RE: Wydowna
I'm happy about a true-black skinned doll too. After getting (Novi Star) Malie with 4 arms that aren't pose-able (love her regardless), I'm excited about the prospect of being able to pose Wydowna's arms. I'm wondering if each arm will have its own peg.

I just have to say I'm excited the new CAM's showed up at my Target! Gorgon/Mummy and Blob/Ice Girl. I can't wait to get them together - although I wish I had the skeleton CAM so I could mix and match with my mummy.

no power ghouls yet sadly :(

Heath and Abbey 2-pack... waaah! Can't wait to see them. And the shoe set... I would be in heaven. Monster High has some of the best doll shoes I've seen and certainly my favorite from playline.

At the moment, I am most excited for Catrine. I never go to Walmart but I just gotta find a way to hunt her down.

Hello everyone again :)

So... I've been watching some of the other buy/sell MH forums lately and I cannot believe what some people try to pass off as a possible trades. BW Skull Shores Frankie for DotD Deuce? LULZ. The Siren and Harpy Cams for Gil? Yeah, no. I am very supportive of the fact that those of us within the community often sell/trade for less than Ebay value, but some of these suggestions are ridiculous even for newbies to the community (do some research first!). And while a seller/trader can accept whatever deal that they want, I haven't seen these two suggestions picked up! Anyone else have stories of rather silly deals you've been offered or seen around?

Going to ask this again, because I only got one reply in the previous thread:

Have you ever dreamed about Monster High?
Other than having nightmares of finding dolls I searched for and them suddenly turning into Fakies, I've had several MH Dreams. :P

One was when I dreamed I was walking through the halls of MH and actually being in class as one of my Ghouls. Another was when I dreamed that I was in a scene of the first book as my ghoul. Those dreams are fun to have and I miss having dreams like that, instead of having those scary nightmares of finding a doll then having them become fakies. >,<;

ETA: Ahhh my post is the 13th post in the 13th thread!! Eee!

I stopped by TRU today looking for Scaris Deuce and strangely they had a ton of werecat twins and DT Lagoona! I was shocked to see that many Lagoonas.
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 13
Post by: Bow Tie on January 07, 2013, 03:54:08 PM
My TRU has plenty of DT Lagoonas. I'm tempted to use my $10 off coupon on it so I can have a second one, but I don't think it would be worth it.

I have a bunch of coupons expiring on the 11th and I don't know what to use them on because TRU is so expensive! I have a $10 off, $6 off, $5 off and $1 off.

I've found a bunch of Werecat Twins set at my TRU lately, too. Even though they had a few, it was hard to find a set with decent faces! They were all kinds of screwed up. :(

I'll have to keep checking for Deuce! I have seen the Scaris singles there before, but no dice on Deuce.

I went back to check for more CAM's but someone had grabbed the other 2 :(

On the plus side i found Power Ghouls!!! they were shoved onto a random shelf I just happened to glance at as I was leaving the MH aisle LOL. They haven't completely done their reset and just got them in deciding to shove them wherever was room - so if you head to Target check around :) you never know if you'll find them

Been to my local toystores today and they still swim in Ghouls Rule.
One of the stores had an entire shelf full of them, all four dolls, about five or six of each one.
Lol, seems like the Germans didn't like that line.

They are a bit more expensive since there are no drastic clearance sales like in the US, but I could organize them for you if you are still looking for them. I think they are about 30€. I've also spotted some left over Scary Tales Frankies and Lalas and they still have SS Ghoulias floating around, but do you think they ever think of making them cheaper to get rid of them? No *g*

I don't think there's 100% certainty yet that she will be released in doll-form, but since she makes in appearance in one of the Power Ghoul doll's mini-comics, there's speculation that it means Mattel will release her some day [soon].

It's so much fun reading about other people's MH dreams!
I too, know the pain of waking up without the amazing dolls from your dream.

I dreamed of a IRL version of the MH section of the dollhouse, pretty much like we used to discuss sometimes!

It seriously was this huge dollhouse where fans came together to get dolls, play with them and show them off. I befriended a new girl there, helped her get her first doll, Venus. Who became her favourite and I recall finding a new Venus doll.

I swear this doll was adorable. The more I think about it, the more it seemed like a "save the earth" doll line. As Venus' box seemed quite easy to recycle with all that cardboard and all. It looked really different from what we're used! But the best part that it came with a semi-playset. The box was pretty big and had a lot of fun stufff for Venus. She was in a gardening outfit, but in her own style. It had something Polish written on top.

I was really bummed when I woke up that she didn't excist.

Have you ever dreamed about Monster High?

I've had one dream where I found the doll I soooo desperately wanted at the time (Sig Ghoulia, about a week before she was on shelves back in '10), and when I presented it to the cashier, it was a bashed-box Barbie. The person in line behind me had Ghoulia and she was laughing crazily at me. My poor husband couldn't figure out why I had a death-grip on that first Ghoulia when we finally found her.

I've also had the 'Found a bunch of great, rare dolls, bought them for pennies, gave 'em to anyone who smiled at me' dream, which was great.

I'm sure others have had more interesting dreams !

No it is all there.
I do think someone mention on here DT Spectra, Robecca and Lagoona. But I have not heard anything.
I think it may just be because of the bed and bathroom playset the rumor of a new DT line.
Though it would be nice to have more.

Wow, that would be such a neat idea!
In fact, we should have a thread about what kind of new releases we'd like to see (I think we have one like that over at the MLP FiM section).
I'd be all over an environmentally-friendly Venus with gardening outfit and accs!

I hope they will one day release a DT playset for her or something like that. With a neat venus flytrap bed and stuff. Like so! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=b7TwMZxApEg#t=27s) Bwahaha!

I swear when I first got Venus, she was slowly making her way up to my top favorite maybe a little past Spectra and Lagoona, but damn! After making my OC Plant Monster design, now she's my #1 favorite Ghoul! She's gonna be my exception and I'm gonna aim to buy every release of Venus!! I gotta have every Venus and have a whole Orchard/Garden of Venuses and custom plant monsters!!

Oh man I'm glad I'm not the only one who has MH dreams! Somehow my dreams always end up with someone else taking the doll or it being a fakie :<
Ahhhh the fakie dreams, the worst of all MH Dreams I've had!!

I also remembered having a dream about MH section of the Arena, but it was like our own version of a Maul and everyone was their on OC roaming the maul and food court and socializing with each other. I just hate hearing the sound of my alarm, waking me up. >,>;

I want a DT Venus with a playset! Her playset would just be amazing! I could see her having a playset similar to Lagoona's new playset only it would be plant-related.

I have a question. I am thinking of pulling back my DC Howleen's hair into one ponytail. What do you guys use to pull their hair up? Should I just use the little plastic thing that's being used to put her hair in pigtails? I've never modified any of my dolls in any form outside of changing clothes. lol

Yeah, possible Wave 3 DT is the only thing I noticed that's not on the first post :) But so far it is just one of the very vague rumours (that I'm really really really hoping is true!)

So... I've been watching some of the other buy/sell MH forums lately and I cannot believe what some people try to pass off as a possible trades. BW Skull Shores Frankie for DotD Deuce? LULZ. The Siren and Harpy Cams for Gil? Yeah, no. I am very supportive of the fact that those of us within the community often sell/trade for less than Ebay value, but some of these suggestions are ridiculous even for newbies to the community (do some research first!). And while a seller/trader can accept whatever deal that they want, I haven't seen these two suggestions picked up! Anyone else have stories of rather silly deals you've been offered or seen around?

I've also noticed some, ah, *interesting* proposed trades on tumblr... generally the new (temporarily HTF) stuff for old (permanently HTF) stuff thing... which is just not quiiite equivalent! But yeah, if they get takers, okay, cool! If not... research XD But then, I think research is one of the most fun parts of collecting! (Am I weird?  :redface:)

I've dreamed about dolls too, quite frequently really. I dreamed about finding signature Abbey very vividly a few times before I actually found her!

One reason I love the Dead Tired line is because their makeup is so much softer, particularly Frankie, Clawdeen, and Lagoona. Also, their hair is much more relaxed and natural looking. I'd love more DT!

I love that about the first wave of Dead Tired too! They all looked so fab with their more "natural" makeup. I was a bit sad when wave 2 Abbey and Draculaura were released and their makeup wasn't quite as subdued as the previous girls'.

Agreeing very much with liking the softer make up of the DT line. It makes them look younger/sweeter. I like that look.

In other news, I had a pretty crappy day today and ripped open Polterghoul to make myself feel better. It worked... For about 5 minutes. Now, I'm wanting to open Wonder Wolf just because, but I'm still undecided on whether I will keep her.  :blush:

The rumor was started here: 
http://www.monsterhighdolls.com/forum/topics/new-dead-tired-and-beds
The OP has an online retail account and claims to have seen a listing for them on Mattel's wholesale page, though there's no images for them just yet.

I'm not positive, but I believe that's the owner of Dolly Daydream. She's done some really fantastic customs that a few people may recognize from images passed around the web.

I'm a bit sad that I never got her when Dead Tired littered the shelves way back when but I had so many Frankies already at the time that I couldn't justify getting another one, even if she was a budget release. What a regret, as I still find her one of the most beautiful Frankies (second favorite after her Dawn of the Dance incarnation).

I LOVE my DT Frankie!! Her makeup is so beautiful! Not too bold or out there, a soft pink color. :P

I'm a bit sad that I never got her when Dead Tired littered the shelves way back when but I had so many Frankies already at the time that I couldn't justify getting another one, even if she was a budget release. What a regret, as I still find her one of the most beautiful Frankies (second favorite after her Dawn of the Dance incarnation).
I got her on impulse! :P Stores stopped having DT, I loved her face and hair style, and when I saw her for sale here nude for the right price, I got her!

The soft sweet faceups are what made me fall in love with DT too :inlove: Well, that and the awesome jammies!

The rumor was started here: 
http://www.monsterhighdolls.com/forum/topics/new-dead-tired-and-beds
The OP has an online retail account and claims to have seen a listing for them on Mattel's wholesale page, though there's no images for them just yet.

I'm not positive, but I believe that's the owner of Dolly Daydream. She's done some really fantastic customs that a few people may recognize from images passed around the web.

Ooh, 100% more faith in the rumour now!  ^.^ *crosses fingers* I hope Spectra has a floor-length flowy nightgown...

Post by: Bergamot on January 07, 2013, 07:52:43 PM
One reason I love the Dead Tired line is because their makeup is so much softer, particularly Frankie, Clawdeen, and Lagoona. Also, their hair is much more relaxed and natural looking. I'd love more DT!

This!! I love my DT Clawdeen; her face up is nice and her hair colors aren't as crazy as other releases can be. I got an adorable little red dress from an Etsy seller, and she just looks fabulous! Now I've got to find some shoes...!

I swear this doll was adorable. The more I think about it, the more it seemed like a "save the earth" doll line. As Venus' box seemed quite easy to recycle with all that cardboard and all. It looked really different from what we're used! But the best part that it came with a semi-playset. The box was pretty big and had a lot of fun stufff for Venus. She was in a gardening outfit, but in her own style. It had something Polish written on top.

I was really bummed when I woke up that she didn't excist.

Wow, that would be such a neat idea!
In fact, we should have a thread about what kind of new releases we'd like to see (I think we have one like that over at the MLP FiM section).
I'd be all over an environmentally-friendly Venus with gardening outfit and accs!

I hope they will one day release a DT playset for her or something like that. With a neat venus flytrap bed and stuff. Like so! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=b7TwMZxApEg#t=27s) Bwahaha!

Yes Mattel, make Venus a Power Ghoul please!

I swear when I first got Venus, she was slowly making her way up to my top favorite maybe a little past Spectra and Lagoona, but damn! After making my OC Plant Monster design, now she's my #1 favorite Ghoul! She's gonna be my exception and I'm gonna aim to buy every release of Venus!! I gotta have every Venus and have a whole Orchard/Garden of Venuses and custom plant monsters!!

I want an army of plant monsters for Venus too!

Scaris Rochelles do seem to be more speckled than the original Rochelle but it really doesn't subtract from her beauty IMO. xD

Agreeing very much with liking the softer make up of the DT line. It makes them look younger/sweeter. I like that look.

In other news, I had a pretty crappy day today and ripped open Polterghoul to make myself feel better. It worked... For about 5 minutes. Now, I'm wanting to open Wonder Wolf just because, but I'm still undecided on whether I will keep her.  :blush:

Sorry you had a hard day. I hope tomorrow will be better.

I was messing around with the spare MH clothes I have in baggies and I came up with this silly getup for Howleen. I think it looks quite adorable. The pants actually fit! They seemed small on Lagoona when I had them on her, but they fit great on Howleen. And her hair in a poofy ponytail is totes adorbs! <3 DC Howleen has quickly become one of my favorite dolls that isn't a Lagoona. :lol:

I still see her every so often. I see more Robeccas than Venus. I'll probably end up picking her up at Meijer unless I find her at TRU and use one of my coupons. I am gonna pick her up sooner rather than later because she may end up disappearing once the new wave of PD dolls come out. D:

Yes. My Target currently has: one of each of the Dance Class Dolls, tons of Scaris Rochelles (along with a couple Scaris Clawdeens and Frankies), Ghouls Alive Spectra and Clawdeen, and several sig Venuses (Venusi? Venii?) and sig Robeccas.

Haven't been to Walmart in probably a month or so but I am planning on going tomorrow... They were completely wiped out of MH before Christmas so I'm anxious to see what they've gotten in.

My Target has been receiving the last signature case fairly regularly. Tonight there was a 2.0 Lagoona, Venus, Rochelle, Abbey and 2 Robeccas. However, they've only gotten a couple shipments of PD. It's been a few weeks since I've been in TRU, but there were some of the signature case dolls there as well.

Been lurking, but not posting lately. However, I am ecstatic at the possibility of Wydona/AJ becoming a reality, as well as Heath (finally!). I'm excited for the new stuff, like Gigi and Twila; but since I saw the promos for them from the survey, my initial flailing has subsided a bit. It's one of the downsides of a franchise that has such a fast-moving product release; one barely has time to process the excitement before something else rolls along to squee over.

I'm almost completely caught up with current releases, but I've been holding off on the Coffin Bean. Does anyone have a Costco set they're looking to part with? I'd be interested in either the complete set, or just Draculaura. Looking for good faces on the dolls; I don't use a protractor to measure eye placement, but I also don't want Picasso-face :P. If you're selling, PM me please!

Oh, my kingdom for an official Dead Tired Spectra! She absolutely needs a long, ghostly white nightgown, like Puku's custom one. :)

Gardening Venus is a great idea, especially in a unique earth-friendly box, it's so very her.

"Smallpox Rochelle" is too funny! :blush:

Still seeing Venus this week in Texas, in Targets.

Bow Tie's Howleen outfit remix is hilarious/adorable. I think it suits her theme too! I also like the poofy ponytail. Darn Howleen, making me want multiples of every release of you so each one can have a different awesome hairstyle...

Been to my local toystores today and they still swim in Ghouls Rule.
One of the stores had an entire shelf full of them, all four dolls, about five or six of each one.
Lol, seems like the Germans didn't like that line.

They are a bit more expensive since there are no drastic clearance sales like in the US, but I could organize them for you if you are still looking for them. I think they are about 30€. I've also spotted some left over Scary Tales Frankies and Lalas and they still have SS Ghoulias floating around, but do you think they ever think of making them cheaper to get rid of them? No *g*

They do!  ;) At least Famila is currently selling GR for €20 (SUPER DUPER CHEAP 50% TAKE 'EM SALE.. lol) - I got a Clawdeen to custom her. But in general I agree. Except for REAL and TRU they NEVER go on sale. I love REAL tho, they have them on sale like every month or so.. which is not only making them cheaper, but also causing the stock to move much faster than in other stores around. :)

I believe it is between 20-25 aldepending on which store you get them from. Target and Wal Mart have them for around 20. TRU prices them a little higher at like 22-24.

Walmart refusing to stock and just leaving random things in the MH space [guess they are waiting for mods before stocking again. I was at a Walmart the other day, that had a couple of boxes of stock that they would not put out because it said new mod]. Then Target overstocking with items that were new 2 months ago. Tails, Venus, Robocca, and PD.

Two KMarts near me have them.  They seem to have gotten the cases in with Robecca, Venus, Abbey, and Rochelle. They both had several of each doll.  I actually saw them at a Target yesterday too, now that I think of it.  I wonder if it is a random pallet that Mattel found out back, or if they are just filler for now.

maybe an enviornment line concerning endagered animals or  animals from there " countries of origins" or just  learn about animals  similar to  the doll.
 
like draculara and a wolf,  lagoona and an ocean creature  sea turtle or monk seal? ,  abbey with a  polar bear or artic fox  , jinafire with a panda bear , toralei with a tiger

 kids could learn about the  different animals where they are from etc.

I see a lot of CAM sets wherever I go up here. Does anyone know if Jinafire and Skellita have come to Canada? I'm checking the sites online and they don't have them listed. :<

Also does anyone know if sig Spectra is still in stores? She's my next doll I'm after but I'm thinking I'll have to get her online.

I don't think there's 100% certainty yet that she will be released in doll-form, but since she makes in appearance in one of the Power Ghoul doll's mini-comics, there's speculation that it means Mattel will release her some day [soon].

*keeps fingers crossed*

I'm excited for the new stuff, like Gigi and Twila; but since I saw the promos for them from the survey, my initial flailing has subsided a bit. It's one of the downsides of a franchise that has such a fast-moving product release; one barely has time to process the excitement before something else rolls along to squee over.

So much this. I've not got loads of spare cash at all, and having all these dolls thrown at you at once is a bit much...as soon as one doll comes out, a new doll is announced...I haven't bought any for ages as I keep waiting to see which one I prefer, of course by the time they turn up they sell out straight away and I haven't got a hope of getting any anyway... :huh:

Skelita is available here (I've seen her in Walmart and Superstore). I have not seen reports of Jinafire showing up yet though.

And Signature Spectra has not been in Canadian stores for AGES. She never got a rerelease here unfortunately... :( The PD version should hopefully be out here soon though.

Just a heads up, Walmart.com is having a special "bundle" for $15 where you choose between Sig. Abbey, Sig. Robecca, and GR Cleo.

What sort of bundle deal? :o I would love a sig Robecca for $15.

They call it a bundle but it's just one of those three dolls for $15. Here's the link: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Customer-Choice-Monster-High-Doll-for-15/22791365 (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Customer-Choice-Monster-High-Doll-for-15/22791365)

Thanks for the link! I don't like to order online because MH faces can be such a tricky thing (I have way too many dolls with minor to not-so-minor face paint defects...) but for $15 it's awfully tempting. Maybe I can find one in-stores with perfect makeup to switch with just in case the bought-online one is less than stellar.

You know, I wasn't excited much for Twyla before, but I'm actually looking forward to her because I really like the details on her body and her cute clothes/accessories. It reminds me of something out of an anime series. There's also always the chance that her face is just a prototype and the final product will be very different-looking (and prettier, to me).

I have been blessed with the MH Doll Goddess! I didn't come home with another Sig. Venus, but I did make it home with a perfect Jinafire, now I can take the one with the lip smear and take her back and get my money back (or possibly exchange her if I find a Sig. Venus. :P)
Congrats on finding a better Jinafire! I know how difficult it is to open up the box and be disappointed, like I was with PD Spectra's awful choppy hair (although I'm making the best of it and I've trimmed off the worst clumps).

Good luck finding Venus, and drop me a line if your luck runs out... I'll grab one for ya.

My PD Spectra has really choppy hair as well, but it's nowhere near as bad as my signature Spectra's... for some reason sig Spectras have a giant chunk of hair (about 2 inches) just randomly chopped off on one side. It's bizarre and quite ugly.

I actually like the swimsuit Venus (her fang-sunnies are pretty cool) enough so I wouldn't be too upset if I had to settle for her instead of sig Venus... but I like sig Robecca way better than Dance Class Robecca (and her fashion pack!) so hopefully I can get her before she's gone.

I want both! :lol: After I get paid on Friday, I'm gonna grab one. I went to Target a half hour ago and found a case of the Venus/Robecca/Rochelle/Abbey case had been put out. So that's a good sign!

Did anyone else notice that most, if not all, the cases that come with Venus/Robecca/Rochelle/Abbey have the 2011 Abbey with the old MH logo? I would randomly see that Abbey and I thought it was just old stock, but when I see new cases put out, it's still that old Abbey. Why did they put a hold on producing Abbey when they had a bunch of these with the old MH logo?

Grats on getting Jinafire, doesn't feel great to finally be able to find one after everyone else has been finding theirs?! XD

I also kinda feel that way with Draculaura and Lagoona's fashion packs, but Spectra and Abbey's look amazing to me! Sure they may seem a little bland, but add some matching pieces from other fashion packs/releases, they actually look more amazing. :P

The newest regular fashion packs really do seem to be a bit subdued/simple compared to older fashion packs (especially considering the multitude of cute little accessories fashion packs 2 and 3 came with) but for Abbey at least, her wave 5 fashion pack looks way better than her wave 4 one. Not to say I dislike the newest fashion packs (heck, I bought Spectra's yesterday)... they look very pretty and sort of modern or "realistic," maybe?

maybe robecca for air quality or pollotion controll LOL ( carbon foot print)

 howleen /clawdeen (recyling / alternative fashion

Plus they had like 4 Sweet 1600 dolls, 1 Rollermaze dolls, 3 Skull Shores dolls, 4 DDG dolls. and 2 Ghouls Rule dolls. Oh, and 2 Coffin Bean sets.

They are a bit simpler, but the price is lower than on the last few waves of fashion packs. And there's something nice about being able to add other pieces to them, like LuvlyMelody mentioned. Personally, I like them a bit better than some of the earlier single-outfit packs; especially compared to the last wave of singles. Lagoona's yoga outfit was a travesty, and we won't talk about poor Clawdeen's hammer pants and "drunk cougar" jacket. There's taking risks with fashion, and then there's running towards a moving train :P

Abbey's was also pretty cool, but Operetta's was too "simple" and Clawdeen's, I don't even wanna think about those or have the though or image of them popping into my head. >,<;

I swear the ones back then were like: $8-14.99 (depending on the Store(s)), these ones are about $5.99, may not seem like a big difference, but to me, that actually is a big difference. :P

Well, Venus did say one of her New Year resolutions was to clean up Gloom Beach, and we DO have her with Lagoona (the hippie) and Draculaura (the vegan) coming out soon with beach wear.

I seriously never noticed this.

I must be in the minority because I liked the most recent wave of single fashions the best. I love that they are simplistic and more realistic. I did not like the last wave at all. Lagoona's suit thing was very unfortunate, and while the Hammer pants brought back some memories, they've never actually been on a doll. The only outfit from that set that I even remotely liked was Abbey's, but that's because I'm a figure skater and doll ice skates always make me happy.

Please let this be a re-release!  I would love to get that Lagoona and Clawdeen.  Does have an Abbey bed in the pic and come on who has old stock like that (hoping, hoping, hoping).  If it is real, whoever found them probably snapped them all up.

The Clawdeen and Lagoona are the old style boxes.. so it's likely they were either returns or stock that was buried in the back room. I'd imagine the same for Toralei, but she's the one I'd wanna hope I found randomly in store.. xD

Also I'd love Clawdeen's hammer pants if they weren't.. awful... colors. Like, most of Clawdeen's stuff as of late has rubbed me the wrong way because she looks so gaudy to me ;o;
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 13
Post by: Aaryana on January 09, 2013, 07:30:14 AM
The friend who showed me the pic said it was where he lives and his friend found them. I assume old stock someone found and put out or holiday returns (from some bonehead who had no idea that they had a small fortune in hand).

ETA: If you look closely, you'll see that it's a Clawdeen with human hands, not claws. So, a really old one!

I got lucky and found my Wave 1 Lagoona and Clawdeen the same way. Months after their initial release I found them randomly sitting on the shelf and just happened to be there at the right time and grab them. Both boxes were really scratched/dinged up so they'd been stuck somewhere for a long time.

Just checked the store in Lowell and got the same thing. Empty shelves and stickers. I asked one of the employees and she said that they wouldn't get their shipment until Friday.


At which store? I've been looking in the Lowell area and NH and haven't spotted even an indication that they are coming!


I love Clawdeen's hammer pants and her yellow jacket too.  Kung foo Lagoona is a tough sell however.  I'm going to swing by Target *again* this morning to see if they received Powerghouls stock.  I know they're arriving soon because they cleared shelf space and put out their price sticker.  Wish me luck!
Hey!  The Target in Haverhill and Methuen MA are the ones with spots and stickers for Powerghouls.  I was just at the one in Haverhill this morning, and they weren't stocked yet.

ETA: If you look closely, you'll see that it's a Clawdeen with human hands, not claws. So, a really old one!
First thing that popped into my mind when I saw the picture.

I am so grateful that I found every signature doll in store in the beginning of my collecting without having to panic online at those scary high prices. >,<; Also grateful that when I couldn't find First release Clawdeen, someone here was nice enough to pick one up for me here and sell for a total of the price+shipping!

I only got Frankie at the store when they first came out. ;^;
But I stalked ebay for MONTHS and managed to get Lagoona for 1.5x and Clawdeen for 2x their resale price, from a collector. (So basically mint, even the plastic cords were/are still attached. They have a wee bit of glue seepage, to treat it I had to get rid of the cords which was/is a shame but oh well.
..then again which EU wave1 doll doesn't have seeping glue. -_-)

So still a reasonable price. However, I'd LOVE for them to be re-released like Lala, because I desperately want to repaint those two in my own style. xD :heart: ..so fingers crossed that one day they'll be sold again. ;>

I got all my originals when they came out. In fact, if I"m not mistaken my Draculaura's box (which is in the attic right now) said that the dolls were for 13+ instead of 6+. There's times I kind of wish they STILL said that because I HATE HATE HATE having a customer b*tch to me and say that the dolls are slutty and not appropriate for her 9 year old and how dare Mattel make dolls like that and market them to kids as young as 6. That or that box says it's for 6 year olds why do you think my 12 year old would like this she isn't into baby toys. Both of those parents make me roll my eyes.

Mine was too, I grabbed Polterghoul and the two coloring ponies, they were working on ponies, so I didn't get in the way, lol.  I left Wonder Wolf behind.  I know that from this moment, I will never see her again, and she will become the doll I want the most solely because I left her there.

This happens to me quite a bit. I decide I don't want a certain doll I saw in stores and then my ambivalence turns into "must get" the minute I realize I may have lost my chance to ever get that doll for retail price.

I must be in the minority because I liked the most recent wave of single fashions the best. I love that they are simplistic and more realistic. I did not like the last wave at all. Lagoona's suit thing was very unfortunate, and while the Hammer pants brought back some memories, they've never actually been on a doll. The only outfit from that set that I even remotely liked was Abbey's, but that's because I'm a figure skater and doll ice skates always make me happy.

ETA: WOAH! Look what someone just found at a Walmart in California!

I too like the cute new fashions and at 5.99 I think they work ;D

Also that picture! I am soooo jealous haha.  It must be old stock or something since right below it is the ice bed for Abbey!~  I wish that'd happen to me  :lovey:

Some of the Targets here have started their resets but I've noticed they are typically slow near my house so I just wait it out.

I'm not sure if I LOVE all the new dolls coming out so fast and in a short span of time, but it is also exciting to have choices unlike MLP  :blush:

Honest confession. I found Toralei exactly one time at one store. They had 6, and I bought them all for me and various friends. I secretly wish I'd saved one for trade fodder/eBay. I thought woah six, I'll grab them, and then they'll be every where soon enough. But, I never saw her around here again.

PandaBerryInSpace: To be honest, I get that feeling with ponies. I have decided that the only ponies I'm going to collect from now on are customs from swaps. Besides that, I have very little interest in Hasbro ponies that aren't custom baits.

My main interest in MLP is the customs... I adore having a piece of art made by someones else, especially with it's a MLP. I adore my  customs...

I also want to get me some CAM monsters and custom Monster High... I love this.

A gardening Venus does sound good!

That would be awesome. Venus is one of my favorites....

I swear this doll was adorable. The more I think about it, the more it seemed like a "save the earth" doll line. As Venus' box seemed quite easy to recycle with all that cardboard and all. It looked really different from what we're used! But the best part that it came with a semi-playset. The box was pretty big and had a lot of fun stufff for Venus. She was in a gardening outfit, but in her own style. It had something Polish written on top.

I was really bummed when I woke up that she didn't excist.

Wow, that would be such a neat idea!
In fact, we should have a thread about what kind of new releases we'd like to see (I think we have one like that over at the MLP FiM section).
I'd be all over an environmentally-friendly Venus with gardening outfit and accs!

I hope they will one day release a DT playset for her or something like that. With a neat venus flytrap bed and stuff. Like so! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=b7TwMZxApEg#t=27s) Bwahaha!

How awesome would that be ?? I might have to try and make a bedroom set for my Venus sometime...

I want an army of plant monsters for Venus too!


Oh me too!!! Here is my Venus with some of her handmade monster plants!!!...

my original Venus has some wear on her fuzz, and a little smudge on her lips....i was thinking of touching up her lip
and my customs Venus (named Ivy) .....I am so excited for a new Venus....I want a Venus army!!! :D

I would'nt mind a Venus army! However, I definitely want an Abbey Army so not sure if I want an army of two different dolls!!! So hard to decide... I adore the Venus doll but Abbey's character is my all-time favorite!!!

Uuuugh.... I just spent WAY too much money yesterday and today. Yesterday I picked up Scaris Frankie, Operetta's delux fashion pack, and Lala and Spectra's fashion packs. Today I got Wonder Wolf, Abbey and Lagoona's fashion packs, and DT Abbey. So I guess no more shopping for me for a while. ;.;

ooh, I really want Wonder Wolf... This is the only Clawdeen I have wanted and I want her BAD!!!

I just got back from a similar but not-quite-as-awesome moment at Target!Amongst all the Ghouls Rule, Power Ghouls, Roller Maze, Dance Class, and Venus/Robeccas/Abbeyss/Rochelles, was a signature Spectra. I know there are three reincarnations of Sig. Spectra: Very first Wave 1, wave 2 with the eyes wider apart and not quite as harsh face, then the rerelease which I thought was identical to the first wave. The Spectra I found was obviously a return, and definitely the very first Wave 1 release :D The back has pictures of all the Wave 2 characters, including Holt and Ghoulia. It's also got a little coffin-shaped card advertising the book, rattling around inside the box.

 And now, looking at my Sig. rerelease Spectra, I'm noticing that there's a slight difference between these two's faces, as well. It's really subtle though, but it seems like the first one has an even harsher, fiercer look. But I'm so excited about this find! :D Signature Spectra is up there in my top three, maybe even top two favorite dolls, and I'm so happy that I've got all three versions now :D

I am the same way... When I get them I want to open them up and play with them... Currently I am debating on purchasing a completely de-boxed second set... I would be willing to pay the prices at this point... I have a decent tax return coming in and I would like to get a fully opened set because I want to be able to play with one set as well... I am a little mad at myself because I had a second wave 1 drac, clawdeen and frankie as well as a DOTD Deuce, but sold them because I wasnt sure I wanted to de-box any... but now that I have 2 sets of the classroom and dc and i  :heart: fashion sets, I am wanting to get all of the outfits and extra dolls to play with... OMG I didnt think this would be this addicting... wow... I am going to my target tonight to see if the power ghouls and scaris dolls... on my way now. BBL!!
EDIT:.. I dont know who it was that had done the room dedicated to monster high dolls but I wanted to do something similar with them by putting their playsets on book shelves with a diorama behind them... Such a neat idea... my husband is rolling his eyes as I write this  :lol:

Went to Target after work, and everything was set now, but the Power Ghouls spot was empty. boo. Really weird, though... they literally had 8 Scaris Frankies and NO other Scaris dolls. lmao. Poor Frankie.


Also, my Walmart's doll section is being reset tomorrow, and I peeked at the mod sheets when I was working tonight. There is, thus far, no set spot dedicated to Catrine, like there was with Cupid. There are, however, two large spots for "Monster High Travel Dolls", which I assumed meant Scaris. So it's my thought process, and I could be totally wrong, that she might just be added into the Walmart Scairs case assortments? hmmmm....

I have been pretty darn lucky in that department. I've had stiff joints but no loose joints. I've had hair I dislike, but maybe those are blessings in disguise so I can reroot them to make them unique and fabulous!

My wave 1 Clawdeen has the floppiest legs I've encountered yet (and a wonky-eyed face but that's my fault for not picking more carefully). I haven't gotten too many loose/stiff joints (I'd rather deal with stiff joints tbh) but my wave 1 Lagoona has an arm that I can't move at all lest it crack even more at the upper arm seam if forcibly posed. I got these dolls a long time ago (fall of 2010) and at the time I didn't even think of notifying Mattel to tell them about the defects. I also didn't want to return them to stores because I had trouble enough finding any dolls that weren't the Deuce + Cleo two-pack.

My wave 1 Clawdeen has super-floppy legs as well. Like, pick her up and one of her legs will dangle from its elastic, kind of floppy :blink: Very disturbing, the first time that happened. (All I've ever done with her is debox her, pop her in her stand, and put her on my shelf. No redressing or anything!)

I am really glad Mattel switched over to all-plastic joints instead of the elastic-strung legs, because however they were attempting that was Not Working.  :silly:

Well I passed by my MH isle today when I was at work we have Ghouls Alive, PD, lots of scooters, bathtubs and 3 pack plus there was some other stuff mixed in. I like the GA outfits, but not the dolls.

I was looking at Dance Class Robecca and signature Robecca and for the first time, realized that DC Robecca's eyebrows are thinner than sig Robecca's (and her "skin" color is not as bronzy as the original)... yeah, I'm not liking that. >_< I wonder if Mattel will alternate between her original face and her DC one or just keep the DC face (thinner eyebrows, lighter skin) from now on.

 i was excited  for GA especially spectra.. but man   those sound effect killed it for me. I don't want sound effects!  they are not even GOOD sound effects, and on top of that the dolls seem kinda cheap . most of the ones i saw at my tru had poor face ups with wonk eyes, and on   clawdeen  you can see her seem on her head.. they should have done GA robecca if  they were gonna show seam  hairline part.

 i still like spectra best and frankie is cuter than i thought she would be. i liked clawdeen way better than i did in the promo shots just not enough to buy her..    i just can't bring my self to buy them with those awful sound effects..
 atleast not for  $25 maybe if i find one on clearance or something.. or a good sale.

Agh, yeah b/c of the flocking I bet this is hard to do on her. I hate snapping of MH heads in general. x_x

I just recently got my first doll that won't look down.. oddly enough it's a china release (apart from the glue-issue, china dolls seem to be my worse ones in general.. floppy legs, wonky eyes,.. argh. But at least the hair is nice and dry. x_x).. does head popping and putting back on really help this? I always thought there was something wrong with the prongs in general when a doll has a stiff head like this. ;o;

would it help if half of the post was clipped off?? I think that's what's preventing them from looking down. I THINK I remember someone saying clipping off the prongs won't make a difference, but I don't remember.

I know how you feel... They have sooooo MANY releases with Monster High! I just had to decide that I did not need every doll and wait for one to come out that I really really like... Of course so far that has included Sig Venus and Ghouls Rule Abbey. I also have Sig Abbey - I think I just need all of her - we'll see... Hubby got me Ghouls rule Frankie for xmas and I really like her too...
This year I want so far if I am able to find all of them....
Wonder Wolf
Wydowna if released (I absolutely HATE her outfit that I have seen in pictures though... I will have to redress her... otherwise I am excited about her, I love the skintone and I love spiders)
and the Abbey and Heath two pack if released

Yeah, they really do release a lot of dolls.. -_- I'm just glad that I'm FAR from being a completionist. The PowerGhouls, Catherine and the new Sig Characters from 13 Wishes will most likely be the only dolls that I *MUST* have this year. And DOA, in case she'll be released. But to budget this out I have completely stopped buying ponies, even pondering selling some G4/G3 since my love is exclusively G1 I guess.. XD

My 3rd/4th collection is Kaiju and some designer toys every once in a while. But Kaiju I only buy 'cheap' when I'm in Japan and designer toys just here and there so I mostly don't count those *is cheating*. xD

other than MH my dolly collection consists of Livs, Moxie Girlz, and 1 La Dee Da.

So far, I think I'm caught up, the only ones I need at the moment are:
-Caterine
-CAMs starter sets

-Swimline is a maybe, but I definitely NEED Swimsuit Venus

If I had a non-flocked baity ghoul, I wouldn't mind trying to remove the head a couple times, and finding out how much strength it can handle. but my currently opened ghouls are Venus who I first opened yesterday and Frankie who I bought from someone here, and popping off their heads doesn't seem right to me. Sentimental value reasons. :P

I missed out on Scaris Deuce on Amazon again.  >_< 

I've been wanting to slow down on collecting too.  Trying to track down these dolls is getting extremely aggravating and collecting them is starting to not be fun anymore.  Thankfully it looks like most of the upcoming releases I can pass on.  There's still a few things I'd like to get.  Picture day Lala.  Scaris Deuce of course.  The Siren CAM. I'm on the fence about Scaris Rochelle (I really just want her stock) and Cleo's vanity (I love it but it's so big).

I'm just glad I'm not aiming for completion as far as MH goes. I'm only after those I like and can realistically get my hands on. (Holt, one day you'll be MINE!) I will never understand people who get stressed to the point of it not being fun. Collecting isn't supposed to be some sort of job that you have to deal with, it's supposed to just be fun! Granted, my want list is pretty extensive and I'm far from being a "no-duplicate characters" collector, but not to the point of being aggravating.  :huh:

I'm assuming they were using their iCoffins, which have an app that allows vampires to show up in photos. At least, according to DotD Clawdeen's box.

Overall, a very cute episode, and reminiscent of the earlier eps. I wonder if that Clawdeen will end up being an exclusive.

I agree with you on that! I had to take a break for a long time because I was so stressed and overwhelmed at not finding new dolls that it got to the point that it wasn't even satisfying when I finally found the rares.
After coming back and casually looking whenever im out it's so much better and I actually feel happiness when I find the dolls again now.

I stopped by a couple of stores today. I say a few dance class dolls, all of the picture day dolls, as well as all of the Scaris dolls (minus Deuce)

I almost picked up Skelita and Jinafire, but I was suppose to be clothes shopping for my new job, and I really really wanted Scaris Rochelle and the mummy/gorgon CaM, so I passed on them.

I have also decided that barring a completely hideous release, I will probably collect Rochelles.

Kudos to the first person that noticed she makes an adorable dragon, I am borrowing that idea :p

I browsed around tonight to see what I could find and stumbled across the Power Ghouls. Unfortunately, all of the Spectras were flawed (smeared or messy paint applications), so I left them both there, but I'd like to pick them all up eventually. Also found Abbey and Spectra's basic fashion packs for $5.99 at Target, so I grabbed those. Was surprised to see so many Skelitas and Jinafires about. The deluxe Scaris dolls are starting to saturate my local stores, though I saw no sign of the basics.

Mattel's website has a product listing for Catrine, along with a new promo image:
http://service.mattel.com/us/productPopup.asp?id=Y7295

THAT IS IT!! I AM DONE WITH MH!!! (Until Caterine comes out that is.)

Now that I have Jinafire and Skelita, CAM Starters can wait for now, since I don't have to worry about them because they're usually shelf warmers. I'm basically "up to date" and don't need to buy anymore stuff. Suddenly at this point, I've making impulse buys with the money I have have left saved for MH stuff and I might end up spending it on other random stuff before I can spend it on what I saved them originally for. >,<;

So I've decided to put myself in a shopping lockdown. No spending for me until February or whenever Caterine shows her pretty little face. :P

Also, me being impatient, went to walmart hoping that maybe, JUST MAYBE, someone at Walmart pulled a whoopsy move and shelved Caterine. Also went to Target and nothing new, just the dance class dolls were added, and someone bought off all the fashion packs.

It would be neat to see Lagoona start her own clique - her, Venus, Robecca, Operatta, Spectra, and Rochelle! Speaking of Rochelle, I watched the episode she's featured in and to be honest she felt like a knock-off version of Abbey to me. I expected her to be really sweet and bubbly (which would have been a nice contrast since gargoyles are supposed to be so stoic) but she ended up just being a bit bland to me.

I expected her to be really sweet and bubbly (which would have been a nice contrast since gargoyles are supposed to be so stoic) but she ended up just being a bit bland to me.
That's what we ALL Though about Rochelle once she spoke in the GR Special. XD

Rochelle, Venus and Robecca are already a clique of their own. (in my own head cannon at least.)

To me, Lagoona is like one of those one off characters that's still part of the group, but also usually stays in the background and always is there when the chips are down.

Rochelle and Abbey are voiced by the same voice actress, Erin Fitzgerald, but I agree, she sounds like a French Abbey. Not as much as in GR though. At least, to me.

I think the deal with Lagoona is that since she is on the swimteam and such, she is usually busy and thus, not around as much.

Mattel's website has a product listing for Catrine, along with a new promo image:

I so need this doll! :) I'm going to go nuts trying to find her, I can already tell.

Oh great, I'm starting to stress over these dolls  >_< Like I said in a previous post, I'm pretty far behind. I haven't been able to get any of the Scaris dolls (though I only want Skelita, Jinafire, and Deuce) :huh: If Catrine comes out before I get Deuce, I might miss out on one of them  :cry:

Speaking of exclusives, anyone hear anything about HHB? I'm really excited for her  ^.^ My ghouls need someone to keep them in line, lol. They also need guys >.> (that aren't my boyfriend's Gundams xD )

And they had another in stock that I didn't buy because I didn't want to be greedy pre-Christmas. Post-Christmas, it is on and I will buy any Deuce I see just for you people.

I just picked up Scaris Deuce and PD Lala at Walmart last night. I"m afraid that I stalked the poor stock boy for a couple of hours until I was certain he was done with the 'Mattel' boxes. Lol. I also got Robecca's delux fashion pack from TRU yesterday as well. So he's trickling into Walmart's now. The problem is he and Ghoulia are one per case, so they'll go more quickly.

Post by: eristell_neko on January 10, 2013, 11:09:56 PM
Well... Not really stalk.... It's more like I wandered around Walmart for two hours, constantly returning to the toy section to see how far he'd gotten. I didn't really have anything else to do and it gave me a chance to pick up some things I needed.

Also, it helps that he was cute. lol

Here it is. :)
http://www.monsterhigh.com/bios/catrine

I wonder what the story is to her being 415 years old and if they'll touch up on it in the special (or her diary, if she has one)? Clawd's diary established that weres aren't immortal, living for 400+ years (at least in the case of werewolves), and all of the werewolves/cats introduced to us have physically matched their ages so far. I suppose the cats may just have that whole "nine lives" thing going for them?

Looks like they just updated shop.mattel.com - they took off all of the old out of stock items. Looks like they won't restock Holt or basic Ghoulia (among a few other things but I've been stalking Holt on there for months and months hoping and wishing for a restock). =_=

Holt wasn't pulled quickly. For a while, there were tons of them languishing on shelves. However, he and Toralei were the two most requested characters where I work. So hopefully we'll get another version of him soon!

Post by: StormyRavenNeko on January 11, 2013, 08:48:33 AM
Oh I know, and I know there has been a lot of people asking for them to do a re-release of the boys. They need to listen to the pleas. At the same time I kinda understand why they do not do a mass release - look at how Ken never really moves off of the shelves. They're trying to find that perfect balance, but if the boys actually had their own SKUs then they could see how well they move.

For the longest time though Holt WAS a shelf warmer here at most Walmarts and then out of nowhere he vanished in thin air and became a sought-after boy.

Post by: dragonlady on January 11, 2013, 09:25:37 AM
Oh, I can't wait for Catrine!! She's purrrfect :inlove:

I think the problem with Holt was that he wasn't introduced when he first came out; he wasn't in any of the webisodes and I don't think he was mentioned in anyone's diaries. Then we have Jackson in the GB line; again not in any of the webisodes yet and only a brief mention in Deuce's and Lala's diaries (plus boys in *any* beach line never seem to do well). I think that if they had come out with Heath first it would have been different as he's been in several webisodes or even Gil as he is introduced as Lagoona's crush fairly early.

With all the message boards, want ads, ebay listings etc you'd think that Mattel would get the hint about making the boys more available.

I am never calling Walmart ever again to try and find dolls. Their computers are so outdated and slow that it takes forever for them to look up anything and it's stressful just trying to get them to understand what I want them to do. It's so much easier with Target. Their computers are not slow, the employees, for the most part, know what they're doing and the employees out on the floor can look it up on their PDAs. Maybe it's just my Walmarts, but I haven't had any luck with calling. It was a nightmare when Operetta and Nefera first came out. Luckily I drove to a local Walmart the day after Angelic Dreamz put them up for sale and found Operetta.

I found Scaris Deuce today at a Walmart  :cheer: He's my very FIRST guy ^.^ I'm so happy. I do not have a Cleo yet though so she might be a little angry when she finds that Deuce is the only male among my many ghouls :blush:

Also, I have two questions. 1) Do the guys have their own head mold or do they all share one? and 2) Based on how well MH is doing now, do you all think that it will last awhile like Bratz or possibly as long as Barbie? Or do you think it will die within a few years? :huh: *knock on wood* I'm not trying to be pessimistic or anything, I just want to see what everyone thinks.

I, personally, think that Monster High will be around for a while. They've done well enough to scare Bratz into doing their own version. I bought my first-ever Bratz doll today (to steal her clothes and wigs for my MH girls) and I just don't think the quality is up to par with Mattel. I know we've all had complaints about our dolls from time to time, but this Bratz doll just seems so cheap (and luckily, she was on clearance so I guess I got what I paid for). Monster High is also an extremely creative line... there are so many possibilities that haven't even been touched yet.

AND the message of MH is a lot more positive, it's about embracing your flaws and being comfortable with yourself, vs Bratz being about... being spoiled and bratty?

All the boy dolls also have their own face molds (Holt and Jackson share a face mold for obvious reasons!). It always amazes me that Mattel can come up with different face molds for every single character (except CA Cupid having Ghoulia's facemold) and I always wish that other playline doll companies would follow suit! It isn't enough for me anymore to see the exact same face in a different skin/eye/hair color now. I want them all to have unique facemolds! MH has spoiled me for playline dolls.

Cupid did get a retooling of her facemold when she was re-released. It's SLIGHTLY different from Ghoulia's, but honestly not enough for me to buy a second. Besides, I actually like the original Ghoulia-sculpt Cupid more than the new one, but that's just me.

MH has spoiled me as well with all the different face molds for different characters. Barbie DOES have a handful of different face molds, but usually their used for their special collectors dolls while the playlines all have the same mold. I DID like how when they were doing the Basics line all the girls (and the few guys) had different facemolds that they had used over the years. Also, they have the So In Style line of African American dolls who each character has a different, more realistic face mold, which was pretty nice. But yeah, I'm tired of playline Barbies and I"ll only get one if the theme of it really calls to me, like the Fashion Designer or some of the internationals.

That's true. Playline dolls that have more "realistic" features like Barbie, So In Style (some beautiful facemolds in this line btw) have different face molds. I suppose I was referring more to the anime/cartoony-styled big-name 1/6 play dolls like Moxie Girlz, Liv, Bratz, (Monster High,) etc. xD

Yeah, I noticed that most (if not all) playline dolls, besides MH, have the same face mold, just different lip/eye/hair color and skin color. >,<;

One of the things I loved about Barbie as a kid was that each girl had her own face, not just different makeup, ex. Teresa had a slightly larger nose and broader cheeks so I always liked her more (Barbie's nose was too small IMO in the late 80's/early 90's). I am glad they did the same with MH.

Yeah, they did use a couple of different molds on playline Barbies, but most of the ones I had when I was a kid were the same Superstar mold just with brunette hair and brown eyes instead of blonde and blue. And don't even THINK about getting a redhead. My ONE playline redhead when I was a kid was a Whitney, who was skipper sized. I loved her to pieces though because she had freckles and glasses too, like me. ^^

I've never paid much attention to barbie as a kid or my teen days, but as long as I can remember, before the Barbie Basics, I don't think there was ever an Asian Barbie. Sure an Asian themed outfit for barbie but never an actual Asian friend for her in the line. Was there ever an asian barbie?? I'd like to know/see.

I had one or two Kira's floating around, and my Mulan doll. I also had a couple of hispanic dolls and one AA doll. But most of my dolls were typical blonde haired blue eyed Barbies, Skippers and Stacies. I also had ONE Ken so playing Barbies with my friends was always a soap opera because Ken kept on sleeping with all of them. lol

Has anyone noticed a tag for the Werewolf Sisters at their Targets AFTER their resets have been completed?  Is there still a chance of finding them in store?

My target has completed their reset and I want to say that the sisters DO have a shelf tag. I will try and check for you the next time I am in there. I honestly don't know when that will be though since I have only been calling them to see about the power ghouls lines. I got tired of going in there on truck day and seeing only a case of Ghouls Alive come in, or one scaris cafe or car come in. :(
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 13
Post by: Rococo on January 11, 2013, 08:21:34 PM
The sisters have a price tag still ($34.99) and I've seen them at two different Targets in the LA area so far... It's a shame that all the Howleens had wonky eyes or I might have bought one. Thankfully, I have a flawless Dance Class Howleen and I actually think I prefer her softer makeup to basic Howleen's. I guess it helps that my boyfriend and I just played The Walking Dead videogame and DC Howleen reminds me of cute/pitiable Clementine xDD

And dxgirly, don't give up on Deuce just yet, I think that the basic Scaris line haven't been out for very long so eventually he'll pop up for you again.

My target got reset a couple weeks ago, but the shelves are still pretty empty. They don't actually order their product. The warehouse just ships them whatever they want. It doesn't make sense, but unfortunately thats how it is. They don't even know what they are getting till they get it.

I call every truck day and ask them to run the DPCI number for the power ghouls, and when they do that, they can also see if any other stores in the area have it in stock as well. I love that because I only ever have to call one store, and no driving is involved!

If you get the DPCI, then just call your target every other day or so when they open at 8am, (or whatever time it is for you) and have them run the number for you :)

I went to Target a few days ago and overheard one of the workers telling another customer that they get in Monster High dolls every single day and put them out but the dolls get snatched up so fast. I finally saw a bunch of Power Ghoul dolls for the first time at Targets today.

Yeah, different stores get trucks in on different days. Only one store near me gets trucks in every day. The rest of them only get them on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. So I try to call on those days at 8am when the store opens, so I can try and beat other folks there if they ever show up. Apparently the power ghouls dolls aren't even activated yet for the store near me, even though they have a shelf tag :(

Yeah, I found out about that a few days ago while I was on my way to school. They said that they get whatever the warehouse sends them and they stock it, and when they do get new MH stuff, they try to stock everything out all at once. (was at a different store, but it's the same concept) I guess that's just what they gotta do to maintain a store. The warehouse orders whatever and stocks up there, they send it out to the stores, the stores get whatever, and all they have to do is just shelve/stock it.

Dohh my gawd, that is embarrassing...and now I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that. >,> I feel the exact same way.

Going once is alright, going twice omg embarassing, three times?! In one day?! OMG WHY AM I HERE AGAIN!! I try to go every now and then, 2 consecutive days, errmh, a little awkward, 3+ days straight..."WTF Are you here again?! Why is this girl always coming here?!"

It gets even more awkward, when you're walking towards the toy section and you notice the same worker from the electronics section or something, and then you realize they might recognize you. >,<;

"Is she here again?!"
"It's that girl who always comes here and never buys anything."
"Wasn't she here earlier??"
"Wasn't she here yesterday??"
"I swear that girl always looks around the Toy section...like she's looking for something."
"I swear she was here earlier."

I live within 3-5 minute walking distance to Target so I can easily go there every day. I rarely buy anything (because they so rarely have any new MH dolls!) but I still check nonetheless.

Hehe. I have actually had someone follow me around in the store because I was wandering the toy isles for like an hour, looking at the stock waiting to be stocked.

I just ignored him since I wasn't doing anything wrong. I'd even asked another employee if it was OK for me to look through the boxes. But he followed me from toys, to food, and to the front door O.o Yeesh!

When I start seeing the same people in the toy section, I actually have started to talk to them :) I feel less weird if they know why I am there. I tell them I am looking for a new Monster High collectible doll that has come out. I tell them that I have been having a hard time finding it because it is a super popular item and scalpers tend to come in and buy every single doll, and that I'm trying to just beat the scalpers into the store.

A lot of them are super understanding about that. Sometimes they even volunteer to go check the back for me to see if what I want is back there :) It sure beats leaving them to make things up on their own about me!

... i've worked retail and it's a LOT more complex than "just ordering what you want" ...

... the store can't stock what the warehouse doesn't have because mattel is too freaking stoopid to realize that boys are popular and new dolls sell fast ...

the warehouses can order 60,000 case of something from Mattel ... but if Mattel only makes 10,000 cases ... the store has NO control over that ... nor does the warehouse ... it's all up to Mattel to pull their collective heads out of their behinds ...

and then to compound that ... those 10 cases are split up among SEVERAL store chains ... and in those store cahins there ae hundreds, if not thousands of stores ... equalling out to a few cases per store IF you're lucky until Mattel makes more available ...

... you can complain about the stores all you want ... but they have no say in the matter, nor do the warehouses ... it's 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% manufacturer stoopidity ...


and as for being recognized. who cares? people are looking for stuff all the time. i worked retail for YEARS and there are people i still recognize as regulars i used to help years ago ... and i've been in and out of a certain walmart store up to 12 times in a day ... crap happens ... they don't care unless you're acting suspicious/loitering/stealing/etc ... i mean heck ... i needed paint and a ladder ... then we ran out of painters tape ... then we needed more brushes ... then they wanted a different shade of paint for the focus wall ... then the wanted a drop cloth cause the couch wouldn't fit out the doorway ... then they needed more tape ... then lunch (and motrin) ... then mr clean magic erasers ... then another gallon of the original color paint ... then we realized they needed a new furnace filter ... then it was dinner ... then it was take back the extra tape and drop cloths ... they knew me by name at the end of that day ... a few of em even take the time to say hi to me like a long time friend and ask me if i'm looking for a certain doll or pony lol ... maybe get to know a few of em, it helps to have a few friends on the inside ...

I can't say for sure with Target (sure it's similar) but Walmart does track what sells through their scanners and the info is relayed through the supply chain to their warehouses.  Supposed to work like that anyway.  That's how it works on their non-seasonal stuff.  It's a pull rather than push way of filling shelves even though from what I have seen working at a Walmart it does not always work out.  Their seasonal stuff is more push, when they get it in at the warehouse they basically load it up asap and ship it to stores.  Basically 2 different systems in one warehouse kind of idea.  Somethings only remain at the warehouse a few hours and somethings longer because it is filled as needed.
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 13
Post by: LuvlyMelody on January 11, 2013, 09:39:41 PM
How I always thought it worked was that whatever the warehouse ordered, is whatever the stores get when they ship it out and they didn't do "special orders" because that would be more of a hassle for them. Most of these stores are not completely toy based/concentrated so I don't think they'd treat toy section/orders as equal as the other section/orders.

That's how I imagined it in my head. :huh:

I know at TRU (where I work) our computer systems will subtract items from inventory as they're sold, and when the inventory gets below a certain amount it sends and alert to the warehouse/DC to send more of that item. Problem is sometimes inventory is off, or it doesn't update quickly enough (like during x-mas) so inventory will say I still have 12 of an item when I actually have none. What I love is when I have -5 of an item. How can I have - of something? What the hell?

Your BOH (Balance On Hand) can get off easily if the warehouse says they sent you a case of something, but they didnt. Or it was a mispick and they sent you Bratz instead of Monster High. Then your bratz count is over and your MH count is under. And if you guys can adjust the BOH on a store level, and someone does that while a customer has one or two items in their shopping cart, then that creates an error also. So when the customer finally checks out, all of a sudden your perfect BOH is now -2. And then the truck comes in and that 12 pack from the warehouse never arrived, and now you are at -14.

I had sooo much fun trying to keep those numbers right when I worked in a grocery store. LOL. So many customers walking around with so many little things. The BOH was almost never right.

I have two different Signature Ghoulias, one says made in Indonesia and one says made in China.. is there a difference between the two? The one that was made in Indonesia has hair that feels different then the China one, maybe its just me though. Anyone got any info?

All I know is that when she was first released she has Saran hair, then when she was re-stocked in cases she had Kanekalon hair.

I had sooo much fun trying to keep those numbers right when I worked in a grocery store. LOL. So many customers walking around with so many little things. The BOH was almost never right.

Ugh... I hate BOH or whatever they call it at my job. I hate it with the fiery burning passion of a thousand suns. During X-mas it was ALL over the place because the system wasn't updating properly and DC kept on saying they sent stuff that never showed up, or people would steal crap, or we had to damage out a bunch of crap because some kid puked on it. Ugh. So annoying. >.<

I know a big problem at our Walmart too (didn't really notice until I worked there) is that a lot of stuff can sit in shopping carts for days/weeks on the floor or in the back because people ignore/don't have the time to replace them.  It is really bad at our local one.  Things from returns or items people decided not to get at the registers or placed on a shelf somewhere else in the store.  We would have carts lined up along the action aisles or in the back room of things like that.  That is another way that your count gets off.

Or like in dry grocery we would get pallets of shipments that would sit in the main aisles in the stock room without being binned because there wasn't room or enough stocking people.  So our shelves could be empty but our system could say we had 20 of something but since it was just on a pallet we couldn't go find it or find it easily.

Your BOH (Balance On Hand) can get off easily if the warehouse says they sent you a case of something, but they didnt. Or it was a mispick and they sent you Bratz instead of Monster High. Then your bratz count is over and your MH count is under.

Luckily at TRU we'll walk the store and straighten like crazy, so we never have carts just sitting in the aisles. We try to keep reshop left over for the morning to one or two carts, and then opening crew will work it out. Still I have sometimes found stuff put in the wrong spot because sometimes coworkers are morons. Especially when you're the only one over 20 that's closing besides management, and most of the others are boys. >.<

Oh yeah... That IS a nightmare, isn't it. Luckily the stuff I had to damage out was mainly dollar bin and clearance crap, but stilll... Cleaning up after that kid was NOT fun, especially when I was trying to push the mop and cart back to BOH and ever five steps a customer would stop me wanting me to help them. Like, HELLO. Do you NOT see the mop bucket I'm pushing? I didn't mind easy questions that I could answer quickly, but when they were like "Could you walk me to ____" I was like "Sorry, I have a biohazard here I'm trying to get rid of. If you go to customer service they'll be happy to help you find the item you're looking for."

I don't know what is going on with 3 of the walmarts I go to, but they just are not stocking MH stuff. 1 has a couple of random dolls, the 2nd has only a 4 foot section but only 2 shelves with MH leftovers the rest is Nova stars and bratz, and the final [worked there for 10 years] has an 8 foot section... not a single doll.. I know they are doing mods, but wow. A 4th store I go to has not done mods but they still manage to have stock, even a tag at least for the scaris thin box. Not sure what is going on with my former store.

I've never paid much attention to barbie as a kid or my teen days, but as long as I can remember, before the Barbie Basics, I don't think there was ever an Asian Barbie. Sure an Asian themed outfit for barbie but never an actual Asian friend for her in the line. Was there ever an asian barbie?? I'd like to know/see. Always wanted an asian barbie as a kid if I ever got into them, but never seen one.(NOT Trying to start some kind of racial argument or any kind of problem, just an observation)

*tries to get back to topic*

Yay, swimline coming out soon! *rubs her hands maniacally* Another Venus, she will be mine....oh yes, she will be mine... >=D

I know of one Asian Barbie they had.  She was part of the Barbie and Rockers line.  I think I actually have her.  Here is a link to some pix of them.

Lagoona is also in a big group shot in the back of Frankie's Scaris book. It makes me so confused. >.<

There is a Target in the same shopping center where I work at, and a Walmart like, two minutes away from there, and there's another Target five minutes from there, and then they're opening up a Walmart like, threem inutes from my house. I'm already one of those people who check stores several times a week. IT's going to be worse with walmart right down the street.

Ah, I remember the days of endlessly checking stores for toys, haha. When my fiance and I had a car it basically was a daily/nightly thing for us to check the multitude of Walmarts/Targets in our area for new stuff (of course, this was before I got into MH, I feel like if I had a car I'd be a little more on the upswing with my collection)... never seemed to get any odd looks from employees, granted no one in this area cares about doing their  jobs let alone a couple that keeps stalking the toy sections xD.

Also, I'm predicting our 'yearly' Target/Walmart multi-pak with Scaris Cleo/Lagoona. Just sayin'.

Maybe I'll just sell my Jackson and my Sweet 1600 Clawd and collect only girls. bleh. Any interest in them if I decide to sell?

I'd take clawd :D

I'd love Clawd, Gil, and Holt. Jackson's hair really bugs me and I would have to rehair him if I got him, and given his price tag I reeaaally don't wanna do that.

I asked my husband if he would buy me an expensive doll for my birthday in September, and he said "we'll see." If he gets me any of them, he will probably get Clawd since he is cheapest, but I would really like Gil most.

We also finally dressed Robecca in her fashion packs. Hanna didn't like the shoes, so they will be sent off to Jupi. Instead she got to wear the signature boots with both outfits.

Still nothing new at Target or WalMart in central MA.  Most of the stores around here restock on Wednesday and Sunday, so I am hoping to get lucky tomorrow. Even the TRU around here haven't really gotten anything new. Bleh.  Here's to hoping for restocks soon!

So I deboxed my Scaris Ghoulia and she is just gorgeous! I really dislike Ghoulia, both her dolls and her webisode version, but this doll is beautiful! I took her hair out of the ponytail and I'm gonna wash it or something to get it to stay straight since it's a big puffball right now. I took off her clothes and put her in one of the outfits from Operetta's deluxe fashion pack and kept her Scaris shoes on. She looks great in the top and skirt, but that skirt was a pain in the butt to put on her!

Would a straightener kill her hair? I was thinking of doing what I do with ponies by washing her hair in hot water, putting conditioner in her hair and then straightening it, but I have no clue what doll hair is like since I just keep their hair as is.

Also, my Lagoona Swim Uniform came in! It was a great surprise! I was expecting "History of Sonic the Hedgehog" and when I started opening the box, I saw on the package slip that they put the uniform in there as well! It made me so happy that they were coming from the same warehouse! Now I can keep this one in box and I am one step closer to having two of every Lagoona (fashion pack, plush, doll)! Just missing a second DT Lagoona to keep in box and two of the re-release SO Lagoonas! :D I can't believe out of the 7 I saw at Meijer, they all had bad make up! Mostly the lips were bad. Just my luck. :cry:

You would PM them and get their paypal email address and once they tell you the total you would pay. Its that easy :)

@ Bow Tie- Ive straightened Ghoulias hair with boiling water and it was so much easier than the other ghouls. Hers got straight instantly :) Unless they changed her hair this should work. When it gets straight just run some cold water over it to set it

I don't know if I'm out of line here, but I would be very grateful if someone picked up a deuce for me, paying for gas/effort/the doll of course. The only thing is, I have no idea how that would work. Would I have to send someone my address of would it go through ebay or....? I'm just concerned about privacy and I would love if someone explained how this would work. Thank you.  :P

If you pay someone with paypal they get your address automatically.

I got my first CaM set today; the werewolf/dragon! I'm still not 100% sure I like the dragon, but I do really like the werewolf.

I didn't like her stock outfit much or the wig that came with the set, so I put the new Spectra fashion pack and a vampire CaM wig on her. What do you guys think?

I almost came home today with either Polterghoul, and/or Wonder Wolf, Scaris Rochelle, or even  PD Spectra with her fashion pack, but then I put them back because I put myself on probation, and not only that, I think I caught myself almost falling off my collecting path and made me think to myself what I originally had planned on doing with collecting MH. >,<; Mostly go for Signature/First release dolls and rarely go for ones that I REALLY Like. Iono, maybe now that I'm "caught up" with releases, I'm having some kind of withdrawal thing going on and just need to buy something to fill the void.

Kinda scary that happened. Sorry for the vent. >,<

The black and purple hair looks great on her, and the dress suits her so nicely too. Lovely.

Can kanekalon-haired dolls (later Ghoulias, Spectras, etc) just be boil straightened like other saran dolls? I remember reading that someone tried to boil straighten Spectra's hair and it basically became an untameable fuzzball.

I can't speak for MH specifically, as I don't have any with kanekelon hair, but I have several Barbies that I think have it (it's the really light, fluffy type of hair, right?) and have used boiling water on them with no problem/damage at all. And that's with the water at a rolling boil.

Seems a lot of Targets are resetting with a good deal of MH product, and for once mine is among them. I saw a large amount of deluxe Scaris alongside several Power Ghouls , Dance Class, and Ghouls Alive last time I checked. They even had the new single fashion packs. Makes me feel more optimistic about finding the next wave of Power Ghouls when they finally hit.

My "local" (almost an hour away) Toys R' Us was a different story though. They must still be resetting, because they had soooo many clearance items and soooo many empty spots scattered throughout the store. As for their MH section, I saw the remnants of a couple deluxe Scaris cases, though still no Jinafire, as well Dance Class and scattered random ones.

Then there was their Ghouls Alive selection...wow. Those things will be shelfwarming come December, as they had nearly 30 of them. Row after row crammed into one shelf, with more sloppily arranged on an open shelf nearby. I can't imagine them selling through all of those at full price, especially since there's only three actual dolls in the line. They'll definitely be on clearance by the Fall. The only thing that rivaled their numbers was the Werecat Sisters pack. There must have been around 20 of those. Ideally they will eventually hit clearance too, then I may pick one up.

They also had the deluxe fashion packs, which was nice since I was able to grab Operetta's and complete the set. What surprised me the most though was the amount of playsets they had. There was Cleo, Frankie, and Draculaura's vanities, Draculaura's bath, both Scaris sets, the usual high school, and they even had the Hydration Station. May have to return for that after the next paycheck, makes a nice display piece for almost any line.

A plea from me:)  If any of you kind folk see little ol' Deuce around your parts, will you kindly snag him for me?  Or for anyone around here really:)  I'm not the first to ask to for help, and I'm sure I won't be the last!  I will pay instantly, and I have a good trade count here:)  I also plan to buy him for others around here, if I ever see the green headed man!

I only ask because every time I go out to look for him, I end up spending WAY too much on other stuff I shouldn't be buying.  I can't help myself!  I think I'm addicted to shopping :blush:  I HAVE to go out to find him, but then I come across stuff I'm afraid that if I don't buy now, I'll never see again.  I can't afford to buy everything in one month!  At this rate I'll be caught up (I'm a completionist) with everything really soon.  I meant to buy over time this round.  Stupid Deuce -_-  Stupid Mattel -_-

My Wal*Mart had put out a case of Basic Scaris, but I think it was the case with no Deuce.

There are two case assortments:
1.) Has 2x Lala; 2x Abbey; 1x Ghoulia; and 1x Deuce
2.) Has 2x Lala; 2x Abbey; 2x Ghoulia

I know these weren't here a few days ago, and there were 2 Lalas, 2 Ghoulias, and 1 Abbey. So, not to panic anyone, but it appears as though the new assortments are already shipping out. [????]

So on Youtube, that Monster High Expert guy claimed he had gotten a Catrine DeMew at his Walmart. The "review" video is about 6 minutes long and I only skimmed it, but it doesn't seem he ever shows us the doll in box, only the back(ish) of the box.

All he got in the comments were congratulations and such so I'm guessing he either shows the doll at some point (not gonna watch the entire video to see if he flashes her) or people just read the video title and are blindly congratulating him. Anyway, not accusing him of lying about finding her but he seems to be the veeeery first finder since listings of in-hand dolls aren't even up on eBay yet. Anyone find her at their local Walmart?

CAMs don't seem to sell well in my area. When Target or Walmart get low on MH, the majority of the leftovers are CAMs. The sale might be specific to my local Walmart but it's somewhat rare that they do that.

Same here. We'll have completely bare shelves and then like 10 packs of CAM's of all sorts.

I have hit every walmart in the area and I have all my friends on FB looking, so one way or another you will get a deuce!!

The glue seeping hair feels sticky at the roots and also looks clumpy. I've read on these forums that people have had success tackling the glue problem by giving the dolls' hair a hardy rinse with Goo Gone.

I went all over and asked around at stores that had the single packs and the stock people have said they haven't seen a male model ever. :( I wonder if it's because I live in the boonies that the stores out near me for x amount of miles get the males removed from the packs to go to a more populated area? :( I would really love to snag a few Deuces one for myself and one for my neighbors daughter who traded me some clothes for some custom clothes :)

*ponders* I Highly DOUBT that I would have the opportunity for this, since I have never seen Deuce in stores.. I got lucky and snagged him from Amazon and he arrived looking perfect..

But..

Would I be a bad person if I did see him in a store and bought him and tossed him on ebay at the high price range in order to make money to use for my carpal tunnel surgery? I am already liquidating my custom supplies and am shifting those to ebay soon, and I have started eying my doll collection to see which ones I might sell off also without hurting.. But I know people hate scalpers so much. Would I be the target of such hate if I did that? I just really need money before I can plan the surgery.

I had a dream that I bought a case of the scaris basic dolls and that when it arrived it was a big box literally stuffed with 20+ deuce dolls... I started handing them out to everyone that wanted one and apparently elbowed my husband and he woke me up... Good dream... Sad ending... Lol

Go for it, Maniah :) That's sweet of you to ask about it. Carpel tunnel is not awesome, good luck with the surgery.

Is there a list of people here who are looking for Scaris Deuce? I have him, but a friend snagged him for me a while back. I've never seen him in my usual stores.

I haven't seen Deuce in any of the stores near me. I snagged him off Amazon but it wasn't easy. I do occassionally check and see if he pops up again. I hope I don't have to do the same thing when Heath is released (but I probably would if I can't find him in stores)!

*ponders* I Highly DOUBT that I would have the opportunity for this, since I have never seen Deuce in stores.. I got lucky and snagged him from Amazon and he arrived looking perfect..

But..

Would I be a bad person if I did see him in a store and bought him and tossed him on ebay at the high price range in order to make money to use for my carpal tunnel surgery? I am already liquidating my custom supplies and am shifting those to ebay soon, and I have started eying my doll collection to see which ones I might sell off also without hurting.. But I know people hate scalpers so much. Would I be the target of such hate if I did that? I just really need money before I can plan the surgery.
I wouldn't hold it against you, paying off a surgery is a top priority (and hella money) especially since you're making lots of sacrifices too. I hope you're able to make enough money for surgery. :hug:

I'll try again today to search for Deuce when I'm out of class today.

I'm guessing that is part of the problem because he isn't in every basic Scaris assortment. (I don't remember the specifics but it was mentioned a few pages back).

Since it is my day off, I will be going Deuce hunting today for all of you. I know a few people mentioned they would even pay for gas, so I will go out of my normal zone to scout him out. I hope I can find at least one. I hate seeing how frustrated everyone is.

I wouldn't even say that you'd 'scalp' doing it - At least not in the way most of us here understand it (i.e. buying carts of dolls like that BlackFriday-Guy.)

You just try making the best profit from the sacrifice of selling your dolls to pay important bills! ..that's different. At least for me it is. :>
But I can totally understand where you're coming from.. this community has been so nice to me on countless occasions, like selling me rare SDCC items for retail and such, that I'd feel a bit weird if I had an item a lot of people here want in hands and still go and sell it on ebay where it goes for much much more than its original value. :7

Still, I think given your special situation, you're not after the profit to buy some more toys, but to pay for something REALLY important that is above all this business.
So I say go for it and please don't feel bad about it. :heart:
& good luck with your surgery! :hug:

Thank you all so much for the kind words! You really helped relieve some of my worries.

I just want it done sooner rather than later, and if I can time it with my original vacation planned for May, then that would be ideal. Here's hoping!

I don't recall seeing anyone who has picked him up from a target... I got mine from justice and Walmart... Currently I am in the market to get my mother a *deboxed* dotd deuce...

I don't know if Target will carry them, but I have seen them at TRU for 11.99 each pack. Amazon has them for a $1 more so if you don't want to drive forever looking for them, it might be the way to go! (I found them way on opposite side of town so I am considering ordering the other two heee)

My target had tons of open space for the roller maze and basic scaris including the tags but no items.  They did have DDG Lagoona, and a couple Power Ghouls.  My boyfriend grabbed me a Wonder Wolf when he was out since I've been at war with my lymphatic system.

Question about Amazon:  The last time Deuce was "in stock" I just missed him.  Then, his screen said he'd be available again on the 16th.  How accurate is that?  Does that mean they'll get more in and sell him that day, or that the orders they took will be shipped on the 16th?  *not used to buying out of stock stuff on Amazon*

Maniah: Don't let anybody tell you that selling things on eBay at a competitive price is wrong. ;) As everybody else has said, I think that the dreaded "scalpers" are folks who repeatedly clear out the shelves entirely or take advantage of somebody else's kindness. We've all got bills to pay, and it's hard to make ends meet.

When Amazon restocks MH dolls, they are sold at shelf price-- Basics like Deuce are usually around $15.

Ok, at the moment I sort of feel like Homer Simpson, who set his milk on fire while trying to make a bowl of cereal, but I tried to boil straighten signature Spectra's hair today (she was sort of bait-ish) and her hair melted into this fuzzy mess. I know I must have done something wrong as everyone seems to straighten her kanekalon hair with boiling water with no problems, but here is what I did: I washed her hair with human hair conditioner/warm water and while it was still wet, I poured the boiling water on it.

Her hair instantly clumped together where the water hit it and looked like it had melted and soon turned all... springy/coily. It has tight little waves in it now and I can tell that once it dries, it's going to poof out something fierce. Should I have poured boiling water on her hair dry? Was the water just too hot?

I have no problems with boil straightening saran hair but this was my first time on kanekalon... and it did indeed make me hesitant to ever try it again, at least until I figure out exactly where I went wrong.

Maybe it was the fact that I poured instead of dipped her hair in the pot, like Chi said?

Post by: justkitter on January 14, 2013, 04:39:26 PM
I think I've read that kanekalon has a lower tolerance for heat, so you would have wanted to use a lower temp. of water on her:(  I'm so sorry, Rococo:(

I'm pretty sure the method used to get the water into/onto the hair doesn't matter.  I pour water onto my dolls, and I've straightened Spectra's hair successfully.  I just think the water was too hot.

If you try again, pull the water off the stove when bubbles start to appear on the bottom of the pot and JUST start to rise.  I'm not sure if it will fix any damage already done though :huh:

hehe yeah maybe the boiling water was a touch too hot for her hair. I specifically used that Spectra because she's the most baity of the the kanekalon dolls I own so I knew I wouldn't be too gutted if something went wrong. I don't think her hair's salvageable anymore so some time in the future, I will probably get her re-rooted. c:

I'm not too worried about trying to get her back into her original shape so I'd probably just go with a shade of blue for her hair. xD I saw someone's reroot of Spectra with a sort of turquoise color done up in tight waves and I thought she looked beautiful.

DH has gotten on my last nerve with their current trend of puny hanks and I am running out of purple and i'm only about 65% done with my current project (in yester times it'd take about a quarter of an rd hank to thatch...there is definately not enough purple left for thatching -_-), and given their recent turn around times...it'd be a week + before I even get the new hank of violet from them and restoredoll isn't really an option at the moment x_x

I think I've read that kanekalon has a lower tolerance for heat, so you would have wanted to use a lower temp. of water on her:(  I'm so sorry, Rococo:(

I'm pretty sure the method used to get the water into/onto the hair doesn't matter.  I pour water onto my dolls, and I've straightened Spectra's hair successfully.  I just think the water was too hot.

If you try again, pull the water off the stove when bubbles start to appear on the bottom of the pot and JUST start to rise.  I'm not sure if it will fix any damage already done though :huh:

hehe yeah maybe the boiling water was a touch too hot for her hair. I specifically used that Spectra because she's the most baity of the the kanekalon dolls I own so I knew I wouldn't be too gutted if something went wrong. I don't think her hair's salvageable anymore so some time in the future, I will probably get her re-rooted. c:

Allways wet the hair first and dont use just boiled water on kanekalon, let the water cool stightly.
You could just use hot tap water, thats what I do now after experimenting.

Anyone know where to pick up the Tote Case that holds 12 dolls + Stands? I see it on Amazon but I think it's a little over priced. Or does anyone have one I can see inside too before I do drop that much money on it? Want it to store stuff in that I have (future sewing projects etc).

After looking at that Etsy listing for blue haired Spectra, I am left with a question. I hope I don't offend anyone by asking this, but I am only curious.

The listing stated that "Please note that even though there is a smoker in my household, the doll was kept in a room that the smoker does not have access to."

Now, do smokers really believe that this makes any difference at all in how smoke smell affects things?

I have bought from people here and on Ebay who give fair warning that an item comes from a smoking home. Some of them even put exactly that sort of disclaimer on the listing. I'm ok with that when I am alerted to it.

But sometimes I buy an item and it makes no mention of cigarette smoke, and it arrives reeking of smoke. I politely told the seller about it and suggested they could add a warning, and that person basically told me, "Oh. I keep my stuff in a separate room so the cigarette smoke doesn't get to it."

>.> That room has air. Your house has air. The air in your house moves around. Smoke goes under doors, through cracks, into walls, into the air system. Shutting a door really doesn't affect how smoky a toy gets at all.

Heck, I bought a monster high sized lounge recently from a house that has a wood burning stove. It had a very very faint smoke smell even.

So yeah.. Thats what I am curious about. For listings with disclaimers like those, why not say "comes from a smoking household"? Do they really think that keeping the toys in a different room protects them from the smoke?
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 13
Post by: PonySeeker128 on January 15, 2013, 05:23:32 AM
I *think* what they are trying to say is that their stuff is kept away from the person (people) smoking so in other words people aren't sitting there sucking down smokes right next to the item that's being sold. It is true that smoke does set into stuff very easily but there's a difference between something that has been sitting directly next to smoke vs something that's in another room where smoking doesn't happen. The smoke smell is MUCH stronger. I think they are prety much saying "the item has been in a household of smokers but not directly in an area that they smoke, so thought the item may not reek of smoke there may be a faint smoke smell on it." My guess is that nobody is denying the possibility of a smoke smell but rather stating that their item will probably have a faint scent rather then extremely strong. Hard to know for sure but that's just my guess. Anyone who lives in a smoking household or has been a smoker themselves can probably tell you the difference between an area where people smoke vs having a closed room where nobody smokes and the difference it has leaving a scent on an item.

I should add that I did have a friend who smoked exclusively in their room and kept the door closed at all times and the rest of the apartment didn't have the smell of smoke (really strongly) throughout it. Now of course when you don't personally smoke or are around smoke a lot you pick up on that smell much easier. But, just saying, there is a difference between a room where a smoker exclusively smokes in vs the room that is kept closed.

Now, back on topic..  how does everyone keep their clothing and accessories organized?
I have mine all in baggies in a bin but am debating seperating the clothing by characters..

My dad smokes a lot in his room, but you can't smell it anywhere else. To be honest, if I were selling something, I would just say it came from a smoke-free home... If it doesn't smell like smoke, why bother bringing up the smoker?
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 13
Post by: Maniah on January 15, 2013, 06:38:11 AM
My point was that the items do smell like smoke. Heavy smoke. The people in the home are used to it but to a non smoker, it smells just as bad as if it had been sitting next to the smoker.

It makes sense though as was pointed out that the smokers  can smell the difference between rooms. I hadn't considered that to them, the smoke smell is so normal that it is easily dismissed, and so a separate room might actually not smell like smoke to them, when to a non smoker it smells heavy of smoke.

Thanks for providing the brain food on this topic for me :) I'm not a smoker, so I always had found it confusing since to me there was no difference.

I smoked for a little over 5 years and when I was smoking, I haven't for almost 2 years now, you can't tell how bad a smoke smell is on something because you're used to that smell. Now that I haven't been smoking I smell even the smallest trace of it instantly. To a smoker, or someone who lives with a smoker it can be hard to pick up on a light smoke smell. At least, that's just what I've noticed from being a smoker and becoming a non-smoker

I have to agree with Maniah if someone in your house is smoking everything is going to have at least a faint smell of smoke.  If your in that situation you might not smell it because your used to it. 

Back on topic-I'm giving it another try tonight, so hopefully I find Deuce!!

^This. My dad smoked for years and I had become so accustomed to the smell that I really was unaware of the odor until my allergy to it developed. Now even faintest scent of smoke sets off my nose and it is hard for me to ignore. When you're in the thick of it it's just so hard to notice but once you're away even for short amount of time the smell of smoke is just noticeable.

To be on topic, I want a sig Clawdeen so bad! It's killing me guys. I mentally kick myself for all the times I passed her by. :/

Another issue, re: smoking/smokers that I've encountered is: Even if an item only has trace amounts of smoke, when you put it in a bubble mailer or box to be shipped, it seems to intensify the smell. It's disgusting. And yes, if you allow smoking in the house, the entire house will smell. That's why my BFF's mom smokes in the garage.

I just listed all of my dolls for sale in my sales thread...... but I live in a smoking house so I don't know if anyone wants them now.....

I put a disclaimer identical to the one Maniah questioned in my thread. To me my dolls do not smell like smoke. They are stored away from the smoking area of my house. I've sold tons of things to people on here before, without saying that people smoked in my house, and I never had any complain of any smell. I decided to put in the warning just in case someone has an allergy and is super, SUPER sensitive to it. I've lived around smokers my entire life, so I may not be able to pick pick up the smell like someone that has not.

I didn't think I was doing anything wrong. I thought I was being helpful and kind..... I'm sorry.  :(

Personally, I wouldn't mind buying them if they've been in a seperate room. I can tell the difference in smell between something that's been in the same area where smoking has been vs being in a room where smoking doesn't happen. I think you mentioning it is a good idea and a very kind thing to do regardless of if anyones mentioned any smell before. I personally always worry about allergens with people and smoke is a big sensitivity to a lot of people. Along the lines of your dolls for sale, are they all nude?

Our dad smokes in the living room or his room, but most of my stuff is in my room and the room to my door is also closed practically always but I guess the smoke would seep through the sides of the door. >,>; If I ever start to sell, I'll probably just label my stuff as from a house with smoke, since it can spread. (Even though they still have that new doll smell when I take them out to look at. :P)

Just the things that come with them that aren't physically attached to the dolls. They still have bracelets, necklaces, shoes, and earrings. Some of the Ghoulias are missing their glasses, and one Operetta is missing her headpiece. Rollermaze dolls don't come with their helmets.

I actually still have the accesories, but there's a million of them, and they're all mixed together.  :lookround:

Don't feel bad. People don't post if they spray perfume near an item which people can be allergic to. If an item is used and out in the open it's not going to smell normal no matter what. All mine sit on my desk and I burn candles, use perfume, use incense (a musky scented one or a licorice one), and I have had no complaints yet. I have dogs around too they don't touch the dolls. I don't put them on a surface where they can get to. I feel like if people are worried that much about how something smells (obviously if it reeks that's a different story), but slight smells are going to happen no matter what. We all don't live in a field of roses and even then it would probably smell like dirt and roses ;)

Dxgirly, posting that warning is the kind thing to do. I hope I didn't come across as implying that it was wrong to do so or anything. I had innocently wondered about it is all.

If you are worried, you could always put the dolls in a Tupperware container or plastic bag with an open box of baking soda. That's what I do with any dolls I buy from smokers if I don't want to bathe them. It helps after some time.

You have alerted people though so you have done your part :)

Oh good. I was just worried people were upset with me. Ironically enough, I hate the smell of smoke too, and I wouldn't like it if I got something with a heavy smell of smoke. I just don't know if there's a light smell of it on all of my things, and I'm just accustomed to the smell. I hate living with smokers. ugh.

@Melissa - will be PM'ing you in a moment

re:smoking - I've been putting a smoking and pet disclaimer in my sells for years. I've lived around smokers all my life so I honestly have no idea how bad my dolls smell of smoke because unless someone blows smoke in my face, I don't even notice the smell anymore. It doesn't matter if I keep them in my room away from the person who smokes, we have central a/c so the smell does go all over anyway. Recently one of the smokers in my house quit, but I'm sure the damage is done. Same goes for pets. Doesn't matter. You touch your pets, you touch your dolls sometimes without thinking. Hair and dander gets transferred. Pretty much if it's in your house it's affecting your things

re: Smoking

I have pretty severe allergies and asthma. Occasionally, I have an asthma attack because I get a whiff of the downstairs neighbor's smoke at my apartment complex. When I was a kid, my parents smoked outside, but even the scent of it on them would trigger a severe attack, so I really appreciate seeing a mention in any listing I'm considering if it's anywhere in the household at all.

Dxgirly - Don't fret over it too much. Putting up the warning is the polite thing to do. There will ALWAYS be people who are willing to buy from smokers, just like there will be people who aren't willing. You won't loose out on money just because you put the warning up. And this way, if someone buys from you and REALLY doesn't like the smell, they can't complain because you have the warning.

PandaBerryInSpace - Honestly, coming from someone who is HIGHLY allergic, while your dolls may be a whole floor from your dad's room, they still might have enough cigarette smoke to set off someone with allergies. I have problems just walking past smokers (which I have to at work all the time since my coworkers will glom up outside after hours and smoke). I am willing to buy from someone who has the warning in their sales because over the years of having grandparents who smoke and send me stuff I've learned how to air things out, but some people either don't know, or that doesn't help enough. I don't know... If I was in your kind of situation I'd want to make sure I wouldn't get negative feedback for something as stupid as a faint smell.

Now, back on topic.... Oh man I can't wait for Catrine to get here! She's so pretty! I also wonder when TRU will get HHM Bloodgood.

I'll mention the smoke from now on, then. He's been smoking around me my whole life, and he has absolutely no intentions on ever quitting, so I'm probably so used to it, it doesn't even register with me.  When I'm in his room, the smell of smoke is VERY strong (he never leaves his room, see)... It's to the point where I can tell when the cat has been in there. XD But, anyway, I guess it didn't occur to me that the smell lingers even when it's not at its strongest, LOL.

Anyway, about Catrine... I'm still on the fence about her. I don't like her that much, but I want to have one of every canon character, so, for that reason, I want to get her... Ugh. I guess I'll just have to wait until I can find one for a reasonable price.

I feel the same way but I still go in lol.  They are having a storewide 40% off even right now though so they come down to regular price.  I have not seen Deuce at all in my city since they first showed up at Justice.  They had 3 of them and I bought all of them.  One for me, one for a  trade and I one either to keep or trade.  I ended up having to take one back though because he had flaws.  The basic Scaris has so far only come there and Kmart even though Target now has spots for the line but no dolls.  I never saw Deuce at Kmart.

I'll be on the lookout for Catrine as well. There are two Walmarts in my area, and I've yet to really see scampers. The biggest issue here is the lack of restocking since the dolls are hardly ever bought except at holidays.

Ha I sometimes feel bad in general shopping around kid items. Usually I go early in the morning before work, but on my last trip when I got Scaris Clawdeen I ran into another teacher. No time is safe time for my shopping.

Should I bug my husband to stop at walmart while we are out or not? He always gets so crabby when I ask him to stop places so I can hunt. Not that I even ask him to come in the store with me..

If I were you, I would ask him. I only say that because my boyfriend is the same exact way but if I bug him enough, he will give in. Though I usually point out that we're passing it anyway so we might as well go or that there will be Nerf stuff for him to look at ^.^

No Catrines or Deuces at Walmart today, but they did have the Scaris car and cafe (1 of each), and Scaris Abbey, Scaris Draculaura, and Scaris Frankie so clearly they got basic and deluxe Scaris shipments recently. (There were no Scaris this weekend)

Looked up Catrine's UPC on the telzon at work. We have 0 on hand, 0 in the warehouse, and 0 in transit. Boooo. But she does have a shelf cap of 5, so we're definitely carrying her. I'm going to keep checking every day to see when she hits our warehouse.

Its official.. hubby hates walmart lol. He doesn't even like going into the parking lot. I'm not a big fan of the walmarts near us either since they're just kind of run down but he doesn't even like driving me there so I can run in. Guess my hunt for Catrine is going to be done on the phone then I'm going to be the one driving over there myself lol. I stopped by Target.. they had nothing I was after. Debated getting PG Clawdeen just so I can have all of the dolls in that line when they're released (and cause her box is awesome and I want to display all of their boxes) but I decided against it because I'm trying to save money. She's not going anywhere right away anyhow judging by the 6 or so of her on the shelf and no Spectras.

I do kind of want RM Clawdeen.. and RM Abbey though.. I may cave on those if I find them.

I saw RM Clawdeen at Walmart. I didn't realize that she was new. Her eyebrows are suuuuuper light! They are like one shade darker than her skin!

Also would it be terrible of me to buy Scaris Draculaura just to customize her? She has the perfect skintone for a custom I want to do... But I feel guilty buying a doll that someone might actually want. :(

I'm thinking she would get a case to herself, since S1600 Cupid got her own case when Walmart had her in. It would be much easier to find/see Catrine if she had her own case, in comparison to being in a normal Scaris assortment.  ;_;

I think chances are she'll get a box all to herself. Of course, CA Cupid having a box all to herself didnt help me in acquiring her...

I'm gonna grab them because I have no idea when I'll see ones with decent make up again. Seeing the 7 SO Lagoonas with bad make up at my Meijer was very discouraging. D:

With only one per case and that's if the store even orders the right case....and if they order what every 2 weeks (Maybe more if lucky) then man....there's too many people where I live to get lucky and grab him!

The case has 1xDraculaura, 1xAbbey, 1xGhoulia and 1xDeuce. I haven't seen Ghoulia or Deuce so...I'm happy as long as they pull through. 

Now mind you, this does not mean I'm not looking for him all the time when I can....for me and others! :silly:

Definitely think it over. I slept on it but like you said, could probably sell the ones you don't want from the case. And if I found Deuce, I would buy him and probably be frozen in spending for a while too! Which will happen if the case arrives correctly heee.

So excited for the first few photos to pop up on Flickr as soon as someone finds her.

I've been searching for Deuce for a while now and this is starting to seem like a good idea. I have 2 friends and my parents looking for me and no one has seen him. My local Justice said they are getting trucks in tomorrow and Friday. Maybe I will give it one more week and see if he pops up before I do a preorder. Doing the math they come out a little bit more than ordering them in stores but I've probably spent more than that in gas trying to find him.  :P

My walmart (where I work) had the DC dolls including Robecca, Scaris delux and thin box variety, Scaris Cafe, scooter, Coffin bean and PD dolls and some RM dolls. If I had money I would have bought something, but I didn't :( I will definitely be eyeballing more often to see if Catrine pops up. I am also friends with the toy mod person and could ask her to let me know when Catrine arrives. We aren't allowed to buy on the cloth, but I can stuff one under my register until I am on break.

Oh and I preordered Scaris case from BBTS also a few weeks back. Said it wouldn't be ready until February, but that's fine. I do hope they are better then EE, I preordered from them before Venus was released and they still haven't "gotten then in". WHich I am thankful for since I have her now, thanks to a member here. But I'd hate to sit there and wait for a release in BBTS and years later it arrives...

Haha, basically! I don't even really want to know how much time/gas I spent already just searching heeee.  :blush:

Oh and I preordered Scaris case from BBTS also a few weeks back. Said it wouldn't be ready until February, but that's fine. I do hope they are better then EE, I preordered from them before Venus was released and they still haven't "gotten then in". WHich I am thankful for since I have her now, thanks to a member here. But I'd hate to sit there and wait for a release in BBTS and years later it arrives...

Yikes!  Well I will post here if I hear from them and hopefully we will have good similar results on shipping those Deuce cases in February. They do good with the pony releases and my BF ordered a case from them, got it in on time so here's to hoping!

I hopefully have a trade going for Scaris Deuce here in the arena but if it falls through I'm going to sell a few MH dolls and use the funds to pay the scary ebay prices.  It's the only way to get him otherwise, my area in So Cal is heavily worked by scalpers.

Can't wait to see the swimsuit girls!  I'm not sure I need them but I love Lagoona!

Ohmigosh Frankie Stein thank you so much for sharing! It just had to be my three favourite ghouls. I'm going to have to pick up all three for sure. However I've limited myself to only one doll per character. I'm thinking I might trade out my DDG Lagoona for Swimline Lagoona as I just adooore her! So if anyone is interested in buying nude dolls in the future give me a shout!

After seeing THIS Venus's face all I can say is....****...

From the prototype face, it looked like she was getting a light pink, but this is a crimson/bloody red! >,<; If I knew it was gonna be that color I would've waited FOR SURE To bait, but now I'm still gonna get this one! Just to have. :P

Now if only we could see her whole face-up without being hidden behind those shades. >,<;

I am going to keep making pteradactyl noises until I get Catrine, omg.

Also, I really hope BBTS delivers on Scaris cases. I have seen far too many people get screwed with pre-orders by them. That they leave them up endlessly, or put up pre-orders for stuff they don't actually know they're going to get...

Swim dolls.. eh. Still want the outfits though >______>;

And totally unrelated, I went to a 'welcome' group for me and my fiance's new-ish church last night. And the couple that was hosting it, their eldest daughter had a Scaris Frankie in the deluxe fashion pack dress and Robecca's boots. It looked rather nice, lmao. I actually surprised the mother when I said I loved MH (like, not in a bad way more in a "Really? That is awesome" way).

What does shelf cap mean O_o???

It might me the shelf capacity for this particular item?
That's what I'm assuming too: only 5 can only be on the shelf until restocking is needed.

The shelf cap just means how many they will have on the shelf. They don't have any on order or on hand. I wouldn't get to excited by that.

I was going to buy a Venus and a PD Cleo, but the make up is just terrible. I shouldn't be so picky, but when you got sticky faces and the make up is all scratched up, it's not appealing! I saw a great Venus except there was paint missing from parts of her eyelashes. :cry:

Our Walmart is once again empty.  Target is stuffed with PD dolls, mainly Draculaura and a few deluxe Scaris, Scary Tales, Ghouls Alive and DDG mixed in.  They did get more Dance Class dolls in.  There were 3 Howleens.  Kmart still has a few of the basic Scaris minus Deuce, some DDGs and Venus and Robecca and one lonely Abbey have become shelf warmers.  I have been tempted to get another Robecca for when I get the FP but I don't want to spend on it.  Even Venus tempts me but her shaved head just drives me nuts.

I hope BBTS comes through too. I went ahead and per-ordered a case with Deuce in it myself. I didn't want to worry about missing him and having to pay a crazy price for just him instead of a slightly inflated one for each of the four basic Scaris dolls. I don't have any of them yet, either, so that helped - no duplicates. Now I'll just be nervous about the order being fulfilled, but theoretically less so than before. I'll still keep an eye out for him on the shelf of course.

That's super cute about the little girl! I love seeing children who like MH as well, it reminds me that the line doesn't just appeal to people my age. :P

Unless ofcourse they come back to MH with us  ^.^
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 13
Post by: LuvlyMelody on January 17, 2013, 02:08:42 AM
I personally, think of this release as their Sig release. They're wearing outfits that look like it's the outfit they'll always be in, and it has their bio on the box and they come with a journal.

What I'm guessing, but may be plausible is they'll re-release these 2-3 again, but in their own designed Signature Box. Kinda like they did with Cupid. My only fear is they'll change something about the doll, like hair style or rooting like they did with Cupid, compared to the S1600 Cupid.

I know that there were still Killer Style dolls (Clawdeen and Operetta) at Kohls before Christmas but I am pretty sure when they had their clearance event they were all gone.  $15 for a full stocked killer style Draculaura or Frankie seems like a good deal.  I may have to contact you BowTie.

It kind of bothers me that they have Catrine priced at $20 like the deluxe dolls but she only has the hand bag.  I guess Walmart's exclusives are usually a couple dollars more than the regular lines but since they are aren't much different, I think it's just a little unfair.  Except when I bought Cupid she was about $4 cheaper than the regular S1600 dolls (she did have way fewer items though).  However, I am very excited for her; she is so pretty!  She is slated to come out in early February yes?  Our Walmart is so bare of MH and I haven't seen any new tags for her.  They are the slowest toy stockers around here.  I can't wait to check out TRU in our state capital this Friday just for a change of scenery.

Catrine /whines. For her price, think of it this way she should still come with a stand. Yeah that sucks, but at least there's that! GRs Abbey was the same price as the other GRs dolls, at least at my Walmart and shared the same tag with them for a bit (though that is my Walmart being lazy).

Also, I saw Killer Style Frankie/Lala at the Books-a-Million at my mall in December, quite a few. I wish I had a car to go pic them up for people. /sob.

You know, that seems so plausible if she's a natural blonde. I just assume most of the girls either do their eyebrows funky colors like that, or they dye their hair in some capacity. Because I am looking at my Abbey and her eyebrows not matching her hair for the most part is killing me. (So is this space bar, you should have seen some of the typos I made doing this post pffft)

But I remember reading an article about how matching/non-matching eyebrows are one of the cultural beauty-differences between the US and EU. LOL.
In the US you always dye 'em the same colour as your hair, while in EU you generally leave them be. So maybe I'm just used to seeing mismatched hair-/eyebrow colours. xD

But I remember reading an article about how matching/non-matching eyebrows are one of the cultural beauty-differences between the US and EU. LOL.
In the US you always dye 'em the same colour as your hair, while in EU you generally leave them be. So maybe I'm just used to seeing mismatched hair-/eyebrow colours. xD

Really? i never dye my eyebrows to match my hair....Blond eyebrows, have had: red, black, blond, brown & pink hair (at some point or another) i didnt know that most people in the US dyed their eyebrows... maybe i'm just way to oblivious to fashion lol

Yeah I don't dye my eyebrows. But that's because it is very much ill advised to do so (says so right on the boxes of dye!). However, my fiance's mother does it, so I guess it's not so far from the truth.

Hmmm...my eyebrows only started matching my hair more once I started dying my hair...now that I've had to start going lighter again (hello lightening effects of white hair!) they are not matching again, lol.  I tend not to be bugged by non matching eyebrows as a result....  :)

I actually asked a hair stylist about this since the people in my family go grey pretty early. * le sigh * She told me it was actually illegal in some states which would make sense considering that if the chemicals get in your eyes one could potentially be blinded.

In other news my 1st wave Clawdeen is coming in the mail today and I am flippin' excited!   :biggrin:

I just remember reading it once in one of those fashion mags you find at the hairdresser. And now since that topic came up..:P

I try dying my eyebrows tbh., but I always use henna on my hair, so I use it on the eyebrows as well and hm.. they don't pick up the colour at all. I use a pencil however to make the colours a closer match to the hair.. and I'm european. LOL.

Congrats on finding Deuce, pickle! Looks like you got a good one. The one I got from the States had some eyebrow paint that had come off on his glasses, and his left eye is all funny (I think the machine was running out of white paint or something). I ended up switching his head with my sig Deuce's head. I've seen a bunch of others with problems, as well. It sucks that such a rare doll like Deuce would come plagued with so many QC issues. I'm just glad to have his articulated wrists ... and has anyone else noticed that he has the plastic hips? I think he's the first boy with them!

That Venus is so pretty!!! Super excited for her...

On the eyebrows/hair front, it's never bothered me. My hair naturally changes shade with how much I'm outside, and I have dark thick eyebrows so they never match. My mom dyes her eyebrows, but she dyes hers darker because they're naturally white blonde and just blend in with her face, while she leaves her hair natural. It's just never been something that bothers me. *shrug* Sometimes, though, dyed eyebrows will throw me off. Like, when I see someone with neon hair that has dyed their eyebrows to match. It sometimes looks weird.

eh.  I color my eyebrows whatever color my hair is, right now they're a bright neon red-orange, day before yesterday they were purple, but it doesn't bother me on the dolls.  The one face repaint I did, I turned Ghoulia's eyebrows blue though, lol.  Eyebrows aside, I'm just glad to see the myriad of haircolors these dolls have! I wish Clawdeen would have more releases like her Ghouls Rule where they ditch the brown!

That swim venus is nice, but I am a little disappointed. I had hoped she would have her hair done differently somehow, even if it was just shorter. And the makeup does look the same to me too.

In a way, this is good. :) I no longer feel like I need to buy her, since I technically already have her. I'm not fond enough of the bathing suits to chase after her, so this means more money in my wallet. Yay!

Hello MH people, I have a bit of an odd question for you. I'm very new to collecting and just picked up my second doll Sweet 1600 Clawd, and his hair is kind of 'crusty' feeling. Is it supposed to be like that? I really can't tell if it is because of the way the hair is styled or not :blush:
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 13
Post by: LuvlyMelody on January 17, 2013, 08:35:10 PM
If he is brand new, it may be his hair gel that keeps it that shape, that may be that crusty feeling is coming from. You can probably wash it, but be very careful, since hot water could wash away the flocking around his head.

I personally don't have S1600 Clawd, but that's what a lot of people have said in the past.
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 13
Post by: Saber-Toothed Crow on January 17, 2013, 09:01:38 PM
Thanks! I had a feeling it was intentional, but it just felt so nasty I thought I'd ask to make sure. I'll hold off giving him a wash for now to see if the crusty tacky feeling wears down a bit first. :)
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 13
Post by: pukunui on January 17, 2013, 09:22:39 PM
Yes, my Clawd's hair is like that too. A lot of the dolls with styled hair have got superglue-like gel in there to hold the style in place. It's possible to wash out, yes, but I'd reiterate the warning to be careful, as flocking and water do not go well together.
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 13
Post by: Zombelina on January 17, 2013, 09:49:32 PM

I stopped by Walmart and TRU today.  Both had gotten new shipments of Scaris dolls in but of course Deuce was gone.  The way the shelves were arranged in both stores with all the boxes sideways instead of facing out looked like the same person picked the shelves over in both stores.  But I'm probably just being paranoid.  Maybe.  Scalpers. >_<  They should've made him 2 to a box.

No, no no! Don't give up hope. I'm with you on that one! xD
After all.. they now have made a mold for him, why only use it once? ..also, Jackson first had a beach & then a Sig release.
And everyone gets a Sig release with pet and diary. Everyone.. EVERYONE! You hear me, Mattel?
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 13
Post by: Maniah on January 18, 2013, 05:17:20 AM
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Jackson, Clawd, and deuce have all been released twice right? That means the other guys are due their turns. Gil will come again :) it's only fair, right?

Correct! That's what gives me hope as well and keeps me from saving up for SS Gil. XD
Of course it will still be a mad race getting the re-release, considering how poorly they treat everyone but Clawd, but oh well. :D;

I think the only boy that had but one release was Holt. But he shares a mold with Jackson if I am not mistaken? So they probably thought that a doll in a 'normal' colour would sell better than a blue one.. yet did not have to trash the mold completely. :7

(still hope that Holt will see another release for everyone who wants him, tho!)

If you want her stock # in addition to her UPC, it's 550965813. I've only ever been able to use these when calling to inquire about dolls at Walmart, or looking up items in their online inventory checker. Having both can't hurt. :) Good luck!

I saw some tags for Catrine while out doing errands at my local Walmart last night that went up on the 10th. One was in an aisle, the other on an island end cap. I was there in time to also see a basic assortment of Scaris dolls get put away, though there was only two of the other three inside (Abbey, Lala, and Ghoulia), and no Deuce.

A heads up that apparently the old CAM torso packs went up for sale very briefly this morning through Mattel's shop. If you're registered on nowinstock.net, you can set up an alert to text your cell if they go back up again.

Hopefully this means they're actually restocking a new batch and weren't just pushing out a few they had kicking around.

lol I agree. No matter how cheap it gets, I couldn't justify bringing something so huge into my house, even if it folds up. I never even use my Clawdeen bedroom playset for anything other than storing MH clothes/wigs/etc. >_>

it's a great deal :( I'd totally get it for that in a heartbeat if I ever saw one. I need one since a lot of my pictures for the night class contests would be so much more 'real' with the school as a backdrop in some cases *sigh*

I know how you feel. Someone said they'd seen the Picture Day dolls at a Kmart here in Auckland, so I went looking and all I found was classroom Ghoulia. :(

The thing is, I don't even *want* the first wave of PD dolls. I just wanted to *see* them. Ah well.

$30? *Sighs* Stupid price markups... It takes so much fun out of doll hunting when you realize that you can ask someone from the US to pick up dolls for you and even with shipping costs they're cheaper. TRU will be even worse I imagine, since the deluxe Scaris dolls are $36.99 there and the DC dolls are $22.99.  :shakefist:

Maybe she has a tooth-guard, like in basketball? ;)

Quick question for the more knowledgeable MHers around here - is hyper-flexion of the knee joints a common problem, particularly for Robecca? I pulled her out of the box (finally splurged on her!!) and her knees are CRAY-CRAY!! :faint: I'm not sure if this is a common issue, or if I just got a goofy-kneed Robecca! The problem is that when you put her legs "straight," it's very easy to make them bend forward, so it looks like her knees are backward! Any idea?
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 13
Post by: LuvlyMelody on January 18, 2013, 07:01:50 PM
So far from what I'm aware of, Signature Robecca is the only doll with the super articulated/double jointed knee out of everything.
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 13
Post by: Aaryana on January 18, 2013, 07:03:15 PM
My Robecca does that too. I thought it was the norm for her because of her "gears".

Signature Robecca is the only doll that has knees like that, and it's intentional. I thought the same thing as you when I got mine back in July. XD

Post by: saply on January 18, 2013, 07:05:23 PM
I think just about all of the Signature Robeccas do that, but the Dance Class Robeccas don't appear to have the same issue (probably the difference in Indonesian and Chinese manufacturing). I think it's kind of neat hehe, it adds to her roboty charm :">
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 13
Post by: pukunui on January 18, 2013, 07:19:02 PM
I was told by a Mattel rep that sig Robecca's knees were done like that on purpose. He said he didn't know why they hadn't also done it with DC Robecca's knees, though.

I'm liking that swim Lala quite a bit, despite the lack of fangs. I may have to get her.

Thank you both for remembering me :)

Those wings seem priced very well, they just aren't really what I am looking for. I hate to be so picky about them, but I guess I figure I may as well be picky and spend money once and be happy with the product forever. I just want something that looks a little bit nicer. Those look the same as the wings they sell in the doll isle of Hobby Lobby for $5.

I'll find some eventually, I'm sure! Thank you again so much, it was very kind for you both to think of me :) I do appreciate it.

The general consenus I've read seems to be that it's likely a warehouse photo, like the images of Jinafire and Skelita that were leaked before their release.

I got the harpy off of Mattel's site, though, I do feel like I should warn everybody that the shipping is very pricey. My money would have went towards new dolls anyway, so I'm fine with it, but I know that not everyone is willing to spend $7.49 on standard shipping...

It won't work on smaller orders, but I thought I should throw it out there that Mattel is running a promotion on free shipping over $25 with the checkout code "SECRETSHIP."

Catrine looks SO LOVELY (I think she would make an awesome Unicorn, Zapper!), but I wish she had something on her legs. Not so much for modesty, which is meh, but just to have more clothing pieces/more going on with her outfit. I looove tights/leggings/thigh/knee-highs. I also wish the three new characters in Scaris had pets! :< Since I feel this is their signature release.

Catrine's a lot more "pretty" than the other Werecats, for lack of a better word, anyway. I like how subtle she is, and... She's an artist! Yaaayy!

I thought I had my Walmart's MH stocking figured out, but apparently not... They were picked over when I checked this week. Hopefully Catrine turns out to be at least somewhat abundant!

Zapper, I know how you feel... I'm a glutton for hype, I guess. I got Skelita and told myself that I was done with dolls until Catrine was released... But then I found Dance Class Howleen this weekend.

She was too adorable, just like everybody has been saying.

And now she is mine. (Bwahahaha)

Yeah, you will have to paint the body to match - Someone on here did it tho, and it looked amazing. I believe it was firecracker.
Personally, I bought a second Skelita to try that, since I gave the white body to the ghost CAM.
I will probably switch out the lower limbs as well tho, since I think those delicate fingers and toes would be a pain to paint.. :|

I found Poulter Ghoul and Wonder Wolf yesterday too.  I did not get Wonder Wolf though as the doll did nothing for me.  I would love to get the stock someday but her hair looked like a rat nest and the green just does not go with her brown hair color. 

I got Poulter Ghoul only because I am considering putting her in the new Spectra FP.  I don't know though if I can handle the "mask" on her face for that.  To reiterate my earlier question, do you guys think she will look good/ok in that FP or just hold out to get a sig or PD Spectra?

High definition Catrine. Yes, now I'm sure I have to have her :biggrin:
/whiiiine.

There better be another DC wave with that Rochelle. She is so cute, omg. However, I can't get feelings for InvisiBilly because I know Mattel will just pull a stunt like they did with the Hot Wheels of Wonder Woman's invisible jet, and we just get an empty box /sob.

So, the Polish Monster High Youtube channel is ahead of schedule with their webisodes. While I don't understand a word of it, some of these seem like they're going to be a lot of fun.

There's one up with a Dance Class theme posted, and not only does Rochelle have her own outfit, but she has a cute moment with Invisi Billy. I really hope they make him into a doll.  ^.^

There's another one that features Venus briefly dressed as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz in a play (and Cleo and Toralei as Munchkins). Possible new Scarily Ever After doll?

Rochelle's outfit was so pretty! She should be part of DC wave 2. I can't wait to watch those episodes in English. I think her and Invisibilly are cute together ^.^ Mattel needs to make him a doll.

I found Poulter Ghoul and Wonder Wolf yesterday too.  I did not get Wonder Wolf though as the doll did nothing for me.  I would love to get the stock someday but her hair looked like a rat nest and the green just does not go with her brown hair color. 

I thought it looked like a rats nest too, and I had resolved myself to recurling her hair, but when I got it out of the box.. WOW. It was SOOOOOO Soft! And fluffy! It wasn't tangly at all! I did pull her hair back at her temples and secure it, like Abbey's hair style. That tamed it a LOT and reduced the green decently. And I LOVE her hair now. I'll have to post pictures when I get home from work. Im just on my way out.

But yeah. Soft fluffy hair. Not a rats nest at all!

Eep! Didn't realize she was a Canadian find  :shocked: I was at a Walmart today on a cat food run, but there were only old CaM packs, no labels for anything else MH, let alone Catrine. The store was really just a disaster, though, as it's being renovated. I'll have to check out a different WM this week, and if I do get lucky enough to find her I'll try to pick up extras  ^.^ *crosses everything*

So I caved and bought two SO Lagoonas at Meijer. I had to suck it up and stop being so picky. Luckily the issues are just some minor eyelash issues so it's not like I'm getting one with huge noticeable flaws.

Now I officially have two of each Lagoona minus one DT. :D

How I'd love a Dance Class Rochelle! :heart: And InvisiBilly... I really hope the April Fools' joke is not all we get for him.
I think it would be pretty neat if InvisiBilly ended up being this year's April Fools' doll (as in, like an actual doll of him started to "Surprise!" show up on store shelves that day...and maybe a 1/6th variant of an legit "invisible" doll in the box). xD
Pretty sure we'd find out by now if there was going to be a legit doll of him was going to be made, but it would still be nice regardless. Even an April Fools' announcement showing an actual doll would be great. I really want a doll of him. <3

I'm still on the fence with Catrine. She is really pretty and I have a weakness of cats, but I'm not sure if I want her. I guess I'd have to see her in person. And I agree about the "gel" comment - her hair really didn't look "lightly" gelled to me. xD

This afternoon, still no Caterine showing up in stores. I did however come home with a cool 16 .oz plastic MH party cup thing from. :P

As for Invisibilly, I swear he's been out for a long time, since last year. The only reason people think he's never been released yet is because well...his box is invisible...Sure the shelves in several stores may look empty, but not many people know that they're just fully stocked with Invisibillys!! :haha: *Laughs at her stupid, corny joke while avoiding fakies being thrown at her*

Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 13
Post by: LuvlyMelody on January 20, 2013, 01:45:53 AM
I think I'll be stalking mine too. :P

OK I just noticed something while messing with Venus:
-When her head is looking straight forward, her head won't point down and there's a feeling at the back of her head that feels like something is pushing against it.
-When her head to turned to the left, she can look all the way down.
-When her head is turned to the right, same thing
-When her head is turned completely around, feels the same as facing forward, won't go down and pushing against feeling.

I think I've come to a conclusion with the not looking downward problem: Chop off a really long part of the head/neck anchor that's sticking out so much, because I think that long pole is what's preventing our dolls from looking down.

Does anyone have a picture of the inside of the head or a picture of the actual Head/Neck Anchor?

Has anyone tried tried chopping off that long part of the anchor?

If somehow this post is overlooked, I'll probably make a thread with this, in case anyone knows a thing about it.

Many of the dolls are like that and chopping off the barbed prong won't help (I tried it with my I <3 Fashion Frankie). The problem is the way the ring at the bottom is connected to the post in the neck. Some of them are too tight. Others have an issue with the post not being straight.

Alright, I'll take your word for it then since you've tried it. I just wish there was a way to experiment and see how it all works in their head with the post, ring and everything. Maybe like get a baity doll, then chop the head around the ears and move the head around, trying to understand how it works in there.

I also think the CAM ghost comes with a short, red haired wig

ETA: Bleh, Mini sulk/vent. Tried to take Venus's head off without heating it up, big mistake, I think I stretched the anchor too much cause it was turning white (the kinda white that plastic turns into when you know you bent/twisted it more than it's intentionally supposed to be) and now her head is super wobbly. >,<; First MH for me to open, the first one for me to damage and ruin. -_- From now on, I'm gonna take better care of any future ghouls I open. :cry:

I've stretched the anchor more than once myself, it sucks.  But it is semi-fixable.  I've used E6000 glue since it is flexible around the anchor to stiffen it up a little.  I think I've done this three times with really good results thus far.

Sorry to interrupt the Catrine talk, but just a note to fellow UKers - just found all the deluxe scaris dolls, including both Skelita and Jinafire, at my local sainsbury's (I'm in London), even though it has the tiniest toy section ever!

Used this to fix my Skelita's neck I was planning on removing the head on it but part of the neck broke off when I was trying to get the rubber band from out of one of the joints I guess I man handled the body too hard trying to get it off and snapped poor Skelitas head off and part of the neck fell on the floor so the head piece and post that goes up into the head just flopped right off. After a small struggle I found the piece of neck that broke off and posted about it. Mermaid suggested E6000 and I patched her up with my Skele cam's head on it though I did invest in a white duct tape too just to make sure. She turned out great so I recommend that E6000. Also found a broken umbrella at a thrift store I mended too with the E6000 and it's fine. Won't be able to remove the post from it but it works :) Thanks mermaid and trust me her advice is sound :D If you have problems finding it I got a packet of 4 tubes at walmart in the crafts area.

I saw that Catrine's YT review and wow, didnt expect our Canadian brethren to be getting her first! Lucky you guys.

She's really pretty but for some reason I never realized she had a painted on purple nose. Now that I look at old promo pics again, I can see it, but it really grew me for a loop when I saw her kitty nose in the review vid. Is she based on Toralei's mold like most of us believed or the werecat twins?

I've heard many people say it's Toralei's mold, but I'm going to say it's the Twins. I think it's the eyes throwing them off, since Catrine's painted up to have a more wide-eyed look like Toralei. Toralei has more angular ears, earring markers, and a sliced out notch in one ear, while Catrine's are more rounded like Purrsephone and Meowlody's.

She's being found already?! 

Although I think Catrine is beautiful, I'd like to see Mattel release more monster-looking dolls.  In my house, there are enough pretty Barbie and Disney Princess dolls.  What attracts me and my daughters to MH is the fact that they are not perfect looking girls.  MH dolls are pure fantasy.  Part of what makes these dolls so awesome is they take things that are scary to kids (like werewolves, ghosts and vampires) and make them more approachable.  They take away the fear and replace it with fun.  So let me ask you this: What's more frightening than spiders?!   

Please Mattel, release Wydonna.  We need more fabulous and truly monsterous ghouls.  We need to hear her back story and get to know her.  We need more dark skinned beauties to balance out the uber pale ghouls.  I need a reason to be less afraid of spiders (cause I'm terrified of them!).  We just need her!

I've stretched the anchor more than once myself, it sucks.  But it is semi-fixable.  I've used E6000 glue since it is flexible around the anchor to stiffen it up a little.  I think I've done this three times with really good results thus far.
Used this to fix my Skelita's neck I was planning on removing the head on it but part of the neck broke off when I was trying to get the rubber band from out of one of the joints I guess I man handled the body too hard trying to get it off and snapped poor Skelitas head off and part of the neck fell on the floor so the head piece and post that goes up into the head just flopped right off. After a small struggle I found the piece of neck that broke off and posted about it. Mermaid suggested E6000 and I patched her up with my Skele cam's head on it though I did invest in a white duct tape too just to make sure. She turned out great so I recommend that E6000.

Based on the colors, I'm going to guess kanekalon. Her coloring is very similar to Spectra, and she has kanekalon. I don't think any member has gotten her yet though, so we'll probably have to wait until someone other than a scalper or a tween has her to be sure.

I will do my best to take some pics but it does have a piece of white duct tape around the neck that may or may not come off due to the E6000 worse case I can draw a picture. If you are removing heads from a Skelita be VERY careful and make sure its heated up. I didn't even try to remove the head and it snapped. Her body is super fragile around the neck piece area. There is a little bar in the neck that holds the light green colored bit that goes up into their head. That was broke off on the front part of the neck. I just got home and I am about to head out again so the picture may have to wait until tomorrow because there isn't much time left for day light. I strongly recommend just using a Spectra or a Cupid and sanding the Skeleton CAM parts down instead of getting a Skelita to mount it's head on. I still need to paint the body white but for now she is done being messed with. LOL

Adhfalkdjlkehrlkjsa..... *pauses to hyperventilate* I have the BEST FRIENDS EVER!!! I got a call this morning from one of them saying that Catrine was in stock at our local Walmart. I was all "Cool, I'll have to go before work." She told me that there was 'only one left' and that if I"d pay her back she'd pick her up for me.

Well, just a few minutes ago my friends came by the house (along with a friend I don't see very often). She actually just gave me Catrine as a late x-mas present! Yay! So super happy! I'll post pics of her tonight when I get home but for now I need to get ready for work. ;.;

So for that map, Catrine has shown up in Allen, TX 75002. Unfortunately, she's already sold out. Evidently someone else had already been there before my friends, so with mine they got the last 3.

She's being found already?! 

Although I think Catrine is beautiful, I'd like to see Mattel release more monster-looking dolls.  In my house, there are enough pretty Barbie and Disney Princess dolls.  What attracts me and my daughters to MH is the fact that they are not perfect looking girls.  MH dolls are pure fantasy.  Part of what makes these dolls so awesome is they take things that are scary to kids (like werewolves, ghosts and vampires) and make them more approachable.  They take away the fear and replace it with fun.  So let me ask you this: What's more frightening than spiders?!   

Please Mattel, release Wydonna.  We need more fabulous and truly monsterous ghouls.  We need to hear her back story and get to know her.  We need more dark skinned beauties to balance out the uber pale ghouls.  I need a reason to be less afraid of spiders (cause I'm terrified of them!).  We just need her!

While I do like Catrine (I don't think there's been a character yet that I haven't liked or wanted), I would honestly trade her in a heartbeat for the Daughter of Arachne. She really knocked my socks off when I first saw her prototype, I'm disappointed that we still have yet to hear anything about her (though the comic cameo makes me hopeful), or see anything remotely close to her since.

I don't mind if they want to play it safe on exclusives every now and then, like with Catrine or Scarah, but I'm with you Michelle, I'm really itching for Mattel to push the boundaries by including more monstrous characters in their line up. I feel that the other two recently released Scaris girls were great. Skelita is actually one of my favorite dolls at the moment and I was surprised that many people didn't seem to like her. She's just the right amount of creepy and cute for me. I really love her skeletal body, and I even find her wall-eyed look to be endearing.  ^.^

This is how I feel. I'm always happy to see new characters added. Especially as someone who's been collecting them from the beginning, when it was just two or three characters getting several releases. But I much prefer the more "monstrous" dolls, and the ones with the unique, more creative features. After three characters who are all cats, Catrine just isn't as exciting to me. Plus, almost every doll line has some sort of cat-girl in some form. How many lines have a spider with all 8 limbs? The only thing close is the Novi Stars Mailie, who just has four. And Novis are more figurines than dolls in my book.

Because the E6000 is flexible the neck is not stiff.  It doesn't roll around the same way a fresh out of the box one does but it has give to turn and tip all the same.  I honestly can't remember which Abbey I did this to, I think it was the one I pictured but I've forgotten and can't tell the difference anymore by feel.

I am not guilty about my collection... I am however upset that I was almost 2 years behind in collecting... I didnt even know that much about these dolls until almost the middle of 2012... I had only seen the ones my daughter had gotten as presents (at the time only DT Clawdeen and the Deuce & Cleo 2pack) Now I have all but some of the more recent releases... But I will get there... I dont really have much of any place to "display" them like I want... **BUT** When I move out of here... I will have more space...  So its only a matter of time... I also want to get doubles of some of the dolls I have

This is mine  ^.^

Sorry to interrupt the Catrine talk, but just a note to fellow UKers - just found all the deluxe scaris dolls, including both Skelita and Jinafire, at my local sainsbury's (I'm in London), even though it has the tiniest toy section ever! So if you have one near you and don't have them yet, it's worth checking it out :)

Thanks for the heads up! Will go check the two near me tomorrow morning :)

Went to target and they have tags up for the power ghouls and scaris dolls (both deluxe and basic) making it look like they are *on sale* which might make them harder for me to find... It saus 1/20-3/16... And there aren't any on the shelf yet... **ugh** and then went to my Walmart... No catrine yet.. But I did find a RM clawdeen... If anyone is interested I will pick her up... Also a jina and Rochelle from scaris and then about 4 RM abbey... And the obvious DDG, sweet 1600, picture day (TONS!!), there is a gorgon/mummy CAM set and that was about it... Let me know if there is anything that interests anyone...

Someone in TX found them, bought them all up, and now has them on eBay for $84 each. :(
D: That really bums me out. I'm so happy that she's been spotted in my state, but now worried about the scalper situation.
I did an eBay check for distance and there aren't any listed near my area, so hopefully I have a chance of seeing her in person tonight or tomorrow.

I wish stores would put a per-person limit on hot items like this so more of us might get a chance at it before scalpers come in and snatch an entire crate-full of these newest and hottest dolls, depriving the rest of us for weeks/months. I guess I can keep dreaming.
I wish stores would do this more often as well. I mean, some of them already have limits on how many of a particular food item you can get, but toys? Every shopper for themselves. D:
I was at a 99cent store weeks ago that would sometimes get in brand-name/high priced food items and sell them for a crazy good low price. One lady came in and bought up all of the $0.99 MorningStar veggie Chicken Nuggets (normally $3+) they had - she had at least 10+ boxes in her cart, and that was just for that item. Don't get me started on the Lunchables. D: 

Let's hope that Catrine isn't another S1600 Cupid situation and stores will actually order in more boxes - not just one or two total. D:

Did you find it at Walmart?  Our local stores (Walmart, Kmart and Target) don't have any tags for the deluxe packs :(

When it comes to stocking toys and items are they mostly stocked at night? I live by two Walmarts, but I'm in a decently small town without the scalpers. Sometimes it's good because I can find things and others things are not restocked a lot since people are not buying toys much. I figure I'll start checking in the mornings on the way to work since I usually leave so early anyway no ones up. Might have to go in the morning and start my search. :lookround:

No Walmarts had them near me the Front Royal, Warrenton, or Haymarket. I also found 2 Justice's neither had any Day at the Maul Draculauras or Frankies (one in Winchester the other day I scoped out with a friend and today in Gainesville). Targets are void of CAM Packs and Power Ghouls (Spectra/Clawdeen) in my area. And all the stores I go into I ask about Deuce and they all say "Never seen a male doll." So they are not sending them in the crates or the employees are yoinking them for themselves before they hit the shelf.

Boyfriend found a Deluxie Frankie Fashion Pack at a Toys R Us in Florida. That was the only one they had. I am interested in Ghoulia, Robecca, and Operetta's so if anyone sees those for the normal 11.99 please let me know! I have gobs of stuff I am willing to trade for them or I suppose I can pay cold hard cash via the paypals. Ice/Blob - Mummy/Gorgon are wanted too but they are lower on my priority because I have a feeling they will pop up and be plentiful soon.

Ugh. That TX person is like, 50 miles from me. *sigh* So they're somewhat local. Blah. People like that are annoying.
I mean, if I did resale, I'd buy maybe one or two dolls for resale at a time and leave the rest. I'd also start the bids at a little under retail. If they go up to crazy prices because of crazy people, that's one thing, but starting bids or BIN's at crazy prices isn't right.

From my own experiences, Walmart tends to restock their toy department anytime between 10pm to 2am. They usually have their boxes/crates right next to the toys (in the main walking aisle) around 10pm to 11pm. I often go to Walmart a lot in the middle of the night, and they usually at least have the crates/boxes out when I go around midnight.

Most stores do the stocking overnight and then everything is available in the AM when they open... My hubby used to do night stocking...

You know I was just randomly thinking that since all these clothes and fashion packs and such that have come out, why doesnt mattel make some hangers for the extra clothes... I think it would be neat to see some hangers so that in the event that your ghoul just loves closet space (cleo?? lol) for her fangtastic fashions, that they might make some good money making these hangers...

My Walmart seems to stock it's shelves (the entire store of shelves) all day and night. It's a very busy Walmart and the management want it to be fully stocked at all times. I've gone to the toy dept in different times of the day and there is atleast one person unloading a cart of cases of toys. Right now there is a bunch of Scaris deluxe and slim box, dance class, GA and PD. We also have the single and double fashion packs, cars, coffin beans, cafe and the 3 doll pack. It's a poop load of dolls for me to dig around in every time I get a minute to poke in there.
Anyone work at Walmart able to get Duece's UPC to pop up on the telzon? I don't use them so I don't know.

Well I'm having trouble sleeping tonight with strange bad dreams. It looks like I'll be going very soon to look for her. Hopefully my Walmart stocked some even if they don't have Catrine. They hasn't stocked new dolls since Christmas. Then they put a few up the other day and people already went through those.

My Walmart has a lot of the same things, but the MH area is small. They squish them altogether. Always have to dig if I wan to find anything. I'll wait till about seven to go with a bit of light. I live in a bad area don't wanna get robbed.  >_<

Deuce's UPC is the same as the other slim line Scaris dolls. So unfortunately that won't do much good really. :(

I really dunno about the first name, maybe CHAIR-IH-CLO, but I'd say Arganthone as ARR-GAN-THUH-NEE. Being the Daughter of Eros, and having some Greek origin, I don't think the 'e' at the end would be the silent 'e.'

As for my favorite shoe, it's hard to say...>,<; I was always fond of Lagoona's Mad Science Shoes with the teal, yellow and black, but her DoTD Shoes were pretty nice too, looks even BETTER (!!!) When worn by Spectra. I remember someone had a picture of that as their Avatar before, but I don't remember who...I would say their name of who I think it could've been, but I don't wanna call them out like that. >,<;

There are several things I like about HHM. First, she appears to use the larger torso. Her head is designed to come off (it looks like it can be easily put on and removed, unlike the normal dolls), she's the first doll of an adult, she has a really cool outfit.... and her concept is unique to both the franchise and to playline dolls.

Catrine, on the other hand, shares a head mold with two other dolls (granted, those dolls are twins, but still), and there are already three werecats in the line. There are also three werewolves, but each one of those has something unique; gender or body size.

 Like I've said before; Catrine is pretty, just not creative. For playline in general, but especially for this line. Even C.A. Cupid, who was another random one-shot character with a reused head mold, had more creativity. She's a monster who was adopted by a god. She was the first "winged" doll, and those wings were stunning. And she was the first to utilize the body tattoos.

Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on January 22, 2013, 07:02:59 AM
I like Bloodgood, but I'm not as fond of Catrine. Bloodgood has several things going for her... She's the first female character with a Caucasian skin tone, she uses the adult body mold which has only been used once before, she's the first headless horseman character we've had, and, as far as I can tell, she has her own unique head mold.

Catrine, on the other hand, uses the same head mold as another character, she's the sixth werecat we've had if you include CAMs, she doesn't have anything unique about her outfit that sets her apart from the other werecats, except, maybe, the paintbrush heels, she's yet another character who has a pure white skin tone, and her color scheme is basically Spectra's colors except more pastel. Also, her personality is bland and boring, and she doesn't seem to have much personality outside of her art.

Some people have mentioned not being fond of Catrine because she's too normal or pretty/not as scary, etc... I wonder what they think of Headless Headmistress Bloodgood. She's completely normal if you pop on her head.  ^.^
I like Bloodgood as a character, but I'm really just looking forward to dat body mold for customs. If I get her I'll probably put her stock up for sale (unless she's an exclusive or something! Then I'd feel too bad to mutilate her @_@)

There are several things I like about HHM. First, she appears to use the larger torso. Her head is designed to come off (it looks like it can be easily put on and removed, unlike the normal dolls), she's the first doll of an adult, she has a really cool outfit.... and her concept is unique to both the franchise and to playline dolls.

Catrine, on the other hand, shares a head mold with two other dolls (granted, those dolls are twins, but still), and there are already three werecats in the line. There are also three werewolves, but each one of those has something unique; gender or body size.

 Like I've said before; Catrine is pretty, just not creative. For playline in general, but especially for this line. Even C.A. Cupid, who was another random one-shot character with a reused head mold, had more creativity. She's a monster who was adopted by a god. She was the first "winged" doll, and those wings were stunning. And she was the first to utilize the body tattoos.

Quoted for truth :)
Also keep in mind that HHB is an important and recurring character in the webisodes (I hope they will make her horse, she's not complete without Nightmare *g*) whereas Catrine DeMew is a completely new character designed for a TV Special only.
That means that HHB wasn't intended to be a doll in the first place, she was a character first. But Catrine was a doll made into a character (to promote said doll).
They had no restrictions to her doll, they could have gone crazy with her theme, outfit, etc.
But they didn't *g*

I love how Catrine looks, but - like I said before - she is not a werecat to me. She isn't even a monster to me, she is a unicorn and I will so put a horn on her head :lol:

The German TRU online store is still brimming with Cat Twins and other exclusives. All slightly reduced in price (which is remarkable for Germany, lol), so don't sweat it.
As a person who usually has to pay more for her dolls, at least I am fine over here :lol:

That is.. if they don't bundle her up with the school playset. :/

re shoes: I can't really narrow down a favorite pair (I have a least favorite pair which are Clawdeen's Club shoes/Sister Clawdeen's Shoes/Abbey's i :heart: fashion white shoes/Abbey's Wave 5 fashion shoes.) The shoe with the most reuses is the one I hate the most >.< I just don't like them. They're hard to get on and they don't look good from the front, only the side. However, I think DotD Lagoona's shoes are gorgeous (if not versatile) so I'ma go with that. Or GB Frankies, which are extremely versatile with paint :D

re Catrine: I'm not pleased she'll have molded glove hands or kanekalon hair but I think she's pretty and will definately be part of my stock collection (unlike cupid whom I just did not like) and I think she'll make a good base for other projects :D

re HHM Bloodgood: I am extremely looking forward to her release! She'll definately be coming home to me. Twice I think, one for display and the other to be my Night Class mascot (which she already is, having a doll of her will just be gravy :D) I just hope she isn't too terribly expensive.

Yeah, people put up presales for every doll like that. I never understood it... Why would I want to pay triple the price for a doll that I may not even receive? (I understand if they order EE cases, but with exclusives, I don't think that's the case...)

Must have been a black friday return. So today I finally caved and bought her. I usually can't stand Frankie, but the red lips and bangs make this one perfect! :drunk:

A part of me thinks they're bull****ing just to get people to dish out the money. >,<; I know I said it before, but with those "pre-orders" you're basically overpaying a stupid high amount to have someone search for them for you when they're released. That's how I see it.

I have 17. I'm kind of hoping I won't go much over 20 this year but I guess it all depends on me liking any new releases and if I can find any more previously released boys for a good price. I'd love to snag Clawd or Holt but they're starting to get up there in price. And of course there will always be room for Heath (and Invisibilly if we ever get him) whenever he is released.

So bummed out!

PD Cleo
GR Frankie
GR Draculaura
Werewolf CaM

Plus Jinafire, who I haven't opened yet and two dolls that I have up for sale. So a total of 11, including the ones I'm selling.

To be honest, there aren't a whole lot more that I really want to add to my collection at the moment. The only ones I can think of that I do want are Catrine and Toralei (if I can ever find her at regular price).

This.. I gave up. I now own multiples even tho I *TRY* to really keep those at a minimun.. (yeah, right)

I don't really want to count my ghouls.. Some of them are stored away, too, so that the shelf won't look so cluttered and I have several in the mail/on a WTB-List.. x_x
Including CAMS, I suppose I own between 30-50. xD;


Is RM Clawdeen an exclusive of some sort? I really want her, but the RM girls aren't all that terribly expensive in germany, so I might wait for her to be released over here..

I am trying to limit the overall size of my collection, though, so from now on, most of the dolls I purchase will be replacing one I've already got. So, for instance, I just got Scaris Deuce and Ghoulia, so I am looking to sell my classroom Ghoulia and my signature Deuce (although I may save him for a trade for something later on). I plan to get Picture Day Frankie when she comes out, and I think I will sell I <3 Fashion Frankie to make room for her. However, I am buying the CAM mummy, and she'll just be adding to my collection as I don't intend to sell any of my other CAMs to make room for her or anything like that (and I don't think I'll be selling my signature Howleen to make room for 13 Wishes Howleen when I get her).

So basically, my collection is still growing, but I'm trying to slow it down by replacing some of the dolls I'm not as fond of anymore with some of the newer ones.

I'm in love with the CAM sets! So right now I only have a few "real" characters, like Rochelle, Robecca, Abbey and Venus, but a bunch of CAM girls running around with no hair. ^^; OOPS! I can't wait to get them wigs and personalities and yay!

Oh my I'm a little embarrassed now since I have such a small collection compared to everyone  :blush: I only have six dolls at the moment. Going to keep my 1 doll per character rule, even though that is going to be terribly hard!

That was my belief when I bought my first dolls - the 5 pack gloom beach. I told my hubby I just want one of each. Then I fell madly in love with Frankie and had to have every version of her...since then it's grown into I must get nearly all the dolls! I don't have duplicates of the same dolls (ex 2 Ghouls Rule Frankie - stuff like that) but they have definately grown since my commitment to buy just one of each :)

Wow I didn't think there were that many dolls released.  It's quite fantastic to hear bout some collectors collections. 
I'm still trying my best to stick to one of each doll but things happen.
I got Meijers to honor my expired rain check for 12.00 sweet 1600 dolls.   It was pretty cool but I've discovered I don't care to much for Clawdeens purple hands..

I have yet to get seconds of very many... But I want a loose second set so I can do dioramas like one of the other users here...  i.e. I want to do a bedroom type thing for each ghoul... Or I want to do a dance theme for my dolls or a beach scene... You get the idea... I am definitely a conpletionist... So I want EVERY doll that comes out... Admittedly I was behind the 8 ball as I didn't start collecting until about 6 months ago sooo... As I said before 1 have 148 dolls, 155 if you count the play sets (including ones without dolls) I also want to get one of each fashion pack that has been released and get a doll (like the spectra fp and get a DDG Spectra to put in it) I'm a tad aggravated at prices, but that is what I get for being tardy to the party.. Lol.. Hope everyone has a good day, I have to go to class... At least it's not long... Only about an hour and a half... And ten I get to stalk Walmart  :lol:
Oh yea and I have all the wave 5 basic fp and the deluxe Frankie fp and all 9 plushies (thanks to all who helped me find them!)

He and I are friends. It was the CaMs his boyfriend found at Target; the swim line was found at Meijer. He needs to do a better job clarifying :P

Number of dolls I own? Not counting the three traveling to me, I have 120 or so. And when I started collecting (back at the beginning of MH) I was convinced I'd just get Lagoona, Deuce and Cleo  :lol:

I wonder why these dolls are so addictive. By now I know so many people who only wanted one or two dolls and now have a huge collection.
One of my best friends is the only one I know who - to date - has only bought one doll and kept it that way. She is way stronger than me *g*

I have 8 at home with 2 on the way. There are other types of dolls that I collect so I don't want to many of one kind.

I did have a huge collection but I sold them all off. But I've gotten a few of them back.

For me, it's a combination of completion and the uniqueness of each doll. My initial decision to get just the three was because I liked Deuce and Lagoona the best. I didn't really want to commit to another toy line (I was collecting ponies at the time). But then I decided that having all the characters wasn't a bad thing, especially since they all had at least one thing I really loved about them. Then I saw DotD, and I just had to have Cleo for those shoes and  her dress. But then I'd have two of one character, and that just seemed... unbalanced. By the time GB rolled around, I knew I would probably have to have every release.

Now, it's the continued attention to detail and the variety between each re-release of a recurring character. Most of them get new makeup and hairstyles with each release. And most outfits are pretty inspired and fashion-forward. There are exceptions (most Draculauras have the same makeup and a lot of the outfits are pink/black with little detail), but they're so few and far between that when I try to skip one, it bugs me because I'm missing one.

So far, I've managed not to get duplicates, unless they're part of a multi-pack including re-issues. I would eventually like to get one of each character just for re-dressing (I hate having a set broken up), but for now, I'm just focusing on keeping up!

I haven't counted how many I have exactly, but I suspect I've got at least 50 >_<  I've generally tried to stick to just dolls that I like, rather than be a completionist, as well as track down all signature dolls.  I have the most repeats of Lagoona (have all except Dead Tired) just because I like her so much :) 
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 13
Post by: Mandy85 on January 23, 2013, 10:07:08 AM
I have 27 dolls out on display (one of each unique character so far, minus Catrine) and about a dozen random others that I still haven't unpacked from my move (which is making me contemplate selling some of them). If I had the space and funds, I think it would have been fun to collect more sets, since I love the unique details each release has, but I've been happy with mostly sticking to my original plan of signatures and premiere characters. I've been purchasing outfits to redress the dolls I have, though I usually end up switching them back to their stock.

When I started getting into Monster High, I had a lot of collections going on simultaneously and all I could think a the time was, "Great, something else...! Well, I'll only get one..." ;) I've since resolved to Monster High being my main focus and only active collection however, selling off chunks of my other collections, maybe picking up something random here and there.

I've been collecting since the very beginning, so it's been a slow trickle of purchases for me, and I know from my experience with MLP's, that if I buy up too much too quickly then I tend to get burnt out on the collection and lose interest. I'm hoping Mattel doesn't crank up their new character releases in the future. I've liked only really looking forward to 1-4 dolls every few months and I dread getting left behind. :P

I have 15 Frankies all besides Ghouls Alive, Gloom Beach, and Home Ick. (I have a duplicates of Scaris and Ghouls Rule.) 4 Cleos and 1 Cleo (Picture Day that's arm fell out randomly onto my printer ROFL). 3 Draculauras and 1 on the way that I snagged for cheapo on evilbay (Wave 1) that needs some new arms. 2 Ghoulias (Scaris and Dead Tired that Psivamp sent me my first MH doll :O). 2 Abbeys I <3 Fashion and Sig Abbey. 2 Deuces Signature and Scaris BF snagged me one because I spent more in gas then the darn doll is worth honestly.


Speaking of dolls. I am on hold for 15 minutes now trying to find out if a Wal-Mart has Catrine this is ridiculous they keep ping ponging me around because I guess they are too lazy to walk over and look?

I'm late to the game but....MY favorite pair of MH shoes would have to be either Rochelle's Scaris shoes  :hearts: or Snow Bite's.......JINAFIRE's and I really like the coffin bean Clawdeen's shoes. :heart:

The shoes I just plain don't like....might be some of the clear swim line shoes. I love shoes but a couple of em are just kinda meh/bland.

Oh and I about leaped through the roof at Target yesterday when my bf saw a color on the MH shelf he'd never seen before. He took off and bee-lined it over there, grabbed something and it was then I knew that finally I had a gorgon of my very own :heart:

I also really liked how many mini-plots came in and tied all together to the main plot.

-What happened to Robecca and her accident.
-How Rochelle came to MH.
-Toralei has/had a boyfriend?!
-More screentime with Venus and some kinda connection between saving the planet and saving the school or something

Cute special! Although obviously meant to go before Ghouls Rule since it explained how some ghouls ended up enrolled at MH.

Draculaura was so adorable the entire special! So giggly and cute!

Spoiler
Oh my ghoul at cheerleader Heath!!

That's what I thought too!! But in the beginning, Frankie was all like: "It all happened last season" so I'm guessing it's a flashback kinda special that fast forwards to present at the end of the special.

Spoiler
Seriously though, throughout each game, Andy needs to put his shirt back on. lol

I want RM Draculaura so bad! I love bangs! Seriously, bangs look amazing on these gals! I don't like Frankie, but she looks super fab with bangs! The only Frankies I've liked are the ones with bangs, which are Sweet 1600, PD and Classroom. :lol: Same thing with Abbey. Wasn't a fan of her slicked back hair, but I'm totally diggin' her PD doll. Howleen? Love her DC doll, not a fan of her basic. Favorite Clawdeen? Probably the Coffin Bean one. Because? Bangs. I. LOVE. BANGS. I'm so nuts. :rofl:

The slicked side bangs (e.g., Dead Tired Frankie, 1st wave DT Draculaura, Scaris Rochelle) are my favorite. xD They make the dolls look so cute.

I stuck Scaris Draculaura in Forbitten Loves Outfit and she looks to die for. Forbitten Love Draculaura is wearing Scaris Draculauras Shirt, DDG Spectra's Bow Wrists, and Picture Day Shoes/Skirt and she looks so awesome. I love the bangs on Draculaura but I really fell in love with Dead Tired Cleo thanks to Saply. She is now my favorite doll I own. Love all the Wave 2 Fashions too. Trying to find a Wave 2 Lagoona. Going to box up my signature Cleo and Frankie so they stay in tact. I love looking at them but I need more shelf space LOL. Need to really get pictures of the DT Doll think it's the most pristine I've ever seen of any doll (granted she is now in Wave 2 Cleos clothes but still. I am drooling :P

I tried to do 1 doll only of each but my obsession with Cleo and Frankie is silly. :( LOL

Yup. Lots of them. For the past year. They're a plague, I tell you! :P Mattel's distribution is continuous fail!

Fashion packs are now $14.99 here so $16.50 with tax and now that Canada Post has jacked up our postal rates again shipping to the US is minimum $7.80... but if you (or anyone) wants me to grab one for you, just let me know  :)

The Roller Maze girls are $7, signature Abbey, Robecca, and Operetta are $11, Picture Day Draculaura and Abbey are $11, Draculaura's Power Room is $10, and Ghouls Rule are $13. It seems that there's also a buying limit to one of each doll.

Mattel just filed for some new trademarks this week, including a new character named "Viperine Gorgon." Could Deuce be getting a sister? :biggrin: "Elissabat" is another new one, maybe a vampire (though I almost hope it's some kind of bat-creature)?

"Lab Partners" is a likely confirmation of the rumored Cleo & Ghoulia and Heath & Abbey 2-packs, and "Die-ner" is the upcoming Draculaura playset that was leaked alongside the 13 Wishes dolls.

Thanks Mandy! I have Operetta coming now. At $11, the price was too good to pass up. I have never seen her in stores, so I have no idea if I will really like her in person. Her other dolls havent done much for me, but the SS dolls tend to capture my affection even when the others fail. And if we don't bond, I can gift her to one of the girls I work with who has been admiring the MH dolls lately :)

Of COURSE there's a sale when I have nothing in Paypal. XD There's a couple dolls there that I want, too.

Just out of curiousity, if you order something with the Site to Store, do you need to print out the order number/receipt/whatever they give you? Or could you just write down the number and bring it in? I was thinking about asking someone to order for me, but I don't have a printer so I don't want to order if I won't be able to pick the dolls up without a printed receipt anyway.

I placed an order or two..... Anyway these are there steps for in store pickup.

1. We'll send an email/text message when your order is ready for pickup—see the date listed under the "Pickup information" column below.
2. Print the email, save the text message or write down your order number. The pickup person listed on the Order Summary below must bring the email/text message/order number as well as a photo ID when picking up the order at the store.
3. Go to your store's Walmart.com Services/Site to Store desk during pickup hours, 10am–10pm daily. If there are no Walmart associates in the pickup area, use the touch screen located near the register to call for assistance.

Well how site to store is explained to me is that what you order comes from the distribution center/warehouse. It doesn't come from the store shelves. That's why sometimes you order something and it takes a few days or weeks to arrive, depending on the distribution centers location. The store I work at has a center about 2 hours away, and sometimes we can deliver same day as order depending on the time the order was put through.
I wish I had spending money, those prices are really good. I'd buy all of the RM dolls and a Robecca, I'm thinking come tax refund time I will be making up for it though. I didn't really like her until I saw the special, thanks for posting the special for us to watch!

Would someone (really picky about faceups...) be willing to grab me a PD Abbey on sale and ship to Canada? Preferably through store pick up so I wouldn't have to pay for two lots of shipping...

I was going to wait until I could maybe get her in store myself...but considering in Canada she will be at least $25+ tax... figured getting her this way would be a good way to go.

"Monster High TRU PURRSEPHONE,TORALEI,MEOWLODY new IN HAND! Werecat daughters" on ebay to see what I mean (it's an active auction, so I can't post the link)....

If it's real then a lot of people who missed Toralei are going to be pretty happy right now.  :lookround:

Edit: The box is different and has unique art on the interior, as well as the exterior. Plus, they all have ungloved hands and Toralei has the updated tail.

Oh man! That is the real deal for sure! The vector art is completely new and accurate, as well as all the other elements. There's also the glare of spot varnish, which you really can't fake.

It's a little surprising to me though that they would release them in essentially their original style with no makeup or hair changes or anything.

Oh *bleep*!!

I think this might be real!

But a small part of me thinks that someone is just really talented and had a lot of time on their hands and made that box, peeled the TRU sticker and put them all together with extra Frankie fashion packs.

Does anyone remember that 4 pack someone made with Lagoona, Frankie, Deuce and Clawdeen in their team spirit fashion packs on ebay?? Looked pretty legit and everything.

I am hopeful this is real, but that's what a small part of me is feeling.

It's a little surprising to me though that they would release them in essentially their original style with no makeup or hair changes or anything.
That's what I thought too when I saw Swimline Venus's face-up. >,<;

That's what made me question it at first too. That one fooled a lot of people and there's some pretty talented folks out there that can fake/recreate custom packaging. It's exciting if it's the real deal though, just think what else could be on the horizon if these fell under everyone's radar?

I bought my twins some Fearleading outfits already, but I may want these for the updated parts. Plus, who can have too many Fearleading uniforms kicking around? I could make a squad at this point.  :biggrin:

Oh, and for anyone who has Signature/Forbitten Love Clawd and wants to upgrade his hands, Mattel's spare parts page recently added his hand pack with the updated wrist joint. There's also hand sets up for Jinafire, Robecca, Howleeen, GR Cleo, and Operetta now too.

Lol that is just like me. A lot of my older dolls have wonky eyes because I wasn't quite as picky about them back then as I am now. Hell, some of them I even picked out myself from a bunch of others because I didn't really notice the uneven eyes at the time. >_>

I just realized something when I kept asking myself if it could be real or not. A Huge "LOOK FOR THE BARCODE!!!!" Sign in neon red just turned on in my head. Is there a barcode on it?!?!

The barcode would be on the bottom, not visible in the pics.
I always thought the barcode would be on the back at a bottom corner somewhere.  If they put barcodes on the bottom of the box of Multipacks of 3+ dolls, that would make more sense as to why there isn't one on that one.

Yeah, I just checked Hanna's boxes and they're all on the bottom of the 3+ packs.

OMGggg... I have all these dolls already but.. but.. HANDS WITH NO GLOVES! NO GLOVES!
It will probably be too pricey to ship with the new/higher USPS fees, but if it comes to germany I'LL SO BUY ONE.. just for the hands. I'm nuts...

I don't think my Toralei (http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8154/7298352252_ecde868e08_o.jpg) has eye wonk, at least if she does it's so slight I don't notice it.

If this is legit, and I end up getting the set... I know what I'm doing. Throwing my Toralei's hands on the new doll, I realized Toralei has clawed hands (like, shaped like Howleen's) which I am totally not fond of...

SO torn about the Fearleading Werecats!

I'm looking to replace my Werecats, and this would be a purrfect way to do it, BUT then I wouldn't have the Fearleaders :huh:  I don't know what to do.  Buy another set of the Sister pack, and the Fearleaders?  Two Fearleaders? 

I wonder what retail price will be.  Certainly not $150, like the seller wants :lol:

The last fearleading set at TRU was what, no more than $50 I think? Probably about in that ballpark I'm sure, no more than $60 I'd imagine...

I'd say around the same price as the other fearleading set, which is $42.99 now.

(+ to replace my Tora who has slight wonk eye, because back when I did not pay THAT close attention to the eyes, but it's bugging me a little now.

Lol that is just like me. A lot of my older dolls have wonky eyes because I wasn't quite as picky about them back then as I am now. Hell, some of them I even picked out myself from a bunch of others because I didn't really notice the uneven eyes at the time. >_>

LOL THIS! ..the ones I picked up in stores are sometimes worse than the ones I ordered online.. XD I checked them, but still.. I guess I paid closer attention to other things like if the fangs were OK or if the eyebrows were misaligned.. HECK I DON'T KNOW what I was looking at.. not the eyes, that's for sure. XD
My worst wonk is Sig Howleen, tho.. one of her eyes is looking straight, the other is looking ever so slightly up. It's not super bad, yet I saw THAT even back when, but she was an ebay purchase, not store.. I am still looking for a replacement, but she was never sold here and eyewonk seems to be common with her, so it's hard to find a better one. :,<

Anyways, after getting her was when I started putting more/most attention into how the eyes were printed.

I hope that set is real....my Toralei is the very first doll I am certain has glue seepage *cries*. She looks beautiful otherwise, so if I had another....she could be a rehair project :).  And I hate the glove hands.....   All around win.   

Wanted to point out, that's most likely not Frankie's  fashion pack- the stitches on her Fearleading outfit don't come off very easily.

My favorite thing about the Friday Night Frights special was probably Heath and Mannytaur cheer leading...I think I have a problem :)

Of COURSE there's a sale when I have nothing in Paypal. XD There's a couple dolls there that I want, too.

Just out of curiousity, if you order something with the Site to Store, do you need to print out the order number/receipt/whatever they give you? Or could you just write down the number and bring it in? I was thinking about asking someone to order for me, but I don't have a printer so I don't want to order if I won't be able to pick the dolls up without a printed receipt anyway.

Did you know you don't need to have money in paypal to use it? I do it all the time with EBay. It just comes straight from my checking account.


As for the Werecat 3 Pack. I'm skeptical. Anyone remember this?

Hmmmm, I don't know what to make of this just yet, if it's a custom or the real deal, but type in
"Monster High TRU PURRSEPHONE,TORALEI,MEOWLODY new IN HAND! Werecat daughters" on ebay to see what I mean (it's an active auction, so I can't post the link)....

If it's real then a lot of people who missed Toralei are going to be pretty happy right now.  :lookround:

Edit: The box is different and has unique art on the interior, as well as the exterior. Plus, they all have ungloved hands and Toralei has the updated tail.

If this is true... I hope it's a new release... That would be cool!

lol I know right?! That was also one of my favorite scenes from the special esp at the end when all went downhill. Makes Manny seem less of a backgrounder but getting more and more closer to being one of the normal appearance characters. :P

Oh, and for anyone who has Signature/Forbitten Love Clawd and wants to upgrade his hands, Mattel's spare parts page recently added his hand pack with the updated wrist joint. There's also hand sets up for Jinafire, Robecca, Howleeen, GR Cleo, and Operetta now too.

AH DANG!
Can someone who's going to order anyways order me a set of Clawd Hands and like 2-3 sets of Goona Fins and ship to me? We can split s&h fees on the original order, too! ;O;

As far as I remember there was something odd about the mattel webstore.. they don't ship international or it was terribly expensive or something along that lines.

Yeah. But even if this 3-pack is the same price as the other fearleading pack, it's $42.99 each. Then take $5 off and add tax and the seller paid about $41.50 each. And selling them with over $100 profit per pack!!

They are for sure trying to scalp as much as possible by not showing the prices. :(  big money is at the beginning of an item's appearance, especially when it's been under wraps! For $150....you could get three sets!~   :beerchug:

The Roller Maze girls are $7, signature Abbey, Robecca, and Operetta are $11, Picture Day Draculaura and Abbey are $11, Draculaura's Power Room is $10, and Ghouls Rule are $13. It seems that there's also a buying limit to one of each doll.

 sweet!! just ordered a clawdeen..  I love her :)  now i will just need DL and cleo and my GR will be all set..

Ok, I like werecats, I really do...but another one...? Can't it like...be a guy or something? Srsly. Though Catty Noir sounds like she'll probably be a black cat...and I kinda really want to see that that. But would they really release two black skinned dolls at the same time? Not because of the black skin, but of the similarity.

 OH I HOPE  all this is true!!  can't wait to see heath , invisibilly  and wydona!!

What if Catty Noir is like Black and White Frankie color scheme? That could be interesting.

Also, there are the new trademarks that Mandy posted a few pages back for two new characters.... I can already tell I'm going to be broke for the rest of the year. I hope I can get caught up before they bombard us with all of these releases.

Miss Ashley comes with good news! Thank you so much!

Oh dear... Hold on to your wallets guys & ghouls, it's going to be a bumpy ride!

Toy Fair 2013 in New York during the first week of February, and a new multi-MH doll display will be exhibited. Here are a few of them:

- Scaris City Of Frights Lagoona and Cleo - Skultimate Roller Maze Draculaura - Dot Dead Gorgeous Frankie, Venus,Cleo,Claw deen, Robecca - Picture Day Clawdeen - Ghouls Night Out Howleen, Lagoona, Spectra and Rochelle - Dance Class Rochelle Goyle - 13 Wishes Gigi Genie, Twyla, Frankie, Clawdeen, Lagoona, Draculaura, Cleo's Oasis Beach and Spectra's Haunt the Casbah PlaySet - Dead Tired Spectra, Robecca, Lagoona, Spectra's Creepy Bed, Lagoona's Shower and Draculaura's Die-Ner Restaurant - Classroom Double Cleo and Ghoulia Mad Science, Heath Burns and Abbey Home Ick - New Characters Heath Burns, İnvisi Billy, Catty Noir, Wydowna Spider - Create A Monster Werewolf Boy and Sea Monster Boy - Color Me Creepy Howleen And Lagoona - Music Festival Clawdeen HipHop, Abbey himalayan, Venus Plunk - New I Heart Fashion Wave 2 (Shoe Set) Clawdeen and Draculaura



Thank you for passing on the info PiexLover, and I'd really like all of this to be true (gah! Wydowna!? Invisi Billy!), but there's a few tidbits in this list that are wrong. Color Me Creepy was initially assumed by a few people to be the funky-colored Lagoona and Howleen dolls that had prototype images leaked recently. Thereafter the rumor mill immediately spread this as factual, but the people who took the original survey have confirmed that they're not connected.

The trademark for the line was discovered immediately before the images surfaced, so that's likely where the confusion came from. The images of the dolls in question are meant to be a part of the basic 13 Wishes line, while Color Me Creepy are color-changing Create-A-Monster sets.

Did this person list any sources for why they would have this information? If they're telling the truth, then it may just be a perception of what they believed the dolls to be a part of if they just glanced them over and didn't get any additional info, but I'm going to take it with a grain of salt for now. Toyfair is in less than 3 weeks though, so we'll be able to confirm or deny it all pretty soon. :)

I am soooooooooooooo exctied about all of that!! I was reading the comments on the fb post though and some people are saying it's not true. :( I really really reallly hope it's true! Mattel just take every piece of plastic card that contains money on it that I own.

Wow today I felt so happy and giddy with my finds! But as soon as I got home...That Buyer's Remorse hit me like a bullet train! >,<;

Little rant and need some hugs. :(
Spoiler
I went and paid for Robecca to ship to their store at walmart: $12.05
Went to Fred Meyer, found Rochelle, bought her with with Home Coupon need her to go with Robecca and Venus: $22.66
Went to a different one and didn't find the school playset...Until I looked at a different spot, they did! $39.40

Add that all together and I basically dropped $74.11 in one day, and now I'm starting to feel REALLY guilty about it...dang...>,<;  :yikes:

It's like a Yay! Now I have a Rochelle (and soon Robecca) to go with my Venus moment and I really wanted the school set and now that I have it, I kinda feel like I shouldn't have it....Maybe it's because of how much I spent so quickly or something that's making me feel like this, but wow, I am feeling so full of guilt & regret right now.

All that today AND More releases coming out soon?! *Urk*...I think I just coughed up blood...:freak:

Thank you so much for sharing! I am so excited about Invisibilly and REALLY excited about WYDOWNA!!!!!!

Don't you guys think that if this is the display line-up, it is unlikely Wydowna will be the SDCC?  I HOPE SO!


BTW If someone can't find Jinafire- I picked up an extra at Target and you can have her for actual cost (I think $24) + shipping

Don't think about all the money you spent, but all the money you SAVED!  I'd KILL to find the school for that price!  But I won't:(  I'll end up waiting until it's too late, and have to pay $100 for mine.  You should be happy and bouncing off the walls!

I know spending so much at once sucks, but just think how much you would have spent if you had drawn it out.  You did the right thing!  Don't feel badly:)

Now, debox that school and make me a few pic stories!  I wanna see that baby in action!

I can't tell you all how excited I am :green: I think I'll just give Mattel my wallet. I cannot wait to see all these new dolls. This is way more than we thought there would be!
I'm skeptical about this. I've seen pics of the Color Me Creepy dolls. They're CAMs. I think this may just be someone's wishlist, if not an outright hoax, that has gone viral.

I'm happy to be proven wrong, but I think I shall take it with a grain of salt until the toy fair actually starts and we can see what's on display.

It does seem almost too good to be true *sob* It's basically the entire fandom's wishlist come true and I kinda doubt Mattel listens to us THAT much XD I really hope it's all true, but I'm not going to let my hopes go up too high until Toy Fair just in case...

^Spaced that out a little; I don't know about you guys, but I was having trouble reading it in one big text block.

Anyway, all the new dolls sound awesome, if they are indeed real. Can't wait to see pictures from Toy Fair!

If these do turn out to be real, I will definitely be picking up RM Draculaura. I'm not a huge Draculaura fan, but I just watched the roller maze special, and she was so cute!

Invisibilly sounds like he'd be an interesting concept as a doll. I wonder if he'll basically be a male version of Spectra, with the white-fades-to-clear paint effect on his limbs, or if they'll do something different.

I figured Catty Noir would be based on the Le Chat Noir poster and therefore part of the Scaris line (hey, makes sense to me!)

I am so excited for most of these, esp the boys! I wonder if the CAM boy werewolf will be a different color from Clawdeen and family; there was a gray fakie one on ebay a while ago that I loved:)

  :hug: Bigg Huggs :hug:

Hopefully this will help you feel better, last month I dropped more than $75  in one day and I know it totaled well over $100 for that month on MH. If I start to feel buyers remorse I reminded myself that I make sure my bills are paid before I buy and that I am buying something that I enjoy and makes me happy and especially if i can find a great deal on something. So remember the positives when the negatives try to get you down. Yeah like you I don't even want to think about the new releases or coming soons  :shocked: lol.  Yet I can't help but look forward to them too. I so need help lol

I don't have my camera at the moment since my parents took it with them on their trip. I might plan to open them later when I make more room. :P I guess in a way you're right with thinking of the good out of the purchase than the bad, if I added all 3 with retail price, I would've spent an estimate of $125.00. Saved a whole lot on the School Playset and Robecca, but it's still such a high amount, so I'll just have to find a way to make up what I lost and I should be fine. :biggrin:

Don't feel bad Luvly! I would die to find the school playset on clearance, omg. I would be ecstatic! Maybe your other dolls can make use of it too? I know I want to see a new photo story featuring it. :hug:

Thanks so much for posting about the sale on Walmart.com, Mandy! I went a little crazy and bought...6 dolls? And a vanity set, because I preposterously desire the alternate vanity (with the white trim) like, immensely. (I already have the set that came with the Ula doll.) Actually, I think the only doll I got who I don't already have is GR Clawdeen. XD The rest will (hopefully!) be replacements for a couple of my girls I'm not happy with, or alternates for fashion packs. I just couldn't say no to that price! :freak: Monster High is like NEVER on sale, srsly.

I'm happy with everyone I got, but I wish they'd still had Operetta and any Spectra! I'd love another Signature Opry as well as DDG and PD Spectras for fashion packs. :P

Looks like there is a new TRU exclusive set with Toralei and the Werecat Twins.  Someone on eBay has them listed, and according to people on the Monster High Dolls FB page, it is a legit set.  :)


Edit: eep, looks like someone beat me to it. xD still awesome news, because yay releasing Toralei!


And i am totally excited about Invisibilly and Wydowna likely being at Toy Fair. :heart:

Thanks for the heads-up!  I bought about 9 dolls, mostly will be used for some repaints  :)

Amazon is selling some of the same dolls for the exact sale price as Walmart too!  There's some coordination going on here  :P

http://www.amazon.com/Mattel-W9116-Monster-High-Operetta/dp/B006WAIIM4/ref=sr_1_48?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1359076111&sr=1-48&keywords=draculaura

Walmart is having an online sale with some decent prices at the moment that I thought I'd point out here. :)

http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?ic=32_0&tab_value=all&search_query=monster+high&search_constraint=0&search_sort=5&cat_id=4171_4187&ss=false

The Roller Maze girls are $7, signature Abbey, Robecca, and Operetta are $11, Picture Day Draculaura and Abbey are $11, Draculaura's Power Room is $10, and Ghouls Rule are $13. It seems that there's also a buying limit to one of each doll.

SO torn about the Fearleading Werecats!

I'm looking to replace my Werecats, and this would be a purrfect way to do it, BUT then I wouldn't have the Fearleaders :huh:  I don't know what to do.  Buy another set of the Sister pack, and the Fearleaders?  Two Fearleaders? 

I feel similarly! I've been wanting a second set of the twins, but I want the extra stock, too. I'm not sure I can justify that if I have to get the Fearleading set now... (And I know I do, because it's different enough that I need it for completion purposes.) So I guess really I'm just annoyed that it means now if I get my second set of Signature Twins I'll have three copies of both girls with identical hair and make-up, arrrgh. I also seem to be the only person who isn't in love with how much emphasis MH puts on "fearleading" in the canon/having a bunch of identical fearleading outfits. :P

Another Toralei is really cool though, for those who missed out, and maybe I can change mine's hair. :)

Yay!  Keelee joins the club of people with BOTH of Lala's vanities!

Haha, I just realized I also have two of her cars now, because I already had the original and then I had to order the JCP exclusive for the doll.  :drunk:

I bought DDG Lagoona for $11 and GR Cleo for $13. Great deals! I don't need anymore Lagoonas, but I love having extras for fashion packs. I would have gotten another RM Lagoona, but I'm not a fan of her crayon-ish yellow. I prefer blonde that she usually has. I would have gotten PD Cleo if she was on sale! :cry:

If my Meijer had a Sweet 1600 Draculaura so I could have gotten her for $12 with my rain check, which is probably expired now. :cry:

News about the Toy Fair from the Monster High Dolls Facebook group!

Quote
Miss Ashley comes with good news! Thank you so much!

Oh dear... Hold on to your wallets guys & ghouls, it's going to be a bumpy ride!

Toy Fair 2013 in New York during the first week of February, and a new multi-MH doll display will be exhibited. Here are a few of them:

- Scaris City Of Frights Lagoona and Cleo - Skultimate Roller Maze Draculaura - Dot Dead Gorgeous Frankie, Venus,Cleo,Claw deen, Robecca - Picture Day Clawdeen - Ghouls Night Out Howleen, Lagoona, Spectra and Rochelle - Dance Class Rochelle Goyle - 13 Wishes Gigi Genie, Twyla, Frankie, Clawdeen, Lagoona, Draculaura, Cleo's Oasis Beach and Spectra's Haunt the Casbah PlaySet - Dead Tired Spectra, Robecca, Lagoona, Spectra's Creepy Bed, Lagoona's Shower and Draculaura's Die-Ner Restaurant - Classroom Double Cleo and Ghoulia Mad Science, Heath Burns and Abbey Home Ick - New Characters Heath Burns, İnvisi Billy, Catty Noir, Wydowna Spider - Create A Monster Werewolf Boy and Sea Monster Boy - Color Me Creepy Howleen And Lagoona - Music Festival Clawdeen HipHop, Abbey himalayan, Venus Plunk - New I Heart Fashion Wave 2 (Shoe Set) Clawdeen and Draculaura

I can't tell you all how excited I am :green: I think I'll just give Mattel my wallet. I cannot wait to see all these new dolls. This is way more than we thought there would be!
I'm skeptical about this. I've seen pics of the Color Me Creepy dolls. They're CAMs. I think this may just be someone's wishlist, if not an outright hoax, that has gone viral.

I'm happy to be proven wrong, but I think I shall take it with a grain of salt until the toy fair actually starts and we can see what's on display.

Yeah, at first I freaked because of DDG Cleo and Wydowna Spider, but then I was like: "Wait, what? Invisibilly?"
And you're right about the "Color Me Creepy" dolls. People who have seen the pictures all said that Howleen was part of "13 Wishes".
The text also said nothing about the CMC CAM set with Frankenstein's laboratory. Very suspicious.

I hope at least DDG Cleo will be true. I fell in love with her outfit and I want her so bad to be my second Cleo!

PS: I think "Catty Noir" is a stupid name. Very unoriginal. It literally translates to Nasty Black, lol. I wonder if she is supposed to be the character that is rumored to get released on my birthday (September 13th, which will also be a friday the 13th, hahaha). I get a black cat on my birthday of doom. Thanks, Mattel!  ;)

Ahh filler clip show. >,>;

As for Catty Noir. Great...more cat girls. Already overdone in anime fandom, why not bring it over here too! *end sarcasm* >,<; I mean I love the werecats and all, but they have such a high ratio of characters compared to other ghouls that have been created.

Toralei
Meowlody
Purrsephone
Caterine
CAM

That's 5 catgirls so far! If they made a new one, that'll be 6!!!

And what an unwitty name. That's like naming a blue ghoul who doesn't speak and communicates only through sound vibrations: Blu Mangroup

Not trying to be all negative or anything, but I'm sure some people can understand where I'm coming from.

If Catty Noir means Nasty Black, I hope she turns out to be some kind of Shadow monster that has nothing to do with Werecats.

Price: US $149.99 [3 sold]

I'm not interested in the werecats, but I guess the set is legit. Why would anyone create new art for the werecats that looks freakishly accurate just to fool some MH fans on the web? I just hope nobody is that bored to put so much effort into a scam :lol:

Exactly! And the actual CmC dolls I've seen were a sea monster and a werewolf (both girls), so I think that's what the CAM boys are actually, as disappointing as that is (would've loved some more boys).

Please guys dont trust all of this info.

As far as I know there is no "Colour me Creepy" Howleen and Lagoona. They keep banging on about "Colour me Creepy" Howleen and Lagoona, but it's the "13 Wishes" ones they keep calling that. This is what you get when some douche I shared images with didnt keep them seceret and didnt know what lines they were from.

"Colour me Creepy" is a new line of CAM's.

Wouldnt trust the CAM's boy news, the only ones I have seen are girls and they are the "Colour me Creepy" dolls as I have shared those images with 2 trusted people here.

Scaris Cleo and Lagoona are "TRU Exclisuve"

I really dont trust that we will be getting more DDG dolls, maybe Frankie, Cleo and Clawdeen but not Venus and Robecca as they were not in the DDG episode. But hey you never know.

There were two new outfits for Robecca and Venus in the New years Eve webisode and since that webisode also featured DDG outfits some people quickly jumped to the conclusion that Rob's and Venus' dresses must also be DDG.
So yeah, this sounds a lot like a wishlist. But i'd love more Venus! Maybe it was her Music Festival outfit ;)

I don't think they are in the original DDG webisode, but they are definitely in the Boo Years Eve one which reused the DDG dresses ( and they re used dresses in the past with webisodes using the DoTD dresses) ...just thinking in text here. 

And I still can't find the finished auctions, and I really don't think they're fake, just that someone might have reported them as such (I had actually thought  they had most likely sold but I just couldn't find the darn thing!). No idea what's going on with my search.

Personally, I'd hate to get a Robecca like that. She looks too much like the clothes in her fashion pack. But Venus looks vaguely p(l)unky to me and I like it ;)

It's a shame the list turned out to be a hoax. I thought it might be, so didn't really have my hopes up too high for anything that wasn't already confirmed, but still, a shame. I really do hope they release RM Draculaura, though; it seems stupid to release all the rest of the team but not her, and I really liked her look in the RM special.

In other news, I'm most likely gonna get killed. I used my mother's Bill Me Later thing on Paypal to take advantage of Walmart's sale and ordered a couple dolls without getting permission first. Does anyone think she'll kill me over $27?

If I do survive, I'll have added sig. Abbey, RM Lagoona, and RM Frankie to my collection. I'll also be adding DDG Lagoona, but she's not one I'm potentially getting killed for, as I'm getting her with my own money.

The best thing to do is find out where the seller lives, and if one of "us" arena members live in that area go to TRU and scope it out. Although the wiki isn't always accurate, it is stated on there this, "Go Monster High Team!!!Edit

A second 3-pack is released in the Go Monster High Team!!! series, this time containing Toralei Stripe, Purrsephone, and Meowlody. The 2013 3-pack, like the 2011 one, is exclusive to Toys"R"Us." I cannot see when this was posted or anything, but I thought I'd share that.

Holy cow... I skipped this thread yesterday because I was too tired and it took over an hour for me to catch up tonight.

One thing I think is annoying about "Catty Noir" (was she in the fake list? I'm having trouble keeping track) is that if it's another Werecat... That's just too dang many. There are 4 werewolves, and 5 werecats... We don't need a 6th, sorry.

On the other hand, "Viperine Gorgon" and "Elissabat"... I am all for a female gorgon and a third vampire. (I am including CAMs in all these counts.)

Yeah, not everything on the list is fake. I just meant it was a hoax in terms of it supposedly being "inside info" about what was going to be previewed at the toy fair. Most of what was on the list was stuff we already knew about from the recent leaks. The rest was either incorrect (Color Me Creepy) or stuff that's on just about everyone's wishlist.

I never noticed them in the DDG Webisode.


I don't think they are in the original DDG webisode, but they are definitely in the Boo Years Eve one which reused the DDG dresses ( and they re used dresses in the past with webisodes using the DoTD dresses) ...just thinking in text here. 

And I still can't find the finished auctions, and I really don't think they're fake, just that someone might have reported them as such (I had actually thought  they had most likely sold but I just couldn't find the darn thing!). No idea what's going on with my search.

I had the auction saved on my watch list so here is the link to the finished auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251218842453?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/251218842453?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649) All three packs did sell.

Thanks for that :)  no idea why my search wasn't pinging on it.  Very weird.

Well at the toy fair I would like to see the actual dolls... Stock photos always look different so Hopefully they aren't prototypes anymore and Lagoona will still have the crazy hair and skin :) And hopefully the Genie won't look like the Harpy CAM anymore >_>

I went to Walmart looking for Catrine today and got someone to scan the shelf tag. 6 on order. But no idea if that means 6 dolls or 6 cases. Any experts care to comment?

I just wish they could tell me when she is due in :(

I almost bought Skellita today. I don't even really like her. I hate orange. She's wall eyed. She just doesn't do anything for me.

But the longer this line is out and the more people talk about wanting her and not seeing her, the more I am tempted to buy her and hang into her and keep her in box. I want her because of her rarity, not because I actually like her. Not because I am a completionist either. I really don't care if I have every single doll. I only want the ones I like. And now, apparantly, the ones that are rare. I would grab another jinafire to keep in box also because of rarity. Then some day down the line if I wind up needing emergency money, I can sell off the boxed ones. I look at it as a sort of investment, I suppose.

Is this normal?

 Then some day down the line if I wind up needing emergency money, I can sell off the boxed ones. I look at it as a sort of investment, I suppose.

My mom did that for me when I was a teen/young adult with Barbies. She would buy me a special Barbie every Christmas and one day when I was like 25 I was like, "Mom, I love the Barbies, but why keep buying them for me?" and her reply was, "They are an investment, you collect them, and one day you might need money, and they could help you". After that I knew what she meant, because I did need money and I sadly sold most of the Barbies, including a porcelain bride Midge. I still have my childhood Barbies, but I would never sell those. I also haven't gotten anymore Barbies from her since I was in my 20s except one that had my name Aine, which I'd never sell because of the circumstances behind her and she's got my name.
I know this isn't MH related, but it is related to the topic. But at the same time, an item is only worth how much someone is willing to pay for it.

While it is certainly possible to sell toys for emergency money, like psy mentioned, I personally would not 'invest' in toys, or at least not MH. Maybe something that has been around as long as barbie, or maybe art-toys.. but still... It could always backfire. Lots of old toys aren't even worth retail now.
And an item being highly sought after NOW is no gurantee either.. Remember Pokemon and Digimon? Those used to sell like hot cakes when I was young (..well, younger xD). And when you missed out on something you had to shell out a lot of money for it on ebay. ..most of these items sell for about a dollar now. :7
While I'm not saying MH will share the same fate, it's still possible! So I would be careful using toys as an investment, but maybe that's just me. :)

Yeah. I know what you mean! I haven't ever really collected anything before, other than baseball cards. (Those are in a box still) so while I realize the risk in buying purely from an investment standpoint, I sort of feel like its my way of trying to rationalize buying something that I don't need or really feel drawn to. Like, why bother buying it, right? Spending for spending's sake I suppose. That's a horrible way to be about money and I try so hard not to do it!

I can proudly say I came home without Skellita!

I myself mostly collect to collect! (and possibly play with later down the road) practically the only reason I got into MLP/Doll collecting in the first place, something about them makes me feel warm fuzzy and comfort when I see mine all in their boxes. It would calm me down or cheer me up when I'm in a bad mood or upset.

If I ever need money for an emergency and have what is needed, or see what is needed and is on the store shelf, I might have to sell them to make what I need. >,<;

I'm only keeping mine MIB Until I just cave one day and decide to open them all and play with them, and now that I have the School Playset, I'm feeling more tempted!! But I must resist and see how long I can last without opening them. :P

I actually thought Skelita was really freaky-looking when the line came out. I think when I'd only seen pictures, I'd even said on here I couldn't see myself liking her. When I saw her in person, I actually liked her so I got her. So far I haven't really bought any dolls just for "investment" purposes, I will buy a rare doll when I see them, but then turn right around and sell them (for little to no profit, at that)... Although I do have a Scaris Deuce that I've been holding onto for about a week now. I can't decide if I want to keep him or sell him.

Either way, I don't think it's abnormal to have a doll for investment purposes. Scaris Deuce might become that for me, I suppose.

But still I totally get what motivates you guys to buy some dolls and keep them boxed! Nothing wrong about it! ^^
I guess all I wanted to say is that those dolls aren't gold.. so there is no gurantee they'll keep their worth down the line.

Me, honestly, I think they'll propably end up like Turtles or so.. a toy testemony of their time and still somewhat sought after by toycollectors..

Last night I had a dream that the library I work at had Monster High dolls available for trade. Basically, you brought in your unwanted MH doll and you could pick any of the ones we had to trade it for. We mostly had Meowlody and Purrsephone, and I think the Gorgon CAM and some Sig Robeccas. So freaking weird. I know there was a discussion a while back about MH dreams, this was my first!

I wish I could get rid of my Diddl collection from childhood. My brother and me had those binders for the notepad pictures and we also had a plushie army. 11-year-old me loved this crap and nowadays nobody wants to help me get those mice out of my life again, because nobody wants them anymore, lol!

I think it's like stickers or trading cards. You need to find the right publisher and bam! the character will sell on its own. Kids love to collect little pictures. It's a law of nature. Just like kids loving dinosaurs *g*
I think the new "Diddl" are those very simply drawn sheep.

I myself collect for the fun of it, this community, the great friends I made through it, the anticipation of a new doll and the joy of styling them.. for me, the money is gone the minute I spent it.

Yes ^^
I came for the ponies and stayed for MH (and the nice people here).
I think the only way of making good money with MH dolls right now is going for the SDCC exclusives and the boys. Gil skyrocketed from 25€ retail to over 100€ on German ebay within only one year.
If I was in it mostly for the money, I'd only buy Deuces, Gils and Holts, keep them for one or two years boxed and then put them on ebay.

I have great respect for the people on here who keep their dolls boxed. I'm so in love with the character designs of MH dolls that I just can't wait to have them in my hands, look at them from all angles, touch the hair and clothes (I'm starting to sound like a creep, lol!!) - leaving them in their boxes would drive me crazy.

I seriously love MLP and MH figures/dolls. Looking at or "playing" with them makes me so happy.
It's a bit weird since I really wasn't a doll girl when I was small. I had Barbies and such, but I never really played with them. My big childhood love were Steiff plushies and dinosaur figures (like I said, it is a law of nature, lol).

I think the part about investing is letting go of an item at the right time.  It's risky but when it's hot is when you need to let it go not 5 years down the road when no one wants it. 

I went to Walmart to pick up some medicine for my dad and they still don't have her.  While at the gym I was told my orders already came in (it took a whole day!!).  So I went over there after I went to the gym, in my work out clothing and while it wasn't the best service ever I'd still recommend ship to store it saved me quite a bit.

So freaking weird. I know there was a discussion a while back about MH dreams, this was my first!

Yay first MH Dream! You're getting in deep now, bwahaha :silly:
I have silly dreams from time to time. I remember when I first started my MH obsession and found out that Holt existed. I had a dream I found one brand new in a store after escaping an avalanche. I turned around for one second and suddenly my best friend was purchasing him at the counter and I was sooooo sad.  :jealous:

Then the other day I dreamt I was running a race, I can't for a while because I had my meniscus surgically repaired, realized that I could have ruined my knee forever and then went to TRU to drown my sorrows in a bunch of Sweet 1600 dolls.  :blush:

On Investment:

I agree that if you sell at the right time great, but right now I know some MH dolls are sought after and others rare. However, then I think of Beanie Babies and how people grabbed them up-kept them in good shape and went through the *not worth much but a $1* phase and are now being sold in second hand shops/resale for that or maybe a few dollars more. So depending on how many people end up doing the exact same thing, keeping them new in box then flooding the market.....

We shall see, but I keep some in box, some out. I have the boxes for the ones I have purchased in store only because when I moved I was able to tie them back into their places. I felt moving them this way was safer.

Same with Pokemon! I found all my old cards in a binder and some foils are about the same price as what I had labeled years and years ago. Heeee.

Do you even need to ask?! :faint: If they're going for less tha- WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THIS?! GO GET THEM!!!

ETA: You got them, yay!!
:enthralled: lol I checked around seeing what they were going for, figured I'd double check and then jumped on it like a panther. :kitty: Not gonna lie, when they said *out of box boys* I was hoping for a Gil, but I'll take dem fellas!

One of the only reasons I keep mine in boxes is because of the value... Recently I found myself buying the cheaper dolls as extras to put in the outfits and fashion packs I have bought... Although I am still dead set on getting an extra open set, I probably won't do what I did with the mib's and just get one of each ( ie : roller maze now has the single abbey and so I would just buy th singles not the 2 pack with ghoulia and abbey) same with the DotD girls as such..

Nice! Great find TrixieStix! :)

Opened, stripped, brushes, washed, boil straightened, dried, redressed and I LOVE her! Although she doesn't have enough blue in her hair. >,<; Only one streak of blue in the back of her hair and her bangs have a bunch. Her stockings are hard to take off!! But now that she's been groomed, she'll stay in her stock. :P

Now all I need is Robecca to get here from Walmart and I'll be set with my GFF pairings with Venus, Rochelle and Robecca! XD

All Sig. Rochelle's are like that, with the blue in her hair:(  I've been looking for one with just a tad more, and it's just impossible!  I've decided just to use an extra Scaris Rochelle as my Sig. instead.

Glad to see you are finally getting to play with your dolls, Luvly:)

Oh god.. Guys.. I watched the new special and I'm pretty sure I'm dying for a RM Draculaura.... ;____;
I haven't wanted a doll this bad before EVER and I don't even own a single Draculaura! Go figure! >u<

I was actually super excited to find a Rochelle with NO blue on the sides of her bangs! The less blue, the better. :lol: She just has some in her bangs and the one lone streak in the back.

Yes! She's the cutest Draculaura I've seen in a really long time (since the Draculaura included with the Coffin Bean set totally disappointed me) and I hope they release her.

The other Signature Rochelle I'm keeping MIB has a long streak going down log sides of her head, so I'm happy with opening the other one. :P

RM Draculaura is the cutest I've ever soon too so far out of all the 3D Specials, GR was too Fancy/extravagant, SS was meh, this one was so CUTE compared to the other ones!

Man, I don't know how much longer I can maintain self control. For the longest time I kept telling myself I wasn't going to spend a ton of money on SDCC dolls. Now, I'm seriously considering buying Ghoulia and Scarah. I'm screwed.

I really really want both of them.. I'm just trying to reason with myself and be realistic and not buy them lol.

So, I have a question.  Since Boris Karloff played the Mummy, Frankenstein, and Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde does that make Frankie, Cleo, Nefera and Jackson/Holt are long lost siblings lol?  As well as Draculaura and Operetta since Gerard Butler has portrayed The Phantom of the Opera and Dracula in more recent movies?  I just thought it was interesting that so many monsters that are the parents at Monster High have been played by the same actors.

Post by: mistic_imp on January 25, 2013, 06:33:14 PM
While it is certainly possible to sell toys for emergency money, like psy mentioned, I personally would not 'invest' in toys, or at least not MH. Maybe something that has been around as long as barbie, or maybe art-toys.. but still... It could always backfire. Lots of old toys aren't even worth retail now.
And an item being highly sought after NOW is no gurantee either.. Remember Pokemon and Digimon? Those used to sell like hot cakes when I was young (..well, younger xD). And when you missed out on something you had to shell out a lot of money for it on ebay. ..most of these items sell for about a dollar now. :7
While I'm not saying MH will share the same fate, it's still possible! So I would be careful using toys as an investment, but maybe that's just me. :)

One word: Diddl XD

OMG! I.too. ..am totally guilty of this! (but I sold them for Digimon Stuff, so I still got something out of it! HA! :D) - As an Illustrator, tho, I really want to know his secret! He's a millionaire! 0-0

I wish I could get rid of my Diddl collection from childhood. My brother and me had those binders for the notepad pictures and we also had a plushie army. 11-year-old me loved this crap and nowadays nobody wants to help me get those mice out of my life again, because nobody wants them anymore, lol!

I think it's like stickers or trading cards. You need to find the right publisher and bam! the character will sell on its own. Kids love to collect little pictures. It's a law of nature. Just like kids loving dinosaurs *g*
I think the new "Diddl" are those very simply drawn sheep.

I myself collect for the fun of it, this community, the great friends I made through it, the anticipation of a new doll and the joy of styling them.. for me, the money is gone the minute I spent it. I'm not feeling guilty, either.. most of my friends blow their money for concert tickets, alcohol, parties, sport clubs or football tickets.. so at least *I* have some dolls to show for it. ..sure, I might sell them off some day, but I don't plan like that, so I can freely play with them, restyle them, repaint them, etc. I throw away my boxes, too..

Yes ^^
I came for the ponies and stayed for MH (and the nice people here).
I think the only way of making good money with MH dolls right now is going for the SDCC exclusives and the boys. Gil skyrocketed from 25€ retail to over 100€ on German ebay within only one year.
If I was in it mostly for the money, I'd only buy Deuces, Gils and Holts, keep them for one or two years boxed and then put them on ebay.

I have great respect for the people on here who keep their dolls boxed. I'm so in love with the character designs of MH dolls that I just can't wait to have them in my hands, look at them from all angles, touch the hair and clothes (I'm starting to sound like a creep, lol!!) - leaving them in their boxes would drive me crazy.

I seriously love MLP and MH figures/dolls. Looking at or "playing" with them makes me so happy.
It's a bit weird since I really wasn't a doll girl when I was small. I had Barbies and such, but I never really played with them. My big childhood love were Steiff plushies and dinosaur figures (like I said, it is a law of nature, lol).

 i am not even familiar with diddle..   i think he was after my, time maybe..  maybe that is a good thing??

anyway,  i haven't seen a doll or line unique as MH in a long time. Thats why i like them and i think thats why they are soo popular.  i kinda think MH will stay collectable, to a certain degree, in some form or another.  sort of like alot of the toys from 80s  are collectable today.   they are the most unique toy line i have seen since the 80s.
 the 80s gave birth to alot of great toys in the 90s  it just seems like  there wasn't much innovation.   But now a days they are bringing back alot of the 80s lines..  there's a reason for that and that is  because those 80s toys were awesome and innovative for there time, they are still collectable to day , kids still enjoy them and   the childrern of the 80s are having kids so they  want there kids to  experience the awesomeness of  80s toys :)

 I think if  MH was around in the 80s  it would have even done well then, and still would have been around today , just like transformers,  MLP and other favorites :)

I decided to pop by Walmart tonight just for curiosity's sake. I wasn't too hopeful about Catrine, since she hasn't been found on the east coast yet, and I was right in assuming I wouldn't find her, her space was still empty, but I did find a lone Scaris Deuce pushed in the back of the basics shelf!  :biggrin:

Nice! Great find TrixieStix! :)

Yay for finding Deuce!! :freak:

Thanks everyone for helping me decide to definitely jump on the *Buy the boys* wagon! I also grabbed a Deuce....

My new babies!!

Sig Ghoulia is adorable too, love her outfit so I'm happy I could find her. She and Holt have funny loose hips but he's been standing on his own for 2 hours so I'm content.

I found Catrine!! I was really surprised they had her! They had about 4 of her, 1 PD Spectra and a billion DDG Lagoona. I couldn't find any other Scaris dolls besides her but I was so happy that she was there! After hearing she was spotted in Canada I've just been itching to go to Walmart.

Besides her totally glued hair I just adore her! I was so lucky to get a good face up (though from what I checked they all were pretty good) She is so beautiful and my first werecat! However I'm having a hard time with her tail. Seems to just stay in one position and wont bend.

Catrine has been spotted in the city 2 hours from me for sure, and there was a freaking ice storm here today, so I haven't been able to leave the house all day for black ice.  She's probably alllll over the shelves and someone with 4 wheel drive is rolling around in them.

I couldn't resist him, I was already buying the other two dudes so why not right?! He HAD HIS AVIATORS so I just melted. ^^;

Catrine's getting around the states but I checked ebay and in almost every state she's been spotted there's someone selling 5 of her. She'll come around that mountain when she comes~

My Walmart had barely any GR abbey, so lets hope they actually order lots of Catrine!

But.. It's just wishful thinking at this point. *sigh*

I just really don't need two more Purrsephone anad Meowlodys, but it'll be worth it for Toralei. Just may trade the other two off. Will be getting this eventually, that's for sure.

I'd be willing to pick up Werecat sets for people if I can find them.  My TRU had nothing yesterday, but I'll keep stalking them.  I'm really after Catrine right now though since I already own Toralei and the Twins.

Over the next few days I'm going to be posting a huge sales thread with MH, ponies, Disney dolls and more.  All my MH dolls in my sales will be MIB.

I was able to nab the new Werecat 3 pack at my Toys R Us today, so it is defenitely the real deal and they are so cute I had to get another pack to open for display :biggrin:

Congrats!!! How much was it? If you don't mind me asking.

They were $39.99 each, I will go back and check next week if they have anymore I will pick up a couple more incase someone here needs one :)

Nothing new near me. I'm trying not to panic, as Catrine is still very new and this new fearleading pack hasn't been out that long. I mean.... the odds are pretty good that they will get to me eventually.... right?  :blink:

I want this new fearleading pack so much!! I never got the other one, so I need it too. I feel so behind!

I've just been so busy that I can't keep up right now. Thanks for keeping me up-to-date guys.

Started a Werecat Fearleader 3-pack map, if anyone would like to contribute where you are finding them?? It seems like only a west coast thing right now.

Also, still looking for anyone who has found the Swim Class in stores. You can click on the link in my signature, so we don't muddy up this thread, or just send me a PM.

I called Walmart to see if they had Cartine in. I was put on hold forever and transferred to at least 3 different people. When they finally got a hold of someone in the toy department he didn't even check to see if they had any! He just told me that he wasn't sure what they had in and the I should just go to the store and see. UGH!

Is that common with all Walmarts or am I just lucky?

We couldn't haven gotten some kind of Roller Maze 3-pack with Clawd, Gil, and Deuce? No? Completely out of the question? I swear, Mattel just doesn't want us to own the boys.
I shal blindly hope for a wave 2 with some boys in it. And a rink/track for them to skate on.

I so loved this special... It was sooo cute. All the characters were great, but I still love Abbey the most. I don't like this line of dolls either, they just didn't grab me, but wow the special was adorable. Cleo even made me laugh and I don't normally like Cleo very much!

Yes a set of the boys would be AWESOME!!!!

I worked at wal-Mart once. It was common practice to put a person on hold, wait a minute or five, then pick the phone back up and apologetically announce that we did not have the item they were looking for in stock.

It sucks, but the employees HATE looking around that huge store.

I have also had bad experiences when I check out with my dolls - the employees feel the need to comment on how ugly these dolls are and they can't believe they are popular. If it weren't for exclusives I would never bother going there or calling because I can't stand rude customer service

that's why they WON'T hire you ... you are knowledgeable and that means they'd have to pay you more ...

this is OFTEN the train of thought at 99.999999999999999999999% of retail establishments ... they'd rather have unhelpful rude people there ony for the paycheck that they can get away with paying minimum wage instead of people who would LIKE to work there, know what they're atalking about, and be helpful ... people go there for low prices, not service ... :(

Not something I had though of. Hmmm... lol...

You know I was sitting here thinking... And I was browsing through some of the auctions on ebay that I had been watching, when I cam across one that had ended and it showed the icon... So I went to investigate... the auction had been at a decent price, but no one had bid on it.. So I was curious to what the seller had relisted it (thinking they might have lowered the price...) And so I clicked on the "seller has relisted this item" and the price had gone from $1800 with $50 for shipping (not bad right??) to $4500 with $50 for shipping  :shocked: I giggled to myself and thought... if no one bid on the $1800 auction... who in their right mind would pay $4500 for the exact same auction!! I was super interested in the auction but had no money when it ended, then went back to see it and there was no way I was going to pay that much!! it was for 80+ monster high dolls mint in box (not bad on the amount of dolls...) **EDIT** Completely forgot my question... Why is it that people think that if something doesnt sell for one price... that it will if they double or triple the cost... I just found it odd..  I understand that the appriciated value does continue to rise... but not that much in a matter of days  :blink:

Anyways... I just though I would share...

That's funny because used to I worked in a small family owned grocery store. When I went into Walmart people that shopped at the store would always ask me to help them since they could never get employees to do it. Even now I have people in Walmart ask me to help them when I obviously do not work there. I just think it's sad, but whatever I guess. :lol:

The other day I bought the white Celestia & Pinkie Pie set and the cashier made a comment about how she hates how the new ponies look and doesn't understand why they're popular. I collect all the gens, and I understand some people aren't into the G4s, but still, I think it's inappropriate to make comments like that to customers. This only happens at Walmart, though. When I buy MH, MLP or Hello Kitty stuff at Target, I don't get any rude comments, weird looks or anything. Occasionally I'll get a cashier who comments on something being cute, but it's never negative.

I haven't really had bad experiences with walmart. They've always checked stuff for me and always held things if I needed it. And coming from someone who worked at walmart, I personally helped everyone I could and went out of my way to help people. I also helped out in the photo department as well as connection center when I was supposed to only be an electronics associate. So while there are a lot of people who are less then helpful and make it clear they don't want to be there, not every associate is bad.

Anyway, while on the topic of walmart, Catrine still hasn't made it to MN. Here's hoping for tomorrow!

Didn't we talk about MH dreams a few weeks ago?
Last night I had one. Oh gods.

I dreamt that Mattel had fused with some other toy company and they would make Transformer-like water and hover crafts for MH dolls. But the dolls would be smaller and not as detailed. They could get into the vehicles and the vehicles could also transform to robot-mode, only the robots would each look similar to their doll companion in style and color scheme.

There were sets with Gil, Lagoona and an underwater craft that looked a bit like a futuristic submarine, a hover craft for Robecca and several deep sea thingies for Clawd, Frankie and Abbey.

WHAT THE HECK?! :nuts:

Unfortunately I have to disagree as I have received bad customer service from Target as well... I do however agree that Target des seem to be better than Walmart employees... Although **ALL** retail stores seem to have a level of "ignorance" (Im not sure that is the word I am looking for... possibly un-educatedness) as far as their employees in the toy section... Seeing as how they work there ~ALL THE TIME~ (as in their whole shift, for the most part) and that they see the sections every you would think they would be up to speed on things... but that sadly isnt the case... I get the most frustrated when you give a complete description... (for example: I am looking for DDG Spectra. She has a purple/dark purple polka dotted dress, and has her hair in a pony tail. The box looks like... blah blah blah... etc) and then they say yes we have this in... Would you like me to hold it? Of course everyone here would say yes please... (some would even double check). Then when you get there... it is not correct... How could you get it wrong.. I described EVERYTHING... lol... gah sometimes its just down right aggrivating... lol (Vent over)

In their defense... Monster High is super confusing if you're not into it. The fact that the same character with the same name appears in several different incarnations must make it tricky to tell these toys apart. I doubt that employees are intentionally misleading customers with their information.

I do not have any experience either way on this, because I usually just scout stores for the toys I'm looking for in person. It's good to have a non-work excuse to leave the house sometimes. :)

They went on a break until they can come to an agreement. Ever since, they just been friends.

The Claire thing came outta nowhere. She didn't show any interest in him until the end. I didn't really like that.

She said Holt was kind of cute and then Jackson was grossed out. That part was funny!

Yet she ends up kissing Jackson. I dunno didn't like that pairing at all.

I liked it because Jackson/Holt has such a hard time fitting in in the monster community, but Claire seemed to like him the way he is.  She thought Holt was cute and kissed Jackson.  She doesn't see them as two people and that's really what he needs.

Frankie and Jackson/Holt didn't work out because she couldn't handle the two of them, but with Claire's (the way I see Claire's) point of view he's just one guy.

But maybe I'm putting WAY too much thought into this :lol:

 I dunno when you put it like that it kinda makes sense.. To me anyways, I was hoping Frankie and Holt/Jackson could figure something out however I like how Claire sees him as one guy.. Who knows,Maybe they can share. Frankie with Holt and Claire with Jackson. :0)

Cannot believe I forgot to tell that I just got Ghoulia's scooter from Walmart online for $12 -$15.75 after shipping. I won't get it till feb 6 or so but I couldn't believe it. I was checking Walmart to see if they are going to put Catrine DewMew online or just have her in stores and there was the scooter on sale.. I have wanted it but was hesitant cause of the price, but for what they had it for I couldn't pass it up.. Very awesome  :)

I don't keep up with the webisodes, and I've only seen them once if I've seen them at all, so I'm not biased to any pairing.  I can understand how someone who watches the webisodes would be unhappy.  I think if you look at the bright side, though, we'll probably never see her again :lol:

My cannon of choice is the diaries.  It's a lot easier to keep track that way.  And I am lazy :biggrin:

Congrats on your deal:)  Always like seeing MH on sale once in awhile!

I dunno see I didn't take it as Frankie being unable to handle the two f them. I saw it more as the guys were having so many personal issues with each other they lacked any room for her. Oh well silly cartoons.

That's how I saw it too. To me it seemed like she saw them as one guy more than Claire did. Frankie helped both of them try to figure out who they were while Claire made Holt into Jackson before kissing him. That doesn't strike me as accepting both sides. But that's just my 2 cents.

I had a dream last night :P It wasn't a very long dream and I don't remember a lot of it. I ended up finding the Werecats fearleading pack at TRU and when I got home and opened it up I was upset because I remembered that I really wanted PG Toralei instead (I'm trying to be a one doll per character collector and I've only broke that rule once so far). I also was upset because I would have to figure out how to sell the twins on the Arena (I've never sold anything :blush: ) and I didn't think anyone would want them. I also decided that I wanted to get Toralei's stock for her to wear. And then I woke up :blink:

As I said, I don't keep up with the webisodes.  You both make very good points.  I have the worst memory and the webisodes go by so quick, I hardly get anything from them :lol:  They are over before I get a chance to process them:)

Usually when something bugs me I just need to come up with a reason things are what they are, and then I'm over it:)  I guess that was my reasoning :lol:

I can't remember any of my other genius reasonings ATM, or I'd give you some examples :lol:  I think I'll have a look-see and try to find some.  They are wacky, just like me :nuts:

Late-night Mattel recent trademark check ....

Filed 1/18/2013

"Sunshine Beach" - doubtful it's for MH (also 'Ultimate Summer Vacation', 'Holiday Surprise' and 'Glam Patio Party', but ya never know...)
"Die-ner" - sounds familiar (grin)
"Elissabat" - hmmmm....
"Lab Partners" - also familiar
"Swirling Snow Sled" - probably Hot Wheels, but Abbey raised an eyebrow. It's registered under 'doll' instead of 'toy vehicles', so...
"Viperine Gorgon" - oooh....
"Sweetheart Halloween" - I wish.

Grab your beverage of choice and discuss !
(grabs cookie Hubby made and settles in)

Yay 2 new "Signature" dolls to release!

Maybe the new swimline is named Sunshine Beach and all the other stuff under it are accessories to come out with it.

That seems rather odd that they'd release a signature gorgon on the heels of the CAM gorgon, but who knows. Maybe the gorgon CAM has been selling really good?

Post by: michelle53 on January 28, 2013, 05:33:13 AM
The gorgon CAM is probably my favorite CAM!  She's such a beautifully designed monster.  I'm wondering if Essabat is going to be one of those bat-eared girls like at the end of Escape from Skull Shores.  I know I'd prefer a doll like that over another vampire.

I kinda think it's fair game with the Gorgon made into a Main Character/line, just like how some of the main characters got their CAM Counterpart made and Vice versa:
Clawdeen -> Werewolf CAM,
Draculaura -> Vampire CAM,
Skelita <- Skeleton CAM,
Jinafire <- Dragon CAM

I was kinda expecting this to happen eventually and I'm actually kinda glad! They already made molds made for these monsters, why not use them again!? XD

I'm really excited about Viperine. I had wanted the Gorgon CAM, but since the trademark popped up for an official female gorgon character, I've decided I'm going to hold off. I'm assuming she's Deuce's sister, so it'll be interesting to see what age she is/body mold they use for her.

Belgium and France are reportedly getting re-releases of signature Frankie, Clawdeen, and Draculaura shipped to stores right now. The packaging is  international and only displays these three characters in the artwork on the back, so no Lagoona, but hopefully there's plans to bring them back here as well. :) I believe that the boxes are also dated for this year.

Also, just a heads up that there's a picture of a fan-made Howleen being passed around on tumblr, claiming it's an authentic doll from the "Color Me Creepy" line (Color Me Creepy is officially a CAM set).  The picture is actually a mock-up of the Howleen doll that had images leaked from the 13 Wishes line, placed in a fan-made box, so don't be fooled. ;)

That's clawdeena's work. I saw it on Flickr. I'm not surprised someone in his crowd is trying to pass it off as genuine. Matt is upset because someone said he's trying to pull one over on MH Expert.

Oh to be young and carefree enough to be able to feud with people about silly things!  :P

I wonder if they'd re-release the wave 1 girls here eventually. It would make sense since there's new fans of the dolls that missed them, plus the characters are always shown in their signature outfits in the webisodes. I'm sure there are lots of people who want them but can't afford eBay prices for them.

I know I'd love to be able to buy wave 1 Frankie in the store, just for her outfit. Way back when they first came out, I kept picking her up and almost buying her, but then I'd change my mind. I didn't want to start another collection at that point, but now that I am buying MH, I'm kind of kicking myself for not buying her. I love her signature outfit. I wish Ghouls Alive Frankie had the exact same outfit as sig Frankie, because I'd just buy her.

This is completely random, but I keep reading gorgon girl as 'popcorn girl.' I have no clue why, but thought some of you might find it amusing XD

On that note though, I'm excited about the Viperine trademark thing as well. I love the gorgon CAM and hope to find her - haven't seen any of the new CAMs in my area yet, or a lot of the newer dolls really. I've seen none of the basic Scaris, only 1 DC doll - Operetta. I think my area is slow. But yeah, love the new CAMs, and an official gorgon girl is exciting :3
