LOVED the MH marathon last night!  Me and the girls watched 4? specials and I finally feel caught up!

yay new thread

I wanted to watch the specials yesterday, but my fiance had a MASSIVE migraine when we got back from church, so I left the TV off for the better part of the day so he could rest. Luckily we're caught up on specials in this house xD

I really hope I can get out to TRU this month or the month after (er, February/March I mean) and snag a werecat 3-pack... or I find Catrine on the 5th/9th. Having my own spending cash burns a hole in my account so fast it isn't even funny...

I DVR'd the specials since I had to leave for work after the first one. I love them! <3

Page 100?! I was only on page 30! :P

Anyway, about the Sig re-releases:
-The fan inside of me is all like: "Yay!!! Re-releases so everyone can get one who missed out overseas! (Maybe even here!!)" :lol:
-The Collector inside of me is all like: "Ohh crap...if they re-release them again, this could bring down the value of my MiBs!!" :shocked:
-The regular me is all like: "IF the value goes down, I can finally open all of them and even open the High School Playset all at once!! Or maybe I can rebuy the new ones and open those instead!" :huh:

It's like a battle between my Id, Ego, & Super Ego in my head!! >,<; :freak:

I love bats, so the name "Elissabat" has me excited. ^.^

I've been religiously stalking my Walmarts. No Catrine yet. I'm sure it'll be Feb before she's here, but I'm still checking anyway.  :P

This this this!! Mainly the Elissabat part (so exciting! Also, I want that to be my name.), but also obsessively checking for (and failing to find) Catrine. :P

I really hope they do re-releases again here soon! I would really like a re-release of Lagoona because it's not like I don't need more Lagoonas. :lol: I would love a re-release of Wave 1 Cleo and Deuce as well as DotD!

I'm not too happy with the boy CAM clothes and two of them need shoes. Where do you buy clothes for your dolls? Im sorry if this was posted before, i tried the search engine but couldn't find anything :(

Gah, new thread already?
Saw the news about the new trademarks. "Elissabat", mh? In case she's another vampire character, I hope she will look very different from Draculaura (can we please have a vampire with dark skin?)
I saw that Bratzillaz have a vampire character now... maybe Mattel wants to double the fangs because of this?

As for the Gorgon lady... mh, Deuce's cousin/sister? Maybe I shouldn't get the gorgon CAM then. But she is so beautiful! :cry:

There are a lot of etsy sellers that do custom clothes. I also have heard that bratz dolls clothes fit the MH dolls.

**On a side note my Walmart is selling Winx purse/shoe/wing packs for like a dollar in case anyone is looking for extra accesories. I will upload pics as I got all 3 packs just to see if they would fit monster high... (disclaimer** they are a bit snug as MH dolls toes are slightly spread, but they do fit and they are cute  :biggrin: )

I tend to hit up the stores on the way home from picking up or dropping off my kids... lol... The walmart by my house has taken down Catrines sticker but I know she is on order there... so may be they are clearing out and resetting a little bit....  :( At least thats my hope :)

mejohnson85 I totally picked up Flora's pack since it went down to $1.48 and figured I'd at least try the shoes on Howleen so I'm glad to hear they fit! Yay for clearance...

Haven't seen Catrine here yet, found one store had her tag but nothing anyway. :( I think she's super cute and I want that 3pack! 

This is Mattel throwing werecats at us :throw: and yet I just can't wait to buy more! I can't help it if I want Toralei with her cute short hair cut. I'll take all dem kitties!

Pretty sure the people at the same Walmarts I call every morning are getting real sick of me. When they put the number into their telzon (sp??) They realize its me and always say "nope, she's stillll not in" :lol:

Anyone else planning on spending some of their tax return check on MH dolls?

I'm going to hunt down the new pack with Toralei and hopefully find Catrine. I freakin' love the werecats. I'd be happy if the whole line was werecats, truth be told. They remind me of the Catwalk Kitties that I also collect and love so much.

Me!!!!!!!!!!!! I think my husband is going to disown me... But I must have all that I can find... Also I found a guy on ebay who had almost the entire set for sale... Minus a couple of the big ticket ones like Gil, Holt, and DotD Deuce and such. Here is the list of ones he says he has MIB (he said he has picked up more and so I asked him for an updated list as his auction was over almost 3 months ago)

Wave 1: Clawdeen, Draculaura, Frankie, Lagoona and Deuce/Cleo
Wave 2: Abbey, Clawdeen, Cleo, Frankie,Ghoulia, Lagoona, Spectra and Clawd/Draculaura
Wave 3: Nefera, Operetta, Toralei, Purrsephone/Meowlody and Calwdeen/Howleen
Wave 4: Jackson, Robecca, Venus and Rochelle
Classroom Collection: Lagoona, Ghoulia, Frankie
DotD: Cleo
Dead Tired Wave 1: Cleo, Draculaura, Ghoulia, Frankie
Dead Tired Wave 2: Abbey, Clawdeen, Draculaura
DDG: Spectra, Operetta, Lagoona and the 3 pack (Abbey, Draculaura and Ghoulia)
Ghoul's Rule: Draculaura, Clawdeen, Cleo, Abbey
Fearleading: Cleo, Draculaura, Ghoulia
Gloom Beach: Clawdeen, Cleo, Draculaura, Ghoulia, Frankie, Jackson (I can only assume the girls are from the 5 pack)
Killer Style: Clawdeen and Operetta
Scary Tales (Scarily Ever After): Clawdeen, Draculaura, Frankie
Skull Shores: Abbey, Draculaura, Frankie, Ghoulia, Lagoona, Cleo, Clawdeen
SKRM: Frankie, Lagoona, Ghoulia, Operetta
Sweet 1600: Cupid, Clawd, Draculaura, Frankie
Scaris: Jinafire, Skelita, Rochelle

Fashion packs: Draculaura, Clawdeen, Frankie, Deuce, Cleo, Lagoona, Abbey, Toralei, Ghoulia, Spectra (Cleo and Ghoulia have only had 1 fashion pack release... so I know which ones those are, the others I do not...)

**He says he has a classroom Draculaura, but I didnt think they were released.... So I am not quite sure which one he is talking about... )

He pm'd me and told me that he would accept any reasonable offer... So my question to you all is... What is this collection worth... He had it listed for $1800 and it didnt sell... So what should I offer if I was to purchase it... Any ideas?? Thanks guys!! Sorry this is sych a lengthy post... but an response whether it be a PM or on here is greatly appreciated...

I'm trying to keep my tax return for the MLP Fair. I was jobless for the first half of the year so my tax return won't be that great. Especially since I'm working on average 20 hours a week. The only dolls I'm really look for that are out now are Basic Venus, Swim Venus, two Swim Lagoonas and PD Cleo.

As for older dolls, I really don't want to spend a lot on them so I'm just going to not get them.

Some ideas for dressing your boyfiends -

Barbie pants and jeans - if you can find some without lace, glitter, or pink on 'em anywhere - fit the male dolls pretty well. A bit loose, but length is good and they can sit down without giving the ghouls a 'two moon junction'. I tend to move the Velcro or snaps to snug the waist in a bit, but often, it's not really necessary.

I've had some success getting the biggest of the Ken shoes to fit the guys, too. The bigger and squishier, the better the chances of fit are. Those loafers usually don't fit, but the 'sports' sandals often do. If it's slightly too tight, but mostly fits, soak the shoes in boiling water for a minute or two, then while they're still hot, carefully put them on a spare doll's feet (perfect use for extra CAM legs !) and let cool. I've had great luck with 'custom fitting' some snug pairs, and have yet to have any split. They also tend to keep that slightly expanded fit even after you take 'em off.

Here's Scaris Deuce now, in a pair of jeans from a $3. blow-mold knockoff Barbie doll from Dollar General and a pair of boil-soaked Ken fashion sandals.

Hope that helps you with the boys !

I've can find her pretty easily, but most of them have bad make up and I need to be saving my money for a new car and the MLP fair so I'm waiting 'til I build up some more funds to justify buying a few $20 and $15 dolls. :lol: Thank you so much for the offer though! I just wish she was one of the PD dolls that were on sale for $11. I would have jumped on that so hard!

Though, I may not get Basic Venus if her Swim doll is basically the same. I'll just dress her up in some fun clothes.

Gee. Thanks.  :blush: I love these dolls, but I can't justify paying $40+ on dolls that are only a couple of years old because of the demand. Maybe I'll have luck and find some on craigslist or in a thrift store. I have most of the older dolls that I want, but there are some that I passed up and wish I didn't like Wave 1 Deuce, DotD Deuce and DotD Cleo, but such is life. :)

My hope is that Elissabat is Draculaura's little sister and is Howleen sized. Howleen needs friends. Same with Viperene- Deuce's lil sis. I want the bright yellow hair Lagoona to be Lagoona's lil sis and smaller. Anybody else hoping for a little sister line?

No tax return money going to dollies here. We get to put money into my dental implant and the rest into savings (booorrrinngg!).

Well I guess that's not 100% true, hubby and I never got eachother Christmas presents this year so we will be doing that with tax money.. and THAT will be going to doll stuffs, I forgot about that.

Little sisters would be cute, but I want some older siblings too! I love Nefera and she needs some more fashions...but mostly shoes~

Also I'd adore some dolls made of  Valentine, Heath, Billy, Romulus, Andy, and maybe even the Ghouls Rule trio of Chad, Claire and Lilith Van Hellscream.  Chad's a little normal but LILITH would be a lot of fun to have around~

That would be so cute! I do think we need more Howleen-sized dolls. Same with Nefera-sized ones (although I am going to assume H-Bloodgood will be her size).
I wanna saw Clawdeen has other sisters besides Howleen, right? They could easily make dolls of them. Even "little brother" ones.  xD

Man, the old thread is done already!  I cannot wait to find Catrine.  I wanted to check for her today but I am in the hospital so I may have to wait a few days.  I have been tempted to call but I would hate for them to say that they have her and then not be able to go get her.  I hope Viperine is Howleen sized as well.  That would be neat to have a few dolls of the same size and some fashion packs.  I think Nefera needs at least a FP.  Has anyone noticed that Howleen's calves seem to be thicker than the older girls?

I am excited for this years coming doll lines.  Especially for some new Cleos and boys and the 13 wishes line.  I so seriously hope that they re-release the first wave signature dolls here!  I want Frankie, Cleo and Lagoona!  Not a huge fan of Clawdeen but who knows, I may like her in real life.  I just really want her necklace.  I have been trying to get a hold of a Wave 1 Cleo on eBay but keeping get outbid.  I think I have lost out on 4 dolls in the last couple of days.

Ya know, the more I look at Scaris Deuce, the more I want him. I'm not fond of the MH boy dolls at all usually, but he has a very cute expression. And even though I prefer 'real' hair, I like the green....thing... on his head.

I probably won't have enough luck to run into him, but if I do, I think I'll get him.

This!!! would be something I'd like to see. :P Plastic Curves basically has her wing design and possibly her wing horns.

I wouldn't mind making my OC MH Succubus either, if I had the talent/skill in customizing. :P

Mind reader! :P I've been wanting to make a pony Morrigan and thought a MH custom to go with her would be so cute!

Aka.....do it! You'd do a fantastic job!

I really like the Horned Girl too, but antlers eeeh love that idea!

Congrats on Deuce, octocorn! I still haven't seen any of the basic Scaris dolls, let alone Deuce.

From the first day I opened her,  thought Rochelle didn't have the seepage problem, just discovered it tonight, so I'll have to go find me some of that tea tree oil.

I'm wondering and I'm sure some are wondering too:

Ever since Rochelle's release: Who else, after her, has had a case of the glue seepage flare up?? Just curious. Any signs from Venus or Robecca? My Venus doesn't seem to have it. Anyone mention anything about Jinafire/Skelita having the seepage problem ever since they came out?

(I'll post this in the Glue Seepage thread too, in case they don't see this thread.)

Also grats on finding Deuce Octo! I'm still searching for one for whoever needs him here with still no luck. >,<;

Emphasis on hopefully. I haven't taken my Jinafire's head off to see if she has any glue. I can, however, report that my sig Rochelle is still glue seepage free! The only ones I've encountered glue seepage with were my classroom Frankie and GB Clawdeen, neither of which I still have.

Thanks. I'm a lapsed fan, insofar as I was big into it back in college, but haven't really kept up with it in years. I still have a Cheat sticker on my car, and I still occasionally wear my old Trogdor t-shirt, but that's about it. I stopped checking out the site for new stuff back around the time they stopped making SB e-mails in order to focus on their Wii game or whatever. I have no idea what they've been up to since.

That being said, though, my 7 year-old did see my new avatar this morning and asked to watch the Trogdor e-mail again. We ended up watching a few of the old ones. 

So yeah, I still like it, I just haven't kept up with it in a long time. It's just not the same without the group of guys I used to watch and quote it with ad nauseum at college. :huh:

I am customizing a Jinafire and she definitely had the sticky glue problem. Half of the glue in her head was rock hard and the other half was the sticky goo.

Anyone else planning on spending some of their tax return check on MH dolls?

I'm going to hunt down the new pack with Toralei and hopefully find Catrine. I freakin' love the werecats. I'd be happy if the whole line was werecats, truth be told. They remind me of the Catwalk Kitties that I also collect and love so much.

Me!!!!!!!!!!!! I think my husband is going to disown me... But I must have all that I can find... Also I found a guy on ebay who had almost the entire set for sale... Minus a couple of the big ticket ones like Gil, Holt, and DotD Deuce and such. Here is the list of ones he says he has MIB (he said he has picked up more and so I asked him for an updated list as his auction was over almost 3 months ago)

Wave 1: Clawdeen, Draculaura, Frankie, Lagoona and Deuce/Cleo
Wave 2: Abbey, Clawdeen, Cleo, Frankie,Ghoulia, Lagoona, Spectra and Clawd/Draculaura
Wave 3: Nefera, Operetta, Toralei, Purrsephone/Meowlody and Calwdeen/Howleen
Wave 4: Jackson, Robecca, Venus and Rochelle
Classroom Collection: Lagoona, Ghoulia, Frankie
DotD: Cleo
Dead Tired Wave 1: Cleo, Draculaura, Ghoulia, Frankie
Dead Tired Wave 2: Abbey, Clawdeen, Draculaura
DDG: Spectra, Operetta, Lagoona and the 3 pack (Abbey, Draculaura and Ghoulia)
Ghoul's Rule: Draculaura, Clawdeen, Cleo, Abbey
Fearleading: Cleo, Draculaura, Ghoulia
Gloom Beach: Clawdeen, Cleo, Draculaura, Ghoulia, Frankie, Jackson (I can only assume the girls are from the 5 pack)
Killer Style: Clawdeen and Operetta
Scary Tales (Scarily Ever After): Clawdeen, Draculaura, Frankie
Skull Shores: Abbey, Draculaura, Frankie, Ghoulia, Lagoona, Cleo, Clawdeen
SKRM: Frankie, Lagoona, Ghoulia, Operetta
Sweet 1600: Cupid, Clawd, Draculaura, Frankie
Scaris: Jinafire, Skelita, Rochelle

Fashion packs: Draculaura, Clawdeen, Frankie, Deuce, Cleo, Lagoona, Abbey, Toralei, Ghoulia, Spectra (Cleo and Ghoulia have only had 1 fashion pack release... so I know which ones those are, the others I do not...)

**He says he has a classroom Draculaura, but I didnt think they were released.... So I am not quite sure which one he is talking about... )

He pm'd me and told me that he would accept any reasonable offer... So my question to you all is... What is this collection worth... He had it listed for $1800 and it didnt sell... So what should I offer if I was to purchase it... Any ideas?? Thanks guys!! Sorry this is sych a lengthy post... but an response whether it be a PM or on here is greatly appreciated...

Well, if you go by the low ball amount that each doll is worth about $15 alone, and the fashion pack is $5, then add in the inflation onf the Cleo/Deuce and Clawd/Draculaura two packs, as well as the inflation on Toralei.. I have no idea what the inflation on the others is like.. $1600 seems like it would be barely acceptable. I don't blame him for asking $1800, but really, he should break it down into smaller lots, or individual sales. Not a lot of people have a huge chunk of money to spend all at once like that.



Wow, yeah! She's cute! She looks like a frozen shade from Castlevania or something.

I'm sure I'm not the only person with massive amounts of love for "Horned Girl" either :heart:

I plan on using some tax money on MH I have a small list of things I am gonna be hopefully buying-
Bee Girl CAM
Blue and Yellow CAM Torso/upper limb combos
Fur Wigs- atleast 3 of them
OH and I have a wig vendor on ebay that is going to sell me some Liv Wigs
Etsy clothing- 2-3 of them
Clawd- if I can find him at a decent price
Catrine DeMew
Werecat Sisters- I want them in their original outfits
and a few reroots- either myself or buy the service depending on how much money I have
and a spare Tor  or the Super Villain Tor(hopefully in used condition) so I can reroot her in long hair- anyone else think her and her band of misfits remind you of Pizazz and the Misfits from Jem and the Holograms?

I'll be doing our taxes this weekend, which means I'll hopefully be getting a refund in about 10 days after that.  Traditionally, we take a bit for ourselves and do stuff with it that we've wanted.  I'm hoping to get the werecat trio, and to get the last part of my My Little Pony tattoo sleeve outlined.

Post by: Dorriebelle on January 29, 2013, 05:44:55 AM

Most of our miniscule tax refund's going to Beloved Hubby's education and just plain living expenses, but
in June, I get some 'me' money, and I am going to hunt down and buy the one doll that has always eluded me,
that I've never seen on a retail shelf anywhere, that I still really, really want after all this time - DoTD Deuce.

Can you tell I'm really looking forward to it ? (grin) I'm hoping prices come down a bit more after how redonkulous
they got during Christmas.

I've enjoyed reading everyone's fun fund plans, schemes, and daydreams ! Keep 'em comin', ya'll !

A new thread already!  So I think I'm going to slow down my MH buying and stick to only buying characters I don't already own.  So that pretty much means Catrine right now.  I'd make an exception for the werecat Fearleading pack.  And Swim Venus.  And Cat-Tastrophy.  And 13 wishes Howleen.

Dang nab it.  Just when I think I'm out...

I still have quite a few dolls that I want from the Scaris, PD, DC, and swim lines, plus the CAMs...I want to be able to have some dolly downtime before more new stuff comes out. XD

I'm hoping they will reveal the second wave of PD dolls which are supposed to be out very shortly. I think they are supposed to be out this spring. If most of it's for the fall, you will have plenty of time between now and then. :lol:

Can't wait to see if anything new will pop up for MH! Although a part of me is hoping that's all they'll have and not too many new things. >,<; Too fast to keep up!

I'm more interested in seeing other lines I collect and see if they're getting anything new, like Moxie Girlz.

I found this cute MH Valentines Day mail box for valentines to go into, it came with stickers and 4 markers. As soon as I got home and opened it, it was a mess! It looked like one of the pens exploded and got ink in several spots of the inside and the back of one of the stickers, and something that looked like MOLD?! The stickers felt pretty moist even though there wasn't any ink on them. >_< I think I'll probly make a black envelope and use the stickers on it and use it as a MH fund box or something. >,>; Kinda dissapointed ESP with the added mold. Wtf!! $3.25 down the drain

YES.  I am a picky collector.  Nevertheless, I found a PERFECT mad science Lagoona, one of the Lagoonas I want the most, at Walmart a month or so ago and had to pass on her because I didn't have enough money (she was regular price).  I doubt I'll ever see her again!

I had a MH dream last night!  In it, I was shopping at Toys R Us and I found a Picture Day Operetta (a doll I am really, really looking forward to and not sure I'll be able to afford) for $5!  They also had an Operetta in a pink swimsuit for $5.  I wanted them both but only got the PD one because the swimsuit one had really crooked eyes. XD  I am even picky in my dreams lol.

You seriously have all the luck!!!!

LOL, well I knew they were coming. The Puyallup store was nice enough to have a set transferred from Everett and they called me today to let me know it arrived. Since kiddo was off from school today we took a trip there and picked it up. Also stopped at the Walmart there, but no Catrine :(

Can't wait to see what gets displayed at the toy fair. Though...I'm -kinda- hoping that not all of the lines that have been announced/leaked so far are going to be for this fall. I still have quite a few dolls that I want from the Scaris, PD, DC, and swim lines, plus the CAMs...I want to be able to have some dolly downtime before more new stuff comes out. XD

I'm hoping they will reveal the second wave of PD dolls which are supposed to be out very shortly. I think they are supposed to be out this spring. If most of it's for the fall, you will have plenty of time between now and then. :lol:

I hope so. XD I've had to force myself to space out my buying a lot, since online shopping makes it easy to go overboard...which is why I decided to make a rule for myself not to do it. But...I've recently found that there are instances where ordering from stores in the US that will ship to Canada is cheaper than buying dolls in a physical store here (WalMart has new deluxe dolls for $30+tax and slim box ones for $20+tax...crazy...). So...taking it slow and being careful. Hopefully I'll have gotten what I want before too long so I can have a break over the summer. XD

Heat some water to boiling let it sit for a few seconds and toss him in.  The hot water will pop him back into his proper shape and he will stand just fine after that.  I did it to my tippy guy and now I can't knock him over if I try. Just make sure there is enough water to cover him and to allow him to move around a bit.

A new thread already!  So I think I'm going to slow down my MH buying and stick to only buying characters I don't already own.  So that pretty much means Catrine right now.  I'd make an exception for the werecat Fearleading pack.  And Swim Venus.  And Cat-Tastrophy.  And 13 wishes Howleen.

Dang nab it.  Just when I think I'm out...

His Legs are actually Bendable if you dare to try. I have two of him and they are moveable to attempt to make him stand better.

Just noticed this myself. Toralei, Ghoulia, and Jackson are there too. It's probably nothing to get excited over - old product pages might have gotten put up by accident. Doesn't mean I'm not signing up for email alerts just in case they are being re-released though. XD

I seriously love these girls, and am really excited about the prospect of rereleases!

Loyally stalking my surrounding WalMarts for Catrine, but they only have the tags up.  We have a pretty nice selection of PD and Scaris (and a smattering of Dance Class) in my neck of the woods if anybody needs help with such.

Rereleases! Dun dun.....I mean they were in Europe just recently and someone found those three (Tora, Clawdeen and another doll) on shelves in California.  I don't think it'd be that farfetched since they already have all the materials to make em again.

I just got holt used though man!  :P  I'd totally just spend more money getting a new one with new hands/hips hahaha.

Still can't believe how "short" he was out. I thought he was going to be like Holt and be around for a while. Guess not. :(
I'd like to say that because of Gil (even though I have him), I've made myself a rule that if I see a MH guy doll that I like on a store shelf, buy it [assuming I have the funds to do so]. I ain't having another "Holt" repeat. ;_;

Manchester is about 30 minutes away from me!  I'm going to be at the Verizon Center on Saturday for Disney on Ice.  The TRU closest to me is Salem NH, and they hadn't gotten any in yet.  Actually, the people there had never seen the Werecat set.  I showed them the ended eBay auction with the UPC receipt as proof!  Hopefully they'll show up soon.

Times like this are when I really dislike living in New Mexico. While everyone has had the Scaris lines for MONTHS, I've only ever seen any Scaris dolls TWICE! And they were either Rochelle and Clawdeen, so that was pretty disappointing. But of course all we've had for the last six months has been either Scary Tales or Ghouls Rule.

I just ordered some mohair from a site, but question is how do I space the holes on the CAM head to ensure it's going to look good once I have all the hair in? I tried doing a CAM already with some saran, but the plugs look so spaced out and gives her such a horrible look. Please let me know, if I can't figure it out I might just make her a skull cap wig, which I am not too keen on because sometimes those look doofy.

Post by: Maniah on January 30, 2013, 11:57:46 PM
Take one of your monster high dolls that came with hair, and pullt he hair aside to look down to the roots. Look at how it is done on the actual doll, and that should give you a good idea of how to do it on your own doll. And with the Mohair.. I haven't worked with it myself, but it seems fairly fluffy. It might fluff out enough from the plug hole to spread and cover more space visually. Saran is very straight and likes to cling to itself, so it makes sense that the hair looked thin with the saran.

I have no idea if any of that was helpful to you, but I hope some of it was :)

Yes thank you that does help greatly. I just worry that the holes on the scalp up around the face will look like a receding hair line when I am done. But I will give it a go like you mentioned, maybe I can add more holes if need be. Now just gotta wait for the hair to arrive. Its a lovely black with mixes of plumb in it.

I have zero to no luck at TRU and Target.  I think it was at TRU I saw him leave with all the Skelitas and Jinafires a while back.  ALL.  Not sure he hits Walmart or knows when they stock.  I swim at 5 am and pass it on the way home at 7 ish.  24 hour Walmart so stop and check every other week or so.  Only place I've gotten dolls lately

Something I just discovered: Cleo and Nefera are too old to be Egyptians. Cleo's age is given as being ~5842 years and Nefera says she's three years older. That would mean they were born in the 3820s BC, but the civilization we know as Ancient Egypt didn't form until the 3100s. Oops!
Well, technically that just means she was born before Egypt unified. People started living near the Nile like... 100,000-140,000 years ago.

I bought a DC howleen from a guy on eBay that said was local delivery only and he admitted that when he hears releases are coming e goes in and gets a whole bunch... And then sells them on eBay for what he paid and possibly a bit more... Not outrageous prices... But still... Give us other peeps some time to attempt to get stuff... Lol...

Yeah- I have almost given up hope at our Target- I know we are getting good stuff and I used to have some luck if I got there by 7:30-  but the Scalpers who prowl the area have become even more fierce and I think they must wait outside the doors in the morning.    Booooo
Can I ask which target are you referring to?? The downtown Seattle one??

Yes! That one-   of course I didn't check today after a long run of bad luck and probably today was the day they had my Deuce! lol

I know the Targets out of town are more likely to have stuff, but I rarely have the time to drive out there :P

Mwahaha, my fiance said if he can get someone to take us to the store this weekend (living off bottled water sucks, let me tell you) I can get a doll for my birthday <3! Hopefully I find little miss kitty, otherwise I think I'll finally get PD Cleo. That or shove Spectra into my fiance's hands and yell at him that seeing him happy makes me happy.

Best case though is they have some of the basics I want... or one I want and one he wants. Been a while since I was at my Walmart and I don't they had reset yet xD

My Walmart said she's in transit, and should show up tonight or tomorrow, and they said they're getting 12. Since everyone else is getting 6, I hope she was looking at the right thing? I gave her Catrine's UPC so we'll see!

Went looking for Catrine today and came up empty. It looks like my local store hasn't gotten in anything new, so I decided to go a bit farther out to check another area in which they were popping up on ebay. I thought I knew where said store was, but I ran into some construction, got lost and never found it, lol, oh well.

Might check back at my local store tomorrow. I really wish she was listed in their online database already, it would make finding her so much easier.

I have seen here popping up more often at Target now that they are getting the DC case in. She's still popular and goes fast like Deuce.

I just got the word that my PD Abbey, the Walmart sale~~~, is in today so maybe I can find someone to ask about Caterine! I have the UPC code from the other store so hopefully it works.

I'll send out my friendly frequency

They need to stitch in some undies like the Bratzillaz pink skirt!

....I just got a poor nude Toralei with her original bendy tail for like $5. I have a TORALEI.

I have her in those news print tights too! I'm not usually one to worry about the length of the skirts, but it was less a modesty move and more the fact that it looks like its missing something. I do really like the fashion pack though.

Tuesday my roommate and I headed to the nearest TRU (Which is about an hour away) to look for the Werecats double pack, but they were sold out but getting a new shipment in the next day... so we asked for two sets to be set aside, hoping his mom could grab them for us since she sometimes works in that city. Unfortunately she wouldn't be working that day so we ended up driving back there again the next day, just to grab the dolls. XD But we saw they also had the three pack in with the fear leading uniforms so we grabbed those instead! It made me full of happy... even if it did cost me thirty dollars in gas. @_@

So I went to work today at the Walmart and scoped out the MH section as always, no Catrine. But on my lunch break I grabbed a DC Operetta and her 2 pack fashion pack. I almost got Ghoulia's fashion pack instead, but I just wanted her earrings. So I passed on it. They had all a huge amount of the fashion packs though, singles and double packs. I was tempted not to get the doll and just get fashions, but I am trying to hold out for my tax return to go crazy lol.
On a side note, I was doing my job as a cashier and a couple came through the line and the lady had a huge box of MH in her cart from site to store. I asked if they were MH and the husband smiled and said yes, the wife said she bought them online because they were on sale. I nodded and said, yea they were a great price. Then they left... made me wonder if they were scalpers or the wife was a collector.

 :shocked: so my Operetta has a gash in her thigh, looks like where the leg was detatched from the machine that makes the leg or something. I wrote Mattel, hoping they can do something. The store only had 2 of her and I picked the prettiest one, the other one just didn't have a pretty face. Poor girl, she's gonna have a hard time dancing.

That is how I feel.  I've been checking my two local Wal-marts every day since I saw a single Catrine walking away with someone else.  That is the only one of her I've seen so far, and it breaks my heart that I didn't get to the store 5 minutes sooner, as she is the one doll I've been anticipating more than any other.  At least the kid who got her was a collector and not just some brat who will throw Catrine around or something.  That's the only thing that's been consoling me.

I am so thrilled too! I was at wal-mart when Maddy called me, and I had JUST complained to my husband about them still not having Catrine, when she called like 1 sec later. I am so so so happy! I've kept a small portion of money aside for Catrine, and had just been about to give it up and put it toward a different purchase, so the call came in good time :)

Catrine has shown up in Phoenix too! :biggrin: My husb called me from Walmart this morning.

Husb: "What is that doll you're looking for?"
Me: "Catrine Demew."
H: "What version?"
Me: "She's brand new, there's only one. It's Scaris."
H: "Oh, I'm surprised it's not Rochelle."
Me: "Yeah, no."
H: "Why not?"
Me: "I have her other doll already. The Scaris one isn't on my top list of priorities."
H: "What about Deuce Gordon?"
Me: "You found a Deuce?! YOU found a Deuce?" (I've been keeping an eye peeled every day I stalk 2 Walmarts & have never seen one. I don't collect the guys, but I thought I'd look for other people.)
H: "Yeah. They have a Frankenstein and a gold Japanese girl too."

Lol, I asked him if the Deuce looked ok and told him to look at the eye paint. I didn't realize Catrine was there too. He was like, "Well good thing you told me because they only have one good Catrine. The rest of the eyes are missing chips of paint or have smears." I was like, "WHAT? CATRINE IS THERE? AHHH!" :lol:

I found Catrine! They had just put them out!

Where did you find her? What I mean is which Wal Mart?!

Bristol va! The tn side should have gotten them last night, but they hadn't put them out by 11:30, so they're either out now or later tonight if I had to guess

Oh! And I missed a few pages ago when you asked me about deuce, I found him at turkey creek target in Knoxville. I haven't seen one in any of the stores here yet, and I toy hunt pretty regularly.

Well I called Walmart and the guy I talked to sounded like a radio host.
I've been in bed all week so I haven't been able to go out..  I still have doubts that he checked so I kind of want to go out and check...

He got me the good Catrine. He hates spending money so he didn't get anything else. I'll be going back after work to see if the Deuce "Gordon" is decent to help someone else out. I'll look at the Catrines too, to see if he was exaggerating. ^.^ Here's to hoping they'll still be there!

Omg hooray my wife found Catrine! She said they have six, so enough that Maniah and I will have one now.

-does her I have Catrine dance-

I am so thrilled too! I was at wal-mart when Maddy called me, and I had JUST complained to my husband about them still not having Catrine, when she called like 1 sec later. I am so so so happy! I've kept a small portion of money aside for Catrine, and had just been about to give it up and put it toward a different purchase, so the call came in good time :)
It's a good thing she did show up today. I was on the point of giving up hope till my wife called to tell me there was a doll and asking about that cat girl.


Ok ladies and gents I have a small issue with my Catrine, and I've noticed it with the one I got for Maniah. When I put on Catrine's sunglasses I noticed that they glasses part is upside down when the ear pieces are right. When I turn it around the glasses are poking up funny.

Does that look right with the ear pieces turned up like that? Am I just being an idiot? I would think they would curve down even if she does have cat ears instead of human ears.

Tuesday my roommate and I headed to the nearest TRU (Which is about an hour away) to look for the Werecats double pack, but they were sold out but getting a new shipment in the next day... so we asked for two sets to be set aside, hoping his mom could grab them for us since she sometimes works in that city. Unfortunately she wouldn't be working that day so we ended up driving back there again the next day, just to grab the dolls. XD But we saw they also had the three pack in with the fear leading uniforms so we grabbed those instead! It made me full of happy... even if it did cost me thirty dollars in gas. @_@

They're still stocking the Werecat 2-packs?  I haven't seen one of those in months.


Yeah they are. Though this is Idaho, so we tend to be months behind everything.

Though my Walmart has had the price tag for Catrine out for a few weeks but I haven't seen her... which is probably good because I am broke.

I just googled them..hmm but even on those sunglasses the ear pieces curve down instead of up like these.
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 14
Post by: Maniah on February 01, 2013, 08:11:43 AM
I see the similarities to the Prada glasses, but with Catrine's her nose piece is upside down. If you put the glasses on her correctly, then the ear pieces curve upwards, instead of downwards. The Prada ones curve downwards. If the nose piece were flipped over, than the ear pieces, the arms, would curve downwards.

Hm. I see the point being made, and because of that nose piece, both ways just look wrong.

I would think they made the legs of the glasses go up instead of down on purpose. She's a werecat, not a human, so there's no real reason to make them curve down except to look like normal sunglasses. I personally don't even think they look that weird going up, other than it just not being what I'm used to as I lack cat ears ;D

Congrats on your Catrines y'all! :heart:

All of these Catrine's are giving me hope! Getting a ride to the store this afternoon for water, so here's hoping. At least I'm getting something I wanted this month, when my fiance picked up the Hyrule Historia on Amazon he grabbed me Ghoulia's deluxe fashion pack because it was running low on stock <3 (well 20 left, but still. It would have gone fast).

I came home with Junior Mints instead...They're deliciously refreshing...

Yum, hopefully those Junior Mints tide you over til you get a Catrine of your own! :D

I'll be waiting til she's more plentiful on the shelves before I start looking. c:
Them Junior Mints didn't do anything for me! And more and more people are finding her, AND I'M NOT ONE OF THEM!! :freak: *breathes into paper bag* I'd wanna wait until she shows up more, but I'm scared she's not going to! >,<; I just wanna get her out the way for now so I can take a small MH break after being caught up.

OMG!  I am on the phone with Walmart right now.  Apparently they must have gotten her in but the lady keeps arguing with me that it is an assortment and not just one particular doll instead of just going to look if they have them in.  Not on the shelf just in the system and she just keeps arguing with me.  Now she is telling me that that particular doll did not come in but they got the other 6 in????  Is she in the Scaris assortment?  She has her own price tag and this lady is driving me nuts!  She won't just tell me if the item I am asking about is on the floor or in the back and she even asked about the werecat.  I think she is thinking she is the same as the Scaris dolls and since no one stocked her on the shelf she is just trying to tell me they don't have her even though she could be sitting in the back in her own box right now.

So I got a response from Mattel today about Operetta's leg gash- YAY! I'd take her back to Walmart, but she'd end up in claims which to me is a bad place for toys. So I might keep her or put her up for trade, maybe someone needs parts or something.

We're so glad you contacted us!

We were sorry to hear that your new Dance Class Operetta doll has a large scratch in her leg.  The leg is not a part that can be replaced.  So, we'll send a replacement Dance Class Operetta doll right away. You should have it within 7 business days.

Thanks,

Yay I found catrine!!! I went to Walmart this morning and looked where she should have been... Nothing... Walked over to the basic scaris and looked for a deuce... And nothing... Then I looked above them an there he was!! Then I left and went on my merry way... I thought about it and I didn't check the end cap they had with mh dolls on it... So I went back and checked... And there she was all 6 of her!! I snagged them for people on here... Now I am tired and need a nap... Lol

I found Catrine in the Charlotte, NC area today. The frustrating thing is that after regularly stalking 4 Targets, 2 Walmarts, and a TRU, I have never even seen a Scaris Deuce. I wonder if the cases that are coming in only have Abbey, Ghoulia, and Draculaura, because I have no trouble finding them. :|

I went out to the Walmart less traveled, but did not find Catrine (nor a sticker for her just a lone Scaris Lala, Clawdeen, and Frankie). Got to go to Target, found DC Howleen! Great QC (other than her head SLIGHTLY floppy, but she can at least hold it in place) and just made me so happy to finally find her!

I found Catrine today!  I was so surprised.  After Cupid not coming around her until fall last year, I wondered if I'd have as long a wait to see Catrine on shelves here.  There were two of her left on the shelf.  I got one for me and one for my friend for her birthday.  She is so beautiful!

A lady shopping there smiled when she saw them in my cart and talked with me about the dolls a little, asking me where she could find the Dance Class dolls.  I told her I'd seen them at Walmart before, and also at Kmart.  She asked if I was shopping for a little girl and I told her that one was for me and one was for my friend, and that I was a collector.  She seemed a little surprised but not shocked or upset.  She wished me luck in my MH searches and went on her way.  It's always kind of fun to talk to other shoppers about MH. :)

Good luck to everyone still looking for her.  I think her distribution must be 100 times better than Cupid's last February for me to have found her here, especially at that particular Walmart since it doesn't seem to move a lot of toys.

I'm far too lazy to get off the couch and check out the Walmart near my house for Catrine tonight.  I'm going to shower and make Eddie look for her tomorrow.

I like the way you work....wish I could get my husband to search for me :). He listened to me excitedly tell him at lunch today abut finally finding Catrine and not having to stalk for her anymore and with a completely non enthused face said " you must have been thrilled". Yeah , at least he tolerates it, lol.

Mine too :D He said he is creeped out by the fact that my dolls sit at the end of the bed and "stare at him" all night long...

Roflmao!   I have a home office that is liberally decorated with dolls and ponies.....I frequently have to clean it so I can actually work in it :).  He'll occasionally walk through and just shake his head....   I know it's time to clean when I can't find my light table OR my printer ;)

The Swim Dolls have been found in Kmarts here in Illinois. I'm waiting for Meijer to get them since I don't want to drive super far to the only Kmart in the area. Still no word on Catrine. :cry:

Those of you who've gotten Catrine.....and opened the box  :biggrin: .....mine has complete helmet head.  Her hair is so glued together it doesn't move at all.   Is that normal for her?   I'm doubly glad I made sure to get the one which had the best looking hair while looking in the store, but I still didn't think it wouldn't move at all.  lol
Oh you mean how it's "lightly gelled"? XD
Oh is that what it's called????  "lightly gelled"    ROFL

My Catrine has "lightly gelled" hair as well! I'm pretty sure that's normal. Not looking forward to having to wash all that out! I'm debating weather or not to recurl her hair like that or do something different!

Also I so wish we had a Kmart in Canada! I want the new Swim Lagoona so bad!

There are 2 in Niles. One on W Touhy and the other on W Golf. I checked them both last night and only checked the one on Touhy today and she was there. From what I noticed they both stock either the same day or a day apart from each other so I would definitely try them both.

Alright, this may be a silly question but, what kind of "trading power" does Catrine have? I mean, I know she is starting to become more avaliable, but to people that do not hae her or in areas that are really behind, would she be worth a blob/cam set or a deuce?

(also, I saw 4 today, picked up one and before I had a chance to campare a man walked over, picked up two, reached for the third one, paused, checked his phone and then left)

Never trust what it says online if it's a group of dolls. If it's something like the Clawdeen/Howleen 2 Pack, then yes, that's accurate. Because the DPCI's are the same for each doll in a certain line, any of those dolls could be in stock. All of Budget Scaris have the same DPCI so it will show all of them in stock, but they could have only 3 Draculauras.

I'm sorry to hear that. :(

I'm debating on straightening Catrine's hair. I'm not big on her two big curls. I would leave her side bangs curled up, but I think I'm gonna wash out all that glue and keep her hair straight. What do you guys think?

You'll most likely have to use some boiling water to straighten...I washed out the "gel" and the curve in Catrine's hair is still very present....her hair is looking a lot better as it dries though :)

Was it Catrine all the way back or just one row?? Very impressive section!! Mine is similar at the walmart by my house (totally destroyed by someone tonight... looked like a dolly massacre... minus the blood and guts... mine did get the puma boy CAM and bee CAM in though...

The one by my moms house is slightly smaller and the MH dolls are both in a row and on an end cap... thats where I found all the Catrines today... I got all the ones at my moms Walmart and the Walmart by my house is going to get some in, roughly in about a week... so.. I am hoping I can help as many people as possible... :) I already have 11 people who are asking me for one and I am trying to get one for everyone one I can ^.^

I really wish a local store would get the deluxe fashion packs.  Target has them online now but only sold in stores.  So far none of the stores closest to me have them in stock.  Walmart, Shopko and Kmart have not had them either.  Kmart and Shopko are the only places I have seen fashion packs besides the new singles which finally came to our Target. There aren't even spots for them.  Also, cannot wait for the swim line to start showing up.

Ya know, the more I look at Scaris Deuce, the more I want him. I'm not fond of the MH boy dolls at all usually, but he has a very cute expression. And even though I prefer 'real' hair, I like the green....thing... on his head.

I probably won't have enough luck to run into him, but if I do, I think I'll get him.

I love the scaris deuce also, but have yet to see him. I don't get to the stores that carry these dolls very often, but I check every time I am in one! No deuce, yet.

I've passed up so many dolls lately, and seek comfort! Has anyone else had that one doll look 'em square in the eye and had to walk away recently? :P

Having to save and be a grown up on low wage is borrrring.

I have too! Being grown up is NO FUN!!! I saw three Skelita's this week, unable to get even one of them... The Scaris Rochelle is really cute also, I don't have a doll of Rochelle yet. I can't decide if I want her or not.

Hopping on the "I found Catrine" bus. I found mine at the Walmart that's about 25-30 minutes away in Levelland, TX since the town is so tiny. Looks like she was put out Friday morning and all 6 were there, it was hard to pick which one to take home, lol. I was going to grab 2 but I'm slowly straying from buying one for display out of box & one MIB, I'm now getting just one to keep loose for my collection.  :3 I'll have to wash the gel out tomorrow after work since I am now off to bed so I can be somewhat rested for work, lol.

I personally am holding off on trading for her right now since I know she's coming into stores now. But you could always put a trade post up and see if you have any takers. Never hurts to try! You'd probably have better luck getting a blob CAM set then a Deuce but you never know :)

Damn.  I know for a fact that the local Wal-Marts are only get one case of Catrine at a time.  I'm guessing you're in a much more populated area. 

I am so afraid I am going to miss it when they finally stock her here. 

I was wondering if anyone has made up a MH character of their own. I'm trying to do so and drew up a design but I'm just so unsure of it and feel like I'm back to square one. @-@;

I have.  I'm a total nerd and have OCs for pretty much every fandom I'm into.  Mine are all in my head though, I haven't attempted to draw any of them yet.  Good luck with yours!

Oh, in reference to people looking for Deuce, I've had good luck with TRU for him.  I don't even go there very often usually, but I was there twice last week and saw Duece there both times (not the same one, btw).  Only one on the shelf each time though, and one time I was lucky enough to catch the chick opening the boxes (and missed my chance to maybe get a Gil - ahhh!).   I suspect they're only getting one or two per shipment, as there's only one of him in each Scaris case.

She's a WIP but I think she's coming out nicely. :)  She's based on me and she's a wererat.  At this point I'm thinking that she has white fur/skin, red eyes, and blonde hair, but nothing's really cemented right now.

I think tomorrow I will do my girls hair! Still undecided or a few but I'm sure I'll figure something out.

I was wondering if anyone has made up a MH character of their own. I'm trying to do so and drew up a design but I'm just so unsure of it and feel like I'm back to square one. @-@;

I don't have an OC per se, but there are other monsters I'd like to see get made, like the daughter of King Kong or a demon girl. Another western dragon would be cool, too. But I doubt Mattel could get the rights to make a daughter of King Kong, and parents would freak over a demon girl. :(

I haven't made up an OC yet, but if I did, she would either be a mummy or a sea monster because Lagoona and Cleo are my faves and I'm not very creative. :lol: I would love to see a monster that resembled dinosaurs. /swoon

They could make it "daughter of the giant gorilla" or something though. I'd love one!

I have a few OCs made up, one has been drawn, the others are still in my head. :P

I've had moments like those where you try to draw something, but after one day of drawing you'd look at it and be like: "Ugh What was I thinking?!" and end up starting over. >,<

Damn.  I know for a fact that the local Wal-Marts are only get one case of Catrine at a time.  I'm guessing you're in a much more populated area. 

Nope! It's a small town in northeast Tennessee. I don't know why they got so many, the girl on the phone said they had 12 on order but until I saw them I assumed she misheard me and just meant Scaris.

I washed Catrine's hair and it's a lot nicer now. No more icky glue. I like that the curl is still there in the front, it's charming. I wish she had more hair to put in a ponytail. I think she would look darling with the two large curls hanging down in the front and have the rest of her hair pulled back. Now I just need her hair to dry.

Question: How PINK is her eyeshadow supposed to be or How pink is your Demew's eyeshadow? JEM pink or a pale pink? Both make her look pretty but very different!
Mine's pale pink. Would you be able to show us the darker pink one? :biggrin:

Heres just the eyes/makeup:

It may seem slight on the computer but the brighter eyeshadow is just like BAM vibrant and changes the look completely. Maybe it's just me  :freak:

pukunui You might be right about Mattel working on their distribution. It seemed like for once all the dolls were released at the same time all over the place.

Still no Catrine at any of my Walmarts here  :( I did find her tag at one, but the stock person was clueless and couldn't even tell me after he scanned it if she was in the back or even on order. He just picked up a random DDG and asked me if I was sure this wasn't the doll I wanted  :hmm: Uh. Right.

If its in transit check tonight or tomorrow morning. My store had them in transit yesterday and I got mine today. There were none on the shelf though at my store, the associate went in back and got the box for me. So I would get the tag scanned and have someone try to get them from the back room for you if they're on hand.

Catrine is the first doll I'm considering washing her hair out. Usually it doesn't bother me so much, but mine is really awful.

This.  She has been the first doll that I can absolutely not stand the hairdo on with all the gel. 

My Catrine has the bright pink eye makeup.  I wish she had the lighter stuff.  The bright makeup actually turned me off a little and I almost didn't get her.  I did get an extra that I was hoping to try and trade her for wave 1 Cleo if anyone is interested.  I am glad that I got her yesterday because I went back in today and the last 3 that were on the shelf were all gone.  Walmart and Kmart seriously need to do something about their MH sections.  Kmart's whole toy section is almost bare and Walmart just sucks at stocking MH in general.  I really want the deluxe fashion packs already!

Random find today.  I found a GB 5 pack at Target today that someone must have returned.  It was sitting in front of all the SS packs when I went in today.  They haven't been in our Target at all since I started collecting.

Post by: Rhini on February 02, 2013, 06:50:19 PM
I'm going to guess that the difference in makeup is not really a variant so much as it's just the last piece on a run and they were running low on paint.

I'm excited to get mine, I was a little undecided at first but with her hair washed out she looks lovely.

I'm bored and snowed in, so I took a group werecat pic, minus the CAM werecat. Ignore my terrible picture taking skills. It's still an improvement on pics I take of humans.

Oh and if anyone has any suggestions on posing the cats tails on those stands, I'm interested. They look like they've had a few too many.

Hey guys,

I finally found one lonely Skelita today. It's the only one I've ever seen so I had to grab her.

I just can't get her knees to bend though. When I try her rubbery thighs just kinda bend and I was afraid to break the knee joint if I tried any harder. Were yours hard to move?

Mine were exactly like this at first. I had to hold the thigh and tibia steady and bend the knee very carefully. Once bent, though, it's very easy to pose.

Lol that's actually what I did with my girl. Well her hair is still setting, but I pulled it back into a small bun, and she has two curls in the front. I originally wanted curls all over her head, but I'm new to messing with doll hair. The short hair frustrated me, so I was all "bun for you cat girl!" :lol:

Oh no it's fine. Knowing that you're able to find her, gives me hope that she'll show up here soon too. I'll give Walmart a few more tries since they say they're in transit, so I'm gonna stay positive that I'll find her either tonight or early tomorrow morning. And if not, the hunt continues! :P

I used to think that, but after seeing what goes down, it's not the workers, it's more of the naughty kids that the parents aren't watching over that are making the messes. Sometimes they'll just let the kids wander off and make a mess.

I had a horrible day yesterday. I went to one TRU to look for the new Toralei fearleading set. They didn't have her, but the other TRU near us did. She had them hold it for us. Well, after the hour + drive to get there, they didn't have her after all and ended up holding the wrong set.  I know the lady at the other TRU was trying to help, but I was mentally furious at her. So I didn't get either yesterday. And I didn't find the CAM blob/ice set either. :/

Found Catrine this morning at my Wal-Mart. All of your good luck prompted me to go out. I wasn't going to go, but now I'm glad I did. My Wal-Mart had all 6, but 4 of them had terrible lip/nose rub :(

Has anyone noticed that their Catrine's lower legs are slightly off color from her thighs?

I'm hoping to get out soon and sneek a few more dolls onto my credit card before my husband stops paying the bill for me :nod:  I'd dying to get out there are look since EVERYONE is finding Catrine so easily (sorry Luvly lol)  I've kinda got a thing for the werecats I think.  What I'm really hoping I stumble across though, is the newest CAM Starters! 

I need so much stuff for my new apartment, though.  It's gonna be so hard to justify ANY doll purchase when I need things to survive:(  Ugh!  Growning up sucks!  Don't do it kids:)

Following up on what mehjohnson said, I furnished half my apartment for only a couple hundred bucks by shopping the local thrift stores. :) Don't forget how much a coat of paint and little love can improve the look of something. I did that with some of mine and they look like whole new pieces.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone:)  I'm doing fine.  I'll have to check out the thrift shop.  I like vintage stuff, stuff that comes with a history.

I'm really going to have to stop following this thread.
I am getting depressed not being able to find any dolls locally to use my vouchers from Mattel, and not having any money to send to people to help me get the new dolls. :(

Which dolls are you looking for? I might be able to help :)

Firecracker and I found Catrine in Colorado Springs!  :biggrin:
If you found her in the Walmart on Academy, I'm so jealous. I was there Friday night!
She was at the Jackson Creek one.  I'm pretty sure they didn't put her out until last night, since she wasn't there when I checked in the afternoon.

Still no Catrine at any of my Walmarts here  :( I did find her tag at one, but the stock person was clueless and couldn't even tell me after he scanned it if she was in the back or even on order. He just picked up a random DDG and asked me if I was sure this wasn't the doll I wanted  :hmm: Uh. Right.

I wanted to ask to look at the freaking scanner myself, but I didn't have the nerve  -_-

I feel your pain :( Tags are out, but no dolls. However, they probably won't stock until the mod is done, so patience!

I'm staring at pictures of her while I try to remain patient  :lol: Next time I stalk the aisle I hope I can at least find someone who actually knows how to read the scanner (or will let me look!) XD But yeah, the stores are total chaos... I can't tell if they're actually working on the reset or just making a massive mess!
I too shall try to remain patient. :P

I used to think that, but after seeing what goes down, it's not the workers, it's more of the naughty kids that the parents aren't watching over that are making the messes. Sometimes they'll just let the kids wander off and make a mess.

Hehee, yeah, I'm sure it was probably kids to begin with (former big box retail worker here >_<), but at my two WMs the same mess has been on the same shelves for a couple of weeks now, so I've come to the conclusion that no one cares about tidying the old mod, let alone about stocking the new mod XD

Thanks for the well wishes everyone:)  I'm doing fine.  I'll have to check out the thrift shop.  I like vintage stuff, stuff that comes with a history.

Has anyone else noticed that a lot of the Scaris Ghoulias have really wonky clothes?  It seems most of the ones I've seen have crooked screenprinting and/or crooked sewing on the front pocket of the dress.  Some of them have been laughably bad. 

Only one of the ten or so Scaris Ghoulias I've come across had good clothes, good glasses, and good paint.

From the looks of it (unless they were able to order them from EE or BBTS, which I don't think is possible?), someone had hit up all the Walmarts in my city and is selling the Catrines on eBay. Whole cases included.

I guess that explains why none of the four Walmarts in my city had them last night, but the town ten minutes away had five of her on the shelf. D:

Got an e-mail that Robecca arrived at Walmart, and off to Walmart I went! Before I picked her up, I though I'd check the MH Corner to see if they added Caterine. I Was kinda doubtful, so if they didn't stock her, I'd just leave with Robecca. To my Surprise, they did stock her! Had all 6 of them, and all of them had some kind of errors though. >,<; Eye scratches, lip chips, bleeding eye shadow, so through process of elimination, I grabbed the best one they had.

Went to get Robecca from store pickup, got robecca, who had a near perfect face! Some minor defects, but I'm not complaning. Came home with both of them super totally happy!!...Now super totally broke, too... :( I REGRET NOTHING!! XD

Now I can finally stop hissy fitting and now everyone can start thinking to themselves. "Finally she found one, now she can shut up about not finding one..."


Sorry I've been so quite guys! 
I'm sure you've all been wondering were I've been <--sarcasm

Anyway my life kinda sucks right now:(  My husband and I are getting a divorce.  I know this is off topic, but the reason I mention it is because of the divorce I can't shop/collect like I used to:(

I'm hoping to get out soon and sneek a few more dolls onto my credit card before my husband stops paying the bill for me :nod:  I'd dying to get out there are look since EVERYONE is finding Catrine so easily (sorry Luvly lol)  I've kinda got a thing for the werecats I think.  What I'm really hoping I stumble across though, is the newest CAM Starters! 

I need so much stuff for my new apartment, though.  It's gonna be so hard to justify ANY doll purchase when I need things to survive:(  Ugh!  Growning up sucks!  Don't do it kids:)

Lastly, congrats to everyone who has found their doll grails the past few weeks!  Glad to see (almost) everyone happy:)  I'm gonna head over to the pic spam thread now.  Can't wait:)
It's great to have you back! I'm sorry that had to happen. >,<; :hug: I hope everything turns out for the best!

I did have a job interview friday and here is hoping I'll get a job soon.

If you have a local grocery store that sells MH dolls (or other dolls like Barbie), they may show up there.
I know where I live, my grocery store is where I'd go to find the Wave 2 Dead Tired, Killer Style(?) Frankie and Draculaura [that came with keychains], and some of the other budget-line dolls.

Gorgon/Mummy & Blob/Ice girls.

I've since washed her hair out so it's in loose waves, which I love so much more than the tight gelled curls. Now I can sit back and not worry about anything until Catastrophe hits stores :)

They put them in a weird place up by the door in my Kroger, so if you're already shopping you have to go up past the checkouts to look, and I always forget to look until I have things in my cart, so the employee that reminds me of the kid behind ralphie when he goes to see Santa in a Christmas story follows me up there making awkward small talk.

EDIT: My bad. It's the Skull Shores set. The Gloom Beach one is rare, eh?

I also came home with a Bratzillaz. She had pink hair and a pink outfit. I could not resist.

I just bought another set of that and have an extra Cleo and Clawdeen available if you want to just buy them separately.  I also have Frankie and Draculaura left too.  Let me know if you are interested.

Lol, just kdding Dazzlekitty.  I am glad you got your set.

It is getting rarer and rarer.  I just bought my extra GB set because I think it was a return at my Target as we have not had that set at all since I started collecting last September.

I have a question about the new swim suit dolls. So are they only available at Kmart and some Meyers store? I really just want the Draculaura. The Kmart near me is so horrible I doubt they will get them in. And I don't have the other store near me.

Oh dear, why am I wanting to buy more? LOL. But that Draculaura is CUTE. Anyone able to pick me one up?

Does anyone know if the new Swim Girls are going to come to Canada? DT2 never did, and I kinda might want that Lagoona... And by kinda, I mean OMG SHE'S SO PRETTY!

I'm doubting it since we didn't see wave 2 DT. But they are carried by smaller chain store so who knows.

I contacted Mattel customer service about my Skelita doll's legs (which are fixed now, derp), and subsequently received an email with a return label.  This was the first sentence in the email:

"Thank you for contacting Mattel regarding your Monster High® Scaris Doll Ass."

Oh My!!    ROFL   

OK so I went back to my Target and bought a Gloom Beach set.  Well you know I had to get one before they got really hard to find.   :blush:  And for those of you who would really like one and can't find it anywhere this Target has about 4 more so just let me know and I'll pick one up for you.

Ohhhhh and while I was there they had put another Duece out!!!  woohoooo!!!

Do you think she will still be available next month? I can't find her here and don't have much money til the beginning of March to have someone send her.

I think I have one left since I was holding for someone that decided not to get it... I also have a really awesome toy section lady who has stashed away 5 at my local Walmart :) it's kind of awesome because her sticker is gone... So it doesn't look like they even modded for her...

Wow. I'm glad that's not any Walmart near me. That would make me sad.

You're right, she does kind of look like Morena Baccarin as Inara! You just made me love Cleo even more than I already did :hearts:

EDIT: OT
Following up on what mehjohnson said, I furnished half my apartment for only a couple hundred bucks by shopping the local thrift stores. :) Don't forget how much a coat of paint and little love can improve the look of something. I did that with some of mine and they look like whole new pieces.

All of this! I'm sorry that's happening to you grzankitter, but I'm glad that you are starting anew and looking forward to having your dolls all sorted on your new shelves!

Thrift stores are the best. With the right price, some new fabric to decorate with or sanding something down with new paint can make it even more lovely than before.  :hug:

Awesome custom! I prefer the other Draculaura face (the one with the closed-mouth fangs and smaller eyes) but that customizer did a great job on her hair and outfit. Those baby pink skates are adoooorable too. I hope one day Mattel releases an official RM Draculaura.

Post by: LuvlyMelody on February 04, 2013, 02:58:07 PM
I agree, little fanged Draculaura would've made an amazing base, instead of slobbering Draculaura. :P But still a good custom altogether.

Ugh I'm starting to not like these stands. >,>;

1)They make the ghouls lean back and can't make them stand straight, thus leading to toppling over.
2)The clip/holders are sometimes too tight and when I try to put them on/take them off, I'm scared it'll rip their clothes. I already feel paranoid that I think I may have stretched/scratched the vinyl on Robecca's dress.

I wonder how the stands on the Ghouls Alive dolls are compared to the regular stands.

Can you guys show me how you put your ghouls on their stands so I can get some kind of idea of what I may be doing wrong?? Please and thank you!!

I never use my stands... they always look as though they're going to rip holes into the dolls' clothes and I don't want to take that chance. I just lean my dolls on each other, on walls, etc. xD

I wish the clip-on part of the stands were more like jaw hair clips instead of a rigid plastic half-circle that needs to be jammed onto their waist.

I have found it easier to slide the clip part on sideways and then turning it so they face the front.  Make sure to do it on the side that the top velcro piece overlaps the bottom one so you don't rip or undo the velcro.  This has made it much easier to get the stands on without ripping clothes or feeling like you will break the clip.  I still hate the way the stands tilt back.  I have to go back through some of the first dolls that I deboxed and make sure that the base is actually "clicked" into the stand because some of the stands just come apart rather than staying together and I am hoping it is mainly because I didn't realize at first they actually click together rather than just sitting in the hole.

I contacted Mattel Australia a while back about my being unable to view the content on the official Monster High Facebook page. After a false start where they mistakenly thought I was referring to the Monster High website, I've finally gotten this response from them today: "We apologies [sic] for the delay in responding and we have checked with our global team and it seems that there was a glitch in the system which has caused New Zealand site being blocked.  Our global team are in the process of switching to a new system starting in February which New Zealand will be receiving the global feed."

Hopefully that means I will get to see all the posts soon.

That's actually how I've been doing it! It's still tight on a few of the stands. >,< I might just try to have them leaning against the wall or something like Rococo suggested. Or until I get a Ghouls Alive doll and try their stand.

I can't remember who originally posted about it, but it is a known problem =/ They stated that like 6 of the ones even in the boxes had their legs falling off. I'd try wrapping some tape around the peg.

Ghouls Alive Spectra definitely suffers from limbs falling off. They just kind of start slipping off or down. Rhini's idea is good to at least hold it in place, I'm not sure I'd want to superglue it.....

Lots of catching up to do!

I'd also check JCP for the Swim dolls.  I saw DT 2 there around the holidays so I assume they would get the Swim dolls too.

Does anyone have a Swim doll UPC handy?  I'd like to try and order them at work.  Hasn't worked so far, but I keep trying :lol:

Congrats on your big win DazzleKitty!  If I won that kind of money, I'd splurge on the MH School!  Or save some for the newest SDCC exclusive.  Or FINALLY get caught up on the newest releases.  Or invest in some of Ravie's re-roots, or PonySeeker's re-paints.  Ugh!  I'll never have enough money :lol:  If that Bratzilla you bought is a Jade in pink, I'm super jealous!  *sigh*  She is so pretty!

Airiel:  I think the newest CAM Add-Ons haven't made it to all the chains yet:(  I've only seen them at Kmart, and it was when I bought them :huh:  I wouldn't panic yet:)

I don't own Ghoul's Alive Spectra, but if her legs are similar to the CAM legs, you can wrap the pegs in teflon tape.  My husband suggested this when I was having trouble moding my CAMs when they were incomplete.  Teflon tape is cheap and doesn't stick to the dolls, just to itself.  It won't leave a sticky residue:)

Thanks again everyone for the well wishes, and wonderful tips:)  I can't wait to start decorating and see what I can find thrifting:)  I'm glad I have such a wonderful community for friends to support me.  You all are the best!

I found the Siren at Kmart pretty recently, maybe a couple weeks ago?  I think they’re just limited in the amount they’re releasing right now (same for Ice/Blob and Mummy/Gorgon) and they’ll become more common eventually.

Oooh, what are your ideas so far??

I have my own MH character!  Here she is:

She's a WIP but I think she's coming out nicely. :)  She's based on me and she's a wererat.  At this point I'm thinking that she has white fur/skin, red eyes, and blonde hair, but nothing's really cemented right now.

I love your OC! She is so awesome! This is the one I drew up yesterday. She's supposed to be the daughter of the pixies. But I feel really blah about her and feel that she looks to much like a Winx.

Heeey, so uh, Saply, do you still have your two-headed girl? (These are the questions that keep me up at night. XD)

As to the hydration station, while it does look pretty, Sunnie's right that it's rather loud and slightly alarming sounding. Worse than the noise though, for me, is the fact that you can't just keep it running. You can only push the button, and it runs for a set time and then stops. The only way to start it again is to push the button. I'd be much happier if I could control that. (It could be fun to leave it on as a night light, for example. But it's not possible.)

For those looking for the ice/blob and mummy/gorgon CAM sets they are on the justice website again... I think they are still running a 40% off promotion... Use code 708 at check out... It makes them $24.00... I am unsure if they do shipping overseas, but if you know someone in the states... it might help... :)

No its an online/instore promotion... so if you could find them in stores they would be the same price... However... I would call around and see if they have them first off.. nothing like going in to find them not there... Just a thought :)

The lamp is like...not so loud it hurts my ears, but certainly louder than it seems like it should be. I know that's not very helpful, but I can't think of anything to compare it too (I've never owned a fish tank, so I don't know how that sounds). :blush:

Hm.. oh well. I guess it will still be nice to have regardless, even tho I most likely cannot use it as a lavalamp/night light of some sort. ;<

Today Justice has them priced BOGO Buy One Get One Free. So, $40 for BOTH sets. That deal is good for any item on their website.  And of course, I'm broke. Heh. Oh, Copon code 780. And I think it's today only.

Also...has anyone here outside of the US bought stuff from Justice online? I'm curious because in the final checkout page I'm not getting any import fees added on to my order, and I'm wondering if something will be added on later (their international shipping is kind of high, so import fees on top of what my order would already be kinda makes it not worth it for me).

Argh, so I had to go to the dentist today (so many needles, so much ow :cry:) and I was really hoping the MH gods would smile on me afterwards and reward me for my bravery with a Catrine! But no.  :sad: I did find a stock person who knew how to check her tag on the scanner and apparently they don't even have any of her in the warehouse! What.  -_-

Sooo this is me giving up hunting and issuing an official plea--anyone have an extra Catrine for sale, or could pick one up for me? :heart: I think you guys are going to be my only chance to get her.

If you're close to Calgary, you should try the Wal-Mart in Olds; that's where I finally found my Catrine, and they had more in stock than other stores in the area. 

If you can, try talking to some kind of manager at customer service - that's the only way I was able to find Catrine locally.  I spoke with the front-end manager at my local Wal-Mart and with the item number/UPC(30565267/74677524070, respectively) she was able to check all the stores within driving distance, tell me how many were in stock or on order, and she called to have the closest one put a doll on hold for me.  She also told me that they are short on them in the warehouse or something, and even though a case had been earmarked for my store, there's a chance it would end up getting sent elsewhere since there's not enough for all the stores that are supposed to get them.  I imagine that if we wait a tad longer, they will get properly stocked and we'll start seeing a few more Catrines on the shelves here.  Good luck in your search!

Also...has anyone here outside of the US bought stuff from Justice online? I'm curious because in the final checkout page I'm not getting any import fees added on to my order, and I'm wondering if something will be added on later (their international shipping is kind of high, so import fees on top of what my order would already be kinda makes it not worth it for me).

I *almost* placed an order with them the other day; when I went to checkout, the address section was set up only for USA addresses, there was no option to choose a country, and you have to input a state, there's no option for provinces or whatever.

It lets you input Canadian billing addresses, but the shipping section won't auto fill when the 'shipping address same as billing address' is checked. You have to put in the address manually.

I was able to enter everything just fine, but backed out because 1)I'm worried about duty fees, and 2)I promised myself I wouldn't buy anything in February except for my boyfriend's birthday gift. It was really hard to stick by when I realized how much I would save if I added all of the dolls I've been wanting to the cart at the same time  :cry:

That's a shame. I have trouble enough finding MH dolls in store with non-glaring flaws, but to hear that Catrine has the worst QC ever seen... it doesn't give me too much hope of finding a good one. u-u

If only buying one or two things at regular price that's alright....but MH is marked up so much in Canada - usually $5-10 at least. And in my case, the sales tax is really high because I live in NL. If a site that will ship to Canada for a reasonable price is having a good sale, it turns out to be a lot cheaper. For instance...I added 8 dolls to the cart on Justice, and it came out to $116 plus $30 shipping (and probably duty fees). If I were to get those same 8 dolls for retail in Canada, it would have been $190 before tax.  :|

lol I saw that on the Walmart website one day while browsing MH stuff. Haven't seen it in person yet. I thought it would've made a great alternative for those who weren't able to get the High School Playset.

I also saw this: Monster High Collapsible Storage Trunk (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Monster-High-Collapsible-Storage-Trunk/21596141). Never seen it in person yet, but if the dimensions are big enough to carry MIB Boxes, and hide in my closet, then I'm sold. :P

They also had a shelf tag call-out thing (Paper tag attached extra to the shelf) for the Power Ghouls that listed all 4.) but I'm not sure if this call out is new or not.

I've seen WW and PG there so they have had them :p

No new cam dolls tho but they stick around once they hit so I'm not worried.

Catrine obtained! Wow is her head a helmet of glue! Also, her make-up is a bit different from the prototype. I wish they had stuck with their original colours and highlights! They were a tad softer looking. But she's still a cutie :D :D :D

I think the eyeshadow at least varies a lot from doll to doll. Each Catrine I looked at had a different shade of pink varying from baby pink to neon pink. I got one in the middle.

I haven't opened mine yet to deal with her glue helmet.

There' a neon pink and a faded/softer pink...I can't remember which I got but I did notice the differences while going though the Caterines to find the right one.

Totally bummed out today. I went to Walmart hoping to pick up a new doll but they were resetting. The only had DDG Lagoonas and 1 Scaris Ghoulia. It was so depressing to see the empty shelves. However they said they were getting Scaris Deluxe so crossing my fingers for Jinafire and Skellita! Anyway I  bought the double feature and went over to Safeway and picked up a DDG Operetta.

I'm re-watching Friday Night Frights and I'm really happy with how Draculaura stood up to Clawd and told him that her friends need her and that she shouldn't have to do whatever he says. I think that's a great thing to teach young girls. :)

Went to Walmart today just to see if Catrine was there and only found a label for her. Also, I'm not sure if anyone has ever mentioned this before but the Michael's Arts and Crafts I work at has a ton of Monster High supplies such as stickers, rulers, pencil cases, erasers, and pencils  :)

I want the pencil cases.. I can hide other toys in those, lmao. I don't even know where the nearest Michael's is. Which is sad because I used to know where everything was. It was great to go to my fiance, when someone told us a place and he didn't know, to just be "Baby, you know where this is? Yeah, like right down the road". Because well, he's been here for YEARS and me only like 5 lol.

I actually saw some of those at Michael's but didn't have enough money to get most of what I wanted. :P I swear like 85-90% of most of them were dollar stuff from Target!! I almost grabbed me one of the pencil cases and other stuff, but the pencil case felt pretty cheap, or at least, too cheap to be $3 and felt more like it should've been a dollar...

I was in Denver, Colorado yesterday for work-  stopped by the Target and they had a TON of Monster High stuff!  It was the late afternoon- but they still had Deuce Scaris, Wonder Wolfs, Howleen roller dolls, the regular Scaris dolls-  and oddly enough an original Rochelle Goyle (and lots more I can't think of).  Didn't see Catrine, but again- it was late afternoon, so maybe she sold out.

(they also had a ton of pony stuff including the colorable ponies).  I only had enough room in my bag to snag a Deuce for my sister-  but if anyone lives (or has a family member) near Denver-  it might be worth having them check the place out since it is obviously not within the territory of a scalper.  (Oh- and the dolls were all on sale)

If you were at Target they wouldn't have Catrine because she is a Walmart Exclusive.

No, any of the white dolls have different colored hands. Spectra's are clear, Cupid's are black with a lace pattern, and Skelita's are off-white, and bony. And so are the CaM skeleton hands.

I guess you could always spray paint a set of regular hands white.. you don't put shoes on them, so there will be no scratching etc. either. :>

The Dance Class and Scaris Deluxe dolls, along with the Scaris playsets (car and cafe) have arrived in New Zealand! I had a good long look at the DC girls and just felt meh about all of them. Didn't even want to get Howleen for her sneakers after all.

As for Scaris, the car is kinda cute but not cute enough, and I wouldn't mind having the foodie items from the cafe, but I don't want the playset itself. I had a look at Skelita as well ... sometimes I change my mind about a doll after seeing them in person, but not this time. Still don't like her one bit.

I did get Rochelle and Frankie, though. I love Frankie's outfit, although the doll itself is pretty meh, so I'm going to sell it. (I also strongly dislike that giant screw she has for an earring). I love her boots, though. I'm going to have fun painting those. So many details on them that need paint!

When I got Rochelle home, I compared her to my sig Rochelle and decided I still preferred the latter. Scaris Rochelle has bigger eyes and hot pink lips and her fring is just massively wide. Her ears aren't pierced either. So I'm keeping the suitcase, hat, tights and shoes and selling the doll and dress (although, actually, I might cut the tacky Eiffel Tower skirt off her outfit and keep the top as well).


I can't wait for Picture Day Frankie to be released, though. I really want her!


EDIT: My deluxe fashions just arrived from the States! Woohoo!!

They didn't say.  I only know about the sale because they put (empty) sale tags on all the MH shelves already, and I asked an employee when the sale was or if I'd already missed it.  It looks like every single MH item will be on sale though.  I really hope it's a decent sale and not just one that will make things reasonably priced.

My mom and I were out running errands this afternoon (I needed some art supplies and the car needed gas) and we ended up stopping at Target to look for the Scaris dolls.

And we found them.  :biggrin: ...Or rather most of them. There were three Delux dolls (Rochelle, Clawdeen, and Jinafire) and nearly all of the Basic dolls (minus Duce; who I snagged a few weeks ago when I saw him at walmart)

I ended up snagging Scaris Rochelle and Scaris Ghoulia. :inlove:

...and then we stopped in at walmart because we forgot to get a few things, but sadly no Catrine. (didn't check for tags though)

Now all I have to do is find Skelleta and Catrine and then I shall have my must haves for the Scaris dolls. ...once they decide to show up that is.  >_<

At the Walmart where I work I saw a girl printing out mark down price tags for some Mh. I didn't get to see what she was marking down, but she was standing next to the 3 pack and fashion packs. I know the PD Lala and Abbey are shelf warmers at my store, as well as all the playsets (scooter/bathroom set and Coffin Bean) They might be getting ready for a reset and needed to clean out stale items to make room for something new. Our Walmart gets alot of business, its also one of the largest stores, and they are able to mark alot more things on clearance then some of the other stores in the area. I am kinda hoping some playsets are marked down and I have money to play with.

Those marks on the legs look pretty common.. Nearly all my dolls have them to one degree. Do me, it just looks like a raw bit of plastic where it may have detached from the mold. I just shave those spots with a brand new xacto blade and it makes them nearly invisible.

If anyone is able to pick up one of those fearleading packs and wants to work out a trade for it, I have Dance Class Howleen (if her ebay auction doesnt sell) and Scaris Deuce I could offer as trade. Both are new in box. I cant really afford to buy any more dolls, but trading is something I can always do.

Hanna, I bought that same Operetta tee from Kmart for my oldest for Valentines day.  I also bought a Scaris tee and a super cute Draulara shirt!  I love Clawdeen, but sometimes she looks like she's posing for a X Rated movie cover. The tee shirt at Kmart makes her look entirely too sexy:(.

My local Kmart has a bunch of the RM 2 pack with Ghoulia and Abbey if anyone wants me to grab one for you it wouldn't be a problem. Those of you who've gotten the newer Abbey by herself, does her hair have the "sparkle" the 2 pack does?  In the pics it seems like it's not.  Just curious.   :)

Wow Amazon likes to hurt me. I saw that up for the $14.50 the other day, after I had gotten mine. Now they lower the price /shakes fist.

Does anyone have access to the first fearleading 3 pack? i hid one at Tru but someone obviously found it before I could get back...

My store had them last time I checked.  I can grab a set on Saturday or Sunday if they still have it.

I am going to strangle Fedex SmartPost. I know my fashion pack is at my local Post Office, but it was probably too late for them to toss it on a truck. It left Orlando at 4:30 this morning, and got to my post office at 9:50. I'm gonna sit in a corner and whine, lol.

If they haven't shipped yet, you could order the second one and cancel the first one with the reason of finding it at a better price.  I did that when I purchased my DT Clawdeen with bunkbed.  They lowered the price by about $7 the next day.

Oh no, I found mine at Target a few days back before any price changing on Amazon xD! My fiance and I had just made an Amazon order, so had I hadn't found that Howleen we could have thrown it on to get the free shipping instead of my fashion pack, but I guess in the end I got a doll and a fashion pack and my fiance is getting his Hyrule Historia :3

That happened to me a couple of times with USPS. The worst is when it arrives during the day, doesn't go out with the mail the next day and they finally decide to put it on the truck the day after. Ugh.

Scaris Deuce is in stock at spieletom.de (the guys that sell the G4 blindbags) -> http://www.spieletom.com/Monster-High-Scaris-Deuce-Puppe-Mattel_1

AFAIK they ship worldwide and accept PayPal. I've ordered from them before, never had any trouble with them. ^-^
I know it's a bit on the pricey side factoring in the $/€ exchange rates (about $30) and shipping, but maybe still worth it to some of you??

I know! It's killing me!!!!  I am also surprised and impressed that they have managed to keep it secret- (also impressed about the MLP favorites pack that is also secret) 

If it is not Gil I'm totally going to break down and buy him from Taobao-  there are a few dolls up right now for approx $120 MIB, which appears to be as cheap as it gets for this pricey and hard to find guy...

Haha, yeah my fiance is DYING for it. He had his original (with the weird White Tiger coin), but we had to sell it a few months ago due to desperation. This new one is leaps and bounds better and it went up on TRU but I guess promptly sold out /sob. I'd totally give up Catrine for him to get it!

Me too.. totally hoping for Gil tho, since I NEED him and his SS version always sells for so high. ;O;
But since we already have a Deuce, there's bound to be a Cleo to go with that. And Lagoona makes a lot of sense, too.. considering she's in the movie and they've included Abbey in the line, too.

Yes. I don't think it'll be a boy, no line has had more than one boy. (GB Jackson, SS Gil, S1600 Clawd, DOTD Deuce) Scaris has already had Deuce, so it'll probably be 2 girls.

Reasons it won't be a boy:
1) Lagoona and Cleo make sense due to the artwork-
2) Boys are disfavored by Mattel/the stores purchasing them- so probably 2 boys in a single line is unlikely

BUT

1)  Most 2 packs (except for Clawdeen/Howleen & the twins) have been boy-girl
2)  If the release co-insides with Valentine's day-  wouldn't it be more likely to be a couple?

I can't wait to find out....

Found the swim dolls today at Kmart!  I have to say I am not as impressed as I was with the stock photos but I still like them.  I am really disappointed about the plastic features on the swimsuits.  It kind of cheapens them up I think.  Lagoona went from my favorite in the stock photos to my least favorite of the three. 

Also, what the heck is up with Mattel not including stands with the slim boxed dolls anymore?  Seems like the last line that had them were the RM ghouls.  I have a seriously large ghoul to stand ratio going on and it is getting bigger and I don't like it!

I think the stand thing is because the swim line is a cheaper line/basic line-  so the stand was cut out to save cost so they could offer it at a low price.  If you want to get stands you could always order them from the Mattel parts shop?

There was also the RM 2-pack with Ghoulia and Abbey.  Just when you think you are caught up with recent releases that you want, WHAM, they put something else out.  I hope it's Cleo!  I love Cleo.  However, at the same time, we don't have a TRU closer than at least an hour away and they suck at having new things anyway and I need to save money!  I am glad I don't really like the RM dolls besides the Frankie I got or the Power Ghouls.

If it's going to be a boy/girl pack I'd say repackaged Deuce and Cleo, tho. After all, they pulled him from the regular release so early, they MUST have a bunch of him left somewhere.. lol.

They were up at the $14.99 price mark on sale for $13, same price as the RM dolls that have stands and pretty much all the other slim boxed dolls I have seen.  It just seems that they are not including as much but not really dropping price.  That's my opinion anyway.  I know they have them in their online shop but $4 a stand is a little ridiculous for something that used to come with the dolls anyway.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Most of the 2-Packs have been boy/girl except for the Twins, Clawdeen/Howleen, Abbey/Ghoulia. Since Deuce is in the line, Deuce/Cleo makes sense. There was the Roller Maze 2 Pack and then they separated it. Valentine's Day is just around the corner so Deuce/Cleo makes so much sense. I will not be disappointed if it's Cleo/Lagoona since they are my two favorite characters! <3

Right- I don't know what I was thinking-  they will have the new line-up, but will not likely reveal the SDCC exclusive.  I am dying to see the line-up though, because if they have the Daughter of Arachne prototype at teh fair-  then she will be a regular release or store exclusive and not the SDCC doll.  So at least we will know who the exclusive will NOT be at least...

They usually announce the exclusive a month before the con so it should be sometime in June.

Sunday can't get here fast enough! I need to know what's being shown!

Who else has been seen in the Scaris artwork?  If Deuce is going, wouldn't Cleo be a good candidate?

The only ones that aren't already dolls that have been seen in the artwork are Cleo and Lagoona.

Now I'm pretty sure it will be Cleo & Goona, lol. LOOK, they already have the vectors for the box-art, too! x'D
(srsly.. I love this pic - is it from Rochelle's diary? - But I cannot help but snort at how obviously they recycle the vectors.. But Hasbro is more than guilty of that, too. Sigh. xD)

That webisode was awesome! This and the PD one were definitely reminiscent of the first volume.

I'd be shocked if that TRU exclusive 2 pack wasn't Lagoona and Cleo. We have the artwork for them, they feature prominently in the trailer for the movie, and we don't have either of them yet. And multi-pack exclusives haven't included a previously released boy to date. The only time I recall a guy being included in an exclusive set was the SDCC one, with Scarah and Hoo-dude. And Hoo-dude isn't like the other dolls :P

Found the swim dolls today at Kmart!  I have to say I am not as impressed as I was with the stock photos but I still like them.  I am really disappointed about the plastic features on the swimsuits.  It kind of cheapens them up I think.  Lagoona went from my favorite in the stock photos to my least favorite of the three. 

Also, what the heck is up with Mattel not including stands with the slim boxed dolls anymore?  Seems like the last line that had them were the RM ghouls.  I have a seriously large ghoul to stand ratio going on and it is getting bigger and I don't like it!

I think the stand thing is because the swim line is a cheaper line/basic line-  so the stand was cut out to save cost so they could offer it at a low price.  If you want to get stands you could always order them from the Mattel parts shop?

They were up at the $14.99 price mark on sale for $13, same price as the RM dolls that have stands and pretty much all the other slim boxed dolls I have seen.  It just seems that they are not including as much but not really dropping price.  That's my opinion anyway.  I know they have them in their online shop but $4 a stand is a little ridiculous for something that used to come with the dolls anyway.

The cost of manufacturing goes up every year, while the base price of the dolls hasn't really. Of course, places like TRU jack the prices, but Target and Walmart haven't really increased the price, which means that Mattel isn't charging them a higher price. The signature dolls still come with pets, accessory and detailed fashions, and even the basic dolls include little accessories like they always have. Maybe I'm biased because I don't really use the stands, but I'd prefer no stands instead of less accessories, or a higher price on the dolls.

Agreed- I would prefer losing the stand to losing some of the details that make MH fun (like the clothing/accessories/detailing/elaborate shoes)

That's so nice! Yay for Mattel customer service!

That webisode was also doubly cute :) Love the Cleo/Ghoulia moments! 

I was thinking if the two pack tag hadn't said Scaris it could have been the Heath/Abbey two pack since Valentines day would make sense for them, oh well.

It would be predictable if they made a two pack of Cleo and Lagoona since they were included in the artwork...and special.  But it'd be cool if it was another movie character... :biggrin: Probably not, watch out guys....it'll be another Toralei since they just released her again.... :lookround:

I found PD Cleo today, at last! I just adore the PD line, can't wait for the second wave now. It's one of the few lines I'll definitely be completing. It'd be so nice if there was eventually a PD Clawdeen and Ghoulia, too. :heart:

Also, for my fellow Canucks, I spotted a couple of the single-boxed RM Abbey! So, as long as our assortment is the same, RM Clawdeen must be here too, I just missed her. :)

The Scaris two-pack is really awesome news! They're getting good at sneaking out releases on us :P I hope it's Cleo and Lagoona as well. I've been holding off Abbey/Ghoulia/Lala in case there was a multipack so I guess we shall just have to wait and see who's in this! Exciting! :squee:

I also scored a Scaris Deuce today. Undecided if I want him or not... I don't think I want to collect any of his dolls... so if anyone might want to have him in exchange for new CaMs or new fashion packs, feel free to hit me up via PM   ^.^

Post by: Bow Tie on February 07, 2013, 07:05:13 PM
The Lagoona is ok. Definitely not my favorite. I hate the crayon-yellow hair. I wish they toned down her color all together because her colors are very loud and bright. She's super blue when all her other dolls are a light grey/blue. I will still get her because I collect Lagoona. Howleen is adorbs! Gigi is eh still. Not a fan of the hair and face. Twyla's face is ok, but overall I like her look. I adore her colors!
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 14
Post by: pukunui on February 07, 2013, 07:07:41 PM
Howleen rocks. I'm definitely getting her for sure. I want Twyla, too. Love her shoes especially.
Gigi is too plain for me, and I can't stand the bright colors on Lagoona, so I'll most likely pass on them both.

Wow, it's so neat to see closeups of the hand-painted faces on the prototypes!  Beautiful.  It looks like Twyla's prototype's head is Abbey's head mold.  I love the glittery silver swirls on her!

Not sure if prototype Gigi shares someone else's head mold.  I can't tell.  I CAN tell that I really don't like her long, icky fingernails. ;_; Ewww.  I still like everything else about her, though.

Love freshwater Lagoona.  Do want!  Love her hair, accessories and shoes!  The bright colors look neat on her, imo.

I'm torn about Howleen.  I love her outfit and accessories, and I DO like her with pink hair... but I don't like her with straight cut bangs like she has here. :/ 
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 14

Oh wow, I lovelovelove Twyla! :lovey: Everything about her is just wonderful! And her (dust)bunny pet! :squee: The Howleen is super adorable too, and pink Cushion is so great! I really want them both. Buuut both Gigi and the Lagoona are much too bland for me :huh: Good for the wallet though!

Is that a dreamcatcher on her purse?

It does kinda look like it. I'm trying to figure out what's on her belt? Edit: It's a spider hanging from her belt, I think. And definitely a dreamcatcher on her purse.

The Color Me Creepy lab pieces are so cute. And I love that ghoul's dress and shoes!

But Howleen soon discovers that each wish comes with a dark side and finds herself under an evil spell of temptation that wreaks havoc on the student body of Monster High™. Join Frankie Stein™, Clawdeen Wolf™, Draculaura™, Abbey Bominable™ and the rest of the Monster High™ ghouls on an all-new DVD movie adventure as they strive to save Howleen… and the very soul of Monster High™!

She has some reallly long nails too. And I think she has some kind of scorpion aspect to her as well. If you look at her arms and legs, there are details that make it look like her skin is plated. (I don't know how else to word it) Edit: And now her hair reminds me of a scorpion tail.

I love the look of the 13 Wishes party dolls, though I wish they'd stop making Draculaura with the open mouth...

Twyla...I love the details, but why make her face blue when the rest of her body is white to grey? It kind of throws me off. I don't mind Lagoona's super yellow hair...her body color is almost teal though...it's kind of strange. And with her lips being just a few shades darker, it makes her look kind of plain but super bright at the same time.

They've got the Musical Festival dolls listed on the site too, although it just comes up blank at the moment. Better keep our eyes on that site, as they'll no doubt add some pics eventually.

Also, I still think Gigi and Twyla have the harpy and siren heads, which may explain discrepancies such as Twyla's head color not matching her body. We'll just have to wait for some in-box pics to see what their final release versions look like.

MONSTER HIGH Doll + Playset/Die-ner and DRACULAURA #Y7719 :

Who's hungry? Not one who enjoys classic food, Draculaura has opened a die-ner to offer a menu designed to please the ghouls of Monster High. Classic items include bat-winged tomato soup with grilled cheese, milkshakes and a ghost pie (that sits boo-tifully on the cake stand). Hungry die-ners can fang out at the iCounter in a tombstone stool or on a bench at the coffin-shaped table. The spook-tacular decor features a counter with oven and grill behind it, dangling signage decorated with a Skullete detail, a clock on top of the counter and a mini-Tombbox (jukebox). The food is to die for - and to pay for, at the register before you go! Boo appetit!

MONSTER HIGH Music Festival Doll Assortment #Y7692 :

Ghouls like to groove, and a music festival is sure to be a howling good time! Each of these music-lovers is dressed to express their favorite genre. Venus McFlytrap doll will draw others in with her hip plunk attitude and dress - that's plant punk, for the uninitiated. Clawdeen Wolf doll is ready to rock and roar in an R&B-inspired jumpsuit, looking fierce - as always! And Abbey Bominable defines cool in an outfit that celebrates the music associated with Himalayan heritage. Each doll carries a VIP badge to get them backstage. Dolls cannot stand alone and will be sold separately, subject to availability

They keep adding stuff :dizzy:

Eek. That Gigi.. Scary long nails.. And her body looks like it's melting at some of the joints. The little wavy lines the molded onto her body do not work for me.. I don't know if it is meant to be scorpion like or not, but It's bleh. I saw her color nd said "Yay! A doll that seems more flesh tone!" But with the odd lines in her mold, that will make her useless for me to grab her for future customization purposes.

And Lagoona being brighter because she is fresh water makes no sense. Some of the most colorful, brightest, vibrant fishes are salt water! Meh. I think that the fashion choices they make for Lagoona keep me from falling in love with her. I want the original Lagoona in her webisode outfit.. All the other dolls have clothes that just seem overdone and silly.

13 Wishes Party Doll Draculaura seems to have the older smaller hands.. Am I wrong?

But Clawdeen's dress! Under all the fluffy skirts, there is a killer mini dress!

It's odd. I generally dislike tinsel in hair, but at least from these pictures the tinsel looks pretty tame. As in, not flying all over the place. Here's hoping that the actual dolls look as good!

I need that Clawdeen. Love the gold lips.  Howleen too....and that Lagoona looks amazing to me. :heart: I am sick of Frankie at times...but love this version. Right now I don't like the new characters but that's because of mismatched colors and the fact that I need to see the in box product.

Do not want that Draculaura... so that's good.  :P

Wow at the newly released pictures! The 13 Wishes party assortment dolls look great. I especially love Frankie, she is totally stealing the spotlight for me; she looks fierce as hell with the gold makeup. Lala has the face I don't like with the open-mouth fangs though.

Twyla's outfit and body are fantastic but I do not like her face... she reminds me too much of CAMs. Gigi is probably a pass--I don't think I like anything about her. Howleen looking adorable as always and Lagoona looks really interesting! It looks like her yet it doesn't. Is Twyla gonna have the Howleen-sized body?

Yep, believe so. And I think puku is right, they do look like they're using existing headmolds for these handpainted protos... though like Tropical_Sunset said I feel like Twyla's got Abbey's mold rather than the Siren's. Gigi really looks like she's got the Harpy's.

God, to be honest I LOVE the 13 Wishes Draculaura. That dress is to die for! I really like Frankie's look (her staples are gold!) but I feel like the sheer amount of blue makes her hair way too much like Cleo's.

Speaking of -- where is Cleo in this line? :? She's been in almost every single movie, and she has rendition dolls for one of them.

ooohh, almost forgot; Twyla is a MUST BUY, what a cutie! (And yeah, her and Gigi's heads are probably not going to be their final ones.)

I still haven't gotten my hands on Jinafire or Skelita or RM Clawdeen and Wonder Wolf *so behind sobsob*

I'm right there with you Ravie... I really want Wonder Wolf - she's the first Clawdeen I have wanted. I'm not sure if I want Jinafire or Skelita. I think both are really pretty, just havn't decided if they are a MUST have or not.

I love Twylas shoes, but don't see anything else about her that I am in awe of. I think that Gigi is just adorable and I must have her... I don't think I want any of the others though...

I actually love them all except the new Lagoona. She looks just like all the other ones, IMO.

But the 13 Wishes dolls are a real surprise. Sure, they're old characters, but they look so different that they simply warrent a purchase. They are stunning! Only some of the stuff has been revealed and I'm already in love. I wonder what else we'll find out about at the toy fair?!

Cleo comes with an oasis-themed hot tub playset. Don't know if the pic was leaked yet or not. There's also Spectra, who comes with a DJ tent thing with real speakers and an audio jack so you can hook up your mp3 player.

I go to sleep and miss all the good stuff!!  Ahhhhhhh I need that Frankie like I need cheese! She is amazing.  Draculara and Clawdeen are just perfection.  I might be alone in this, but I am loving that new Lagoona.  Hooray for neon hair:)

The new ghouls are nice, I do so loves me a genie and Twyla has a lovely face.  Buuuuuuut the new monster I'm most looking forward to this year is Wydowna.  Gigi and Twyla are pretty but not monstrous enough.

The plating on Gigi's limbs is throwing me off, but I like long nails. I like her more than I thought I would. I'll have to see her in person to decide. I love Twyla's skirt.

The 13 Wishes party girls are too over-the-top for me like Ghouls Rule.
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 14
Post by: Mandy85 on February 08, 2013, 08:11:39 AM
I'm still not sold on that Lagoona, but she's growing on me. I think she looks better in the new promo than she did in the one that was leaked prior. It's strange that she's bright and colorful as a freshwater character, when you'd think a creature that lived near a reef would actually be brighter. ;)

Still think Twyla is adorable and I'm hoping that she glows in the dark. Gigi, well, I'm liking her more than I was. I think her scorpion theme is clever and I love that there's another character with freckles. I've always had a thing for them. :) Still, I'm not as excited about these two as I have been for new characters in the past. Maybe my mind will change once I'm able to see them in person, since I still plan to add them to my roster. I'm so happy to see the pets back, it's something I always miss when they're not included.

The Party dolls are gorgeous, but I'll likely be skipping those. I love the black dress on Clawdeen though, I'm really hoping it's a separate piece from her purple skirt because I'd like to track it down eventually.

I can't wait to see promos for the Music Festival dolls! :)

Hehehe!
Part of the reason why she is a must-have for me. What a cutie!
And the close-up finally shows more of her dream/nightmare theme. Dreamcatchers, bunny plush (dustbunny? *g*) and I still think the thorns are a nod to Sleeping Beauty.
I'm not kidding, I've fallen in love with this doll *swoons*

Edit: Just noticed that Gigi has skin like a scorpion! I love that! If only she wasn't so peachy-pink..

Finally- official pics!  So... no Wydowna hmm?   Starting to think again that she will be the SDCC doll...

Oh, Gigi - I freaking love her.  When I originally saw the leaked photos I immediately thought her hair looked like a scorpion tail and I am really excited that it's intentional.  The other dolls are a little "meh" for me, but Gigi.. oh man.  A scorpion genie girl with freckles and a bitchin chest tattoo, oh I'm a little in love.  I do kinda wish she wasn't pink, but *shrug*. 

And the Color Me Creepy lab is so cool!  Mad scientist's dungeon, aw yeah.

Can't wait to see the Music Festival dolls, especially Venus!

Post by: Tropical_Sunset on February 08, 2013, 09:46:55 AM
I am so curious to see what Twyla will look like without Abbey's head.  I can't wait to see her own, original headmold design!  I think her head is a different color than her body in the prototype pics because they painted Abbey's blue head white and the blue underneath is showing through the white paint.  So I imagine that the final product of Twyla will be all white/very light grey with silvery grey hands and feet.  I am excited to see how different final Gigi and Twyla will be from the prototypes we're seeing now.  I imagine their clothes will be pretty much the same, but their headmolds and paint details/colors will be a little different.  I love my Catrine of course, but I like the thinner-lipped prototype with the softer eyes a bit more than the final design...

I absolutely adore the Party Ghouls!  They are so pretty!  So apparently, Draculaura, Clawdeen and Frankie get turned into Genies?  They all have their own Genie bottles and the golden bracelets signifying bondage to their lamp ala Aladdin.  I am starting to like Twiyla more and more.  I am trying to like Gigi but really failing.  Her light pink skin and bright pink hair just make her look plain? washed oujt?  Just not stunning as a genie should.  I like her outfit and pet though.  I like Lagoona more than I thought I would and I like Howleen's outfit.  Can't wait to see better pix of Cleo and Spectra with their sets as well as the other lines. 

I wonder if the world of ponies over at Hasbro will have as many cool things to show for the MLP line.  I kind of doubt it the way they have been putting stuff out lately...getting kind of boring.

How easy (and or dangerous) is it to remove hands/forearms on dolls?  I'm planning on doing a custom, but the character has long white gloves on.  The idea of sewing itty bitty gloves (especially with the splayed fingers the girls tend to have) seems daunting, so if the arms are pretty easily removeable and I'm not going to risk breaking stuff it might be easier to just buy a replacement set for Nefera and paint the gloves directly onto one set of arms.

Her dolls are usually lovely in the face though and I like her retro style. Sometimes I really dislike her hairstyles (SS Ghoulia springs to mind).

I didn't care for Ghoulia at all at first, but she has really grown on me. She's always a "plain" doll, but very pretty for it, and she's a cute character in the show. I love how she's the brains of the outfit.

I agree, her best looks are bang-less. Signature, GB, and Scaris are some of her best looks.

I have to say SS Ghoulia was one of the first dolls I bought and that drew me into buying more.  Ghoulia is definitely not my favorite Ghoul but she has quite a few renditions that I really like: SS, Scaris, GB, DotD, Sig.

I know a lot here seem to hate 13 Wishes Clawdeen's golden pout but I love it!  Only reason I haven't gotten rid of Sister Clawdeen is because of her golden makeup and lipstick.  Maybe now I can since there is another, better looking one on its way.

i just got skelita today and i took her out of the box and now i have a question about her. do her legs and arms bend? her arms do bend/fold, but not as easily as the other dolls. her legs do not want to bend, not wanting to try without breaking them. kind of dumb if she cant sit.
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 14

So I was at Walmart today with my bestie and the MH was bare. However one of her good friends was working and he checked out the back and brought up a case of Scaris dolls! She wanted Skellita while I wanted both and we were so lucky because they had 2 Skellitas and 1 Jinafire! I was so excited!!!

So I wrote to Mattel expressing my disappointment in the CAM's coming with 1 torso. They wrote back today saying that they are going to include 2 torsos in each pack, plus the torso set they were selling is discontinued and they are sending me a green torso with upper limbs in the mail... Wasn't what I expected as a outcome at all... I am happy to hear they are going to make changes, but I had hoped they would have said they were going to sell the torso pack in the stores, not discontinue them. :( I still need a blue torso for my poor alien girl.

I'm confused... why are they named '1600 and Pregnant' other than a tribute to the show?  Especially since the dolls aren't re-shaped to be pregnant, they have little Cabbage Patch Kid babies.  I'd find a re-shaped MH dolls to be a little freaky, considering that all her clothes would have to be specially commissioned, LOL!  :-p

Ok, I've been spending the day stuck inside.  Due to the 20+ inches of snow that got dumped on us in the last 24 hours, there is a driving ban in the state of Massachusetts.  Can't wait for more official Toy Fair news cause I'm slowly losing my mind!!!!  At least the kids aren't sick anymore :lol:

70s style? I don't see it. I thought she was just water themed.

I like the 13 wishes and other new dolls. They are doing a good job keeping things creative even with the SAME characters over n over n over again. And having a few new characters as well.

Anyways Matell.com now has the new CAM sets for sale.

I honestly think her outfits are the worst of all the girls. There's just nothing interesting or fashionable about them, and aqua/pink is so...80s to me. And not in a good way.

On another note, I dropped Ghoulia's red glasses on the floor by accident today and they cracked right in half. I'm so upset!

Catrinecatrinecatrine~!

Found her whilst out grocery shopping (TRU didn't even have a tag for the Werecat fearleading pack, did have two Werecat twins though, never seen them there!), so that's awesome. Our friend from church who took us out probably thought I was a crazy with the way I rushed at Catrine's box and squealed, oops. Can't say I'm not coming out of my shell....

Found all the DT2s at Books-A-Million, nearly snagged the Clawdeen but I'm glad I didn't! $16 for a slim box doll with no stand was not worth it, and would have prevented me from getting Catrine. I gotta get effort to wash out the poor kitty's hair though...

I'll get pictures in a bit. I wanted the gold to match her club fashion but it just doesn't really work (imho) with the reddish hair 1600 has.

Post Merge: February 09, 2013, 03:10:53 PM

I've decided my Clawdeen collection is lacking due to not displaying her fashions, so I decided to do that. BTW, looking for her wave 4 fashion at a reasonable price if anyone can help me. So, that's why I took this one and tried to be fancy and make her really goldy but somehow it just doesn't do it for me.

I think they want to get more interest in the movie than the toys, since the dolls are so popular. So it becomes "MOMMY MOMMY LOOK THERE'S A MOVIE THAT HAS MY GENIE/DRAGON/SKELETON IN IT WE GOTTA GET IT~!"

Not necessarily. They usually show up in the system months before their release. Most of the Toy Fair stuff are Summer/Fall, but some are spring releases. Like last year, they revealed Rochelle and Jackson who were released in May.

Also, look what I found on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Toralei-Daughter-of-the-Werecat-Monster-High-doll-Toralei-Stripe-/261161536875?_uhb=1&pt=US_Dolls_Bears_Toys&hash=item3cce70cd6b&nma=true&si=%252BlVRsZBlkcHfypyFm9SQhGva4H0%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Toralei-Daughter-of-the-Werecat-Monster-High-doll-Toralei-Stripe-/261161536875?_uhb=1&pt=US_Dolls_Bears_Toys&hash=item3cce70cd6b&nma=true&si=%252BlVRsZBlkcHfypyFm9SQhGva4H0%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557)

Someone's taken Toralei, put her in her fashion pack, stuck her back in her box, and then returned her to the store, which has put her back on the shelf. She's then been purchased by a clueless person, who is now now selling her on ebay. Looks like someone has pointed this out to that person, judging by the description.

I understand that part but on the back of the box, it has a picture of Toralei in her fashion pack :blink: I'm not sure what to think about it either.

Post by: Bow Tie on February 09, 2013, 08:34:47 PM
They cut out the fashion pack box and put it on the back of the box. Toralei is supposed to have Operetta and Nefera on the bottom. You can also see the color differences. The box is lighter than the fashion pack pictures and you can see where it was cut. The spider webs don't match up either.
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 14
Post by: crimsondeity on February 09, 2013, 08:40:37 PM
I find it all very suspect. There's the fashion pack cutout inside the box, along with the doll; the whole purpose of the cut-outs is to show what the character will look like in the clothing. If the doll is wearing it, what's the point? And the doll has obviously been removed. Anyone who's ever bought one of these knows how many ties and bands they use to hold them tight.

The really confusing thing is the box art. Aside from the artwork, which is all from that wave's fashions, it shows the MH video game, which came out around the holiday season, 2011. And while I can't see the blurb (the seller has conveniently left out the zoom function), it's similar in length and spacing to the signature boxes, whereas the fashion packs have just a little blurb. Either someone went to a lot of trouble to fiddle with the box before returning it to the store, or the seller was trying to pull a fast one and got called on it. Not too hard to get a spare Toralei from the fearleading pack, and redress her in the fashion pack.

Thank you for explaining Bow Tie. I knew that the doll was obviously tampered with by the seller but I couldn't figure out how they managed to get the back like that. Now I see the spiderwebs XD I'm surprised it sold for so much even after the seller's obvious description.

You are so welcome! :) I knew it was tampered with too just from the front, but I didn't even realize they had a picture of the back and what it looked like. I think people are still just going crazy for Toralei. I know the 3 Pack still hasn't hit everywhere in the US so she's still probably going for a high price 'til she's more readily available. At least, that's just my opinion.
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 14
Post by: crimsondeity on February 09, 2013, 09:07:26 PM
Oh yeah, you can definitely see the differences in that closer shot. My money's still on the seller trying to pull a fast one. I mean, it could have been a return, but who goes to the trouble of doctoring the box like that? If a store employee is going to notice the difference between the picture on the box and what the doll in the box is wearing, they're certainly going to realize that the box has been played with. And most places, you don't need the box anymore. TRU does, I think. But places like Walmart and Target don't.

Personally, I don't think I'd want to deal with this seller.

Sell her to meeeeeee!!  Hehe, did I just say that out loud?  So no Wydowna making an appearance yet:(.  I am Michelle's sad face.

I am so excited about the new dolls and especially the new outfits coming out this year.  So much for slowing down my collection. 

pfft, i might take you up on that esp. since I snagged another DT Clawdeen from Dollar General wallago.

Anyone looking for DT2? There's like two or three of each that's been hanging around for awhile (on the top shelf where kids can't even see em)

ps. someone seriously paid $137 for that?? wtf is wrong with people?

I'm confused... why are they named '1600 and Pregnant' other than a tribute to the show?  Especially since the dolls aren't re-shaped to be pregnant, they have little Cabbage Patch Kid babies.  I'd find a re-shaped MH dolls to be a little freaky, considering that all her clothes would have to be specially commissioned, LOL!  :-p

LOL that is soooo wrong... The Cabbage Patch kid babies put me right in the mind of Garbage Pail Kids!

Yeah Gigi is pretty with her lighter pink skin (at least from what we can see) but I guess I too would prefer a darker shade!

Oh and PS Bow Tie: did you get the ponies at TJ Maxx you wanted?

I would love another Nefera release :( or other tall ladies!~

Gigi is the same height as the main ghouls right? She looks taller, but that's probably just hope.

Twyla is on the Howleen-sized torso, but Gigi is a standard female torso size. I've seen pics with them standing next to each other, and she's the same height as Lagoona. Well, unless you count her hair :D

I think if these do well, then there's always the possibility that we could see more signature re-releases in the future, especially since this isn't their first time bringing older dolls back. Lagoona was one of the original girls alongside Frankie, Clawdeen, and Draculaura, and her signature doll is missing from this wave as well, so maybe their next round could be something like Lagoona, Ghoulia, and Toralei?

Should be interesting to see what happens. :) Releasing only three characters at once also allows for a more even distribution if they plan them at two of each doll per case.

Re-releases means more distributions of ones people missed out one, which means more are gonna pop up in the near future > the value of originals are gonna go down, > scalpers won't be making much money as they were before, > they'll (hopefully) stop with MH and move onto the next big thing!

Nessa, in the quote it says they weren't allowed to take pictures so I doubt videos were allowed either :huh: I kinda hope someone took some pictures to share though, like how people take videos at concerts.

And hooray for DT Spectra and Robecca confirmed! :squee: Wasn't there a new DT Lagoona rumoured alongside them too? I wonder if she was there but got overlooked. Hiding in her shower :P

The Venus is my favorite; her eyes are so beautiful and I love her tattered top. I think this trumps her other two releases so far.

Clawdeen looks weeeeird to me with those eyed and that open-fanged smile which I dislike... I also wasn't a fan of those boots on wave 2 Clawdeen and I'm not a huge fan of them now. She's a real pass for me.

Abbey looks so adorable! She looks like she popped out of Woodstock or something. <3

I agree with you 100%! I adore this release of Venus more than her other two and I will definitely be grabbing her! I don't even care if I get her basic or not anymore. This one is so much better!

Clawdeen is just bleah! Just awful. The color combo just doesn't sit right with me either. I wish they would have had Operetta or Holt in this line instead. They would have fit in much better than Clawdeen.

Abbey is absolutely adorbs! I love her bangs and I just absolutely need her! She is by far my favorite Abbey! I like her Scaris, but this one blows all the other ones out of the water!

Venus's outfit, color scheme and everything looks AMAZing together, her faceup the most, but arrgh, I wish I waited to see her before deciding on which Venus to bait...*stares at SL Venus with her flocking removed*  -_-

Abbey is all...undescribable, but she gets bangs again!

Clawdeen...I know purple and gold is her color scheme, but omg sometimes there are times when it can get all redundant. Looks almost like PG Clawdeen's Alter Ego or something when she isn't Wonder Wolf.

Venus OMG!!! *Runs around and Squees* :squee:

Abbey: Cute outfit, and I love the hair. But I fail to see Himalayan anything here. Unlike Jin and Skelita, I don't think they've ever really portrayed much of her heritage as it ties into real life. Talking about snowman building contests and storing your cheese with your clothes doesn't count.

Venus: I adore her makeup. The outfit is really cute, but it seems more of a fashion pack than a themed outfit. And it doesn't seem very punk or plant-like. Another nitpick- why does she have the same hair? Yes, it's pretty cutting-edge for playline, but it's virtually the same as her last two.

Clawdeen: My least fave. I think the pantsuit is cute, but not very detailed. I don't mind re-used shoes (well, boots), but the overall look is pretty bland. Love the hair, but the open mouth and smaller eyes aren't doing it for me.

While I like it better than DC, this line seems similar; a handful of characters popped into a line with a random title. There's nothing really cohesive about it, and the only character that has any tie to music is Venus. I think I'd like it better if it was just a group of them going to a concert. The description seems to indicate that they represent different styles of music, and the actual dolls fail to deliver on that. It's main selling point to me is another Venus. And no Lala shoehorned in!

One of my friends pointed out that most of Operetta's fashions are music-themed, so putting her here wouldn't really have made her stand out. I sort of agree, but I think she would have made more sense representing a genre of music. And this would have been the perfect line to release another Holt into. Of course, there's still plenty of time for an exclusive three-pack or a case refresh.

That Venus is lovely, really like it a lot. Abbey is ok, not too sure whether I'd be interested in getting her. Clawdeen sadly is a mess... she seems to be rather hit and miss it seems with me. She just looks like a plain version of Wonder Wolf... I prefer her 2.0 boots coloring to this one. Also, what is with the open-mouth smile... I hope it doesn't lead to the drooling look of Draculaura

Wow, I Sooooo just realized that. She's one of the "Foreign" girls, yet nothing screamed foreign for her in a while, just memerable quotes stated.

Totally agree! same hair style, but instead of green and pink, it looks like it's gonna be pink and black. I mean, Yay, she she's gotten a hairstyle that's never been done in the doll world, but seeing how the flocking can wash out and easily get ruined, repeating it doesn't seem to help. >,< a little OT, but I wouldn't even consider her Swimline release a "new" release, same exact faceup, shorter hair by a tidbit, only thing new is the outfit.

I did notice that Mattel has a hard time understanding what hip hop is actually supposed to be... (See DC Howleen).
lol remember when Mattel tried to do hip hop dolls and released that doll line: "Flavas" XD Didn't last a year and they got discontinued to the ground HARD with controversy.

Seriously. She's really more like a Russian yeti rather than a Himalayan one, what with her accent and the fur-lined ensemble. And now she's like a Russian hippie. I like her boots though.

I agree. Give us a Venus with a proper mohawk! Or just give us a fashion pack.

I love Abbey's top and boots.  I think that's the only things from the music festival line that I just have to have.  I really wish they'd make some clothes for Clawdeen using the color scheme from her first signature release, with the peach and purple.  Just imagine those same boots she's wearing here done in black, with sparkly peach details and purple accents.

Hot Stuff is one of my favorite summer songs! Now THAT is a song to blast and dance around to in your underwear!

Of note, I think Mattel ALWAYS always releases dolls back to back that look fairly similar. Suddenly we started seeing Ghoulia with a very short hairstyle, Abbey with bangs, Clawdeen with reallllly big hair, Operetta with a ponytail, etc.

Thought I'd share this here. They always do great Toy Fair coverage. What are everyone's thoughts on the poster with every character released faces on it also showing Heath Burns, Invisi Billy, and Moe.

I know Heath has been confirmed in a 2 pack but what about the other 2 boys?
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 14
Post by: PonySeeker128 on February 11, 2013, 06:22:53 AM
Maybe I can actually go without buying one doll.. Clawdeen. I still doubt this will happen. As usual she will come to stores and my poor voice of reasoning will have me saying "well, I'm getting the others, I may as well get her too".

I like that Abbey, who's getting knee high boots! Whoohoo! Venus is cute, I will get her. I feel like variation in her dolls needs to start happening or I'm going to just start buying her for stock and selling the doll. I honestly don't have room for 20 dolls that look the exact same. A couple duplicates, sure.. but not an every single line sort of deal. Granted, if I had the room.. it wouldn't matter. Lol
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 14
Post by: DazzleKitty on February 11, 2013, 06:24:18 AM
I am hoping to find Heath when he comes out. I don't have any boys. Looked for Deuce but cannot find him anywhere that carries Scaris. It really is a shame they don't make more of the boys.

But I am surprised people don't like the 13 Wishes Clawdeen doll. I have seen many negative opinions on her. I think she's really pretty.
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 14
Post by: Zapper on February 11, 2013, 06:25:08 AM
My first impression: "Wow, talk about re-using your molds :("

Abbey: Cute outfit, and I love the hair. But I fail to see Himalayan anything here. Unlike Jin and Skelita, I don't think they've ever really portrayed much of her heritage as it ties into real life.

This.
I was so hyped when I read the descriptions of the Music Festival dolls and was especially interested in Abbey. Looking at her now in high-res and she disappoints me. I was expecting something along the lines of her Basic doll, just looking a bit more like this (http://www.himalayan-mercantile.com/adornments/BhutaneseChuba.jpg) or this (http://cdn-s3-2.wanelo.com/product/image/290910/original.jpg) with a huge scarf and beads around her neck.
If they wanted to go for hippie, they could have incorperated the Himalayan theme much better. The top and boots are cute, but everything else has been seen before.
I hope that the thingies on her boots are removable, though. I might be interested in them.

Venus: I adore her makeup. The outfit is really cute, but it seems more of a fashion pack than a themed outfit. And it doesn't seem very punk or plant-like. Another nitpick- why does she have the same hair? Yes, it's pretty cutting-edge for playline, but it's virtually the same as her last two.

Urgh, I agree yet again! That isn't Punk at all. Another disappointment.
And they also seem to be really lazy with her plant theme. Man, I would milk this theme! There are sooo many plants you can draw inspiration from, Mattel. Get off your butts!

Clawdeen: (...) I think the pantsuit is cute, but not very detailed. I don't mind re-used shoes (well, boots), but the overall look is pretty bland. Love the hair, but the open mouth and smaller eyes aren't doing it for me.

The hair and pantsuit are what I like most about her. It makes her look 80s Glam instead of Hip Hop, though.
The face looks weird, indeed.

Okay, final verdict? I don't want any of them. That's good for my wallet, but I had high hopes for this line and now I feel grumpy XD
Especially because of Venus. Her Basic release is much more "Punk" than this and still the best Venus doll in my opinion.
I'm waiting for a fashion pack.

Me either.  That's okay though.  I wasn't really expecting to be and just means more money to buy other dolls and ponies that are coming out!

I am hoping to find Heath when he comes out. I don't have any boys. Looked for Deuce but cannot find him anywhere that carries Scaris. It really is a shame they don't make more of the boys.

But I am surprised people don't like the 13 Wishes Clawdeen doll. I have seen many negative opinions on her. I think she's really pretty.

I love the 13 Wishes Clawdeen, so you are not the only one.  I absolutely love the gold lipstick that everyone seems to hate.  That is the only reason I have kept my Sister Clawdeen doll is because of her golden pout.  Now that the 13 Wishes doll is coming out I can probably get rid of her.

I want to see more pictures!  Let's go sneaky people lol.

I like everything but the hair, but that's because I know if they did that it would be hard as a diamond and I'd wash it out and make it limp anyway. I'd like a cool bob on her for it, but yeah some of the other mods would send it over the top for me.

Oh man, I just thought of something I might do if I nab her. Toss Sig Toralei's jacket on her.. hm... might look decent (for me at least).

I think what I like most about this Venus is the fact that her hair leads with pink instead of green.

I absolutely adore your redesigned Venus, Zapper! I may have to use Robecca's leather vest from her Basic and paint the trim on the sleeves pink to match her oufit since they're gold.

I wouldn't have minded if they just cut her hair short. I love spikes, but all that glue. @_______@

I think a few simple modifications using other MH clothing or other doll clothes that fit would make her more edgier and more punk! I still find her pretty the way she is, but I definitely don't mind pushing the envelope and making her more edgier!

Meh to the MF stuff ... I don't think Venus is pink/black hair though. I think that's lighting. I swear I can see a hint of green when I zoom in on my phone. Her outfit is cute enough, but not very plant. :( oh well.

I'm glad that each doll at least has found someone here to live her though :)

I'm gonna ignore the actual descriptions since IMO the dolls look more like:
Clawdeen - disco
Venus - electronica(?)
Abbey - New Age (Does not look Himalayan AT ALL)

I'm hoping MF dolls are a budget line, since they certainly look it, and I'll be glad to see smaller-box doll w/ earrings again.

My guess is budget too. I wouldn't pay $20 for these. $13 (give or take a dollar depending on the store) is about right.

Since 13W ghouls are gonna be deluxe and the "dance" line with Frankie, Clawdeen and Draculaura are gonna also be deluxe (I'm assuming) ETA: Forgot about the Ghouls Night Out. >,>; Then there's a possibility that this line could be a budget line, which would be even better!

Okie, I totally agree. Just some dolls as the same size as Nefera would be stellar. I love that curvy body she has! I'd love to see one of Abbey's big sister in particular. She is a Yeti after all, and they're big!

Perhaps she's carrying Gil's child? It would definitely explain why her face seems a bit, er, puffy! I would have expected this of Toralei, but certainly not Lagoona!

Overall, I have to say I'm unimpressed with the 13 Wishes line. I like the general idea of the line, but not the execution. And I suppose I'm a bit peeved that MORE new signature dolls are being released before Wydowna who is a zillion times more original, interesting, and monster-like than Gigi and Twyla.

The music festival dolls are *so* disappointing.  They all look like they were just thrown together with very little thought to the designs.  Seriously, how freaking hard is "punk" to pull off, and they didn't even manage that. 

Edited to add:  Looking closely at the pics, Venus has a green design on the flocked side of her head.  Interesting.

Love your Venus redesign, Zapper! I'm still loving all the MF dolls, though. :heart: And it'd be great if they're budget-line... it does seem like it, since there aren't even any purses or brushes in the promos?

And I'm loving all the great pics of actual!Twyla trickling out of Toy Fair, too. Her skin tone looks really neat (more purple than Operetta's pinky-lavender, it seems?) and I love her face mold. Hnnggh, dying for her :hearts:

I can't say I'm sad about the lack of additional releases of Nefera, because I didn't even want the original one, but I'd love other ghouls made with that taller body. A big sister for Abbey would be awesome! Or for Ghoulia? Doesn't she have a sister named Moanica in the books? (I haven't read them, I've just seen that somewhere...)

I love 13 wishes Clawdeen so you aren't alone :) her gold lipstick is beautiful :) I am most excited for Heath of course, but then 13 wishes line. I'm still iffy on Lagoona - I'm not a fan of her really, I understand the concept on why she looks as she does but she just doesn't look like Lagoona.

Music Festival is meh. I think Venus is gorgeous the way she is and personally am thinking if they spiked the hair, it would look like DotD Lagoona and I really don't like all that goo in their hair. I think Clawdeen's music festival may be my first pass of buying a doll - I just don't like her at all - especially as others have pointed out, her open mouthed fangs just don't do it for me.

Course I will have to see them in person first :)

Is anyone else having a problem with bad seams on the legs of the new Swim dolls? One of my Lagoonas and my Venus have a cracked seam on the right knee. I was so excited to open them until I noticed the cracks. :cry: Now I have to wait and find new ones before I can open and display them.

I am also lacking MH clothes to mix and match. I do have some clothes from some of the dolls I chose to put fashion packs on and some random pieces, but the ones that I do have don't work well together. I have a couple of nude Lagoonas that I got from some lovely members here and I don't have anything to really go with them other than the extra Lagoona stock from my extra Lagoonas that are in other outfits. :cry: It doesn't help that 50% of my collection is Lagoona and the other 50% are random dolls that I'm keeping in their stock outfits except for a few of them.

I am waiting for a few outfits that I bought from a member here to put on them. I did put one of them in her Classroom dress and used her DDG accessories and shoes and she just looks absolutely darling! <3

TL;DR: I need to buy more MH outfits. Especially if I want to keep my Lagoona army growing. :lol:

The bad seams are why I haven't bought any swimline dolls yet. All the ones I've seen....granted only one store has them here yet.....but they've all had bad leg seams.   :cry:


And someone might have already answered this but is Twyla small like Howleen?  Because between the two Gigi looks larger.

I just came home from Kmart with new Swimsuit Venus!   :biggrin:

Just a heads up for everyone to start checking. No luck on the roller maze 2 pack with Clawdeen. They put out another whole case with Ghoulia instead. :(

Alittle late, but I wanted to point out that Clawdeen is a single RM doll, and Abbey has been re-released as a single too, so if you are looking for Clawdeen amongst the double pack dolls, you won't find her:(  You have to sort through the piles of single pack RM dolls:(

That's hilarious; the budget dolls *are* $20 here.  God, I hate how expensive everything is in Canada, especially since I'm shopping with American funds.

Also, they seem to have stopped stocking sig Venus here for some reason.  I only ever saw a couple of her and now there aren't any at all, even though more Robeccas seem to keep popping up.  I wish I'd grabbed one of her when I had the chance; I love her so much.

*shares pain* The prices hurt EVERY. TIME. If only I wasn't 6+ hours from the border (and more like 10 hours from an American city!), I'd be shopping US stores, Canadian retailers be darned  :yucky:

I think PD has replaced the signature doll assortment now? They're being stocked under the "Core Dolls" tag when I see them. I still see the occasional leftover Robecca too, so there ought to be a few Venuses out there as well from that old assortment. But she's always disappeared way faster than Becca.  :( I hope you can find her soon! I can keep an eye out for you, too.

I haven't properly expressed my love for the 13 Wishes line here. I suppose a lot of it has to do with not being able to talk about it for a while; I got a lot of the initial excitement out of my system by squealing over it with a few of my friends who also saw the promos early.

I adore Gigi. I love the hair, the plating, the outfit... I even like her color, although I would have liked a reddish or deep orange color for her. But the pink is more a sandy pink, as opposed to the baby pink that Lala has. I have so many blue and green dolls! I'm also really looking forward to Twyla. I've wondered when they'd introduce a "monster under the bed" character for a long time. And yay for her having the shorter torso!

I love the deluxe line, with the three main ghoulfriends. Clawdeen's gold lips are fierce, and I love the blue in Frankie's hair. Even the well-worn, over-exposed Draculaura looks really cute here. Lagoona has grown on me, especially with better pics. I like the hairstyle, although it looks like she has enough gel in it for me to style my own hair for a month :P Howleen has a fun outfit, and I love how they matched Cushion's prickles to her hair. I'm really looking forward to better pics of the playset Cleo and Spectra.

I wonder when we'll see leaks of the new Classroom double packs? Now that we've gotten a rest from Ghoulia, I'm looking forward to another version of her, and I always love Cleo. And Heath! I need to see what he looks like as a doll!

I'm wondering if we'll see any new signatures for the spring/summer lineup. Three years of collecting has taught me that what we see leaked early is seldom everything. And they've been pimping Invisibilly in artwork a lot! And that sneak peek of AJ/Wydona makes me think she's still in the running for a release.

I was excited about the potential for new plushies when I spied that Frankie (I love her glittery face!), but then I looked closer and realized she has flat strips for hair. :cloud: That always looks terrible. While the yarn was so perfect! I'd rather see molded hair (so, the hair shape is part of the plush, like you see on anime plushies) than that. It isn't like you can brush it or anything. It's the reason I don't like those G4 plush ponies either...

I do love MF Abbey and Venus (even more so with Zapper's additions)! And Twyla. She has the CUTEST pet, and a great outfit. While it's cool that she's the smaller size, I wish they would make more Nefera-sized ghouls (or even another Nefera!). I looove that curvier body type.

Impatiently waiting for the second wave of Picture Day and Power Ghouls - I love every upcoming doll in both lines!!

WeepingPiano- I don't think it's really supposed to be an actual corset, but rather one of those stupid waist-cincher/bustier things. Or a high-waisted skirt with decorative lacing. It's kind of cute, but yeah, totally wrong for an actual corset. *shrug*

Tuney (and other fans of Wydowna :P ), someone made a custom of her:

Okay, liking Twyla -much- more now http://toyfair13.asmzine.com/gallery/mattel/monster-high/slides/DSC07055.html

Oh my gosh, the 13 Wishes Lagoona in that picture is hilarious-looking.  And perhaps pregnant.

Perhaps she's carrying Gil's child? It would definitely explain why her face seems a bit, er, puffy! I would have expected this of Toralei, but certainly not Lagoona!

Oh goodness, thanks for the laugh!  I needed that! XD

I'd love to see another larger doll, too.  I think that's the main reason I'm so excited for Headless Headmistress Bloodgood.  But I'd love to see more!!  I agree that a larger werewolf ghoul would be AMAZING!!  And I'm really longing for some Nefara, Howleen, and boy fashion packs....

I like Music Fair Venus alright, enough that I might get her but wouldn't be devastated if I didn't get her.

The other two...I'll pass.  Mattel, you keep using that word (Hip-Hop).  I do not think it means what you think it means.  I don't really like anything about that Clawdeen.  Her expression, her eyes, her outfit.  Not doing it for me.  She looks like a disco dancer.  Or maybe a woman on an 80's exercise tape.  Either way, not my favorite look for her.

Abbey's kind of cute but I don't see anything Himalayan about her.  And that skirt thing is SO short that it doesn't even look like a mini-skirt to me.  It just looks like Abbey forgot to put her pants on. And her makeup looks like it's the same old colors they almost ALWAYS use for her. :/

What kind of monster is Twyla?

Also I'm not sure if it was posted before, but Gigi has a scorpion theme going on her she has a tatoo on her chest  and some shell things in her arms and legs,. WOW this will explain the hairstyle as well.

See the pic http://toyfair13.asmzine.com/gallery/mattel/monster-high/slides/DSC07065.html




The shell things are Scorpians, she has Scorps on her pants too and her little pet is a Scorpian! :)

Am I the only person who thinks that Lagoona is fugly? She looks like....I dunno....her colors are too bright.

But I am really looking forward to Twyla the most. And even though I don't tend to buy reissues, I will be going after the 13 Wishes dolls. They look different enough from the originals, like they are new characters (except for Clawdeen which is still worth getting anyways because she's so darned pretty).

Clawd as MC Hammer/Stevie Wonder/Lionel Richie/Wayne Brady
Jackson as Phil Collins maybe?? Maybe Jackson Brown? Huey Louis and the News??
Deuce as Elton John with his sunglasses
Lagoona as Jewel
Spectra as Sarina Paris

Wow my 90's and 80's mind is diminishing I don't remember anymore at the top of my head, but I know there are more!! >,<;

I love her skin color, but I'm not a fan of the crayon-yellow hair and the fact that her lips blend in with her skin.

So I started to truly watch the TV show today. Wow, I think I even like it more than FiM! It's witty, creative, and just thoroughly entertaining. It gives me a newfound love for my MH dolls. I kinda wish they'd release the episodes on DVD. I'd rather watch them on TV than my computer.

Personally I think Lagoona needed some brightening up pretty badly. That being said, the outfit and hairstyle is just not working for her in my opinion. She looks like a hot mess. Maybe with some restyling and a change of wardrobe she'll look better, but it's hard to tell at this point. I will always be a strong proponent that Lagoona's signature face is the best of them all. They've clearly changed it a bit since then, and I don't think it's nearly as beautiful or charming as it was.

I'm happy to see he has flames on his sleevs :) And from what I can see on Ghoulia and Cleo (hard to tell because they are facing to the side), they both look really pretty. I love both of their outfits. Also, GNO Lagoona looks so pretty!

Cleo and Ghoulia also look adorable, I may have to pick both of these up. So, it looks like they're called "Lab Partners" and Heath and Abbey are "Double the Recipe." Cute! Love Heath's little oven mitt.

I was just about to post this! Squee!!! I'm so excited!!!! I think he actually has hair and not molded plastic hair like Holt!

I have to admit, I would prefer plastic hair. Translucent.
I'm not sure if I like him yet, the pic doesn't show enough of him. His outfit looks boring (I was hoping they would come up with something new) and he appears to have a normal "guy mold" for a body, which would make him slightly bigger than Abbey, which would kind of piss me off.
His shortness compared to tall amazon Abbey is what is so endearing about him (to me). If I had him I'd probably chop off his legs and make him worthless XD

Pretty sure you're correct. The dance lines tend to be a more deluxe line (although not as much as say, 1600 or GR). The outfits are fairly detailed, and they come with purses and an extra accessory. I anticipate these going for about what DDG went for.

I'm so excited about Heath-   I hope because he is in a double pack (and therefore likely more expensive) more of them will lurk on the shelf long enough to actually purchase.  After all, the other boy-packs did-  but that may have been before the craze started to get the boy dolls...

Was Heath unveiled at ToyFair?   But still no sign of Widowna I guess...

The boxes don't look as big as the boxes for deluxe lines. At least to me. They look slightly bigger than the budget line boxes.

If I remember correctly, the DDG boxes were a bit larger than the second wave of DotD (the originals had bigger boxes, similar to the "trapper keeper" style boxes the signatures originally had). But regardless, the dance lines are usually considered "deluxe" compared to the wide-release basic lines, like GB and SS. I'll be happy to be wrong if it means GNO goes for $12-$15 though! :)

I'm actually excited that Heath comes in his webisode outfit. This means that when we get his signature doll, we'll get a whole new look! I'm just sad none of the other boys so far have come with their letterman jackets! I also feel that the Classroom dolls tie in more with the webisodes than the other lines do; Lagoona came with that gargoyle egg and the three-eyed frog, which were both from webisodes.

It looks like the GNO line is going to be a slim box line..... or is that just me seeing things?

They look deluxe to me. Slim line boxes tend to haver very careful poses so that they fit and these girls are reaching out a bit. Also, I see a journal in Rochelle's box.

Pretty sure you're correct. The dance lines tend to be a more deluxe line (although not as much as say, 1600 or GR). The outfits are fairly detailed, and they come with purses and an extra accessory. I anticipate these going for about what DDG went for.

The boxes don't look as big as the boxes for deluxe lines. At least to me. They look slightly bigger than the budget line boxes.

If I remember correctly, the DDG boxes were a bit larger than the second wave of DotD (the originals had bigger boxes, similar to the "trapper keeper" style boxes the signatures originally had). But regardless, the dance lines are usually considered "deluxe" compared to the wide-release basic lines, like GB and SS. I'll be happy to be wrong if it means GNO goes for $12-$15 though! :)

I'm actually excited that Heath comes in his webisode outfit. This means that when we get his signature doll, we'll get a whole new look! I'm just sad none of the other boys so far have come with their letterman jackets! I also feel that the Classroom dolls tie in more with the webisodes than the other lines do; Lagoona came with that gargoyle egg and the three-eyed frog, which were both from webisodes.

But is GNO a dance line? It doesn't look like one to me. It looks like a "Night on the town" kind of line. You've got the Dance Class dolls that are budget. Either way, I'll happily get Lagoona and Spectra. :lol:

I am excited about that too! I love the letterman jackets! They are so cute! I would love to put one on Deuce!

If there's going to be a Sig version of him at all. We can't be sure if Mattel will go the Jackson Jekyll route with all boy dolls. After all we're still waiting for a Signature Gil :/

I'd advise everyone to buy this Heath and not wait for a Sig release. I will forever regret not buying SS Gil...

Oh, I'll definitely be getting both of these, regardless. I'm a completist, so not getting them in hopes of a signature release would leave a gap in my collection! However, I still think we'll get a signature of Gil; the question is when! We had to wait a long time after GB to get a signature Jackson. Personally, I think signatures should be released first, but that's not how Mattel works :P We do get at least one signature guy a year, so there's still hope for a Gil!

So many fans missed out on him and it's absolutely crazy what people are having to pay to track down a budget-line doll. At this point, he'd fly off the shelves.

I'd also accept Invisi Billy if we only see one signature boy this year.

That 2-pack Cleo has purple in her bangs in the artwork... maybe the doll has them?

But eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Heath! Maybe not so much the face mould, but eeeee! Those double packs look fun. Not too sure about the GNO dolls, I think I like Spectra but have reserved judgement for the most part.

I'm trying to stick to a one doll per character rule, but it's so hard with all the pretty new dolls coming out. I may end up getting GNO Rochelle to replace my Scaris Rochelle. I may end up getting GNO Spectra, depending on how different she looks from her previous versions, but if nothing else, I may just buy her for her outfit.

Heath looks super cute--I'm glad it seems like he's got real hair. I... will probably have to get that set just so they can go on a double date with Forbitten Love Lala and Clawd. ^^;

I don't know why they keep giving Abbey the same makeup. She keeps on getting pink lips. I want something different! Like a purple or something! :(

I feel the same way!  I was so excited about I <3 Fashion Abbey because she looks SO different from the others.  I wish Mattel would get a little more adventurous with her makeup, and with the other ghouls' overall color schemes.  For example, so...sick....of teal/pink for Lagoona. 

From what I can tell, I totally love the dolls in both of those two-packs!  Heath looks great and I'm glad he is wearing pants (seriously, the guy doll's legs look weird to me.  Why does Mattel keep giving them shorts???) I love that he has his jacket too!  And that Abbey looks super cute with those swept-to-the-side bangs!!  Cleo and Ghoulia look nice too!  I can't wait to see better pics of them.

I'm bummed that GNO is deluxe...If they were budget, I might have gotten Spectra... There are just so many deluxe dolls coming out that I want, that I can't possibly justify getting a doll that I'm not FREAKING out over.  If anyone has the code for "Infinite Money" in this life, please let me know! :P

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe MH fans have more respect in regards to the no pics rule than pony fans..? I dunno. I SAY BRING ON THE DISRESPECT AND UP THE HYPE. But that might be because I'm an impatient little brat >_>;. I mainly wanna see DT 2.0 Lagoona as it might be a nice sub for the original, which my fiance wants. He also wants all the Spectras...

What kind of monster is Twyla?

Also I'm not sure if it was posted before, but Gigi has a scorpion theme going on her she has a tatoo on her chest  and some shell things in her arms and legs,. WOW this will explain the hairstyle as well.

See the pic http://toyfair13.asmzine.com/gallery/mattel/monster-high/slides/DSC07065.html




The shell things are Scorpians, she has Scorps on her pants too and her little pet is a Scorpian! :)

The same person who leaked the photos of the Classroom 2-packs had a little blurb up on her tumblr earlier, confirming a wave 3 for Dead Tired (with Lagoona, Spectra, and Robecca) and the "Shoe Set" that had previously been circulating around the rumor mill that may be similar to the I <3 Fashion line. It appears as though the comment has since been deleted though.

I had originally heard that the set would include Draculaura and Clawdeen, but she had it listed as Draculaura and Cleo, so it'll be interesting to see what comes of it.

Wait...an I <3 Fashion Cleo?! Awww yeah. Even though I don't own any Cleos yet, she is fast becoming one fo my fave dolls. Next time I get paid I am searching out her school's out version and then PD.

I'm sorry :blush:  Did I miss something?  I get all my info from right here *points at the MH Discussion thread* and I don't remember an I <3 Fashion Cleo.  Did you see that somewhere else?  I'd love an extension to the I <3 Fashion line (I know about the shoe line, but I'm not too crazy about that idea, yet.  Need to see pics first.)  Anyway, typo? 

The same person who leaked the photos of the Classroom 2-packs had a little blurb up on her tumblr earlier, confirming a wave 3 for Dead Tired (with Lagoona, Spectra, and Robecca) and the "Shoe Set" that had previously been circulating around the rumor mill that may be similar to the I <3 Fashion line. It appears as though the comment has since been deleted though.

I had originally heard that the set would include Draculaura and Clawdeen, but she had it listed as Draculaura and Cleo, so it'll be interesting to see what comes of it.

I feel like the original blurb I heard about the line was for Clawdeen and Lala as well. Although I'd FAR prefer Cleo and Clawdeen lol. Both of them have more edgy makeup palette and design. Not to mention, I am so sick of Draculaura. I liked her initially, but she's just tired now. And while her original looks were very loli and interesting, a lot of her stuff is either a teensy mini (in black and pink, natch) or poofy and shiny. She's become the playline Barbie of MH!

I'd love it if they continued releasing dolls similar to I <3 Fashion, and more deluxe fashion packs. Oooh, and shoe/accessory packs! Or blind bag shoes.... *imagines jupi crazily rushing through stores, shoving whole boxes of blind bag shoes in her cart*

I love Lagoona too, and I'd love to see her get a I <3 Fashion doll of some sort. My only hesitation would be how hard it seems for the designers to give her cute outfits. Her signature, 2.0 and Classroom were awesome (well, minus the second outfit in Classroom), but so frequently, they seem struggle with finding her "look". Of course, it could be their chance to redeem themselves too!

That's how I feel too. She was the original "sporty" ghoul, and then they started mixing in a little boho, and suddenly you have a mess like PD. I feel they did the whole sporty/hippie mix better with Abbey, to be honest. It probably helps that boots are infinitely cooler than platform flip-flops :P But I love my 'goona; she was the one that made me take the plunge into MH. And her little hoodie from the signature line is probably one of my favorite individual pieces ever.

I wish they would go back to the "sporty" style instead of giving her a hippie look. Her SS doll was adorable, but I think the hippie style would fit Venus better. Lagoona was the very first doll I got and it all went uphill from there and now I have an army of her! Her hoodie is just absolutely darling! Her basic doll is by far my favorite! <3

I picked up a <3 Fashion Frankie last night and....I'm not sure I like her as much as my others.  :huh: I feel kind of bad because I asked my husband to make a special trip to ToysRus so I could get a doll, and he liked her more than the werecat twins and picked her out for me. But...she's just not fitting too well, I think it's her dark dark makeup or something. Hmm... :(

The problem with Lagoona's fashion is that she ISN'T fashionable. Her best look and biggest risk was her DotD dress. Since then she's played it safe - safe as in boring as hell (and often cringeworthy).

Part of the problem lies in her being excluded from most of the fancier lines - 1600, Ghouls Rule, etc. I want to see her edgier and better dressed. Her new 13 Wishes outfit is abysmal. Come on, Mattel. Give Lagoona's outfits as much thought as you do the other ghouls'! This is the daughter of the sea monster for crying out loud! Give her nobility! Give her sea goddess glamour! Give her a color scheme that's befitting of a sea monster. The ocean is full of color - royal blue, bright yellows, dashes of red. Get her out of that damned dated pink and aqua combo and put her in something that takes a risk. Please, for the love of all things Monster of the Black Lagoon, man up and DO IT!

Post by: dragonlady on February 13, 2013, 06:06:07 AM
Part of the problem is she *is* the sporty girl; Mattel for some reason thinks sporty =/= girly. If you google Sporty Fashionista Barbie and Tori from the Generation Girl line to see what I mean, they get the short end of the fashion stick when compared to the other girls in the same line.

I love a lot of the prints they've used for Lagoona's clothing and her accessories are among my favorites but like everyone else has said they need to give her better outfits!

I'm pretty hard-pressed to find a Lagoona outfit I don't like (I even think that aqua yoga suit from her fashion pack is cute). Her Sweet 1600 look was really pretty though... wish they'd given her a doll :c

(...) I am so sick of Draculaura. I liked her initially, but she's just tired now. And while her original looks were very loli and interesting, a lot of her stuff is either a teensy mini (in black and pink, natch) or poofy and shiny. She's become the playline Barbie of MH!

This is how I see it as well. Alas, she's pink and a vampire, she was prone to becoming the doll Mattel would throw at us the most. And I don't know if her decreasing style has to do with the number of Lala dolls that get churned out, but it seems so to me.

I have noticed that the fashion sense of many characters has changed since the beginning. That's not neccessarily a bad thing, but the way Mattel handles it right now it seems to me that the fashion for many dolls goes into a more negative than positive direction.
Of course, this is just me. I am insanely picky about dolls, since they are expensive for me. I enjoy them looking more "freaky", so I dislike the outfits that look too "safe" (e.g. a normal mini dress with bat print instead of a frilly goth look for Draculaura).

A few people have mentioned Lagoona as well, I'm just too lazy to pick out the quotes *g*
Her sporty Sig look is my favorite as well, so I'm hoping that she, too, will get a re-release. Her 2.0 look looked more like a sailor, which was cute as well, but the first one will be my love forever.

I definitely see a decrease in creativity the more (budget) dolls get made. Case in point, one of my all-time favorite characters: Abbey. She started out great with lots of (I hope faux-) fur. I can safely say that her earlier releases played much more with her snow theme, added snowflakes and ice crystals, but kept the fur trimming and her initial color scheme.
Nowadays it seems like the name "Abbey" stands for "random pattern that looks a bit like triangles or scribbles". The only thing that's still awesome aout her are her shoes (in my opinion).

I was very disappointed in RM, Music Festival and now Home Ick Abbey. Also, I think her budget fashion pack is just as unoriginal as Lagoona's or Lala's. Just a normal piece of clothing with some "theme" pattern - come on!

Personally, I'd prefer fewer releases but with better thought out fashion concepts.
Especially dolls like Abbey, Venus or Lagoona that have themes that are great inspiration could be handled better. There are millions of plants, millions of sea creatures, hundreds of associations with "cold" or "snow".

Right in this thread and on tumblr I see so many cool ideas fans come up with. Especially the clothing some fans design looks fresh, interesting and legit.
Mattel should draw more inspiration from its fanbase.

I think Home Ick Abbey has spoon earrings. :lol: I wonder if she has other utensils on her shoes. I like the I<3 Fashion Abbey's dark makeup the best. Sadly mine had awful thin hair so she's getting rerooted.

I agree with Lagoona needing a change in style. I like a lot of her outfits but there's literally an ocean of possibilities for inspiration.

I wish they would make Venus with an Orchid theme! If nothing else, then for her clothing. I can totally see a neat dress coming out of an Orchid design. The big images are spoilered.

I really think Draculaura would benefit from some real gothic lolita looks, rather than her current mild version of it. Perhaps they could test the waters, so to speak, with a SDCC true goth loli Lala? I bet plenty of people, even those beyond the MH fandom, would get it.
I also agree on the Lagoona front. Her first few dolls were perfect!

Just curious, how do you guys feel about the two new playsets? I'm kind of iffy on Spectra's bed, but I really like Lagoona's shower set!

Post by: tuneful87 on February 13, 2013, 09:01:50 AM
Yes, I agree that a 1600 Lagoona should have been made in that fabulous dress featured in the artwork. I hope someone someday makes a custom outfit and jewelry recreating that look.

The shower and "vanity" (sink) are SOOO CUTE! I love the use of the coral red, dark blue, and black - totally unexpected colours, but they look amazing!

beds-- Love the lagoona shower set. It may be the first playset since hydration station i get.. I think the  hydration station needs  that to accompany it :)
 spectra bed is cute but  really  still loved the frankie and DL beds the best..  While abbey and spectra's beds have been cute,  i loved that the first 2  doubled as something else.. gimmicky or not  that appealed to me LOL

Lagoona's shower set is gorgeous! I love the colors! They should use them on her doll! I will definitely be getting two of Lagoona's bed because of my one in box and one out of box rule and it won't cost me a fortune like the Hydration Station, which I still need a second one to keep in box, but the ones at TRU never go on sale or clearance! :cry:

Spectra's bed is very pretty! I won't be getting it because I don't collect playsets unless it's Lagoona's.

I can't wait to see the new DT dolls! I'm just dying to see them!

Just stepping in to say that Draculaura is still my favourite character. Yes, I biased because I love pink, and vampires, but I still love her.
Her problem is she's far too often the 'bonus doll' or in a budget line, and all of her recent outfits have been lacklustre. Her design has so much goth-loli potential, but they keep putting her in cheaper, lazy fashions. Roadster? So lame. Coffin bean? So cheap. Scaris? Unispired.
I mean, I'd like to see her in some more deluxe lines so they can really go nuts with her clothes and make them over-the-top and frou-frouy and stuff, but at the same time there are other characters who deserve those places. Like Lagoona, who is really shafted, poor girl.

I wish they would give her more of a goth-loli look like she was supposed to. I think Mattel is having trouble with certain girls and not sticking to their intended styles. If they stopped putting Draculaura in every line and took the time to give her great outfits, I think she would look tons better! I do really like her PD doll. If they keep going that route, I would start liking Draculaura more! Same goes for Lagoona, except she's just an after thought. :cry:

Post by: Tropical_Sunset on February 13, 2013, 11:29:18 AM
I find most of Draculaura's designs to be incredibly boring.  She is my least favorite out of the main ghouls.  I too wish that Mattel would focus more on over-the-top, super detailed gothic-lolita outfits for her.  Frilly, poofy skirts, lace, corsets, etc.  I remember being super-excited about Coffin Bean Draculaura after I saw the ADORABLE prototype outfit for her.  But when the real one was released...in which she was wearing some lame pink blouse or something, I lost all desire to get her.

Another thing I don't necessarily care for about Draculaura is that she is so monochromatic.  She's a pink vampire with black hair with pink streaks and pink and black clothes.   Pink, black, pink, black, pink, black, pink, black, pink, black.  I think this leads to her being less interesting overall.  At least Mattel realized that that acid yellow they used to put on some of her outfits looked horrible.  But they really need to try and replace it with another color sometimes.

Post by: Catlein on February 13, 2013, 12:03:05 PM
Yeah... I have to agree with everyone who is saying that the MH line has some creativity consistency problems. I like that there are budget lines, but there are so many that look quite similar to one another that I'd rather just have an expensive deluxe line replace several budget lines. And some of the characters really don't get a consistent look, or even an exciting look (see poor Abbey).

I'd really like to see them being a bit more daring like they were in their Ghouls Rule or DotD line. And I would like a return to the more detailed everyday clothing that you see in the Signature and Picture Day releases. I'm okay if they reuse some pieces, but I really would like to see some facial and hair variations (SO MANY PONY TAILS) that don't necessarily involve lots of glue. And short styles! They can ber versatile and fun too :)

Also, I do think some of the new characters are cute, but I really want something different and exciting (like Wyndona!!!). Jinafire was neat, but I'd love a scarier monster with horns or something different about them.
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 14
Post by: Zombelina on February 13, 2013, 12:29:42 PM
Hornsss yesss  :biggrin: I can only die happy when we get a horned monster.

I don't mind (and also don't buy all of) the plainer budget dolls--I even really love some, like DC--but I would mind if that's all we got! I very much hope we at least continue to get detailed signature dolls (or sig "versions" like School's Out/2.0, Picture Day/3.0... PD's one of my all-time favourites).

DotD remains the best dance/party line in my opinion, too  ^.^

I'm super excited for Gigi and the Heath two pack!

Also, Mattel customer service is crazy awesome. I opened my Catrine and found her with this clearish sticky goop on her legs and hair. I was pretty upset and I messaged Mattel's customer service with a short paragraph about it and then the next day they said they'd send a new one out and she should be here withing seven days! I didn't have to send a picture or anything, I was quite surprised!

Sweet 1600 Lagoona is gorgeous, why do you taunt and not release these lovelies you silly Mattel?!

I like Lala, she's cute, but when I counted up my ghouls I had far more of her than even my favorites. She's so mass produced @_@

I managed to get Roadster La second hand without having to buy that car, so I really love her, but her clothes are cheap and lazy as others have said. If they could slow her releases I'm sure they could have created something better.

Lagoona's a favorite but she is getting the weirdest combinations and what I'd consider some of the worst in the whole fashion line, but that's not her fault  :cry:

As for horned monsters, in some markets that would probably be a no no...but Loki. If you have mythology or a story to back it up it's certainly doable. I agree that it's likely a production cost/trial error like with Skelita.

Holy crap! Mind blowing moment!!

I complained to Mattel about Swimline Venus's cracked knee seam, (Very nice customer service, my first time contacting them) they sent me another, and OH MY GAWD!!! SHE HAS A DIFFERENT FACEUP!!! So for all that I've said before about her faceup being the same, I take it back, she has pink lips with an olive eye shadow look going on!! OMG!!

The first one I found and bought, she had the EXACT same face as her Signature release. This face up is the one that was shown on the prototype picture. I'll try to get a few pics of what I see.

I kinda wanted to keep this one MIB Since I already have another one opened. >,<; And nothing only that, there are some weird brown smudges on her inner thigh and cheek...Not happy with that. I'd want to contact them again to complain about it, but this was the replacement one and complaining on a replacement doesn't seem right to me. >,<;

Would they replace a replacement that is flawed??

I think I'm in the unpopular opinion because I love Lala and all her dolls! She's always been my favourite.
Also I'm loving Spectras bed but especially Lagoonas Shower! I might have to get that one, even though I'm trying to stay away from the playsets. I've already broken my '1 doll per character' rule so I'm trying to save any money I can :p

I would have loved if the new DT line was the GFF ghouls. However I'm super stoked to see Spectra with light makeup.

Ohmigosh Melody I'd love to see pics of her new makeup!

Was toodling around on Ebay and saw *two* sellers had pre-orders for Headless Headmistress; one had the vague date of her being out at the end of the month the other said they would have the orders out by March 9th or your money would be refunded. Both want over $100 :P

So it looks like Mattel was sneaky sneaky with this one, if it is true!

I have not heard of ANYONE having Wydowna- she wasn't at Toyfair and there hasn't been so much as a whisper about her- 

Also- this lady can't even spell-  how would she have these dolls before anyone on this earth?

Please LOOK AND READ...This item is a pre-sale and will ship AROUND MARCH 09 2013 or money back guarenteed........SOLD PRE-SALES IN THE PAST, CHECK MY FEEDBACKS.....I ALWAYS COME THREW....IM ONLY ORDERING A FEW OF THESE....GET WHILE THEY LAST.....

Also- I looked through her feedback and there are a number of items that she didn't come "threw" on-  and I don't see any pre-release doll feedback-  is it possible she has some sort of industry tie?  Doesn't that seem unlikely???

I think if this was legit-  there would be pre-sales popping up all over the place.   

Looked even closer at her feedback (yes, I want a Wydowna BAD) and it appears that a LOT of her auctions- including ones that she got positive feedback for-  the item never arrived and she issued refunds.  Sounds pretty unreliable to me.

I just bought Basic Venus tonight and I am in love with her hair. It is so soft! I kept telling my boyfriend to feel how soft it is because it's so soft! I love it! He says I'm gonna break her head off if I keep petting and playing with her hair. :lol: I am so happy that I went back on my word when I said I didn't care if I didn't get her basic! I got really lucky. They had 3 Venus, 1 Robecca, 3 Rochelle and 1 Abbey. I debated on grabbing Basic Rochelle, but I decided to wait. My boyfriend says she should be, "Venus McFlytrap: Daughter of the Watermelon" because of her hair color. :lol:

I call BS on this whole "pre-order" operation, so I wouldn't panic about her being out and all that. IF she were to be released eventually, how come we all haven't heard about it yet, while THIS Person says there's a guarantee that she's coming out, and they're charging a stupid high amount scalper tactics. Put 2 and 2 together.

"Pay me a stupid amount of money for a "pre-order", and I'll guarantee you when they come out, I'll search for it for you, rather than you looking for it and buying retail. BUT!!! If the due date comes up and she isn't released, I'll give you your money back so I don't get in trouble for false advertising"

That's how I'm reading it.

I'll believe it when I see someone takes an actual picture of the actual released doll and put it up on Ebay for sale. Like that one person did with the werecat 3-pack.

As for the Venus picture, I'll post it in a bit when I take pictures of it!!

On a different note... I noticed that the Holt Hyde I own isnt one of the "wave 1" releases... but a possible re-release as it has the clear side... versus the white and orange box... So I am debating about opening him... Should I?? I plan on buying a MIB original one to replace it... Lol

He was released in two different boxes, just like Ghoulia. The original boxes they were in were the coffin boxes and when SO came out, they were released in the new boxes with the SO dolls. If you are going to get the Wave 1 box to replace it, I would open it, but only after you get it. :)

Am I the last person to know about this or the first??

Weird little random story. I'm trying to sleep (and failing miserably) and I notice a weird little winky glowy light coming from the top of one of my shelves. At first I thought it just those weird eye floaty things you sometimes get in the dark. Then I thought maybe it was a light through the crack in my curtain except, as I watched, I realized it wasn't steady, it would fade in and out. I'm thinking 'wtf is going on here??' I'd also completely forgotten I'd recently reorganized that shelf and thought my werewolves were still up there so I turned on my light.

DT Cleo's nightlight glows in the dark!

Why wasn't I told about this?? I admit, I was freakin out a little what the heck it was. The weirdest part is, it isn't a steady glow, it fades in and out.

Lol, possessed dolls!  ^.^

I actually bought DT Cleo for her nightlight. I had heard about it earlier on from an online review and I'm such a sucker for anything that glows in the dark. It's mega-bright under a blacklight. :)

I could be wrong, but from the look of her, it seems like Twyla might have some glowing features on her as well, such as her dreamcatchers, and maybe even her hair.

No kidding. There was lots of stuff shown last year... this year, all we really got to see was 13 Wishes and some leaked promos? Major bummer  :( I don't know why they wouldn't take full advantage of the opportunity for publicity and to get fans hyped up. Why hide all the rest of the good stuff?

I hope you're all able to add a little romance to your day in some way.

Valentine's Day was yesterday for us here in New Zealand. I bought my wife some roses and a DVD, which I had hoped we could watch last night, but the baby decided to have a late afternoon nap, which meant she didn't go to sleep for the night till after 10pm. My wife enjoyed the musical card I got for her, though (it plays "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet").

That's what I'm hoping too.  As Comic Con gets closer, I'm really wishing for more doll info.  We already knew about the 13 Wishes and the Color Me Creepy lines. 

As an aside: I ordered new hands/lower arms for Howleen from Mattel.com.  $4 for the arms and $4.95 for shipping!!  Holy cow, that's more than the arms cost.  For $8.95, I could have spent an extra $4 and bought a new one.  Last time I order replacement parts!!!

They brought me a bouquet of daisies, a red teddy bear, and this cute pony figure thing for Valentines Day. We then went browsing around at Target. And what did I spy on the shelf?!! A Scaris Deuce!!! I grabbed him but my friends insisted on buying him for me. We then went back to my house where they insisted on ordering pizza for me. I've been extremely spoiled today and I am glad I have such awesome friends.

It probably would have been more exciting if we hadn't already seen the 13 Wishes stuff. They didn't actually show that much last year; just the four new signatures and RM. But last year, we hadn't seen any of the those. We figured that it would be the three girls at least, since their trademarks had been bouncing around. But it was exciting, because we had no idea what they would look like.

MH is at the point where it doesn't need Toy Fair pics to hype it. It's second only to Barbie (and it's really more of a sister franchise, since both are owned by the same company). We do have SDCC coming up, and they also like to throw out a few surprises that don't get shown at either place.

Yeah, maybe it's just the memory of the excitement of seeing RoRoVe for the first time that makes last year's Toy Fair seem like it was much better. I do still think they missed a big opportunity yesterday (being the last day of the fair AND the 13th) to announce/show something special.  -_-

My wife enjoyed the musical card I got for her, though (it plays "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet").

Awesome pic, puku!

Sorry for this being off-topic, but I'm wondering if that LOVE symbol is a Philadelphia thing? I know you used to be in Philly. I came here and Love Park seems to be such a big deal, and I don't quite get it :'D

Thanks! And yes, it's very much a Philly thing. It is the City of Brotherly Love, after all! ;)
It's as iconically Philadelphian as cheesesteaks and Sylvester Stallone running up the steps of the PMA.

I got very excited when I saw it at the shop yesterday. Truth be told, it's actually silver ... I recolored it in photoshop to make it look more authentic.

I was actually looking for those little heart candies, but they don't appear to sell them here in New Zealand (I found some patriotic "support our troops" themed ones at the American store across town, but they weren't particularly useful, so when I saw the mini Philly love sign, I was like "Oooh! I can use that for my picture instead!")

Have a brag for today. Have to tell because it made me so happy. My two best friends came over this morning. My love life lately has been pretty awful so they wanted to be my date. They brought me a bouquet of daisies, a red teddy bear, and this cute pony figure thing for Valentines Day. We then went browsing around at Target. And what did I spy on the shelf?!! A Scaris Deuce!!! I grabbed him but my friends insisted on buying him for me. We then went back to my house where they insisted on ordering pizza for me. I've been extremely spoiled today and I am glad I have such awesome friends.

Dazzle, you have awesome friends because you're SO awesome!!  I'm glad you were treated to a beautiful day from your friends:).  Plus Deuce as a Valentine....Cleo would be so *jealous* :P.  Happy Valentines Day sweetie!

Out for hunting today, hopefully I will find something good! I don't really know what I'm looking for honestly but I'm always up for doll hunting!

My husband surprised me yesterday with a dozen roses and DC Robecca and Scaris Draculaura. He was trying to find me the trunk I wanted to store my stuff in but he said toys r us was sold out of them, then he tried to find me some new MH shirts but jcpenny doesn't have them anymore. He said he wasn't sure what to get me so he got me those and if I already had them I could return or exchange them.. I'm so surprised he decided to get me dolls though!

Mattel Brands Media has them listed for July. When they've projected release dates for other lines in the past, they can sometimes be up to two months late in their predictions, so it could always be a little earlier.
http://mattelbrandsmedia.com/product.php?category=33&product=27

They also have a new little write up for the Music Festival dolls. The details are different from the original manufacturer description that the online retailers were given. Clawdeen is now listed as "Disco", instead of "R&B", and Abbey is "Music of the 60's" instead of "Himalayan Heritage." I'd say those descriptions are much more suited to their designs. :) They're also being confirmed as thin-boxed/budget dolls.

That does make more sense given their looks. When I first saw them I forgot all about what the leaked description had said about what music genres they were supposed to be representing. When I first saw Abbey my only thought was "hippie?" XD

SDCC Frankie?!? Good grief, I can't bring myself to sell mine, much less drop her in the donation bin!

Weird things turn up at GW sometimes...I ran into our local store for capris one day and left with not only pants but 3 nude silkstone Barbies! (A fourth turned up a few days later.) The weren't in the collectible section, either- just laying there on the Barbie shelf! Never have figured that out.
Haven't found any MH at our Goodwill yet, but I keep hoping....

^This, especially the :cry:...she's MIB for goodness sakes...There's still a few days left on the auction, so it's likely she might go up to ebay worthy prices...but if they would ship to Canada I'd be very tempted to try to get her.

That's sweet of you! :)
Haha! I never thought of it that way. I just recently watched a majority of the webisodes on youtube and I could see Cleo having a rampage, LOL. I can't decide if I like her or not. Sometimes I think Deuce is too good for her. Well, he's mine now, bwahaha!
I think Draculaura and Clawd, on the other hand, make the most adorable couple. I still need to watch my Why do Ghouls Fall in Love DVD. Why? We lost both DVD remotes for our DVD players. Like.....in the last week. And I can't figure out how to work it without the remote! Seriously! How the heck does that happen? It's so pathetic it actually makes me giggle.

Mattel needs to release Clawd again! My poor Draculaura is lonely.

I've seen some of the first wave of DT dolls at Kmart before and I was hoping I could catch a break and find her, but it looks like I'm not going to get lucky. I'm really hoping to get one of each Cleo. The only ones I need are DT, Fearleading, GB and PD. I had GB, but I sold her to help pay off my credit card.

Also, I saw a girl at work today with a MH tattoo on her face and she had a Claire's bag that had a Scaris doll in it. I'm guessing it was the Draculaura that was sitting all alone on the shelf by herself for quite a while. :lol:

If it's really a pronounced difference like that then I have to have both, too. :|

In better news, my Draculaura and her Roadster set finally arrived! (Srsly, she took like, almost a month to get here. It was crazy.) It was all worth it, because she's perfect. SO glad I don't have to worry about her anymore. And in the mean time, I managed to sell my extra roadster. So it's a win all around. ^.^

No worries! :)

I see Ghoulia's DFP pretty often. The hardest one for me to find is Robecca, but I'm glad I found it eventually. :lol: If I see Ghoulia's tomorrow when I'm out and about, I'll pick one up for ya! :) I've seen Draculaura's at a few Walmarts and Targets near me so it shouldn't be hard for me, but I'm going to a few stores in a different town that I don't go to very often. I only go to stores near my work and my house and the ones I'm going to are about 40 minutes west of me so I'm not out there unless I'm out with my boyfriend who lives out that way. Crossing my fingers for some success!

Would someone take a picture of both RM Abbeys for me (single vs. double-packed) so I can see the hair difference? Pretty please? :bateyes:

If it's really a pronounced difference like that then I have to have both, too. :|
I don't have both of them to take pics but have seen them in person.  So to explain if you have any of the other Abbey's the 2 pack has hair like that (tinsel, frosty looking) but the new single release has "normal" hair like frankie or draculaura's reg hair.  It's quite a difference so I'm thinking you're probably going to want both.   :lol:

Aww, it's a shame the single version of her doesn't have the tinsel in her hair. It's one of the things that makes her so pretty. I'll still likely get her eventually. I love the short bob cut and green added in with the other colors in her hair.

Here are a couple of pics. I am way behind on deboxing so all I have right now is in box pics. The knee pads are also different. The two pack has solid pink knee pads and the single release has translucent pink ones.

Found 4 of the deluxe fashion packs last night at my WalMart. Got all of them :) I felt slightly bad, but I know if I didn't get them all then, they would be gone when I went back. Such awesome clothes too! All my girls are going to be freaky fabulous by the end of the day.

What states have the deluxe FP been found in at a Walmart or Target?  Ours don't even have a spot for them and Target.com only has them listed as sold in stores!  None of the surrounding stores have them either here or in Minneapolis, MN. How much are they at Walmart/Target?  Anyone willing to pick me up all of them but Operetta's and ship decarded to minimize cost?  I know if I order from Amazon (if they ever get back to the low price) that it will cost me at least $40 for those 3!  Target has them listed at $7.99 online.

I think the only way you could tell them apart would be if the doll has holes punched in her ears. Her Swim doll doesn't have any earrings.

I decided just to wig her instead of buying her a new head. I think wigs give alot more depth and variety to the CAMs anyway. After I go through them I might have some spares for trade, depends on who gets what out of the bunch. I have the day off so I can play with my dollies yay.

So, this is interesting. On top of Swim Venus having a new face, people are also reporting finding newer versions of Ghouls Alive Frankie making their way out as well. Her face is made from a more solid plastic now and she looks a lot softer than her initial release, the colors are more muted:

Ahaha, you're so right. XD I totally do. Thanks for all the pictures, everyone! They've convinced me. Neither the new RM singles nor the swim dolls have appeared here anywhere, but I'll keep an eye out. (I also /may/ need both Swim Venuses, too...but definitely both RM Abbeys!)

This I've actually seen! I wish I'd taken a picture now, doh. :blush: The difference is, the original release of Ghoul's Alive Frankie has an entirely painted face. For whatever reason, her whole face is covered in green paint (that almost matches her skin), and then her eyes and lips are screen on top of that. It seems kinda fragile, as I usually see it chipped in-box, especially on her nose. This version also has a much more cherry red lip color.

This second (?) release of GA Frankie does /not/ have a painted face. The quasi-translucent green vinyl of her face is just bare, and then she has her eyes and mouth screened directly on said vinyl like normal. This version also has a more maroon lip color, like Signature Frankie.

I was looking at them both in the store, it's just weird. :blink: I can't decide which I prefer!

It seems that Venus is the most popular of this line, since yesterday, two Fred Meyers, All of them had Lagoona and Draculaura, but no Venus, except for the last one I went to which only had one, so I grabbed her.

And overnight I became a Variant collector...>,>; (unless she's the only one whose had that little mistake)

I don't know if htis is old news, but I went to Barnes and Noble two nights ago and they had a whole display of Monster Highs! They weren't in the kids' section, they were by the Funko figures and such. Ghouls Alive, Scaris basic and deluxe (no Deuce), Dance Class, and Swim Line. I bought Dance Class Howleen, finally :) They are a bit pricier there, though - Howleen came out to around $16.

I bought my Swim Venus from ebay and she has pink eyeshadow. Her box came mangled though because it was only in an envelope. Oh well. I don't keep them MIB anyways.

I still haven't seen the Swim dolls in any store here.  :huh:

Went out hunting today.  I bought Jinafine:)  I had 4 to pick through and I feel really good about the one I grabbed.  It's nice to able to compare a few dolls, when you aren't sure about the doll you are buying :P  I'm not fond of her, but the one I picked is pretty so I'm happy.  They also had 2 Skelitas but neither one seemed like the "right" one.  Oh well.

I also found both new CAM Starters (FINALLY!) but I couldn't bring myself to buy the Ice/Blob set because something Tuney pointed out.  The Ice girl's lips are kinda faint and you can see her blue face color coming through.  I love the color of her lips and would like to find a set with a more opaque look.  I did get the Mummy/Gorgon to tide me over. :squee:

I couldn't find Catrine though:(  Nor could I find the Swim girls:(  I'd like to get my hands on the Venus variant, just cuz.  I have no real reason.  I bet by the time my area (which REALLY takes it's time with releases!) gets the Swim dolls all the error Venus dolls will be gone:(  I guess that's what's best for my wallet >_<

I've got some Scaris wardrobe questions. Deuce's shirt and Ghoulia's dress both have hoods and I can't figure these out. I bought Ghoulia's dress separate and I can't figure out how to put it on one of my dolls (unless it's a CAm and I take the head off). For Deuce, I wanted to change his clothes (because his shorts are just way too tight) and I couldn't get the shirt off because of the hood.

So is there a magic trick to this? Thanks for any advice!

I have yet to hit up my local Walmart... I know there were 4 catrines at the Walmart by my moms house last I check... But they all had wacky hair... they all had the right side curl that looked like someone had pulled on it, so it was fly-away ish...

The hood wont fit over his head... but there should be a velcro closing on the back that you can open and then pull it off...

I have a question for you all. I've never washed any of my MH dolls hair. I was thinking about trying this with Catrine. Should I decide not to, however, will the glue/gel ruin the doll's hair over time?

I'm sooo close to caving in and just buying the last few RM dolls in the series. I keep seeing Lagoona, Frankie and Operetta looking at me longingly every time I go to the store. I had RM Operetta and RM Ghoulia too but returned them to the store. Now with the 2 pack soon to be on its way to me, RM Clawdeen and RM Abbey single version, I'm halfway there. May as well just continue and get the rest huh? I like Lagoona and Abbey but Operettas just not doing it for me.. buuut if I have all of the others how can I leave a hole in the set and not get her? Argghh

There isn't Velcro on the actual hood and it doesn't seem big enough to fit over his head. I don't want to damage any of his snakes. Just like the hood on Ghoulia's dress doesn't fit over the head. It also doesn't have Velcro on the hood.

No the velcro on the back makes the hole larger so you can take the hoodie off...

I haven't had any luck with finding older dolls like GB and DT. All the places I've been to that would have the budget dolls either have SS or RM. It's really hard not to spend the extra money to get them, but I know that I really don't want to pay much more than retail for them especially with shipping factored into the prices. :cry:

I found a Killer Style Frankie at Justice in the mall I work at if anyone is still interested in her! I didn't get the chance to grab Draculaura's fashion pack, but I'm hoping this week I'll be able to grab it! I'm just dying for Rochelle to wear it!

Just got this message from Mattel Australia: "There are currently no plans to range the Heath and Abbey 2 pack in NZ. We can confirm, that there are 4 boys available this year (Clawd, Gil, Deuce & Holt) in various packs and configurations. We unfortunately can’t tell you when they are coming out, so you’ll have to keep your eyes out in store for them! The reason for this is a lot of the new product coming out is characters we haven’t yet revealed in the webisode content (www.monsterhigh.com), so all this is very hush-hush."

I'm guessing Deuce will be Scaris Deuce. I'm hoping Gil, Clawd and Holt will be new releases, with new outfits, and not just rereleases. I want a Holt with articulated wrists. He's the last of my boys to still be without them now.

I wonder if that last bit is referring to the new 13 Wishes characters or some other characters that haven't come on the radar yet.

We're also getting Catrine and the CAM packs at some point. A big year for NZ collectors! Woohoo!

I'll need to make sure I have all the pieces to her, and that she doesn't have glue issues, but I have a spare GB Cleo just taking up space in one of my MH odds and ends boxes. If she's complete and doesn't have signs of glue, I'd be happy to sell her to you for a reasonable price. My main concern is the glue, since she came with the five pack Target exclusive; both the Frankie and Draculaura have shown signs of the glue. Her hair is a bit tacky, but unlike the other two, she hasn't had a wash yet, so it might just be the usual gel that I feel. PM me if you're interested!

They've gotten back to me to say that unfortunately Holt will not have articulated wrists. Sounds like they're just going to rerelease his signature doll then. I wonder if that means we'll just be getting more SS Gils as well. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Either way, I'll have to buy a few to use as trades for the things I know we *won't* be getting down here, like Heath.

I have like 20 Walmarts within about a 21 mile radius. Just go to walmart.com and use the zipcode 60004 and you will see how many there are. :lol: I think there are maybe about 10 Targets in the same radius too. I don't ever drive that far or to all of them as some of them take up to 30 minutes or so to get to, but I usually drive to the ones that are 20 minutes or less. The ones I frequent the most are 3 Targets that are less than 10 minutes from my house and 2 Walmarts that are next to two of them.

I have a question for you all. I've never washed any of my MH dolls hair. I was thinking about trying this with Catrine. Should I decide not to, however, will the glue/gel ruin the doll's hair over time?

I have no real idea, I'd assume the gel is harmless, BUT the oldest released doll I got last year was a dotd Cleo. Her hair was very gelled and had massive nastiness. Her bangs touched her face the whole time in the box and part of one her eyebrows is like...melted off. I'm not sure if her hair issues are from the gel sitting long term( Dotd cleo also has full on helmet gel) or if its the general quality control of that specific doll. When I washed it small chunks of hair fell out as well but they did not even seem to be rooted so I wasn't worried. Sorry if that answered nothing :P After I got her I wash all my dolls just in case though.

Did we have a release date for the 2nd wave of power ghouls? Just curious...

I've only heard fall.

FALL !?!?!? *^*

Wow, that is a.. cruel wait.
BTW, is the first PowerGhoul wave still sold in stores? I decided I need a second set to keep MIB. ^^

They've only really started getting fully distributed.... So yep, definitely still available.

Just got this message from Mattel Australia: "There are currently no plans to range the Heath and Abbey 2 pack in NZ. We can confirm, that there are 4 boys available this year (Clawd, Gil, Deuce & Holt) in various packs and configurations. We unfortunately can’t tell you when they are coming out, so you’ll have to keep your eyes out in store for them! The reason for this is a lot of the new product coming out is characters we haven’t yet revealed in the webisode content (www.monsterhigh.com), so all this is very hush-hush."

I'm guessing Deuce will be Scaris Deuce. I'm hoping Gil, Clawd and Holt will be new releases, with new outfits, and not just rereleases. I want a Holt with articulated wrists. He's the last of my boys to still be without them now.

I wonder if that last bit is referring to the new 13 Wishes characters or some other characters that haven't come on the radar yet.

We're also getting Catrine and the CAM packs at some point. A big year for NZ collectors! Woohoo!

Sorry just catching up; BOYS!?! OH my RA! Im sooo excited! My ghouls are so needing more boys! And HOLT, im fine with a rerelease I just need to get Holt! and if i find more then one maybe another Holt (and maybe one to customize into his brother...) And another Clawd would be nice and probably Gil. Sqeee!!

That's how I feel too but hopefully it is in the US and not just NZ.  I am finding now that I really want a Holt doll.  Not really sold on Gil.  I am even thinking I need to eventually track down a GB Jackson.  I didn't like his signature release at all but I like the GB release.  I have myself a Clawd and Deuce so mostly set on those, unless of course I can't resist them in real life.

Fall??? Why fall? Is it normal for the second wave of a line to be released so much later than the first?

Fall for MH is usually summer. :lol: Dolls tend to show up 1-2 months earlier than their estimated date. The person who I got this information from is very knowledgeable and I believe he has access to retail information. He posted this on the MHDolls forum. This is what he said:

"Toralei and Frankie probably will not show up for at least 3 months -- that's the typical time for each case in an assortment. I bet we won't see them until fall."

He's usually spot on, but I'm betting we will see them around late spring like May. I remember when Abbey and Spectra were to come out in August 2011 and they ended up showing up in I think June or July.

If I were interested in them, I wouldn't want to wait either, but since this is one of my least favorite lines it doesn't matter to me. :lol: I do wish they will show up sooner for those who want them. :)

Ohh, I hope that in case of a re-release instead of Sig dolls, Europe will see some of the Gils. He's the only boy doll I desperately want to own. He's just so alien-looking with his fins, scales and gills.
My only Lagoona so far is her Swim version, so I'd be also happy with a SS re-release. They can both wear swim attire, that's cool with me.

Going to give Gil a speedo anyways, so his clothes are not of interest to me, hehe...

I was thinking if I went to a convention I'd totally go as Toralei because I love orange hair and cats and I have a variety of meows already down. (Thanks to my cat being a vocalist it is easy to copy  :cool: ) 

Who would ya'll dress up as, if you could?  and If you have already done so, who were you?

I have been playing with the idea of cosplaying a MH character because I think it would be really fun and I go to a few conventions a year so there are plenty of opportunities. I think I would dress up as Abbey or Rochelle. Maybe Ghoulia.

I am sorry, my dear Crimson, but I totally lol'd at this.  :lol: I do not think that you would like the rest of the class has a new home inside of your tummy at all.

Back on topic, despite my feeling underwhelmed with Catrine I picked her up when I saw her at Wal-Mart the other day because I am a sucker for the color purple and I could not resist.  While I do like her color scheme I can honestly say that I am not all that smitten with her as I am with most of my other dolls.

I sense a possible trade for Skellita in her future...:P

I am so mad right now! :mad: So after leaving nearly an hour after I was supposed to leave work I went over to Target to see if they had Draculaura's fashion pack. To my surprise, it was the only one on the shelf! I was so ecstatic that I grabbed it and grabbed a nearly perfect PD Cleo. So fast forward 40 minutes later, I grab my Rochelle and the fashion pack and as I'm starting to open it, I notice that part of it was already open. I look to see if anything was missing and her shoes are gone! I am so mad I didn't notice it during my excitement. Now I have to go track down another one and exchange it so I can't play dress up with my Rochelle. :cry:

At least I found a new Swim Venus and Lagoona. The Swim Venus has a smudge on her lips, but she has the green eye shadow! Now I don't know if I should open up either of them or return the one with the pink make up. What do y'all think I should do?

Yeah, I didn't wanna say anything about the new packaging, but the new way they're packing them, yes saves costs and all, but at the same time, they look VERY easy to open through and steal something. >,>; Yay new packing saves us money! But now we gotta be careful when we see them and inspect to make perfect sure it's complete.

As for Venus, I say wait till you find a replacement one in store, then return the smudged lip one, OR Contact mattel about the paint smear.

I think the new packaging is cute, but I agree it's so much easier to steal than the older ones because with the older ones you had to work hard to get anything out. I hope I can easily find another one tomorrow so I can play dress up with Rochelle. For now I'll just take PD Cleo and my new Swim Lagoona out of their boxes and brush their hair. :heart:

I'll probably just wait to find another one with green make up to replace. I'm in no rush. I don't want to bother Mattel with something like a little paint smear. It's not too noticeable. It's going to be so hard not to take either of them out of the box. Venus' hair is so soft and I just adore brushing her hair! *O* I guess I'll figure out which one to keep in box when I get a new one with green make up. I'm just really happy to have one of each! :biggrin:

I grab my Rochelle and the fashion pack and as I'm starting to open it, I notice that part of it was already open. I look to see if anything was missing and her shoes are gone! I am so mad I didn't notice it during my excitement. Now I have to go track down another one and exchange it so I can't play dress up with my Rochelle. :cry:

I'm so sorry you got a pack with no shoes  :scared: I'll be more careful...been a bit lazy about double checking everything but I do always look for the shoes because they are so pretty..

Thieves!

I agree with Luvly on the lip smear. If you want to repaint it I guess it doesn't matter but at least with finding another in store you can see if it has the same problem or not!

I'm usually very careful especially since I made sure the PD Cleo had great makeup, but this time I was just too excited to check. I'm so disheartened that people would do such a thing, but I shouldn't be surprised. :cry:

I'm not good with painting so I'll just be patient. I've had good luck so far with finding them so I'll just be more patient. I work in a mall with a Justice and down the street is a Meijer, plus there's another Justice about 5 minutes from my house so it's not like I'm driving all over the state for her. :)

D: the shoes are the best part! what kind of jerk would steal the shoes!

I really wish we had a kmart or a justice. I am going to have to rely on friends to track down both of these Venus dolls.

I tend to focus on one thing and miss another like eyes or lips and bald spots.

Yeah it's a bummer and I'm not surprised people do it but then you have this:
"I steal because it's so expensive"  well why do you think they keep raising prices on small items! Because of thieves >< so they can take that into account for money they can gain/lose. Oh and many other reasons  :P

I haven't seen any around but I've been avoiding doll purchases. :) My last purchase by me was a while ago actually so that's good.  I'll try the food store tomorrow heeee and maybe Kmart eventually since they've been found there.
They should be around long enough for you to pick a good one or two!

I focus on the face. That's all that matters to me. I wasn't bothered by the fact that the PD Cleo doesn't have a lot of tinsel. I didn't care. I just wanted her to have a good face. :lol:

I try not to purchase too many dolls, but I've been avoiding PD Cleo for weeks! I keep saying, "Next paycheck!" (I get paid weekly) and I just couldn't bring myself to buy her 'til now. :lol: Now I'm caught up 'til the new stuff comes out like PD Lagoona and Frankie, Ghoul's Night Out and the 13 Wishes dolls which won't be 'til late Spring/early Summer.

They just came out so I should definitely be able to find a good one with green make up. I also need to exchange the one I have with pink make up for one with a knee that isn't splitting. I just have so much to deal with. :lol:


I saw this on tumblr and just had to share! If I was drinking anything, I would have spit it out all over my computer. It's just too funny! :lol:

Right?! I find myself exchanging dolls recently with better lip paint. Like my Scaris Rochelle from Xmas.  Thinking of doing that with my DDG 3 pack.....I love Lala + Abbey but their eyes are a little funny?  and Ghoulia's lips are badly smudged.  But I know the quality on those packs is meh so I'll see if I can find pretty ones, otherwise I'll keep em and make it work! They are still lovely after all I am just being picky..... :blush:

I hear ya! I've passed up so many dolls because of that. I nearly missed out on Basic Venus and the re-release of SO Lagoona because I was being way too picky. Especially since they aren't shipping them anymore now that PD dolls have replaced them. I love 'em anyways because they are just absolutely lovely dolls, but I can't help but be picky. :blush:

While we're at requesting things from Mattel... OMG PLEASE MAKE A TOY OUT OF THOSE HELLHOUNDS! It's not normal how much I love how they look:

I'm not sure how I missed hellhounds!!! But since I collect these, I will HAVE to have them if they make them....

I think this webisode isn't on the official MH youtube channel yet. I saw this at the Polish MH channel.
Don't they look just awesome?! I think they will never make them, though. They were just one-shots for the webisode and tbh, I can't see Mattel releaseing something that gruesome looking in a fashion doll toyline :huh:

PS: wait, did you say you collect monstrous dogs? Show me! :biggrin:


I did... I adore hellhounds... I don't have many and some of them are actually hyena's LOL but here are some of them. I will upload a more current picture later this week. I have added a houndour from pokemon and another plastic dog I came across at a yardsale...

For Halloween, I'd love to be Clawd. If only I was black! Grrr!

Easier to find a good brown stage makeup than to get a good body!
I dunno... I'd be afraid of someone getting offended and making "blackface" parallels. Honestly though you could cosplay Clawd without using the makeup and still look good!
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 14
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on February 19, 2013, 06:49:48 AM
There was recently a lot of drama on Tumblr about someone asking whether or not they should use brown makeup to cosplay Clawdeen. Everybody's immediate thought was blackface. So, no, I definitely wouldn't recommend putting on brown makeup to cosplay Clawd...

However, I see nothing wrong with a white person cosplaying a black character. There are lots of black cosplayers who do white anime characters, so why not the reverse? And anyway...

Just got this message from Mattel Australia: "There are currently no plans to range the Heath and Abbey 2 pack in NZ. We can confirm, that there are 4 boys available this year (Clawd, Gil, Deuce & Holt) in various packs and configurations. We unfortunately can’t tell you when they are coming out, so you’ll have to keep your eyes out in store for them! The reason for this is a lot of the new product coming out is characters we haven’t yet revealed in the webisode content (www.monsterhigh.com), so all this is very hush-hush."

I'm guessing Deuce will be Scaris Deuce. I'm hoping Gil, Clawd and Holt will be new releases, with new outfits, and not just rereleases. I want a Holt with articulated wrists. He's the last of my boys to still be without them now.

I wonder if that last bit is referring to the new 13 Wishes characters or some other characters that haven't come on the radar yet.

We're also getting Catrine and the CAM packs at some point. A big year for NZ collectors! Woohoo!

Ooh, good news :D also that first part sounds like maybe Heath/Abbey will be on the shelves in Australia maybe?

I love the two pigtails and the fact her hair has more pink. I have hannaliten to thank for selling her to me, since I don't think I'd ever have found her at my Kmart.

I completely agree with this! I've been to many conventions and people dressup as a character regardless of race, gender, and the presence of a disability. If you want to dressup, don't let anything stop you.  :)


So I was reading about the Scaris 2-pack on the Monster High Dolls site and there is someone claiming to know what two dolls are included in the pack.

Quote
I know who's in it but I'm not allowed to tell :CCC
I can say that fans of characters who aren't out as often as the main three (but still love the original cast) will def be pleased.

The reverse isn't controversial because black or brown people in Europe or America don't have a history of oppressing white people, dressing up as them and making them out to be horrible caricatures in Minstrel Shows.

My personal stance is this one: it's okay to use make-up in cosplay. But don't use body make-ups and airbrushes in too dark shades. Looking tanned is no crime. Having dark skin =/= having a tan.
But be very, very sensitive about it. Always keep in mind that certain people of color might get very offended and if they do: take them seriously. Don't dismiss their feelings just because you once saw Dave Chapelle do "white face".

Buuuut, I'm not big on cosplay, so what do I know? I only dress up for Halloween (even though I would love to walk the streets in a fun costume every day, lol) :)

If you are going to cosplay as a black character, please do not do what my idiotic ex-friend did. I was so embarrassed when I saw his costume at a convention 3 years ago. My ex-friend is white, but he did a "Black Face" Lewis from Left 4 Dead. He painted his face black and painted his lips bright red and extended the make up past his lips to look like he had big red lips. I am not black, but I was offended. It made me sick to my stomach.

That was the final straw of our friendship. I don't tolerate that kind of crap. It sickens me that someone would do such a thing. :cry: I'm sure none of us here would ever do such a thing because everyone here is so lovely, but I wanted to share an example of "How NOT to cosplay a black character."

Well, for the last couple of weeks or so I've been eyeing this dress at Macy's that reminds me of Lagoona's RM outfit! I was so tempted to buy it, but it's too pricey for me right now.

If you are going to cosplay as a black character, please do not do what my idiotic ex-friend did. I was so embarrassed when I saw his costume at a convention 3 years ago. My ex-friend is white, but he did a "Black Face" Lewis from Left 4 Dead. He painted his face black and painted his lips bright red and extended the make up past his lips to look like he had big red lips. I am not black, but I was offended. It made me sick to my stomach.

I hope I didn't sound like I was condoning blackface!!!! I guess I consider the Wolf family to be brown-toned partially from being wolves. The majority of background werewolves are brown or gray; since a lot of werewolves in horror movies are brown-furred, I always thought that was the original inspiration. If I saw someone in brown makeup, with yellow eyes and wolf ears, I'd automatically think "werewolf", not "dated, mocking another race, and in poor taste". Of course, I'm not a POC, so maybe that train of thought is flawed. Apologies if I offended anyone!

Back on the topic of dolls, I am dying for that Scaris two-pack to show up. I'm positive it'll be Lagoona and Cleo. Aside from loving both of them, I also want my Scaris collection to be truly complete. I just received Catrine from one of my besties (and she had to hunt like mad for a good one), and tonight I picked up the cafe cart. I hope Mattel offers the pieces on their parts site; I need another one of those darling skull chairs!

I need another chair (or 5) too!! It bothers me when they create a large line (like scaris has 10 characters right now... Not including the elusive 2 pack  ^.^ ) and then have a play set... (like coffin bean, or the cafe set and such...) and then dont make it large enough (or with enough pieces) to accommodate everyone in that line... They needed to add a couple more chairs/benches in with that cafe cart  ;) Lol... I have a plan for my cafe/scaris peeps...

It did not sound like that to me. I sincerely apologize if it sounded like I thought that's what you were doing. I was just sharing a story about an ex-friend doing it wrong. :)

I am dying as well for that Scaris 2 Pack. It will be mine! I will have two of them if Lagoona is truly in it. :lol: I'm really tempted to get the cafe! I'm loving the colors and translucency! I'm also wanting Cleo's Vanity again, but I'm waiting for it to go on clearance. Same with Lagoona's Hydration Station.

I decided to start a MASIVE project and make a doll house for me and my girls.... so now my rule against buying the play sets has gone out the window.  :lol: Now im gonna need the scaris cafe (and extra chairs hehe) so yes they all need to go on clearance so we can buy them  ;) Scaris 2 pack, i cant wait to see it i love this line. the only ones i havent bought are Frankie and Lala which is hard cuz i like them but im trying to be picky which versions i buy of each ghoul.   >_<

I want the Coffin Bean, Scaris cafe, and the Scaris car... all to have more creative ways to set up my display. My wallet, however, is screaming at me in agony. And the other half of me that wants a Pullip and a BJD are crying.

In other, less crazy news, I chopped off a good bit of Spectra's hair as it was driving me crazy. Still is about butt length (on par with the other long haired dolls I have), but it suddenly doesn't make her head droop as bad as it used to! It's a bit uneven but I'm trying to tell myself that fits the character because if I keep trimming she's going to be bald...

I have no luck whatsoever! I was taking off Rochelle's hand to put on the pink bracelet from Draculaura's fashion and when I was putting her hand back into her arm, the peg on Rochelle's hand broke so now part of it is stuck in her arm and I can't put her hand back in her arm. I just want to cry. :cry:

You can always see if Mattel sells spare arms for Rochelle. You could replace it from the elbow down.


And on the topic of cos-play and blackface, (i forget who originally posted) if skin tone is important to you, why not just get darker with a spray tan? I'm sure it won't be perfect, but it would be closer and not offensive. :)

Best MH luck ever today!!!  I've only ever seen Scaris Deuce in once store ever and that was Kmart.  I bought the 2 that were there for an Arena member a few months ago, and I got Toralei out of the trade.  Well, shortly after the boys left my possession, my daughters decided that they wanted to collect the MH guys.  I have been searching for another Deuce everywhere and wasn't able to find him.  Until today...

I found 2 of them!!  Now my daughters don't have to fight over him.  I also was able to score:

Werecat Fearleading set
Ghouls Rule Clawdeen (I can't believe we didn't already own her!)
Swim Lagoona. (Salpy, you changed my mind about her!  She's so awesome!)

I love the Fearleading sets!!  The squad looks a little more complete with the Werecats now. Cleo and Draculara were looking a little lonely.  My Scaris set is now complete too.  Awesome doll hunting day!!!

I got a response from Mattel about my Draculaura. They are sending me a replacement.

On the topic of cosplay I've cosplayed Draculaura (plan to fix her up and wear her again) I totally want to do another ghoul this year but I'm having a hard time deciding who :p

I just got PD Spectra and Lala! Lala has AWFUL box hair so I'll definietly be fixing that up soon. I just adore Spectra! PD of her is my favourite release by far. I hated her bangs in DDG and haven't seen a sig Spectra in a long time.

I've been meaning to ask this for a while but does anyone else have loose arm problems with DDG? Both my Operetta and Lagoona have loose arms and won't pose very well.

Post by: Bow Tie on February 20, 2013, 03:03:14 PM
I haven't had trouble with posing my DDG Lagoonas' arms. I had problems with the first release of SO Lagoona and Classroom Lagoona because their arms were so loose they couldn't even hold a purse. -_-

My boyfriend called me and bought me two of Deuce's uniform for $5 each at Walmart! :) I asked him why he bought both of them and he said that I told him to get both. I only told him to get one, but whatevs! I'll just keep both since $5 is the perfect price! XD

Anyone notice DC Operetta's legs are hollow and feel different then the other doll legs? I was putting her in a outfit and her feet kept clacking together, I thought it was strange because I had just dressed 2 CAMs and they didn't clack. I did a test and yep Op's legs feel different and make different sounds.

Same. I was able to recurl my Operetta's hair just fine, but no one else's hair will behave. It's highly upsetting, because I think Draculaura would look adorable with some big straw curls.

Maybe try misting with a little bit of hairspray? When I curled Nef's hair, I left it rolled up for a few days, then when i took them out, I misted her with a bit of hairspray to help hold the curl, and shes still holding curls almost 3 weeks after I took them down!

I've had lots of trouble with it too. Only Lagoona (after a few times) and Wonder Wolf were able to curl for me. I tried to do Robeccas only to have it fall out within the hour :< I wonder if it's something to do with their hair type/where they were produced.

I just checked the guide and Nick just has a bunch of TMNT episodes. No Monster High. Unless it's not on regular Nickelodeon, but like Nick 2 or Teen Nick. I didn't check any of them. I don't have those channels memorized. My son does, but he isn't awake yet.

Ohmy! I didn't know this yet but now I wish there'd be a 30min cartoon series drawn in this style! :D
But indeed, cartoons like that need to be animated in the classical way.. drawing frame by frame.
The webisodes and 3D work more like puppets in a way where you set a starting&ending point for each limb that moves around. Facial expressions are also presets.
Of course building the 3D models and environments takes longer than drawing them in vectors, but once done, both animate fast and thus save costs. ^^;

Disney is developing an interesting mix of 3D/hand drawn techniques with 'paperman', but I doubt Mattel will pick up on that for the cartoons. sigh. xD

Spectra's working title was originally under that name. :) Later, it was later changed to Vondergeist when her trademark was filed.

This is the first image that was ever leaked of the character (which was presumably taken at Toyfair 2011), along with her original name on the box. Around the time she was released, many websites still had her "Von Hauntington" title listed for the character's doll and plush, since that's what they were originally told her name was. I guess some stores just never bothered to change it.  :lol:

It is POSSIBLE I grabbed the last one- but it looks like they list these on a very regular basis (along with other somewhat harder to find currently available dolls/cam stuff) so it is definitely worth it to keep checking back!

I have a question if any one can answer, what is the price of the werecat fearleading pack in store?

39.99 at toysrus

Thankyou very much for replying!  I am in decisive on weather to buy it now at the TRU eBay store ..it's a little over 60$ on the BIN offer but with free shipping.. Yet I am going to the TRU in my area tomorrow to see if they have anything new.. Ahh decisions,decisions..

The TRU eBay is charging overprice for their EXCLUSIVE?! I hope you are able to find the set in-store so you don't have to pay the extra $20+

Well. My TRU had one thing I have been wanting for a while! Draculaura's Powder Room WITH the doll. I've been in love with that bath tub for the longest time, and I adore how toned down the makeup is on Lala, so I just had to have her! Thank goodness I just got my taxes back!

They also had  1 Ghoulia & Scooter, which I debated getting, but passed on, and two of the werecat fearleading sets.

If anyone wants either of those, Please feel free to PM me and I'm happy to pick them up and ship them to you. I would need payment up front though, at least in part. And I can tell you right now that the fearleading 3pack was something like $15 give or take, to ship in it's original box, priority in the USA when I got one for someone else. I am happy to send them to you for retail cost. If you just toss in a couple bucks extra to help cover my gas costs, I'm happy :)

I know I was surprised as well.. I hope I can find the in store too

Also has anyone else had this problem, I washed the sig. were twins hair and in one the stripes were not faded too bad but the one with the white hair her black stripes are just about nonexistent. Is that normal?

For mine, just brushing removed most of the stripes. Its just stamped onto the hair after all, so I didn't expect much.

Awesome, love Cleo as usual!  Hopefully the real deal!  When is this set supposed to debut in stores?  I hope I don't have trouble getting it.  Our closes TRU sucks at stocking MH.  My husband stopped there on the way back from a job interview 4 hours away and they had practically empty shelves with the newest things being the single FP and GA dolls.  The place was a mess.  It's also over an hour away from me.

Are you sure that was the TRU listing?  I just bought a set from TRU this morning and it was $39  ??   There is free shipping if you buy enough items to meet some minimum (forget what it was but am thinking $75 or so).  But even if you don't meet the free shipping criteria, shipping was only $6.37 which is reasonable.


Just checked and TRU has another still available-  $39.   http://www.ebay.com/itm/350721601646?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/350721601646?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649)

Post by: Icicle on February 21, 2013, 11:35:04 AM
It's a neat Cleo (of course after I got the PD one this one comes out), though I like her art far better. And as of late I kinda am cringing at the Lagoona... perhaps out of box shots (assuming it's legit) would make me warm up to her. At least then my fiance can get the pack, have another Lagoona for his army and he has a Cleo for his Ghoulia (best couple ships best couple /bricked)
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 14

Lagoona's outfit has massive potential though, especially if those are separates. Teal miniskirt!!!

Post by: Bow Tie on February 21, 2013, 11:49:01 AM
I am dying for that 2 Pack. My boyfriend asked, "That's your dream 2 Pack, right?" XD It's so true! Cleo and Lagoona are my faves! So I'll definitely be getting two of them! One to keep in box and one to take the dolls out!

Lagoona looks like she is wearing a teal dress with a fishnet top over it. She looks ok. I'm disappointed, but that won't stop me from adding her to my ever-growing army of Lagoona. :lol: I'm hoping we get better pictures soon so I can form a better opinion.

Phew, looks like this is a set I'll most likely pass on. Very nice and all, but I just don't need it. (watch a few months go by and it comes back to bite me in the rump. :P)
Title: Re: Monster High Discussion 14
Post by: Icicle on February 21, 2013, 11:57:08 AM
Yeah Lagoona's outfit is the only thing I like! I know what is bothering me with her, is that hair style. I prefer there to be SOME hair near the face as the dolls look like the have massive foreheads to me otherwise. But we all know if you take that hair down, there is gonna be bald spots galore...

The extra shoes in the two-pack look like repaints. Lagoona's look like her School's Out jellies but in teal, while Cleo's look like her fashion pack heels but without the black paint.

Post by: LuvlyMelody on February 21, 2013, 12:45:38 PM
Iono why, maybe it's her lip color or her eyebrows or maybe from being a small picture, but I think it looks like Lagoona has her Signature release face for this release. That'd be cool if it was!

That two pack (with that exact same photo) is up on german ebay right now. The seller is located in my parents' hometown and I JUST checked that TRU.. they did have the werecats but no scaris two-pack so.. hm. Either it's no TRU exclusive here or they put it out late at night or they for whatever reason had just one or... well.. no, I just hope it's legit.. why put a fake on ger-bay? Makes no sense.

If you use a little exacto knife at the root of each piece of tinsel (and just pull the tinsel against the blade) you get clean trims and no white thread left.

They should make a "Daughter of the Monster Under The Bed" and have her be some kind of ghoul who steals shoes and socks and comes with like....10 pairs of shoes and a bunch of socks! All mix and matched pairs that aren't the same, but do work together in contrast. That'd be an awesome idea for a release!! XD

Plus if you decide you don't want the dolls you'd make some of your money back selling those.  You'd come out WAY ahead buying the set.   Although then you'll fall in love and decide to keep the dolls   :lol:

I love Scaris Cleo's dress and I want to have both pairs of her shoes. I don't need the dolls, though. Scaris Cleo is pretty, but I don't want her. It's bad enough I already broke my 1 doll per character rule with Cleo because I wanted both PD and Fearleading Cleo. Though, I've renamed PD Cleo Isis and she's Cleo's cousin in my head. They look different enough for that to be possible, I think.
