Anyone recognize any of these dolls? I assume the swim 3 pack will be a Target exclusive, since that fits the pattern. The others are probably wave 5 of the basic dolls for spring '13. None of them are part of the Scaris line as far as I can tell.

I have to admit, I'm pretty excited about Venus and Spectra!

You are correct in that we don't think these are Scaris dolls. The first three are just a Swim line. We don't know that they will be from Target, and I think someone said they'd be more like the second wave of Dead Tired dolls that aren't available at the major retailers.
The second set we are dubbing either 3.0, Fearbook, Picture Day, or I am sure a million other things.
I'm totally with you about loving that Venus, though :)

I second that. I must have them! :O
-
I really want that Cleo. I adore everything about her. And that Venus is looking more and more tempting. I don't like her signature version so I'm surprised I like this one, but something about her is making me want to get her as well.
-
They may just be the new swimline, since they do one every year. I will eat people if they're the random store ones- I have never seen any of the "discount, not regular doll" dolls anywhere, and adore Venus.

Are you referring to the Dead Tired Abbey, Clawdeen, and Draculaura as being not available at major retailers? I bought mine at Walmart, and I've seen them at Target and Meijer too. Can you clarify what you mean?
-
I like the new Abbey quite a bit! The bangs are cute and her hair streaks on top is a nice touch.
I adore all of the bathing suits! I may not get the dolls, but I'll have to hunt for the suits!

Really?! Oh wow, no my Wal-Mart, Target, and Toys-R-Us don't carry them. I've only seen them a Dollar General, Ross, Big Lots, etc.... I was under the impression that the Abbey/Clawdeen/night-gown Draculaura were not available at major retailers. :blush: Sorry for giving out bad info

I haven't heard anyone finding them at major retailers. I've seen them at Meijer, too, but apparently they don't count because they aren't national. Alot of people around here have complained about what a struggle it is to find them. Oh, I've also seen them at JCP too.
-
We don't have Meijer's down here. I had never heard of them until I started collecting
-
Mejier is only in a handful of states (5, I think.) Hardly national :lol:

I don't think it was bad info! I just didn't realize they are harder to find since they are so common here. That said, if anyone needs them, let me know! We have lots! I've never seen them at Toys R Us, but I got mine at Walmart, and Draculaura from Target and the others from Meijer for a friend. I've also seen them at Kmart, and they were cheaper there, but I'd already bought mine.
-
WOW. They are all GORGEOUS and I NEED THEM right now. *drooooooooooooooooool*
-
I love the swim dolls! But more than that? I WANT THAT CLEO! :shocked:
-
Huh? Cleo looks odd, without the traditional wrap patterns, I guess the horizontal stripes are supposed to be the wraps, but since is so perfect horizontal and along wit the colors it kind of looks like clothes meant for the Bee CAM ghoul instead than a mummy teamed outfit.
The Spectra looks very good, finally they stopped using the neon fuschia in the eyeshadow, and I only like her signature release because of this issue since I don't like that color in her makeup.
I really like the deluxe Draculaura :inlove: and the Abbey looks very neat.
And about the DT wave 2, is strange because I found two of them here in my country in a kiosk inside a mall. :what:
-
Sapphire, if you look at he shirt it's got lighter blue lines on it? That's where the bandage pattern is- they're not all lined up, and scattered a bit underneath those splashes of gold.

I totally agree here.
This Cleo looks like a regular fashion doll to me and not like an Egyptian mummy fashion doll.
The outfit is lacking the Egyptian call backs and the color scheme looks more fitting for Nefera than Cleo. As someone who's very interested in Ancient Egypt and therefore has always loved Cleo's designs I'm kind of disappointed.
I see they tried to go for a kind of Cleopatra VII look with the Greek sandals and all, but I have to say I highly disapprove of this :/
But I lovelovelove the swimsuit set. That retro style is very cute! Even though I have to admit I'm kind of tired of all the Draculauras. Would have loved to see Gil instead of her in that line-up.
Especially since Venus, Lagoona and Gil are BFFs. Having a little Swim Team backstory for them would have been great, too.
As for Spectra - she's near perfect! Finally she gets different jewelry! Love the glittery black stuff.
Abbey - looks very mix and match to me. Maybe I will get her and just replace her dress with the one from her new fashion pack. Mhh, I dunno.
Draculaura - oh, look. Yet another Draculaura! *g* Come on, I thought Frankie was the main protagonist? I love Lala, but there are way too many dolls of her who all start to look alike. How many hearts-and-bows outfits can you make?
All in all, I wish they would bring back the "monster" in Monster High. The new dolls look too much like regular girls with a crazy sense of fashion to me :/
Sorry for coming off as bitchy.
-
Great, now I want that Venus :biggrin:
But if I ever see the others, I wouldn't mind taking some :lookround:

Ah! you mean on the clear blue raincoat thing she is wearing? (or at least it looks like that material in the pic) thanks for pointing it I haven't noticed that, it does appears to have some kind of wrap patter, sadly is hard to see on the pic hopefully we can have a better quality pic soon.
I totally agree here.

Very true, the outfits does looks mush less monster-ish now :cry:
Even if I like the deluxe Draculaura, she does look less vampire teamed and more just gothic lolita fashion >_<
I also think is odd about what is happening to Frankie, she was supposed to be the lead character but we haven't see too mush of her releases lately, maybe is because the little girls prefer Draculaura instead? at least when I'm in the store, most of the time the little girls go to look at the Draculauras first. :lookround:
-
I really want the Lagoona from the first picture. I'll pass on a second Venus. It would be different if they gave her a different hair style. She looks too much like my other Venus though. Draculaura is kind of cute but I prefer the one from the second picture and will most likely be getting her. :) Also.. Abbey with bangs! Loving that. Spectra I'm not too sure on though. We'll have to wait and see.
I agree about Cleo.. she just.. doesn't fit the whole Mummy scene in that outfit. I'll pass on her.
-
I really don't care that Cleo doesn't look too Egyptian themed, I think she's gorgeous and I love her outfit. Was it ever actually said that Cleo is supposed to be a mummy? I mean, her dad is one, but I always thought the bandages were more of a style thing, than actual necessity.

Look at her bio from the signature release and her description here http://monsterhigh.wikia.com/wiki/Cleo_de_Nile

Oh, ok. I never really paid much attention to her (as far as her background, etc) since I never really liked her. The Fearbook version is the first version of her I've really wanted.

Well, the outfit is pretty yes, but wit those perfect yellow and black stripes and the clear blue shirt/ jacket, it looks like something the Bee cam could wear , it even looks kind of similar to the one that doll comes wit. ;)
