I bring it up to ask: I wonder if she was done differently due to being ONLY available in the 5-pack?Ghoulia is the only girl from this set that did not come out of the box with oily hair. My frankie from this set had horrible glue seepage, and Ghoulia is still perfectly fine. It is possible that may be because she was manufactured later, as the other girls are all re-boxes. So either she was made later and it mgiht stil lhappen in time, or she was made differently and might be safe.Maybe the oil in saran helps the glue flow through the plugs easier, and kanekalon is better at plugging them up?

The problem is all these methods to remove the glue require you wash the hair out. It really is a pain if you are trying to keep the original hair style.

It really is a pain if you are trying to keep the original hair style.Yeah, I'm going to be upset if one my dolls with a difficult-to-recreate hairstyle starts showing signs. On a side note, I bet someone could make BIG MONEY starting a rehairing business, advertising helping people with glue seepage issues. If someone could guarantee color match 100% and that they used the same hair type, etc etc etc, I'd probably just rehair the darn things!
Does glue seepage cause scalp "color change"? I got my wave one Frankie back the other day and most of her scalp is this sickly yellow color. It couldn't really get it to scrape off. I was absolutely horrified when I saw that.
I haven't determined the brown in Cleo's hair or Clawdeen's different browns. It hasn't been a priority.
So, I am very very new to MH...just got my very first doll today (Ghouls Rule Abbey Bominable)! Anyway, this thread is scaring me that if I leave her MIB like I had planned that I will end up with a gooey icky doll...as well if I get any others that I want. I do not style or do anything with clothes or things like that with dolls and do not want to have to deal with this in a toy I collect. What are the basics on this, etc.? What should I be careful of? My Abbey is made in Indonesia!
Does washing their hair cause any kind of glue seepage?
Well, her semi greasy hair doesn't bother me that much, so I don't think I'll chance it;)
