the pony before you went extremely nommy on the pie! ^^ Cherry pie is amazing so I can see how the pony could be overlooked X_X lol


Who else thinks Mattel should release a doll of Gory? Even though I don't like her much it seems like she could be a pretty neat doll :P

As for Operetta's crazy box hair... I didn't want to wash mine because I wanted to keep her rolls, so I just brushed her hair a LOT... like, really a lot XD Now it's soft and fluffy in the back instead of gnarly and matted  ^.^

I assume mine isn't the only one like this.  My question is does the non-exclusive Powder Room Playset have painted doors?  Anyone have one or both and like to chime in?

I have a quickie question. My 1600 LaLa's lipstick smudged on the plastic of her box. There's a very teenytiny rub on her lips because of this. It's really not that noticeable, I just examine things really closely lol. Am I better off leaving it alone, or trying to mix up some acrylic paint to match? I'm afraid of making it worse by trying to fix it.

If it's not noticeable if you're unawere she has it, I would leave it as. Better to be safe than sorry, right?

I saw a preorder listing on eBay and I was confused so I just did an image search on google and all kinds of things popped up. A lot of the sites said the images were apparently leaked early?
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: pukunui on August 12, 2012, 10:19:51 PM
Yes, they were leaked early and then Mattel went trawling the interwebs and issuing C&D orders to all and sundry. Looks like they must have missed some. Although, that being said, Skelita and Jinafire were both officially confirmed at SDCC, so maybe they've stopped asking people to take pictures of them down.

Thank you! I agree, Hoodude is awesome. xD
Ofcourse you may, I just went upstairs to get it for you!
I'll list what's in there:

>Information about the monsters, it's the basic info you can find with the dolls. Their age, favourite colour, pet, etc.

>Comics based off the webisodes.

>Quizes and puzzles based off Monster High.

>How to make cute stuff for yourself, such as hairclips!

>Contest for winning a doll (which I'm totally joining)!

It has a total of 34 pages of MH goodness, cute posters and two pages dedicated to ''Horrorscopes''. I also have a feeling they'll include someone's diary every time as Cleo's diary is included, but I'm not sure if it's the same as the doll! I think the magazine is weekly released and it'll come with a cute extra present every week. This week was a monster high bracelet featuring Draculaura and Frankie!

I hope that helps a bit! I wouldn't mind scanning a few pages in and translating it, if someone would like that.

It's pretty cute! I never heard of anyone else finding a MH magazine, but it's really weird if the Netherlands is the only one that gets it..

Totally excited for the contest though, if I'm not mistaken we're able to win Gil (and other dolls)!

:huh: Been looking for a Howleen but can't find her anywhere. Save the ridiculous prices on Ebay and Amazon. I want to finish my Wolf collection since I have Clawd and Clawdeen.

I can't really seem to find one for a reasonable price either, I wish I could find one for you though. Maybe someone here can get one for you?

Yeah, that's why I have a feeling I *should* buy him just for that case. I made the mistake not buying Cleo 2.0 when I saw her in store, and I never saw her again , but I had luck now and found her being sold here at the arena XD


Also, have anyone here at the arena spotted the DDG 3-pack? They are still being super expensive on ebay (seriously 70$+)

I think you mixed two ''lines'' up! There are just your regular fashion dolls, going to Scaris. But in the ''batch'' of pictures that got leaked, they've also found dolls doing cool stuff. Spectra will glow, Clawdeen will howl and Frankie will light up too.

I guess that's what you're referencing too, instead of the Scaris line? Though if you did really mean them, I'm sorry! If they really DO talk, I guess I'll pass then.. I find toys that talk slightly scary. D:

Auugh! Random rant. Toralei was going for about 45$ a few weeks ago, without shipping. I was actually considering paying such a stupid price for her, but I held off because it was expensive, and she's just ONE doll. If you can believe it in one week the price is around 70$, without shipping now.  :pullhair: I refuse to pay that.

I don't think I like that o: Either they will talk all the time which is annoying or there will be some kind of button, which I also dislike o.o

Also I have all the pictures from the Scaris line on my computer, and I checked them, and it almost seems like there will be two lines. One normal and then this "deluxe" line. However in the picture's featuring Jinafire and Skelita, Spectra was nowhere to be seen but instead the Scaris Rochelle was. (Hopefully Scaris Rochelle won't be talking, please)

Either that or the Draculaura, Abbie and Ghoulia will be an exclusive set (Why are ALWAYS Abbie and Ghoulia exclusives?)

I never liked the boy dolls, and if I end up do wanting them, I'd have to go and try to find Jackson, then theres Holt, Gill, Clawd, and that's just too much back tracing and I don't wanna deal with that mess, so in my collection: Boys are forbitted!! (Except for Deuce since he comes with Cleo :P)

Same here. Dolls that talk are all related to Chuckie and that makes them evil and scary.
I just hope that Scaris Rochelle and Catherine deMew won't be in that talk series since those are the dolls I want the most o:

Glad I'm not the only one to feel this way. XD OMG Just seeing/after I saw their pictures is getting me excited to wanna find them!! *Cuts coin slit onto jar cap and superglues the cap on* Got a long way to go and save before they come out. Any rumor when their release date is?

Anyone know a toy store located in New Castle that carries a lot? Especially Monster High and ponies of course!

Still wondering this!

Ha, I just deboxed my signature Abbey, it's my little sisters favourite monster. So I let her play with Abbey, it's such a cute sight!

I'm not sure if we're allowed to post those pictures, considering mattel tried to take them all down a while back when they got leaked. I sadly don't have them in my documents either, so I honestly have no idea. Sorry Sapphire!

I wasnt speaking of the ghouls alive dolls, I can show you where I found the info about Scaris delux talking if its allowed... This is what it says atleast.


NEW Monster High Line of Dolls That TALK
For the first time ever, the ghouls of Monster High are brought to life! They TALK! Yes the makers of Monster High Dolls, Mattel, has put voice on our beloved Monster High dolls. These lovely girls are travelling and their outfits are really cute. Frankie, Clawdeen, Spectra, and two new doll characters Skelita Calaveras, and Jinafire Long are included in this new Monster High Doll Line called "Scaris Deluxe Travel. They are due out January 2013. So collectors stay tuned.

I copy and pasted that paragraph into Google and came up with only one website that had this information listed and they had no sources for it, so I'd take this with a grain of salt to be honest. I'm thinking whoever posted it confused the two lines (Scaris/Travel dolls and Ghouls Alive). The descriptions that were sent out to retailers from the manufacturer mentioned nothing about the Scaris dolls having any electronic features and Spectra also isn't set to be included either of the Travel doll assortments.

Talking dolls would be really cute somewhere down the line and it's probably inevitable before we see them made for Monster High, but I really wouldn't want to see it debut in this particular set. I'm hoping it's just a rumor. :)

I did actually, but at the time she didn't have any interest in it. Now a few months later, she wants it. But I can't get it anymore! ;_;

I'm going to New Castle for a day, just to have some fun. I hope I'll bump into something for her over there!

I ordered a DT Frankie and the re-issue Draculaura, and they were both thrown into bubble mailers and the boxes smashed beyond recognition. Added to the fact I had one of the companies they use to ship stuff out mess up the label for a pair of sandals I ordered so that they ended up getting lost in the mail and didn't show up to me until quite a few days after (because it got delivered to the wrong house), added to the fact that when they sent out my DT Frankie she took FAR longer than she should have to get here (and Walmart's excuse was "Well, we have no clue what company will send these out until they get sent out). I think these are some AWFUL practices, and because they happened to me in a rather short span of time I really do advise people to use caution (or not use it all together) with ordering from Walmart.

Wow, that's horrible Icicle. :( I did a big order of kitchen supplies and video games from Walmart around the holidays last year and had no problems. The packing job was perfect and I got everything in a timely manner. I've heard of so many shipping mistakes when it comes to big chain stores that it makes me wary to put full trust any of them though.
 

Well hopefully we will find out for sure soon! :D Either way im probably still going to get atleast 2 or 3 o.o !!! Although if they do... Wouldnt it be creepy in the middle of the night when you were sleeping and one wakes you by talking~! AHH LOL!!!! GL for DDG 3 pack!

Lol, one of my childhood friends had a talking E.T. plush that used to go off in the middle of the night. I was really young and terrified of the character, so I was always freaked out whenever I was sleeping over and it started sounding off.  :blink:

Those tabs are a bit annoying. I usually just try and clip off the end sticking through the cardboard packaging with some nail clippers and then push the rest into the head, but I've heard of others recommending pliers to tear them completely out.

This is what I do: I try to pull them out with pliers and if that doesn't work, then I snip them off with scissors or a box cutter as close to the scalp as possible and then push the rest of it into the head.

I just picked up this set yesterday and mine too are solid pink

I just checked out the set (no doll) and it had painted white border around the little doors. I hope we are talking about the same thing!

Thanks guys:)  It sounds like the exclusive set is missing some paint.  Good to hear the regular set isn't though!  Looks like I'll be getting another Powder Room :rolleyes:
I wonder if the Scooters have any visual differences??????

Does anyone collect the MH backcards/boxes/art? I saved a ton of that stuff -- odd thoughts about making a collage -- but now I don't want it. Does anyone else, or shall I recycle it?

Do you have the Powder Room/Scooter box art?  I'm dying for BOTH!

I love ALL the CAMs, so I'm super excited about those and the Blob/Ice Starter set, as well!  It'll be fun playing around with the molded wigs:)

Off topic:  I'm thinking about complaining to Mattel about the Powder Room Playset.  I think I may be nit-picking, though...... I am unhappy about the lack of painted trim on the vanity doors.  It looks.....off.  I can't return it, I HAVE to have the doll:(  So now I have to buy the Basic playset to get the vanity I like? 

This will be my first complaint.  I hope it goes well.  I don't have high hopes.  Wish me luck.

I'm not too excited by them myself, but I would just like to point out that it is the only CAM set so far to not have a pink doll in it. All of the others have one pink one: werewolf/dragon, vampire/sea monster, vampire/gargoyle, witch/cat, ice/blob ... Just sayin'.

Anyway, here's a new photo from me:

No DDG 3-pack here yet! Wah! Our Walmarts haven't even started to reset, poo. They just look like a hurricane went through with old stuff flung EVERYWHERE, so uh. :razz:

I had a Furby as a kid that would wake itself up and talk at me and wake me up and I did not appreciate that XD

I do the same with the head tabs--cut them off as close as possible with small scissors and try to poke them into the head, or at least in enough that they don't stick out. Obnoxious little things, lol.

pukunui that's a gorgeous picture! Love RM Frankie and she looks so cute as the Coffin Bean ghoul.

It appears that Clawdeen has an upgraded version of her clothes , wit a shirt witout stripes since they stopped using stripes on her since Toralei's doll came out.

There is no version without a doll. You'll probably have to get the furniture from someone who only bought it for the doll.

the Coffin Bean doesn't have a version without a doll. They have a version with just Clawdeen and there will be a version with Clawdeen and Draculaura thats a Costco exclusive. The pack I got was marked as $35 from k-mart (I traded a commission so I didn't have to pay for it) but the Clawdeen is that pack is so pretty. She might just be worth it to be the third :D

I liked the way Ghoulia's hair looked in the box, but once I pulled it out, meh. So I pulled her hair back into a high pony, rinsed her curls a bit, and straightened and trimmed her bangs. Very happy with her! This is one of my new favorite Ghoulias, although I need to replace her glasses.

Puki, those photo's are so cute! I really like the one with Holt, it tells a story!
Excellent! Couldn't ask for a better compliment than that. Thanks. :)
You are most welcome Puki! You make the dolls look even more awesome!

I finally did it you guys... I bought my first Monster High doll! I bought Rochelle, cause I loved her wings and her griffin. I've always wanted a MH doll, but never had the guts to buy one, as I've always hated dolls. I saw them today in Sainsburys, and lost it XD I said to my Nan I felt weird buying a doll, and she was very supportive, saying I should collect what I what, no matter what it is :)

Welcome MH! These dolls are like Pringles, once you pop the fun don't stop! /bricked.

I too wasn't a big doll fan... but I started lurking in here. Then I saw Cycle one of ANTM... and then I caved and got Toralei because she was 'the only one I liked.' Then um... I was up to like 12 dolls.. which would probably be more if I had more cash. Oops.

the Coffin Bean doesn't have a version without a doll. They have a version with just Clawdeen and there will be a version with Clawdeen and Draculaura thats a Costco exclusive. The pack I got was marked as $35 from k-mart (I traded a commission so I didn't have to pay for it) but the Clawdeen is that pack is so pretty. She might just be worth it to be the third :D

I've been on the fence about getting the coffin bean set because the Clawdeen looks almost just like the DT 2.0 Clawdeen

Haha me too! Well, that was about two weeks ago. All I wanted was Operetta, but now I have Operetta, Rochelle, Cupid, Skull Shores Lagoona, and Threaderella XD
I can't wait to get more clothes or learn to make my own so I can dress them up and do stuff with their hair!

Did you lucky Scarah buyers pay more for faster shipping? I chose the cheap option so perhaps I'll have a longer wait  >_< What's particularly frustrating is I had them sent to my parent's house as I'm at work during the day, so for all I know she could have arrived!

I love SDCC Ghoulia too but as I only collect the signature dolls Scarah and Hoodude were must-haves for me! Even my boyfriend said Hoodude was really cool and "you should get that one" (clearly thinking obtaining them was an easy feat  :lol:)

Thanks Pinkamena :) I think I paid about $10 for shipping- the other option was a lot more than that but gave you tracking (I can't really remember, was panicking as well at the time!) Hopefully we'll get our dolls soon!

Weird scratch on my becca's face

Along with what looks like hat had been a bubble in the top layer that now is lighter than her skin and peeling,

then a chip (another bubble?) on her nose above and center of nostrils.



I'm sad now that her poor face is so beaten!
What should I do?  Fix it with something?

Please and thanks ahead of time if you can answer!

OMG!! this is so exiting :frolic: I went to flea shop today and look who I found!!
I can't believe I finally have signature Lagoona and Draculaura, and they are from the first release  :shocked:

And they asked $16 for each, finally wave one dolls I can afford, the only bad thing is that Draculaura is missing her right hand and diary (she looks like a return)

Puki, those photo's are so cute! I really like the one with Holt, it tells a story!

I see, thanks I did a google search and found some very small pics, not sure if they are real but they had things like a vanity playset for Franky and it seems the dolls wit gimmics are going to be re-realeses of signature ones http://www.squidoo.com/monster-high-scaris-deluxe-travel-dolls-line

Yup, that's definitely it!

It appears that Clawdeen has an upgraded version of her clothes , wit a shirt witout stripes since they stopped using stripes on her since Toralei's doll came out.

Oh wow I never noticed that!

Thank you for the comment of my costume  :blush: he is Nightshade from the old G1 cartoon, I have being in a medical treatment since some months ago, so I haven't made another costume since, but I'm getting mush better now so I hope to start making them again soon.  :)


You are most welcome! I had to look him up, you did a great job! I love your version a bit more though, it looks more.. artistic? I can't really explain it, haha. It's lovely though!

I'm sorry to hear that! I hope you feel a lot better, I can't wait to see another custom.

Thank you, hopefully I can start again soon, I'm planning on making the last unicorn from a G2 fakie I found.  ;)

Glad to hear the pics are official, I saved them before they take the site down, lol.

I came home from work today to find a package for my husband at our back door.  Now I'm reading everyone is getting their SDCC dolls.  *eyes box*

It's the perfect size for dolls, too!

I'm getting my hopes up for nothing.  My husband tunes me out when I start talking at him about dolls.  There's no way he was paying attention if I had mentioned Scarah.  I was home, fighting to grab her from MattyCollector, and he was at work all day.  *sigh*  A girl can dream, right?

First, a gripe: why do all the CAM wigs have to suck so bad? The witch/cat set that Midnight Dream sent me arrived yesterday and while I love the color of the wig on the witch, and it's nowhere near as bad as the vampire boy's wig was, it's still pretty crappy ... Also, one of the cat shoes broke when I tried to put it on the doll's foot. The strap broke off from the sole of the shoe. :(

On a more positive note, though, my I <3 Fashion ghouls arrived today and they look fantastic!!!

Is anyone finding the Ghoulia plus scooter set at their TRU? I swear my TRU is so far behind! We haven't gotten the I <3 Fashion dolls or either of the doll+ exclusives.

Also, are the dolls on the back of the boxes any indication of what will be coming out soon? Like on my new release Abbey there is an image of wave 1 Ghoulia and the wave 2 versions of Lagoona and Cleo. Does the fact that they make an appearance on the back of the box mean that we could see them in stores again soon?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Abbey was put back into rotation, not re-released, if that makes sense.  Her box is the same as the first wave, so the dolls on her box are what she originally shipped with.  When she first started to hit stores, she was with the Wave 2 girls and I think Ghoulia was still in the assortment too.

Now she is in a case with Venus, Robecca, Rochelle etc. 

This website has interesting info on case assortments:

Does anyone know if someone can order torsos mutiple times from Mattel?  I've already ordered 2 sets.  Could I order more, or do they "know" I'm already maxxed out?
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: Chi on August 14, 2012, 05:50:03 PM
It doesn't say anything about ordering more than once, just says two sets per order. If it's another order then I don't see why they wouldn't let you. :)

EDIT: Also, I've made a thread in the MH trades/sales. If anyone could help me out, I'd be eternally grateful.  :blush:

Her head tilts back and her eyes close.  She also howls (i think.)  All those mechanics are going to change the look of the doll a bit.  I think the Ghouls Alive line will not be coming home with me anytime soon.  That's saying a lot, coming from a completionist like me ;)

Blegh, My Rochelle, Abbey and Operetta all have glue seepage, I'm worried my Toralei may be showing signs too :( I don't want to have to rehair all of them but at least I was never fond of Opretta's straggly mess anyway and Rochelles hair only really suits her stock and DotD Lagoonas dress so perhaps a hair colour change would not be so bad.
I decided to start with Operetta first but before dehairing her I wanted to have some fun with her hairstyle x) I think she looks so cute with a fringe! It would be nice if they made a version of her with a short bob and a fringe!

Have you tried acetone in the hair?  I would assume something like that would melt it! I don't know if it would damage the hair though.

Ah, that would completely remove all the glue and the hair would fall out :( Very good idea though!! :hug: Wish it would work, I've tried very strong shampoo on it in case it was just some product I used on it before, so I have to wait for it to dry.... *sigh* hopeful anyway....!

Just posted new photos in the pic spam thread, completely different to my normal style! :)

I had an interesting shopping experience today :huh:  I looked up the Scary Tales dolls online to see where I should look for them, and a couple stores had them available.  I went to the first store and the shelf was empty.  I went to guest services, and asked for help.  They sent me back to the toy dept, and said someone would meet me.  No one came, whatever.  I stopped the first person that walked by (something I hate to do because I work in retail and hate when people assume I know all about the yogurt just because I happen to be walking by it :lol:) and asked them to find me someone from the toy dept.  She asked what I wanted.  I told her the internet said the store had the dolls in stock, but the shelf was empty.  I wanted someone to check the backroom for me.  She scanned the tag and said she'd look in the back.

She came out with 6 dolls.  She put one of each character on the shelf, said "These are the only ones that came in the box." and walked away with the other 3:(  So I took the 3 she left me with.  Clawdeen had a lip rub.  Bought her anyway.

What did I do to make this person limit my purchase options?  Maybe she figured I was gonna sell them.  That I'm a scalper.  I AM a 30 year old adult, with zero children.  I suppose that could be a red flag.  Maybe it had something to do with mentioning the DCPI checker?

So I took my faulty Clawdeen to the next store on the list.  They had a full case on the shelf.  I picked the prettiest one and took it to guest services and had to embarassingly explain to them that I'm insane and have this exact same doll in my car that I bought not 15 minutes ago at another store and wanted to swap.  They looked at me as though I was trying to pull something, and asked if I had a receipt.

Then when I bought the less-than-perfect doll in the store, I had to explain to them WHY I was unhappy with it.  Like I didn't sound crazy enough already :lol:  I had to point to the lip rub on the clear plastic, and explain I was a collector, and she wasn't perfect enough for me.  I said she'd be a fine doll for any kid out there, but not for me.  They said they couldn't tell.  Even with the red line running down the front the box.

I'm not sure if I want to keep these girl MIB or not (probably not) but that red line ruinned any chances of me keeping them in the box.  This all could have been avoided if that lady had let me look at all 6 dolls in the first place.  I still don't understand what she was going to do with the 3 she walked off with.  Oh well.  After all the trouble and embarassment, I got my ST dolls.  I wanted to do more shopping at other stores (still have a few elusive exclusives to hunt down  :lol:) but I had enough for the day :blush:

I'm a 30 year old with zero children, and I know they think I'm nuts. I don't even care anymore.  When they ask if I have a little girl at home I'm just like "nope. they're alll mine!"

Post by: Okiedokieloki on August 15, 2012, 09:49:25 AM
I had a similar experience at a Target (and by similar I mean that they thought I was crazy) when getting my ST dolls. I pulled them up on the price scanner/stock checker to show them that they had them in the back, and explained that it would be an assortment and there were 3 different dolls that I wanted. The guy brought out one of each doll, but Clawdeen had glitter all over one of her eyes, so I asked if I could see the other one. He looked at me like I had three heads, so I had to explain it to him, "I collect these dolls and if I'm going to be spending $22.99 on each of them I need to be satisfied with how they look." So he took Clawdeen back and went to get me the other one XD

Then on the way to the check out I noticed that Frankie had a lip rub...but there was no way I was going back to bug that same guy again, so I just took her to a different store and exchanged her without much trouble.

I've done the same thing at TRU twice, once with the Fearleading 3 pack and once with I <3 Fashion Abbey (is there even one of her in existence that has good looking teeth and eyebrows? Because I couldn't find one)

Post by: keylimepony on August 15, 2012, 09:57:58 AM
grzankitter- Maybe that employee knew what she was doing and was holding them in the back for herself or a friend or something. Then when you insisted they had them, the employee brought out three for you and put the others back. It seems like weird behavior to bring out six and then take three back. I've worked retail before and I've seen some pretty strange merchandise hiding techniques both from customers and employees.
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: crimsondeity on August 15, 2012, 10:12:45 AM
The employee really should have let you pick which ones you wanted. The only (non-selfish) reason she took the rest to the back would be because they hadn't "unscanned" them from the back. But whatever the case, she should have let you have your pick. If it was to prevent scalping (some stores have individual policies on how many of an item they'll allow one person to purchase) she just should have said "we're only allowed one type per guest".

Sorry you had a frustrating time, but congrats on finally finding them!

Post by: justkitter on August 15, 2012, 10:42:50 AM
Thanks everyone:)  It wasn't so much frustrating, as it was.....strange.  If they hadn't "unscanned" them why bring out all 6?  Bring out 3.  It's been a few hours now, and I'm still scratching my head :lol:

Also, I just realized the ST dolls were only part of what I had went out to get.  I want to find a LIV in Color Alexis before ALL the LIVs disapear from the face of the earth:)  If anyone sees one for cheap (everything's clearanced out.) will you grab her for me?

And since I'm asking for stuff....... I'm still looking for Scarah/Hoodude ;)  I'm willing to pay CLOSE to ebay prices.......

Don't mean to bother you all about it, but if I don't mention it once in awhile, I'm afraid I'll miss out.  Guess I should put something in my signature or something :huh:

Are you kidding me, Target has no right doing that. They may dislike scalpers but they HAVE to sell to anyone that wants them. They said that to me once bacause they are constantly out of everything and they said the same couple of people come in every week and buy out there stock and they CANT say no.. -_-
Also about the employees keeping things in back, its true. There are alot of employees in walmarts That don't stock things out and buy the case during there break or the end of there shift! Since it happens in walmart im sure it happens in other places at well... Wow... I hate scalpers!
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: SwordPony on August 15, 2012, 11:28:14 AM
The Target closest to me has a policy in place that pervents them from selling more then 2 of a popular item. That way everyone has a chance of getting that item.

I use to work at Wal Mart. I seen a person get fired for keeping stock in the back. My managers where pretty strict about that kind of stufff.

I guess I've gotten lucky with Target and Wal*Mart. I had employees from both stores ask for my name and number so they could call me if items I was looking for came in. The one at Target called me on the same day after scouring through the back in search of the Scary Tales girls for me. The one at Wal*Mart is keeping an eye out for Ghouls Rule Abbey for me.

I am so close to being caught up on Monster High for now! Just need the I <3 Fashion girls, GR Abbey, and the newest Killer Style girls. A break would be so nice... but with the holiday season coming so soon I doubt that will happen. *faints*
Title: Re: Official Monster High Discussion
Post by: bewilderness on August 15, 2012, 12:04:03 PM
I'm almost caught up too.  Mainly I need GR Frankie, Lala, and Cleo.  I'm debating on the I <3 fashion girls, since the only things I want to keep out of each one of them is a pair of shoes and a couple of clothing items.  Am also debating on the DDG 3 pack. 

A couple of nights ago I had a dream and Frankie and Abbey showed up in it.  We were touring a new house that my ex-landlady and her husband had built (in the dream, not in real life), which had an elevator and secret passageways.  That's the first Monster High dream I've had!

Finally tracked down Venus and Robecca yesterday.  Saw about 4 Venuses and 8 Robeccas, and only one Venus and only two Robeccas had acceptable paint jobs out of all of them.  I got the ok Venus for myself and the two okay Robeccas, one for me and one for my friend.

These dolls are so hard to find and half the time when I manage to find the ones I'm looking for they have bad paint jobs and I have to pass on them.  The only signature Jackson I ever saw had misprinted eyes.  I didn't buy him and I've never seen a signature Jackson since.  Are there places out there where he's still on shelves?  I want him, but I'm not going to shell out $20+ for a doll that makes me unhappy whenever I look at it.

So frustrating. :/

I would do this! I saw one at my local Target a couple weeks back when I grabbed a bunch of the new MLP wave. I ALMOST grabbed her and I kind of wish I had. I checked for her yesterday and she's gone. I don't like buying online if it isn't totally necessary because then I have to pay outrageous shipping fees and my impatient behind has to wait.

You guys ... what have you done to me?

I do have another Target I can check, as well as a TRU. Hubbs will definitely tell me off. XD

I'm always afraid of buying MH dolls online because of face paint flaws. Go! Go check all the stores! :cheer:

Also it looks like Walmart.com stopped selling Venus and Robecca separately for now.. They're now advertising a "Monster High Doll Value Bundle: Pick 2" with Venus, Robecca and Rochelle that you pick two of for $39.94.. :s
They have one (for less) with pick two Skultimate Roller Maze girls but I haven't seen that in stock yet.

Buddafly and I had a Monster High/MLP hunting session yesterday! I picked her up and we hit a TRU that neither of us can get to on a regular basis - I picked up a I <3 Fashion Abbey and the Nocturnal CAM Lab add-on, while she got the Mystical CAM Lab add-on, a Moxie wig (?), and a bunch of Liv accessory packs on sale for $0.98. (I think...correct me if I'm wrong, Buddafly!). There wasn't any good MLP stock, but we wondered over to the boy's section (I'm still pissed it's 2012 and TrU is still set up like that) and she got a Predator figure while I contemplated some Mass Effect figures.

Then we went to my house and had a deboxing party! I had a Venus I had picked up for her, while she had 2.0 Clawdeen and some twinkle-eye G1s for me. Then we deboxed my Scooter Ghoulia, which I've had boxed for a while...she's so freaking awesome, I can't stand it! Then we went through my pony collection, looking for stuff to sell at the VA meet on Saturday. (I'm trying to downsize.)(Buddafly is not good at helping me downsize. Enabler!)

It was so much fun! If any of you have a fellow MH or pony collector in the same city, try and hang out! I highly recommend it.

PSA: I had to return the Nocturnal pack add-on. THE TORSO AND GREEN HEAD DO NOT GLOW IN THE DARK. Take it home and try it out before opening the package.

I think hubbs might be lenient on me since she's the last thing I'm looking for right now (except the castle, which I'm willing to wait on since it'll be around for a while). Of course then I'll get back on Etsy and start looking at outfits again. It could be a good opportunity to learn to sew. Pah!

I really hope he lets me look for her and that I find one! Rochelle is by and far my absolute favorite MH with Nefera in a close second. :3 I think we're hitting Wal-Mart tonight, at least. Maybe I'll get super lucky and they'll have one. Cross your fingers for me, please!

Remember when Robecca was shown in that video forever-ago?  When her, Venus and Rochelle were first announced?  I kept saying I thought she was gonna be a larger body doll, because (does anyone remember) her knees looked funny to me!  I can't believe I'm so MH crazy, I caught that something was up with her knees (being able to bend forward)  I'm kinda proud of myself right now :biggrin:

I *may* have a few things in my area that might interest someone for a trade too. I just saw all of the ST dolls, on Friday I saw the TRU exclusive with ghoulia and the scooter.. no robecca or venus. Most of my stores are up to date on dolls so a trade could work too!

I'm in Virginia, but I followed the tip from here and found her at Love's truck stop.  It was all the way down a dark road late at night lined with 18 wheelers on the way back home from a trip and my boyfriend was like "...seriously? dolls here?" but when we walked in, there she was!

Nope. Stores are not required to sell their products to anyone, just the same as anyone. As long as they aren't breaking any discrimination laws, they can decide what and how much they'll sell. Most stores have this disclaimer too; you'll typically find it somewhere in their fine print, and often also on their store policy board by their service desk. Most stores don't enforce it, since they want to make money. But it's not unusual for them to limit items if selling large quantities will create issues for their other customers.

@Ravie: Awww, that sucks... :(
@Nova: I saw them the other day and couldn't afford to pick them up at the moment. They were $40. ):

Thanks Chi... there was something there for $39.97 but it didn't say what, I was guessing that's what it was going to be, but wasn't sure... hopefully they get them soon.

Eh, it's ok. It's not a huge thing, just kinda weird. I never washed that particular Lala's hair, nor GB Frankie's or that Clawdeen's. The sig frankie I was considering rerooting eventually anyway because her hair was always dingy looking. Guess I should check my other 2010/2011 girls :(

Here's some pics of my latest gal, Ghouls Rule Abbey.  Please ignore her crazy piece of tinsel.  It...might have to go. XD

I love her shimmery dress.  It really reminds me of melting snow.  Her shoes are pretty awesome.  They're see-through with a blue gradiant and glitter on the top and a pearly pink sheen throughout.  Her tubetop is soft and furry.  Her face is by no means an undiscernible glittery mess like earlier photos made it look.  She's one of my favorite Abbeys!

Also, where are people finding Dead Tired 2.0 dolls other than online?  The only time I saw them was at a Love's gas station when I was traveling across the country.

That Abbey... SHE IS SO PRETTY! Hopefully I can track her down to use my voucher on if I finally give up on Venus/Robecca (because we all know that's when we find stuff, after we buy something else XD)

I've finally returned from New Castle! Seriously, I'm still feeling wobbly due to the cruise ship. xD

I found a huge stash of MH dolls in a store, however, all they had were ONE fashion pack and a wall of Skull Shores dolls.

How about, we post our collections? :D

For anyone who has GR Abbey, can I get a UPC? My Walmart said they just reset the toy section but haven't got the toys off of the pallets yet so if the UPC is any different from the others that would be helpful. I guess if its a cross reference that doesn't help much.. unless the employee knows how to check cross referencing in their machine.. which not many do.. O.o

Is the UPC the number on the receipt or the back of the box?  :blush: I'm not too familiar with the Walmart numbers.  Here's the number under GR Abbey's barcode:  746775185640.
On the receipt:  074677518564.

Which number is the one you're asking for, just for future reference?

I also have the numbers for the DDG three-pack:
Barcode:  746775134556
Recepit:  074677513455

Thanks so much! Those are the numbers I need :) I tried having an associate use the item number that shows up on walmarts website but it wasn't showing up in their system so I'm not sure if the item number is different from online vs. Stores. Those numbers should help me out though, thanks again!!!

Eta: I usually use the upc on the box. I'm not sure however which one an associate would need to use to check the item. I'm guessing the upc should work, but I may have to try both. When I find out I will let you know!

Does anyone have the link to the DPCI checker for the Scary Tales dolls? I've never seen them around here.  What is their official release date?

I saw about 10 Rochelles at TrU the other day. She seems to be widely available in my area.

They should be out now... I know my Target had a tag for them the last I went (but nothing on the self), and they are pretty good to sticking to their 'dates'

http://sites.target.com/site/en/spot/mobile_fiats.jsp?tcin=&dpci=086-02-0564

There's the checker already plugged in with the DPCI number for them.

My local store had all the Ghouls Rule Girls (exept Abbey) this morning. And to my surprise they had B&W Frankie too :S I've never seen her in person before, I still don't understand the hype about her -__- But then again, I don't like Frankie much either :S GR Cleo is fab! I might have to ger her though XD

I actually saw that too. lol Someone was also hiding some of the DDG dolls behind the generic dolls too. I ended up shelving them with the other dolls. XD

Thanks for the Scary Tales link, Icicle!  Looks like a couple stores near me have them.  Too bad I'm going to end up getting paid a lot less than I thought I was going to for something.  Ah well.  x_x

Here's the Walmart exclusive numbers I posted in the last thread  I hope it's okay to post here!

Ghouls Rule Abbey:
Barcode #:  746775185640
# on the receipt:  074677518564

Dot Dead Gorgeous 3-Pack:
Barcode #:  746775134556

I still just can't decide about Abbey. She's not my fav character, and I already have 4 of her which is way more than I'd planned. What I REALLY  want is her in her outfit from the Scary Tales booklet *swoon*
