Oooh shiny new thread!

Sadly I was very close to getting shiny new dolls today. I found Robecca on Amazon UK for £16.99, then sulked because I couldn't find Venus for the same price. I then found them both on Tesco for the same price, and spent ages trying to log in as I kept getting errors. A password change later and I find that since I moved, my nearest Tesco in which I can collect my orders is a long way away. By the time I finally reverted back to my Amazon account Robecca had gone. I'm really annoyed at myself, especially as I prefer Robecca over Venus. I should have grabbed her when I had the opportunity!

I can't really afford the postage costs on top :( My kindly boyfriend has told me to just order them off Tesco and he'll walk for half an hour to collect them, but I can't have him do that. Going to try another branch of Argos tomorrow though so hopefully I will finally have some luck!

I cant believe the constant hunting we were all doing for Venus and Robecca and now that we all have them (or most of us) I see them everywhere! It seems that alot of these new releases DDG 3 pack, RM and so on... Are all so readily available everywhere!  :cloud: I guess all the time wasted could have been avoided if we waited? :P But why would we want to miss out on the insanity!!!!  :silly:

As much as I want Venus and Robecca, I'm holding off on getting them until the stock images of the swim and dance class dolls come out. I don't want to get a basic version, and then end up liking a different one better, as that's what happened with me and Rochelle.

They...they didn't make Ula's shirt like the picture?! :cry: That makes me really, really depressed. It was so beautiful (waaaaist cincherrrr!) and now it's so gross and plaaaain! :sad:

Too bad about Lala's Dress change ARG I liked it but i still really like that version of her so I'd like it anyways.

Need to rant for a moment pls bare with me.
I had a lovely friend from my Monster High Facebook Group help me out witht he new Walmart Exclusives the GR Abbey and the DDG 3 Pack. Just picked them up forom the post office today and got home opened the box and found my dolls intacked and safe YEAY! then i start to debox the 3 pack and look closer at t heir faces and I am like OMG OMG OMG! NOOOOOOO!

All 3 of the dolls have a major case of wonky eye syndrome. NOOOO! So bummed out. Right now. one eye is painted up and one is down and one is close to the nose than the there OY! these dolls are the worst I've ever seen. It's not my friends fault she offered to pick me up a set and I dont think she even looked at their faces, so i cant blame her. Tried to Call mattel but their office is closed for today...
AAAAAARG!
so i just emailed Mattel with this issue and so we'll see what they can do. I'll probably get a voucher only wish i'd get replacements.

Just as an FYI regards to my pix I've tried my best to rebox them so that I can keep them together So i can figure out what to do with them once I hear back from Mattel.  :huh:

Venus and Robecca are no long the Elusive Two in my area. My Target got at least two boxes of them in today, and both TRU and Wal*Mart had them this weekend.

SunnieBunny - Oh Do you have pictures of them? D:
Hope Mattel will get you replacements.

Also, Since my Rochelle Chibi was ruined yesterday I will wait until I draw her again... So Which character should I do first instead of her? I have all girl characters sketched up (except from Nefara, Howleen and the Werecat twins) , so first character someone says I will draw XD

Eeeeeeeeee!! *Runs around in new thread* Yay new thread!! *Trips and rolls all over the new carpet*

Today seemed a little Wishy Washy. I planned on going to Walmart and buying the CAM Witch starter set and Skeleton set, but instead, I went to Target since it was on the way, as soon as I went to the MH Aisle, I let out a big Eeee!! I saw that there was a Howleen/Clawdeen set, and it was the last one, so I grabbed it!! So instead of getting the CAM Sets, I got Howleen and Clawdeen instead. >,>; I kinda wasn't planning on getting them, but when I saw her face, I had to have her! She got a big head. @,@; I also saw a bunch of Venus and Robecca, and my reaction was: "Wow, now you decide to flood the shelves?!"

Bad thing was that when I got home, I saw that she had wonky eyes, BUT it isn't even that noticeable, it just looks like she has a slight black/swollen right eye, so it's fine.

And while I was out, I also picked up this! Got some reading to do!

Well at least I can scratch that off my want list then...bummer.

Went with my family to Toys r Us to get clearance beach toys for an impromptu goodbye trip to San Diego and there were about 5 bazillion Robeccas, but no Venus.  Kind of weird.

I still might pick it up though since I need that Clawdeen anyway.
What's the price going to be?

Post by: pukunui on September 11, 2012, 09:44:52 PM
I am bummed. I've had my Venus for a day and somehow I've already managed to rub a bald patch in her flocking at the back! I had no idea it was that fragile! I can't imagine the flocking on any Venus owned by a little girl lasting very long. I barely even touched it. She also has really dry, brittle hair and a hole in her pants. I'm thinking about e-mailing Mattel, although I'm not sure it's worth it because even if they send me a replacement, what's to stop it from happening again?  :(

I also heard a similar thing happening with Clawds sideburn hair fuzz. The one in the set with Draculaura. I guess someone just rubbed a wet paper towel on his sideburns and they rubbed right off!  :shocked: You should mail them though and hopefully they will send one that isn't a problem! I'm sure you didn't pay for Venus' bald twin Dionaea XD gl puku!!!
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: pukunui on September 11, 2012, 10:16:48 PM
I just e-mailed them, although I'm not sure what good it will do. What with their change in policy, they will want me to send this doll back, and even if I were to do that, there's no telling whether I might not just end up with the same problem. This flocking stuff seems like a poor design choice, although I have no idea what they would use instead.

On a side note, I reckon they should've given Venus a proper mohawk.


Anyway, I also have a signature Clawd coming (just got put in the mail today), and I am a bit concerned about the same thing happening to him, but I suppose since he hasn't got long hair to brush, I can probably get away with not ever touching his sideburns.

It's hard to hold Venus' head without touching the flocked part. I didn't realize it was that fragile.
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: WeepingPiano on September 11, 2012, 10:24:58 PM
Flocking does not have to be fragile though. A fair few SS ponies have held up over the years :)

Good to know. I guess the flocking on my Venus doesn't have enough glue holding it on or something.

Post by: Zombelina on September 11, 2012, 11:16:22 PM
I've had signature Clawd for like a year and his sideburns have held up fine through normal display/posing, so I wouldn't worry too much about him as long as he's kept away from water ^.^ I guess there will be no washing of Venus' hair either :yikes:

That should be easy enough. It's not like he's got any hair to brush in the first place, so I doubt I'll be touching his head much except to pose it.

I already boil straightened her hair. I was very careful not to get the flocking wet, although I suppose some of the steam could've done something and then when my finger touched it while brushing her hair, it rubbed off. I dunno. Whatever the case, it seems way too fragile for such an expensive doll. There's just no way a little kid is going to be able to play with Venus without her flocking coming off.

Sigh, my Coffin Bean Clawdeen is my most flawed doll ): It's a bummer since she is my favourite Clawdeen

I bought her last week, and they had all the boxes behind the shop desk so i couldn't compare all their face-ups. Well When I unpacked her when I came home I first noticed that her lipstick had a scratch, and that her joints are really really loose. I checked her yesterday, and then i also noticed that she has wonky eyes (Didn't notice at first due to being focused on the loose joints)

Dumb thing is that since she is unpacked, there is no way I can return it (returns are obly for packaged or flawed toys, but I don't think they will accept face rub, wonky eyes and loose joints as "flawed" because it still works...)

oh no that sucks :cry: i have a serious issue with wonky eye'd dolls! Just recently purchased a nude Forbitten Love Draculaura  and MS Lagoona to replace my wonk eyed ones :(

I do find however if you stare at them enough they all start to look wonk eyed!

Maybe try returning to her to the store? Paint scratch on the lips is definitely a flaw even they can't ignore right?

I can't decide if I want Rochelle or not. I bought a few MH dolls a couple of months ago (DOD Draculaura and School's Out Frankie) and I lost interest in Frankie (still adore my Lala though) so I told myself that two was enough. I love following all the new releases and webisodes/specials even if I don't plan to buy them. I saw Rochelle in person yesterday and I felt very tempted to get her. I'm really on the fence. She's such a unique doll, but I've been experiencing a little bit of buyers remorse lately with certain dolls I've bought. I'm going back tomorrow to pick up a few Winx figures so I'm hoping to come to a decision by then. I've been considering Spectra too.

Are they going to show Ghoul's Rule on tv like usual or is just a dvd release this year?

The Good News!
My last Clawdeen came to me yesterday (Khol's Exclusive!) So I am now all caught up until they start releasing the new winter stuff. If my memory card hand't broken and my camera wasn't such a pain about using my spare I'd do a wolf pack photo XD

The Iffy News
I have a Wave 1 Frankie with terrible glue. I'm thinking to cut all her hair off and reroot her but if someone finds this offensive and would like to save her from me, feel free to contact me. I have other projects so her doom is on hold.

The Bad News
My wal-mart had NEW STUFF but I was broke when I was there XD I imagine by the time I finally get back with money, NOTHING will be there

so there, all caught up with the world o' Ravie

For Wave 1 Frankie, if you plan to reroot her to make her look the same, that would be super great for her, but if it's a random reroot, it wouldn't matter to me much, personally. BUT in the end, it all comes down to you; your doll, your choice as to what you wanna do with her. XP

I also hate going into stores to see a whole newly restocked shelf with new stuff, but having no money in my wallet. I usually try to avoid going on random hunts when I don't have the money. XD Get's me super frustrated knowing that what you see now is the only time you'll see them and never see it again. >,<; Do you by any chance remember what some of the new stuff were??

Cool. So it's like it's "Scary Nights" rather than "Scare-is Nights".

Also, I found the Roller Maze girls and DDG Lagoona and Spectra at one of the toy shops today. I honestly wasn't expecting to see them here until closer to Christmas. They were all on sale for 25% off, so I bought myself a DDG Lagoona.

I was tempted to get a DDG Spectra as well, as I like her a little bit better than signature Spectra, but I still have a fairly strong dislike for the character in general and the whole ball-and-chain motif is a real turn-off for me ... which is a pity, because I have a couple of cool ghostly photo ideas, and Spectra would be perfect for that, but I just can't bring myself to like her enough to buy own her. I'll have to turn one of my other ghouls into a ghost. LOL.

Ghost CAM?
I don't like her face. That black band across her eyes is just weird.  :huh:

I guess I'll just have to be patient and wait and see if Mattel puts out a version of Spectra that I actually like. I have to admit - when I stopped by Kmart earlier, they had about six signature Spectras, and I was seriously tempted ... but they all had flaws of one kind or another. Some had messed up lipstick, others had scratches in the paint on their legs, and the rest had paint residue on their ears from their earrings or something. Oh well.

Mattel's giving me a new Robecca, no questions asked. I... really do not understand how I've gotten SO LUCKY every single time I've contacted them regarding my dolls. It really just boggles my mind... my fiance and I must be really good at wording these things that Mattel is so willing to just throw dolls at me...

My Robecca had NOT so awesome little craters in her face on the tip of her nose and near her eye in the vinyl of the face (bad walmart lighting? and or over excitement at finding her? Then I went on a short trip and noticed all the problems after some time) ;-; like some bubbles had appeared in production and then popped. I loved her so I didn't want to really send her away so I just asked if they could send a new head haha.

This is however the first time I contacted Mattel about problems and they are sending me replacement dolls too, which is super sweet but I was totally unprepared for that response.

Anyway my Chibi Clawdeen is done now;

If anyone is interested, the MH twitter page is doing a scavenger hunt sort of thing for a copy of the Roller Maze DS game. The grand price is the game, a DS (at least i think it's a DS) and all of the dolls! (including the two pack!).

That's pretty good that you're getting another one without having to send the other one back.

Today I went to target again and I saw that they restocked on the Howleen/Clawdeen pack, there were a bunch of them! And I thought I bought the last one too but I guess they're prepared for the Holiday Season.

I also saw all the dollar section MH merch. So many cut and pasted stock pictures. XP So many things I wanted get, but didn't. Was tempted to get most of what they had available and decorate my room into a MH Room. XD But that may have to wait. @,@;

I hope TRU has any more of the Werecat twins coming in, I swear they're the last ones I need and I'll be done with the Signatures until 2013. Once I'm caught up with Signatures, I'll concentrate on CAM sets. XP

I got my Robecca today (I didn't expect it either, I got the shipping notice today and it was a next day delivery and was already on the truck by the time I got the e-mail....)! Her eyes look.. a little off, but I don't know if that's me over analyzing it... and I popped her out of the box (but just slipped the insert out) to check the back and there was no grease mark, so that's good! My fiance hasn't decided if he wants to keep her yet, so I might put her up for sale on here if he doesn't take her (I wasn't seeking a replacement from Mattel.. I just was letting them know what was wrong, lmao).

I also snagged the Skeleton CAM pack at Walmart today... I saw her peaking out the back and just had to have her. Her wig is awful (though seems to be fitting well on my CAM Vamp head, since I took her parts for the Skeleton for now and I gave Ms. Bones the Vamp wig, which looks nice on her. Just giving it some curl now, haha.

Veenie arrived today! :3 I'm glad I bought two. One has an eyebrow significantly smaller than the other. The one I picked has an eyebrow that's ever so lightly slightly off, but I can live with it. She's precious! :D I had to write an assignment on carbon emissions today so she helped to put me in a 'green' mood.

Yes, I am most grateful, as it wouldn't have been worth the cost to return her all the way from NZ. (I am having them send the replacement to my parents' house in FL.)

I don't think I will complain about the DDG Lagoona I got yesterday, as I'm not sure I'm going to keep her after all. Her eyes are off-center and the pinky finger on her left hand was squashed in the packaging with the iCoffin, so the webbing has split. I bought her on an impulse but now I am thinking I will just keep her outfit and accessories, and swap her body with my loose DT Lagoona's body and then sell her. She's cute, but her hairstyle is a bit meh and it's top-heavy (it keeps pulling her head back).

I love her shoes, though!

I need hands.

I'm debating getting my first MH doll soon, but I just can't bring myself to pay the $20 price tag. Do these dolls ever go on sale? If so, how much are they usually marked down? Would they possibly have them for a good price on Black Friday? I was kind of hoping I could find one at a Thrift Store, but unfortunately for me, none of the ones around me carry toys anymore, and there's no Goodwill near here. I really want to get either Draculaura or Rochelle eventually.

I also saw a bunch of the werecat twins again, I bought them when they first came out so I didn't need them today. Hopefully this is a sign of better distribution.

Ice and Blob girl are soooo precious! I love them. I also like Gorgon, but I'm not sure why we needed another Mummy (as much as we needed another Werewolf and a Vampire in Mattel's eyes, I guess).

I also wish the new stuff wouldn't come out until 2013 - by then maybe I'll have money! But it probably will at least start showing up by the holiday season. Seems like a reasonable business plan, to have new stuff out then instead of the same stuff that's been around for months. (Not that that's a very long time!) If nothing else, hopefully it will all keep shipping to stores for a good long time...

I dont have much hopes on getting her in sweden. We didnt even got the roller maze dolls.

Don't loose your hopes just yet ;) The roller maze girls do exist in Sweden! I've seen plenty of them here and TRU have the Target exclusive pony set with Celestia och Luna, it takes some time some times but they do get here for most of the time :) I do think we will get Catherine.

I'm debating getting my first MH doll soon, but I just can't bring myself to pay the $20 price tag. Do these dolls ever go on sale? If so, how much are they usually marked down? Would they possibly have them for a good price on Black Friday? I was kind of hoping I could find one at a Thrift Store, but unfortunately for me, none of the ones around me carry toys anymore, and there's no Goodwill near here. I really want to get either Draculaura or Rochelle eventually.

Last year Walmart had them for $10 on Black Friday. I picked up a few :D

I hope they do that again this year. Wal-Mart is always our first stop on Black Friday.

So I got both a DDG Spectra and a signature Spectra yesterday. I'm keeping the DDG Spectra body, but I've already swapped their hands around as I don't like those grafted-on chains on DDG Spectra's hands. Now I can't make up my mind whose face-up I like better. I like DDG Spectra's fringe, and I kinda like her skinnier jaw, but her hair is a lot longer than sig Spectra's, and her purplish eyeshadow also kinda makes her look ill. I think I prefer sig Spectra's softer eye make-up. So I may swap their heads around too.

I came back from Target, and they had loads of the dollar stuff. Shoot from now on or until they run out/stop selling them, whenever I go to Target, I'll have to spend an extra $5 and stock up on these stickers, tattoos, and other stuff. XD

From what I remember:
-2 kinds of pens
-2 kinds of markers
-3 kinds of stickers
-1 kind of tattoo sheet
-3 kinds of notebooks
-3 kinds of dry-erase boards

ETA: Ahh crap, I just looked closely and one of the sticker packs was cut misaligned from the pictures. =_=; Gotta get another one now. >,>;

LOL. I've done it quite a few times, always with the same characters, so you can't actually tell. When I've got a doll that I don't want to keep, but it's got a newer, better body (eg. it's got plastic hip joints instead of elastic and/or its elbows and knees aren't as floppy), I swap heads and keep the new body and then sell the old one with the head that I don't want to keep. In this case, I can't decide which Spectra head to keep. There are pros and cons to both. I like sig Spectra's eyeshadow better, but I also like DDG Spectra's lip color and fringe better. Too bad I can't blend them together!

Would it be possible to give sig Spectra a haircut so she's got a fringe like DDG Spectra? Or would she need to be rerooted or something?

Also, would it be possible to cut her hair so that it looks kinda like the wig Kalma is wearing in this photo:

She has red on her race from where her glasses have been sitting against her skin, both on her temples and the bridge of her nose. Her right hand [on my left] is gimpy. Her hair was all over the place. She is just so sad..... I don't know what I'm going to do with her......

Bait? Sell? Give her some minor fix-its to the areas where bleeding occurred? I don't know about that hand. Just give her a sweet limp-wrist pose!

Also, I've decided to keep sig Spectra instead of DDG Spectra, although I swapped their hands and heads around, so I've got the newer body with the plastic hip joints.

This is so me! I got paid and have a little extra, and now I can't figure out who I want! I'm also a little skeptical, because I did buy this Dead Tired Ghoulia, and her flaws are stopping me from falling in love with her.

Did anyone else have an issue with the werecat twins having horridly smeared paint? I reserved a set at TRU, and they literally saved the worst looking ones for me. Fortunately they still had a few sets on the shelves. Most were messed up too, but I found a good set for me, and a set for a little girl who was also buying a set.

Also, did anyone notice the Scream face in DT Abbey's ice scream? Hilarious.

Their 2-packs in general tend to be low-quality. I looked through 8 Howleen/Clawdeen sets and did not find a single one I was completely happy with (and I'm not even that picky!). Most of them had terrible face-ups, Howleen's body looks like it could use some TLC and the one pack I found that had tolerable face-ups had an awful paint job on Howleen's backpack. It looked like a toddler painted it.  >_<

I have usually had pretty good luck finding dolls with good paint jobs. There was an exceptionally badly wonky eyed Rochelle at toys r us a couple of weeks ago, the poor thing was the last Rochelle on the shelf. I hope someone who makes customs takes her in. Then this last week I saw a bunch of Schools out Lagoonas with some sort of eye issues, nothing major but annoying enough to catch. Other then that though nothing too bad. All of the ones I have bought have been good.

Okay, so I know I've read somewhere that you can boil box crinks out of hands or other plastic bits, but I never believed in how well it worked! I got a pot of water boiling for my new Dead Tired Ghoulia's terrible box/ponytail hair, and though "What the heck?" and poured some on her gimpy hand. I turned to put the pot back on the stove while contemplating how I was going to rearrange her hand while it was hot, and then I looked down. It had already POPPED back into place! Might have to try this with Robecca's less than perfect hand!

I got RM Operetta today, and with her hair up she looked WAYYY older than a high school student. I took it down, and swung it to the side,and used a clear band around her forehead and BAM! She looks gorgeous. I need to take some photos of it!

I'm like you, I can't stand the swimsuit lines. Only real "bonus" to them is that they are a little bit cheaper. I bought SS Lagoona and Abbey so I can buy some clothes off Etsy at some point and dress them up in something more than a simple swimsuit. That's the only thing I like about the swimsuit lines, they give me dolls I can dress up and not feel bad about it because I don't like their stock clothes.

Ughhhhhh, I have the first two books in paperback, but can't find three or four anywhere. And because it doesn't have a date I can't safely preorder that.. bawwww.

I buy all my books in paperback (it's a mental thing.  I THINK it saves space that way.) and 3 and 4 are not available in paperback yet.  3 will be coming out early Oct.  Still have a way to go for 4:(
I meant that I just can't find them in general xD

I traded some signed prints of my photos for her. I never thought I'd actually get her. I'm quite excited. I don't like Hoodude at all, though, so I'm going to see if I can trade him for Gil. If not, I'll just sell him.

I find him to be a rather disturbing doll, not just in appearance (he wears a jacket but not pants?!) but in concept as well (Frankie made him, so doesn't that make her his mom?). After reading his diary, I think he's pretty lame as a character as well.

I "scalped a hakie Bratz doll I had from Dollar general and decided that the face was close enough for a zombie "face" mask...Sometimes i worry for my sanity..then I remember I don't have any! :)

I emailed Mattell about the Dead Tired Ghoulia, just telling them about the paint rub, and asking for replacements arms/hands for her before I knew to boil them. They sent me back an email apologizing. They are sending me another DT Ghoulia! I kinda feel bad, because I only would have needed the hands.  :blush:

Amenoo- I will check TRU on Friday (its Monday night here), they get doll shipments then, so I will see if they have a good Lagoona for you then if you don't mind waiting. I can also call another store near me whose shipment is on Wednesday and see if they have one that isn't wonky eyed.

I called Mattel USA since they asked me to. I explained the glue problem on Rochelle, Howleen and Clawdeen but they didn't have any suggestions as to how to fix it. I told them I had used adhesive remover and such, but that they should really change their methods of hairing or their glue. I also told them how easily Howleen's arm broke and they said they couldn't replace her (not that I quite wanted a replacement, I just wanted to know that the specific Howleen/Clawdeen set seems to have a lot of issues) and they offered to send me a Rochelle and Voucher. I'm grateful for it, but at the same time I just wish it wasn't an issue in the first place. Living where I do, there aren't many places that are constantly stocking MH dolls, so most of the time I have to drive really far just to find them. They asked me if I wanted to mail them back for replacements and refunds but I explained to her how much trouble I've gone through just to find these dolls. I don't have many, but the ones I do have I really love despite their issues so I'd rather not send them back for a doll that will probably have the same issues, if not more. So.. Yeah. They're asking for the dolls back now as an option if they can't offer replacements for a full price refund in the form of a voucher. Just letting you guys know so it doesn't catch you off guard if you happen to complain about a doll with problems.
Since I opted out of returning Clawdeen and Howleen for a ~$30 voucher they're instead sending me a $15 one. I just wish they could sew the hair on instead of use glue.. Also my Venus has a tiny balding spot in her flocking even though I've never touched it. So frustrated.. I suppose that voucher will go towards a new Venus if I ever even find her in stores. :cry:
They say they appreciate feedback so they can forward it to Product Integrity.. I really do hope that's true.. But I'm a little doubtful.. :(

In happier news I ordered Venus last week and she arrived today. She's a beautiful doll but definitely not one of my favourites. I was hoping she'd be Robecca.

Come to think of it I felt the same way when I ordered Abbey and Spectra- Spectra arrived first and although she's a lovely doll I sulked because she wasn't Abbey  :P

I got really bored last night, and started a project I've been thinking about doing for awhile.  I'm posting about it here, because I can't take photos, and if I start a thread about it, everyone is going wanna SEE it.  I've got a 7-8 year old phone, and a camera that I don't know how to use.  Plus I'm not a photographer.  Don't know about lighting, and flash and blah blah blah.  I've never even really used a disposable camera!

Anyway!  I've started my custom Hoodude:)  I think the one included with Scarah leaves a bit to be desired.  Mine will be sewn around a baity Gloom Beach Jackson.  I've only gotten the legs started, but it's better than nothing, right?  I meant to leave a bit of room to stuff him, but I'm not a seemtress, either :lol: and I'm not sure I'll be able to do that or not:(  We'll see.  If I can't stuff him, at least he'll have a sexy physique :lol:

The MH clothes swap inspired me to get off my butt and start doing something:)  Can't wait to start doing the details, like big thick black stitching, and sewing button eyes on him.  Maybe a silk (or satin or whatever he said his heart was made out of in his diary) heart and finding the right pins!  I'm really excited!  I'm gonna buy these Detroit Lions Pom-Poms (gray and blue) from work and use them for his hair.  Can you imagine a MH doll with Pom-pom hair?  AGH!!!  So much love:)

On a side note: I am seriously *desperate* to get a pair of Ghoulia's boots that come with the exlusive scooter set. Can someone *please* help me out? I can buy or trade.

As long as their eyes are proportionate to their head, I love them. I think they make the dolls look so delicate with their waif like limbs.

Now, what I don't like are the tiny-eyed customs. sure, they're really well done, but they're offputting. DX But that's okay, I'm not buying them.

Kinda how I feel about customs in general. I like the ones that are proportionate to MH dolls (because as it stands I feel only MH styled eyes work for the face molds) and that's about it... sadly most of what i see are the super tiny, alien eyed customs that totally have so much put into them, but look really odd on the heads.

I'm more of a naysayer. I think a lot of them look weird and lose all of the vibrancy I expect from MH dolls. It's really rare to see one I can even tolerate, though there has been one or two.

I hope no one throws fakies at me for saying that. Please keep in mind it's only my opinion and the opinion only counts toward this specific thing. I have no ill will for anyone who does make these. It's their doll and a lot of people do like these particular repaints and that's cool. They're just not for me, that's all. :)

Err...Iono, what both you and Yuru said is basically what I wanted to say. There some other things I wanna say, but I know people are gonna grab their pitchforks, torches and chase after me.

I'm not saying they're badly done. I've seen several and the I'm not gonna lie, the people who do those customs, they're AMAZINGLY done and they deserve the credit, praise and all that good stuff, but to me it just doesn't look right on a MH Doll.

All in all, they are nicely done, but they're not my cup of tea and I do not like them. >,<; *Runs away before she gets chase down by an angry mob*

I have to agree from a purely artistic standpoint. I love seeing how well they do the details.

From a 'I want to own it' stand point, I don't like though.

I'm a little picky about the customs I truly love, but style usually doesn't matter too much. As long as it looks like it was done with love and was carefully painted, I'm not sure why I wouldn't find a reason to completely dislike it by any means. We all see things differently and have a different idea of what makes or breaks a custom for is, but it doesn't mean we can't appreciate the artwork an artist has done, even if we don't want to go run and buy it. :P
I don't usually fall in love with tiny-eyed customs, but this bee girl (http://www.ebay.com/itm/OOAK-custom-repaint-Monster-High-BEE-Create-A-Monster-fairy-tale-phaireetells-/110947381150?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19d4faaf9e&nma=true&si=yyeii3PuES5O8lzVSUqEIeUzvkA%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557) is absolutely darling..
As for the 'sweet look' customs, those are my favourite. I've fallen in love with so many sweet looking Frankie customs...
However, 'dark' look customs are just as gorgeous. There's a SS Lala repaint up on eBay right now that I SO wish I could afford right now! ;___;

Eh, I'm not so fond of her hair or makeup. I love her dress, though.

I originally only wanted a Draculaura doll, but then I saw Rochelle and I want her, and now that I keep seeing pics of her, I want Spectra as well. This isn't good because if I start buying MH dolls, I'll have to pass on lots of upcoming MLPs to have the cash for it. I remember back when they first came out, I was going to get a Draculaura, but I put her back and got four G4 singles instead for the same cost. Of course, Christmas is coming up, so maybe I can manage to talk my mom into getting me one of them.

This Facebook page has been stealing people's Monster High photos: Monster High (Mexico) (https://www.facebook.com/groups/281707361871508/446145268761049/?notif_t=group_activity#!/pages/Monster-High-M%C3%A9xico/172472079445869)

Just thought I'd mention it here in case I've missed notifying anyone via FB and Flickr. If you take photos of your dollies and post them on the internet, be sure to check the page and see if yours have been stolen.

I like most of the customs for that reason, actually. Ever since I was a child I liked all "spooky/scary" things and Halloween. So, the scary customs, I really enjoy. In fact, I wanted to customize a few myself to be real freak jobs. :lol:

I also really like the pony MH dolls like this one: http://monstroushair.deviantart.com/art/My-Little-Monster-High-Doll-258538716 They're just so wrong. I love how scary and weird you can make an MH doll.

I have seem the Pinkie Pie one that g33kgirl did but not this one.
I was trying to remember who did that all day today. XD Wasn't sure if it was TGG or Okeigurl. Someone also did a reverse custom and put Draculaura's head on a Pinkie Pie body. don't remember who did that one. :P

As for the picture stealing, that's a big no no. I hope everyone's stolen pictures get taken down. If I ever posted photography of my MH Doll's I know for sure, I'll be unloading a whole bunch of watermarks all over the picture so no one can steal it or claim it as their own. XD

Huh, went through that Facebook and sure enough, just about every MH photo I've uploaded to Flickr is there (I counted about 14). I'm a bit indifferent to my own being taken, since I don't put much stock into my photos, but it's just bad etiquette to nab someone's photos and not give credit like that. I recognized quite a few people who I know don't like their photos re-posted.

Funnily enough, I'm not. Probably because I know that Facebook takes copyright issues seriously and will instantly remove the infringing images as soon as I report them.

That being said, I would still like to see that page shut down all together.

I have no idea,  I meant from the trailer *goes to edit post* , where you can hear Rochelle speak for a few seconds.

Also I finally watched The Skull Shores Movie now. It was pretty nice, and I really wish Mattel would do a Andy doll ...

Also I believe Frankie is better paired up with Andy than Jackson or Holt (because I don't like Jackson or Holt...)

Saw MORE dolls at Wal-mart today (and tons of ponies) as usual, I got ponies instead of a doll or two. Saw a bunch of Robeccas, Rochelle, Abbey, GR Abbey, fashion packs, Coffin Bean, and more I forget. No Venus, Jackson, or Toralei, so I went "ehh, cool, but I'd prefer ponies" so I left with the 3 Wal-mart plushies, a Wave 4 BB (Royal Riff) Wedding DVD, Royal Wedding 3-pack, and Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded. It was a good find. c:

I'm pointing this out for the fact that people who don't look for certain dolls always find them, damn you Rochelle, I already have you!

It's all right. FB hasn't removed it yet because my description of the infringing works wasn't clear enough - I cited multiple photos at once, and apparently I was supposed to give a detailed description of each one. They should all come down in the next 12 hours or so. FB acts pretty quickly on this sort of thing. I guess they want to avoid getting involved in any lawsuits themselves.

The Robecca webisode is very fitting considering I just got my Robecca  :biggrin: I'm so happy with her. She and Abbey are definitely my favourite dolls and it's lovely to see her character is just as adorable.

It sounds like she has a quaint British accent thing going on, which I think is fitting considering her steampunk style.

Robecca was adorable in the webisode. I really prefer the animation in them compared to the CG/3D stuff going on in GR :( but alas:

My TRU had about 8 Werecat sets today which surprised me, so I assume they will be more and more in stock for the holidays hopefully unless scalpers grab em. Good luck to those of you looking!

 That was a good web episode and I am in full agreement with you on the animation, I also prefer it over what they are using now...
   Does anybody know how to put the things on your photos that you take so that they can be identified as your own? I am not sure how to do it, not that my photos of my ghouls are worth taking but I thought it might be good for any photo that I take and am particle too.. :)

Ghouls Rule Abbey was announced at SDCC. I kept subconsciously getting the two mixed up myself though. ;) I remember when the photos first leaked that I immediately visualized that image of her in Frankie's Threaderella book as her Fairy Godmother and didn't realize she was GR Abbey until I gave her outfit a second glance.

Also I wanted to say Thank you to everyone who have been kind enough to look out for Lagoona for me, and just wanted to say that Saply just bought one from TRUs website for me, so no need for you other to think about that anymore :)

Congrats! :D

Thank you ghouls ^^

And yes I feel so relieved that so many are so helpful here. Then I know I don't need to worry about missing out on something I really want. As I said to Saply, because I had gotten an offer from another site, that I always will prefer to buy from the Arena since I feel I can trust you guys ^^

I was just bragging to a friend about you guys<3  Saying how you are all so helpful and THE BEST community.  I just love it here.  Whenever I venture away and try to read other websites, I always cringe and come running back.  It's so hard to find sites with punctuation, and good grammar, and capital letters, and reliable information, and on, and on, and on. 

Sometimes I feel guilty because I'm not a pony person, and only joined the Arena to be apart of the Dollhouse:(  I wish I could be a better member by being involved with ponies, but another collection might kill me (definitely my husband!)

I agree!

Now can someone please help me acquire Ghoulia's scooter boots? I'll take the rest of her outfit and even the doll if necessary, but I really don't want her scooter (I don't like it that much and it's too big and heavy to ship internationally). Pretty please with sugar on top? I can pay straight away or also trade ... would anyone like some nice signed prints of my photos?

Unfortunately, I doubt there are many looking to buy the scooter who wouldn't want the doll as you can buy just the scooter separately. But good luck with your search. I know some have found the boots on ebay.

Is anyone planning on getting the JCP exclusive Draculaura with the car? I caved today and picked her up. I'll post pictures if anyone is interested.

Just FYI: She comes with more gel in her hair than B&W SS Frankie did. Her head leaning against the car also ruined her hairdo, and even after a wash, those curls still aren't all that nice.... Just something to watch for.

Even though i don't post much i really like it here too :) I really should get over my shyness and say more. I mostly just joined for MH too but my old ponies seem to have found their way to being scattered around my room in various stages of being cleaned and restored XD

On a side note i finally unboxed my Schools out Frankie today and wow WHAT did they do to her hair?! It was all scrunched up in the box and full of glue o_0 Has anyone seen this before? She had bald spots too, partly because whoever styled her hair in the factory did it awfully. Its looking a little better after a comb through but it really needs a wash or something, i really hope i can fix the poor girl up!

Aaaargggghh!!!!

I missed the postie by like 30 seconds! I was home all day and he waited until I was out doing the school run to show up! He was next door as we got home, and there was a "card to collect - no one home (signature required)" slip in the mailbox. By the time I'd gotten the kids in the house, he was way up the road. I have a feeling he wouldn't have handed over the package anyway due to some rule or another, though.

Now I've got to wait till tomorrow so I can go pick up my package from the distribution center. I've got a couple of items coming, so I'm not sure which one it is. Possibly the second set of tights I bought on eBay.

EDIT: Must be patient. Besides, when I got to my daughter's classroom, I was told she'd just thrown up a few minutes before. She is my priority right now, not a package with some more toys in it. I just wanted to whine a little bit about how I'd only *just* missed the postie.

I got DDG Operetta today, my fave of that line :D I was planning on getting the pony castle, but the 50% off coupon wasn't valid for items over $40 (and it was priced at $60). Boo, I thought! So I grabbed her as there were no Ghouls Rule dolls there I wanted. She's very cute with the fanned out skirt and bow :D

At the moment I'm cleaning my Robecca's hair, hoping to get some wave in it by plaiting it, boil dipping and then combing it out. A bit risky as she is an Indonesia doll, but I can't stand that box frizz. The amount of hair that came out during my initial combing was rather shocking  :shocked:  blue and black hairs everywhere... must be the same stuff Cleo's black hair is made out of. Hopefully it won't be as bad now.

EDIT - Mission failure, the nice waves in Robecca's hair came out as soon as the hair dried. Any tips?

Thanks. Indeed it is not. Luckily, I think it was more a result of being overheated and dehydrated (they'd gone on a field trip to a gymnastics studio and I'm not sure she'd gotten enough to drink) than having caught a stomach bug. I think she'll be fine in the morning.

The Monster High Dance Doll includes doll in dance outfit with dance bag.
This case contains 6 individually packaged Monster High dolls, assortment breakdown not available at this time.

Wow, I'm a ditz. I read that as Clawdeen! I'd rather see Clawdeen in pink hair to be honest, but I suppose it'll be interesting to see Howls in pink too. I just hope I don't fancy her because I'd like to keep my Howleen count at one!

Definately came for the G4 ponies, ended up loving G1 and wandered to the Dollhouse. Now I'm soon to take the plunge into BJDs as well!

And I love the community all over here on the Arena. Even when there are disagreements, it's so low key and friendly!
And everyone is so helpful. :D I run here for help first.
I know other monster high themed sites seem to have a younger user base, so they're a bit less knowladgable.

At the moment I'm cleaning my Robecca's hair, hoping to get some wave in it by plaiting it, boil dipping and then combing it out. A bit risky as she is an Indonesia doll, but I can't stand that box frizz. The amount of hair that came out during my initial combing was rather shocking  :shocked:  blue and black hairs everywhere... must be the same stuff Cleo's black hair is made out of. Hopefully it won't be as bad now.

EDIT - Mission failure, the nice waves in Robecca's hair came out as soon as the hair dried. Any tips?

Did you let the hair completely dry before taking it down? If it was damp at all it's likely that the fibers didn't set. I had a bit of frustration with styling the hair on my Robecca as well, I was ready to throw the thing across the room at one point.  :lookround:

Her hair is kanekalon, which should in theory, be more agreeable to hold a style from a boil-perm than the girls with saran hair (though not pony/nylon hair, that stuff can be curled using even room temp water). Her fibers are rooted pretty thick though, so getting a proper shape may be more difficult. Once you find a way to get the curls or waves in there's not much budging them unless you again use heat to straighten the style out.

I made the curls too small and tight on my first attempt, using too hot of a water setting, went away for the weekend and left her to dry, only to come back to a frizzy mess that didn't want to budge.  -_- I had tried to use the same method I used on my saran-haired girls, which was a mistake. I had to straighten her hair at that point and just start over. Thankfully, I've found that kanekalon is also more forgiving than other fibers I've worked with, which is why many women use it for hair extensions.

A good temperature to use is about 180°F (but not over) or less. I have a coffee maker that shows me the temperature of the water, however you can use a meat thermometer to get an accurate reading if you're using a stove. It can be as low as 150°F, but at anything above 180 I learned frizzed a bit too much. I've read from hair extension blogs that at past 200 it can even melt. After a boil perm, I'll dunk the doll's head in a bowl of ice water and leave it there until it's cool to the touch to set the style.

I used larger drinking straws wrapped lengthwise to add loose spiral curls to my Robecca, securing them with paper towel wedges and bobby pins the second time around and it worked to what I was trying to do in the first place. I left an elastic around her waist to hold each straw as I made my way around. After giving her a boil perm and letting her sit in her ice bowl, I then left her to dry for about 15 hrs in front of a small tabletop fan which also helped to set everything.

Good luck, and I hope you're able to come up with something you're happy with! :)

Post by: rayedelsol on September 25, 2012, 03:43:17 PM
I didn't know Robecca's hair was kanekalon, but I guess it makes sense. I straightened her hair with my flat iron set around 140-ish. It worked well. I know that doesn't help with the curling, but it defrizzed her hair for me.

I went to a TRU a little ways away from where I live today (about a half hour) and there was not just one aisle with MH but TWO. And they were BIG sections, two almost half aisles of dolls and all of the other stuff, I saw pretty much everything that's out right now at that store. It was amazing!

I think it just depends on where you live. For my area, I see Robecca allll the time. I've only seen Venus once since the beginning of August, and I bought her. So glad I did. I love that doll so much, she is my favorite monster I have (and I thought that honor would go to sig Spectra). Her style is just awsome, I love her colors, and her shaved head. And she has such a bright, sweet face.
I'm not really feeling Robecca though.

I'VE FINALLY FOUND THEM!!! After searching for since like forever, I've found the werecat twins for the first time ever!!! They had several, and all had bad smudges though, but I found one that was just Purrfect with no smudges! XD AND I was able to put them on Layaway and will be pickupable by a few days before my birthday! Eeeee So excited!!! *Runs around the house* Now I'll be caught up with all signature releases and can finally take a break! *Looks at cam section of her check list* Blah *head desk*

Has anyone ever purchased the school playset yet?? I'm getting more and more tempted in picking it up for some reason. >,<; If they had one completely set up in a display case at TRU, that'll make me want it more! XD

*Searches previous pages to find pic of progress*

All black would look great, but if you wanted to add a little extra color, I would say Gray/silver, but that might not work too well and make her look "old". I think maybe a very dark blue or very dark purple would make a good mix to match her eyes or eye shadow.

I'm leaning to go for a very dark blue. Hope that gives you some idea about what color to use.

There are two threads about it:

Gil Hunting thread (http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,310682.0.html)

Some of you might remember when I contacted Mattel USA customer service about week ago. They asked me to send them a pic of the dolls I was complaining. I sent it and they said they are going to replace me the dolls. I offered to give them USA address to ship but they wanted to ship them straight to Finland for me. Today I got a call from FedEx that my package has arrived to the customs and Mattel has even paid the customs fees for me :shocked: FedEx has picked up the package and they are gonna deliver it to me tomorrow.
From the start, I was prepared to find someone in US to receive the dolls, ship them to me at my cost and pay the custom fees, I didn´t even dream that Mattel would do all of this for me. When I get my package tomorrow, I´m gonna send a thank you- message to Mattel.
I can´t believe this. I´m so extremely happy with Mattel now. This is an example of great customer service :ohyeah:

Oh god no. I called them about my lip smudged In-Box Abbey and they told me that it was the stores responsibility to deal with the issue not them. Then I chatted with Mattel USA and they sent me a new doll (to hannaliten in US who then sent it to me).

And I have gotten my Dollhair now and have started to rehair Onnie, I'm going with all black.
But unfortunately, i have to get a new sealer. Mine just doesn't seal... My Onnies face is all smudged so I have to repaint it. I hate it, because this sealer was the only matte one in craft stores i could find. I wish we could get stuff that is so highly recommended in the US, like Mod Podge :/

Speaking of Ghoulia, were the DT Ghoulia's haired in different hair? I just picked up a new DT Ghoulia, and her hair looks very different than my niece's. Her Ghoulia's hair is a tad frizzy at the ends, while mine looks sleek with a wave to it. My niece takes excellent care of her dolls, so I know rough play isn't it.

Extremely! Yeah, I've only seen 1600 Cupid in person once myself, when I bought her. Never been perfectly happy with her either (her poor hair was slightly smooshed, and I certainly can't fix it), but looking back on it I'm happy I got her at all! I prefer the extra care taken with the 1600 release over the re-release, even if both of them are still pretty prone to looking a mess right out of the box.

The Howleen crap is so much worse though. =_= The clearance thing? The fact I STILL can't find her?!  :enraged: I do have one now, but only because in my craziness I paid way more than I should have online for a doll I don't even like. I almost never pay over retail, but the stupid thing being my signature set completer just broke me. Mere days later lots of people (though nowhere in Texas, I still can't decide if that makes me feel better or worse) are picking it up for $8. :cry:

Here's a comparison shot (http://www.flickr.com/photos/69404301@N03/7987429471/) - old one on the left, new on one the right. The new one's necklace is darker, and I understand her jellies are more purple than pink. She doesn't have as much lipstick on her mouth, her freckles are lighter, and her eyes are a much prettier shape (in my opinion).

Hi, I would like some advice and I don't know where else to ask but here so..
In my country the dolls are very pricey and we do not get exclusives, and I don't have paypal so I can't buy overseas(shipping to my country is also quite expensive). So I was lucky to find an online seller on Facebook who has pre-orders of various products from the US and back in late August the seller had put the "I <3 Fashion" dolls available on pre-order. That time I pmed the seller to just ask for the price (php1800 aka 43usd each and even allowed to lower it to 1700php as last price) so I can save up for them and did not order yet as I did not have the cash yet to be confident on ordering.

Now that I have enough money to buy them I decided to ask the seller again how much overall for the 2 dolls and noticed she raised the price (php1900-45usd for each doll). I asked if I can order them for the price she originally told me (43usd each) because something as low as 2 dollars is a bigger amount here. So I asked her why she raised the price and told me that apparently, she was thinking of the other dolls (the basic dolls probably) she also had up for order that time back in August when I first asked her how much the 'I <3 Fashion' dolls were. After a failed attempt to haggle with her I asked her to recall her message back in august and told me her past conversations could only go back up to September and her facebook was glitchy. I got confused so I just advised her that she should be careful and not make the same mistake in pricing with other people to not confuse them as well, and she took it as an insult and told me that her other buyers were ok with the price markups and understood her when she told them. I understand that MH dolls are hot on the market, beggars can't be choosers and I understand that she also has to pay for taxes w/shipping overseas so I don't think her prices are unreasonable, but I want to know if what I did (asking for the old price) and what I told her afterwards was wrong. (Sorry for the length)

If you mean plastic jointed instead of elastic strung, yes, she does.   Box also shows Ghouls Rule on the back, all the recently re-released sig ghouls...and Holt and Ghoulia which pretty much leads me to believe they will be next up for re release.   I made a trip to Orlando today and found her in the Walmarts and Toys r Us's there in copious amounts.   No idea how many cases each location must have gotten...but it would have been fun to watch them unpack!

Wow... the re-issue is gorgeous. My fiance is now chomping at the bit to get her.. haha. I did notice something between some Lagoona's, the way the eye brows are done (like in both versions of the School's Out one) can make her look either adorable or a bit... spaced out. I dunno how to go about describing it... I'm awful with words sometimes 8D.

*Looks at comparison pictures then to her 2.0 Lagoona* Awww WTF!! This new one looks sooo much better and looks so much like Mad Science Lagoona too (maybe it's the lip color), it also magnifies how the first one looks "more flawed" or rather very off in comparison with her giant fish-like lips, bigger freckles and thicker eyebrows. >,<; *Sigh* Now I'm tempted to either find this new lagoona, or be happy with the one I already have. Choices... *sits in corner to ponder*

The big lips were really off-putting for me. So much so that I wiped off her lipstick and repainted it (http://www.flickr.com/photos/pukunui81/7696728220/in/set-72157629753093226/). I did like that she had one eyebrow higher than the other until I realized that her left eye was higher as well. I was disappointed to find that my actual doll didn't really look that much like the one in all the official promo shots. I think this rerelease version looks more like that one, which makes me happy.

I have a question for those with the rerelease wave 2 Lagoona. Is her hair just kinda frizzy in back, or is it just mine? I thought it was bad box hair, but now it looks like it was just cut that way. It's just the ends, not the whole head of hair. I shampood and conditioned her hair, but I'm thinking I'll probably have to boil the ends.

I think it's because Lagoona has more.. 'bump' to her eye shape, to mimic fish eyes is why she looks more spaced out, imo.

Also akjsdgasgdd DT Lagoona, I want her so badly for my fiance... and I really do regret not just manning up and using my voucher when I had it to cut the cost of the Hydration Station in half the last time I was out at TRU. I really do feel awful for being so selfish.. ;_;

Dead Tired Lagoona is my favorite Lagoona and in a close race for my favorite doll. She was my grail, and I was almost in tears when I found her at TRU.I am seriously hoping to get a signature Lagoona soon! Then I'll only need DotD and Mad Scientist to have them all! :)
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: pukunui on September 29, 2012, 02:32:52 PM
Dead Tired is my favorite Lagoona at the moment. It's kind of funny because I thought I'd like signature Lagoona, but when I got her, her rat's nest of a hairdo and her faceup just didn't do it for me. I'd already gotten and sold nude a Skull Shores Lagoona, at the at point, and my sig Lagoona ended up going the same way.

When I spotted wave 2 Lagoona in one of picklepud's photos, I had to have her as I thought she wasn't just the prettiest Lagoona but also the prettiest MH doll of them all. But then I finally got one and she just wasn't what I was expecting. Her eyes were a little wall-eyed and uneven, and her lipstick made her mouth look too big, and I felt like her freckles stood out a little too much.

Then I got a Mad Science Lagoona and it was love all over again. I thought she was the prettiest. I loved the shape of her eyes better and that adorable braid. I also like how her eyebrows aren't just one color - they've got little dark lines on them to make it look like they're actually made of hair.

Then I got my Dead Tired girl and she just blows the other two out of the water!

I recently got a DDG Lagoona, and while I liked her face-up, especially the green freckles, she had a wonky eye and those loops in her hair just seemed a bit like they'd end up being annoying or something, so I sold her nude too.

Now I am getting a rerelease wave 2 Lagoona and she could easily make it so I go back to liking that one best.

These are my current three Lagoonas, by the way:

I have since redressed MS Lagoona in the Dawn of the Dance outfit and DT Lagoona in the Dot Dead Gorgeous outfit, but I haven't taken any photos of them yet.


On a side note, I was looking at the CAM sea monster's leg fins the other day and it occurred to me that Lagoona's fins face the wrong way. Both the sea monster's and Gil's leg fins are streamlined for moving forward through the water, whereas Lagoona's would be more conducive for moving backwards in the water. I'm thinking I might try turning my Lagoonas' fins around to see what it looks like.

DT Lagoona sure is popular! It warms my heart so, as she's my favorite ghoul period. :heart:

This has bothered me since like the beginning of time. Unfortunately, her fins have little notches on the pegs to prevent putting them in the "wrong" way. You might be able to shave them down though!

Yes, you can't just switch them round directly, but what about flipping them over and then switching legs? Or will they be backwards? I shall go and have a look now.

EDIT: Ah, the notches don't like up. Yes, one could shave off the notches. Probably isn't worth the effort though. Lagoona can just be weird and have backwards leg fins. LOL.

But if you do this, then they wouldn't be going the same way as her arm fins. Not a big deal to some, but that little bit of continuity is enough to keep me from trying it

Her arm fins are placed the right direction for swimming. Her leg fins are backwards. Look at a picture of Gil. His fins are all facing the right way.

More Signature Lagoona for meeee! Her face-up is just perfection. I wasn't expecting to fall so in love, so hard when I originally bought her, but eeee. I've actually been mildly disappointed by every release since, as I keep buying them expecting the magic of Signature, and getting...not that. (Well, to be fair I've gotten used to it by now and lowered my expectations accordingly, but it made it particularly hard to bond with my simply inferior MS Lala, the second Lagoona I bought.) ...but I totally have sky high hopes for the 2.0 version they FINALLY got in-stock on Amazon and I immediately purchased. XD

My DDG Lagoona arrived, and while there's nothing technically wrong with her, her expression isn't working for me. It looks like she's looking up, at a point somewhere above my head, instead of straight on. It's almost a creepy effect, as horror-movie-obsessed me keeps imagining she's watching a ghost up there... So yeah, this girl is getting exchanged for one of her clones if I find one with a more neutral expression.

My Clawds are both looking up quite a lot, and I find it rather annoying because their heads don't bend forward, so I can't ever get them to look straight forward without making them lean forward at the waist. Some of the others also look up, but to a lesser extent.

I'll give you my thoughts, if you'd care to hear 'em. Already posted that photo elsewhere, so I'll just link it for now. My bee girl is wearing a pair of the gold tights from their store. :)

Quality-wise, the clothing is very nice. The waist and cuff edges are finished, and I don't see any loose threads. I thought the pants would just pull on, but they actually close with a metal snap in the back. The rise is very low, so if you have a lot of Bratz tops you might want to go with something a little more conservative on the bottom half (unless you want that 90's pop star look). Still, even sitting down, the pants don't ride too far down their backs.

The gold pants are made of a very nice, shiny fabric that seems okay at resisting wrinkling, and it doesn't split or pucker even if you stretch it a bit. My bee girl sat down for the better part of a day, yet the top of the pants has only minimal folds left in it. The fabric has a 4-way stretch, so it conforms to the leg shape a little bit and the pants stay in place even when you bend the joints.

Overall, I'm very pleased with them! I put a pair of the jeggings on Operetta and they look fabulous. They're the perfect length to either wear with heels or tuck into boots.

Are the Howleen/Clawdeen sets still being found in Targets or have they stopped being shipped out all together?

I picked mine up at our Target about 2 weeks ago.  I don't know if they have them now, there were only 2 on the shelf when I grabbed mine.  I never saw this set for clearance at our Target.  They never clearance MH stuff there.

Yes! I have ordered stockings from her twice now and both times she's included a little gift - the first time it was a red skirt and leg warmers, the second time an extra pair of stockings. She is awesome! Not just for that but also for the high quality of her products.

In two separate orders, I got three black fishnets, one white fishnet pair, one red/white stripes, one black/white stripes, one blue/black Frankie pair, one black w/ rainbow stripes, one blue pair, and one white w/ black dots.

I haven't seen Classroom dolls since like... May according to a picture I took of the MH section actually being stocked.. xD. Dunno if that's totally accurate, but since it has 2012 as the year I assume my camera had the date set correctly. Kinda goes with my MH collecting being full of regrets because I should have grabbed the Home Ick Frankie I found for my fiance (especially because that was on our anniversary...)!

Speaking of bad face paint, I was in Target today, and wgile as usual their mh section was very skim, they did have the storybook dolls. Clawdeen had the worst lipstick rub. Their was just a huge streak of red on the packaging, and the doll had a huge bare spot on her lips.
Gotta say, not really feeling that line. Draculaura is kind of cute, but nt enough to tempt me.

I can't find any way to contact the user directly. I *have* just sent tumblr a copyright infringement notice. I am wondering, though ... it looks like 33 other tumblr users have reblogged or liked this user's photo. If tumblr removes it, will it delete it from all those other people's blogs too, or do I need to report every single one of the blogs that reblogged it as well?

If it's a copyright infringment they SHOULD remove all instances of the blog. I would say if you're worried e-mail them and ask. People are really getting annoying with taking pictures :|. I see they did that with someone else's photo and even pointed out they found it on tumblr and couldn't be bothered to link back to the original source (Granted NOTHING about editing someone's work is right)

Hi, I would like some advice and I don't know where else to ask but here so..
In my country the dolls are very pricey and we do not get exclusives, and I don't have paypal so I can't buy overseas(shipping to my country is also quite expensive). So I was lucky to find an online seller on Facebook who has pre-orders of various products from the US and back in late August the seller had put the "I <3 Fashion" dolls available on pre-order. That time I pmed the seller to just ask for the price (php1800 aka 43usd each and even allowed to lower it to 1700php as last price) so I can save up for them and did not order yet as I did not have the cash yet to be confident on ordering.

Now that I have enough money to buy them I decided to ask the seller again how much overall for the 2 dolls and noticed she raised the price (php1900-45usd for each doll). I asked if I can order them for the price she originally told me (43usd each) because something as low as 2 dollars is a bigger amount here. So I asked her why she raised the price and told me that apparently, she was thinking of the other dolls (the basic dolls probably) she also had up for order that time back in August when I first asked her how much the 'I <3 Fashion' dolls were. After a failed attempt to haggle with her I asked her to recall her message back in august and told me her past conversations could only go back up to September and her facebook was glitchy. I got confused so I just advised her that she should be careful and not make the same mistake in pricing with other people to not confuse them as well, and she took it as an insult and told me that her other buyers were ok with the price markups and understood her when she told them. I understand that MH dolls are hot on the market, beggars can't be choosers and I understand that she also has to pay for taxes w/shipping overseas so I don't think her prices are unreasonable, but I want to know if what I did (asking for the old price) and what I told her afterwards was wrong. (Sorry for the length)

I'd also like to know if it is still worth ordering from her since she is the currently the only way (that I know of) to acquire the dolls I wanted (since I don't have a debit or credit card yet).

I'm not freaking out. Yet. However, I have a feeling I'll really like her in person. She looks to have a lot of potential. And hopefully some kindhearted members will keep us in mind when the time comes so we don't have to worry about scalpers! That's how I've gotten quite a few new releases over the past year.

The only doll that I'd TOTALLY be freaking out over would be (yes, plug your ears you haters of all things spiders!) Wydona. She's everything I want and dream of in a monster doll. Why must Mattel torture me?! Why?!

On a more positive note, can I please get some fashion advice? I put Rochelle in I <3 Frankie's yellow & blue dress and the white socks. She looks really cute in it. I didn't think the red would go, so I left off the vest and didn't put the red sandals on. Instead, I've put on Lala's pink/black/yellow wave 2 pumps. They match her pink hair, but not her dress. Is that OK fashion-wise, or is it a fashion no-no to have your shoes match your hair but not your outfit?

Anyone on here use tumblr? I've just discovered that someone has not only posted one of my photos on their tumblr without providing links back to Flickr, but they've also edited it. I can't find any way to contact the user directly. I *have* just sent tumblr a copyright infringement notice. I am wondering, though ... it looks like 33 other tumblr users have reblogged or liked this user's photo. If tumblr removes it, will it delete it from all those other people's blogs too, or do I need to report every single one of the blogs that reblogged it as well?

It's this one, in case you are wondering: http://marsmcflytrap.tumblr.com/

Yes, they will remove all reblogs. I remember when one MH blog I followed put up the leaked pictures of the Scaris girls and the new CAM sets, and I reblogged it, only to find, the next day, that my post was gone. Don't worry, everything will be fine. :)

Hi, I would like some advice and I don't know where else to ask but here so..
In my country the dolls are very pricey and we do not get exclusives, and I don't have paypal so I can't buy overseas(shipping to my country is also quite expensive). So I was lucky to find an online seller on Facebook who has pre-orders of various products from the US and back in late August the seller had put the "I <3 Fashion" dolls available on pre-order. That time I pmed the seller to just ask for the price (php1800 aka 43usd each and even allowed to lower it to 1700php as last price) so I can save up for them and did not order yet as I did not have the cash yet to be confident on ordering.

Now that I have enough money to buy them I decided to ask the seller again how much overall for the 2 dolls and noticed she raised the price (php1900-45usd for each doll). I asked if I can order them for the price she originally told me (43usd each) because something as low as 2 dollars is a bigger amount here. So I asked her why she raised the price and told me that apparently, she was thinking of the other dolls (the basic dolls probably) she also had up for order that time back in August when I first asked her how much the 'I <3 Fashion' dolls were. After a failed attempt to haggle with her I asked her to recall her message back in august and told me her past conversations could only go back up to September and her facebook was glitchy. I got confused so I just advised her that she should be careful and not make the same mistake in pricing with other people to not confuse them as well, and she took it as an insult and told me that her other buyers were ok with the price markups and understood her when she told them. I understand that MH dolls are hot on the market, beggars can't be choosers and I understand that she also has to pay for taxes w/shipping overseas so I don't think her prices are unreasonable, but I want to know if what I did (asking for the old price) and what I told her afterwards was wrong. (Sorry for the length)

I'd also like to know if it is still worth ordering from her since she is the currently the only way (that I know of) to acquire the dolls I wanted (since I don't have a debit or credit card yet).
I were you, I'd take some time to look around and see what deals you can get. If you can use a credit card but not a Paypal, maybe it is worth it to find a better option but keep that seller in mind in case you can't find any other possible way of buying them.

If it's a second edition, it is a little bit much because I see her all the time.  It's only a $5-$8 mark up, so not too bad.
If it's a first edition, that is a great deal.

Jinafire Long....I've been thinking about her a bit lately and I truly can't wait to see what she'll look like with her hair down. I'll have her out of that outfit in half a second, but the shoes look wicked. Hopefully she'll be released in a few months!

Dude, I am FREAKING over that doll. She's my current grail. I'm gonna have a REALLY hard time not overpaying on eBay for her from a scalper...

I'm not freaking out. Yet. However, I have a feeling I'll really like her in person. She looks to have a lot of potential. And hopefully some kindhearted members will keep us in mind when the time comes so we don't have to worry about scalpers! That's how I've gotten quite a few new releases over the past year.

The only doll that I'd TOTALLY be freaking out over would be (yes, plug your ears you haters of all things spiders!) Wydona. She's everything I want and dream of in a monster doll. Why must Mattel torture me?! Why?!

Me too....I need her. If I saw her whilst walking down the aisle in Stresscos I would pee all over the floor in excitement. I would need several of her for different face-ups and re-hairs. I would have a photoshoot with my Wydowna clan with my pet tarantulas....

I'm just looking forward to getting all the new Scaris "signature" dolls. Jinafire, Skelita & Catrine. XD I also might be tempted to getting the Scaris Cafe set aswell. XD Wydowna would also be a great addition to my collection. :P

Also saw this on Youtube!!

I've said it before and I'll say it again - Wydowna would be great to use as a base for a Kali custom. I wouldn't want to attempt it myself, though.

I do hope they release her. She's way more monstrous than any of the other dolls they've released so far.

My mom thinks I'm a bit odd for still "playing" with dolls and MLP, I'm 27 btw, but on an outing she got my a surprise...A DT Draculaura. Which is nice and awesome of her..except I don't collect the main line of dolls. I only collect the CaM sets. I thanked her profusly but told her I don't collect that type and she said she'd take it back and we could look for the right kind together! It's going to be a good mother-daughter bonding thing I hope..She thinks the dolls are spooky.. I guess they remind her of the Chucky dolls...I think that if they should be likened to horror film dolls they'd be more like the puppets from The Puppet Master...
But it made me all warm and fuzzy that mom tried to get me something nice like that... Just wanted to share...

Has anyone ordered shoes from Jemdolls on etsy before? I just got three pairs of her pumps (based on the CAM bee's shoes) and while they look lovely, two of the pairs had a shoe crack as soon as I put it on a doll's foot and the third pair has one shoe that's so tight not only could I not get it on but it also left marks on the doll's foot. I'm going to have to see if I can get a refund. :(

Every time I see pictures of all the new dolls I want them more then before.. the anticipation MIGHT kill me. I just seriously hope that they are as good as they look in the pictures and I don't end up being disappointed with them.
I guess the plus to waiting for the new dolls to come out is that it gives me the chance to buy dolls I am missing and still want..

I wonder if she's adjusted her molds like topologie did? Some of the newer MH ghouls have a deeper instep on their feet, so the older custom shoes fit reeeeeally tight... I have a beautiful translucent red pair that started cracking when I put them on Operetta :c

No worries. I'll let y'all know if I hear back from her and what she says.

EDIT: I think I'll give her a day to respond, and if she doesn't get back to me, I'll leave her some negative feedback and initiate an "item not as described" dispute case. The quality of the shoes is just not good enough.

Loose?! I wish! The pairs I got are tight. They don't even really fit on bare feet, and you can forget putting them on over tights or socks. :(

As you can see, the red shoe has a big crack in it, the cola shoe has a small crack, and the pearl shoe was so tight it left gouge marks in my sea monster's foot (and still wouldn't go on). The shoes that didn't crack were also so tight I couldn't get the dolls' heels in all the way.

I believe it depends on whether the cap in their heads is hard or soft, and only the first few that were made have soft ones, so for the most part, it's pretty hard because you need to either replace the cap or find a way of punching holes in it.

Though how hard are they to reroot? Because LIV wigs aren't available in Sweden and I dislike the CAM wigs
I believe it depends on whether the cap in their heads is hard or soft, and only the first few that were made have soft ones, so for the most part, it's pretty hard because you need to either replace the cap or find a way of punching holes in it.

Gonna search on google...

Also, I saw that Mattel Shop now has free shipping on MH stuff, so is there maybe a fellow US Arena Member that would help me buy the CAM torsos, and maybe the Skeleton or Bee Add-on?

When the time comes I'm going to try out one of those miniature hand drills used in hobby crafts and see how that goes. I'll post my results once it's done, but I'm almost certain someone else has done this successfully before - maybe on flickr.

Good news! I got a response from Jemgirl on etsy overnight. She has offered to replace or refund. I was told on FB that if you heat up the resin shoes in hot water, it softens them up and then you can put them on without cracking, so I asked if she could replace with the exact ones, otherwise I'll just take a refund.

Yes. I feel better now, after having had several reports about her being uncommunicative.

Since the pearl shoes I got from her didn't crack (the right one was just too small to fit on and left gouge marks), I'm going to test out the hot water method with them. Supposedly the idea is that the hot water softens up the resin and then you can slip the shoe on without cracking and then if you leave it on, it will conform to the shape of the foot as it cools.

Ohhh, that's great news! I love those red sparkly shoes so much...Pretty sure I have them favourited. *A*

Also my DT Lagoona says "Expected Delivery By: October 9, 2012" from only a few states away ..This is one of those times where I REEEEEALLY hope the date is wrong.
If all things go well she'll be here Friday, but.. You never know with the postal service.  :crazy:

Yes, I really like them too. They were meant to be my witch's ruby slippers. You can imagine my dismay when the left one cracked as soon as I put it on her foot.

So, if you heat the shoes up to get them on, do you have to heat them to get them safely off?

I don't know. I don't think so. I think the idea is that if you leave them on the foot as they cool down, they retain the shape of the foot rather than the mold or whatever so they'll fit better. I haven't tried yet. I will report when I do so.

whoo! excitement and also good news for other US members. I was at Dollar General tonight picking up a few things and I always check the toy section to see if there're any cheap toys i can use for this or that...and I almost missed them....but they had DT2 dolls! I got Abbey. I'd seen on lj reports of them being found but those rumors have been false before so I really didn't expect to find anything MH but I did! One more off my list ^_^ So if you have a DG in your area, check it out :D

It worked! I soaked the pair of pearl shoes in boiled water for 30 seconds or so, then quickly put them on my witch's stockinged feet and they went on quite nicely! You have to be quick, though, because they harden up again almost immediately. I didn't even have time to dry them first, so her stockings got a little wet. But it worked. I'm going to keep them on her feet for a bit just to make sure, but I'm guessing I should be able to get them on and off the dolls' feet, with and without socks/stockings, just fine from now on!

Wish I'd known that from the start. Hopefully she'll send me replacements for the ruby and cola shoes. I really want the red ones for my witch.

Aww, the prices on Mattel.com are actually really reasonable, though they do hit you with shipping. Also, I got my DT2 girls on Amazon.com, where they range from $12-15 when they're in stock.

She's the only DT ghoul left in the shops here. We also still have numerous SS Ghoulias and DotD Ghoulias. I think Mattel overpacks the cases with Ghoulias, so there are always a lot left over. Either that or hardly anyone here in Auckland likes her.

That's how it is in my area too, mostly Ghoulias are left behind.

I wish rather that letting Ghoulia be the Scapegoat of overstock, they'd rotate between characters between lines so that way it isn't always Ghoulia being left behind on the shelves.

This. Seeing all of those SS Ghoulias is a bummer, since Ghoulia is one of my faves. The DT Ghoulias went quick at most stores around here, Frankie was the one I saw the most of. Finding my DT Ghoulia two weeks ago was nearly a miracle.

For those of you that have W1 DT Frankie and Cleo in stores near you, would anyone be willing to pick them up for me?  The only W1 DT I have heard of locally is an hour away and it was Ghoulia whom I am not interested in.

Also, is there a difference in face paint on the two versions of Cupid?  I saw signature Cupid a few months ago and didn't really like her and just tonight I saw the 1600 version of her at Walmart (got a new shipment of just her I think) and for some reason I liked her a lot better.

They must be slightly different subspecies. Or, you know, gorgons could be one of those species where the males and females look different ... Just sayin'!
Also she doesn't appear to  have glasses, so everyone (expect gorgons and gargoyles)  will turn to stone  :what:
Well then maybe the females don't turn people to stone ... oh wait. ;)

I almost wondered if I should take a huge photo of all the misc things in my clothes box but then I realized I could never ever fit it all into one shot. COME ON, BRAIN. LAGOONA IS NUDE ON THE EDGE OF MY DRESSER, SITTING THERE ALL EMBARRASSED BECAUSE OF YOU. :cry:

That's ok.  I have a naked Ghoulia tied up and suspended bondage style from my ceiling above my other dolls.

What can I say.  I was bored one afternoon, and my husband said "I'm hanging her up like that!"

I want another Rochelle to give different hair to but I can't justify getting another one right now, even though I'd love to have another whole one to be able use bits and peices of her stock as well. x_x

Then there's the fact that I need all the dresses from the roller girls. Not the dolls, the dresses...but I have to get the dolls to get the dresses and I can't find them really. That on top of the dolls I do -need- to have.

TOO MUCH WANT!

In box pictures do not wow me, at all. I want Howleen, really only because I never found the two-pack at Target and at least I'd have a Howleen. I kinda like Operetta, at least her outfit, and I need to replace mine... I hope someone finds these in a store, and isn't a scalper so some pics can surface outta box...

From what you can see in the pictures of the Dance Class dolls, they do look cute. I can't wait to see actual, clear shots of them.

Although, does anyone else find it a bit odd that this seller supposedly has them in hand and read to ship, but Mattel hasn't even released promo shots yet? Makes me kinda skeptical.

I'm not too impressed either :) (Just hoping that I end up liking them!) I do really like Howleen's hair... but really not feeling the outfits on any of them. Too plain. Though Robecca might be interesting once we see a better photo?

They probably got them on Taobao, which is basically the online Chinese black market. Just about everything on that site has been stolen from the factories. So yes, that eBay seller most likely is selling stolen goods. Some people just don't care. I'm sure some people even get a thrill out of it.

Anyway, Howleen looks pretty cute. The rest of them ... meh. If those are the actual dolls, I'll be giving them a miss.

Yeah, that's why I quit buying stuff from TaoBao :c Hasbro and Mattel can't improve their products if they aren't getting any money! Still, that Lagoona is tempting; are those TENTACLE ballet shoes??? @_@

I asked a Hasbro rep about Taobao once - back when that prototype G4 Minty was making the rounds - and they said there's nothing on that site that's legit (at least in terms of their own products) and that they're trying to do something about it ... I don't think there's really anything they can do about it other than pay their factory workers well enough that they don't feel the need to steal stuff and sell it on the black market. And while those of us with scruples can stand on principle and say we won't buy anything from places like Taobao, there are too many people out there who are too greedy to care. They want something that no one else has, or they want it before everyone else has it.  :(

The dolls look real the art just looks a little.. off... to me somehow, i dunno maybe they changed it slightly.

I think it might have something to do with the artists changing. I know Howleen's art on the official website looks significantly different than the earlier characters, and I can see it in the weretwins as well. It was around the time that they were added to the lineup that the artists changed.

Definitely not what I was expecting. Can't say as I'm too excited now that I've seen them, but they are in-box. I reserve the right to fall in love when I see them out of box and properly styled.

I think Howleen is my biggest disappointment; I was expecting an actual pink afro, not pink pigtails. And her top looks sort of like Lagoona's yoga/Coffin Bean outfit. Meh. Lagoona's outfits are hit or miss (love her 2.0 and I think her signature outfit is really cute, minus the platform flip-flops), and this one is a miss for me.

I do like what I can make out of Robecca's outfit; looks like she's "Tap" as opposed to the 80s inspired ensemble that the blurb brought to mind by "the Robot". And Operetta looks like hers might be fun.

I feel the same about these as I did initially with the RM line. It's grown on me, but I wasn't very impressed when they originally showed pics at Toy Fair. Both lines are definitely a bit different than the usual offerings, so props to the creative team for that. But I feel that both RM and DC are designed by a "B" team, where they lack a certain amount of imagination. There's something missing that even DT and the swimsuit lines had, a uniqueness, Now, Scaris seems to have "it", in my opinion. So MH hasn't quite jumped to "Gothic Barbie" quite yet.

Eee! I'm seemingly in the minority of someone who thinks signature Howleen looks ridiculous (in a bad way), but omg, poofy pink pigtails! MUST HAVE! I also love Robecca's tiny top hat, Opry's spider-web dress is super cute, and if Lala's ballet slippers really are tentacle-based, well, I will just die of happiness. I wasn't super interested in this line, but now I'm definitely excited for Howleen and Lagoona. :3 Much more interesting than the Roller Maze line, at first glance...

I think Howleen is awesome, love the pink hair (of course, when don't I :D) She's my fave. Robecca's tiny hat is totally fabulous! Lagoona, I hope those are tentacles too! omg :inlove: Operetta's look is always so similar... I'll probably change her up quite a bit when I get her, but she is really pretty!

I like Robecca in purple though, she's the nicest one out of these. Don't dig Howleen in the cherry pink hair, I expected more neon hot pink... I really wanted Howleen to be cool, because I don't think i will be able to get the sister pack Howleen, and the Dance version could be a good replacement, I thought...

Might get Lagoona because she seem to have really nice face-up, but I am so disappointed...

I'm in the wait and see camp. These could easily be prototypes, although the fact that they're in boxes suggests that they aren't. I am underwhelmed, though. I have to admit that I too was expecting Howleen to have lighter pink hair like that custom someone did. And her outfit looks more like pyjamas than street clothes.

So I started my first ever rooting project today! My CaM Seamonster Kressida has been sitting on my dresser for a few months now. No matter what I do I can't seem to really bond with her. I've tried different hairstyles and poses, but nothing's really... clicked. So I'm going to try to root her hair and change her face up a little.

For her hair I'm planning to use the black from the wig she came with. I'll root it in a mohawk and flock the sides of her head. Kinda like Venus but with flock on both sides. I'd also like to paint her tentacles a different color, but I haven't figured out what color yet. I might paint her lips the same color, but again, I haven't decided yet.

I don't really care for the Dance Class dolls. I think the box art looks better than the actual dolls. I think I will just try to snag Lagoona's outfit by itself somewhere. These could have easily been fashion packs. I wish Howleen had a better outfit but I'm happy she has another doll so those who couldn't find the sister pack can finally own her if they like the Dance version.

I'm not really feeling the Dance dolls. They're okay, I kind of like Robecca, and Lagoona's makeup,  but they're not really channeling their respective dance styles to me. They almost seem to be something of a mishmash between Skull Shores and Dead Tired.

Since Skull Shores started trickling out to stores this time last year, we'll probably be finding these on shelves soon. I may change my mind on them once I see them in person. The photos are a bit washed out, so maybe their colors will make me reconsider them.



I think Howleen is my biggest disappointment; I was expecting an actual pink afro, not pink pigtails.

Lol, I was hoping for a pink afro as well. :) The pigtails really threw me off to who she was initially because it just wasn't what I had imagined.

Though, I don't really like that color lipstick on Robecca. If I get her, I'll probably change the color. I'm loving the ponytail and the top hat, though!

I take back what I said about wanting Lagoona when I took a GOOD Look at the pictures, at a glance I thought I wanted her, after a good night sleep, I realized that I was just tired. >,>; Her shoes look cool though. :P

As For Those Wondering About the Werewolf Sister Packs:

I keep seeing people's questions about them being buried so I'll answer with what I can and notice. XP I still see them around on shelves of one of the Target I go to and they've been there for a good while. I've never even seen them ever since they were released until around near the end of Summer, so don't give up hope!!

I've now looked as closely as I can at the pics for about..5 minutes? Yes, I am this wierd :P
On deeper thought: - I really like Lagoonas lipstick and I'm eager to see her tutu out of box XD It might be really cute ^__^ I also like the purple? in her make-up. Operetta sadly does nothing for me, but I'd like to see a close-up of that white make-up under her eye. Howleen have a really interresting haircolor. I might consider getting her for that purpose. (She would make an interresting lolita.) I also like her belt a lot. Robecca, I like the handbag, hat and purple make, but her clothes feel awefully blend. None the less, I will wait patiently for owner-pics :)

Look on the bright side, they're likely made in China like the other slimline dolls and probably have no head glue! If Robecca's faceup looks as nice IRL as it does in that pic, I'll definitely be swapping out my signature doll for her. :3
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on October 06, 2012, 10:24:27 AM
Though, I adore Howleen, and I'm trying to find an excuse to get her. I love that they didn't go for the normal bubblegum pink for her... I like other kinds of pinks, too.

I think that those Dance class dolls are nice and pretty but I don´t feel that I must have them. Maybe I change my mind when we get more pictures. Still my favorites are Lagoona and Howleen. Lagoonas dress looks cute but not so ballerina as it could. I like Howleens pink hair but her outfit is a bit boring. I have to say that I expect more. Robecca and Operetta are both pretty but nothing more.

Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: ShortyBoo on October 06, 2012, 12:48:22 PM
I'm quite disappointed in them. I'd been putting off getting a Lagoona, thinking that Lagoona in a ballet outfit would be gorgeous, but that just isn't the case. I was picturing her with pastel pink shimmery lipstick and a light pink leotard and tutu, so the darker makeup and all the black in the outfit is really throwing me. I guess I prefer less makeup on them because the DT dolls I think have the best face ups. I may be alone in thinking that, though.

With Howleen, I was definitely hoping for an afro, but I guess I don't mind the pigtails. Though it doesn't really look very "hip hop" to me. But then again, neither is her outfit. They look like pajamas and while I realize it's common now for people to wear pajama pants in public, I can't stand that trend. I was definitely hoping that Howleen's hair would be either a pale pink, like Fluttershy or like the pink in Rochelle's hair. I may still pick her up, though since I want a Howleen and I apparently missed the set at my Target. It's probably for the better, though, since that set would be more expensive and I didn't really want the Clawdeen from the set anyway.

I'm not making any true judgments on them until I can see better pictures of them, but so far I think I like most of them. Really I think I'll end up buying /anything/ that's Robecca, and I just love Lagoona in general, but I still think I like them. I just hope we get clearer pictures soon, if they are real!

I hope he has articulated wrists. It's hard to tell from that tiny, pixelated picture, but it looks as though he doesn't, which would be annoying. If it turns out he does, though, then I'll most likely upgrade.

Also, I can't help but wonder whether Deuce and Rochelle are going to get together as part of this Scaris line, seeing as how Cleo is nowhere to be seen ...

The more I look at that Dance Class Lagoona's outfit, the more I think it would look much better on Draculaura. Actually, it looks like Lagoona forgot her dance outfit and borrowed Lala's. It just doesn't suit Lagoona at all.

I'm wondering if anyone has seen the Howleen set in Michigan??
I keep looking but no luck.  I only saw a spot for her on a shelf when I was visiting Seattle..
I don't want to break down and buy it off ebay because I have that feeling that when I do she'll show up.

I'm from Michigan and I've never seen the Werewolf Sisters IRL:(  I KNOW we got a small shipment when they were clearanced out, but I wasn't lucky enough to find a set.  Since then, they haven't had a shelf space in the new layouts for MH, so who knows.  I bought a set from someone here way back when.  I've stopped obsessively checking them on Target's site, but that would be your best bet.  Would anyone kindly post the Werewolf Sisters DCPI Target website thingy?  I no longer have it :blush:

Thanks for responding its nice to her from someone in the same situation.  I was at another target today. I asked an to see if they had any and apparently another store (in Michigan) has/had 8 I didn't feel like driving over there, so I think I'll just let it happen if it happens.  I saw two spaces at two different targets one for regular price and another for about 8.95...  I don't get why they were clearanced out but I'll still keep an eye out.  I'll give Targets website a go thanks for the advice.

The dance class was not what I had in mind  :|

At least on those pics the outfits don't look to "monsterish" at all the worse is Lagoona,who like someone said before looks like she took a outfit of Draculaura, and are those mad science shoes?

Some of them look like batsuits and others like piyamas, and I don't like Howleen wit pink hair and according to the letters under her name she is supposed to use a hip hop outfit.  :huh: I hope we get better pics.

Only Operetta looks decent.

I think that Lagoonas outfit could just have been executed so much better.. Well all of them could.
Lagoonas look like a bathing suit with a bit of tulle just pasted on. Mattel, I know you can make good looking ballerina tutus, your barbies have them, so why this cheap stuff for MH?
Howleens, as many already have mentioned, look more likeva pyjamas than strett/hiphop. I expected hammer pants and a hoodie. Howleens signature outfit is more hiphop than this.
Operettas is decent but boring. Her DDG outfit is more Swing than this, and I don't see Swing at all in the drawn picture outfit.
Robeccas is the only one I kind of like. I like her in purple. I want to see a picture of her shoes, since they look adorable on the artwork.

Of course I need to see better pictures to really know what I think of these, but I don't think I will change my mind that much. I was just really disappointed

Post by: Foxtale on October 07, 2012, 05:58:44 AM
Just to put in my two cents on the dance dolls. I like how they each cover a different type of dance that matches their character, but the execution of the costumes appears to be slightly lacking from these pictures. The box art is cute as always but ill have to see them deboxed or irl to judge. :-)

Question: are there any good sales or coupons for ghouls rule in the us? I really want to see it. Is mattel or anyone going to stream it so I can decide if I want the dvd?
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: saply on October 07, 2012, 07:23:23 AM
I really like Lagoona's dance outfit. The black is fitting because come on, it's Monster High. What kind of ballet do you think they'd be performing there? XD

The dress doesn't have the fullness of a ballet tutu, true, but there are lots of different costumes for dancers besides that. I think it resembles one of those dresses you usually see in paintings (http://www.paintinghere.org/painting/ballerina-6752.html); it's very simple and elegant and shows off her beauty. Plus those shoes look so fab I can't even handle it.

I went to the Dollar section of Target again and saw that they added a MH pink nail polish! Luckily I didn't get it!

For some reason, they have same the werewolf sister sets, still! To the point in which I think they're just shelf warmers now, weird. I DID Notice how those Howleens had very badly placed eyes, that might be why they haven't been bought off yet.

The Dance Class ghouls....they look OK, I absolutely adore Opies' dress though, and I need that Howleen, although her outfit sucks, that would get customised straight away.

I know with the Classroom dolls they seem to be part of an online bundle with the school playset, so that might be why they took so much of the stuff out... though if there's a chance to find a Home Ick Frankie for me or my fiance that'd be nice :3

Has anyone tried cutting Abby's hair? I have GR Abby, but have not really bonded with her. I've been thinking she would look really cute with a bob cut. I just don't want her hair to stick out in every direction ecause of her crimped hair.

I did and it was a disaster. It will stick out everywhere! But I'm sure it would work if you totally rehaired her and then gave her a bob haircut. The only reason the Roller Maze Abbey's bob hair stays in place is cause of all that hairspray!

Ooh, I'm glad I saw that about the Mad Science Lagoona being re-released before I settled for School's Out or SS Lagoona. I'll just keep an eye out for her, then. Luckily, we tend to go to Wal-Mart 3-4 times a month.

Do the outfits for the Bratzillas fit MH dolls at all? There were two I was looking at (a pink outfit and a sparkly red dress with black fur trim), but they're kind of pricy and I don't want to get them and find out they're way too big.

Ok, apparently they do fit. There's a pic someone uploaded on Amazon that shows Clawdeen in one of the outfits, including the shoes.

I love this outfit, especially the jacket and shoes: http://www.amazon.com/Bratz-Bratzillaz-Fashion-Pack-Blood/dp/B0086W8Z4C/
I actually really like the dress, too, I just don't think it would look good on any of the dolls I have (or want to get) but if it were pink, I would definitely grab it.

I think I'm going to get this one: http://www.amazon.com/Bratz-Bratzillaz-Fashion-Pack-Style/dp/B0086W8Y6G/ The skirt and top are really cute and I like the boots as well. I think Rochelle would look really nice in it and so would Lagoona.

For those that missed them the first time around, the Classroom dolls are apparently getting a re-release, however this time they won't be coming with their lockers. They've been popping up on ebay this way, and Walmart has new codes for them in their system.

Old with locker:

http://www.walmart.com/ip/17114248
http://www.walmart.com/ip/17114247

New without:

http://www.walmart.com/ip/21141090
http://www.walmart.com/ip/21141082
http://www.walmart.com/ip/21141084

There's no prices listed for them yet, but I'm wondering if they'll be dropping the price because of this?


Those are really good news  :shocked:hopefully I can finally  grab the mad science Lagoona.

What I never understood is why Ghoulia in a sports outfit, when in the episodes and her dairy is very clear she is slow and not good on sports, so why she is teaching it? that's very confusing.  :shrug:

It is actually explained in one of the episodes, she gets upset that the Zombies are always picked last for "dodgeball" and so she goes about proving that through her smarts [and math. GO MATH!] that she can win the game.

Please oh please oh please oh please let this be a sign that they are expanding the Classroom line!  I've been waiting for Drama Draculaura since, forever!  I'm REALLY disapointed they are getting rid of the lockers though:(  I use them to store all the little bits and pieces from all the dolls.  I was hoping they would expand the line and eventually give everyone their own locker.  I liked the little name plate stickers that came with the set so you could tell them apart from each other.  Now I'm crossing my fingers they pulled them out so that they could sell them in some sort of locker bulk pack, or something.

If not, I'll have to actively hunt a few more down now:(  3 is just not enough :lol:

The worst thing ever happened. I was trying to get off DT Clawdeen's head to put a necklace on her, and the peg broke and ended up totally inside her head. It took me a half hour to get it out. I was so terrified it would be stuck in there forever, or it was broken beyond repair. Thankfully the circle part was not broken completely and I managed to put things back together. But what if I hadn't? Then what are you supposed to do if the peg breaks?

And it looks from Lagoona's art that she has a tentacle pattern on her tutu, which is AWESOME and I hope translated to the doll! I actually really like the "goth ballerina" look for her. It's a nice darker change from her pale pink and turquoise :D

And Howleen's hair, can't stop squeeing over it :squee:
It figures I agree with you 100%  :P

Hee! :hug: Twinsies! (PS messaging you back soon, just been uber busy  ><; )

I was so sad too when Drama Lala didn't happen! And I do hope that the lockerless classroom dolls will be cheaper... they were expensive here so I didn't get them, but I probably would cave if they weren't as much. And if they expanded them to include Lala and more! :D Which character's favourite subject is art? I want an art class doll...  :satisfied:

I wonder if they'll come in economical boxes since there won't be so much accessories to come with them.

I can't take credit, I found it while poking around on other sites. :) It looks like their journals/survival guides are also going to be absent. Here's an image from ebay (seller topdog2000):

No lockers? Aww that's no good.  :( I really liked them for storage and decoration.

I'm another feeling disappointed about the Dance Class. Maybe brighter pictures will change my mind, but at the moment the designs and execution really seem lacking. I would like the Robecca if they didn't skimp on the fringe. Howleen looks like she is wearing PJs and I would have liked lighter pink hair. Operetta would be better with her hair down... if it wasn't for that purple mask clashing so badly with everything else! Lagoona just seems so-so from that picture, which is a bit of a let-down as a few of her recent releases here have been to me (SS, Fashion Pack). They could have at least done something with her hair, like a pseudo-bun, instead of just leaving it.

School started again and I haven't been feeling that great lately, so I decided to try and cheer myself up by going to the biggest toystore I know!

I went to ToysXL (toystore in the Netherlands) and found this:

So I was really glad to find out I had enough money to buy one of them!

Hi and welcome back! That was very sweet of you to give some money to the homeless man. Hopefully he will spend it on food and not alcohol. My brother has a nice policy that whenever homeless people ask him for money, he says he'll buy them something to eat instead, that way he knows they're not just trying to pay for their drug habit or whatever.

Anyway ... you got a nice looking Venus!

...INTO THE CLOSET THEY GO! *Gently places them in hidden compartment in closet*

That's exactly where my werecats are!! Are you waiting for Christmas too?

Hey, so you know how the sig Abbey rerelease supposedly has leg warmers that are different lengths and that don't come down over her boots? I just found one at the shop this afternoon (along with Rochelle and Jackson) and her leg warmers looked to be the same length. When I got her home and out of the box, I found I could get them most of the way down over her boots, too. I wonder if maybe the different length leg warmers are defective rather than on purpose? I will take a pic later.

Out of curiosity, did the original sig Abbey's boots have holes in the bottom? I noticed that they are pretty much the same as Abbey's snowboarding fashion pack boots except that they're all white instead of multi-colored.
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: LuvlyMelody on October 08, 2012, 11:34:28 PM
With my Abbey, I bought the re-release when Rochelle came out, and when I first saw her in box I thought she had uneven legwarmers like others said. When I took her home, I asked about her here if it really was uneven, what I ended up doing was opening the box from below, and neatly with tweezers fidgeted around with her and the legwarmers became even, and a little went over the top of her boots.

My hypothesis is that the way she was packaged/prepared after the first release was that her leg warmers weren't adjusted completely. Kinda like they just didn't want to make it "as fancy" as the first time they released her to save time on production. Iono, that's just my opinion.
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: pukunui on October 09, 2012, 12:07:42 AM
Yeah, that could be it. Although I'm sure some people have said that their Abbey's leg warmers couldn't go over the boots, but maybe they just didn't try hard enough or something.

EDIT: Now the question is, of course, do I keep sig Abbey or not? I actually quite like her face, but I prefer my I <3 Fashion Abbey's shorter hair and blue lipstick. Abbey isn't one of my favorites, either, so I don't know that I necessarily want more than one of her.
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: saply on October 09, 2012, 05:10:10 AM
Maybe they packaged her that way to show off the boots? I know I had no idea what kind of footwear (if any) Abbey was sporting until the rerelease.
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: Colorscapesart on October 09, 2012, 05:23:45 AM
Yep, Abbey's legwarmers are even sizes, they just slip down if you're not careful!

I dunno how to pick an Abbey myself :P  I just go Pokemon on her.

That was very sweet of you to give some money to the homeless man. Hopefully he will spend it on food and not alcohol. My brother has a nice policy that whenever homeless people ask him for money, he says he'll buy them something to eat instead, that way he knows they're not just trying to pay for their drug habit or whatever.

Everybody seemed to ignore him, I thought it was sad! He also only had 5 cents in his hand, so I gave him a few euro's! I hope he bought something nice with it too. Your brother's plan is nice! I used to do that with a homeless man that always sat near the shopping mall. Gave him food every day. :3

I really hope they don't make Catrine a Black Friday release. While I do always get to Wal-Mart first on Black Friday every year, I wouldn't want to do it for anything where the quality isn't consistent. Which would include MLP and MH. And I just can't see how there would be any way to look over multiples of her to find the nicest face up when the store's so packed, even if there weren't others looking for her there.

I'm betting on November, because it will give plenty of time for the holiday shoppers. But I wonder if that means the rest of the Scaris line would be out at the same time?

I feel so awful.. went to a different Walmart today (because we went to lunch with the person who regularly gives us rides to Walmart) to grocery shop and I actually found Wave 2 re-release Lagoona for my fiance, as he REALLY wanted her... got her home and her right shoulder can barely move it's so tight, the head band slipped off her to reveal AWFUL bald spots (from them not bothering to put plugs in) and super loose hip joints... we obviously contacted Mattel over it.. but I still feel so bad because my fiance really wanted her.. luckily her face up seems very similar to his Mad Science (School's Out has some added pink eye shadow and slight different colored lip stick) so MS looks awesome in School's Out's outfit.. but it's the principle of the thing, ya know?

We threw School's Out into MS's outfit for now and I pulled her hair up to the best of my ability until we know what Mattel is gonna do... of course we really don't wanna have to return her to Mattel as he wanted the outfit and we'll never find a new one at our local store, bleh. /end rant.

All of my dealings with Mattel have gone without them asking for the doll back. However, Mattel's customer service varies GREATLY. Some members here have been asked to send dolls back, some haven't.. very hit and miss.

Well the distribution over here is really confusing. We used to be behind, a lot. They sold so much signature Ghoulia's and the classroom dolls a while ago. Nowadays I've seen the rollermaze, ghouls rule and a lot of the re-releases! But also older dolls like Toralei.

i thought only three were small boxed and the rest were deluxe?

The Scaris line is going to be split, with some being in the larger deluxe boxes and the rest being in the thin boxes at a lower price point. :) Frankie, Clawdeen, Rochelle, Jinafire, and Skelita are all deluxe dolls, while the more economical dolls will be Draculaura, Ghoulia, Abbey, and Deuce. It'll be interesting to see the packaging on Catrine and how much Walmart plans on charging for her.

I'm really excited for these dolls! I can't wait for them to start shipping to stores.

The scaris line will be like the skull shores line no need to worry or rush unless Deuce turns into Gil but I am not paying Angelic Dreams prices again unless they give a deal
i thought only three were small boxed and the rest were deluxe?

They're making you pay for shipping? They asked me to return my GR Frankie before they'd send me a replacement, but they were kind enough to send me a prepaid shipping label. I can't send it back, though, because a) I'm not actually in the States and b) I have modified the top (I had my wife cut off the lightning bolt skirt bit) and have sold her boots and mask already ... I'll just have to put up with a wonky-eyed doll with a top that has holes and runs in it. I'm hoping maybe the GR dolls will eventually show up here and then I can get a replacement and make sure I'm getting a good one.

They're e-mailing us a normal return label and explained we need to get a box/bubble mailer to ship it out and we have to pay for proof of mailing. To be honest we're a little annoyed and are considering it out of sheer frustration and being able to keep the stuff from the doll, but I'm trying to do SOMETHING with the hair to make it look not so thin on the top. We also realized after the fact we lack a printer so it would be kinda hard to print out the label...

I'm super confused about what the Walmart scavenger hunt actually entails, but I checked and three stores near me are doing it. Hopefully more details will emerge soon, because all I can gather right now is I need to be at walmart on x date XD

I really hope the search culminates in Catrine! She is like my dream doll  :heart:
lol watch it be the finale of the event, everyone participated will get their first chance to pick up a Catrine and buy her, but once they go to retrieve her- THEY'RE ALL GONE CAUSE THE SCALPERS GOT TO EM WHILE THEY WERE DOING THEIR SCAVENGER HUNT!!! XD oh gheeze I'm terrible. :P

If they ever do release the Scaris line, I might actually try to grab a Deuce or two to trade here.

For those of you that have W1 DT Frankie and Cleo in stores near you, would anyone be willing to pick them up for me?  The only W1 DT I have heard of locally is an hour away and it was Ghoulia whom I am not interested in.

Anyone still have these around and willing to get them for me?

So, in Ghouls Rule, Abbey says this to Heath:
Quote
"You saved me from Yeti. In my country, that is how you ask girl to dance."

Hang on, isn't she a yeti? I feel like Mattel keep forgetting that. All of her outfits since her signature have been snow or ice themed, not yeti themed, and that's kinda disappointing.

Still, I love her dynamic with Heath and how they're total opposites. Funny and serious, weak and strong, fire and ice. I ship it ~<3 :silly:

I just saw a commercial for the Monster High movie. Anyone planning on getting it? It actually looks pretty neat!
My friend bought it yesterday and let me borrow it.  Just got through watching it, when I should have had 100% full attention on a art history paper. xD
If I had to rate it, I'd give it at least an 8 out of 10. I thought it was pretty good and "silly/stupid-cute". To me, it's the best MH special. Liked it more than I thought I would. I generally liked the normies, especially Claire (goth girl) and her friend Chad.
I also liked how Jackson got some good attention and whatnot in the movie. I know it's a bit of a running joke/gag, but it always did bug me how Jackson would seem to get "the short end of the stick" in comparison/favor to Holt. But I may be biased because he's my favorite male MH character. :heart:

I will say, the characters sure have a weird/funny way of dancing in the movie. xD

Mini spoiler-warning, just in case (nothing really "plot-important", just thought it was neat)
Spoiler
In the dance scene / " We all get along now, so let's dance! ;D" part at the end of the movie, I thought it was pretty neat and cute that a few of the characters from past CG specials were in it. I know I saw the Skull Shores guys Andy and "guy with the big ears" dancing along with the others. Even "Monster Andy" was dancing a bit! :)

I agree, but I think it was also a case that Heath felt he needed to be "even" with her as well. I think it also had to do with the fact that he only had to be saved from problems he caused lol. And Abbey saved his butt more than once!

Those are my thought almost exactly! It made me happy to see my favorite MH guy get some positive attention. I still feel bad for him. Claire was a nice girl, and I liked her but I wish her makeup had been better thought out than just a pure black smear on her eyes. Nuance though. Jackson was adorable ^^ It made me want Holt strangely enough. Bear with me if this makes sense. Does anyone feel like Jackson gets short changed and despite being part monster still isn't treated like everyone else for being a 'Normie'. I hope that changes after the lessons learned in this special. I'd like to see him more accepted as 'one of the guys'.

So, apparently one fan in The Netherlands returned their broken Draculaura and Mattel sent them a Scaris Lala in return.
http://marsmcflytrap.tumblr.com/post/33362890173/the-line-travel-to-scaris-is-out

For the past two years, the end of October/early November has typically been a new release time for MH dolls in the past. In 2010 we got Holt and Ghoulia, and 2011, Skull Shores and Toralei. I hope this means we may be seeing the Scaris dolls soon!

We also realized after the fact we lack a printer so it would be kinda hard to print out the label...

Blah, I'm sorry Icicle. :( When I contacted them about my messed up Robecca I got the same statement from the Mattel rep I spoke with. They told me that this was going to be their new policy when returning Monster High dolls in the foreseeable future. For some odd reason, they still sent the new doll out and just forgot about having me return the faulty one (I did contact them after, but they told me not to bother).

I was really annoyed at the time I first contacted them, especially when I've seen plenty of kids on other message boards abusing the system to get free dolls, so I can sympathize. I didn't mind so much about them requesting I return the doll, but I was aggravated about the notion of having to pay for return shipping for a faulty item. I had a feeling things were going to be changing though, they had made it just too easy to take advantage of them in the past. A lot of bad eggs seem to have ruined it for the rest of us.

If you haven't seen the Ghouls Rule episode and don't want anything spoiled here is a ***spoiler alert.***



OK so I have a question, at the end when Clawdeen saw this guy she liked at the normie/monster dance was he a normie dressed as a vampire or was he a vampire?

Also, someone had mentioned that Abbey told Holt that he saved her from the yeti and the yeti is her dad.  My assumption is she just meant the ice sculpture he saved her from not necessarily any reference to her dad.  Just my guess though.

Abbey's father has been referred to as "The Yeti" but I believe that all of Abbey's kin are technically Yetis, so there's more than one.

I thought the movie was great. I kinda felt sorry for Jackson, but at least in a way he got his own screen time and we got to "understand" him a little more. Now I'm kinda tempted in getting the Signature Jackson. >,>; But I'll resist. Not many gripes about it.

Well, maybe one:
Spoiler
The ending, how does it go from one moment "Rawr, we're gonna get you with out torches and pitchforks!!" then all of a sudden. "Oh a party?? ALRIGHT!!" I understand it's a Direct to DVD movie and they tend to do that, but still.

During the part where all the ghouls were plotting to get back at the normies, I was all like: "I wanna be a part of it!!"

The voice for Rochelle, nothing wrong with it, but I would've expected Rochelle with a soft not-so-angry french accent. But it turned out fine. :P

I wasn't a fan of Rochelle's voice in the special. Erin Fitzgerald (who also voices Abbey, Cupid, and Spectra), I love her and feel that she's normally a perfect fit for the characters she portrays, but I think that her Rochelle voice just sounded too similar to the voice she uses for Abbey. I also imaged the character a bit softer and higher pitched. I wonder if Erin was just a stand-in for now, since Rochelle didn't have many lines, or if she's the permanent voice actress for her?

I hate the curly nest of a mess my signature doll had and the DDG doll has her original hair style still. I also really like the Howleen with the pigtails.. and pink.. pink wins. Not sure about Lagoona or Robecca though, will have to wait for them to come to stores. I passed on the RM dolls though so I don't feel guilty buying any of these, although the longer those RM dolls look at me the more tempted I am to get Frankie and Lagoona.. argghh

I have to say less than low budget. To me they look kinda like designs for a beach line that didn't get chosen and were scrapped, but then brought back as dance "leotard" outfits to make into another line. Maybe that's why their outfits look so mismatched. >,<;

Nope, no stands. He was not happy about it either, because he uses a big glass display case and likes all of his monsters to have stands. It's actually a very nice display... not sure if he has it on his flickr. But he buys dolls for all of the fashions as well. It almost looks like MH museum display!

Now that I've seen those new pics of Dance Class Howleen, I definitely want her. She's adorable. I'll have to find or make another outfit for her, though. I don't like her pajama outfit. I love Lagoona's face up, but I'm still not liking the outfit. I just see those colors, and think of Draculaura. I think if I don't manage to get a Classroom Lagoona when they're re-released, then I'll pick up Dance Class Lagoona instead.

And seeing Scaris Draculaura out of the box, she doesn't look as pretty as the promo pic, so I'm going to pass on her. It's probably for the best anyhow, since I already have a Lala, and I have limited room for dolls.

Edit: I just read about the no stands thing. Why wouldn't they include stands? Do they even sell stands separately? I didn't see them on their site.

Hmmm, I think they look better out of the box, but the Dance Class dolls still do nothing for me. Robecca's outfit is cute, I do like her shoes.

Nope, no stands. He was not happy about it either, because he uses a big glass display case and likes all of his monsters to have stands. It's actually a very nice display... not sure if he has it on his flickr. But he buys dolls for all of the fashions as well. It almost looks like MH museum display!
Now that, I would love to see. I always wanted to get a big glass display for something (Like my MH Dolls). Maybe this will give me some inspiration or ideas. :P

He does have it on Flickr. :)

I remember glancing through his album before and needing to pick my jaw up off the floor. I absolutely love how he has them all arranged.


Edit: I just read about the no stands thing. Why wouldn't they include stands? Do they even sell stands separately? I didn't see them on their site.

When questioned about it, Mattel reported that they would no longer be including stands on their budget-line MH dolls to help cut down on costs. :/ They do offer stands on their spare parts page for $4.00 each, but once shipping is factored in, it's just not worth it unless you're buying in bulk. I think it's something like $5.00 for a minimum order. They factor their shipping rates by the final cost of what you're ordering, rather than weight.

I don't think DDG Lala is all that sought after, I've had mine pseudo for sale since I got her and 0 interest.

as for the dance class, getting Lagoona and a couple of Howleens. Yay cheap howleens.
Maybe try selling the clothes and doll seperately? Iuno what I would do with her once I got her since I don't like her at all.

Now that I've seen those new pics of Dance Class Howleen, I definitely want her. She's adorable. I'll have to find or make another outfit for her, though. I don't like her pajama outfit. I love Lagoona's face up, but I'm still not liking the outfit. I just see those colors, and think of Draculaura. I think if I don't manage to get a Classroom Lagoona when they're re-released, then I'll pick up Dance Class Lagoona instead.

And seeing Scaris Draculaura out of the box, she doesn't look as pretty as the promo pic, so I'm going to pass on her. It's probably for the best anyhow, since I already have a Lala, and I have limited room for dolls.

Edit: I just read about the no stands thing. Why wouldn't they include stands? Do they even sell stands separately? I didn't see them on their site.

You really put my thoughts into written words here XD I also want the Dance Howleen but I will definitely make her a new outfit.

I think Scaris Lala is still really cute, her face up is lovely!

This would be me. I would buy them for the doll. :D

Though Tumblr is freaking out because the outfits are too 'simple'. I think they forget that this is for class, and practice outfits tend to be simple. :D

For the past two years, the end of October/early November has typically been a new release time for MH dolls in the past. In 2010 we got Holt and Ghoulia, and 2011, Skull Shores and Toralei. I hope this means we may be seeing the Scaris dolls soon!

I agree with the Lagoona lovin <3  she's so purdy!

I wish the swing outfit on Op had a longer skirt, but if so it would look too similar to her dot dress I suppose :\

Though that hair bow is super cute <3 I wore my chubby bunny hair bow to dance class with my poodle skirt and had the best SWING-time evar!

I also like Howleen more in the out of the box images....and yes Robecca for ballroom! (Fox Trot? They need a Kitsune/nine tails lady  :cool: )

Ooo I'm loving what I'm seeing with the Scaris box! Not too sure about Draculaura herself though.

Now I have to see Lagoona in person before I decide if I want this one or not. >,<;

It would make a perfect swimsuit outfit along with those shoes. Is that seaweed or actual tentacles?? Meh either way, I would like it better if they were a greenish color, but they still look amazing!

So, Mattel does expect us to pay ALL the shipping costs (getting a box/mailer, shipping, PLUS Certificate of Mailing) to do the exchange.. and while I get that's their new policy and all that... we're probably not gonna go through with it for a doll that will probably have the same patchy baldness, since that's asking for a ride to the store to get the stuff, then a ride to the post office, which we can't get there before they close for business... which speaking of I finally snapped a picture of it...

It's about that way evenly throughout the hair, added to thin plugs. I was actually able to get it into a ponytail that looks half way decent so at least if we're stuck with her until we can afford to get her rehaired she looks okay! Other than her not being able to hold her head forward (it was like that before I pulled her hair up)... but oh well, right now she's sporting the Mad Science outfit on my self because I felt awful for the poor doll.

Post by: ShortyBoo on October 11, 2012, 08:55:36 PM
That's weird that they're making you send her back at your expense. I've complained about two of my dolls so far, and both times I was sent a replacement right away (like I got the shipping confirmation email at the same time as the email from customer service) without having to send anything back to them. The first time I just told them all the issues I had with the doll (hair falling out, knee that wouldn't turn, head that won't tilt forward, etc) and pretty much just let them know that I think they should have more quality control for the dolls and they apologized and said they're going to send me a replacement. Then the second time, I contacted them because Spectra's arm was badly bent/curved and wanted to know if they had replacement arms for her that they could send me. They said they didn't have them for her, but would send me a new Spectra.

Both cases were this month (Oct. 4th for Rochelle and Oct. 11th for Spectra) so if they changed their policy, apparently not everyone got the memo. Out of curiosity, how did you contact them? Both times, I went to this page: http://service.mattel.com/us/ContactUs.aspx and clicked on "Email Us" at the bottom of the page. Maybe the people who cover emails don't have the same policies as the ones covering chat or phone complaints? Have you ever complained and had them send you a replacement before? I figure they must have a list of people who have complained before and maybe you get so many before they make you return the dolls?

We've gotten quite a few replacements (all without having to return anything + one voucher, but it's been under one or the other for names because it's been split between our dolls).. though this might be because we did it via the chat, as they asked us to do that as they didn't know which Lagoona they were talking about (despite us putting the correct product number, mind you!). But yes, it seems to be all over the place with how they handle their customer complaints because people have either had to send them back or not send them back and it's so.. spotty how they ask. I just wish it would be one blanket thing :|.

I will admit the only thing that bothers me is us having to front the cost of all the sending, since at that point it will be FAR more than what they're willing to send us in return.. nearly $22 for the doll, about $5 or so to get a bubble mailer then the cost of shipping + Certificate of Mailing is gonna be a lot more than what DDG Lagoona is :<. It also doesn't help that originally the rep said they would send a box + the pre-paid postage.

What they should do then is send the replacement doll and include a prepaid postage label inside the box that you could then slap over the old label and ship out the defective doll in the box the replacement came in. I've done that more than once with different companies. I remember doing this with Sony twice when I used to have a Vaio desktop computer. One time I had to have the keyboard replaced and the other time it was the monitor. They'd send the replacement, and gave me so many days to send back the defective item. If I didn't send it back, they'd charge the credit card they had on file for the full amount. I really wish all companies would handle RMAs like this.

After seeing new pics I think that I don´t like Robecca´s lipstick. It makes her look a bit harsh. I like more her signature version. Dance dolls Lagoona and Operetta looks really cute but Operetta looks always the same. And Howleen´s clothes are still boring. So I am waiting for Lagoona.
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: Jang on October 12, 2012, 02:53:02 AM
Haha, am I the only one who likes Robecca mainly because of her lips?  :biggrin:
I have signature Robecca's clothes and accessories, I think I buy the DC doll instead of the signature one and give the sig. clothes to her.
I think I might have to get the Operetta, since I have all the previous Operetta's too. :lookround:
And yet another Lagoona I don't like :/ I don't know what wrong, I really haven't liked any other Lagoona except the CR version.
And Howleen is just meh.

Does Howleen fit on the same stands the other dolls come with? I want Dance Class Howleen when she comes out, but I would need to get a stand for her since I only have a small part of my desk for displaying my dolls and so they all have to stand. I know she's smaller, so that's why I was wondering if she fits ok on the stands the other dolls come with.

I really hope Catrine DeMew comes with a stand. The absence of the large suitcase the Deluxe dolls come with makes me think she'll be part of the budget Scaris dolls and those ones don't come with stands.

Am I the only one a little concerned about the fact that there are no new Cleo dolls speculated to come out soon? All we've gotten lately are Ghouls Rule. I am a huge Cleo fan, and with the recent trip to Scaris, and all of the Rochelle/Deuce drama, I'm just a little concerned..... I am totally siding with Cleo!

I'm right there with you rayedelsol. Cleo's one of my absolute favorites of the ghouls and it's been bumming me out that she's getting the short end of the stick lately. In my neck of the woods at least, I've noticed that pretty much every release of her has sat around on shelves unfortunately, so Mattel may not be seeing much of a demand for her at the moment when compared to the rest. :/

I would have loved Cleo in the thin-boxed Scaris assortment, especially since her boyfriend was included (I really hope they don't have Deuce leave Cleo for Rochelle). I'm getting a bit worn out on the big three at the moment (Abbey/Ghoulia/Draculaura) and wish they had went with some of the characters that received less focus this year.

The regular female stands will fit Howleeen just fine. Despite her being shorter, her waist is actually similar in diameter to the other girls.

Ghouls Rule kind of faked me out on the Cleo/Deuce relationship and what was going to happen. I've never been a Cleo fan but she seems to work well with Deuce. On the other hand, the story about Deuce not being able to turn Rochelle to stone is so cute! I'm curious to see what will happen. The TRU shelves are full of poor Cleo and I've seen several kids pass on her for some of the more colorful monsters.

Poor Cleo :( She really has so much potential! I'm not a huge fan of the Cleo Dolls, but I've been waiting for my right Cleo to arrive. And she is supposed to be with Deuce! I hope she'll have a great comeback wery soon! :)

Post by: WeepingPiano on October 13, 2012, 09:47:37 AM
I think that if Deuce leaves Cleo and later ends up with Rochelle, that wouldn't be so bad, but if he leaves Cleo /for/ Rochelle, that would be weird.
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: ShortyBoo on October 13, 2012, 09:51:40 AM
I wonder if there is a real reason to why some dolls have tons of versions (Draculaura, Frankie, Ghoulia, Abbey, Clawdeen etc) where others don't. Is it really because the sell so much better? Because everytime I go looking for MH dolls, I find tons of Draculaura, Clawdeen, Ghoulia, Abbey and Frankie but rarely see anyone else. Besides Cleo, Lagoona seems to be kind of neglected as well. Most of her releases have been in the budget lines.

I think the Scaris dolls should have included Cleo, Spectra and Lagoona. Maybe if the Scaris line does well enough they could do a second wave with them.

I FOUND ROBECCA! I manned up and got up early and was at walmart by 10 am. they had so much stock! I originally went to get the ddg three pack with hopes of seeing Robecca or Venus and they were all there. Broke me could only pick one, and Venus had a wonky eye, the three pack was 13$ more, and Rpbecca was just too GROGEOUS to put down. *sigh* She's even better in real life. SO HAPPY.

If Deuce goes to Scaris and falls for Rochelle, I will chunk my Rochelle doll across the room!

Wow, now that you mention it and now that I think about it.....I haven't seen any Cleo whatsoever, other than the Ghouls Rule Cleo as well as the SS one in the 5-pack. Those are the only 2 I see. >_<

Don't chuck Rochelle across the room! She might shatter into a gazillion little stone pieces! >,<

I actually haven't seen any Cleos in awhile. Way back I remember always seeing tons of the Cleo/Deuce set and I remember thinking she wasn't as popular, but I think that maybe it was actually just the price of the set that kept it around for ages.

What always bothered me about Cleo is how she always has tinsel in her hair. I hate tinsel. Plus, she seems to look cock-eyed a lot more than any other character.

I feel like the only one who actually is kinda rooting for Rochelle to be with Duece *ducks and hides*

I think Cleos starting to grow on me, but a love triangle never hurt any one, so long as the fanbase doesn't start clawing at each other over who they do or do not support. this is all in fun, and no matter what happens in the webisodes or int he main line, we can still have our own private story line. Thats the beauty of doll collecting. My Opereta is dating Jackson, and my Rochelle is pining over Duece, who I plan to buy from the scaris line.

I support my own ideas, but more than that, I support everyone having a right to love what they love, even if it differs from my preferences. I hope that no matter what happens we can all still get along well.

I guess I'm afraid of re witnessing another fanbase divided by a love triangle v,v

I agree with wanting to know their backstory. He understands that most of what she does that seems out-of-the-norm comes from her family and her background. I think that's why I love Cleo so much, her character has depth and psychology behind it. She isn't just boy crazy or something like that. I can follow why she does most of what she does. She's kinda deep :)

I think thats what I liked about the ghouls rule special. It really showed that Duece understands her. she's constantly being made to feel inferior to her sister Nefera (Nefarious Nefera?) and her father puts a lot of pressure on her to be a leader and 'make him proud' and fit into his mold for her. I see much of her acting out as her frustration at being unable to make her own choices. It's why she craves attention so much, she wants people to look to her with admiration because she feels so inferior at home.

Yep. :) When she first hit Walmart she was about $4, though she was more difficult to find at that price. Shipping would factor in at about $8 more, which still isn't bad at $12, but if you're buying anything else it would be a nice doll to tag onto an order.

I like all of them except Spectra (I REALLY HATE the "chains" accessory across her torso and her face is way too white to me).

I actually love Operetta, like, a lot. I just find her DDG single so stunning. I love her hair, her dress, her beautiful white mask and being able to see the intricate scarring she has. Not to mention her totally awesome shoes and purse (and her miniature cosmetic coffin is so adorbs). She's probably my favorite doll right now. She's amazing. Lagoona's DDG shoes are also amazing. Her hair I find to be okay and her dress is pretty. Her purse is ugly, though. I really like her blue/pink color coordination going on. The 3-pack for $40 was, obviously, not to be passed up. Abbey. Omg. Just so drool-worthy.

They've brought back 1600 Cupid. I was shocked to see her at WM this afternoon.

I saw a ton of them at Walmart today, too. Wish they'd re-release Sig Cupid. I'd die happy.

Re-working her outfit would help, but her face. It's blinding! I understand why it's that way, but I just cannot seem to convince myself that it's aesthetically appealing in any way. It's just a little too intense for me.

I don't really care for Cleo in the webisodes except for with Deuce but I love most of her dolls.  I think she is beautiful.  I love the tinsel in her hair  too.  I would love her signature first release.  I don't necessarily want Deuce but I would love Cleo.  I am especially pining for DT Cleo but I don't know if I will be able to get her with her online prices and she certainly isn't around her anymore.

So I actually stopped at my local Super Target and, even though it states on the site that it is not sold in stores, there it was on the shelf for $79.99. LOL! OMG you guys. Target just needs to quit while they're ahead.

In light of that, the site also said they had Holt, Sig Abbey and Sig Spectra in stock. Not a single one of those were on the shelves. *grumble grumble* So I left empty-handed and sad.

Hubbs convinced me to go to TRU, but jeebus. The prices there. >.< I wanted the Werewolf/Dragon Two Torso CAM, but they were $5 more at TRU than they are at Target. So I got MLP BBs instead. Psh.

THIS! There are two different Monster High doll listings in my area, and the one seller responded once to me to tell me she wasn't in my town, and that's it. I never heard from the other one.  Once I called a lady about ponies she had listed because the ad said to, and she acted like it was completely bizarre that I was calling.  My boyfriend is convinced that craigslist is all murderers, and I think they're all flakes.

I was super sad, because they have great photos and all. Why would you waste the time to post and then never respond? I'm offering 3 times what you were asking for the dolls.... Just email me back flaky craigslist person!!!!

I would totally take my hubby with me, though. I am a little afraid of craigslist, too.

Were you by any chance able to find the Dragon/Werewolf set with 2 torsos??

Yes. Found a couple at my TRU for $26.99. Not sure whether or not I'll be kicking myself later for letting them go.

The Werecat twins were in stock at my TRU for the first time in a long time. I was contemplating getting the pack and splitting it with my sister, but neither of us are totally sold. It's very hard to find them with perfect faceups becuase of how much paint is on them. One set was nicer than the other but I just wasn't in love...

So the dolls I want are:
- RM Lagoona (possibly. unless by some stroke of luck I find her sig version for cheap)
- Skellita (hopefully she comes out sooner than later...)
- Wonder Wolf Clawdeen (I like her ST version but I love Wonder Woman more)
- Maybe the Blob CaM girl. Maybe
- Same goes for Caterine. I'll have to see her before I decide

I'm getting to a point with the MH girls that's similar to my pony feels. I wish they'd release more new characters instead of just repeating the same girls in different outfits. There are so many monster possibilites out there, and I'm starting to get tired of seeing the same ones over and over again. At least with these, unlike ponies, the dolls come in different outfits. But still, I'm a strict no-doubles collector. And I'm reaching a dissapointment level...

Thanks. I have to save money (that was supposed to be mine ... again ...) because we are getting visitors in a couple weeks, so my next paycheck will be a buffer for their visit. Last time I had to keep money in for bills. Hubbs will pay me back eventually, but I had plans for the money that I am working hard to earn for my birthday. Now my birthday present will be at least a month late. So I couldn't justify the extra money on the CAM sets when I could save it for my super-late present.

My 2 cents: she and Deuce will never break up!! :heart:  :heart:  :heart:

I love her even more after watching Ghouls Rule (which I think I've watched a hundred times, LOL). A lot is revealed about the reasons behind her mean-girlitude.

I'm lucky all my girls stay in stock! Only my cams get outfits and then only one. But, if I keep getting cams, that means a wig, an outfit and shoes. That's like 30$ right there for one doll, ouch!

The majority of mine will stay in stock, minus the beach ones. Operetta's pants just drive me bonkers and I found a perfect outfit for her, so I sprung for it. The other clothes I got are for BJDs. Ha ha!

$30 for clothes, shoes and a wig is really cheap. I spent that on a single wig for one of my BJDs. ;)

Some of my dolls I keep in their stock, but others I have redressed. I enjoy mixing and matching outfits. Some of them lend themselves to multiple outfits better than others (like my b/w SS Frankie). I also change the dolls' outfits for photos.

Toralei is getting pretty sought-after as of late, I've been noticing her price slowly going up on ebay due to bidding wars. In the US at least, she's not in any of the doll assortments currently shipping to stores.

I usually try to pull them out with pliers. When that doesn't work, I cut them short and push them in.

I have taken them out specifically for on-location photoshoots, but I don't take them with me just when I go out shopping or whatever. I'm too embarrassed to be seen in public with them, even with my daughters around (mostly because I know I wouldn't be able to get away with pretending I was taking a photo of their dolls because they'd make it quite clear to anyone who asked that the dolls belong to me not them).

Does anyone else have trouble with their GR Draculaura falling over on her stand?  Mine will not stand up on her stand alone.  She has to be leaned against something.  It's irritating because it seems like her stand piece that she is connected to slides down and since her wings are so heavy she falls over. 

On another note, her and GR Frankie were my first ever dolls that I deboxed.  Did it this weekend to display in my china hutch for my Halloween/Birthday party.

Imagine the groin damage you can do to a guy when your angry! >=D

*Sigh* today I only went to Walmart and OMG They had a whole bunch of Rochelles/Abbeys/Venuses/Robeccas! I also found 2 Cam sets with 2 torsos!!!.....Until I saw that they both had weird blotches on their faces. >,>; One had a blue smudge looking thing on her right cheek while the other had one on her nose. Damn I was so ready to get one too.

I was also so close to buying a 2nd Venus to open and have ready to bait for my OC eventually but then I resisted and decided to wait till they release a beach version or any other version. (with hopefully a whole head of hair)

They had so many things out on the shelves and endcap, but what I really wanted was to find the two torso CAM for the dragon girl and/r the Skeleton CAM Add on, last time I was there they had a whole bunch, but all they had were the ghosts this time and the ones for the CAM Lab...until I searched all the way at the end of the peg! I found the one and only Bee girl set!! My 2nd on the list after the Skeleton girl!!

While walking in the heavy downpour, my bag got really wet and my designs for my OCs got ruined.  :cloud: Oh well, back to the drawing board.visitors can't see pics , please register or login
 

Didn't get what I exactly wanted, but at least I got my bee girl set. :P

This is so not on topic, but I wanted to share this with you guys.

I've often wondered what the designers of these dolls were thinking when they put these characters in crazy heels. No teenager wears those high school, right? Wrong, this is the best image I could find of the heels one of my students actually wore to school today.

Why??? I don't think I could even walk in those shoes!
If I could find those without the studs, I would totally buy them >.>

And in something on topic too, the seller that quit messaging me about the Toralei re-listed her dolls on craigslist. Should I send her another message, or give up?

If it's the one that said no said because you were in another location, say you're in the same area as them but drive there super early to meet them and wait for them!

If they remember your voice, give up. If not, go for it! :hug: Hopefully you'll be able to get her!

I can say that when I was in high school, I wore crazy heels all the time too. I totally would have given something like these a try (heck, I still would if I had anywhere to wear them). Some of the most painful-looking shoes I've owned were surprisingly some of the most comfortable to walk in. :) My high school was extremely strict with our dress code for the most part. No way would we ever have gotten away with most of the outfits that the MH gang wears, but they never seemed to mind about the shoes, so a lot of us took advantage of it.

Heel-less heels are usually designed so that the weight is distributed towards the toe, so while it looks like the wearer could teeter over if they leaned back, it would actually be pretty difficult to do. I've heard many claim that they're more comfortable to wear, and more stable to walk in, than say, stilettos.

To be honest, I'm 17 and I would NEVER wear anything like that. I wear studded pumps, vans and boots, nothing as ridiculous as that to school- partying and school should not mix. Not that I am actually a party animal, but for a friend's birthday party, I wear mid heels as I am already quite tall..

And some of ya'll people wonder why you get ankle and feet problems wearing those silly things.  :P

I was out and about at a restaurant not too long ago and saw a woman wearing heels who was quite literally holding onto each table as she walked by because she couldn't walk a straight line. (I'm 99% sure it was the heels.)

Hehe, I actually probably have more ankle problems and I don't wear heels than someone who does.

I honestly think the reasons why they put them into super high heels is because you can do crazier designs with those than you can with flats. :D

I love MH shoes. They're very inventive and they almost always go really well with the doll's theme.

I used to have 5" platforms whose soles were shaped like waves and they had a star punch-out in the heel. That's as close to crazy heels I have ever gotten. I think mine were closed at the top, but besides they looked like this.

Those Red-Spike shoes....are so fabulous! A friend once had normal shoes and shoved a spike they had left over from something through a hole in the front of the toe.....and I decided to coin a new word for that type of shoe:

Beautiful + Brutal = Brutaful

That's right. (And yeah that shoe would totally Toralei or even Clawdeen/Howleen!

On another note of shoes: I want ALL the monster high shoes.....I have a problem too in that I love Lagoonas and shoes!

I have smaller: platform pinup shoes, green pump shoes with pinup/My go to shoes for ballroom dance class and then my floral F.21 MiuMiu wannabe shoes <3 <3 <3 <3 But with my knee injury from tennis/hiking/time I am not gonna dare after my meniscus surgery this week. Pfffft no way.

Not a fan of the Skull Shores Cleo myself. The only other one I'd consider getting is DotD Cleo, but I've already got her outfit by itself and it looks pretty rad on SO Cleo, so I'm good. I only need one Cleo. Oh, and most of the tinsel has come out of my Cleo's hair, although I didn't deliberately take it all out at once ... it was just that every time I've brushed her hair, another strand of tinsel has gone scraggly or come apart into separate pieces, and so I end up ripping that bit out. Now she mostly just has the dark brown and teal streaks in her black hair, which I really like. Gives her a bit more color. Oh, and I got lucky and found a doll whose eyes aren't so far apart that they make her look wall-eyed.

My Cleo's tinsel did that as well which I thought strange since that never happened with any of my ponies. In any case, she looks fabulous without it so I'm pleased :) DoDT Cleo is also pretty awesome once you get the glue out of her hair. I really wish they'd put her in more lines. However, I suspect that she's not done so well since not all of her releases have stood out in comparison to the other monsters. They need to really play up her Egyptian heritage! They could make some fantastic, creative outfits that way!

OMG yes! She's a really edgy doll, and her colour scheme (when they remember to add the teal) is so striking! (Arranges a little love-in for Cleo on the boards). There's no reason why she has to look less like a monster than the other girls!

I think what people keep forgetting is that both Cleo and Nefera are mummies and that they have to have at least one bandage on them at all times or else they crumble to dust. So while they themselves might not look like mummies, if you remember to keep some bandages on them no matter what other kinds of clothes you put on them, then there's still a little bit of something monstrous about them ...
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: LuvlyMelody on October 16, 2012, 11:31:06 PM
I still see them as Mummies, but if they painted on like a bandage wrap/s on either of their wrists/forearms or ankle/calves that might be a good way to give her a more Mummy-ish look. Seeing them with only the Eye of Rahish style eye and diamond beauty mark, the first thing that would pop into my head if I had no knowledge of MH would be that they're normies with Egyptian heritage or something.

Has anyone ever completely detinsiled a Cleo and added some gold/blonde colored hair to replace them?

I get emails from one of the many Black Friday sites and they had the scans up for Farm & Fleet's Toyland catalog, which starts this weekend. They have Monster High dolls listed for $16.49. It says assorted and shows sig Spectra, Ghoulia & Abbey and wave 2 Frankie, Lagoona, Cleo and Clawdeen. I don't know if that's all they'll have, but either way, it's a really good price and probably worth checking out if you have one nearby.

I'm thinking about stopping by there anyway because they also have the MLP Wedding Castle set for  $26.89, which is the cheapest I've ever seen it. I've been putting off grabbing it because I didn't want the castle, just the two ponies, but for this price, I may pick it up.

Speaking of Black Friday...

I'm curious if this is a good idea or not:
Since I most likely won't be able to go out nice and early for Black Friday, I was thinking of maybe asking someone here if they could pick up some items for me (obviously I would give them the shopping money + shipping).

Dumb idea?

You might be able to find someone, especially if they're already going to the store that has the item you want. I've gone out on Black Friday every year for at least the past 10 years and it takes a lot of planning. Most of the time if you don't get somewhere before they open, you won't find the item you want.

I personally wouldn't do it, at least not for actual cost simply because it entails getting up super early, standing an hour or more in the freezing cold, then fighting huge crowds to try to hopefully grab the item you want. I hate it, but we do it because it's usually the only way we can afford certain things. And this year I need a TV for my bedroom (my old one is making a high pitched sound that's driving me nuts) so that's going to be my top priority.

I'm a sucker for sneakers. Can't beat the comfort and I can wear them with just about anything.

I've spent the last 2 years wearing Vibram Fivefingers during the week and flip-flops on the weekend.  Never been more comfortable.

Okay, these better start popping up in stores because this is getting ridiculous aaaaaaa. Because my "RAWR RAWR I AM ANGRY AT ALL THINGS" side is just thinking the worst and that Mattel is just SITTING on these dolls and haven't sent them to stores yet (though... with any company I really do think that can be truth) and not just the fact they might have sent these to stores but stores still have a lot of back stock or something idk.... all I know is I'm terrified of walking into Walmart while grocery shopping and seeing a doll I want from this line on shelf ;o;

She is! I was so scared that she wouldn't come out good, at all... though my fiance is a little upset they couldn't have at least tried to keep that gorgeous purple-ish mix of hair the prototype had. It's fine, if he reaaaaaaaaaally doesn't want her when he sees her in person I'll get her as a back up for my Rochelle (Asjkhgkjasdgasdg STUPID FOREVER GREASY HAIR) and hope this one doesn't have the same flaws. Also, dat. Outfit.

I am loving her hair.  It's always bothered me that they rooted all that blue into Sig. Rochelle's hair, just to cut it all off for her bangs.  It's NEVER made any since to me.  I don't think they planned her hair style well at all.  THIS ONE, though!  I love all that blue!

I am actually thinking about buying 2 of these and turning one into a Sig.  Ummmmm......

Why is Mattel replacing one thing for something else?? Especially when that something else isn't even out yet?! I mean sure, yaaay the scaris dolls are "showing up" but WTF?! Now people can probably start coming up with faulty excuses to have suddenly buy a "Flawed" doll to have Mattel possibly replace it with a new Scaris doll. Possibly.

I know this might make me sound like one of those "You're just jealous that you can't get one, but you're in denial to accept it" people who complains but still, when people discover something that can be taken advantage of, they will abuse the crap out of it.

Btw she's very cute and I want her... :blush:

My thoughts exactly! I would hate to be strolling through a store randomly with no intention of MH Hunting or buying and you see a whole full section of the Scaris dolls but having no money. You want to get something but you have no money so you can't and knowing that it'll be empty the next day. >,<; Grr I hate it when that happens.

I swear half the "flawed" dolls I see posted are perfectly fine, so I hope this doesn't happen.  The more people take advantage of Mattel, the less likely they are in the future to be willing to help with a legitimate problem.

There's also a pic of her in box on that girl's Flickr account. She also comes with brush, stand and a little travel diary.

I really like her curled fringe and her hat. Not a fan of her shoes or her skirt. I think I will get her, though, and ponder whether to keep both or sell of my sig Rochelle.

Mattel has a different solution for every call, but at least they solve most of the problems :)  I called last week b/c my beloved Bee CAM has two right feet.  They were very gracious and sent me a voucher to find a replacement (if I can). 


And time to start saving up for Scaris, whoohoo!! I NEED that Abbey and Jinafire!

Yes Yes YES! all my needs


Also as I have mentioned before, Sweden doesn't have the best supply of MH dolls in their stores, and they are often very expensive. Today I visited Sweden's biggest low price supermarket; Gekås and of course I had to check the toy section. When I got to the MH aisle it was almost just Lalas Powder Room and Ghoulias scooter packages there, and the ones without dolls. But I also found a few Roller Maze Dolls left so I grabbed a Frankie for 15 USD (half the price they usually go for here.)

Well, when I went past the Toy aisle a bit later they had restocked and this is what I saw;

I've never seen so many MH dolls at once before. There were like 10 boxes of each characters. Unfortunately I already have all of these, but I almost bought a Rochelle for customizing, but I ended up not to.

I would love to put MH dolls on my holiday wishlist, but I try to keep up with the current releases.  Don't want to miss out on anything and pay crazy amounts of money on things I could have just bought in store.  So really I'd only be able to put the newest of the new releases on my wishlist, and I couldn't do that to my loved ones!  I know what I go though ALL YEAR LONG to find certain dolls, I can't imagine what's like around the holidays!  I stay inside and lock my doors!  All the crazys who don't drive all year, come out in the snow and sleet, and expect to remember what it's like driving in crappy weather.......

Sorry to hear that. I have had some that I never really bonded with in the first place, but none that I have actually fallen out of love with, as it were.

On a different note, I am curious to find out more about the Swim line Venus. I wonder if she will still have flocking on her head. Just seems to me like swimming + flocking isn't such a great idea.

I feel awful, but I think I may be falling out of love with some of my girls... I'm thinking maybe I should stop displaying the ones I feel that way about for a while and see if that helps...
Perhaps give them new hairdos or buy them some new outfits...?
Ugh... Probably just me being sick and hating everything at the moment.. who knows.. :cry: Feels horrible..

It will definitely help! I always find that the perfect outfit makes me fall in love with a ghoul. I was seriously starting to get sick of Venus, then I got her the outfit below, put her in a curly sideswept ponytail, and BAM! she's a changed woman. And totally fashion forward.

On a different note, I am curious to find out more about the Swim line Venus. I wonder if she will still have flocking on her head. Just seems to me like swimming + flocking isn't such a great idea. I mean, how many kids would see "swim line" and think "Oh, I can play with them in the bath!" and so they plonk their Venus in the water and ... "Mommy! She's going bald!"
lol I was thinking the saame thing. :P All I pray for is that she has a whole head of hair and doesn't have too many piercings on her ear like her signature release does.

I hope something makes you fall in love with your dolls again Chi. :hug:

Sorry to hear that. I have had some that I never really bonded with in the first place, but none that I have actually fallen out of love with, as it were.

I don't really know why it happened.. Maybe I didn't bond with them as much as I thought. :(
Also I'm curious too! I can see that happening.. "Oh she's in a swimsuit!!! She can go in the tub with me!!! YAY!" suddenly your kid is covered in pink flocking, the doll is bald, it's stuck to your tub or something and a parent is upset. :/

Thanks for the advice, Tuney!! :hug: I hope we can "re-kindle" our love lol.

On that note, I have been having trouble bonding with my Venus. I decided to keep the first one, bald spot and all, but there's still a lot I don't like about Venus in general. I don't like her shoes (or her pants for that matter); I don't like those vine things that wrap around her arms and legs; and while I do like her shaved head (and her multi-pierced ear), I don't like how long the rest of her hair is. I think I'd have preferred a proper Mohawk like DotD Lagoona's.

So maybe I just need to find some other clothes for her to wear ...

I'm super happy about an Abbey with bangs! She's going to look adorable! It's such an obvious thing to do with her apparently-extremely-difficult-to-style-hair, if the constant ponytails are any indication. I really like a lot of the new dresses too. Disappointed in Deuce's shorts (there aren't NEARLY enough clothes for MH boys, especially pants), and a little bit in the fact that he has the same "snake-style" as his signature, even if it is his usual look. :P
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: cobalte on October 18, 2012, 12:29:23 AM
I'm sort of 50/50 on these new releases.

I love the deluxe fashion sets, they look really cool. I think Ghoulia's with the blood-drip pants are my favourite.
Scaris Rochelle is very pretty, the stockings suit her quite well too, and the pattern works really well.
Slim-box Scaris Ghoulia I like with the hoodie/dress, never forgetting her fabulous shoes. Abbey is pretty too with what looks like a slightly metallic pattern and subtle color changes on her dress, nice handbag also

But the rest I'm a bit disappointed on.
The basic fashion packs have all these recycled accessories with what looks like basic cotton dresses. None of the designs seem that appealing apart from Abbey's.
The "Fearbook" or 3.0 dolls look all over the place. Good grief! Cleo looks so odd with the clashing navy, canary yellow and teal. Spectra is just a purple mass, but does seem promising with clearer pictures. Draculaura is Draculaura, another black and pink outfit with frills, yawn. Abbey does the opposite and repeats her previous offences with random colors thrown together, too much!
The other slim-box dolls (Draculaura and Deuce) are boring to me though it is nice to have a Deuce with articulated wrists.

Can't say much about the Ghouls Alive dolls until I see them in motion.

ETA: OOH OOH quick question while I'm at it. I've got a gift-set Clawd sitting around waiting for the glue to be washed out of his hair, but I'm worried about the flocking. Will it rub off in water? Or with exposure to water in general? Or am I ok if I work around the flocking and just give it a rinse under the tap?

I've got a bald spot in my Venus' flocking from exposure to steam while I was boil straightening her hair. I have also heard of people losing all of Clawd's flocking just by getting it wet, so I wouldn't get his head anywhere near water if I were you!

I was looking at all the nice big pics of Scaris Rochelle on Flickr and she's gorgeous! Seriously, I love her so much more than sig Rochelle. I don't need two Rochelles, though. I think I'd like my Rochelle better if her hair was nicer. It feels oily all the time (even after washing it with Dawn) and it's always sticking up from static. I don't know why her hair's so different from DDG Spectra and sig Draculaura's hair. Both of them have soft, silky hair and they don't have the oily or static problem.

depends on the storyline they go with....if they go with the last novel which seems to be truer to the webisodes and diaries, Rochelle does have a boyfriend back in Scaris called Garrotte :)  I'm interested to see what direction they go too.

I'm happy that Cleo and Lagoona are going to Scaris! I would expect Cleo to go (can't imagine her letting Deuce go by himself, haha! Not saying she wouldn't trust him or anything - I'd think she'd want to see Scaris, too!), and was worried that Lagoona wouldn't be part of the line.

I can't wait to see how Jinafire looks in person (hops she pops up soon!).  :heart:

Is it bad that a part of me thinks that the "goof-up/leaks" may not be on accident? Like Mattel wanted to create some "pre-hype" before the dolls get released? xD

Maybe, but considering how fast afterward they go after people posting the images, I don't think so. More likely is that images get sent to the retailers, and since they're being sent to a lot of retailers the images get leaked by one of them being careless. When you mass distribute images by internet you just set yourself up for problems and leaks.

Also, I just read on a recent post on that blog that Wydona Spider has been finally trademarked. Does anyone know if that's true?

I thought Mattel had only applied for a trademark. I don't think it had gone through yet, but I could be wrong! It's just what I remember reading here.

I wonder who the 'him' is that Rochelle is looking forward to seeing again in Scaris (according to the back of the box)?

Probably this guy (http://www.flickr.com/photos/87220450@N06/8096970666/in/photostream/).

I think that is supposed to be her boyfriend Pierre. He's mentioned in the book Ghoulfriends Forever.
In the pic it says he's her brother. But Garrotte DuRoque is supposed to be the boyfriend from what I've heard.

In all fairness he was kinda lusting after her too, while being in a relationship with Cleo. I read her diary and it doesn't say anything about Deuce, unless you mean the Scaris one. And Cleo bugs me to no end. I would prefer Mattel to release Garrote and if not, a gargoyle boy will be him for Rochelle... and to Stacey (Kamakazee garboyle heh heh).

I found the scarey tales dolls at target Australia!
I really wanted to get Draculaura and Clawdeen but I could only grab one at the time and I already have a Lala.
This Clawdeen looks so much prettier in person too! I thought I would loath the purple accessories with the red but it doesn't look that bad at all! And her hair, with all that beautiful red /drool/
I have so many great places near my house for red riding hood themed photos as well :D They might have to wait for the holidays though.

See, I like this, because it's such a part of growing up and being a teen. It really gives her a flaw that makes her more believable and likable <3 No ones perfect after all. And it's not like she's hit on Duece or anything. They have talked. You can't help who you become attracted to, what you can help is your actions, and her actions so far have been on the up and up <3

Having her pet steal his casketball so she can spend some one on one alone time with Deuce is manipulative, deceptive and just wrong. That's how I see it.

My take on Rochelle and Deuce, if they're both really liking each other, then they should date, IKR shoot me if you love Cleo, but it bothers me. Don't have an Omgcrushcrushcrush on someone if they're takentakentaken!

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of Rochelles in the world though. Diary Rochelle is probably nothing like movie Rochelle, book Rochelle, webisode Rochelle, and most importantly YOUR Rochelle. Don't let a flimsy little paper thing ruin your enjoyment of a beautiful doll! :3

Again, she's a teenager and learning her way.  Manipulative, yes.  Do I think deuce is possibly smart enough to see through the ruse (well, the way they have him written half the time, maybe...the other half the time, no).  I don't mind it that much.... Probably because they also depict her as a bit awkward and lacking in proper social skills too, lol.  But then, I also love my Cleo and Toralei dolls even though their personalities have not always been represented as stellar- they are beautiful dolls.

While I agree with this, I just want to stir the pot a bit anyway by pointing out that Hoodude mentions in his diary that he's "heard that Deuce has been seen hanging out on rooftops with that new gargoyle ghoul, Rochelle."

Personally, I don't care as I do not "follow" any of the various continuities. I don't watch the webisodes, I've never read the books, and I only like to read the diaries to get some insights and inspiration for the MH world in general. My Rochelle is dating my Scottish gargoyle boy, Flint, while Deuce and Cleo are happily together, and I don't have any plans to alter those relationships in my photos.

That being said, I can sympathize with Rochelle. I know how hard it is to maintain a long distance relationship.

Plus we don't really know anything about this Garrote guy. Who says he's been faithful to her in her absence? Perhaps she will discover that he's moved on while she's been away ... After all, on the back of Scaris Rochelle's box (http://www.flickr.com/photos/frankienadine/8099424230/"), it reads "Most of all I am looking forward to seeing ... him. I have not received the letter from him in so very long. I am sure there is a reason, hopefully it is a good one."

Beautiful dolls indeed!! I don't see her as being manipulative myself. I have seen plenty of people too nervous shy or unsure of how to approach someone. Rochelle made an excuse to talk to him. I don't see that as such a bad thing myself. It creates a more natural way to have a convo. Duece doesn't have to worry about turning her to stone, and Duece is a great guy. If he's interested in Rochelle (which I don't think he is) he's a decent enough guy to be up front and honest about it. Besides, sometimes we just find ourselves having chemistry with a person, relationship or none. Just because it starts off as a bit of a crush doesn't mean that it has to stay that way. Rochelle has even confided her feelings in someone else, who told her that it was heading for heart break. Lonely, in a new place, looking for where she fits in? I'd say she could be cut some slack. With how conceited Cleo can be, people aren't picking her apart.

It's all about preference. Cleo, in the webisodes, and all else, is with Duece and they're happy! It doesn't mean that in peoples own collections that they can't have other ideas and couples :)

Can we all remember that these are fictional dolls and not worth such drama among people who are real and breathing? this is all in fun lovies <3
While I agree with this, I just want to stir the pot a bit anyway by pointing out that Hoodude mentions in his diary that he's "heard that Deuce has been seen hanging out on rooftops with that new gargoyle ghoul, Rochelle."

Personally, I don't care as I do not "follow" any of the various continuities. I don't watch the webisodes, I've never read the books, and I only like to read the diaries to get some insights and inspiration for the MH world in general. My Rochelle is dating my Scottish gargoyle boy, Flint, while Deuce and Cleo are happily together, and I don't have any plans to alter those relationships in my photos.

That being said, I can sympathize with Rochelle. I know how hard it is to maintain a long distance relationship.

Plus we don't really know anything about this Garrote guy. Who says he's been faithful to her in her absence? Perhaps she will discover that he's moved on while she's been away ... After all, on the back of Scaris Rochelle's box (http://www.flickr.com/photos/frankienadine/8099424230/"), it reads "Most of all I am looking forward to seeing ... him. I have not received the letter from him in so very long. I am sure there is a reason, hopefully it is a good one."

I really am looking forward to how all this plays out! I don't see this as pot stirring, just discussion :) Do we get to see pics of Rochelle and Flint? Sounds wonderful!

I suppose it's a possibility, although I would argue that the pregnant pause indicated by the ellipsis suggests otherwise. Whatever the case, it does seem like a rather ominous bit of text. I think it's fair to assume that whoever he is, the reason for him not writing to her in a long time is *not* a good one. ;)

I really am looking forward to how all this plays out! I don't see this as pot stirring, just discussion :)
Cool. I am curious myself.

As far as whoever Rochelle has been waiting a letter for, I agree, it doesn't look promising.

I love how photogenic Flint is! He's one of my faves. In that first photo of Rochelle holding her hair - my wife actually posed her like that. I have since put her hair in pigtails (http://www.flickr.com/photos/pukunui81/8053327736/in/photostream/).

I would say it depends on what store(s) you are going to. If I am going to TRU I go the morning of their shipments, which is different for different locations, right away when they open. As for other stores its hard to say because they get random shipments of toys in any day of the week. I would say skip Sunday since I believe walmart at least does not get shipments of anything then, and I believe Tuesday is the other day Walmart doesn't get shipments. Not sure about Target though. Supercenters of those stores typically seem to get more in selection wise as well, at least in my area. Hope that helps a little bit!

I find that the best time for me is weekdays before the kids get out of school. I can't drive yet, so I never really get the chance to go out early in the morning (I suggested it, but my mom,who drives me around, wasn't very keen on it  :P )


I find it weird that now my Wal-Mart's swimming in Cupids O.o Even odder is that it's the S1600 version. Is this happening at anyone else's? Not that I'm complaining, of course!

From my experience, usually right when the doors open, or during a time when most people are at work or school. Also handy if you can find out whenever they get new shipments in and on the shelves, like with TRU.  As far as Walmart goes, I'd had the best luck whenever I'd go to the store while they're re-shelving/restocking the toys and have the boxes/cases out (like around 11pm to 2am, if you have a 24/7 store near you).

My nearest Walmart currently has a ton of Ghoul's Rule Abbeys, along with S1600 Cupid. I feel bad for the GR Abbeys - I wanna say it's the same ones I've seen on the shelf for the last week or so. Not so surprising for me, since this is the same store that has the same two Deuce fashion packs that have been there since last holiday season. It has me thinking that is the reason why this particular Walmart hasn't restocked on the newer fashion packs since last year.  ;_;

yeah it does thanks. The key appears to be mornings. Back when I worked at Walmart 3rd shift, we got stuff all the time, but it was usually far in advanced for electronics [my department], usually a week for new release stuff. But the toys I was never sure.

I suspect we'll get another torso kit that includes pieces for both of these as well as the Ghost and the Puma. At this point, Mattel realizes that matching torsos are a big deal to a lot of collectors; the fact that they released them for the first batch, and that all the two-pack sets now come with two torsos indicates this. I hope it's soon, because I haven't even opened my Puma yet. I refuse to put him on a pink body!

Wow, Hannaliten, she looks great!  I hope when I finally get around to doing rehairs, my second attempt looks as good as that!

Also, I imagine that's what Ghoulia looked like before she was a Zombie:)  I'd like to see some customs like that, the ghouls, before they were ghouls or as RADs (from the books.)

Dratini!! or Larvitar! or Quilava! or even Charmander!! Charmander would be best because he'd be just like her...almost. :P

It's been explained to me that the new characters in the Scaris line aren't Signatures.  Kinda like Gil in the Skull Shores line.  That's why they don't come with pets:(  I guess if Skelita and Jinafire transfer to MH, they'll eventually be released with pets and a diary......

I just saw a pic of Skelita's family, actually, and they have a pet dog(?)  It's a cute Skeleton of an animal<3  It's too bad she wasn't released with him!  It would have been the first pet I actually liked.

I...er...we meant to go to a flea markt but it was closed :( but....since it was right across th street from wal-mart, we popped over there. I had no real hopes or anything....yet I walked out with venus and rochelle x_x they had tons of Venus, Robecca and Rochell, and GR and the DDG 3 pk, DDG Ghoulia and Operetta, they even had a solitary RM Operetta...and the design lab, and the almost all the CaMs except the puma boy. I almost died x_x TOO MUCH WANT! The only thing they didn't have it seems is Cupid and GR Abbey (but they'd had her there before) I'm shocked. *puts on her e-trade baby shocked face*

I'm not positive, but I think that picture was shown at SDCC, when the line was officially unveiled. I know there were several pieces of concept art shown, particularly for Jinifire and Skelita, since they were designed by people whose heritage was the inspiration for the two newest characters.

Haha, not that creative with them but they're there. sometimes they even seem to interact if I move stuff around for whatever reason.

I display the pets. I think they're adorable. Mine just sit at the girls' feet because I have a hard enough time puttering around with them when I want to get someone who is behind other dolls. Still, I like the pets.

Also, Skelita and I are going to be good friends. Her design is lovely without being overboard (as it easily could have been). I have definite plans to bring her home when she gets to my city.

I just brought home the skeleton CAM. She is AMAZING, guys. I also ordered her a torso off of ebay as mattel is sold out of torso packs. Right now, though, she's on my vamp's body until I get her torso and my vamp gets her wig. I had wanted to buy her some new clothes and a wig, but seriously, she's so perfect already, I dunno if I want to change her. And it would be difficult to find a wig to suit her other than the one she came with. You know, unless she's Kalma, haha!

I kinda agree with you on this one. Those wings are super HUGE, maybe a little too huge. But from how it looks, they gave a 2nd pair of wingless hands.

What I'm really wondering is how the mechanism of the tail works. Looks like it could be a huge piece of plastic tail shape with a hinged tail, maybe it'll be bendable/multi-jointed rubber. How would they fit on the torso?

I bet sea monster and werewolf would be the closest matching torso. :P

The wings are part of her forearms it looks like. Can't tell though if the hands attached to those forearms can be removed though... or are even jointed. I'd assume not, otherwise what was the reasoning for the other hands when the  Siren only comes with one set.

I think they're belts as well that you slip over the top of the tail.

I really like these CAM sets but I'm broke and lazy so really don't want to expand my MH collection by including CAM sets too  :huh: I hope they make a signature harpy and siren character soon (actually any new characters would be nice!)

The new CAMs are nice. I agree that I wish they had their torsos and I also wish the wings were not on the arms of the Harpy, but separate pieces that went into her back like Rochelle's. I like both of the wigs and I like the Siren's color scheme.

Yeah, I really wish they would just start giving us complete sets already. They may not be exact, but I'm wondering if the Mystical (Unicorn) pack's torso for the CAM Lab might be a good match for the lighter pieces on the Harpy?

Big beautiful wings in my favorite colors~! Harpy just flew up near the top of my wishlist. :heart: How exciting to give us a mermaid tail too. I wonder how both of these girls will be jointed. And I concur, NEW TORSO PACK NEEDED FOR THEM. Torsos and upper limbs for Ghost, Puma, Harpy, and Siren at least...

How in God's name have they not made an alien yet? Like, when I think of monsters...aliens definitely come to mind, yet they have made three hundred catgirls and werewolves.

No alien.

I must have an alien!!

I'm making a martian custom right now ^^

you guys inspired me. I turned my cam witch who I wasn't sure I should keep or not into an alien today

But Harpy CAM will turn into Harpeas Cousin; Beacky XD

These new CAMs are so neat!! I like the wings on the arms and tail instead of legs but I'd also like to switch em out! (Future sig characters please  :lol:)

I also am attracted to those wigs, if they are anything like that when produced: omgosh, yay! They look so smooth and wonderful :lovey:

Amenoo: Harpea is so adorable! Cleo would be a great start for your custom of her :)

mg, these are so amazing!! I'm a bit disappointed that the Harpy isn't the one from the webisodes, but the designs for both of these is amazing! I'm really impressed with the variations Mattel has been introducing into the line; boys, the upcoming clear bodies, unique hair pieces and now these.

I'm not too concerned with the torso thing; I'm pretty sure Mattel will release another torso pack. Hopefully soon, because I still haven't opened up my Puma boy.

Can someone please explain to me how you use CAMs?  :blush:

Imagine if you could take apart a regular MH doll, and then put it together again. That's pretty much it. You use wigs, since they aren't rooted, and unlike regular MH dolls, every limb comes off. The original concept was that you could mix and match the pieces, but most older collectors prefer for all the pieces to match. They don't have names or "official" personalities, so they can really be whoever you want. Hope that helps!

Really liking these new CAMs! Although I do wish that the Harpy came with some "back wings", I do like how she has "arm wings". So I'm happy either way! :D My friend that LOVES mermaids is totally going to get a kick out of the Siren pack.

I made her skirt myself ^^ The sash behind her is a large bow.

What I have on her so far is that....

Style-  She's a flashy and bold ghoul who loves the color purple!

Personality- She has a fierce and devious personality, and thinks of school as a runway to showcase herself. She is loud, in your face, and doesn't make friends easily. The people she does befriend however, she lets very close to her and will let them see her with all her defenses down. To her friends, she's kind, loyal, and fiercely protective. To everyone else however....? She's not so nice

Freaky Flaw- She outwardly chastises other ghouls for relying on hair to make them beautiful, boasting that a real beauty doesn't need it to look fabulous! She does this because her alien species doesn't have hair, and she's secretly jealous of girls who have long luxurious hair. She's extremely vain and obsesses over her clothes and make up to try to 'make up' for her lack of hair.

Post by: justkitter on October 21, 2012, 12:44:57 PM
So much to comment on:

I bet the Harpy only comes with one set of hands.  I think the hands come off the forearms and the wings slip on like braclets.  Probably another prototype pic slip up.  If I'm guessing correctly, that means you could put the wings on just about any doll!  Cool!

I'd like some thoughts on how that crazy tail would attach to a torso?????  Anyone?

I wonder if the reason they didn't use the Harpy from the webisodes as a model for the CAM is because they plan on using her for a Signature release down the line?  A girl can dream...

When I try to explain CAMs to people, I describe them being like Legos:)  A pile of body parts you can use to build any sort of doll you'd like.  Most collectors just put them together so that all the body parts match, but in theory you could make a skeletal, sea monster, with insect wings, snakes for hair, and three eyes!

Can't wait!

I figured out how to if you're willing to mutilate a wig. I saw a tutorial online and modified what they did. Basically, I popped that hard piece out, cut the hair off the wig, snipped the peg off, and trimmed out a circle to fit the hole in her head. Then I superglued that in and voila!

TRU in Australia are hosting a Halloween event at some of their stores. Saturday 27th October, once at 10am and another at 3pm. Apparently there's a few activities to do for the young ones, and if you pre-register your attendance you get some kind of gift (probably a goody bag). Only a few spots left tho

Before I excitedly debox SS Lagoona, can this be sanded down without ruining the shimmery plastic she has on her legs? I've sanded my venus and some of my Rochelle's legs but they don't have the same appearance as Lagoona. I have 4 other ones who have never had this so I'm curious as to if anyone else has had it happen and if I can sand it with an emery board or if I should go and exchange her.. :(

So I threw it in the bag and saw with the promotion it comes out to ~$27 instead of $30 .. but no Pay After Delivery and I won't have enough until AFTER the promotion ends (the 24th, Wednesday, btw).

I definitely want her, but I'm going to be patient and wait until she shows up at Wal-Mart. My mom has a Wal-Mart credit card with a pretty high limit so she's letting me buy MH and MLP stuff on it and make payments on it. It makes it a lot easier to afford everything since all the new stuff tends to all come out at once, so instead of having to pay for everything at once, I can spread the payments out.

Anyone got some spare Lagoona 1.0 & 2.0 earrings? I'm desperate to buy if anyone here has any spare, just thought I'd put in a quick ask to the people online :)

Were there only 3 fairytale dolls?  I feel like a few more fit the description but are they not officially part of the series?

Congrats PUKU!  :happy:

Also, Dead Tired Lagoona Hydration Station in stock on Toysrus.com if anyones interested!

Thanks for all the congrats and stuff.

One of my Flickr contacts alerted me to my photo being on the MH Facebook page. I can't actually see it myself, though, because apparently they've restricted their posts to only a few countries or something. I'm glad they included the link to my Flickr account, and it's nice to know I'm finally starting to get some official recognition. I kinda keep hoping Mattel will offer me a job, but I doubt they actually have staff photographers. They most likely hire an ad agency to do all their photos and stuff.

I have to say, though, that I'm a bit miffed that they chose my photo of RM Frankie with the Coffin Bean shelves. I don't consider it to be all that great a shot. In fact, I only took it to use as my "bottles or jars" entry for a Flickr photo scavenger hunt I've been doing.

Oh I'm not. It would still be nice to actually be able to *see* the post, though. It's totally lame that they restrict their posts to people in a select few countries (I thought it was just the US, but it looks like Icecrystalline can see it, and she's in the UK).

I could also see Ghoulia as Sleeping Beauty, and maybe Cleo/ Deuce as Beauty and the Beast.

It's certainly a possibility now that they're releasing a CAM with a fish tail instead of legs!

I dunno. I think Lala and Clawd would be better for Beauty and the Beast, even if Lala's already featured as Snow Bite. Or would that be too stereotypical?

question to anyone who customs, what do people use to add parts? is it clay or some sort of compound?

I use crayola model magic. It light weight and it air drys. Takes a little bit to get used to working with it but i've been using it since i was a kid. Good luck!

Sunnie:  Is that what you used on your TMNT? :shocked:  For such an involved project, I would have thought you used some sort of professional stuff.

My vote for "Beauty and the Beast" is still Ghoulia and Slow Moe :lol:

Oh no, not Ghoulia as Sleeping Beauty...maybe Rochelle.  I am biased since Sleeping Beauty is my favorite.  I still have not quite decided if I want/like the Scary Tale dolls.  I have been tempted to get them but then see them in RL and loose interest.

I would die very dead of joy if there was a wave 2 of the Scary Tales  ^.^ So much love!

I actually think Rochelle would be perfect for Rapunzel. And whoever they chose for Sleeping Beauty, she'd definitely have to be called Creeping Beauty~ :D (It totally wasn't me who originally thought of that, I can't recall who did...)
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion Thread
Post by: Sprinkles on October 23, 2012, 05:03:06 PM
How about Spectra for Creeping Beauty? ^.^ She's always "creeping" on the other students to get a story? And I do love the idea of a Little Mermaid Lagoona.

Not a fairytale, but I think Ghoulia makes an amazing Alice from Alice in Wonderland.

Oooh! What about Thumbelina? I'm thinking Abbey or Rochelle. Abbey used to feel out of place before she became best ghoulfriends with the other girls and Rochelle is all on her own :( And I think Clawd could be Prince Charming.

Just a quick update re: my purchase of some custom resin shoes from Jemgirl Creations on Etsy. If you recall, I ordered some shoes from her a few weeks ago and when they arrived, two pairs cracked when I put them on and the third left gouge marks in my doll's foot. I learned that you can soften them up in hot water, so I was able to save the third pair. In the meantime, Jemgirl had offered to send me replacements. She said to allow 7-14 days ... they actually took almost 21 days, but they finally arrived today, and she's not only included a note about using hot water to soften them but has also given me another pair of shoes (which look like they're based on Frankie's heel-less DotD shoes) for free! Nice, eh?

That's how I discovered the fact. I was redressing Ichabod for a Halloween picture and tried to take his (1600 Clawd's) boots off. One came off fine but his foot came off with the other one! I almost freaked out til I noticed the peg post XD
