Discontinued? Awwww...

But it must have been pretty expensive to create dolls with a different gimmick every time.  :/  It's really sad, they tried a lot of very cool and risky things with this line.

this is very disappointing! i don't have any of the new girls, and don't like the uncertainty as to a proper full release!

That sort of sucks.  I always wanted to collect these girls, but funds have always prohibited me from getting any but one.  I now have something. (Though with my luck lately, not sure how long it will last.)  Since I'm only interested in the ones with the gimmicks, I could try buying the older girls first and then work my way up.  Since MGA is discontinuing the line due to unpopularity, I imagine that they shouldn't be too expensive online. (Though the discontinuation of the line would explain why I couldn't find any of these girls at Wal-Mart or Target anymore.)

Right now, however, the only one I really want is Sila Clops.

Oh nooooo!  Guess I'd better get that ice girl-  I saw her on Kmart online but just didn't want to pay the shipping.

You....what....noo.. D: Discontinued?!

I can't say I'm surprised though. In Australia they shelf warm too (but priced at $30 a doll, can we be surprised?!)

So I have ice and fire girl incoming from ebay, and the coil hair dolls incoming from Amazon - but no where I can find to buy Mimi or Vera :( They will not be coming down to Australia if they are discontinued, of that I'm certain.

Would someone mind picking them up for me? <3 *hopes*

That means the only dolls I wont have are the secret skins ones, orbit beach and most of the little pet eggs. I can live with that though. I think. >_>

I am really disappointed that the line is being discontinued- I think they are really beautiful and unusual dolls- and REALLY loved the elemental and insect themes- and new arms/legs design. 

So glad I finally got all the new ones I wanted-  I never felt the need to get the stellar skinz ones, hopefully I don't regret it later.  I never wanted all the pets either- too overpriced.

Is anyone finding the newer ones on sale?  Just debating how long I should wait before buying them.

The person who runs this blog has an inside contact and tends to have a lot of MGA related news before anywhere else.

While I doubt sales will go up enough for them to consider new lines in the Spring I don't think we need to panic about the Fall ones yet. They produced a regular run of those at least. Maybe they will even pop up at TJ Maxx or Burlington.

I just noticed that Target.com has Tula on sale-  they also have Sila (not on sale).  THey don't have any of the NEW new ones like the Cyborgs or the Elementals.

 if they do discontinue novis.. i do hope they will consider an adult collector line :)
